Chapter 184: Chapter 180: Battle of the Three Divine Monkeys Against the Three Xiaos

[There will be a third release in a while]

Speaking of Yuan Hong fighting to kill the God of Wealth, Zhao, it provoked the three Ladies of the Sky to join hands and battle above the South Sea.

Although this battle was not aimed at the South Sea Dragon Palace, they had also tasted enough bitterness. The sect founders fought fiercely above, causing the sky to crack and the earth to shatter. Their magical treasures were extremely formidable, and the South Sea turned into a churning upheaval. Within thousands of miles, all the fish and shrimp were shaken to death by the powerful aftershocks, floating belly-up, creating a white expanse on the sea surface. Even the Dragon Palace was shattered by the strong waves, and the foundation that the Dragon King of the South Sea had built over tens of thousands of years was destroyed in an instant.

Such is the terrifying power when sect founders fight. If Saints were to fight, not confining it to the edges of Chaos, I’m afraid this realm would crack apart.

Among the Ladies of the Sky, the eldest sister, Lady Yun Xiao, had the deepest cultivation level. She had already reached the realm of Primordial Golden Immortal during the Investiture of the Gods Period. Lady Bi Xiao and Lady Qiong Xiao were Daulo Golden Immortals and after ascending the Investiture of the Gods Platform, their cultivation levels regressed; naturally, they had to slowly cultivate back. This time, being able to fight the three Divine Monkeys to a standstill was entirely thanks to her Golden Jiao Shears and the Primordial Golden Dou, two powerful magical treasures.

Wukong entangled the Primordial Golden Dou with a plain-colored Cloud Realm Banner, preventing it from escaping. Once this magical treasure got close, getting caught by it meant there was no returning. Luckily, he had the Cloud Realm Banner in his possession. Otherwise, dealing with the three Ladies of the Sky would indeed be extremely tricky!

Wukong flipped his wrist and tucked the Great Revolution Seal into his grip, ready to strike unexpectedly and kill one on the spot, thereby securing the victory.

Lady Yun Xiao single-handedly fought both Sun Wukong and Yuan Hong, while Lady Qiong Xiao relied on the Golden Jiao Shears to battle Wu Zhiqi alone.

The staff techniques of Sun Wukong and Yuan Hong were extremely cunning, moving unpredictably left and right, up and down. But fortunately, Lady Yun Xiao had a deep cultivation level and many magical treasures; after all, she was once a disciple of the Tong Tian Sect Founder under the Sect of Jie Taoist.

Suddenly, Lady Yun Xiao summoned a huge hammer. When this hammer struck down, it brought electric chaos energy overflowing, shattering the void piece by piece, with immense power. Sun Wukong tried to withstand it with his Creation Heavenly Mechanism Staff only to feel his arms go numb, as he was shaken and forced to retreat repeatedly.

Yuan Hong rushed forward, executing a sweeping strike. Lady Yun Xiao’s hammer came down to block, but Yuan Hong flicked his wrist, performing a stick flower the size of a bowl, and the stick suddenly stopped. Then, lifting upward, his body twisting, he executed a "Lifting the Lamp to View the Sword" strike against Lady Yun Xiao’s lower jaw.

Yuan Hong, honed over 120,000 years, wielded his staff technique as the best in the world, incorporating elements of swordsmanship, knife technique, and other eighteen types of martial arts weaponry, truly unpredictable and formidable.

Lady Yun Xiao was secretly shocked in her heart, finding Wukong’s staff technique so bizarrely powerful. Not daring to be careless, she flew backwards. At the same time, she threw her great hammer straight at Yuan Hong’s crown, but he was utterly fearless. Extending his arms and wielding the iron staff, he struck the descending hammer, retreating three steps himself, but sending the hammer flying away.

Sun Wukong, using the Creation Heavenly Mechanism Staff, summoned the Mountain-moving Divine Ape, which bellowed heavenward and opened its arms wide to grasp Lady Yun Xiao.

Annoyed in her heart, Lady Yun Xiao raised her Treasured Sword and danced it about, sending over a hundred streaks of Sword Qi towards the Mountain-moving Divine Ape’s long arms. Hundreds of Sword Qi struck down, grinding the Divine Ape’s arms to powder, and then a particularly strong Sword Qi thrust directly at Sun Wukong’s throat!

"Damn it, Yuan Hong and I still can’t take down this woman? It’s infuriating!" Sun Wukong cursed inwardly, but his staff moved as swiftly as ever, fiercely blocking that fierce Sword Qi.

The Tong Tian Sect Master was recognized as the supreme master of the Sword Dao. His disciples, mostly swordsmen themselves, wielded their swords proficiently. If one could not wield a sword, could they truly be called the Tong Tian Sect Master’s disciple? The Tong Tian Sect Master’s Slaying Immortal Four Swords were famous throughout the world, known and feared by all, and just hearing the Tong Tian Sect Master’s fearsome reputation could chill one’s heart.

Yuan Hong yelled loudly, his muscles bulging. He lifted his staff, Lady Yun Xiao summoned her hammer to block, but he was undaunted. It seemed he had grown even more fierce, his eyes turning blood-red as he swung his Heaven-reaching Rod so fast it blurred, casting a shower of staff shadows down, shattering the void. Sparks the size of beans burst forth where the great hammer and the Heaven-reaching Rod met.

With every clash with the hammer, Yuan Hong felt his arms go numb, the base of his palms almost splitting.

But he did not stop; instead, each subsequent strike grew even stronger! Yuan Hong’s palms were shattered from the vibrations, blood streaming freely, while Lady Yun Xiao was secretly alarmed by the immense force; the Throng Tribe truly had extraordinary gifts, and their physical bodies were terrifyingly powerful.

The great hammer also acquired dents and indentations, inside which the True Spirit quivered violently.

Yuan Hong, driven by rage, bellowed, "Adah!"

He executed the ’Force Split Mount Hua’ technique with such a force that it must have been tens of millions of pounds. With each descent of his staff came afterimages that struck the great hammer, causing an enormous "boom." The hammer burst apart as if a ripe watermelon had been smashed with a stone.

"Hmm..." Yunxiao felt a sweetness in her throat, and her Primordial Spirit briefly blurred.

The magical treasure she had cultivated for long had just been violently shattered by Yuan Hong, an outcome she found hard to believe!

Although Yuan Hong had destroyed the great hammer, he had injured himself in the process. His hands weakened, and he could no longer hold his Heaven-reaching Rod. He retreated, giving the battlefield over to Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong did not let Yuan Hong down. Holding the Great Creation Heavenly Mechanism Staff, he swung it effortlessly. As Yunxiao’s Primordial Spirit cleared up, she saw countless staff shadows enveloping the area, the immense pressure was daunting.

"Clang!"

With a quivering sound, the sword was unsheathed, landing in Yunxiao’s hands. The Sword Qi crisscrossed, encasing her body. Staff shadows fell on the thin membrane of Sword Qi, creating a series of pleasant, ringing trembles as if in a blacksmith’s shop. Sun Wukong’s movements sped up, and the number of staff shadows increased. Yunxiao inwardly groaned. If the battle continued this way, she might hold out for a while, but would eventually be exhausted. This monkey’s brute strength was too overwhelming, and she feared she might not last long.

"Bang!"

This strike was solid, shattering the thin membrane of Sword Qi, and then the staff hit landed on Yunxiao’s shoulder.

"Crack!"

Yunxiao’s shoulder was smashed into a bloody mess, her bones shattered, and she fell down. Bi Xiao was shocked and quickly released eighteen Thunder Beads to push Wu Zhiqi back. Then she summoned the Golden Jiao scissors, scattering golden light downward to drive back the victorious Sun Wukong, and wrapped Yunxiao to retreat back to safety.

"Big sister, are you alright?" Bi Xiao asked with concern.

"I’m fine! Be careful!" Yunxiao shouted.

Wu Zhiqi and Sun Wukong had joined forces and charged in, transforming the staff into hundreds of feet long and bringing it down with a thunderous crash, as if a Heavenly Pillar had collapsed.

"Sun Wukong, stop your recklessness!" A loud shout was heard and a streak of sword light swooshed down.

By now, Sun Wukong was no longer what he used to be. He recognized that this was the Immortal Slaying Sword of Real Man Yuding, and the newcomer had to be Yang Jian. He snorted coldly, and could no longer swing his staff. If he did, his throat would likely be cut by the sword light. He hurriedly shrank his staff and positioned it horizontally to protect his throat.

"Clang!"

Indeed, the sword light fell onto the Great Creation Heavenly Mechanism Staff, leaving a white mark, and Sun Wukong also stepped back repeatedly.

The outcome remains uncertain, so stay tuned for the next part. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote on qidian.com with recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
