The Human Race soldiers were caught entirely off guard by the Ape Race's sudden rebellion. Moreover, they were only Cultivators at the Second and Third Levels of Qi Cultivation. As mere overseers, they possessed virtually no combat prowess. Thus, under the onslaught of the ever-growing Ape-Demon Race, these twenty-odd Qi Cultivation Practitioners were quickly divided into six or seven isolated pockets.
During the chaotic battle, Cheng Zongyang saw a Human Race Cultivator rushing straight toward him. The man had clearly recognized Cheng Zongyang's status as the leader. Gripping a long spear, the enemy lunged at him.
Cheng Zongyang showed no fear. With a fierce parry of his Long Saber, he knocked the weapon aside.
At that exact moment, an Ape Demon suddenly appeared behind the human and brought a blade down on his back. The human let out a blood-curdling scream and collapsed to the ground.
The Ape Demon was none other than Cheng Zongyang's younger brother, Hu.
