Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 526 - 506: The Two Evil Masters

Xi Zhao was profoundly shocked at this moment, and there was even a trace of fear. He had realized that he had underestimated Zijing. When he saw Zijing again initially, although Zijing's strength was much higher than that of Xi Zhao, Xi Zhao did not think of Zijing as a formidable enemy. Therefore, in the series of subsequent events, there was no particular focus on Zijing, only sending her along when sending the Evil Monarch to attack the Primordial Palace. Moreover, Xi Zhao had ordered the Evil Monarch to seize the opportunity to get rid of Zijing.

After the Evil Monarch returned, he told Xi Zhao about the event, and Xi Zhao did not blame him for anything. But now, it seemed that Zijing was definitely not as simple as he had imagined. Furthermore, upon careful consideration, during their trip to the Supreme Pool, the performance of Zijing and the little fox was indeed significant. Even the Netherworld Fortuity Fruits they had eaten were suspicious. Although the fruit might not have been fake, they certainly did not know everything about it. Moreover, at that time, Zijing was not at the Domain Lord level. With the strength of the Nine Patterns Supreme, she had managed to deceive and evade the surveillance of the Law Enforcers to obtain the Netherworld Fortuity Fruit and get them to take it, which in itself was highly dubious.

Now, Xi Zhao had at least identified two things. Firstly, his life was no longer in his hands. Second, Sun Wukong and Flame God must not be killed, at least not before he found a way to break the life-bound contract of the Netherworld Fortuity Fruit. Indeed, Xi Zhao, Sun Wukong, and Flame God had forged the most sacred life-bound contract. During the period in which this contract was not annulled, their life force was interconnected—if one died, the other two would subsequently follow in death.

Moreover, they could harm each other, but they could not kill each other. That was why Sun Wukong, after being directly hit and killed by the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon, resulted in Flame God and Xi Zhao dying seemingly without reason. All this was part of Zijing's plan—or rather, the plan of the person behind Zijing. Now, it was certain that behind the former Guardian of the Dominion of Soil, Zijing, there must be a force or a group of strong individuals who had broken through to that level.

So Xi Zhao realized that he had underestimated Zijing. It seemed that, as early as in the Netherworld World, Zijing must have had doubts about him. The only unknown was whether it was Zijing's own discovery or if Yue Huangquan had informed her. If it was Yue Huangquan, then the matter was far too complicated.

These thoughts whirled through Xi Zhao's mind at lightning speed, and he had already arrived in front of Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong, with an equally stern face, stood before Xi Zhao. The four eyes met, and for a moment, there was an eerie silence. Eventually, Sun Wukong was the first to speak, "Stop this. What you are doing is a dead end, and the only outcome will be annihilation." Xi Zhao laughed self-deprecatingly, "I remember you once told me that in the Pangu Realm, others also advised you similarly, yet you still caused havoc in Heaven."

"You're right, which is why I was suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain for a full five hundred years, while Heaven remained unscathed after five hundred years." "I know, you failed. But I will not. That's why you are the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, and I am the Demon Monarch. Sun Wukong, why won't you join us? Once we break these shackles together, we'll gain true freedom, free from any restraints."

"Xi Zhao, you're mistaken. True freedom is not about having no restraints, but about having no wild ambitions in your heart. I am well aware of this, Xi Zhao, so please stop. Do you really wish for a great war that devastates all living beings?"

Xi Zhao shook his head, "I believe, dying in battle for true freedom is an honor. Sun Wukong, we walk different paths. Therefore, today, one of us must disappear." Sun Wukong also smiled, "But you've forgotten, you can't kill me, and you won't survive either." Xi Zhao confidently said, "I don't need to kill you to make you disappear!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a sharp and cold dagger appeared around Sun Wukong's neck. At the same time, a familiar and cold voice rang in Sun Wukong's ear, "Great Saint, I think being overly confident isn't a good habit." Sun Wukong was not alarmed, instead smiling, "Evil Monarch, you are indeed very strong. I know you could assassinate everyone in the Netherworld World right from the start if you wanted, but you didn't. So I believe you're not as cruel as you appear."

"Whether I am cruel or not is not for you to decide," said the Evil Monarch, and the other black dagger he was clutching in his other hand had already swept towards Sun Wukong's waist. Wukong did not make any pronounced movements, merely taking a step forward and pushing away the dagger that was horizontaly placed at his throat with his right hand. Meanwhile, the other dagger aimed at his waist simply missed, as if it was a scene steeped in mystery. Yet if one truly attempted to describe it, they would find it indescribable.

The Evil Monarch clearly did not expect his attack to be avoided so effortlessly, but he was not surprised. After his strike missed, he vanished suddenly, and as he disappeared, Xi Zhao appeared above Sun Wukong's head, brandishing twin azure rings, and slashed directly at Sun Wukong's shoulders. Similarly, just as the Formless Vanishing was about to hit Sun Wukong's shoulders, his body swayed, and he reappeared a foot behind where he had been standing.

Xi Zhao's attack also missed. As his strike failed, Xi Zhao saw Sun Wukong's body seemingly flicker slightly, yet he made no significant movement. Xi Zhao then disappeared, the Evil Monarch reappeared, this time at Sun Wukong's right rear, thrusting his black dagger at Sun Wukong's shoulder, an attack that Wukong once again avoided as if he had anticipated it.

Then, the Evil Monarch vanished, and Xi Zhao appeared, with the attack missing again. And then it was Xi Zhao vanishing, and the Evil Monarch reappearing, with the attack missing yet again. However, this time the Evil Monarch did not disappear immediately after his attack missed, but instead followed up with a second strike. This caught Sun Wukong off guard, and the Evil Monarch's dagger stabbed into his left forearm. Not missing this golden opportunity, Xi Zhao directly appeared behind Sun Wukong, taking advantage of the moment when Sun Wukong was distracted by the Evil Monarch, and his twin azure rings sliced down.

To Xi Zhao's great surprise, this time Sun Wukong inexplicably failed to avoid in time, and his arms were cut off cleanly at the root, immediately causing blood to gush from the severed limb.

On the other side, when Sha Wujing perfectly merged with the World Suppressing Stele and, with its explosive power, nailed Ling Weiyang, who had entered his true Kirin form, to the ground with the Sky-flipping Crescent Spade, Sha Wujing suddenly felt a very strange sensation. It was a subtle feeling, as if he had inadvertently overlooked something important just now.

But this overlooked detail was crucial, and if he could not remember it, it might even risk his life. While trying to use the force of the Primordial Water of the World Suppressing Stele within his body to seal off Ling Weiyang, Sha Wujing began to recall meticulously everything he had seen and experienced. Eventually, when he remembered a certain detail, Wujing felt a chill run down his spine. Then, hastily turning around to look, he saw that not far from him and Ling Weiyang, the several injured individuals who had fought Ling Weiyang earlier were seizing the time to recover and regulate their breath.

Among these people were Ling Yi from the Fangcun Spirit Realm, Shi Ling Monk from the Ancient Primordial World, Ghost Jade, Si Ye, and Liang Ji from the Canglan River Realm, Du Tianyang, Shang Sheng, and Zhan Yunyi from the Netherworld World. There were also two others whose names Sha Wujing did not know. Among these people, there was no issue with anyone else, but when Sha Wujing's gaze finally locked onto Si Ye, he couldn't shake off a feeling of eeriness.

Si Ye from the Canglan River Realm, wasn't he already dead? But why is he here, unharmed? Could there be two Si Yes? But that's impossible. Could Si Ye have the ability to resurrect himself? He hadn't mentioned that either.

Observing Si Ye sitting cross-legged on the ground cultivating, Sha Wujing felt increasingly that something was amiss. (To be continued.
