Chapter 27
Fourth Level of the Ape Demon King Kong Fist!
It was two weeks later.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
This morning, Su Jie used the Ape Demon King Kong Fist to the limit. His muscles and bones trembled and cracked as if they were fried beans. A new power rose in his body, exceeding his previous limit. There was an indescribable relaxed and comfortable feeling.
“My Ape Demon King Kong Fist… has broken through the peak of perfection!”
A smile appeared on Su Jie’s lips. He knew that he had successfully broken through the limit!
Name: Su Jie (Fourteen-years-old)
Remaining Lifespan: 47 Years
Soul imprints: 0
Mastery of Martial Arts: Ape Demon King Kong Fist (Compatibility: 73%. Cultivation Progress 1%, Fourth Level), Body Hardening Technique (Compatibility: 69%. Cultivation Progress: 10%, Third Level)
Su Jie opened the attribute panel and took a look. As expected, his Ape Demon King Kong Fist had broken through from the original 100% of the third level to the fourth level!
“My strength has increased by 100 pounds compared to my original. In other words, after reaching the fourth level of the Ape Demon King Kong Fist, every 1% increase in cultivation progress will increase my physical strength by 100 pounds?”
Su Jie clenched his fists and felt his improvement. His eyes flashed with surprise.
The third level of the Ape Demon King Kong Fist provided one with basic physical strength of 1,000 pounds in one arm. With every 1% increase in cultivation progress, the physical strength would increase by 10 pounds in each arm. Once one reached the perfected third level, one would have 2000 pounds of divine power in one arm. With this power, one could fight lions and tigers bare-handed.
After reaching the fourth level, the increase was ten times greater. When it reached perfection, it could increase one’s divine power by 10000 pounds!
A king of beasts like lions or tigers would be like a toy to him!
“Good! The Ape Demon King Kong Fist has broken through the original perfected state and reached the fourth level. I will have huge room for improvement!”
Su Jie was full of motivation. His original strength had stagnated. Now that he had broken through the bottleneck, he would be able to improve further! ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦
Su Jie’s days became a little peaceful. He would go to Heiye City every month and participate in the elimination of bandits as an Ape Demon. The rest of his time was spent cultivating the Ape Demon King Kong Fist and the Hard Body Technique in Qingshui Town.
With the large amount of gold and silver obtained from participating in the suppression of the bandits, he had enough cultivation resources to maintain rapid progress!
In the blink of an eye, months flew by. Su Jie had turned fifteen.
At noon that day, the sun hung high in the sky, radiating heat.
On the main road, a caravan of more than twenty people was advancing. Most of them were guards armed with swords.
Suddenly, a guard seemed to have discovered something. His expression changed and he shouted: “Be alert! Be alert! Be careful of an enemy attack!”
Amidst the shouts, figures in different clothes with black cloth strips tied around their shoulders rushed out from both sides of the road.
These people were all dressed in black and equipped with weapons. They exuded a ferocious aura. There were as many as fifty to sixty of them!
“Robbers! There are robbers!”
Immediately, everyone in the caravan knew that they had encountered bandits.
The bandits surrounded the caravan. The leader of the caravan calmed down, cupped his hands and negotiated: “Gentlemen, our Lian Family Chamber of Commerce has always been kind to others. Why don’t you make way? I’m willing to take out 300 taels of silver and invite everyone to tea!”
The leader of the caravan was clearly prepared to spend money to get out of this situation. He hoped that he could take out a sum of money as a toll and ask these bandits to let them off.
“300 taels? Are you trying to dismiss a beggar? Us Black Wolf Bastion has always been reasonable. You can leave but you have to throw down the goods and the banknotes and silver on you. Otherwise, prepare for your funeral!”
These bandits did not take the offer. They all looked smug. Among the bandits, a burly man who was bare-chested and suspected to be the leader sneered. He held a bright machete in his hand and directly threatened them.
“Black Wolf Bastion?” The expressions of everyone in the Lian Family’s caravan changed drastically.
The Black Wolf Bastion was a notorious bandit den that everyone within a radius of several hundred kilometers knew about. Their base was at the almost impenetrable Black Wolf Mountain. With one to two thousand members, anyone who encountered a Black Wolf Bastion bandit could choose to either give up their valuables and save their lives or lose both!
When these guards learned that the group of bandits in front of them were from the Black Wolf Bastion, fear appeared in their wide eyes. They were just guards who received a salary. How could they have the motivation to fight to the death against these vicious bandits?
The caravan leader gritted his teeth and tried to threaten the bandits: “Heiye City is just dozens of kilometers away. Aren’t you afraid of the Ape Demon of Heiye City?”
In the past six months, the extermination of the bandits in Heiye City has been fruitful. They killed more than 300 bandits. The raids caused fear in the hearts of the bandits, especially due to the involvement of the Ape Demon, who could fight 100 people at once. Every mission ended in a massacre of the bandits as a result. ƒ𝗿e𝘦𝚠𝗲𝚋n𝚘ν𝙚𝗹.𝑐o𝙢
The leader of the caravan used the name of Heiye City’s bandit extermination team and threatened them with the name of the Ape Demon. The burly man couldn’t help but laugh wildly before replying: “The bandit extermination team? They wiped out some wandering and scattered bands. They’re just third-rate trash. They are nothing compared to us! If this stupid Ape Demon dared to appear in front of me, I’ll definitely cut him into pieces!”
The rest of the bandits laughed wildly.
Black Wolf Bastion came from a large number of ferocious bandits gathering at and occupying the Black Wolf Mountain. The nearby officials did not dare to take the initiative to attack. If they could not take the bastion, not only would they suffer heavy losses but they would also have to suffer from the vengeance of the Black Wolf Bastion!
This made the bandits of the Black Wolf Bastion unscrupulous, ruthless and lawless.
“Really? That’s impressive. And what rate are you?”
The burly man and the others were laughing wildly but suddenly the burly man’s laughter stopped. In the crowd, a tall figure in black and an ape mask had appeared. He stared at the burly man with a faint chill in his eyes.
“Ape… Ape Demon!”
The burly man was shocked and could not help but take two steps back. He instantly recognized that this was the Ape Demon who had recently become famous in Heiye City!
Ape Demon was the trump card of Heiye City’s bandit extermination team. In just half a year, hundreds of bandits had died at his hands. His reputation was built on killing!
They were just talking about the Ape Demon and he really appeared?
Su Jie stood with his hands behind his back as he stared coldly as if he was staring at the dead.
The burly man was so shocked that he retreated. He felt a little embarrassed that he lost his composure in front of so many subordinates. He looked angry and roared with a ferocious expression: “You came at the right time. You stupid Ape Demon! You’re merely playing tricks. Now die!”
“Psst!”
The burly man roared ferociously. To be able to become a small commander in the Black Wolf Bastion, his martial arts was not weak. Without hesitation, he slashed out with his saber. His saber tore through the air and his saber’s aura was sharp. It could split a stone into two.
However, facing this sharp blade, Su Jie was unmoved. He casually reached out and grabbed the blade, making it difficult for the blade to move an inch further.
KING!
Su Jie twisted his fingers and wrist and the entire blade of the steel saber was twisted into a ball like a cow’s tongue.
The burly man’s eyes widened and he could not help but feel his hair stand. The Black Wolf Bastion also had experts with extraordinary martial arts. The burly man believed that even if the ape demon was a first-rate martial artist, it was impossible for him to withstand his saber without using a trace of internal strength with his bare hands and easily destroy the large saber made of steel.
The Ape Demon in front of him was as terrifying as the rumors said!
