Chapter 009: Severing Its Claws and Fangs

When Jian Mufeng mentioned these two words, he deliberately emphasized his tone and smiled slightly. Even the dullest of the thin monkeys understood what was going on, and his expression turned grim.

The slender monkey was cautious and careful, completely unaware that it was moving further and further away from the foot of the mountain

A true expert reveals their skill with a single move

In the midst of excruciating pain, the emaciated monkey, fully aware of the futility of escape, suddenly turned around and pulled out eighteen eerie command flags from its bosom. With a forceful throw, the flags scattered and embedded themselves into the ground, fluttering in the wind. In an instant, a chilling breeze swept through, and ominous skulls appeared on the flags, howling like ghosts, as if the restless souls and wild spirits within several miles were drawn to gather.

Ah!

For the first time, I discovered that this seemingly frail scholar, who appeared as if he would topple over with a mere gust of wind, was actually so imposing! Although he was empty-handed, he still instilled a sense of trepidation and unease.

Sun Tzu

"Young Master Mufeng, I believe this may be a misunderstanding." After swallowing hard, the usually cunning Thin Monkey made an effort to calm himself, forcing a smile, "My grandmother is over eighty years old and suddenly fell seriously ill today. I need to go into the mountains to gather some herbs. I didn't expect to run into you, Young Master, at such a fortunate moment."

Mu Feng chuckled coldly, casting a disdainful glance at mhetushu.com as he observed the clumsy performance of the thin monkey. He could see through the tension and fear in his heart at a glance. "The authority of the Mu family is not something anyone dares to profane, so rest assured. However, in the desolate mountains and wilderness, with not a single ghost in sight, who would know if you were killed? Even if one understands in their heart that it was I who did it, who could find any evidence?"

Now, at the critical moment of life and death, faced with the fierce attack of Mufeng, I have no choice but to grit my teeth and go all out

As I chased on, after turning a bend in the mountain, I suddenly realized that I had lost sight of Mufeng. Looking up, I saw that the surroundings were filled with bamboo as thick as a bowl, with rolling hills that seemed to stretch endlessly. Straining to listen, apart from the rustling of the bamboo forest and the whispering of the wind, I could hear no other sounds.

The lean monkey frantically stirred the spiritual energy within, attempting to set up a formation to trap the fierce Mu Feng, launching a desperate counterattack without regard for anything else

The slender monkey let out a startled cry, instinctively sidestepping just in time to narrowly avoid the astonishingly powerful mangosteen. In the next moment, just as it was about to make a desperate dash, a gust of wind rushed past from behind. Turning around, it saw a sharpened mangosteen had already arrived right behind it, mere inches away. The speed was so swift and the attack so concealed that there was simply no time to evade it

Interconnected and each move is lethal

Ah, I will fight you to the end

A piercing scream suddenly echoed from afar, startling a flock of birds.

Unable to deceive, the thin monkey quickly turned hostile, his voice sharp and severe, "Disrespecting me is equivalent to disrespecting the Second Young Master, and it is a desecration of the authority of the Mu residence! What, do you still wish to turn the tables, to experience the Elder of Punishment's tiger bone whip?"

After letting out a cry of pain, the thin monkey, disregarding the need to bandage his wound, clutched his injured left shoulder and fled in a panic. His mind was consumed by a single thought: to distance himself as far as possible from the ruthless Mu Feng. He wished he could dash out of the bamboo forest in one swift motion and hide within the Mu residence.

What do you want to do

Oh, how rare, he is indeed a great filial son

Seeing the inexplicable smile on Mufeng's face, the thin monkey felt an unaccountable sense of tension in his heart

Hoo, hoo, hoo

Mu Feng let out a cold smile, and suddenly a broadsword appeared in his hand. Instead of pursuing, he coldly slashed downward. With a sharp sound, a vine in front of him was severed. Following this, the thin monkey, who had not run far, suddenly discovered that a durian, as thick as a bowl, had sprung up from the dark ground ahead, hurtling towards him like a crossbow bolt, with astonishing force.

You are doomed, there is no escape!

Mu Feng, I am the only advisor by Young Master Mu Qingyuan's side. What exactly do you intend to do

Eighteen Yin Wind Order

Mu Feng nodded slightly, causing the thin monkey's heart to leap with joy as he saw the hope of leaving safely. After a pause, he suddenly changed his tone, "Your grandmother is over eighty, so your grandfather must be around eighty or ninety as well. Does he suffer from anything like a stroke or cerebral palsy? I have some herbs here; feel free to take them. It's not easy for someone your age to have a grandson like you. Do you have any last words you want me to convey? Just speak up!"

I initially thought it would be nothing more than a quarrel with Mufeng, at worst a fight. Unexpectedly, the other party has already harbored murderous intent, having touched upon his reverse scale

Mu Feng, who had been walking leisurely ahead just moments ago, seemed to vanish into thin air all at once

Having been by the side of the Second Young Master Mu Qingyuan for so many years, the thin monkey has long since become adept at this routine, which has proven effective time and again

Even a clay figurine has its temper. In the desolate mountains and wilderness, he was killed here, leaving not a single hair behind, with no evidence left whatsoever

You

The thin monkey was taken aback and immediately turned to run away

I thought I could get away with it, but unexpectedly, I had already been seen through by others

Mu Feng's expression was calm as he coldly stepped forward. Not far away, the thin monkey immediately felt a jolt in his heart and involuntarily took a step back. With another step forward, the latter instinctively retreated again. His face was pale as he hurriedly surveyed his surroundings, filled with fear and unease. It was as if the roles had reversed; Mu Feng was a powerful being at the mortal realm, while he was an ordinary person who could not cultivate.

What else can be done in the desolate mountains and wilderness

These eighteen command flags were obtained by him a few years ago after he followed Mu Qingyuan in reckless behavior and ambushed a wandering monk. Based on his years of experience, this is not an ordinary magical artifact; when summoned, it unleashes a terrifying wail, demonstrating immense power. Unfortunately, each use requires an astonishing amount of spiritual energy, and using it even once nearly leaves him exhausted for half a month, which is why he has always been reluctant to employ it lightly

Unfortunately, I encountered Mufeng today

In the heart of the thin monkey, a sudden jolt of instinct alerted him to a sense of danger. Just as he was about to turn and leave, a tall figure emerged from the dense bamboo forest, wearing an inexplicable smile. Who else could it be but Mu Feng?

The first trick is to deceive, the second trick is to cheat, and the third trick is to intimidate by borrowing authority!

Not good

Mu Feng swiftly grabbed a bundle of sharpened mangosteens from the ground, hoisting it onto his shoulder and darting out in a single leap. With each step he took, he would sharply draw out one and throw it, as fast as a shooting star

The sharpened mountain bamboo fiercely pierced through his left shoulder with tremendous force. The power was so great that even he, a formidable warrior at the early stage of the mortal realm, could only look on in despair. In a state of panic, he instantly lost all fighting spirit, nearly losing his very soul.

The relentless barrage of mangosteens left the frightened thin monkey terrified, glancing back at the approaching wind with a heart racing so fast it felt as if it might burst. Dodging left and right, after narrowly avoiding three mangosteens, a sharp pain shot through the right side of its rear, as a mangosteen pierced it diagonally from above, nearly pinning it to the ground.

There is a trap

"Sneaking into the mountain, can one still run out?"

Once Mu Feng made up his mind to take action, he laid down a deadly trap. Either he remained still, or once he moved, it would be a lethal strike that left the enemy no chance to catch their breath
