Journey to the West: Great Saint Equal to Heaven
Chapter 151 - 151 148 Already Here
151: Chapter 148 Already Here 151: Chapter 148 Already Here The Demon Phoenix and his comrades were shocked to find that the Flood Dragon Demon King was actually a Heavenly Venerate.
Before, they had thought that the Flood Dragon Demon King was merely at the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm, with one foot stepping into the realm of Heavenly Venerate; they had not expected him to actually be a Heavenly Venerate.
Baize looked at Kunpeng with a skeptical gaze, revealing an expression of doubt.
Kunpeng’s face darkened, and he said coldly, “Even I did not know that he had already reached the realm of a Heavenly Venerate; he hid it too well.”
Baize furrowed his brows, the sudden intervention of the Flood Dragon Demon King had thrown a slight wrench into his plans.
Fortunately, to prevent any mishaps, he had deliberately arranged for additional manpower.
In this way, even with an extra Flood Dragon Demon King, there would be no problems at all.
“Let’s wait a bit longer.
As soon as Sun Wukong dares to show up, this time we must eradicate him,”
Baize said.
A glint of cold light flashed in Kunpeng’s eyes as he said coldly, “Not just Sun Wukong, but also that traitor, I want to kill him too—for daring to betray me, I’m going to let him know the consequences of betraying me.”
The person he was talking about was none other than the Flood Dragon Demon King.
Baize nodded indifferently; as the Flood Dragon Demon King was a subordinate of Kunpeng, it was of no interest to Baize how he dealt with him.
Sun Wukong had actually already arrived, having sensed the situation here he knew that the Flood Dragon Demon King had made his move and he had instead gone into hiding.
He and Lu Dongbin concealed their presence, step by step approaching the two sides engaged in combat.
The Flood Dragon Demon King said in a deep voice, “Big brother, we need to hurry and break out.
This is a trap.
Kunpeng and Baize have joined forces, laying a sky net and earth trap.
They’re using you as bait to lure over Flood Dragon to kill him.
The only way for us to save Flood Dragon is to break out.”
Ox Demon King trembled all over, he was now aware of what had transpired.
The opposite side wasn’t targeting him, but Sun Wukong instead.
He was merely bait,
If they wanted to keep Sun Wukong from falling into the trap, their best option was to escape right now.
“Let’s join forces and break out.
Those two won’t be able to stop us.”
Naturally, two Heavenly Venerates could not stop the Flood Dragon Demon King and Ox Demon King who were also Heavenly Venerates.
They repelled their respective opponents and then flew off into the distance.
“Get back here.”
A cold snort sounded, coming from a giant, three Zhang tall, with a body that was actually golden, brandishing a Wolf Fang Club, he swung it directly at them.
The Flood Dragon Demon King and Ox Demon King changed color, repelled by the club,
The giant was also at the realm of a Heavenly Venerate, but possessed a frighteningly powerful strength.
“An ancient giant, how can such a creature still exist?
Weren’t they already extinct?”
The Flood Dragon Demon King exclaimed.
“Today none of you will escape.
Once Sun Wukong arrives, you all will go to your deaths together,”
the Demon Phoenix said with a sneer.
Three Heavenly Venerate powerhouses, all remnants from ancient times, were besieging the Flood Dragon Demon King and his comrade.
The Flood Dragon Demon King and company were mighty in mana, but they were only on par with these ancient demons.
Now, outnumbered, they couldn’t manage to break free in a moment’s notice.
This made both parties somewhat anxious.
If Sun Wukong were to hurry over, with all their might pressed into play, none of them feared they would be able to escape.
“Younger brother, I’m afraid I have led us into trouble this time,”
Ox Demon King sighed.
He was filled with regret, wasn’t it better for him to have stayed obediently in the Purple Bamboo Forest?
He couldn’t withstand the boredom, so he went out to accept what he thought was a friend’s invitation, only to end up trapped and ensnared.
The Flood Dragon Demon King laughed heartily, not minding at all.
“Big brother, you’re making it sound so estranged.
We are sworn brothers; why bother with such talk?”
Ox Demon King also laughed heartily, his spirit soaring to the heavens as he glared at the Demon Phoenix and his comrades, proudly saying, “Today we will show them that the Seven Great Saints of the Demon Clan are not to be trifled with.
They want to kill us, but we also want to take them down.”
“When brothers are united, their sharpness can cut through metal.”
Both men were surging with the will to fight.
Soon, the two of them could no longer maintain their bravado.
They were suppressed, reduced to an utmost state of disarray, facing an ancient great demon and a total of three Heavenly Venerates.
The ancient giant, in particular, was alarmingly strong, almost single-handedly overpowering the both of them.
Their situation could only be described as utterly miserable.
Kunpeng was somewhat astonished and glanced at Baize.
It seemed that Baize had gathered quite a few former members of the Ancient Heavenly Court, and they had not been idle, having made significant strides in strength.
This ancient giant, if he remembered correctly, was only a rather formidable Celestial Immortal when the Ancient Heavenly Court fell, but now had become a Heavenly Venerate, and not just any Venerate, but a formidable one at that.
Just how many experts had Baize mobilized today, Kunpeng had a pretty good idea.
It wasn’t just about hunting down Sun Wukong anymore; even if it were to target him, it might actually succeed.
His caution towards Baize was elevated to a new level in his heart.
As time ticked by, Sun Wukong still did not arrive.
This made both Baize and Kunpeng quite anxious, wondering if something unexpected had happened.
Given Sun Wukong’s temperament, as long as Iron Fan Immortal had found him, he would definitely rush over.
Even if he clearly knew there was an ambush, he wouldn’t shy away.
There was only one possibility; Sun Wukong had already arrived and was hiding in the shadows, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.
At that thought, Baize’s expression changed slightly.
He hurriedly sent a mental message to the ancient giants.
“Be careful, Sun Wukong might have already arrived.”
The ancient giants were slightly taken aback.
At this moment, Sun Wukong made his move.
He instantly appeared behind the ancient giant, and the Jingu Bang expanded in the wind, slamming down on the giant’s head.
“Bang.”
A loud crash rang out as the ancient giant’s head burst open.
Even with a formidable body, an unprepared blow to the head from Sun Wukong with his staff was enough to kill him instantly.
The headless ancient giant fell, his life force quickly fading.
With that strike, Sun Wukong finished him off.
“Sun Wukong.”
The Demon Phoenix and the rest cried out in shock and anger.
The expressions of the Flood Dragon Demon King and Ox Demon King changed drastically.
They shouted, “Nihou, run!
There is an ambush!”
But Sun Wukong did not leave, instead, he turned to attack the Demon Phoenix.
The Demon Phoenix roared, and the Phoenix Demon Fire surged, transforming into a Sword of Flames and slashing at Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong blocked it with the Jingu Bang, forcing the Demon Phoenix to retreat.
Another ancient demon prepared to strike, an ancient giant scorpion, treacherously venomous, with a colossal stinger appearing behind it, poised to stab Sun Wukong.
“Nihou, be careful.”
The Ox Demon King shouted as he charged forward, swinging his Mixed Iron Rod to block the poison stinger.
The Flood Dragon Demon King and the Ox Demon King joined forces, attacking the ancient giant scorpion together.
The ancient giant scorpion retreated, unwilling to exchange blows head-on.
At that moment, one powerful figure after another appeared around them.
Leading them were none other than Kunpeng and Baize, who watched Sun Wukong and the others with a cold and distant stare.
In their eyes, Sun Wukong and his companions were already dead.
With everyone appearing, the ancient giant scorpion certainly did not want to risk its life against Sun Wukong and his companions.
As long as their side took action, they would be able to capture Sun Wukong and the others with an absolute advantage.
