Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System-Chapter 37: The Defeat of Six-Eared Macaque, The Appearance of the Black Shadow
Chapter 37: Chapter 37: The Defeat of Six-Eared Macaque, The Appearance of the Black Shadow
Sun Wukong and the Six-Eared Macaque were fighting and shouting at each other, neither willing to submit to the other.
Boom!
Their divine weapons collided once again, sending a violent momentum sweeping across the place. Ice Fire Island was on the brink of collapse, terrifying countless little demons that were shivering and hiding.
After pondering for a moment, Sun Wukong’s gaze finally fell upon the valley below, where a mountainous pile of weapons was accumulating.
"Heh heh, found it!"
The Six-Eared Macaque stayed here not to determine a winner or loser in a fight to the death with him, but because it couldn’t bear to part with the treasured weapons it had painstakingly stolen or borrowed!
That’s why, when Wukong first arrived on the island, he saw the little demons continuously transporting weapons into the valley.
With this in mind, Sun Wukong immediately shouted, "Brother Ox, go move those weapons away."
"Brother Ox..." the Six-Eared Macaque also shouted, but it couldn’t finish what it was saying.
The flaw appeared, and the true from the false immediately became clear.
"Hahaha!" Sun Wukong laughed heartily as he withdrew from the fight.
"Well done, Wukong. This thief is bound to lose!" Demon King Ox praised.
He, along with Demon King Jiao and the other six kings, had been surrounding the area from a distance, and of course, they wouldn’t miss this good opportunity. They immediately encircled the Six-Eared Macaque.
"Overestimating yourself, you think you can capture me with just the likes of you?" the Six-Eared Macaque stood firm with its staff, its face full of scorn.
Ox Demon King and the others knew that it was on an equal footing with Sun Wukong, indeed possessing the arrogance to back it up, so they did not underestimate it and all attacked with their full strength.
"Arrogance!" But Ox Demon King didn’t show weakness in his words as his mixed iron staff swung into action, engaging in a fierce battle with the Six-Eared.
He was also a Daluo Golden Immortal, so of course, his strength was not lacking.
Last time when he clashed with Sun Wukong, he was aiming to save Demon King Jiao and to calm the battle, so he did not show the full strength of a Daluo.
Now that he and Sun Wukong had become brothers, wanting to let loose and fight, there was certainly no chance.
Therefore, this time he was determined to have a good fight with this false Monkey King, to prove his own strength.
At the same time, Demon Kings Jiao, Peng, Lion Camel, Macaque, and Yu Tu also demonstrated their Divine Skills.
The six kings battled the fake Monkey King!
For a moment, within thousands of miles around Ice Fire Island, the sky surged with wind and clouds, and thunder and lightning flashed, as if heralding the end of the world.
Sun Wukong, of course, was not idle. To avoid confusion between the real and the fake again, he didn’t engage in close combat but instead exhibited his Divine Skills from afar.
One could see that his Ruyi Divine Weapon transformed at will in his hands, becoming a black and gold Ruyi Divine Bow with Ruyi Divine Arrows.
Besides mastering the staff technique, he also comprehended the arrow technique; at this moment, it came in handy.
Moreover, he was proficient in the Heart Arrow Technique. This was taught by a woodcutter on Magic Square Mountain, whose true identity was Da Yi, the foremost divine archer of primordial times.
"That deceptive, swaggering impostor, take this arrow from old Sun!" Sun Wukong, from a distance, shouted loudly, immediately drawing the bow and releasing the arrow, without aiming.
Because where the heart wills, the arrow goes!
Whoosh!
The Ruyi Divine Arrow tore through the air, breaking through layers of dense fog, over wild winds and waves, and amidst thunder and lightning as if it had eyes, heading straight for the Six-Eared Macaque amidst the chaotic battle.
"A sneak attack does not make a true hero!" the Six-Eared Macaque bellowed in anger. It was temporarily in a stalemate with Ox Demon King and the others, believing that it would not take long before it could overwhelm these six Demon Kings.
But Sun Wukong’s arrow was extremely tricky, forcing it to divide its attention to deal, aware of the power of the Heart Arrow Technique.
"Change!" It shimmered, transforming into thousands of little monkeys, some entangling with the six kings, others deliberately rushing forward to meet the Ruyi Divine Arrow and die.
In the end, when the arrow was upon it, it swung its staff to meet the attack and was able to block the arrow.
But this distraction caused it to fall into a disadvantageous position within the encirclement of the six kings—it got heavily struck by Ox Demon King with a staff and pierced through the heart with a sword by Demon King Jiao.
The situation thus changed.
Subsequently, under the collaboration of Sun Wukong’s distant attacks and the six kings’ close combat, the Six-Eared found it increasingly difficult to hold on, and the wounds on its body began to multiply.
This puzzled Demon King Ox and the others: why wasn’t it fleeing?
Of course, it was better it didn’t flee. In just a short while, they would be able to subdue the Six-Eared.
Huff...
But the next moment, on the ever-misty expanse of North Ming, a fierce wind suddenly rose, and a strong momentum coupled with a fearsome pressure rapidly approached from the distance.
Far surpassing a Daluo Golden Immortal!
"He’s finally here!" the Six-Eared Macaque exclaimed in delight.
Bull Demon King and others immediately realized: this rascal was stalling for time!
"Heh heh, so there really is a rescue team!" Sun Wukong sneered. He knew that the Six-Eared Macaque’s lingering here, besides being reluctant to part with the weapon, was also because he had something up his sleeve.
With that thought, he turned into a beam of golden light and dashed towards the valley deep on Ice-Fire Island.
"How dare you!" the Six-Eared Macaque panicked and tried to follow, but was held back by the Bull Demon King and the Jiao Demon King among others.
"Why wouldn’t I dare?" Wukong went straight to the valley, his Ruyi Divine Weapon already transformed into a huge sack, stuffing all the treasure weapons accumulated into it.
The Ruyi sack quickly swelled to the size of a mountain, requiring to be carried away on his shoulders.
"Smaller, smaller." With a thought, the gigantic Ruyi sack shrank to the size of a palm.
With such clever use, this Ruyi Divine Weapon had indeed become a Qian Kun artifact.
The Six-Eared Macaque was dumbstruck; his Iron Rod Weapon could also change size at will.
Had he known it could be used in such a way, why would he have had to go to the trouble of having many demons transport the weapons, and wait for the supreme one to collect them?
Suddenly, he was filled with shock and rage, for the weapons were gone!
He shouted loudly, "Return my weapons!"
Boom!
No sooner had he spoken than he was struck by the Bull Demon King’s cudgel, leaving him dizzy and seeing stars, and he crashed into a snowy mountain on Ice-Fire Island. Immediately there was a thunderous roar as the volcano, silent for countless years, erupted.
"Mwahaha, these weapons are indeed your lifeline." Sun Wukong burst into laughter, dancing joyfully as he directly stuffed the Ruyi sack into his bosom.
He had been framed and wronged again and again, carrying a fire in his heart, and now at last, he had found his revenge.
The only regret was that he might not be able to subdue the Six-Eared Macaque today.
Just as the thought crossed his mind, almost simultaneously, the wind howled, and a shadow bathed in blood-colored divine light flickered from the distant sea and arrived at Ice-Fire Island.
The shadow’s face was indistinct, but it could vaguely be made out that it was a bald head covered in demonic patterns between the brows and crown, looking very fierce.
"Sun Wukong, put down those weapons, and I might spare your life," the shadow declared, hovering above the erupting volcano and looking down at the Monkey King in the valley.
"Who is this nameless nobody, speaking such audacious words?" Wukong was not intimidated in the least. He knew this figure was the shadow mentioned by Meng Po.
"Hmmph, incorrigible fool!" The shadow slammed down with a palm, and a massive palm print radiating blood light fell from the sky.
Wukong immediately felt an unstoppable rise of terror from the depths of his heart; it was the fear that came from an absolute disparity in strength.
The opponent was a Quasi-Saint mixed Yuan Golden Immortal, while he was only a Daluo Golden Immortal.
If he was covered by this palm, not to mention being killed on the spot, he would certainly be captured by the opponent!
"I must not face this force head-on!" Wukong was well-prepared and instantly turned into a beam of golden light, vanishing to ten thousand li away in the blink of an eye.
This was the Heavenly Gang Divine Skill Golden Light!
"Trying to flee?" Blood light flashed over the shadow’s body and it disappeared on the spot, appearing before Wukong in the next moment.
"Old Star Lord, where is the help you’ve requested?" Wukong suddenly shouted out loud.
Whoosh!
As his words fell, a magnificent streak of black sword light tore through the dense fog and fiercely approached from afar.
"Hm?" A Black Light Divine Sword appeared in the shadow’s hand, moving to meet the oncoming attack.
Boom!
The two sword lights collided, setting off a terrifying force that instantly erupted, tearing countless rifts in the space around them, while waves piled upon each other in the sea, as if to destroy heaven and earth.
On closer inspection, one could see a middle-aged man clad in black armor, with disheveled hair and a longsword in hand, appearing in the skies above this sea domain. Behind him, a massive tortoise-snake law figure loomed.
