Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 876 - 877: Battle God Ape Clan (First Update!)
"Roar~!"
"Roar your grandma’s legs! Get down for your grandpa Sun!"
Sun Wukong swung his rod and knocked a demon leopard with sharp wings on its back to the ground, then sat on its back, as if pressing down a giant mountain, making the already bleeding demon leopard only able to breathe in but not out.
This was Sun Wukong showing mercy; otherwise, the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod alone would have been enough to blast the demon leopard into smithereens!
"Swish!"
Sun Wukong revealed his tail coiled around his waist, shook it in front of the demon leopard, and the originally concealed golden fur on his body also emerged, shining brightly in the dim environment.
"Little leopard, your grandpa Sun is also from the Demon Clan. Attacking me without seeing clearly is somewhat unfair, isn’t it?"
Sun Wukong bent down with a smile to look at the demon leopard, "If it weren’t for my pity on your cultivation struggle, I would have finished you with one blow!"
The demon leopard saw Sun Wukong’s monkey tail and the golden fur, and its face changed drastically, as if seeing something terrifying. It made a "heh heh" sound and couldn’t move while being sat on, its limbs and tail flailed, looking like it was struggling or begging for mercy.
"Are you begging for mercy or resisting? Show some proper begging if you’re begging; if you’re resisting, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
Sun Wukong snorted coldly, the smiling expression on his face unchanged, but his demeanor turned colder. The beasts in Tiandou Great Forest were indeed more intelligent compared to the Fierce Beasts of the Beast Spirit Mountain Range, but before transforming into humanoid form, they still couldn’t speak human language, unlike those demons in the Three Realms!
The demon leopard panicked. He couldn’t speak human language, and now, unable to move while being sat on, how was he supposed to beg for mercy?
Fortunately, the demon leopard wasn’t an ordinary leopard anymore, being a demon beast with simple transformation abilities. In his urgency, he remembered a surrender method used by the Human Race, swung his tail, and it suddenly transformed into a white flag, erected high, waving in front of Sun Wukong.
"Raising a white flag to surrender? This guy isn’t too dumb, quite interesting!"
Sun Wukong laughed, finding the demon leopard’s idea of surrendering by raising a white flag quite clever.
"Grandpa Sun has some questions for you. Answer honestly, and I’ll spare you. If you try to fool me..."
Sun Wukong stood up, a cold gleam fleeting through his eyes. The just relieved demon leopard couldn’t help but shiver violently, nodding continuously to indicate he dared not.
"Grandpa Sun asks you, how far is it from here to Heavenly Demon City?"
Sun Wukong had been wandering in the Tiandou Great Forest for ten days. Initially, he could follow the map, but later he got lost. The scenery in this forest was so similar, with no distinct paths. Who knew how the demons in Heavenly Demon City entered and exited?
Along the way, he encountered many demon beasts, but most avoided him, not daring to attack. The demon leopard was an exception, attacking decisively without sensing Sun Wukong’s aura. Whether to call him brave or reckless was a mystery.
Heavenly Demon City?
The demon leopard was stunned; was Sun Wukong intending to go to Heavenly Demon City?
"Roar, roar, roar roar!"
The demon leopard began to speak, but to Sun Wukong, it sounded like continuous low roars.
"Why roar? Can’t you speak human language?"
Sun Wukong frowned. Compared to the Three Realms’ demons, the demon beasts of Yuan Realm had much higher cultivation strength but severe shortcomings in the use of Divine Sense.
Just like this demon leopard, his spiritual wisdom was indeed activated, but in terms of using Divine Sense, he was far from even beginner level, let alone transmitting thoughts via Divine Sense.
No choice, Sun Wukong rolled his eyes, a golden light appearing in his palm, striking towards the demon leopard’s throat.
The demon leopard was startled, instinctively wanting to dodge, but a large invisible hand pressed him tightly, unable to escape, watching the golden light hit his throat, strangely feeling no pain. Instead, the transverse bone in his throat slowly shrank under a peculiar force.
Soon, the entire transverse bone completely disappeared, transforming into a liquid and flowing into his stomach. The demon leopard opened his mouth and spoke human language: "What did you do to me? Wait, I can speak human language now!"
"Nonsense! I refined your transverse bone, allowing you to speak human language. This is a small benefit from grandpa Sun! Now, can you properly answer my questions?"
"Of course, of course! Your Highness, ask whatever you want; I’ll tell you everything!"
The demon leopard nodded furiously, but his address puzzled Sun Wukong.
"Why do you call me ’Your Highness’?"
"Your Highness is from the Battle God Ape Clan’s Royal Family. Naturally, I should address Your Highness with such respect." freewēbnoveℓ.com
"Battle God Ape Clan? What’s that?"
It was the first time Sun Wukong heard about the Battle God Ape Clan. Judging by the demon leopard’s reaction, this clan seemed to hold a notable status among demons!
"Your Highness doesn’t know?"
Now it was the demon leopard’s turn to be surprised, "The Battle God Ape Clan is the Imperial Clan of our Demon Clan. Your Highness’ golden fur and aura are extremely powerful, aren’t you a Royal Family member of the Battle God Ape Clan?"
"Royal Family of the Battle God Ape Clan..."
Sun Wukong thoughtfully touched his chin. He remembered an incident in the Beast Spirit Mountain Range when a giant ape beast turned tail and fled upon seeing him, calling out the Battle God Ape Clan. It seemed the Battle God Ape Clan carried significant deterrent power among demons!
"Ahem!"
With that thought, Sun Wukong lightly coughed, assuming a solemn air, "That’s right, grandpa Sun is indeed from the Royal Family of the Battle God Ape Clan, just always wandering outside, now returning to the clan! What’s your name, demon leopard?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, I am called Leopard Three!"
"Leopard Three? So, are there Leopard One and Leopard Two?"
Sun Wukong was surprised.
"Does Your Highness know my elder brothers?"
Leopard Three was also astonished.
"... No, I don’t."
Sun Wukong was speechless, waved his hand, "Don’t get sidetracked, Leopard Three, I need you to lead the way into Heavenly Demon City. Are you willing?"
"Certainly willing, it’s my honor to guide Your Highness!"
