Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 435 - 431: The Terrifying Iron-Armed Ape King

"You can’t escape!"

"Surrender obediently!"

Voices echoed relentlessly across the street at the center of the battlefield.

In this chase, Lin You swiftly dashed out from his original street, racing toward the gardens.

Behind him, the Realm Alliance troops nearly covered the sky and ground, surging forth like a black tide.

That’s the advantage of team combat.

With various group skills in play, their speed was almost on par with Lin You’s under the Four-leaf Protection, even showing signs of closing in on him.

Lin You harnessed the Power of Rule, activating the Shadow Skill to boost his speed again, widening the gap between them.

However.

To his surprise.

Suddenly, Chu Zhenyue’s voice shouted from among the Realm Alliance troops.

"Charge battle array, deploy!"

As his voice fell, the humanoid cavalry beside him spread out, forming a spearhead-shaped battle array at the front of the troops.

In the next second.

The speed of all species within the range suddenly increased, gradually closing the distance between both sides!

This is the specialty of humanoid-type species.

They can leverage different battle arrays to produce unique effects and coordinate.

Such as the defense battle array for shield armor species and the charge battle array for cavalry species.

It’s a...

species type that greatly values command ability, and only those skilled in tactical deployment can maximize its potential.

Chu Zhenyue becoming the leader of the Realm Alliance troops is indeed remarkable.

As the species troop gradually closed in, Lin You summoned the Mushroom Demon King.

Words were unnecessary.

As soon as the Mushroom Demon King appeared, it instantly plucked a heap of mushrooms of various colors from its body, throwing them fiercely backward, forming an arch across Chu Zhenyue’s unavoidable path.

"Boom——"

"Ah——"

Giant mushroom clouds soared, blasting the advance cavalry to smithereens.

Two unlucky souls were killed instantly by the explosions.

[Killed Alternate Plane Tier Eight Lord, gained 37.84 million Magic Energy, 1 merit point, Tier Eight Territory Essence x1]

[Killed Alternate Plane Tier Eight Lord, gained 65.10 million Magic Energy, 1 merit point, Tier Eight Territory Essence x1]

Just like that, Lin You gained over a hundred million Magic Energy.

Unfortunately, only two merit points were earned, which seemed to have been converted by them into items.

But the good news is.

The cavalry’s charge state was nullified after the explosion, their speed reduced instantly.

"Leader, if we continue the pursuit, we’ll reach the central area soon." A lord beside Chu Zhenyue reminded.

Acting here is inherently risky.

If they proceed further, unforeseen incidents may occur.

Chu Zhenyue knows continuing is dangerous, yet if they miss this prime chance to kill Lin You, they’ll let a formidable future foe escape, making it difficult to kill him later.

"Keep chasing. With so many of us, how can we fear a few demons?" Chu Zhenyue said sternly.

With over a thousand Tier Eight Lords, unless facing excessively monstrous demons or demon groups, there shouldn’t be major danger.

Plus, such a loss to eliminate a future threat is totally worth it!

So very soon.

They regrouped and accelerated towards Lin You once again.

During this chase, Lin You finally passed the previously crossed path, arriving outside the gardens.

Glancing at the persistent pursuit army behind him, without hesitation, he plunged headlong into the gardens.

The Realm Alliance lords’ faces changed instantly upon seeing this.

Especially when spotting the enormous Iron-Armed Giant Ape in the garden, they were left aghast.

"Not good! It’s a Lord Demon!"

"SSS-level Iron-Armed Ape King!"

"He’s running inside!"

"Retreat! Quick, retreat!"

The Realm Alliance members were terrified, unexpectedly encountering such a formidable demon here.

Tier Nine SSS-level Lord Demon, average attributes nearing twenty thousand, was utterly beyond their ability to handle, however numerous they might be.

In their panic, they quickly turned away, fleeing the garden’s vicinity.

Yet.

Would Lin You allow them to leave so easily?

"Roar!!"

Deep within the garden, the Iron-Armed Ape King was finally stirred, letting out a thunderous roar.

That roar transformed into a shockwave, sweeping outward, terrifying the Realm Alliance members to their cores.

"He actually ran inside! Does he have a death wish!?"

Chu Zhenyue’s face darkened, gazing at the garden, only to be stunned.

For by now in the garden, Lin You’s figure was nowhere to be seen, as if vanished into thin air.

Instead, a colossal shadow descended from the sky, plummeting fiercely into their midst.

"Boom!"

"Ah——"

Screams accompanied by a deafening crash as the ground collapsed under the Iron-Armed Ape King’s impact.

Within several dozen meters’ radius, species and lords were instantly smashed into pulp, blood soaking the ground.

The rest watched the sudden behemoth in horror, stunned to their very core.

"Run!!"

Someone shouted, snapping the lords awake, as they turned with their species to flee.

Where was that previous imposing momentum?

Originally, with so many people, if they could have been organized, they might still have been able to resist a little.

But at this moment, their morale was long gone, and they were in complete chaos. How could they withstand the terrifying power of the Iron-Armed Ape King?

In an instant.

The Iron-Armed Ape King caught up with them, its massive body rampaging through the ranks, slaughtering everywhere.

Whole rows of species were blown away, including many Lords, and unbelievably, none of them could withstand a single blow!

"Come back! All of you, come back to me!"

Chu Zhenyue shouted loudly from within the team, trying to reorganize the troops.

But unfortunately, their spirit was already in disarray. No matter how much he shouted, no one responded to his call.

Instead, it drew the attention of the Iron-Armed Ape King, its copper bell-like crimson eyes suddenly turning back.

"Damn it!"

Chu Zhenyue cursed softly, not daring to hesitate any longer, mounted his war horse, and fled.

However, in the next second, the sky above his head suddenly darkened as a massive figure descended from the skies.

Looking up, it was the Iron-Armed Ape King in pursuit!

Chu Zhenyue was terrified, immediately ordering the Tunnel Armor Guards beside him to raise their shields and form a defensive battle array, unfolding a massive light shield overhead.

"Boom!"

A loud crash sounded, and the light shield shattered on impact.

However, Chu Zhenyue used the burst from the collision to retreat violently, escaping the scene without looking back.

He failed to notice a dandelion gently landing on his back.

He ran desperately for about seven or eight minutes before finally evading the chase of the Iron-Armed Ape King, arriving alone at a dilapidated marketplace.

"Whoof—"

Chu Zhenyue gasped for breath, glancing behind him.

Seeing that the Iron Wall Ape King had not pursued, he finally let out a heavy sigh of relief and collapsed onto a nearby carriage, his expression turning extremely grim.

In this battle, their team suffered heavy losses, with an unknown number of Lords fallen.

Once he returned, he would undoubtedly be punished for his failure, a thought that filled him with rage, wishing he could skin Lin You alive and devour his flesh and blood.

"Lin! You!"

Chu Zhenyue spat out the words with murderous intent, his fists clenched so tightly they made a grating noise.

"Are you calling for me?"

At this moment, a response echoed.

Chu Zhenyue’s expression changed abruptly, and he immediately stood up to look toward the source of the voice.

But what greeted him were three icy gleams flashing past the back of his neck, nearly sealing off all his evasion paths.

It was Shadowless and its two Phantom Clones lurking nearby!

Chu Zhenyue was shocked, his body shuddering, causing the armor on him to burst forth with a defensive golden glow.

"Clang!"

A sound resonating enough to jangle eardrums rang out.

The attacks from Shadowless and its clones were all deflected, missing their mark.

He actually blocked it?

Lin You was incredibly astonished.

Just now, he had purposely made a sound to distract Chu Zhenyue, then let Shadowless sneak attack from behind—he hadn’t expected him to react in time.

This Chu Zhenyue is indeed not simple.

But he wouldn’t give up so easily. With a thought, he summoned all the species.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

Numerous vines suddenly shot out, surrounding Chu Zhenyue.

Meanwhile, Cyan Rattan’s vines spread outward, sealing off the entire marketplace.

"Hmph! You think this is enough to kill me?"

Chu Zhenyue snorted coldly, humanoid species of various forms appeared, severing the encroaching vines.

The blinding blade light continued its momentum, firing sharp qi blades that sliced the remaining vines into pieces, effortlessly fending off Lin You’s attack.

"Tier Nine Equipment?"

Lin You squinted, instantly recognizing the equipment worn by those species—more than four hundred species, each donned in a set of Tier Nine Equipment!

The racial talent of the Humanoid Species is to enhance the equipment’s effect.

The higher the Origin Space level, the greater the enhancement.

With Chu Zhenyue’s strength, he’s obviously achieved the full-tier enhancement of Tier Eight, no wonder he’s so confident.

The value of all this equipment combined is probably worth billions.

In that case, there’s no way he could hold back.

"Attack!"

With an order, Cyan Gang’s Barbaric Roar was unleashed, leading the team in a sudden charge towards Chu Zhenyue.

Wherever they went, the ground trembled, leaving wide cracks.

"Defense Battle Array!"

Chu Zhenyue swiftly retreated behind the species, letting two rows of Tunnel Armor Guards holding Tier Nine giant shields take the lead, directly activating a defensive light shield, blocking the Ancient Tree Legion’s path forward.

The light shield had just been used against the Iron-Armed Ape King, even barely holding against attacks from SSS-level Lord Demons as powerful as Tier Nine.

For regular Tier Eight Lords, breaking through in a short time was simply impossible.

As long as he could stall for time, other Lords from the Realm Alliance would soon arrive here, and then...

Thinking this, Chu Zhenyue couldn’t help but sneer, full of disdain as he looked at Lin You from afar.

However.

What he witnessed was a giant Cannibal Flower by Lin You’s side suddenly opening its blood-red maw composed of four flower petals.

"Devour!"

An utterly emotionless voice rang out.

From within that blood-red maw, a bizarre suction force suddenly emerged.

His defensive light shield, under that suction, began to rapidly dissipate, transforming into strands of golden energy flowing into it!
