Chapter 253: Chapter 252: Can’t Take It Anymore, Too Many Heads (Part 2)

A primitive, towering, ancient stronghold appeared in Qin Feng’s view.

In front of the stronghold, Ape Race guards were passed out in small groups, clutching jars of wine. Their weapons lay scattered around them as they sat cross-legged.

These powerful members of the Ape Race reeked of alcohol. Spiritual Qi surged around their bodies like thick Spiritual Serpents, cleansing their flesh and blood and tempering their muscles and bones. They all looked as if their strength was increasing dramatically.

The spiked Spirit Wine was starting to take effect!

A flash of black light, like a bolt of lightning, appeared at the side of the stronghold. The black-robed figure had originally intended to use the path in front of the stronghold to leave directly. However, when his peripheral vision caught sight of the powerful members of the Ape Race engrossed in the Refinement of the Spirit Wine’s effects, he hesitated.

’Should I kill a few of these stinking monkeys before I leave?’

A glint appeared in Qin Feng’s eyes. Each of these powerful members of the Ape Race was a ready-made elixir for the taking.

Qin Feng cautiously scanned his surroundings. The hidden sentries around the Cyan Forest Stronghold had also fallen silent for the most part.

He mulled it over for a moment, thinking to himself, ’I’ve already gravely offended these powerful apes. Might as well kill a few more to satisfy the urge. Every one I kill is a gain, and an opportunity like this is once in a millennium!’

Thinking of the Seven Star Dragon Spring Water, Qin Feng gritted his teeth. ’I’ll do it!’

With a flicker of his body, Qin Feng first swept through the area, checking on the hidden sentries to see if any were still conscious.

However, Qin Feng had still underestimated the Ape Race’s tolerance for the Spirit Wine.

Perhaps they never believed someone could infiltrate the heart of their territory, as the hidden sentries in the distant woods were, to a man, dead drunk.

The vast majority were using all their energy for the Refinement of the Spirit Wine, seeking to enhance their strength.

Grasping his Beiming Divine Water Sword, Qin Feng maintained a tranquil state of mind as he went from one hidden sentry to the next, cutting off their heads.

Like slicing carrots, over a dozen apes were eliminated by Qin Feng one by one in their drunken dreams, without leaving even a trace of blood in the air.

The White Lotus Mark in his palm absorbed the Essence Blood from over a dozen Cyan Wood Apes. The White Lotus became increasingly vibrant, but Qin Feng suppressed it, preventing it from blooming.

Dozens of breaths later, Qin Feng, dressed in black, emerged from the surrounding woods and silently crept toward the entrance.

Four powerful members of the Ape Race were guarding the entrance, but now, all four of them were passed out drunk on the ground.

Qin Feng tightened his grip on the Beiming Divine Water Sword and approached without a sound. His dark eyes were as deep as the starry sky, betraying not a single trace of killing intent.

Qin Feng knew that these Barbaric Beasts from the Ape Race had a Spiritual Sense that was extremely sensitive to killing intent. Even if they were dead drunk, an overly strong murderous aura could still startle them awake.

Only by keeping his mind peaceful—selfless, desireless, and without want—could he prevent them from sensing danger and kill them one by one.

With a flicker of his body, Qin Feng silently appeared behind one of the powerful apes. Grabbing its head, Qin Feng laid the blade of his Beiming Divine Water Sword against its neck. With a flick of the sword, its incomparably sharp edge easily severed the ape guard’s head from its body.

A White Lotus flew out, silently sprouting innumerable fine roots that sucked the powerful ape dry, leaving behind a withered corpse.

Qin Feng repeated the process, appearing softly behind the other three powerful apes and slitting the throats of the Cyan Wood Apes one by one.

The White Lotus’s fine roots pierced into them, and in the space of a single breath, the several First-level Barbarian Beasts were reduced to withered corpses.

The more Essence Blood it absorbed, the stronger the White Lotus’s absorption ability became. Previously, it took at least five breaths to drain a Barbaric Beast of its Essence Blood. Now, it only took a single breath to reduce a First-level Barbarian Beast to a withered husk.

After dealing with the four Cyan Wood Ape guards at the entrance, Qin Feng licked his dry lips and turned his gaze toward the interior of the Cyan Wood Mountain Stronghold.

Having gotten a taste of this sweet deal, Qin Feng had already abandoned his original plan of just taking a small advantage and leaving.

His expression flickered with indecision for a moment before he clenched his jaw and silently headed toward Cyan Wood Stronghold.

Qin Feng looked up, his gaze first landing on the few Cyan Wood Apes in the watchtower. With a nimble body, he relied purely on his physical strength to scale it.

In the watchtower, several Cyan Wood Apes sat cross-legged on the floor, focusing all their power on the Refinement of the Spirit Wine. They were completely oblivious to the world outside, utterly unaware that the Death God was approaching.

With practiced ease, Qin Feng beheaded the Cyan Wood Apes one by one with his sword. The White Lotus Mark flew out, and the apes perished pitifully, losing their lives in their drunken dreams.

After killing the Cyan Wood Apes, Qin Feng’s gaze fell upon other parts of the watchtower. With a flicker, he silently entered the gatehouse and slaughtered all the Cyan Wood Apes in the inner chambers.

A hundred breaths later, the dozen or so powerful Cyan Wood Apes in the watchtower had been completely wiped out.

Qin Feng descended from the watchtower, Longsword in hand, and in the next moment, fixed his sights on the various living quarters within the stronghold.

The benefits were so good, he just couldn’t stop!

The black-robed youth narrowed his eyes, dragging his Longsword as he moved like a phantom to the outside of the stronghold’s living quarters.

These quarters were where the powerful members of the Cyan Wood Ape clan resided. Hung outside were the dried carcasses of various ferocious Barbaric Beasts.

What made Qin Feng’s expression darken was that he even saw a few humanoid corpses, their internal organs hollowed out, that had been cured and preserved like dried meat.

’A bunch of hairy, savage beasts!’

Qin Feng forcibly suppressed the killing intent in his heart. Dragging his Beiming Divine Water Sword, he shot like a bolt of black lightning into one of the quarters. The room was extremely crude. A large, stinking Cyan Wood Ape was snoring loudly in its sleep, Spiritual Qi fluctuating around its body.

Piled in the room were seven or eight wine jars!

Clearly, it had drunk a great deal of the Spirit Wine.

The Spiritual Qi fluctuations from this large ape were very strong, a cut above the ordinary Ape Race warriors outside.

It wasn’t far from becoming a Second-level Barbaric Beast!

’Greedy, insatiable beast!’ A cold sneer touched the corner of Qin Feng’s mouth. He stepped forward, and a faint glint of his sword flashed across the great ape’s neck. In an instant, its Vitality was extinguished.

A White Lotus flew out. The next moment, the great ape’s Essence Blood was drained, and it shriveled into a withered corpse.

Qin Feng’s figure flickered as he stepped out of the quarters. He was about to rush to the next room, but he suddenly stopped.

’There are just too many of these Cyan Wood Apes,’ he thought. ’Killing them like this, I won’t be able to get that many in the end.’

As he pondered, Qin Feng’s gaze fell upon the Ten-thousand-year-old Jade Spirit Tree in the center of Cyan Wood Stronghold, and an incredibly audacious idea began to form in his mind.

’Yes, that’s it! The real prize is over there. I can’t lose the watermelon for a few sesame seeds!’

With a flicker of his body, Qin Feng silently crept toward the location of the Cyan Forest Banquet.

Qin Feng’s movements were exceptionally light.

Activating his Heavenly Snake Breath Technique, Qin Feng did his utmost to conceal his presence.

After several hundred paces, Qin Feng appeared a few hundred paces away from the Ten-thousand-year-old Jade Spirit Tree.

RUMBLE!

As he drew closer, Qin Feng could hear a group of powerful Ape Race warriors slumped over tables, their snores thunderous enough to shake the heavens. A thick stench of alcohol washed over him.

Just a faint whiff of a clear fragrance shot straight to his soul. His limbs felt weak, as if he were soaking in a hot spring. Qin Feng sucked in a sharp breath. The potent aroma of the wine was so strong that a single sniff from a distance was nearly enough to make him pass out drunk.

And this was despite his soul being exceptionally powerful.

He steadied his mind and quickly sealed all the pores of his body. With a grave expression, Qin Feng approached without a sound. He looked up, and over a dozen Ape Clan Kings with incredibly tyrannical auras appeared before him. Each of these Ape Clan Kings was like a Giant of the Ape Race. Their true forms were enormous, and they emanated a vast, oppressive might.

In the face of such might, Qin Feng felt as insignificant as an ant.

The Ape Clan Kings sat cross-legged on the ground, one after another. A rich, fragrant aroma of wine washed over them as their flesh, blood, and bones underwent a transformation.

Below them, dozens of smaller-sized Ape Race prodigies sat with their eyes closed, also in the process of Refinement of the Spirit Wine.

Each of these Ape Race prodigies possessed extremely powerful Innate talent. The auras surrounding their bodies were far beyond what ordinary apes could ever hope to match.

Clearly, these were the elite of the elite, the prodigies among prodigies!
