Chapter 1277 - 1272: Tell Me Where Qin Hao Is
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
The Monkey King placed the eighth jug of wine on the ground, stretched out his long hand to grasp Qin Hao’s back, and surprisingly climbed up like this.
Both drinking together now, they were full of spirits, not like man and beast, but rather like a pair of brothers.
Qin Hao embraced the Monkey King’s arm, mumbling, "Brother Monkey! I, Qin Hao, don’t know what kind of fortune hit me, to have the privilege to drink with you!"
"Squeak squeak!"
The Monkey King excitedly waved his fist, slipped off Qin Hao’s back, and staggered with the movements of a drunken monkey.
"Brother Monkey, I heard your Monkey Race is naturally skilled at Drunken Fist, do you want to give it a try?"
Qin Hao mumbled, face full of alcohol scent.
"Squeak squeak!" The Monkey King let out a few calls, started swaying left and right, fists moving, actually showing off his Drunken Fist.
"Haha! Brother Monkey, your fist technique is unmatched in the world. If that elephant brat encountered you, he’d probably be knocked out!"
Qin Hao staggered to stable himself, thumbs up to the Monkey King.
"Squeak squeak!"
The Monkey King joyfully patted his chest, hooked arms with Qin Hao and walked outside, pointing and gesturing.
"Brother Monkey, are you taking me to survey your territory?"
Qin Hao, drunk, burped and said.
"Squeak squeak!"
The Monkey King patted his chest, indicating that’s exactly the case.
"Oh no!"
Qin Hao’s face slightly changed as he remembered the battle in the valley earlier and urgently said, "Brother Monkey, something bad happened. A group of bandits just broke into the valley, and it seems they’re up to no good against your monkey kin..."
Upon hearing this, "Squeak!" The Monkey King let out a sharp call, all traces of intoxication disappeared, and his monkey face showed two fierce, visible signs of authority.
He forcefully patted Qin Hao’s shoulder, making it crack loudly.
Qin Hao knew it was time to show loyalty, nodded and said, "Brother Monkey, don’t worry. Those people are my enemies too, I will help you eliminate them!"
"Squeak!" The Monkey King cried out, and the two began walking towards the cave entrance.
...
The ground was a scene of chaos.
Blood and leaves scattered everywhere, and further away, there were some rotten peaches.
Amidst the chaos, the monkey group was tied up with ropes, forcibly pressed to the ground.
Among the monkey group, there was a special presence, that was the tall Xinmu.
He was thoroughly bound with ropes, with a white cloth stuffed in his mouth.
As a captive, Xinmu truly felt worse than death.
Originally, he was prepared to fight to the death. However, Duanmu Sa didn’t kill him outright but merely had him tied up with the monkeys.
For this, Xinmu was humiliated and nearly fainted with anger.
Now, he stared angrily with fiery eyes at Duanmu Sa before him.
Beside Duanmu Sa, many of the loose cultivators weren’t in great shape, with some even injured.
However, not many were seriously wounded.
A loose cultivator named Huang Li wiped the blood off his forehead, cursing, "Boss Duanmu, why leave these beasts alive? They made us brothers suffer!"
"Haha, you don’t understand, do you?" Duanmu Sa arrogantly touched his cheek, somewhat proudly stating, "Years ago, I learned the Beast Taming Skill. These monkeys raised in the forest are natural scouts, capturing them alive is far more useful than killing them..."
Upon hearing this, Huang Li’s face showed surprise and he happily said, "Boss means you’re planning to tame these wild monkeys, and use them as pets to find rare treasures for us?!"
"Exactly."
Duanmu Sa proudly held his head high, eliciting flattery from his subordinates.
Soon enough, Huang Li pointed at Xinmu and asked, "Leaving the monkeys behind is fine, but why keep this damn hillbilly, Brother Duanmu?"
Saying this, his expression paused, and he exclaimed in shock, "Could Boss Duanmu be aiming for a bigger fish?"
"Exactly." Duanmu Sa laughed again, brimming with confidence, "No need to guess the deep connection between Xinmu and Qin Hao. I’ve heard that Qin Hao obtained many treasures. We just need to seize Xinmu, use him as leverage, aren’t we capable of robbing them?"
"So that’s it!"
The others suddenly saw the light, staring at Duanmu Sa with admiration and fear.
Qin Hao’s ferocious reputation had already spread through the forest, yet Duanmu Sa dared to provoke him. His courage and guts were indeed extraordinary.
"Boss, I don’t mind dealing with Qin Hao, but we can’t even find a trace of him..."
Huang Li hesitantly said.
Duanmu Sa interrupted, "It’s simple, we’ll just torture this big fool."
With that, he pulled out the rag from Xinmu’s mouth, smiling: "Tell us where Qin Hao is, and you won’t suffer."
"You bastard! Kill me if you have the guts!"
Xinmu had been holding his anger for a long time, bursting out with curses.
"Haha, still with the dirty mouth!"
Duanmu Sa’s smile was hiding a dagger, as he kicked Xinmu in the stomach.
"Ugh!"
Xinmu felt as though his internal organs were about to shatter, painfully spewing bitter water onto the ground.
"Now, tell me Qin Hao’s location, otherwise, you’ll suffer even more."
Duanmu Sa pressed his foot on Xinmu’s shoulder, smugly said.
"I... even if I die... won’t tell you, you damn scoundrel!"
Xinmu gritted his teeth, desperately squeezing out the words from his throat.
"Haha, so stubborn, enjoy the suffering!"
Duanmu Sa said thus, giving another kick to Xinmu’s ribs.
"Ah!" Xinmu screamed in pain, curling on the ground like a shrimp.
"Haha, Xinmu! I know you’re a man of honor, but you have to think about yourself!"
After the beating, Duanmu Sa patted Xinmu’s face, speaking from a superior position: "I know you’re worrying about Qin Hao. But, how has that brat treated you? You’ve been driven to this point, and he hasn’t shown up. It’s clear that brat doesn’t care about you, why protect him?"
"Shut up..."
Xinmu’s face showed pain, but his voice was full of anger: "How can you, trash, compare with Qin Hao? Even with all of you together... you probably couldn’t defeat him..."
"Haha..."
Duanmu Sa laughed.
Beside him, Huang Li and other loose cultivators also laughed loudly.
"Idiot! What bullshit are you spouting!"
"To you, Qin Hao is a dragon; to us, just a lucky worm!"
"Bullying civilians in Beijing, thinking himself impressive? Just trash! It’s only you who thinks highly of Qin Hao!"
Various mockeries assailed, making Xinmu’s face turn livid with anger.
Yet, he had no way to retort.
After all, winner takes all, now he was just meat on the chopping block without any right to fight back.
"Hahaha! Let me tell you! If Qin Hao dares appear in front of me, I would definitely beat him to his knees begging for mercy..."
To provoke Xinmu further, Duanmu Sa flaunted by stepping on his face, "Now, tell me where that brat is, or I’ll crush your head!"
