Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 845 - 846: Dog Bites Dog, A Mouthful of Fur (Second Update!)
After just one exchange, the two green headscarves were sent flying back, blood spurting from their mouths, with horrified looks in their eyes.
"It’s not a phantom! It’s real! Both are entities! This isn’t the Clone Technique!"
"It’s exactly the same strength as the main body! This guy is a monster!"
The two green headscarves were freaking out; Sun Wukong’s sheer power was already monstrous, but now there was another clone, making it even more outrageous. They couldn’t possibly win one-on-one, and the only outcome of a direct fight would be ending up like that purple headscarf—utterly obliterated, with no remains!
"Ah Xiang, hold them off! I’ll go get help from Dragon Brother and the others!"
One of the blue headscarves slapped his companion on the shoulder, sending him flying towards Sun Wukong, while using the recoil to accelerate into the dense forest, disappearing in a few strides. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
"Ah, Zuo Liang, you damned bastard! I won’t forgive you even as a ghost!"
The betrayed blue headscarf was furious and despairing, seeing Sun Wukong’s Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod already smashing towards him. He closed his eyes in hopelessness, awaiting death.
"Eh?"
The anticipated excruciating pain didn’t come. Ah Xiang opened his eyes in confusion to see Sun Wukong standing right in front of him, with the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod lightly resting on his shoulder, not striking down.
"You... you’re not going to kill me?"
Ah Xiang found the cold murderous aura around Sun Wukong had vanished; it seemed he no longer intended to kill him, leaving him puzzled.
"I intended to kill you, but now I’ve changed my mind!"
Sun Wukong smiled lightly, "Do you still want my Heavenly Grade Cultivation Technique now?"
"No, no, absolutely not!"
Ah Xiang shook his head vigorously. After witnessing Sun Wukong’s monstrous power, how could he dare to covet his Cultivation Technique? Did he want to die?
"Then do you want revenge on the one who betrayed you?"
Sun Wukong continued, making Ah Xiang pause and then recall Zuo Liang pushing him to death, a deep hatred flashing in his eyes: "I want to skin him alive and tear out his bones!"
"Excellent!"
Sun Wukong nodded in satisfaction, "In that case, I’ll spare your life to let you seek revenge. But I don’t want to see you again; if you dare chase after me, I’ll end your life!"
"Thank you for sparing me! Thank you!"
Escaping death, Ah Xiang’s joy was indescribable. He bowed gratefully to Sun Wukong and darted into the dense forest. That bastard Zuo Liang wanted to use his life to buy time to escape; he swore he’d get his revenge!
Watching Ah Xiang’s receding figure, Sun Wukong smirked. Originally, he did intend to kill Ah Xiang, but after Zuo Liang betrayed his companion and fled, Sun Wukong changed his mind.
Taking out Ah Xiang was easy, but keeping him alive would cause no small trouble to those Primordial Spirit Alliance pursuers—let the dogs tear each other apart!
Turning around, Sun Wukong swiftly flew back the way he came, soon returning to the battlefield.
The battle was already over, with more casualties. The Blue Spirit Mercenary Group had no losses, but those following them were heavily wounded, now reduced to fewer than twenty survivors.
"Wukong, are you okay? What was that just now?"
Seeing Sun Wukong return safely, the Blue Spirit members rejoiced and surrounded him with questions. The black bird appeared too suddenly, and Sun Wukong immediately chased after it; the Blue Spirit members couldn’t stop him and hadn’t caught a glimpse of who was behind it.
"Just a few clowns trying to fish in troubled waters; I dealt with them. It’s no big deal." Sun Wukong replied indifferently. Blue Spirit’s leader frowned slightly, sensing half-truths; evidently, Sun Wukong didn’t want to explain further. She didn’t press him—everyone has secrets, as long as it didn’t affect the Ancient God Ruins expedition.
"Everyone rest awhile, then we continue!"
Blue Spirit’s words were directed at those following their mercenary group. Though the Blue Spirit Mercenary Group had little exhaustion, they didn’t need a break, but the others did, needing recovery to keep going.
Encountering several waves of monstrous attacks simultaneously like before, who knew if they’d face such again? If they did, these followers could at least attract fire and hold off attacks.
Blue Spirit understood, and Sun Wukong saw clearly. His gaze lingered on Blue Spirit for a few seconds, his dark gold eyes seemingly piercing through, making her uncomfortable, turning her head away.
After half a day’s rest, the team set out again, advancing further. They were deep within the Beast Spirit Mountain Range, close to the discovered Ancient God Ruins.
Everyone was visibly excited, even the injured, fantasizing about the treasures awaiting them, as if those treasures were just waiting to be picked up, amusing Sun Wukong.
Truly valuable treasures are rare indeed; even in Ancient God Ruins, good treasures aren’t just lying around—wouldn’t they already be taken long ago if they were?
Easy gains aren’t truly precious; genuine treasures lie deeper within the ruins. Facing unknown dangers, survival to claim them is uncertain.
However, this was none of Sun Wukong’s concern. His main goal was to find and reunite with Pangu; what happened to others was irrelevant.
"Finally here, ahead is the Ancient God Ruins! That’s the barrier of the ruins!"
A distant blue light screen appeared, vast, enveloping everything in sight, without visible limits. Excited shouts arose, and everyone rushed towards the light screen, with only Sun Wukong and the four from Blue Spirit Mercenary Group remaining composed.
"Leader, why aren’t you rushing up? Aren’t you afraid others will snatch the treasures first?"
Sun Wukong glanced at the group, blinking and asked.
"You didn’t rush up either, did you?"
Blue Spirit’s leader smiled wisely, "If Ancient God Ruins’ treasures were easy to obtain, those experts who first discovered them wouldn’t have all perished!"
