CHAPTER 529: CHAPTER 471, JUDICIAL HEAVENLY GOD AO BING

Atop Huaguo Mountain a flag fluttered in the wind, with four bold characters inscribed upon it: Great Sage Equalling Heaven!

Above the clouds, Li Jing glanced at the flag and became furiously enraged, exclaiming, "A measly Evil Monkey dares to falsely claim the title Equalling Heaven.

Giant Spirit God, go and challenge them, capture the Evil Monkey, and proclaim the might of heaven!"

Giant Spirit God, with a salute, bellowed, "Understood~" Swinging the Floral Axe, he flew towards Huaguo Mountain, his enormous body exuding an intense aura of oppression.

Reaching the airspace above Huaguo Mountain, the Giant Spirit God bellowed, "Horses’ Fortune, I am the Giant Spirit Sky General under the command of the Heavenly Court, here by the decree of the Jade Emperor to subdue you.

If you know what’s good for you, come out and surrender early to avoid the executioner’s axe and blade!"

Thump~

Thump~

Thump~

Upon Huaguo Mountain, the sound of drums thundered continuously, as countless Demons formed ranks, brandishing weapons and shouting loudly, with the Demon Cloud rolling turbulently, emitting an aura of murderous intent, causing the sea to raise towering waves.

A streak of Jing Guang flew out from Shuilian Cave, landing before the multitude of Demons, dispersing to reveal a figure—it was the gallant and imposing Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong, dressed in Locking Gold Armor, donning a Phoenix Wing Purple Gold Crown, stepping on Lotus Silk Cloud Shoes, and holding the Jingu Bang in his hand, a red cape fluttering behind him as he looked around with an arrogant gaze that reached the skies.

Giant Spirit God, holding the Floral Axe, pointed at Sun Wukong and bellowed, "Sun Wukong, do you recognize me?"

With his Jingu Bang on his shoulder, Sun Wukong laughed heartily, "Who are you, claiming to be some God? Announce yourself! I, Old Sun, do not slay the nameless."

Giant Spirit God shouted, "You contemptible macaque! How could you not recognize me?!

I am the Door God of the Lingxiao Palace, now a vanguard for King Li, Giant Spirit Heavenly General! I am here upon the Holy Decree of the Jade Emperor to subdue you.

Renounce your façade and submit to the grace of heaven, lest all the creatures on this mountain face annihilation.

If you utter a single word of refusal, I will reduce you to ashes in an instant!"

Sun Wukong retorted disdainfully, "What Giant Spirit God, little spirit god, I’ll crush you, you sorry excuse for a god."

Sun Wukong’s figure flashed, crossing the sky in a moment, arriving above the Giant Spirit God. He raised the Jingu Bang high and struck down ferociously, as if a pillar from heaven had toppled, sending stars plummeting.

The Giant Spirit God was terrified within. "This macaque is incredibly fast!" As he hastily raised his Floral Axe to block, clang—a resonant clang reverberated, with Divine Light scattering.

The Giant Spirit God’s enormous body suddenly sank, staggering downward, his footsteps booming in the air.

Before he could regain his composure, the Giant Spirit God opened his mouth to spew out a beam of Divine Light, whoosh—flames roaring towards Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong, with a twist of his figure, transformed into a firebird and burst out of the fiery sea, then appearing before Giant Spirit God to reveal his true form, delivering a kick.

Giant Spirit God hastily threw a punch, and with a bang—their fist and foot met, tearing the raging flames asunder with their terrifying power.

Giant Spirit God swung his Floral Axe in a continuous attack; with a piercing cry, the shadow of a phoenix’s head emerged on top of his Floral Axe, diving straight for Sun Wukong’s head.

Sun Wukong hoisted his Jingu Bang skyward, with a Golden Dragon winding around it.

Clang clang clang clang—the two fought relentlessly, the staff swung as if a dragon frolicking in water, the axe cut as though a phoenix darting through blossoms. Staff and axe interplayed, showing off their martial prowess, Heavenly General exhibiting Divine Skills, Great Saint demonstrating his transformations, darting to and fro in the intense fight.

Bang—Sun Wukong parried the Floral Axe and then swung his Jingu Bang down hard, thud—the hit landed squarely on the Giant Spirit God’s shoulder, eliciting a miserable cry as bones snapped and tendons broke; he tumbled from the clouds and splashed into the East Sea.

Sun Wukong, standing on the clouds with the Jingu Bang on his shoulder, laughed heartily, "So this little god does have some skill after all."

Atop Huaguo Mountain, the multitude of Demons shouted together excitedly, "Our King!"

"Our King!"

"Great Sage Equalling Heaven!"

...

Above the clouds, the winds and clouds surged violently, and the expressions of all the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals changed drastically—this Horses’ Fortune had such capability.

King Li shouted loudly, "Sun Wukong!" His booming voice echoed through Heaven and Earth like the sound of Heavenly Music.

The loud cries of the Demons were suddenly suppressed.

Sun Wukong looked up and smirked, "Li Jing, you’re just a pus-filled sore; I, your grandfather Sun, disdain to kill you. Hurry back and tell the Heavenly Emperor: He has no use for the virtuous! I possess endless abilities, why should I be tending to his horses?

Look at the characters on my banner—if he promotes me according to these characters, I will lay down my weapons, and Heaven and Earth will naturally be peaceful and orderly; if he does not, I will make time to attack the Lingxiao Palace and make sure he cannot rest peacefully on his dragon throne!"

Li Jing angrily responded, "You impudent Horse’s Fortune, how dare you still act wildly? Is the title of ’Equalling Heaven’ something you’re fit to bear?

All Heavenly Generals, heed my command—level Huaguo Mountain and capture Sun Wukong."

All the Heavenly Generals shouted in unison, "Yes!" Leading a large host of Heavenly Soldiers, they charged downwards.

Sun Wukong fiercely raised his Golden Hoop and shouted, "My warriors, charge and kill!"

"Woo woo~"

"Awooo~"

"Roar—Kill!"

The Seventy-two Cave Demon Kings led a large group of little monsters to attack the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals; the cries of battle were earth-shattering.

Sun Wukong took the lead in the charge, and with a great sweep of his extended Jingu Bang, a swath of Heavenly Soldiers fell like rain.

Sun Wukong displayed his might and fought fiercely, brandishing the Jingu Bang with divine power; he made the Heavenly Generals howl in misery and the Heavenly Soldiers flee in disarray, Li Jing dropped his helm and armor, and the Demons laughed wildly in victory.

After a while, Li Jing, holding the Female and Male Dual Swords, cried out in shock, "Retreat, retreat swiftly!"

Boom~

Boom~

Boom~

Three thunderous blasts rang out, and the remaining Heavenly Soldiers and Generals fled in utter panic.

Sun Wukong, carrying the Golden Hoop, stood on the clouds and laughed heartily, pointing at Li Jing and shouted, "Pus-filled sore, pus-filled sore! I have spared you, now hurry and go inform the Jade Emperor—if he doesn’t bestow upon me the title of ’Great Sage Equalling Heaven’, I will march up to the Lingxiao Palace and depose him from his imperial throne."

"What great arrogance!" A cold rebuke suddenly sounded.

A spirited young man appeared silently in the sky, dressed in a black robe with a fluttering cape behind him, lined with meritorious conduct, embossed with cloud patterns—truly majestic and valiant.

Li Jing exclaimed in shock, "Judicial Heavenly God Ao Bing!"

All the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals looked towards Ao Bing with excitement; with the Judicial Heavenly God arriving, they were eager to see how this monkey would continue to flaunt his power.

Sun Wukong sized up Ao Bing with a teasing grin, "Which family’s baby are you? Best hurry back home, lest weapons do not discriminate and make you cry."

Ao Bing materialized a Fangtian Halberd in his hands and declared, "Sun Wukong, your Locking Gold Armor, Phoenix Wing Purple Gold Crown, Lotus Silk Cloud Shoes, and Ruyi Jingu Bang are all belongings of my Dragon Palace of the East Sea. Standing before you as the Crown Prince, dare you deny you recognize them?"

"Uh~" Sun Wukong exclaimed in surprise, looking over Ao Bing, he chuckled, "So you’re the son of Brother Dragon; your grandpa Sun and Brother Dragon hit it off at first sight, by rights, you should be calling me uncle. Dear nephew, come over to your uncle and let me have a good look at you."

"Wishing to be my uncle, you’ll have to see if you’ve got the skills," Ao Bing replied.

Ao Bing lifted the Fangtian Halberd in his hand and sternly said, "Audacious Sun Wukong, for wrecking the Imperial Stables, rebelling against the Heavenly Court, disturbing the Heavenly Rules, I am here by command of Emperor Gouchen to capture you and bring you back to the Heavenly Court to face your crimes."

Sun Wukong’s heart trembled—Emperor Gouchen, he actually wants to capture me?
