Tang Peng checked his forearm once more. His whole body was covered with sweat, and his body was glowing red. However, he did not feel hungry or thirsty. It seemed to have an effect of revitalising the body. He really has to thank Heng Tan for giving that meat for him to eat. The only problem was that his body was growing sore and was heating up too quickly.
He had already walked for at least 3 hours nonstop. Not only that, even though he had been carefully avoiding objects on the ground, some objects still scraped his soles.
When Peng Xiu had carried him to the Nine Step Sect, his straw shoes had fallen off mid-flight. Hence, he was in a predicament where he could not even avoid stepping on brown land mines on the ground.
After walking for a few more steps, Tang Peng finally have had enough. He dropped down on the ground, extremely exhausted. The area around him immediately turned into a puddle of sweat.
"Whew! To think that I have already walked so far!" Tang Peng's legs were already quite swollen, but due to the effect of Tang Peng's own soul, it had forcibly suppressed the effects. This created a situation which tempered Tang Peng's legs, making them stronger.
Tang Peng then suddenly had the urge to pee. He could not hold his bladder anymore, and just randomly peed on the ground. However, there seemed to be an unending stream of darkened pee pouring from his body. It kept flowing out and out, until it finally stopped.
Even though Tang Peng was was amazed at the amount of pee which he produced, his leg muscles felt significantly more refreshed after relieving himself. The impurities produced during his walk were all discarded.
Tang Peng could feel that his leg muscles seemed to have become more powerful. It was as if he could run for an unlimited amount of time! Of course, this was totally unrelated to the ability of rabbits which could run very fast.
Tang Peng took in a deep breath, and he suddenly moved at a high speed. The improvement to his previously weak legs were significant, as he did not feel tired after running forcefully like this for a short while.
Eventually, he still had to stop, as he reached a lush forest after running for 5 more minutes. However, he could feel that his destination was just after this forest.
As he entered the forest, he could feel many hostile eyes targeting and following him. When he turned to look at what was watching him, there was nothing there. Tang Peng tensed up. What was most fearsome was an enemy you could not fight against.
Tang Peng took out one Ninety Nine Heavenly Kicks and Porcupine's Reflection from his robe. He concealed them in his hand, preparing to paste them on himself at any time.
He cautiously swept through his surroundings with his eyes again. There was the blood red flowers growing all over the forest floor, the towering trees that made up the forest... and the shadow of the gigantic monkey which was dive bombing him!
Tang Peng did not hesitate, immediately slapping the talismans on his bare skin. Suddenly, his skin emitted sharp Qi, while Tang Peng's legs were enhanced with great strength.
This enabled him to swiftly the monkey's dive bomb. However, the tremor from the slam made him slightly wobble, even though he was already strengthened by the talismans. A crater had also formed around the impact site. The power of this monkey was not to be messed with!
While the monkey was still lying on the ground, Tang Peng used his legs and kicked with extreme strength. The kicks were so fast, there were after images left behind by these kicks.
Then, the uniqueness of the Heavenly Kicks activated. The afterimages themselves materialised into reality, dealing more damage to the monkey.
However, the monkey's physical prowess was more than enough to withstand Tang Peng's rapid kicks. It could not be killed with just a couple of powerful kicks.
The monkey started to stand up, which made Tang Peng retreat instantaneously out of the crater. After it stood up, the yellow fur on its body started to change colour, becoming orange. Not only that, spikes were coming out of its tail. It's size also started to increase to become larger. At this point, it was almost half the height of the super tall trees.
"Just my luck to encounter such a crazy powerful beast!" Tang Peng could not help but mutter under his breath. At this point, he should try to escape from the monkey!
Tang Peng activated another burst of speed through the power of the talisman. Even though it was meant to be utilised as an offensive talisman, it was adapted as a movement talisman to facilitate Tang Peng's escape.
Unfortunately, this did not work very well for Tang Peng. The speed of the tail created air currents, as it accurately hit onto Tang Peng's head. The Porcupine's Reflection Qi on Tang Peng finally activated, protecting the blast of Qi from reaching him.
At the same time, the talismans circulated the energy from the tail through its own Qi, before redirecting it at the monkey. The monkey let out a cry of pain as it was pierced by several bursts of Qi.
Tang Peng was excited. He did not know that this defensive talisman was so useful. It meant that he could fight back against this monkey which had tried to kill him.
He took out one of each talisman, and slapped them on him again, since the earlier talismans had ran out of steam. The desire to kill ballooned inside him as he rushed to the monkey's ankle, viciously assaulting it with his kicks.
Since Tang Peng was hitting the monkey's weak spot this time, the monkey was in even greater pain, causing it to release its ultimate move. A green flame ignited at the monkey's tail end, which was flung towards Tang Peng.
Tang Peng could see it coming, but he was confident that the Porcupine's Reflection Qi could deal with the fire effectively. He focused on kicking the ankle, which made the monkey reach the peak of its anger.
As the flame reached Tang Peng, some of it passed through the Porcupine's Reflection Qi, entering his body. Tang Peng's eyes widened as he felt the green flame attacked his soul directly, causing a mild pain.
Still, the green flame could only bow to Tang Peng's soul, as the darkness inside extinguished the flame, absorbing it as its own.
The monkey was at first delighted that the human had shown a reaction to its flame, but when the human started kicking again, its face turned sour. Why did its special technique not work against this human?
It remembered its past origin, where it stayed in this area, and lived as a happy monkey. However, it had seen a human drop from the sky, and ever since, its body had been growing stronger. It had also killed many humans which had swords and special powers which tried to kill it. Humans were bad people that wanted it to die.
Therefore, it had actively tried to kill as many humans which entered here. To think that it would fall to a lowly human using its own green flame, just like this...
The monkey's thought process stopped, as it dropped to the ground. Tang Peng moved back with the remaining power of the Ninety Nine Heavenly Kicks talisman. He had become thoroughly exhausted from battling this vicious enemy.
He was lucky that the flame could be redirected to his kicks. Otherwise, he did not know how long it would have took him to kill that monkey. Not only that, the talismans played a huge role in saving his life.
Resources were truly something one could not do without with in this cultivation world. Tang Peng patted the remaining talismans in his robes, before he moved on to his final destination.
From the burning remains of the monkey, a soul flame leapt out, holding the domineering aura of the monkey. It passed through Tang Peng's body, merging directly with his soul. Tang Peng did not notice anything abnormal, as he went to the mountain that would change his fate.
