Chapter Thirty-Six: The Pursuit of Victory
Sanzang couldn't help but nod his head when he heard it, and still reminded weakly: "You are right, but even so, you still have to be careful, after all, you only fight alone, if you accidentally fall into the path of those evil spirits, what should you do if you let you be a teacher?"
The monkey replied and jumped to the first place to climb the stairs, because there were fewer corpses on this floor, and there were no corpses lying on the stairs, so that the two of them went up to the third floor very smoothly. To the surprise of the master and apprentice, there were no bodies of any victims found on the ground on the third floor, and it seemed that under the strong attack of the demons on the first two floors, the people who entered the tower had been killed at all.
Sun Wukong gritted his teeth, and entered the door of the third floor of the pagoda with righteousness and awe, only to see the black smoke in front of him become looming, and eighteen bald-headed Arhats appeared, each holding a golden stick, and dragged it on the ground to open up the formation. However, although these arhats are dusty and strong, their faces are very hideous, and they are not good at a glance, and what makes people feel surprising is that the figures of these arhats show a strange translucent state, which makes people feel afraid when they look at them.
The monkey was not surprised, still snorted slightly, and said cynically: "Well, first the evil ghost, and then turned into an Arhat, and also formed eighteen bronze man formations, it really seems that the strength has increased greatly, but when I meet this great sage, it can be regarded as bad luck, so I think I am unlucky." ”
In the middle of the words, the eighteen arhats raised their palms with one hand, recited the Buddha's name in a low voice, and immediately danced the golden sticks, put on a posture, and swept towards the monkeys in unison. Wukong was not shocked when he saw this, and he did not change his body, and only used a single stick to face the formation of 18 bronze people. Not to mention that although these Arhats have hideous appearances, they seem to be well versed in the subtlety of the eighteen bronze formations, although they are far from being the opponents of monkeys alone, at this moment, relying on the subtlety of the formation and the advantage of numbers, they are also on a par with Wukong for a while, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.
The monkey couldn't help but sneer, and suddenly accelerated its rhythm, killing the eighteen arhats until they were numb, throwing away their armor and retreating unstoppably. Sun Wukong raised his head to the sky and roared, with ten thousand jun, he used a stick to smash directly on the golden sticks of seven or eight Arhats in front of him, and even flew straight into the air with sticks, and those Arhats were so frightened that they flew out of the sky, turned into black smoke, and poured up to the fourth floor, and the remaining few were invincible, and they also withdrew the sticks with a roar, and fled to the pavilion with them.
Sun Wukong pursued the victory, carried a stick, protected the master and went up to the fourth floor, and walked straight to the center of the floor, but he didn't see the evil thing that the black smoke transformed, the monkey couldn't help but wonder a little, and set up a pergola to search around, but he didn't find half a figure.
Just as he was thinking, the monkey received a blow to the chest, and he stepped back a few steps back, Sun Wukong couldn't help but be horrified in his heart, and stepped hard to stabilize his body, and when he looked up, he saw seven or eight black shadows flashing in the void, and they all attacked him.
Finally an enemy appeared, Sun Wukong was not surprised, he sneered: "Haha, no wonder I can't find half a figure, it turns out that I have hidden my body, and only a few afterimages have appeared, and I can have such a body style, I can be regarded as a middle master, but unfortunately this great sage is also an expert in this area, who is afraid?"
At this point, I could only hear the roar of the wind in the void, and the black shadows were like weaving, all of them were caged towards the monkeys, and the corners of Sun Wukong's mouth pulled a cynical smile, carefully identified the direction, and stabbed straight into the void with a stick.
The monkey only felt that a few huge things had smashed on the stick, and the power was so strong that he couldn't help but feel numb in his mouth, and the golden stick in his hand trembled and was about to get rid of it. At this moment, the monkey was struck several more times in the chest and abdomen, and his head fell to the sky, smashing into the ground and sinking into a deep trench.
With such a heavy blow, even Sun Wukong, who had cultivated the incorruptible body of King Kong, could not bear it, and couldn't help spitting blood from his mouth and fell to the ground, but he had been in battle for a long time, and knew that if he was passive at this moment, he might really lose his life. Thinking of this, the monkey suddenly jumped up from the ground with a harrier turned over, spun the stick indiscriminately to repel the black shadows, and suddenly pulled out the strip of cloth from his bosom and blindfolded himself.
Without the interference of this pair of naked eyes, Sun Wukong put the ability to listen to the sound and distinguish the position to the maximum, and couldn't help but be calm, sneered slightly, and suddenly he shouted, his feet hit the ground, and he rose to the sky, facing the direction where the afterimages were located, and conjured up a three-headed six-armed law body, which rotated rapidly like a spinning top, coming and going like a shuttle, crazy like a storm, and the afterimages in the opposite array obviously couldn't withstand this stormy attack, and were killed and retreated backwards.
After more than a dozen rounds of spinning and rushing, Sun Wukong suddenly appeared, swept a stick with a thunderous body, and the few afterimages that barely parried his violent attack could no longer hold on, and eight King Kong-like figures flew into the air, and their armor was cracked by the strength of the monkey, and the sword was broken, and the body was very embarrassed. They roared and looked at the murderous Sun Wukong on the ground, turned around again and turned into several black smokes, and flew towards the fifth floor at high speed.
The monkey did not take off the strip of cloth, relying on the perception ability to listen to the sound and distinguish the position, and escorted the master straight to the fifth floor, in Tang Sanzang's eyes, there was still no half of a figure in the fifth-floor pagoda, and there was not even a single afterimage in the void that shuttled back and forth.
Sun Wukong sneered, shook his head and shrugged his shoulders and said: "Ha, Fang is the Eight Great King Kongs, is it not the Four Heavenly Kings at this time?"
At this moment, there was a sudden surge of wind and thunder above the tower, giving birth to countless thunder and lightning lights, which quickly and incoherently struck down towards Wukong. Sun Wukong listened to the voice and knew what it meant, and said with disdain: "This great sage has this mixed yuan golden body, even if he doesn't dodge or dodge, if he is born and suffers a blow, what is he afraid of?"
Having said that, he really didn't dodge or dodge, and let the thunder and lightning attack his body, hitting him so that the hair on his body stood up, and the bluestone planks under his body turned into powder, but he still didn't move, as steady as Mount Tai.
Seeing that he was so powerful, there was a strange scream in the opposite array, and suddenly several majestic sword qi slashed down and swept towards Wukong. This time the momentum was too fast, it came in an instant, Sun Wukong couldn't dodge, and in a hurry, he had to use all his strength to make the stick resist such a sharp sword, and he was forced out several feet away from it so strongly to stabilize his body.
However, one move was lost, and the whole game was lost, seeing that the monkey resisted this burst of sword light, the void snorted coldly, and a cyan sword qi descended, forming a vast and powerful sword formation, which bombarded Wukong like a storm.
The monkey, seeing this, burst out of his body, letting the full screen of sword qi come to him, relying on the teleportation of the body to jump up gently, and frequently squeezed through the gaps in the sword array between the electric light and flint, and danced the Ruyi golden hoop stick straight into the void, only to hear a loud bang, as if something was broken in the void, it turned into wisps of smoke and diffuse, rolled on the spot, turned into several black smoke, and drifted away with the wind.
Sun Wukong looked disdainful and said disdainfully: "Sure enough, as my old grandson expected, a mixed yuan golden umbrella and a Qingfeng sword are really the means of the four heavenly kings, ridiculous, ridiculous, I think that when my old grandson made trouble in the heavenly palace, the four heavenly kings were broken by the magic weapon in my hand, and they were scared to the point of urine, hugging their heads and running away.
As soon as the words came out, there was an extremely unwilling roar in the void opposite, and immediately turned into several black smoke and rushed upstairs. Sun Wukong listened quietly for a moment, and then snapped his fingers leisurely and said: "Even if you know the current affairs, you will escape, and it will save me a lot of trouble for my grandson." When he had finished speaking, he brandished his stick and stepped on the wooden ladder and ran straight upstairs.
Tang San hid behind and wondered, "Wukong, didn't you say that the Four Heavenly Kings, why did you only defeat two and then you stopped?"
Wukong smiled, waved his hand and said: "Master, you are still in a dream, the two strongest magic weapons among the four heavenly kings, the Mixed Yuan Golden Umbrella and the Qingfeng Sword, were both defeated by my old grandson, and they heard my old grandson's words, and they knew that they were not opponents, so they turned into black smoke and fled." ”
"Master, time is running out, we still have to work hard to climb to the top of the tower, otherwise when the effect of your invisibility spell disappears, my grandson will still have time to take care of himself, but how can he be separated to protect you?"
Tang Sanzang nodded, so he had to cheer up, followed Wukong around the stairs, came to the sixth floor of the pagoda, looked into the door, couldn't help but be stunned, trembling hands and feet, only to see this small sixth layer of the pagoda, there are two Venerables hanging in the air, all of them are angry, the law is solemn, the one on the left is holding a sword, his eyes are sharp, his eyes are empty, the one on the right has big ears, a round head, and a jade Ruyi that is several inches long in his hand.
Seeing Sun Wukong breaking into the door, the two Venerables couldn't help but be furious, and chanted Sanskrit: "Who is coming, dare to break into the forbidden land of my pagoda, why don't you leave your life quickly?"
Wukong was slightly stunned when he heard this, immediately took off the strip of cloth, and when he saw the two Venerables in front of him, he couldn't help laughing, and said with a teasing heart: "Yo, who is my Tao, it turned out to be the two attendants of the Buddha and his old man, Manjushri and Venerable Puxian." It's a pity that you are really demonic and evil, not only are you Venerable, but you don't know the truth of my grandson, and besides, as a Venerable One, you should be compassionate and compassionate, and have the world in mind, although it is a sin that breaks into your door, but it is not a big sin, how can you leave your life behind, it is too much?"
Although these words were reasonable, the two Venerables were unmoved, their faces were empty, and they shouted sharply: "Don't talk nonsense, trespassing on the forbidden land is a capital crime, where can you be allowed to argue here?"
