Chapter 58

Xiaoming stood at the classroom door, took a deep breath, and firmly gripped the secret letter his mother had given him.

---

Completely on guard, this Monkey King relied solely on his strength, emitting no demonic aura. To cultivate his strength to the level of eight flying dragons, Ye Feng could not imagine what treasure the Monkey King had consumed to make his body impervious to blades and bullets.

The massive club whistled through the air, causing ripples in space. The air gradually compressed, forming a channel that landed on top of Ye Feng's head, smashing down with fury.

"Roar!" Ye Feng shouted, his body shooting up as seven flying dragons' strength erupted from within him.

His fist was covered in a layer of crystalline light. Ye Feng met violence with violence; his opponent's strength was formidable, but his was not weak.

"Bang!"

The sky seemed to split, the surrounding stone walls hummed, and cracks appeared on the ground. Even countless rocks slid down from the cliff, scaring the weak mud monkeys into hiding far away.

Ye Feng's body flipped backward, landing on the ground. This time, the Monkey King did not gain any advantage, his eyes filled with confusion as he looked at the human in front of him, seemingly disbelieving. He swung his massive club again, smashing down.

"Good beast, do you really think I can't deal with you?" Ye Feng was enraged, having been forced back several times, which had stirred his ferocity. His eyes flashed with a hint of crimson, and a bloodthirsty aura erupted from his body.

His ten fingers shot out, his movements accelerating, and he vanished from his original spot. The Monkey King's attacks quickly became ineffective; although his strength was great, his speed was not as fast as Ye Feng's. Suddenly, Ye Feng appeared behind the Monkey King.

"Shh!"

Ye Feng's nails scratched the Monkey King's body, making a hissing sound, as if scratching metal, emitting sparks. The Monkey King's body was even harder than ordinary weapons.

With the current purity of Ye Feng's nails, he could crush weapons with a single grab, or at least shatter them.

However, this claw strike, which carried at least ten thousand pounds of force, left the Monkey King unharmed, only leaving a few clear white marks with some blood threads, not injuring his internal organs.

Although the Monkey King was not injured, Ye Feng's claw still caused him pain, making him roar in anger. He turned around and swung his club at Ye Feng again. The Monkey King relied on his strength, but after several attacks, his power seemed to diminish, not as sharp as before.

Ye Feng quickly noticed that the Monkey King's strength was not as fierce as before and decided to engage in a prolonged battle. His nails continuously swept over the Monkey King's body, each time causing sparks and tearing off pieces of flesh, but still unable to break through his defense.

After dozens of rounds, the Monkey King was panting heavily, his strength greatly reduced, and his speed slowed down. Ye Feng had exhausted half of his strength, and suddenly, his strength surged, punching straight at the Monkey King.

Seeing Ye Feng's fist roaring toward him, the Monkey King's eyes flashed with panic. He did not dare to dodge, holding his massive club to intercept Ye Feng's punch.

"Bang!"

Another intense explosion, the cracks on the ground multiplied, and the falling rocks grew from the size of washbasins to water jars, hitting the deep valley below with a dull thud.

"Clang!"

The Monkey King's body was sent flying, drawing an arc in the air, clearly suffering significant damage.

Ye Feng's body shot up, and he punched again, this time hitting the Monkey King's chest, causing a mouthful of blood to spurt out.

"Huff, huff..."

The Monkey King lay on the ground, panting, his eyes filled with shock. He could not believe how difficult this human was to deal with, and more importantly, how his strength was even greater than his own.

Ye Feng did not go to kill the Monkey King. After all, he had invaded the Monkey King's territory. With the item in hand, Ye Feng planned to leave. Thinking of the Monkey King's powerful physique and immense strength, Ye Feng's eyes flickered, and he focused on the Monkey King's cave.

With a leap, Ye Feng crossed several large rocks and landed at the entrance of the Monkey King's cave.

The cave was not very deep, and the light was sufficient. Ye Feng quickly entered the spacious cave, discovering a fragrant aroma, even with a hint of alcohol, which he found intoxicating.

"What a strong alcohol aroma!"

Ye Feng was amazed. He saw hundreds of jars placed in the spacious cave, the alcohol aroma emanating from them.

He broke the seal with a slap, and the alcohol aroma surged out, carrying a rich fragrance. Ye Feng looked into the jar and saw it filled with green liquid, the source of the fragrance.

"Monkey Wine!"

Ye Feng was incredibly shocked! There were hundreds of jars of Monkey Wine here. He seemed to understand why the Monkey King's body was so powerful; it was all due to the Monkey Wine.

Picking up a jar, Ye Feng took a few sips. Although it was alcohol, it was not spicy and even had a sweet taste, flowing smoothly into his body.

Instantly, a ball of fire rose in Ye Feng's lower abdomen, igniting his entire body. The strong alcohol filled his body, as if countless cells were activated, beginning to vibrate rapidly.

The dead cells were instantly replaced with new muscle tissue, and Ye Feng's strength increased at an extremely fast rate.

After a dozen breaths, a layer of gray substance appeared on Ye Feng's skin. Using his true qi, he expelled it, and when he clenched his fist, the air crackled.

"Strong, just one sip of Monkey Wine, and my strength has increased significantly. If I consume all these hundreds of jars, I might even reach the strength of ten flying dragons!" Ye Feng's face showed excitement.

He began to loot, putting all the Monkey Wine into his storage ring, filling the entire space. The cave became empty.

There was still a faint alcohol aroma in the distance, and a large pool was placed deep in the cave. Ye Feng walked over.

The pool was about as tall as a person, about three meters long, and the fragrance was released from here. Ye Feng stood on tiptoe and looked inside.

"Damn!"

Ye Feng saw the scene in the pool and burst out in coarse language, his eyes flashing with greed.

"Too decadent, these mud monkeys are incredibly extravagant!" Ye Feng said in shock, looking at the thousands of spirit fruits placed in the pool, amazed by the mud monkeys' actions.

This large pool was used to brew Monkey Wine, and the main ingredient was spirit fruits. The collected spirit fruits were placed in the pool, fermented, and slowly rotted, gradually turning into green liquid until it was fully formed.

Ye Feng took out all the containers he had, filling them with the Monkey Wine, even using wooden buckets.

He filled over a hundred more jars, but unfortunately, he had no more containers. The large pool still had about half of the Monkey Wine, which he could only leave to the mud monkeys. Ye Feng felt a bit regretful and then laughed bitterly, realizing he was a bit greedy.

Since the valley was full of spirit fruits, in a few years, the mud monkeys would likely brew a large amount of Monkey Wine again. Ye Feng did not feel too guilty and turned to leave the cave.

The Monkey King lay on the ground, surrounded by many mud monkeys. Seeing Ye Feng emerge from his cave, his eyes flared with anger, but remembering Ye Feng's terrifying strength, he shrank back, hoping Ye Feng would leave quickly.

With a few leaps, Ye Feng soon appeared on the platform, tied the vine to his body, and after a moment, he reached the top of the cliff.

"Phew!"

Ye Feng exhaled, not expecting such a bountiful trip to Blackwind Mountain. Not only did he obtain the Heart Grass, but he also got a large amount of Monkey Wine. Just by consuming it, his body would grow significantly, and his strength would surely make a qualitative leap.

With everything gathered, Ye Feng had no reason to stay in Blackwind Mountain. Crossing several valleys, he entered a dense forest. As long as he crossed this forest, he could enter Yellow City.

"Clang, clang!" Just as Ye Feng entered the forest, the sound of weapons clashing came from ahead, indicating a battle.

Ye Feng did not want to meddle and planned to go around, but then thought there was no need to take a detour. He could just ignore the matter. With a leap, he found a large tree and hid.

Looking down, he saw about five or six teenagers facing off, holding weapons, their strength not very high, around the sixth or seventh level of the Later Heaven stage.

"Yun Qiu, you three are shameless, setting a trap to lure us two into it," a young girl shouted, her long sword pointing at the four boys in front of her.

"So what if we set a trap? Who made you disciples of the Ye family? I advise you to surrender and serve us well, and we might consider letting you live," Yun Qiu said with a lecherous look, his eyes roving over the girl's body.

The girl was only about sixteen or seventeen, already fully developed, not a beauty but still considered attractive in Yellow City. She stood next to a boy.

"Shameless!" the girl spat.

"More shameless things will happen soon!" Yun Qiu laughed lecherously, his voice filled with lust, and the three boys behind him laughed along.

"Lan'er, I'll hold them off, and you take the chance to escape. Once you return to the family, you'll be safe," the boy next to the girl said, gripping his long sword and turning to her.

"No, if we die, we die together. The Ye family has no cowards," the girl said firmly. These two were indeed disciples of the Ye family, out for training, but had been lured into a trap by the Yun family and were now surrounded.

"None of you will leave. Since we've trapped you here today, we never intended to let you go. Die obediently," Yun Qiu said coldly, clearly having planned this for a long time.

"Hmph, even if we die, we'll take a few with us!" The two Ye family disciples' eyes flashed with determination, planning to fight to the death.

"Wanting to die isn't that easy. We won't let you die until you've served us well. Kill the men, keep the women," Yun Qiu said with a lecherous look, his eyes fixed on the girl's chest.

"Shameless, despicable!" The girl could not find words to describe the men in front of her, only deep anger.

The six quickly engaged in battle. The two Ye family disciples attacked very quickly, trying to break through the encirclement.

"Roar!" Yun Qiu swung his saber at the Ye family boy, with another boy assisting, making it hard to dodge. If hit, he would be torn apart.

"Shh!"

At that moment, a beam of light flashed, and the saber made a clanging sound, being deflected.
