Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 93: Crisis, Heavenly Fall Ban

Yang Jian let out a cold laugh without saying a word, flexing his muscles, "All right, then let’s get moving enough!"

A light flashed in his eyes, and the attacks of his Three-pointed Double-edged Blade grew increasingly fierce.

Knowing his own strengths, Tian Peng simply retracted his Rake, focusing solely on using his Divine Skills for defense.

If he could withstand it, he used the strategy of playing dead and relying on his thick skin; if not, he’d use the Falling Flowers Drifting technique to dodge.

After several exchanges, Yang Jian still hadn’t inflicted any substantial damage on Tian Peng.

"Brother Peng is strong indeed!" The Black Bear Demon watched Tian Peng emerge unscathed from such fierce attacks, and immediately became excited.

However, seeing Tian Peng only defending made him somewhat anxious, and he quickly yelled, "Brother Peng, hit him, fight back!"

Tian Peng dodged another blow with Falling Flowers Drifting, a wry smile in his heart—he’d have used an offensive Divine Skill already if he had one.

Unfortunately, his other abilities were nothing but trivial in front of Yang Jian.

Yang Jian was also becoming more and more apprehensive as the battle went on; this Tian Peng was truly different.

Although he had never crossed paths with Tian Peng before, he had heard of Tian Peng’s reputation as a mediocre fighter in the Heavenly Court, but now, this encounter...

Just talking about a Taiyi Golden Immortal, Tian Peng was nearly in an invincible position already.

This defensive power and the peculiar movement technique, they were definitely not something a Taiyi Golden Immortal could achieve, let alone possess both simultaneously.

Thinking about why Tian Peng had come here, Yang Jian immediately understood.

"You’ve also acquired Divine Skills from Shopkeeper Chen, haven’t you?" Yang Jian stopped his offensive and asked Tian Peng.

Tian Peng puffed out his chest, a proud expression on his face, "Of course!"

This was the reliance of his current combat strength.

"Yang Jian, I know it is also because of Shopkeeper Chen that you were able to break through to become a Daluo Golden Immortal and awaken Divine Skills."

Tian Peng spread his hands with a bit of a hooligan’s posture.

"Yang Jian, you sealed off the Guan River Mouth for ten years, and I suppose you’ve only just awakened to one Divine Skill, but this Marshal has already awakened three!"

"So what if your cultivation is higher? What can you even do to me!"

Since his battle with Guanyin, Tian Peng had gained a deep understanding of himself, knowing his defensive power was such a chore for even a Daluo Golden Immortal to shatter.

Of course, Sun Wukong was an exception.

Daluo Golden Immortals could comprehend the Laws, and the ones that constrained him the most were the Space Laws, just like when Guanyin directly placed a Spatial Restraint before striking, his Falling Flowers Drifting couldn’t break through the spatial barrier.

But how could Yang Jian, a rookie Daluo Golden Immortal, so quickly comprehend the Space Laws?

Tian Peng relaxed, feeling slightly smug. Nowadays, apart from Sun Wukong, who else had awakened more times than him?

Yang Jian, hearing Tian Peng’s self-assured analysis, did not deny it.

He refrained from using most of his Daluo Golden Immortal might, fearing to destroy the forest and displease Shopkeeper Chen, and truly found the current Tian Peng a bit troublesome.

His Divine Skill, One Thought Slash, was a lethal soul attack, not to be used except in a battle of life and death.

But he couldn’t just let Tian Peng go on bragging unchecked—without achieving anything, he dared to utter such words.

If he truly couldn’t handle him, who knows what else Tian Peng might say.

It would be a disgrace to the Three Realms!

Yang Jian smiled slightly, "So you’ve awakened to three Divine Skills, which is remarkable, but I never said that I’ve only awakened one, did I?"

A vertical wrinkle suddenly opened on his forehead, revealing a sharp eye.

The Heavenly Eye!

Tian Peng didn’t care in the least, he even felt like laughing. Everyone in the Three Realms knew about Erlang Shen’s Heavenly Eye on his forehead, a tool that could emit a laser and act like a Demon-revealing Mirror, trying to intimidate Marshal Tian Peng?

"Ran out of tricks, huh?

Tian Peng felt even more smug, thinking that Erlang Shen was just a big name and nothing more.

Yang Jian channeled his mana into his Heavenly Eye, activating his Divine Skills, Heavenly Fall Ban!

Tian Peng saw the glaring eyes coming his way and thought he was about to be hit with a laser, reflexively dodging with a swivel of his body.

But in the next moment, Tian Peng’s face drastically changed.

What the hell, why can’t I move!

Tian Peng panicked, recognizing the familiar sensation of Spatial Restraint. Since when did the Heavenly Eye have this extra function!

No, that’s not right!

Tian Peng, seeing Yang Jian calmly approaching step by step, racked his brain and came to a shocking conclusion, exclaiming, "You’ve gained a new Divine Skill?!"

Yang Jian nodded slightly, the corners of his mouth curling into an amused smile, "You have three already, don’t tell me I’m not allowed to have a second? Otherwise, wouldn’t I be beaten into submission every time we meet?

"Hah, just kidding man!"

Tian Peng’s eyes whirled as he forced a dry laugh, feeling a bit desolate inside for his famed reputation.

And he had just been boasting to Little Bear with such swagger.

He had planned to stall for time, surrendering the moment Yang Jian made a move. But to his surprise, he saw Yang Jian retract his weapon and Heavenly Eye, then turn and walk towards Shopkeeper Chen and the others.

Tian Peng was taken aback, wondering what this was all about.

Yang Jian spoke indifferently, "Let’s call it a draw today. Be more mindful in what you say and do in the future."

Although Yang Jian was known for being impartial and unemotional in his dealings, it seemed that Tian Peng must be a regular over at Shopkeeper Chen’s, otherwise he wouldn’t have awakened three Divine Skills.

Out of respect for Shopkeeper Chen, he decided to give Tian Peng this simpleton a break.

Feeling the Spatial Restraint lifting from his body, Tian Peng heaved a sigh of relief. He was about to spout some tough words when someone beat him to it.

"Hey, Yang Jian, don’t get cocky. Just now was just Peng letting you win. He hasn’t even started a real attack yet!"

The Black Bear Demon waved his fists at Yang Jian, pretending to be fierce. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Upon hearing the Black Bear Demon’s words, Tian Peng immediately felt like he had a splitting headache. Big brother, please get someone else!

Yang Jian could see that the Black Bear Demon was a simpleton who understood nothing. He laughed and said, "Why don’t you let your good buddy Peng explain why he didn’t attack?"

While Tian Peng did want to fight, he had to have the skill to do so.

All his Divine Skills were meant for escaping and defense. To think he wanted to take the initiative to attack was laughable.

As soon as Yang Jian finished speaking, everyone’s gaze once again focused on Tian Peng.

Tian Peng straightened up, trying to maintain his pride despite some fear, and began to bluster to save face.

He coughed lightly and said calmly, "Well, it’s just not very graceful to fight in front of Shopkeeper Chen’s shop. Besides, if I were to strike, the power might be too great and destroy Chaos Residence - then I’d be a sinner for the ages."

The crowd: ...

What a guy!

A twitch appeared at the corner of Chen Nuo’s mouth. Destroy Chaos Residence, indeed.

Apart from Chen Nuo himself, if anyone could mark this table inside Chaos Residence, they would truly be impressive!

Don’t let the simplistic look of Chaos Residence fool you. Many places show signs of age because that’s their original state.

Without going into further detail, just consider that table that looks like it’s about to fall apart; it’s been hit countless times and is still standing as it always has.

While the rest were speechless, only Tian Peng’s die-hard fan, the Black Bear Demon, believed without doubt.

"See what I mean? I told you, Peng’s indifference to struggling with you was just to show weakness, giving you the illusion of having the upper hand. That’s what you call having class. Learn from it!""
