#471 - You monkey please me.
— I need to weave a Word of Power as soon as possible.
I don't know if the Great Sage Equaling Heaven has seen through this as well, but its attacks show no sign of stopping, instead becoming even more intense.
The Ruyi Jingu Bang swept in from the right, and Zun Zun subconsciously raised his sword to block.
Unexpectedly, this was just a feint. In reality, it was a middle-level spinning kick aimed at Zun Zun's wide-open left side.
Pointing south while attacking north, creating a diversion.
It used this move to constantly tease Zun Zun. The same move was somewhat insulting, but Zun Zun, unable to break it, could only endure it with frustration.
This isn't just a simple feint.
Rather, it's seeing through Zun Zun's seamless flaws, using a two-pronged approach, coupled with a natural attack, making it impossible for him to dodge both attacks simultaneously.
Arms, shoulders, calves, all suffered damage.
Zun Zun gradually found himself at a disadvantage, but as time slowly passed, he sensed a chance for a counterattack.
But just then, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven stopped moving. It seemed to have noticed Zun Zun's unnatural fighting style, and made a monkey-scratching-face gesture with a cute girl's expression.
“You care a lot about this little girl?”
“You could say that. After all, I promised someone that I would bring her back safe and sound.”
“Is that so, no wonder… It's almost like I'm using this little girl as a hostage to threaten you. Oops, that won't do. It makes me look like a villain!? ”
“Does the Great Sage even care about that?”
Zun Zun didn't mean to tease or ridicule.
After all, on the battlefield, everything that can be used must be utilized. If Kusanagi Godou hadn't had something to rely on back then, the *Prometheus Secret Text* would definitely have been used in the battle against Veleslana.
“Don't say that.”
The Great Sage Equaling Heaven put away its staff, and it said loudly: “I have indeed done many bad things, but if people think I'm like a dirty rascal, that would be too embarrassing. I, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, need proper dignity!”
That's right, this is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven that Zun Zun remembers. It disdains using conspiracies and tricks, and faces strong enemies head-on, but was also tricked and defeated by various gods and immortals.
“Looks like I need to show my true face. I pray for purity and cleanliness, ha!”
Golden smoke rose from the little shrine maiden's head.
“With the six roots purified, my five viscera and spiritual officials are at peace! Because of this peace, I share the same root with the gods of heaven and earth! Now grant me a pure body and divinity—ouch, ouch, ouch!!!”
The smoke gradually thickened.
Just like the poor special effects in the 1986 Journey to the West, the smoke quickly turned into a monkey shape, and directly transformed into a physical body, becoming an ape-god with golden hair standing 160 centimeters tall.
As the monkey stood up, Mariya Yuri collapsed.
“Next, let's lock up this shrine maiden.”
The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, having regained its original form, flicked its hairy fingers. Then, Hikari's body turned into a small ball of light and was sucked into its mouth.
“Heh heh heh… Don't be nervous, I'm not eating her, I'm just putting her in my stomach first. Godslayer, if you want to save this shrine maiden, just cut open my stomach and pick her back up.”
“I see…”
Zun Zun's expression was complicated.
Seeing such a scene, he was very moved, but in his impression, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven was usually the one being swallowed, and now it was not only swallowing others, but even Mariya Yuri.
“But the Great Sage Equaling Heaven has a mouthful of pure energy and won't eat people, right?”
“Hahaha—, that might disappoint you! I am a being that defies the natural order. If it can bother you, I might really eat people! But I am, after all, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, known for being fierce and evil, so I don't want to do things that people would look down on.”
After saying that, it launched an attack.
Stepping on mysterious steps, its figure came like the wind, palms opening left and right, making ten attacks in an instant.
If it were before, Zun Zun might have been completely hit, but unfortunately, he has been ravaged by the palm techniques of a certain martial arts king recently, so he was able to dodge easily.
Then, a counterattack.
Even though the Great Sage Equaling Heaven had the agility of a monkey and its attacks were sharper than before, Zun Zun still retaliated with the Flying Phoenix Twelve Palms, hitting its shoulder hard.
It hurts!
Unexpectedly, it was Zun Zun who was in pain.
That cold touch was almost the same as the hardest substance in the world. Thinking of the essence of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, that is—
“Fiery Eyes, Bronze Head, Copper Arms, Steel Bones!”
Seeming to be stating its essence, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven suddenly produced a knife and a sword in its left and right hands, but instead of attacking Zun Zun, it stabbed its own abdomen and slit its own throat.
Ding, ding—
After two sounds, the sword and knife shattered at the same time.
“I stole peaches from the Heavenly Realm, drank spiritual wine, and stole immortal pills, turning into an indestructible body, and was also tempered by the flames of the Eight Trigrams Furnace. I can withstand the slashing and tearing of knives and swords, the chopping of axes, and the bombardment of lightning without suffering any damage.”
This is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's immortal body—indestructible!
Cannot be resisted head-on.
He is, after all, a Magus. Even if he has become a Godslayer, and his physique has been greatly enhanced, he is still a Great Magus who is good at using magic.
Not to mention, he is fighting against the purest steel hero with a strong physique.
Zun Zun had some thoughts of retreating.
But before he could take the crucial step, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's fiery eyes seemed to see through his thoughts, and blocked his retreat in advance.
“No, no, play with Old Sun a little longer.”
It appeared in front of him in an instant.
Zun Zun was startled. He didn't expect that the Great Sage Equaling Heaven hadn't really used its full strength just now. And in the moment of stunned silence, the Ruyi Jingu Bang thrust forward, aiming for his heart!
Danger!
Alarm bells rang in his heart.
But what the Great Sage Equaling Heaven didn't expect was that Zun Zun didn't retreat at this moment, but instead stepped forward to close the distance.
Luo Hao had taught him that sometimes offense is the best defense.
The Camel Transformation could only be used when heavily injured, but Zun-zun's intentions seemed to be seen through. The Great Sage Equaling Heaven slightly reduced his strength, but this also fell into Zun-zun's trap.
When the two intersected, the Ruyi Jingu Bang passed through Zun-zun's armpit, while his hand was already pressed against the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's chest.
At this moment, his whole body surged with powerful energy.
Inch Strength · Kaitian!
In just an instant, he sent the Great Sage Equaling Heaven flying dozens of meters away—then with a bang, he dissipated into nothing.
"What—!?"
Zun-zun was astonished.
He certainly knew that the Great Sage Equaling Heaven had myriad spells, and he was indeed guarding against this, but he didn't see any sign of spellcasting at all.
"Hahahaha—"
A hearty laugh came from high in the sky.
"Fighting with my monkey hair must be very enjoyable, right?"
The newest novels are first released on 69shu ba!
"…"
Looking up, watching the Great Sage Equaling Heaven sitting idly by, he discovered that it plucked a strand of monkey hair from behind its ear and then blew on it. In an instant, countless monkeys appeared.
The Great Sage Equaling Heaven's signature divine power, Incarnation Outside the Body.
It was no different from what he remembered.
Zun-zun's chest surged with inexplicable emotions. He knew very well that it was admiration. The admiration of meeting an idol, of seeing it perform its signature move, not to mention that he was now fighting it.
At that time, did Huihui also have the same feeling? If he didn't offer his respect, wouldn't he be looking down on his idol?
"—Speaking of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, one would think of the attendant of the Tang Sanzang, a god born from the confusion of various religions such as Buddhism, Taoism, and shamanism, as well as folk beliefs."
Zun-zun's body was covered with light spheres.
The light grew in numbers of dozens, hundreds.
"In addition, you are also a steel war god. Although being an ape, you are a fighting god with a deep connection to iron, the biggest reason for which is the formation process of Journey to the West."
Shoo shoo shoo—
The light transformed into light spheres, then rapidly shuttled back and forth in this space, quickly reaping the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's Incarnations Outside the Body.
"Oh?" The Great Sage Equaling Heaven gave a light exclamation, surprised, "Is it the same type as the Kurikara Sword? A sword of breaking evil and revealing righteousness born from wisdom?"
It watched the light spheres with great interest.
However, Zun-zun's Word Spirit had not yet ended, or rather, it had only just begun.
"Journey to the West is a collection of operas, novels, and folk legends with Sun Wukong as the protagonist. Although it is Tang Sanzang's journey to obtain the scriptures, the only one who truly obtained the true scriptures is you—Sun Wukong!"
"Hahahaha, not bad, not bad! That blockhead master lost his composure over a few volumes of scriptures, and in the end, it was I, Old Sun, who persuaded him!"
"Journey to the West can be said to be the culmination of Sun Wukong's legends. The material has many inherited myths and folk tales, the most important thing being that the Celestial Dynasty—the Han culture—is often influenced by external cultures, and is born only after being熏 陶."
Like praise, like declaration.
Zun-zun loudly spoke of the origins of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, his voice filled with emotion, the admiration of a child, the anticipation of a teenager, and the compromise of a middle-aged man.
More than that, it was wanting to let his idol see his growth, and like him, finally understanding the truths of the world after experiencing trials and tribulations.
Several light spheres attacked the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.
Up, down, left, right, all directions began a wave-like attack, like a live-action bullet hell game. However, all of these were easily dodged by the agile Ape God.
"Hahahaha!"
The Great Sage Equaling Heaven backflipped onto the golden cloud.
"Although it is a sword that looks quite troublesome, it is meaningless if it can't hit. How about it, can you touch me?"
It flew freely in the sky, unrestrained, wanton, and unrestrained. Constantly dodging the sword's pursuit, its speed was getting faster and faster.
"—With my words, weave a demon-subduing divine sword. Step down, Great Sage Equaling Heaven!"
Zun-zun constantly waved his hands.
The golden swords rapidly increased in number and accelerated, flying towards the Great Sage Equaling Heaven with the density of a sky full of fine rain.
But it was a step too late.
At this time, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven had already adjusted its speed to divine speed. The slow-moving golden swords couldn't even graze it, and even as it continued to ascend, the golden swords were thrown off, unable to even see its exhaust fumes.
"Tsk."
Zun-zun couldn't help but click his tongue.
He also didn't expect that his attack range would be easily seen through by the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. Yes, precisely because of this, it was the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, precisely because of this, it was his idol.
"—When fighting enemies, what are you spacing out for!"
Like a blurred voice coming from a distance, like deliberately reminding Zun-zun, these words made Zun-zun's entire back feel cold.
This was a premonition of crisis.
Without even thinking, not caring whether he would appear unsightly, he did a forward roll and instantly flashed a dozen meters away.
With a boom.
An iron rod descended from the sky with the force of a meteor, directly piercing the earth, and the aftermath overturned Zun-zun, who had not yet stood firm.
"Cough cough, cough cough cough…"
Wiping the corner of his mouth, he slowly stood up.
Zun-zun looked at the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, who was leaning leisurely on the Ruyi Jingu Bang in a playful posture. The corners of his mouth were also constantly rising, his fighting spirit was constantly being stimulated, and his eyes emitted a strong red light.
Subconsciously.
"—You monkey, you truly delight me!"
He spoke these words.
