Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 892 - 893 Divine General Yuan Long (Second Update!)
(PS: Got a fever, tonsillitis flared up, and it hurts terribly even to swallow. I’ve taken medicine and am planning to sweat it out in bed, so there will be only two updates today.)
"Sun Wukong, I have said before, I will never let you escape unscathed. You’ve disrupted the affairs of my Undying Heavenly Demon Clan, harmed our clan prince, and you still wish to escape unpunished? Dream on!"
"Who are you?"
Sun Wukong looked at the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan’s Domain Emperor in front of him, his brow furrowed. The power of a Domain Emperor Realm expert was indeed overwhelming. He had already used all his skills, including the newly comprehended Mysterious Heaven Nine Transformations’ Life and Death Instant, yet he still couldn’t escape from his grasp!
The gap in cultivation strength is indeed not so easily bridged!
"I am the Right Envoy Kun Du under the Undying Heavenly Demon Emperor. Since Heaven Emperor is in seclusion, I am the one protecting Heavenly Demon City! Youngster, you dare to cause trouble in Heavenly Demon City, do you really think you have a long life ahead?"
Right Envoy Kun Du looked at Sun Wukong with disdain. Sun Wukong indeed was a rare prodigy unseen in ten thousand years, but after all, his cultivation was only in the Domain Soldier Realm. In the eyes of Right Envoy Kun Du, he was just a naive kid. Geniuses can be nipped in the bud before they fully mature!
The Undying Heavenly Demon Clan and the Battle God Ape Clan are both peak clans of the Demon Clan, and have never gotten along. Now, with the Battle God Ape Clan having such a monstrous freak like Sun Wukong, even without him causing chaos in Heavenly Demon City and injuring the Heavenly Prince, Right Envoy Kun Du would never allow such a person to continue growing.
If he were to fully mature, he would undoubtedly become a serious threat to the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan!
"I, Old Sun, merely came to Heavenly Demon City to find someone and wasn’t looking for trouble! But that Heavenly Prince of yours insisted on bringing trouble to me. He sent one subordinate after another to serve as cannon fodder. Wouldn’t it be rather disrespectful if I, Old Sun, didn’t accept?"
Facing Right Envoy Kun Du, Sun Wukong, after initially frowning, quickly resumed his normal demeanor, as if the Domain Emperor expert before him wasn’t someone who could so easily take his life, but just an ordinary person.
"What a sharp-tongued demon monkey!"
Right Envoy Kun Du’s face darkened, but inwardly he was secretly amazed. It was the first time he had seen someone like Sun Wukong still banter in front of him. Was this kid not afraid of death?
Or does he have something to rely on?
"Hmph! No matter what you rely on, today I will definitely break your bones and scatter your ashes! Blame your misfortune for being from the Battle God Ape Clan!"
With a cold snort, Right Envoy Kun Du reached out towards Sun Wukong, simultaneously sealing the entire space. He wanted to see how Sun Wukong could dodge this time!
As Sun Wukong was about to be captured, suddenly, an iron rod thrust out from the side, striking hard into the palm of Right Envoy Kun Du’s large hand, shattering it directly. Right Envoy Kun Du let out a muffled groan, involuntarily stepping back a pace. He raised his eyes toward the direction the iron rod came from and his face instantly turned very grim.
"Yuan Long? It’s actually you!"
"That’s right, it’s me! Kun Du, after years unseen, you’ve really regressed, going so far as to personally deal with a junior. Aren’t you afraid of becoming a laughingstock?"
The one who intervened was Divine General Yuan Long, sent by the Battle God Monkey Emperor to protect Sun Wukong, carrying the thick iron rod on his shoulder, wearing black battle armor, looking sideways at Right Envoy Kun Du with mocking eyes.
After mocking Right Envoy Kun Du, Divine General Yuan Long turned his gaze to Sun Wukong: "So you are Sun Wukong, are you? Excellent, you’ve brought great honor to our Battle God Ape Clan! The Ape Emperor has said that I, the Divine General, am to protect you. With me here, the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan can’t harm a hair on you!"
Divine General Yuan Long’s words instantly darkened Right Envoy Kun Du’s face thoroughly. Trash! Yuan Long actually called him trash!
Abominable!
"Yuan Long, is this kid the vanguard your Battle God Ape Clan sent? Ha, having been in hiding for so many years, are you restless, no longer content being a hidden coward, wanting to stir up trouble again?"
As Right Envoy Kun Du spoke, his face suddenly turned cold, "Now the Demon Realm is the domain of the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan; Yuan Long, you’ve made the wrong decision!"
"Kun Du, you’re particularly talkative today!"
Divine General Yuan Long, somewhat impatiently waved the iron rod in his hand, "Whether or not I made the wrong decision, it’s not up to you! If you want to harm this kid, better ask my rod if it agrees!"
"Yuan Long, do you truly wish to oppose me?"
A strange light flickered in the eyes of Right Envoy Kun Du, his words spoken harshly yet seemingly lacking in resolve.
"If you want to fight, then fight, what’s with all the nonsense? If you don’t make a move, then don’t blame me for being rude!"
Divine General Yuan Long, clearly hot-tempered, glared and with a cold laugh, immediately took action, charging swiftly and swinging his rod at Right Envoy Kun Du.
"Damn it! Do you really think I’m afraid of you? Having lost to you by a single move back then, today I will reclaim that from you!"
In Right Envoy Kun Du’s hand appeared a Black Gold Great Sword, blocking Yuan Long’s rod.
Sword and rod clashed, yet bizarrely not a trace of energy was leaked, only the occasional spark at the point of contact, faintly revealing fine spatial cracks flickering about.
"Domain Emperor experts are truly formidable. Their control over power is extraordinarily solid, not a single bit of energy is wasted outside!"
Sun Wukong had retreated far away out of fear of getting caught in the crossfire between the two, only to discover that while their battle could tear the heavens and earth apart, not a bit of excess energy permeated about, indeed terrifying!
"This Old Sun needs to train diligently if he wants to fight against such experts!"
Sun Wukong secretly compared his own gap with Right Envoy Kun Du and Divine General Yuan Long, concluding that to match them, he probably needed to reach the Domain Marshal Realm, and even with his talent, it might take a hundred years.
Unless, there’s another lucky encounter!
"The real me should be inside the Heavenly Demon Mansion by now, hoping to make some discoveries! If that Right Envoy Kun Du knew I led him on a wild goose chase, he’d probably cough up blood? I better delay a bit longer, buy the real me some more time!"
Sun Wukong’s lips curled into a mischievous smile, observing the battle from behind a tree from a distance. This was actually his External Incarnation!
Meanwhile, the real Sun Wukong had, after luring Right Envoy Kun Du away from Heavenly Demon City, stealthily re-entered, effortlessly moving underground and arriving at the gate of the Heavenly Demon Mansion at the center of Heavenly Demon City.
The Heavenly Demon Mansion was the residence of the Heavenly Prince in Heavenly Demon City and also the secluded cultivation site of Right Envoy Kun Du. Earlier, Right Envoy Kun Du had burst out from this very mansion.
