The School Beauty’s Super Rogue

Chapter 1273 - 1268: Xinmu Surrounded

This valley is located on the northwest side of the forest.

The valley entrance is not large, just enough to accommodate a carriage, surrounded by steep cliffs and jagged rocks.

In the center of the valley, green trees and red flowers, lush grass, the scenery is breathtaking.

In addition, deep within the valley, there is a dense peach grove.

It is currently the season for peaches to bloom, with every peach tree full of red peaches.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

Around the peach grove, many hairy wild monkeys were frolicking and playing.

At this moment, a group of uninvited guests barged in.

Leading the group was a tall man.

His clothes were completely soaked in sweat, and his face was full of exhaustion.

"Squeak squeak squeak squeak!"

With the man’s appearance, some wild monkeys climbed up the trees to hide, some picked up stones vigilantly, and a few cunning beasts bared their teeth, holding weapons resembling long spears.

The man, upon seeing this scene, stood stunned, full of despair: "Damn it, didn’t expect that after escaping the chase, I’d end up in this deadly place swarming with wild monkeys..."

As soon as he finished speaking, rustling footsteps sounded from behind him.

Once everything stopped, a group of more than twenty people stood behind him, each holding weapons, looking fierce.

Leading them was a pale-faced man with narrow eyes.

He coldly shouted, "Xinmu, if you want to live, hand over the treasure quietly. Otherwise, even with ten lives, you won’t survive today."

"Duanmu Sa! You are such a bastard!"

Xinmu’s face showed anger, unable to remain calm.

Just before, he was mixing with Senior Brother Guan Bai, but then Duanmu Sa came with his team.

The two groups formed an alliance and entered a certain dangerous cave together.

In that cave, they discovered many bats and beasts. After a fierce battle, many people were injured or killed, but the gains were substantial.

Xinmu was lucky; he inadvertently found a piece of Thousand-year Cold Iron.

This Cold Iron is specially used for making weapons; integrating just a gram into ordinary iron can transform a weapon.

And Xinmu obtained a whole piece weighing two or three pounds, which made the group envious, thus starting the ambush.

In the ambush, Guan Bai and others were killed. Xinmu wanted to fight back, but under Guan Bai’s dying advice, he fled the cave.

Later, as they chased each other, they arrived at this place.

Now, Xinmu had not escaped, on the contrary, he’d entered a perilous place, unable to avenge the great hatred, and could only watch helplessly as the Cold Iron was taken.

His heart was filled with overwhelming anger.

"Xinmu, at this point, what use is there in saying these things? Greed leads to wrongdoing; blame yourself for not having the ability to guard the Cold Iron!"

Duanmu Sa said proudly, gesturing with his hand to signal his men to get ready to act.

While Xinmu and Duanmu Sa were confronting each other, three heads peeked out from the edge of the cliff in the distance.

Ah Sang looked puzzled, "Why are there so many people in Spiritual Monkey Valley? This isn’t good; a chaotic fight might draw out the Monkey King, which would affect our plan to steal the peaches!"

In the past three days, Ah Sang, as the forest "guide," had led two people to plunder numerous treasures.

This Spiritual Monkey Valley produced delicious Immortal Peaches, and the monkeys here were intelligent, knowing how to make Monkey Wine themselves.

Qin Hao was addicted to alcohol; upon accidentally hearing about this, he naturally wanted to give it a try.

So, the three of them came to steal wine, but unexpectedly, this scene unfolded before anything began.

"Ah Sang, that big guy being surrounded is actually my friend." Qin Hao pointed at Xinmu and introduced.

"Friend?" Ah Sang was a bit puzzled.

Vini Jones pursed her lips, "Isn’t that big guy supposed to be tough? How did he end up being beaten like that?"

"Alright, Little Wen Ni, Little Mumu can’t hear you, so stop bickering!"

Qin Hao laughed, trying to mediate.

"Hmph! Originally, that big guy and I entered the forest together. But he was eager to join those senior brothers and didn’t want to follow me to find you, so we got separated. Now he’s in this situation, that’s his own making!" Vini Jones said, relentlessly.

"Alright, just forgive him..."

Qin Hao said with a smile, but his eyes were fixed on Duanmu Sa and his men, thinking unknown thoughts.

In the midst of the conversation, the battle in the field began.

After Duanmu Sa’s men attacked, Xinmu let out a long howl, threw the Cold Iron in his hand towards the monkey group, and then entangled himself with the crowd.

Duanmu Sa had long coveted that piece of Cold Iron, not caring about Xinmu, focusing on seizing the Cold Iron.

However, just as he got close, a sharp pain hit his forehead, and a stone fell to the ground, thrown by a monkey!

"You little bastard!" Duanmu Sa was furious, pointing at a wild monkey and cursing.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

That wild monkey chattered, prompting the monkeys in the trees to rain stones down like the Celestial Maiden Scattering Flowers.

"Damn!"

Duanmu Sa cursed and, after dodging far away, shouted, "Brothers, kill this group of monkeys for me!"

With this command, all the men charged into the monkey group.

Although these monkeys were wild, they were not afraid of despicable humans and rushed forward, starting a battle between the humans and the monkeys.

Benefiting from this battle, the pressure on Xinmu lessened significantly. He waved his hands, repulsed two people before him, and strode backward to escape.

He hadn’t run far when he suddenly realized: How can I run like this without avenging Senior Brother Guan Bai? And wasting such an important treasure like Cold Iron isn’t right!

Thinking of this, Xinmu let out a roar and rushed back to the battlefield. Spotting Duanmu Sa, he charged angrily: "Despicable scoundrel, die!"

Duanmu Sa was initially fighting a wild monkey wielding a spear-like weapon when Xinmu’s shout startled him.

Instantly, a spear cut across his chest, leaving a bloody mark. In pain, he cursed and forcefully pushed the wild monkey away, glaring angrily at Xinmu: "You barbarian, I will kill you!"

With that, he struck a palm strike, incredibly fast, like flowing clouds landing.

Bang!

The palm strike was so swift that Xinmu didn’t have time to block and got hit.

"Pfft!" He spat out blood and stabilized after retreating five steps.

"Useless!" Duanmu Sa cursed, and from behind came a noise. Twisting his waist, a spear tip brushed past his waist.

"You’re actually working together?"

Duanmu Sa turned his head and saw that the spear came from that monkey.

This monkey had sharp ears and a pointed snout, with two tufts of white hair on its head, different from the others.

Strangely enough, the cultivation technique these monkeys used was quite formidable, making Duanmu Sa think he was fighting humans.

He found it strange but didn’t take it to heart.
