A streak of golden light, like lightning, continuously shuttled and flashed through the air. It was the figure of Sun Wukong, who had broken through the seal. An unprecedented aura and divine might, so overwhelming it was almost condensing into a physical form, made it difficult to breathe.
Even without exchanging blows, Sora could clearly feel that this was an incredibly powerful opponent, more powerful than Athena, Metis, Perseus... more powerful than any god he had ever encountered before!
BOOM!!!
The golden stream of light landed on the ground with a roar. The ground cracked and trembled continuously. As the dust settled, the figure of the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, Sun Wukong was revealed.
Just like in the television shows, he was clad in magnificent purple and gold battle armor, with two long pheasant feathers on his head. The divine artifact in his hand, the Ruyi Jingu Bang, whistled through the air with mighty power, looking impossibly cool.
With rosy cheeks and a tall, lean figure, if it weren't for all that monkey fur, he would absolutely be a super handsome guy!
However, among monkeys, there was probably no one more handsome or cooler than him... sweatdrop...
He seemed to be about to say something, but just then, another strange event occurred—
VMMMMMMMM!!!!!
Another huge wave of energy radiated out. To the astonishment of the crowd, a figure gradually took shape in the sky not far away.
It was the figure of an incomparably handsome young man, manifested as a spirit body. He wore the armor of an ancient Chinese general and held a three-pointed, double-edged spear. And on his long, elegant face, there were not only two eyes, but a third vertical eye on his forehead!
"This is... the three-eyed divine general, True Lord Erlang Shen..."
Her spirit vision activated again, her normally coffee-colored pupils glowing with a fluorescent green light, Yuri couldn't help but blurt it out.
"What?!!"
Erica and the other girls' faces paled in unison. The power of the Great Sage was shocking and surprising enough. Why had a True Lord Erlang suddenly appeared now? The situation seemed to have spiraled out of control...
It was well known that in mythology, True Lord Erlang Shen and the Great Sage Sun Wukong were existences of the same level!
"Everyone, don't worry. This is not the real True Lord Erlang Shen, but a form manifested by the binding spell that sealed the Great Sage," Yuri quickly explained, seeing how nervous and agitated everyone was.
However, even though this wasn't the real True Lord Erlang Shen, it still possessed extremely powerful strength. In the past, whenever Sun Wukong was summoned to earth to help humans drive away evil dragons and was unwilling to return, it was this spirit body that forcibly brought him back.
"Because we released the Great Sage, this spirit body has likely appeared just to try and seal the Great Sage again."
Hearing Yuri's explanation, the girls finally let out a long sigh of relief. As long as this suddenly appearing fellow wasn't here to cause trouble for them, it was fine.
SWISH!!!
Just then, a sharp sound of tearing air was heard. The spirit body in the sky had finished materializing. With a flick of the three-pointed, double-edged halberd in its hand, its figure transformed into a stream of light and shot towards Sun Wukong on the ground.
"Hahaha... you impostor Yang Jian, do you think you can still control Old Sun now? Take this!"
Seeing the spirit body attacking him with immense power, Sun Wukong laughed aloud without a trace of fear. He swung the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand and swept it towards the sky.
The divine staff, originally just over a person's height, instantly extended several hundred meters and, with a roar, collided with the spirit body that had taken the form of True Lord Erlang Shen in the sky.
BOOM!!!!!
A heaven-shaking roar, and a giant fireball bloomed in the sky like a firework.
Although it was merely a spirit body, it possessed power no less than that of an ordinary god. But even so, the spirit body in the form of True Lord Erlang Shen was smashed to pieces by Sun Wukong's single strike!
After breaking the seal, Sun Wukong was just that powerful!!!
"Ahahahahaha... ahahahahaha..."
Wild and untamed, seeing the enemy defeated by his own staff, Sun Wukong was so happy and excited that he danced and jumped up and down.
Every time he had wanted to cause a little more trouble in the mortal realm in the past, it was this detestable fellow that had captured him and re-sealed him. Although it was an impostor, back then his main body was sealed and he couldn't beat it. The monkey had suffered quite a bit at the hands of this spirit body and had long held a fire of resentment in his heart. Now that it was all vented, the monkey felt incredibly satisfied.
He jumped and hopped, slapped and hit. Sora and Erica's group watched with black lines on their foreheads. How did this look like a legendary hero god? Anyone who didn't know better would think he was having an epileptic seizure!
"Hey, Sun Wukong, are you done being excited yet? We've already let you out. According to our previous agreement, let's fight now!"
Seeing Sun Wukong still not stopping after a long time, Sora interrupted him with a speechless expression.
This monkey was very powerful, and Sora himself had no confidence in taking him down. But Sora wasn't worried either; after all, he had plenty of people on his side!
Sora coveted this monkey's power and Authority very much.
Hearing Sora's voice, Sun Wukong finally stopped.
"Kid, are you sure you really want to fight Old Sun? If you all attack together, even if you defeat Old Sun, you won't get that woman's approval to obtain my Authority and power, right?"
With his left hand on his hip and his divine staff resting on the ground, Sun Wukong continued with a slightly playful look:
"Although I see something very dangerous on you, you don't think you can win against Old Sun by yourself, do you?"
"Hehehe... Kid, for the sake of you all letting Old Sun out, Old Sun won't hold it against you. How about we all go our separate ways, and from now on, we won't interfere with each other?"
His golden pupils and fire-red eyeballs, activating his Authority [Fiery-Eyes Golden-Gaze], swept across Sora and Luo Hao's group as Sun Wukong chuckled.
Monkeys are cunning by nature, not like those other single-minded gods. Although he had absolute confidence in his own strength and wouldn't lose to anyone in a one-on-one fight, he wasn't stupid enough to get into a gang fight with this whole family!
Otherwise, with the monkey's competitive and fiery temper, he would have already jumped over to fight Sora.
Sora's mouth twitched fiercely. This monkey was really the type to burn the bridge after crossing it. Just a moment ago, he was calling him "little bro" so affectionately, and now he's calling him "kid"!
A wolf from the mountains becomes arrogant once it achieves its goals. This probably described a fellow like this monkey... sweatdrop...
"Hmph, truly a wild monkey. Do you think you can leave?!"
With a cold snort, the Cult Leader was already displeased with this monkey. Hearing his arrogant tone, she only wanted to slap him to death.
"Hahaha... Fierce woman, Old Sun's [Jindouyun] can travel one hundred and eight thousand li in a single somersault. If Old Sun wants to leave, who in this world can stop me?!"
With a wild laugh, a golden cloud emerged from the ground and lifted Sun Wukong into the air, his arrogant aura becoming even more pronounced.
"You..."
At a loss for words, facing this shameless but genuinely skilled monkey, the Cult Leader was so angry that she ground her silver teeth, her delicate body trembling. Without thinking, she prepared to fly up and fight him for thirty thousand rounds.
"Calm down, Cult Leader."
It was Sora's voice. He grabbed Luo Hao, who had been enraged by Sun Wukong.
"Husband, I want to destroy that wild monkey!"
Her entire body was brimming with killing intent, but Luo Hao still stopped.
"Don't worry, we let him out precisely so we could destroy him again," Sora said with a wicked smile, gently patting the Cult Leader's fragrant shoulder.
"Kid, do you really want to fight Old Sun?"
Resting the Ruyi Jingu Bang on his shoulder and holding his equally furry chin with a furry hand, Sun Wukong, atop the Jindouyun, revealed a playful smile.
"Ah, wasn't that the agreement from the beginning? Although I don't think I can beat you, the Great Sage Sun Wukong, by myself, adding all my beautiful and capable little darlings should be about enough."
"We just need to destroy you, Great Sage. As for whether we can obtain your power and Authority, you don't need to worry about that."
Monkey, oh monkey, Sora thought, will I tell you that I have a thing going on with that woman Pandora? Will I?
Hmph, no matter what method I use, as long as I can destroy you, your Authority and power will be mine!
"So that's how it is. Interesting, interesting!"
Seeing that Sora was still determined to fight him, Sun Wukong nodded with a look of understanding.
"In that case—"
"I, Old Sun, am leaving! Hahahahaha..."
Without any hesitation, Sun Wukong threw out those words and then, riding the Jindouyun, transformed into a stream of light, disappearing over the horizon in the blink of an eye.
He left just like that, so dashingly...
