MTLNOVEL Chapter 627_2
However, now with the help of Chen Sanzang, I can first destroy this bunch of lackeys, just in time to collect some interest from them.
"Congratulations to the Great Saint for regaining freedom. We should also return to report back, please do not make things difficult for us."
"Report back? Report what? You don't have to keep guarding Old Sun anymore, so you're relieved?"
Sun Wukong squinted his eyes, looking at these immortals and Buddhas, unable to hide the murderous intent in his eyes.
"Great Saint, we are also acting under orders, please spare us."
The unabashed murderous intent made a group of immortals and Buddhas break out in a cold sweat. After all, Sun Wukong's ferocious reputation is real, how could these lower-level errand runners withstand a beating from him?
"Relax, Old Sun will just give you a beating to let off steam, I definitely won't take your lives."
Sun Wukong grinned, showing a ferocious smile.
But in his heart he was saying, Old Sun won't kill you, but someone else wants your lives, and that's the Heavenly Destined One you're waiting for, the Master of Great Tribulation.
In an instant, Sun Wukong created dozens of clones, each rushing forward with an iron rod in hand.
"Take this!"
Chen Sanzang said, the need is for a quick battle, and none of these immortals or bald monks can escape, so Sun Wukong used his full strength from the beginning.
After all, Chen Sanzang only said not to kill them, so he would just cripple these lackeys!
A group of Profound Immortals, True Immortals, and Golden Immortals, how could they be a match for Sun Wukong?
Even if they scattered and fled, they couldn't escape Sun Wukong's grasp. The speed of the Somersault Cloud is too fast, almost instantly catching up with them, then smashing them down with one strike.
Sun Wukong was beating them in the sky, and Chen Sanzang was picking up bodies below. Yes, those who bore Sun Wukong's wrath were no different than dead.
For those who got hit by the monkey, the lightest injury was bone fractures, the severe ones had their souls on the verge of shattering, causing even their True Spirit to be damaged.
Every time Chen Sanzang picked one up, the Nine Ringed Staff in his hand would come down with a head-smashing blow right away.
Then, before the other party's spirit could escape, he immediately grabbed the spirit with a restriction, after which the Old Xi would perform a transcendence.
As his power continued to grow, Chen Sanzang's transcendence speed also increased accordingly, compared to Taiyin Golden Immortals or higher beings, due to the involvement of Laws, the difficulty and time required for transcendence increased rapidly.
However, for these immortals and Buddhas acting as prison guards, the highest cultivation level was Golden Immortal, mostly at the Profound Immortal and True Immortal level, making transcendence a very quick process.
Often, before Chen Sanzang finished reciting a round of the Transcendence Scripture, Old Xi had already drained the other party dry.
Truly drained dry, not just in terms of cultivation power, but even their spirit and mind were purified and condensed, all turned into nourishment for Chen Sanzang.
This crushing battle actually only lasted a minute before it ended.
Thirty-nine immortals and Buddhas were all crippled by Sun Wukong, allowing the monkey to vent his pent-up frustration thoroughly.
As for transcending these immortals and Buddhas, Old Xi took less than five minutes.
Once everything ended, Old Xi immediately created an illusion of these immortals and Buddhas leaving, unless Hongjun came personally to check, even a Saint would not see through the illusion.
"Hey, Drinking and Eating Monk, your aura has grown quite a bit fast."
Sun Wukong flipped over in one somersault to stand in front of Chen Sanzang, immediately noticing the change in the monk's aura.
He was still a Taiyin Golden Immortal, but his aura had increased by at least ten percent!
"Amitabha, isn't it all thanks to the sponsorship by these immortals and Buddhas?"
Chen Sanzang was very grateful to these immortals and Buddhas, not only for sponsoring his cultivation but also for contributing their spirits. Truly great people.
"Hehe, you, Drinking and Eating Monk, are very much to Old Sun's taste. But, aren't you afraid that old bald donkey Tathagata might take action and kill you?"
Sun Wukong had just controlled his strength, not killing anyone, but this Drinking and Eating Monk mercilessly crushed all the heads of this bunch of immortals and Buddhas.
This wasn't even the worst of it. Sun Wukong had just searched around and found that not only were their physical bodies gone, but their spirits and True Spirits had also been refined to pieces.
Such a skilled killer technique, this Drinking and Eating Monk must be a habitual and vicious criminal!
And yet, this kind of guy is actually the Heavenly Destined Person for retrieving scriptures, the Master of the Westward Journey's Great Tribulation. It's simply outrageous!
If it weren't for Sun Wukong sensing the pure Buddha Essence inside Chen Sanzang, comparable to the Tathagata, he would have thought this guy was a demon cultivator specializing in killing and refining souls.
"Hehe, Little Kongkong, follow this humble monk, and we'll overturn the Western Heaven together, and then maybe make ourselves a Buddha."
Chen Sanzang put his arm around Sun Wukong's shoulder, took out a wine gourd with the other hand, took a sip and offered it to the monkey, laughing as he spoke.
"Alright, Old Sun will do it with you. Been too long since Old Sun disliked that old bald head of Tathagata! Just right to snatch his Buddha position!"
Taking the wine gourd, Sun Wukong didn't mind Chen Sanzang's attitude at all, the two of them walked out of the collapsed ruins of the Five Elements Mountain, arms over each other's shoulders.
"Drinking and Eating Monk, what's your name?"
"This humble monk, Chen Sanzang, a person of the Great Qin Empire, commanded by Emperor Shi of the Great Qin Empire to fetch the scriptures at the Western Heaven Great Leiyin Temple."
As they walked, they ate and drank, quickly reaching the outskirts of the ruins.
Chen Sanzang unceremoniously mounted the little tiger and headed towards the next destination, only their pace of movement was extraordinarily touching.
At sunrise, the man and the monkey would slightly exercise their muscles and bones, then start searching all over the hills for edible food.
A single breakfast could take at least an hour.
Once full of food and drink, the man and the monkey would leisurely continue on the journey to fetch scriptures.
About half an hour would be spent ambling along before Chen Sanzang would often lay out a camping cloth on the ground, telling Sun Wukong he's hungry and to go to a nearby city to pack a delicious meal for lunch with some gold.
The monkey couldn't figure out what this guy was about, but as long as he had good food to eat, he didn't bother to think too much.
So with a flip, he'd be gone, returning after an hour or so, bringing back a meal ready for a feast, and the man and the monkey would begin to eat.
Just as Chen Sanzang said, people need food to function, and not eating for a while makes them famished.
Once lunch was finished, Chen Sanzang would take out two lounge chairs, find a spot under a shady tree, and start a nap with the monkey, and they could sleep through an entire afternoon.
According to Chen Sanzang, direct sunlight, with the Golden Crow across the sky, was too hot, causing damage to his delicate skin.
Plus, exposure to the sun might cause a person as fragile as him to die of heatstroke, so he's got to be extra careful.
In summary, the afternoon sun is too harsh, not suitable for traveling, so it's best to find a cool place and rest to avoid the heat.
Once the Golden Crow set in the west and the Jade Rabbit rose in the east, it would naturally be time for Chen Sanzang to hand Sun Wukong some money again to fetch dinner.
After the person and monkey had dinner, they'd have their personal free time.
Typically, at this time, Chen Sanzang would pick a beautiful female demon from the nearby mountains to enjoy an emperor-like performance of song and dance, maybe giving a little personal coaching, and the two sides would exchange expertise in some ball game, discussing a business deal with a couple of small goals.
Often at this time, Sun Wukong would be not far away, baring his teeth in surprise as he observed Chen Sanzang's actions.
Is this damn guy really the reincarnation of the Golden Cicada, Tathagata's disciple?
Truly, it's meat and wine passing through his intestines, but there's no Buddha in his heart!
This guy is completely not a man of the Buddhist Sect, but definitely a rebellious disciple!
Sun Wukong was very surprised, but he lowered his guard just a little.
Chen Sanzang's actions were completely at odds with the Western Buddhist Sect, which meant he didn't have to be on constant alert against him.
After reading "Journey to the West," Sun Wukong knew that Tang Sanzang was swayed by the Goddess of Mercy to put a tightening spell on him!
Familiar with the plot, Sun Wukong wouldn't allow the tightening spell to end up on his head again!
However, one issue left the monkey quite uncomfortable, and that was the script-taking journey.
This Chen Sanzang guy spends only half an hour on the road in a day, while the rest of the time is all wasted!
