Under the cover of the sea of ​​thunder and lightning, the slowly flying sword soon reached the front of the irritable Monkey King.

The Monkey King became even crazier after discovering that one of his white monkeys had died.

It didn't even notice the flying sword that suddenly appeared and hit its ribs.

With a loud bang, the Monkey King was knocked out with blood and flesh flying.

The Monkey King let out a shrill scream, and a big hole appeared on his ribs, with broken ribs vaguely visible.

At this time, the second white monkey was also hit by the "lightning strike technique" and fell to the ground.

If the fight continues like this, it is only a matter of time before the Monkey King and the White Monkey are killed.

The scream of the Monkey King caused the two surviving white monkeys to respond with shouts that were filled with determination.

Li Shiming was shocked, but it was too late. The two white monkeys in the early stage of foundation building exploded at the same time.

Li Shiming's Nine Palace Sword Formation can usually trap a mid-stage foundation building cultivator who does not understand the formation, but a mid-stage foundation building cultivator who understands the formation and can find the formation's nodes is not among them.

Because once you find the formation node, you can attack the node and break the formation.

The power of the self-detonation of the two white monkeys in the early stage of foundation building is enough to affect the nodes of the formation, and its destructive power is even as powerful as that of the middle stage of foundation building.

The Nine Palace Sword Formation was affected by the explosion, and two of its handles began to shake. It was this slight shake that destroyed the originally stable formation.

The Monkey King was severely injured, but he became prepared after hearing the white monkey's cry. Once the formation was broken, his figure turned into a white light and fled into the distance.

"We can't let it escape. Spirit beasts hold grudges!" Xu Chuan reminded quickly.

He was still brewing the second secret technique, but unfortunately he didn't have time to use it, otherwise the Monkey King would have died.

Li Shiming did not hesitate at all. Nine magic swords turned into sword lights and flew towards him. The nine swords merged into one and carried his body to form a sword light and chased after the Monkey King.

Xu Chuan needs to disperse the secret technique first, otherwise the terrifying spiritual power contained in his flying sword will prevent him from using the sword escape technique.

As he slowed down, a huge gap opened up between him and Li Shiming and the Monkey King.

The Monkey King is extremely agile, and speed is his greatest advantage. At this moment, he is trying to escape, so his speed is considered top-notch among those in the middle stage of foundation building.

That is, the sword escape used by Li Shiming, with the blessing of sword bones and sword intent, made his speed far exceed that of a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, so he was not completely left behind by the Monkey King.

But even so, after chasing for dozens of miles, the Monkey King's figure disappeared after turning a corner.

Li Shiming used his eyesight and spiritual power to the fullest, searching for the trace of the Monkey King.

"There!" The sword light flew towards a place where there seemed to be no passage.

This is the anomaly discovered by IBM z15, where an impossible breeze was generated, blowing the grass on the mountain.

This breeze could only have come from inside the mountain, and it was most likely caused by the air flow generated by the Monkey King's speed.

Sure enough, when he flew closer, he saw a cave between two rocks.

The entrance to the cave is extremely clever and can only be discovered when you get close to it. Otherwise, you will not be able to discover the entrance no matter from which angle you look at it.

If the entrance of the cave were covered up a little bit, like the lifted rock next to it, it would be difficult to find any trace at all.

The Monkey King was seriously injured and neglected to put the rock covering the cave entrance back to its original position.

Li Shiming looked back and did not see Xu Chuan. He did not wait any longer and entered the cave in a flash.

The Monkey King was seriously injured, and he had little strength left in the middle stage of foundation building. In addition, spirit beasts were not cultivators and had no means of preserving their lives, so seriously injured spirit beasts were easier to deal with than seriously injured cultivators.

It was pitch black in the cave, and his spiritual thoughts replaced his eyes, allowing him to see in the darkness.

Not far inside the cave, he smelled the aroma of wine.

"Monkey wine!" He thought of the books he had read about the monkeys' natural ability to make wine.

This is a similar method to the alchemy used by monks, except that the quality of the monkey wine is much different, and it is only inferior to the fine wine in the mortal world.

As for this group of monkeys, there is one monkey in the middle stage of foundation building and four monkeys in the early stage of foundation building. Therefore, the quality of this monkey wine can at least be effective for those in the middle stage of foundation building.

He quickened his pace and an empty cave appeared in front of him. The injured Monkey King was opening a rock and putting monkey wine into his mouth with his paw.

After seeing Li Shiming, the Monkey King let out a warning roar.

Li Shiming sensed the aroma of monkey wine. Just sniffing the aroma made the blood flow faster throughout his body, and his eyes were almost red.

He practiced two body-building exercises, the 'Vajra Body Protection Divine Art' and the 'Sword Demon Secret Book', which made his physique extremely strong.

After entering the foundation-building stage, even with the help of the Wrathful Vajra's true meaning and the third-grade sword foundation, his body refining speed was still extremely slow.

When he smelled the monkey wine, he felt that it was extremely important for his body training.

There is no uniform standard for the effects of monkey wine. The monkey has the ability to adjust the energy balance in the wine, but the raw materials cannot be guaranteed, so you can only use what raw materials are available.

The raw material for brewing monkey wine is spiritual fruit. The spiritual monkey can go deep into various hidden environments and use its familiarity with the environment to collect spiritual fruits that monks cannot find.

The monkey was not sure about the effects of these spiritual fruits, but he was able to use them to brew the best wine.

Li Shiming was afraid that the Monkey King would destroy the Monkey Wine, so he adopted the most risky fighting method to make the Monkey King misjudge.

He rushed directly towards the Monkey King without using any lightning spells or his best flying sword.

The Monkey King is intelligent, and his wisdom is not low.

It had seen Li Shiming's fighting style and knew what kind of fighting style Li Shiming was good at.

When it saw Li Shiming rushing towards it alone, it was confident that with its strength in the middle stage of foundation building, it could kill Li Shiming in close combat even if it was seriously injured.

This is the confidence of the spiritual beasts in their own racial talents. The physical fitness of spiritual beasts is far superior to that of humans. In addition, they have been consuming spiritual objects for many years, which makes them able to crush cultivators in terms of physique.

The Monkey King came towards Li Shiming. Li Shiming watched the Monkey King leave the Monkey Wine and his biggest worry was put to rest.

"Three meters, five meters, ten meters!" He calculated the distance between the Monkey King and Monkey Wine. After he thought he had reached a safe distance, he made contact with the Monkey King.

The melee swordsmanship of the 'Sword Demon Secret Book', coupled with a third-grade sword base, made him a melee swordsman.

The claws of the Monkey King came into contact with the third-grade sword base. Li Shiming took two steps back and the Monkey King's body also shook.

Li Shiming suffered a bit of a loss at the first contact, but the gap between the two sides was not so big that he couldn't cope with it, which made him feel more at ease.

"Cut, cut, cut!" He shouted, and the third-grade sword in his hand spread out at an extremely fast speed, with sword shadows emitted from his hand.

The Monkey King was seriously injured, which affected his flexibility a lot, and he wanted to end the battle quickly.

Its claws and legs transformed into four phantoms that continuously attacked Li Shiming.

Li Shiming seldom displays his melee combat ability, but it is not that he does not have this ability. The "Sword Demon Secret Book" is the strongest melee combat technique below the Golden Core stage.

The 'Sword Demon Secret Book' based on third-grade metal is used to unleash close-range and violent sword skills.

The sound of swords colliding with claws and the sound of swords cutting skin continued to be heard in the cave.

In addition to what Li Shiming saw, there were also constant prompts from IBMz15 in Li Shiming's field of vision. IBMz15 analyzed the Monkey King's movements and predicted the location of the next attack.

This made the battle easier for him. Every time after blocking the Monkey King's attack, he could also inflict another wound on the Monkey King's body.

The sharpness of the third-grade sword base, coupled with the infusion of spiritual power, makes its destructive power almost as great as that of the most advanced sword-type spiritual weapons.

If the Monkey King's close combat had not become his instinct and he had not dodged Li Shiming's fatal attacks many times, he would have fallen down by now.

However, the increasing injuries slowed down the Monkey King's movements. He thought of the monkey wine. Even if he died, he could not leave the monkey wine to the enemy.

It wants to return to the position of Monkey Wine and destroy it.

Li Shiming discovered this. He originally wanted to have a good fight with the Monkey King, but the Monkey King did not give him this opportunity.

After he struck with the sword, his consciousness moved slightly, and Nezha appeared beside the Monkey King.

The three-headed, six-armed Nezha starts grabbing people close to his body as soon as he appears. The most terrifying thing about Nezha is his four extra arms and his all-around vision.

The six arms are six corpse claws. Coupled with the iron corpse's defense and strength, Li Shiming cannot even defeat Nezha in close combat, let alone the Monkey King whose condition has deteriorated significantly at this time.

Li Shiming smiled and left the battlefield. The Monkey King knew what he was going to do and let out a crazy roar, but this did not affect his movements at all.

He came to the monkey wine, and just by squatting nearby and smelling the wine, he felt the blood surging in his body again.

His physical strength increased slightly due to the smell of alcohol.

"What a good stuff!" With shining eyes, he took out a wine jug and used his spiritual power to introduce monkey wine into the jug.

He had forgotten which monk he had killed and from whom he got this wine jug as a trophy. He usually didn't care about this kind of magical tools for daily use.

It was only when I saw the monkey wine that I remembered that there seemed to be such a wine jug.

The function of the wine jug is similar to that of a storage bag. It is a storage tool specially made for storing spirits. In addition to being able to store spirits, its function is to seal the spiritual energy inside and prevent it from leaking out.

This thing is just a mid-grade magic weapon. It is not valuable but extremely practical.

There was a lot of monkey wine. It took Li Shiming's spiritual power more than ten seconds to clear out the monkey wine below. Even the wine mud was dug out by him.

Although he has no intention of brewing wine at present, he may be able to brew wine by himself when he has the opportunity in the future. This grade of wine lees can greatly improve the quality of the spirit wine.

By the time he had filled the monkey wine and turned to look at the battlefield, the Monkey King could no longer scream. There were dozens of deep wounds on its body that could be seen to the bones, and it had no power to fight back.

Li Shiming shook his head, waved his hand, and a flash of sword ended the life of the Monkey King.

He was carrying the corpse of the Monkey King. The corpse of the spiritual beast was a good material. He and Xu Chuan had encountered the Monkey King together, so he needed to discuss with Xu Chuan how to deal with the corpse.

As for monkey wine, he discovered it alone, so he didn't mention it to Xu Chuan.

He originally had some spirit fish with him, but unfortunately, ever since he successfully built his foundation, the effect of the spirit fish on his body refinement was extremely weak, and the number of them was extremely small, so they had long been consumed.

His body training relied entirely on the self-improvement of his skills. Without any external help, it was no wonder that the improvement was extremely slow.

You should know that body refining has always been the most resource-consuming practice in the world of immortal cultivation. All cultivators understand the benefits of body refining, but the problem is that cultivators who can truly practice body refining are extremely rare.

Although there are few body-refining techniques, it is not difficult for the monks in the sect to exchange for a body-refining technique in the sect.

The main reason is that too many resources are needed for body refining, which makes most cultivators dare not practice it.

Take the two body-building exercises that Li Shiming practiced, for example. The 'Vajra Body Protection Exercise' requires a lot of spiritual medicines to practice, and also requires the blessing of Buddhism. In this regard, thanks to the spiritual fish and his means of skipping the requirements of Buddhism, he later realized the true meaning of the angry Vajra and transformed himself, so he didn't require much spiritual medicine.

The requirements for the 'Sword Demon Secret Book' are much higher than those for spiritual medicine. It requires third-grade metal, and third-grade metal is normally not accessible to Qi-refining cultivators.

Not to mention Qi-refining cultivators, even Foundation-building cultivators cannot obtain third-grade metals, which are the materials for making magical weapons.

When it came to the foundation-building stage, Li Shiming needed to consider the issue of resources for his two body-building techniques.

Without the corresponding resource assistance, the progress of body-refining exercises is too slow.

He had originally planned to consider this matter after entering a large sect, but he had never expected to obtain such a magical item as Monkey Wine.

Monkey wine is extremely important to him and he would never share it with others.

He flew out of the cave and looked around but didn't see Xu Chuan. He must have missed this place.

It was easy to contact Xu Chuan. He mobilized the thunder spiritual power from his physical strength and released it from his body. A thunder attribute aura from the early stage of foundation building spread out in all directions.

Since there are a group of spirit monkeys nearby, there will be no other spirit beasts. Spirit beasts have a strong sense of territory, so he doesn't have to worry about his aura attracting powerful spirit beasts.

"Brother Li!" Just as he was thinking, a figure approached quickly. It was Xu Chuan.

Xu Chuan looked at the Monkey King in Li Shiming's hand and couldn't help but feel guilty. They had assigned combat tasks before the battle.

Li Shiming dealt with the four white monkeys in the early stage of foundation building. He was responsible for the Monkey King, and Li Shiming also trapped the Monkey King, which allowed him to attack with all his strength.

That's how it was, he still let the Monkey King escape, and in the end it was still Li Shiming who got rid of the Monkey King.

This made him seem extremely useless in this battle. Even after he severely injured the Monkey King, he still felt this way.
