Chapter 1921 Red Cross Ape-Final

"Oh. So, this is a rather smart ape then?" Jin said as he now turned his Bam and Boo back into twin swords. But instead of killing it instantly, Boo had been transformed into a giant sword and Jin threw it on the floor, right underneath the Red Cross Ape.

The spectators who were watching this were going insane. Who in the right mind would give the monster a weapon? One of them wanted to shout at Jin but there was no way he could hear them from such a distance. Hong and the other soldiers shuddered at the thought when they realised what Jin had done and the possibility of him losing.

"What was he thinking?" was floating simultaneously in their minds as the Red Cross Ape obviously accepted the invitation and picked the sword up. Upon doing so, the monster\'s chi eluded furiously through its body and into the sword, causing it to burn bright with such vibrant energy.

Yet, Jin was standing with his own sword placed right behind his back in an upright decision. The Red Cross Ape now used its known techniques as well as the sword graciously bestowed by Jin but no matter how he did it, the barrier could not be cracked, his sword moves no matter how strong the slashes were, could not touch Jin.

It was as if the Demon Exorcist wanted to show the Red Cross Ape the difference between man and monster. How it could be inferior against the opponent that he was duelling against? It did not take long for the Red Cross Ape to understand that. With such a high cultivation grade, Jin had no doubt that the Ape had some intelligence of its own. There was no way it could have survived until now without wit and to be able to lead a small group of its own was a testament that he was knowledgeable in certain areas despite it still lacking compared to humans.

But as much as the Red Cross Ape did not wish to show defeat, Jin too had decided to entertain it once last time. It was apparent to Jin that the Ape was gathering as much chi as possible to do one big attack and Jin pulled his sword from his back and to the front.

There was no need for any more wasted time as this one last attack was all that was needed to show that Jin was not only proficient in dodging but to dominate the Red Cross Ape that even in the department of strength and raw power, he was no match for Jin too.

Even as the Red Cross Ape made his move the moment, he felt he had reached his peak, Jin did not move until the last very microsecond parrying it without moving his stance at all. Even as the chi exploded all around the barrier, burning and evaporating every single entity aside from the two of them, Jin was standing there without any scalding nor moving away from the heat.

To Hong and the others, they could see that he had manipulated his surroundings to the point where he was able to avoid all the chi heat transfer around him and made him look as if he was invincible. It gave the image that this particular Demon Exorcist was as nameless as he was, the mysterious vibe that he was not just some elite but an Elite of the Elite. The very top 1% that had graced their lands and saved them from this menace.

Now in retrospect, Hong could vaguely understand why this mysterious nameless Demon Exorcist had placed the trap formation in place. It was not because he was not able to control the monsters and wanted to wait for reinforcement, it was not because he wanted to keep all the monsters in the barrier so they would not be able to run away.

It was because he did not want the monsters to escape from him. Being trapped in this barrier was akin to being trapped in a corner. And even if this animal could bear its fangs, the hunter entrapping this monster was no pushover. In fact, he wanted the monster to show its true potential as if it were a test to see if it was worthy of survival.

And as unexplainable as the scene was to see Jin unharmed by the chi flames created by the Red Cross Ape, the scene was over as the monster as proud as it should have been for surviving this long, growing to such a high grade and possibly plundering and killing humans, it finally had reached the point where he had to serve his supposed punishment.

Right there and then, the Red Cross Ape dropped the weapon he \'borrowed\' from Jin and could finally see the futility of the situation. With his limited intelligence, he kneels and bowed in servitude just as his ex group members had done the same when they asked to join his group. To many, it was a sign that he had offered his head to the Demon Exorcist, looking for a quick death from such an expert.

But Jin was not granting him that luxury.

Instead, he was going to make him live and suffer this humiliation throughout his life. Waving in the air a little, letters made out of chi emerged from his fingers and they danced slowly to the ape\'s neck. It did not take long for the spectators to realise that Jin was making the Red Cross Ape as his pet, his slave, and his servant. Whatever they view it as, the Red Cross Ape now obeys this particular extremely skilled Demon Exorcist and everyone claps their hands as the trap formation dissipates and the monster walks obediently behind Jin.

Hong could not believe it as he and the other soldiers including his superior came out from their supposed battle positions and walked towards Jin. The Red Cross Ape looked defensive when they approached him but his appearance was lightened up the second Jin cleared his throat. There was no need for words and the soldiers were in shock.

"To be honest, I never thought to see a day where I see a competent Demon Exorcist. And to be able to witness someone as strong as you, it seems like the JODE society is not an entire sham at all." Chief Ding came out to thank Jin even though he did not know his name.

"Apparently, he likes alcohol and oranges and grapes. Could you take care of him until I get back?" Jin asked as he took out a wad of cash even though he knew that payment these days was digital.

"There is no way this amount would be sufficient…" Chief Ding would not know how to feed a Grade 12 Red Cross Ape much less to keep one on a leash.

"Oh, that\'s right. You do not know what kind of alcohol it likes. It might be picky…" From his storage watch, he took another few wads of cash and passed it to Chief Ding and the rest were also equally in shock. This Demon Exorcist was not only competent martially but financially as well?! What has the world become? Surely, Hong would understand what a martially competent cultivator would be worth but this kind of money is not something that people could just throw it out randomly to strangers and ask them to keep the Red Cross Ape fed.

"In return, this guy will take care of your defences for now. After all, the military has trouble keeping guard against random attacks, right?" Jin said and Hong as well as the other soldiers were a little speechless. Of course, if they have a freaking Grade 12 monster as a pet to help guard the borders, surely it would be a ride in the park.

Chief Ding also could not refuse after being offered this much cash as maintenance.

"Oh, and Chief Ding. Don\'t you dare the money spend on other things like your debts," Jin said and Chief Ding froze up instantly. He had no idea how he knew about his predicament but this put him in an even precarious situation.

Was this really just keeping the Red Cross Ape as a pet to guard the borders as previously intended or was it a threat against Chief Ding and his townsfolks that if he and the rest were to do something stupid, this particular monster could wipe them off the surface of this Earth and into the afterlife.

"…Yes. Understood. Benefactor." Since he was not able to get his name, Chief Ding responded as respectfully as possible.

"Huh, Benefactor. That sounds rather nice." Jin smirked and waved at him as well as the rest of the onlookers at Liu Ah Liu Hotel. "But even though I said that not to spend on other things, use that money wisely to keep your people fed too. That is the least amount of responsibility for a Village Chief needs to do, right?"

"Yes. Benefactor. I thanked the town on your behalf and will proceed to feed your Red Cross Ape and the townsfolk too." Chief Ding bowed to thank Jin but when he looked up, the Demon Exorcist had disappeared. Even Hong and the rest who were around him did not notice how he had vanished.

"Truly an elite that should not be trifled with."
