Journey to the West: Great Saint Equal to Heaven
Chapter 153 - 153 150 Heavy Losses
153: Chapter 150: Heavy Losses 153: Chapter 150: Heavy Losses Kunpeng was very sober, he knew that he was absolutely the main target of concern for his opponents.
If he wanted to break out, he had to fight with all his might.
Baize fought fiercely for a while, but soon started to falter, he began to dodge, not daring to clash directly with the opponent.
“Something’s wrong.”
Sun Wukong was locked in a fierce battle with a ferocious ape, a powerful Celestial Immortal whose strength matched his own, surprisingly equal in combat for a short time.
He noticed something was off with Baize and immediately rushed over.
Boom.
The Jingu Bang fell, striking Baize.
As a result, Baize exploded on impact, leaving nothing behind.
This Baize was a fake.
Sun Wukong’s face turned iron blue in an instant.
The real Baize had escaped earlier.
No wonder this fellow had survived from the Ancient Era until now, he was extremely cautious, fleeing the moment he sensed something wrong.
Even the Great Emperor Ziwei and the others found it unbelievable.
How had Baize escaped?
Let alone Sun Wukong, even if they were Great Heavenly Venerates, they had not noticed his escape.
The other ancient demon kings also made frantic attempts to break through, fleeing outwards.
They were all of Celestial Immortal realm, with formidable strength.
While Sun Wukong and his allies currently had the advantage, they couldn’t capture all of them.
Out of more than a dozen ancient demon kings, a full eight escaped.
Kunpeng also broke free from the suppression of three Great Heavenly Venerates and escaped.
He was set on leaving, and there weren’t many in the Three Realms who could keep him.
Sun Wukong wasn’t surprised either.
Slashing several Celestial Immortals, this was already a tremendous victory.
Especially for Kunpeng, after this incident, he likely wouldn’t dare to provoke Wukong easily anymore.
If you plot against me, be prepared to be killed.
Soon, the dust settled here.
Several gigantic corpses scattered on the ground were burned clean by a blast of Samadhi True Fire from Sun Wukong.
The Great Emperor Ziwei and the others took their leave, departing from this place.
The Flood Dragon Demon King looked at Sun Wukong, smiling as he said, “Big brother, Nihou, now that the matter is resolved, I should also leave.
Till we meet again, if fate allows.”
Sun Wukong was slightly startled, furrowing his brow as he said, “Second brother, you’ve betrayed Kunpeng, he will definitely not let you off, why not come to my Huaguo Mountain?”
The Flood Dragon Demon King shook his head, replying, “I won’t go.
I am your second brother, am I to go to your Huaguo Mountain to serve under you?”
Sun Wukong quickly responded, “That’s not what I meant.”
With a smile, the Flood Dragon Demon King said, “You needn’t be tense, I’m just joking.
It’s not that I really think that way, mainly because I truly don’t want to go to your Huaguo Mountain; I enjoy my freedom.
Ever since the third one tricked me into serving by Kunpeng’s side, it’s been a long time since I’ve felt this carefree.”
Among the seven brothers, he was one of the more low-profile ones.
Even his breakthrough to the Celestial Immortal realm was unknown to others, not even Kunpeng realized it.
Sun Wukong understood that his Huaguo Mountain was now in troubled waters.
If the Flood Dragon Demon King could find a suitable place to hide, it would actually be a good thing.
“Second brother, where do you plan to go?”
The Ox Demon King asked out of curiosity.
He had also wanted to invite the Flood Dragon Demon King to the Purple Bamboo Forest, but seeing that he had declined Sun Wukong, the Ox Demon King immediately knew that it was unlikely he would accept his invitation.
After pondering for a while, the Flood Dragon Demon King then said with a smile, “Not necessarily any particular place, perhaps I’ll find a spot beneath the sea to sleep for thousands of years, emerging once the turmoil in the Three Realms has settled to take a look around.”
Sun Wukong and the Ox Demon King were both speechless.
Members of the Dragon Clan all loved to sleep, and though the Flood Dragon Demon King was a Jiao, he possessed the characteristics of a dragon, similarly fond of slumber.
A single sleep lasting thousands of years was indeed likely to see the world transformed, with all matters resolved.
Of course, this was also a good method to avoid disaster.
“You go ahead, it’s not a bad idea,” he said.
Ox Demon King bitterly smiled.
It would probably take ten thousand years before he met his brother again.
Flood Dragon Demon King bowed slightly and then left the place.
“Let’s go back too,” Sun Wukong said.
But Ox Demon King shook his head.
He coldly said, “There’s still one matter to resolve.”
He looked towards a nearby spot where a White-Browed Tiger Spirit was hiding.
When it realized Ox Demon King’s gaze was on it, the White-Browed Tiger Spirit immediately began to tremble in fear.
It was he who had invited the Ox Demon King here, and almost led him to his death.
Originally, the White-Browed Tiger Spirit thought that by hiding, the Ox Demon King would not be able to find him, but to his surprise, the Ox Demon King spotted him immediately.
The White-Browed Tiger Spirit burst out from hiding and fled into the distance.
Ox Demon King let out a cold laugh, and in a flash, he caught up with the White-Browed Tiger Spirit, grabbing him in his hand.
“Spare me, Brother Ox,” the White-Browed Tiger Spirit yelled, his face full of panic.
Ox Demon King, however, was expressionless as he tightened his grip.
A Celestial Immortal Demon King was directly crushed to pieces.
After doing all this, Ox Demon King sneered and disdainfully cursed, “Trash.”
He had treated the other as a friend, but was betrayed, so naturally, Ox Demon King showed no mercy.
Sun Wukong and Lu Dongbin couldn’t help but laugh.
Old Ox seemed really furious this time.
“Alright, there’s no use getting angry over trash like that.
Little Sweetie is still waiting for you at home, hurry up and see her,” Sun Wukong teased.
Ox Demon King glared at Sun Wukong, dissatisfied, “Don’t call your sister-in-law ‘Little Sweetie’.”
“I know, I’ll just call her that in my heart from now on,” Sun Wukong said seriously.
Ox Demon King just gave him a look and let it go, unable to do anything about him.
Lu Dongbin smiled knowingly.
In his heart, he marveled at how the several Great Saints of the Demon Clan weren’t as ferocious as imagined.
At least in his eyes, had they not been provoked, Sun Wukong and Ox Demon King would never attack innocent people.
The three returned to Huaguo Mountain, and when Iron Fan Immortal saw the Ox Demon King had come back, she rushed into his embrace.
“You scoundrel, you scared me to death.
I thought I would never see you again,” Iron Fan Immortal pounded on Ox Demon King’s chest.
Ox Demon King smiled, “My lady, don’t worry.
How could those Mountain Spirits and Goblins be a match for your husband?
Here I am, back safe and sound.”
Ksitigarbha joined his hands together and said, “Patron Ox truly possesses divine skills.
You fought against two Heavenly Venerates alone and managed to hold out until our rescue.
With such strength, you’re indeed one of the top powers of the Three Realms.”
“From now on, we’re not going anywhere.
We’ll just stay in the Purple Bamboo Forest.”
Upon hearing Ksitigarbha’s words, Iron Fan Immortal was instantly startled.
She knew that Ox Demon King was a Heavenly Venerate, but she did not realize there were two Heavenly Venerates on the other side.
No wonder Ox Demon King wasn’t able to escape after sending her away.
Surviving against two Heavenly Venerates was already a stroke of luck for him.
“Naturally, I’ve come to realize that none of these fair-weather friends are reliable.
I’ll never associate with them again,” Ox Demon King stated confidently.
Sun Wukong glanced at him, not believing his words in the least.
Ox Demon King’s nature to make friends was hard to change.
