Journey to the West: Great Saint Equal to Heaven
Chapter 102 - 102 102 Number One in Fearing Death 11th Update
102: Chapter 102: Number One in Fearing Death, 11th Update 102: Chapter 102: Number One in Fearing Death, 11th Update “Great Saint, whatever you command, just command away, and I will carry them all out.”
Gold Star Taibai said with a smile.
Sun Wukong revealed his purpose.
Gold Star Taibai was stunned.
Of the twenty-eight constellations, sixteen followed the Great Emperor Ziwei.
These sixteen constellations, being elite among the elites, if Sun Wukong were to take them, the Purple Forbidden Enclosure would lose much of its power.
Gold Star Taibai felt a headache coming, and couldn’t help but say, “Great Saint, how about I give you some Heavenly Generals instead?
I can give you at least fifty.
These sixteen Star Lords, actually following you would be of little use.”
Sun Wukong glanced at him sideways and sneered, “No, I said I want them, and it’s them I shall have.
Heavenly Generals are merely Earth Immortals, of little use to me.”
“What in the world are you trying to do?”
Gold Star Taibai felt his head swelling.
Sun Wukong casually stated, “Actually, it’s nothing big, just competing with Tathagata for territory.”
“Cough, cough.”
Gold Star Taibai almost choked on his own saliva.
This isn’t a big deal?
Then what is considered a big deal?
No wonder Sun Wukong needed so many elites.
Heavenly Generals truly wouldn’t suffice; they could be casually slapped to death.
And these Star Lords from the twenty-eight constellations, being the crème de la crème among Celestial Immortals, are the real masters, possessing the strength essential to contend with Tathagata’s subordinates.
“Fine, I will give you the sixteen Star Lords, but you must promise to return them early.
The operation of the Great Emperor Ziwei’s lineage can’t afford to lack so many masters.”
Gold Star Taibai admonished, his expression somewhat strange.
Sun Wukong patted Gold Star Taibai’s shoulder, laughing, “Don’t you know me yet?
Rest assured about my actions.”
Gold Star Taibai sneered, it was exactly because he knew Sun Wukong too well that he was worried.
It wasn’t the first time for Sun to borrow and not return.
Fortunately, this time he borrowed people.
As long as they didn’t die, they would return.
The sixteen constellations were summoned.
Just before leaving, Zhu Bajie arrived.
Upon seeing Zhu Bajie, Sun Wukong’s eyes lit up immediately.
“Fool, it seems that Ziwei treats you well; your cultivation has not insignificantly improved.”
Zhu Bajie scratched his head and said with a smile, “Thanks to Great Emperor Ziwei’s cultivation, I am now the Great Marshal of Heavenly Soldiers and Horses under Great Emperor Ziwei.”
Sun Wukong was slightly taken aback; this Great Emperor Ziwei indeed highly valued Zhu Bajie.
However, this also showed that he truly lacked capable people under his command.
“Well, not bad, then you continue to cultivate diligently.
Do not let down Ziwei’s cultivation of you.
This old fellow is not bad, and you are following the right person,” Sun Wukong advised, patting Zhu Bajie’s shoulder.
Glancing at the Star Lords beside Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie asked in surprise, “Brother, what do you need these people for?
Is someone giving you trouble?
Let me bring my troops to help you.”
“No need, you just focus on being Marshal Tianpeng.
There will be a time for you to act, I am currently competing with Tathagata,” Sun Wukong said with a smile.
The faces of the sixteen Star Lords suddenly turned pale.
Tathagata isn’t dead?
Was Great Saint taking them down to confront Tathagata?
Wasn’t that far too terrifying?
Who didn’t know that the Western Heavens Elder Buddha had boundless magical power and formidable strength?
Being an enemy of Tathagata Buddha, they wouldn’t even know how they died.
“He’s not dead?” Zhu Bajie was taken aback.
Sun Wukong glanced at him and asked, “Are you afraid?”
Zhu Bajie nodded and seriously said, “Yes, Tathagata Buddha is one of the most fearsome beings in the Three Realms.
Mainly because he often plays unpredictably, and with his great strength, he frequently deals dirty blows.
Few in the Three Realms aren’t afraid of him.”
Sun Wukong gave a faint smile, Zhu Bajie indeed understood Tathagata quite well.
He said lightly, “What would you think if I said Boxun is one of Tathagata’s subordinates, would you still be afraid?”
Zhu Bajie’s eyes instantly reddened.
“Monkey, let me go down and help you.”
However, Sun Wukong stopped him, his face serious as he said, “Fool, don’t be impulsive.
Old Sun promises you a chance for revenge, but you must also promise to reach the Heavenly Venerate Realm.
Otherwise, even if Tathagata stands there letting you kill him, you might not be able to do it.”
Zhu Bajie nodded fiercely, took a deep breath, and said, “I understand, I will become a strong figure in the Heavenly Venerate Realm in the shortest time possible.”
Having said that, he turned and returned to his Marshal Tianpeng Mansion.
“Fellow Star Lords, let us go.”
Sun Wukong called out to those Constellations.
The Winged Fire Snake was a woman of stunning beauty, except for the few red scales on her forehead, which gave her an eerily beautiful appearance.
She cautiously asked, “Great Saint, are we really going to fight the Buddha?”
“Yes, but you are only responsible for fighting Tathagata’s subordinates; I will handle Tathagata myself.”
Sun Wukong said affirmatively.
Since he had asked them to do the job, it was natural to inform them.
Even so, the Winged Fire Snake and the others turned pale.
Sun Wukong frowned slightly, somewhat displeased.
These Constellations, perhaps too timid for their own good.
It’s just Tathagata, what is there to fear?
He suddenly felt that asking Great Emperor Ziwei for help had been a mistake.
These people were really of little use.
“Won’t that offend Tathagata?”
The Winged Fire Snake continued.
The corners of Sun Wukong’s mouth twitched slightly; he directly said, “Alright, you all go back.
I don’t need you anymore.”
The Winged Fire Snake and the others were immediately overjoyed, as if they had been granted amnesty.
“Thank you, Great Saint.”
They thanked him and then quickly left, vanishing in an instant.
Sun Wukong found Taibai Gold Star, his face gloomy.
“Find me fifty Heavenly Generals.”
It seemed Taibai had anticipated all this; he laughed heartily, handing Sun Wukong a list that had already been prepared.
“You knew those people were unreliable?”
Sun Wukong stared at Taibai, his eyes flashing with a dangerous glow.
Taibai, unaware of this, continued to gloat, laughed and said, “Of course, I know too well the nature of these old servants from the Jade Emperor’s time—eager to claim credit, but the first to fear death when a crucial moment comes.
They’d never actually go fight Tathagata’s subordinates; just hearing Tathagata’s name would scare them to death,”
Sun Wukong nodded, his face wearing a cold smirk as he said, “So you just watched Old Sun’s predicament and snickered on the side.”
Taibai was taken aback, then realizing the inappropriateness, quickly said, “No such thing, Great Saint!
You are mistaken; I’m not that clever.”
“Heh.”
Sun Wukong laughed, then took action directly.
“Don’t hit the face; I make my living with it,”
Taibai Gold Star shouted.
Soon, he had two Iron-Eating Beast’s eyes on his face.
“A man may be killed but not insulted; you dare hit my face, I’ll fight you to the death, Green Lotus Sword Dao!”
Taibai Gold Star roared, deciding to fight Sun Wukong to the death.
The result was even worse for him, as he was beaten severely by Sun Wukong once again.
“Let you laugh at Old Sun’s expense.”
Sun Wukong clapped his hands, a look of satisfaction on his face.
The anger provoked by the Winged Fire Snake and the others had also been vented.
