Chapter 1378: Chapter 603: Qin Monk Is Not Tang Seng (2)
The White Bone Demon and her companions remained still but quickly approached, reaching out to grab Xuanzang.
But before she got close, Sun Wukong acted first.
"Boom!"
The immensely powerful Jingu Bang, wrapped in the force of ten thousand thunders, came crashing down!
The young girl didn’t even have time to scream before she was smashed into a puddle of flesh.
A wisp of dark air flew out from the flesh, hastily fleeing into the distance.
Sun Wukong, with his Eyes of Golden Flame, saw it clearly but did not give chase.
Zhu Bajie was dumbstruck nearby, "Brother Monkey, you... you just killed her like that?"
"Wasn’t she just a mortal?"
Sun Wukong glanced askew at him, sneering, "Mortal? Have you ever seen a mortal dressed so glamorously in this godforsaken place, carrying a basket of steaming white rice?"
"Is there anything in that pig brain of yours besides women and food?"
Zhu Bajie was at a loss for words.
Sha Wujing silently looked at the puddle of flesh, then at the master whose expression remained unchanged, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.
Xuanzang, from start to finish, did not even lift an eyelid: "Continue on the journey."
He lightly nudged the horse’s belly, and The White Dragon Horse started walking with its four hooves, passing by that puddle of flesh without the slightest pause.
Zhu Bajie still felt a bit uneasy.
He sidled up to Sun Wukong and whispered, "Brother Monkey, was that really a demon just now?"
Sun Wukong couldn’t be bothered to respond, just snorting through his nose.
Zhu Bajie turned to Sha Wujing again.
Sha Wujing muttered, "Second Brother, if Master doesn’t say anything, why are you worried?"
One sentence, and Zhu Bajie was left utterly speechless.
Indeed.
With the Master’s character, if Brother Monkey had really made a mistake, would Master just sit idly by?
It seems that the young woman just now indeed had issues.
Zhu Bajie silently regretted, such a lovely little lady, how could she turn out to be a demon?
If she were a virtuous woman, even if not to taste her beauty, at least we could have shared a meal.
As the group continued forward.
By the roadside ahead, suddenly appeared an old woman with a cane, crying and wailing, "My son! My poor child! Where are you? Please come back!"
Seeing this, Sun Wukong was immediately amused.
He stopped, poked Zhu Bajie with his Jingu Bang, "Fool, look, your mother-in-law is here."
Zhu Bajie focused and saw it was an old woman, instantly losing interest, "Go on, it’s your mother-in-law who looks like this."
The old woman saw the master and disciples stop, her eyes darting, she crawled over hurriedly, "Dear elders, have you seen my poor daughter? She went out early to deliver food and hasn’t returned yet, my heart... is terribly anxious!"
As she spoke, she secretly sized up Xuanzang.
Her eyes were filled with greed.
Sun Wukong sneered inwardly, this demon is really getting into the act.
He couldn’t be bothered with more words, raised his Jingu Bang high, and shouted, "Demon, looking for a beating!"
The White Bone Demon was scared out of her wits!
Again?
What’s with these monks?
I clearly showed no flaws, how come they’re attacking right away?
Where’s the promised compassion?
Why are they so ruthless, killing without batting an eye!
She hurriedly transformed into a demon wind to escape.
Sun Wukong did not chase but shouted, "Still trying to run?"
His Jingu Bang shot out, striking the back of the White Bone Demon’s head.
"Bang!"
This strike was immensely powerful.
The White Bone Demon’s form shattered in mid-air, turning into a pile of bones.
Another wisp of dark air, fainter than before, fled in panic.
The Jingu Bang spun and flew back into Sun Wukong’s hand.
Zhu Bajie, having learned his lesson, looked at the pile of bones, smacking his lips, "This demon really knows how to put on a show."
Sha Wujing nodded silently, having gained a new understanding of the demon’s stupidity.
Knowing they’re no match yet still delivering themselves repeatedly, isn’t this courting death?
The team did not stop and continued on their way.
Indeed.
Not half a mile away, an old man with white hair and a sorrowful appearance rushed out from the woods by the roadside, blocking the way. "Honorable monks, please have mercy, save my wife and daughter!"
Sun Wukong couldn’t be bothered to speak further.
He stepped forward directly and swung his staff to strike.
The White Bone Demon was stunned by the unabashed killing intent in Sun Wukong’s eyes.
This is not how the script was supposed to go!
Wasn’t I supposed to accuse with tears, and then Tang Seng would feel compassion and start scolding his disciple?
She hurriedly shouted, "Saint Monk, Elder, spare my life!"
Sun Wukong coldly shouted, "Wicked demon, your acting is too fake."
Before the words finished, the Jingu Bang was already whistling through the air.
"Boom!"
The third pile of bones scattered all over the ground.
The escaping black aura had weakened to the point of almost dissipating.
Sun Wukong withdrew the Jingu Bang and turned to Xuanzang, "Master, this demon has come to die three times in a row. It must be tired of living. Why don’t we head directly to its lair and completely exorcise this reckless demon to eliminate future troubles!"
Xuanzang nodded slightly, "Permission granted."
...
White Tiger Ridge, White Bone Cave.
Inside the cave, Lady White Bone was slumped on her throne, her face as pale as paper, and her aura had weakened to the extreme.
Her face, which was once somewhat alluring, was now full of confusion.
How could this be?
Why!
Why is that Qin monk so cruel-hearted and ruthless in his methods!
Three transformations, each more pitiful than the last, yet he didn’t blink once as he watched that monkey kill me three times!
Weren’t the reports from the Buddhist Sect saying that Tang Seng was a mere mortal, unable to distinguish between humans and demons, naive and weak?
As long as I acted convincingly, I could easily drive a wedge between him and Sun Wukong, and at that point, I could reap the benefits, swallow the Qin monk, and achieve the Daluo Golden Immortal Dao Fruit!
But now...
Not only was that Qin monk not naive, but he was terrifyingly calm!
And Sun Wukong was cruel and savage, resorting to deadly force at the slightest disagreement without giving any chance for explanation!
What kind of team of saintly monks is this for fetching scriptures from the Western Heaven?
Clearly, this is a gang of bandits that emerged from Hell!
At that moment, a little demon tumbled in, "Madam! Madam! It’s not good!"
"Those... those monks have come to attack us!"
Upon hearing this, Lady White Bone sprang up from her throne, exclaiming in shock, "What?!"
Her heart was in a frenzy.
It’s over, it’s over.
If Sun Wukong finds me, how will I survive?
No, I must flee!
But before she could act.
"Boom!"
A thunderous noise erupted, the entrance of the White Bone Cave was smashed to pieces by an overpowering force.
The dazzling sunlight, mixed with the pervasive dust, surged into the dim cave.
Four figures stood against the light, like gods and demons.
Leading them was Xuanzang, sitting on the White Dragon Horse with an indifferent expression.
Behind him, Sun Wukong wielded the Jingu Bang, Zhu Bajie held the Nine-toothed Nail Rake, and Sha Wujing carried the Demon Suppressing Treasure Staff. All exuded an intense aura, nothing like monks who have renounced the world.
Lady White Bone looked at Xuanzang’s ever-calm face and couldn’t help but scream, "Who... who are you really! How can you be so ruthless, condoning your disciples’ violence, mindless slaughter! What kind of monk are you?"
Sun Wukong couldn’t help but mock, "Demon, did you really think my master is the simple mortal you could deceive? Your little eye-blocking technique is as laughable as a child’s trick in our eyes!"
"My master is the Western Envoy destined by the Heavenly Destiny of Qin, here to spread the way of Qin’s rule over all. How could a petty demon like you plot against him?"
"To be honest, from the moment you first spied on us from the shadows, your fate was already sealed. Killing your three forms was just playing along, letting you die knowing the truth."
Lady White Bone, listening to Sun Wukong’s words, stood as if struck by lightning, utterly frozen.
Qin...
Western Envoy...
Wasn’t he from the Buddhist Sect?
Her mind buzzed, and she finally understood.
So... from the start, she had been deceived by the Buddhist Sect!
What she provoked wasn’t a saint monk from the Buddhist Sect at all.
