Peerless Bodyguard of a Stunning Beauty

Chapter 353: Chapter 315: Joyfully Obtaining Two Demon Crystals

When the surrounding crowd saw Zhao Rong suddenly thrust his sword toward his assistant’s stomach, they were all dumbfounded, covering their eyes in shock.

Miss Lili screamed, ”Brother Zhao Rong, what are you doing?! The assistant is one of us! Stabbing him like that will kill him!”

Xuelian also covered her eyes, saying in despair, ”I always thought the assistant might die one day, but I never imagined he would die by your sword, Brother Zhao Rong...”

Yu Lan even pulled a Buddhist sutra from her pocket and began praying for the assistant’s soul. ”Assistant, go in peace,” she said. ”Don’t overthink it. You’ll be reborn as a handsome man in your next life.”

When the surrounding primitives saw Zhao Rong stab his own companion, they immediately began to hiss and jeer.

”These modern people may be technologically advanced and have a high standard of living, but they’re cruel to the bone. Look at that young man, stabbing his own friend...”

”In this world, only we primitives are truly kind, pure, and innocent. These modern people may look clean and handsome, but their bloodthirsty nature and ugly souls will never change...”

”These modern people will wipe themselves out eventually, and then they’ll be replaced by us!”

Just as everyone was mocking Zhao Rong, looking down on him, and even insulting him, the enormous, powerful, and ferocious Ancient Forest Ape suddenly collapsed with a thunderous THUD.

When everyone saw the Ancient Forest Ape inexplicably fall to the ground, they all rushed over.

The leader of the primitives checked the ape’s nostrils and said in astonishment, ”No way... This Ancient Forest Ape is actually dead?”

A shorter primitive man checked its pulse. ”This ape has dominated the Rooster Mountain Tropical Rainforest for decades without a single defeat. How could it just die so mysteriously today?”

While everyone was still amazed, Zhao Rong patted the assistant’s shoulder and pried his eyes open. ”Assistant, what are you doing? You’re not dead. The Ancient Forest Ape behind you is.”

Suddenly, the assistant’s eyes shot open. He felt his stomach and looked down at his body, exclaiming with joyous relief, ”Brother Zhao Rong, you mean... you didn’t kill me?”

Sheathing his Dharma Sword, Zhao Rong smiled at the assistant. ”Why would I kill you? You’re my comrade, my teammate, and my assistant. I care about you too much; how could I possibly kill you?”

Seeing no wound on his stomach, the assistant said in amazement, ”But Brother Zhao Rong, you clearly stabbed me in the stomach with your Dharma Sword just now. Why am I not only alive, but don’t even have a scratch on me?”

Zhao Rong chuckled and explained, ”You don’t know, Assistant, but I just created a new martial technique. It’s a low-rank, Earth-level technique I call the Remote Punch Dharma Sword.”

Hearing the convoluted name, the assistant asked curiously, ”Brother Zhao Rong, that’s a strange technique you’ve created. Can you tell me how it works?”

Zhao Rong patiently explained, ”The so-called Remote Punch Dharma Sword, as the name implies, combines the Remote Punch with the Dharma Sword. When my Dharma Sword stabbed toward your belly, I actually angled the blade past your body and launched it behind you. At the same time, I struck your stomach with my fist. The Inch Force from my Remote Punch passed through your body and into the Dharma Sword. Thus, the sword was imbued with the power of the Remote Punch. It became invincible, able to slay any ghost or demon in its path.”

Listening to Zhao Rong’s explanation, realization dawned on the assistant. He immediately gave Zhao Rong a thumbs-up and said, ”Brother Zhao Rong, I think you’re the most incredible person in this world!”

After speaking, the assistant glanced thoughtfully at the dead Ancient Forest Ape and asked, ”But even if your Remote Punch Dharma Sword is that powerful, it couldn’t have killed this Ancient Forest Ape instantly. What move did you use? Tell me, I want to learn too!”

Zhao Rong pointed at a white spot on the Ancient Forest Ape’s chest. ”As the saying goes, ’To kill a snake, strike its vital point; to take down a wolf, aim for its hind leg.’ When dealing with an Ancient Forest Ape, you have to strike the white spot on its chest. Only then can you kill it with a single blow.”

When Lili, Yu Lan, and Xuelian, who were standing behind Zhao Rong, heard his explanation, they immediately rushed forward, hugging him and planting kisses on him. ”Brother Zhao Rong, we completely misunderstood you! We really thought you were going to kill the assistant...”

With his arms open wide to embrace the three women, Zhao Rong said with a smile, ”No matter how despicable I might seem, I would never kill a member of my own team. No matter what, I will always protect you, even if it means sacrificing my own life.”

When the three women heard Zhao Rong speak of such selfless sacrifice, they were deeply moved. ”Brother Zhao Rong, you’re not just a great hero in our eyes, you’re our savior! You’re simply amazing. I think any woman who spends a week with you would be unable to resist your charm. She’d fall deeply in love with you and always want to give herself to you...”

Hearing the three beauties’ words, Zhao Rong chuckled. ”Falling in love with me is certainly possible. But as for wanting to give yourself to me at any time... let’s forget about that. I need to maintain my virginity to cultivate the Heavenly Dragon Elephant Technique in the future.”

As Zhao Rong was speaking, the group of primitives surrounded him. They immediately fell to their knees and began to worship him. ”Young man from the modern world, we never expected... you are truly incredible! You not only killed the Ancient Forest Ape, but you also killed the Southern Ancient Ape!”

Hearing this, Zhao Rong asked the primitives, ”What do you mean? Didn’t I only kill one ape? Why are you talking about two?”

One of the primitives pointed into the forest nearby. ”There are two apes in this Primeval Forest of Rooster Mountain: an Ancient Forest Ape and a Southern Ancient Ape. They were a mated pair. They committed countless evil deeds in this forest, killing many people, destroying the trees, and ruining the environment. With a single move, you killed both of them in succession. You’ve truly earned our deepest respect!”

When Zhao Rong saw the other ape lying dead on the ground not far away, he said with an amused laugh, ”Well, what a happy accident. I only intended to kill the one Ancient Forest Ape. I never expected to take out a Southern Ancient Ape as well. How amusing.”

At that moment, the primitive leader who had mocked Zhao Rong earlier knelt on the ground and began to kowtow in apology. ”Grandfather, we primitives were blind and failed to recognize your greatness. We severely misjudged your abilities. Now, we apologize to you, and we will eat this dog crap on the ground!”

With that, the primitives began picking up dog droppings from the ground and eating them while continuing to apologize.

Zhao Rong helped them up, not only forgiving them but also comforting them. ”It’s alright, there’s no need to apologize. After all, you’re primitives and haven’t received a modern education, so I can understand why you mocked me. I only hope that in the future, you can be kind primitives, not savage ones.”

Hearing Zhao Rong’s words, the group of primitives immediately nodded and bowed. ”Grandfather Zhao Rong, we understand!”

Then, Zhao Rong walked over to the Ancient Forest Ape with his sword in hand. He brandished the blade with the fluidity of flowing water. He deftly and efficiently dissected the ape, removing a level 40 Demon Crystal from its body. The Demon Crystal in his hand sparkled brightly, pure and translucent. It was incredibly powerful and priceless.

Next, Zhao Rong took his greatsword over to the nearby Southern Ancient Ape. He approached the beast and, with his swift and precise Sword Technique, removed the Demon Crystal from its body in less than thirty seconds. To his delight, this ape’s crystal was also a level 40 Demon Crystal.

Holding two level 40 Demon Crystals at once, Zhao Rong was ecstatic. ”This is incredible! I now have two Dragon Crystals and two level 40 Demon Crystals! It looks like my path of refining medicine, saving people, and performing righteous deeds will only get smoother and go further from here on out.”

The three beautiful women stepped forward and congratulated him in unison, ”Congratulations on obtaining two Demon Crystals, Brother Zhao Rong!”

The assistant walked up and stared enviously at the two high-grade Demon Crystals in Zhao Rong’s hands. ”Brother Zhao Rong, if only I could own two high-grade Demon Crystals like you someday...”

As he spoke, he thought to himself:

If I had two high-grade Demon Crystals, I’d first get myself a pair of Piercing Eyes so I could see all the beautiful women in the world.

Just as the assistant was snickering to himself, Zhao Rong held out a Demon Crystal to him. ”Assistant, since you like Demon Crystals so much, you can have one.”

Seeing that Zhao Rong was actually giving him a level 40 Demon Crystal, the assistant excitedly knelt down, receiving it with both hands. ”Brother Zhao Rong, with this Demon Crystal, I can finally cultivate a pair of Piercing Eyes!”

The moment the words left his mouth, the assistant realized his mistake and quickly corrected himself, ”I mean, not Piercing Eyes, but a pair of Sharingan!”

Although the assistant had corrected himself, the three women had already heard his initial slip.

Lili looked at the Demon Crystal in the assistant’s hands in terror. ”If the assistant gets that Demon Crystal and cultivates a pair of Piercing Eyes, then won’t it be like we’re naked in front of him, whether we’re wearing clothes or not?”

Yu Lan also clutched her chest in fear. ”My assets... are for Brother Zhao Rong’s eyes only, not the assistant’s!”

Xuelian covered her shapely legs and declared, ”My beautiful legs are also for only one man in this world to see, and that’s Brother Zhao Rong! No one else can even think about looking!”

With that, the three women urged Zhao Rong to take back the Demon Crystal and not give it to the assistant.
