After traveling through time, I was raised by a little brat

Mu Huaisheng stared wide-eyed at the massive, over ten-foot-tall ape before him, a surge of heroism and a strong sense of mission welling up in his heart. The ape's hair stood on end like steel needles, its fangs bared from its bloody mouth, and it exuded a chilling aura.

But Mu Huaisheng was not afraid at all. He turned around and shouted to the secret guards behind him: "Today, we must work together to eliminate this evil for the people! Find out the culprit who turned those innocent villagers into the living dead!" Upon hearing this, the secret guards shouted in unison: "Yes!" The voices were neat and loud, echoing in Lijia Village.

At this moment, the ape also noticed the presence of Mu Huaisheng and the others. It opened its bloody mouth, roared, and then pounced on them without hesitation. Its movements were as swift as the wind, and its strong and powerful arms waved wildly in the air, bringing with them gusts of wind.

Seeing this, Mu Huaisheng swiftly stepped aside, easily avoiding the monkey's fierce attack. Then, he swung his sword, transforming it into a streak of cold light, piercing the monkey's abdomen. However, the monkey's reaction speed was beyond imagination. It quickly raised one arm and blocked Mu Huaisheng's sword. In an instant, there was a sound of metal clashing and sparks flew.

Mu Huaisheng felt a tremendous force like a tidal wave emanating from the sword, causing his entire arm to numb slightly. He couldn't help but be secretly shocked by the ape's formidable strength. However, he didn't retreat. Instead, he gritted his teeth and exerted force again, trying to break through the ape's defense.

At this crucial moment, the other secret guards, seeing Mu Huaisheng trapped in a dangerous situation, rushed forward without hesitation, reckless and fearless, like arrows from a bow. In an instant, there was a flash of cold light, the sound of swords clashing, and bursts of shouts of killing that resounded through the sky. They were instantly engaged in a thrilling, life-or-death struggle with the menacing group of apes...

While these apes were undoubtedly ferocious, Mu Huaisheng and his secret guards were no ordinary contenders. Their coordinated wits were unmatched, their swords wielding with unparalleled ferocity and dexterity gradually turned the tide of the fierce battle, gradually gaining the upper hand.

At that moment, the already ferocious monkey suddenly raised its head and let out a deafening roar. Its body swelled up like a balloon, its fur growing thicker and coarser at a visible speed. It turned its head, its eyes bloodshot, bared its teeth at Mu Huaisheng and the others, and pounced.

Seeing the monkey's ferocious behavior, Mu Huaisheng's heart skipped a beat, and he was instantly overwhelmed by a strong sense of tension. He knew very well that the monkey was about to use its hidden trick next.

It happened in a flash. Mu Huaisheng did not dare to delay at all. He quickly raised his voice and shouted to the secret guards beside him: "Brothers, please be vigilant! This hateful beast has gone completely crazy now!" His voice echoed in the air, with a hint of anxiety and worry.

After hearing Mu Huaisheng's warning, the already vigilant secret guards felt even more threatened, each one on high alert. Their eyes widened, their weapons tightly gripped, their concentration focused and careful response to the monkey's ferocious, overwhelming attack.

Once the ape fell into a frenzy, its attack power surged exponentially, like a volcanic eruption. Every time it lunged forward, it felt like a towering mountain collapsing, like a surging ocean wave sweeping over, possessing immense power capable of crushing everything in its path.

Faced with such a terrifying onslaught, Mu Huaisheng and his numerous secret guards felt a surge of pressure, almost overwhelming them. They dodged and dodged with all their might, but were constantly smothered by the monkey's fierce attacks, leaving them in a state of peril. The atmosphere was intense, a thrilling life-or-death struggle unfolding fiercely...

Seeing the situation take a turn for the worse, Mu Huaisheng thought to himself, "If I don't unleash my ultimate skill now, I'm afraid I'll die here today!" So, with a solemn expression, he took a deep breath, channeling his inner energy into his dantian, and began to fully mobilize his powerful internal energy. He gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands and slowly raised it until it pointed toward the sky.

Instantly, a powerful aura emanated from him, stirring the surrounding air with a turbulent agitation. Then, Mu Huai roared fiercely, pouring all his internal energy into the sword in his hand like a surging torrent. With a crisp "hum," a stream of incomparably sharp sword energy suddenly shot out from the tip of the sword, piercing the night sky like lightning, charging straight at the ferocious ape.

The monkey, swiftly charging at the group with its claws and fangs bared, suddenly sensed the immense threat posed by the sword energy and was horrified. It tried to duck, but the sword energy was incredibly fast, like a gust of wind and rain, reaching them in an instant. In a split second, the sword energy struck the monkey's head with a resounding thud.

Suffering such a crushing blow, the ape let out a shrill, agonizing cry. Its massive body stumbled in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, sending up a cloud of dust. Seeing this, Mu Huaisheng and the other secret guards finally relaxed their taut nerves a little, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

They cautiously stepped forward, approaching the fallen monkey and carefully examining its injuries. The monkey was breathing more than it was breathing, its life in danger. But its eyes remained wide open, gleaming with resentment and unwillingness, as if it was deeply unwilling to accept such a defeat.

As the monkey finally succumbed to its fierce battle, the guards, who had been lurking in the shadows, vanished like ghosts, as if they had never been there. Tang Qi, his expression grave, walked over quickly with Tang Wenshu, carefully examining the monkey, which had lost its dignity.

The crimson color in the monkey's eyes, once intense and blood-red, gradually faded, becoming increasingly lighter. Its muscles, previously bulging with anger and exertion, now deflated like a popped balloon, its entire body shrinking at a visible rate. Before long, the monkey, a formidable behemoth, shrank to a mere seven feet. It curled up on the ground, whimpering faintly from its lips, sounding like a pitiful, unaware creature that had just suffered a severe blow.

"Could it be that this monkey was raised on purpose?" Tang Qi stated the conclusion he had drawn from his observations while sizing up the ape. At this moment, Mu Huaisheng, who was standing nearby, took a healing pill and suddenly spoke as if he had remembered something: "I've heard that the White Lotus Sect has a mysterious holy object. It's said that it's more than several feet tall, and its body is extremely powerful and majestic. Could it be that... this monkey in front of us is the legendary holy object?" His words startled everyone present.
