Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 517 - 499: Thunder Cannon at Full Power
The red light came too swiftly, Sun Wukong only felt a blur before him, followed by a wave of intense pain. Looking down, he saw an empty hole the size of a thumb in his left chest, and through this hole, he could even see the sky behind. The red light had completely pierced through Sun Wukong's torso, exiting through his heart. Simultaneously, the remaining eight beams of red light swept past Sun Wukong and flew towards the Rogue Heart Sword Hero and the others.
The reason Sun Wukong was hit first by the red light was that he was the closest to the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon on the ground, while the Rogue Heart Sword Hero and the other eight had all soared backward after receiving Sun Wukong's order, hence they were some distance from the cannon. But, this seemingly short distance was as if it were nothing under that red light. By the time Sun Wukong felt the severe pain in his chest and looked down, those eight beams of red light were about to hit their respective targets.
The eight beams of light not only moved incredibly fast, they also possessed the ability to automatically track and lock onto their targets, making it impossible for the Rogue Heart Sword Hero and the Dragon Emperor, among others, to dodge; they could only withstand the hit. The horror of the red light was evident to all as it had directly pierced through Sun Wukong's heart, indicating its immense strength. Just as everyone was hanging by a thread, Dao Zhun, who had been under Ye Zi's healing, suddenly vanished into thin air. At the same time, eight Dao Zhuns appeared in the sky, each materializing in front of the eight individuals including the Rogue Heart Sword Hero.
Dao Zhun's arrival saved the eight of them, but the price he paid was enormous, so great that Sun Wukong found it unbearable. The speed of those eight beams of red light was unmatched, and their ability to lock onto targets made evading impossible. It seemed that nothing but the World Suppressing Stele could possibly withstand them. Yet, in that instant, Dao Zhun had saved their eight lives.
However, once the dreadful attack of the eight beams of red light had passed, the figures of the eight Dao Zhuns suddenly vanished, only for Dao Zhun to reappear in front of Ye Zi, this time gravely injured. Ye Zi rubbed her eyes in disbelief, then let out a cry of shock. Dao Zhun was covered in blood, and even more, had eight clear holes from which blood was ceaselessly flowing out.
These eight bloody holes were, without doubt, caused by those same eight beams of red light: three in the abdomen, two on the left shoulder, and three in the chest. Among the three chest wounds was one that had also pierced Dao Zhun's heart. If it were not for the fact that Dao Zhun's true form, the Bodhi supreme treasure, possessed formidable life force, just those eight wounds would have been enough to kill him on the spot. Even so, Dao Zhun was now on the brink of death.
In response to the gasps of shock, someone quickly pressed their hands on Dao Zhun's chest, trying to replenish the life force that was rapidly draining from him with their own. But inside, they felt an overwhelming desolation, as without some miracle, Dao Zhun was likely beyond saving. After their initial astonishment, the Rogue Heart Sword Hero and the others quickly realized what had occurred and immediately flew toward Ye Zi's location. They then formed a protective circle around Dao Zhun and Ye Zi at the center.
Flame God had witnessed the eruption of the nine beams of red light and thus immediately abandoned his attack on Zhibei, turning full force to fly towards Sun Wukong. However, his speed was no match for the red light, and by the time Flame God was a kilometer away from Sun Wukong, the beam had already pierced through him and dissipated into the void. All Flame God could do was catch Sun Wukong's falling body.
Seeing that his long-planned strike had only achieved such minimal effect, Xi Zhao couldn't help but shake his head. He had prepared for this attack for a long time, and originally, he had planned for the nine beams of red light to take out at least six or seven of the strong adversaries, if not all nine. However, only Sun Wukong and Dao Zhun ended up bearing the brunt of the attack, much to Xi Zhao's regret. It seemed he had underestimated Dao Zhun, the super strong entity who had taken part in that battle.

Ever since Xi Zhao had taken out the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon, he had been preparing this strike. His dialogue with the Thunder Cannon back when he first activated the weapon was deliberate, a haggling charade intended to mislead everyone. He wanted them to believe that the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon's three attacks at seventy percent power were the limit of what Xi Zhao could bear. After these three shots were fired, not only did the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon fall silent, but Xi Zhao also appeared quite drained, with only a fraction of his spiritual energy remaining.
Hence, Sun Wukong and the rest were under the impression that the three attacks from the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon were the maximum intensity that Xi Zhao could handle, especially knowing that the weapon was seen as a Forbidden Artifact by the Law Enforcers. Its mere presence here was unbelievable enough; an unleashing of its full might risked detection by the Law Enforcers, which would be playing with fire for Xi Zhao. It was this line of thought that led everyone to overlook the fact that the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon was still on the ground during the subsequent battle. Moreover, the Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent summoned by Xi Zhao certainly distracted everyone's attention.
Moreover, Xi Zhao had done one thing very well, which was that the Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent he summoned, after fusing with the giant snake, was not overwhelmingly strong and unbeatable, but precisely within the limits that everyone could bear. Therefore, when eight people faced off against the eight snake heads, they completely dominated the fight. This further lulled everyone into a false sense of security because if the Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent showed too much combat power, that would have made everyone suspicious.
After unleashing three attacks of the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon, Xi Zhao was left with only twenty to thirty percent of his spiritual power. If the Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent summoned with that meager amount of spiritual power turned out to be unbeatably strong, that would have been too fake. Thus, an Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent that was neither invincible nor weak was the most reasonable. In fact, Xi Zhao's approach proved to be perfect. All of them, under Xi Zhao's guidance, completely overlooked the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon,
especially when the eight snake heads were all severely wounded, and Sun Wukong burst out with that incredibly powerful Myriad Demons Shatter Heaven Art, everyone believed the battle was about to end. Even though it was unclear what was happening on Ling Weiyang's side, the might of that strike was enough to kill both the largest snake head and Xi Zhao inside it. No one thought that Xi Zhao would have any capacity to resist under such an attack. That's why, when they heard Sun Wukong's voice, they turned and retreated without hesitation.
As Sun Wukong's starlight-transformed Jingu Bang pierced through the giant snake in an instant, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It was at this moment that the opportunity Xi Zhao had been desperately waiting for finally arrived. Nine paths of the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon, with ninety percent might, exploded at once, and Sun Wukong, bearing the brunt, was pierced through the chest by the first attack. Yet, the remaining eight attacks were all somehow blocked by Dao Zhun. Had Dao Zhun lost his mind?
But whatever Xi Zhao might have been thinking, that attack had ended. Yet Xi Zhao was unwilling to accept it. He had paid such a heavy price, even sacrificing the Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent, but all he managed to do was kill Dao Zhun and Sun Wukong. That was not what he wanted. Thus, Xi Zhao clenched his teeth as he reappeared behind the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon while watching Ling Weiyang, who was still engaged in a bloody battle with the Nine Decisions Vajra Ape.
Meanwhile, his left hand pressed against the back of the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon, and with his right hand, he beckoned to the void. The Burning Fire Stele, originally embedded in the forehead of the Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent, streaked a red light across the sky and affixed itself onto Xi Zhao's right palm.
Taking a deep breath, Xi Zhao suddenly erupted with a strong suction force that was entirely focused on the Burning Fire Stele. Influenced by Xi Zhao's suction, the Burning Fire Stele burst forth with intense flames. Xi Zhao's right hand, pressing on the Burning Fire Stele, instantly turned into a skeletal hand as the terrifying flames reduced the flesh and blood to nothingness.
Immediately afterward, a visible stream of bright red spiritual power flowed along Xi Zhao's right arm into his body. As this scorching fire attribute spiritual power flowed through, Xi Zhao's right arm and body instantly turned red, and his flesh began to melt at an observable rate. However, the fire attribute spiritual power did not stay within his body for long; it flowed back into the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon.
When all of the spiritual power had transferred into the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon, a third of Xi Zhao's flesh had already vanished. His left hand, pressed on the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon, was dissolving at a visible rate as well.
Enduring pain that could drive one insane, Xi Zhao squeezed out a sentence through clenched teeth: "Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon at full power, attack!" (To be continued.
