Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 529 - 508: The Devil Xi Zhao

Xi Zhao's attack was absolutely ruthless, showing no mercy. The Evil Monarch, for some reason, did not evade in time; thus, his left hand and arm were cleanly severed by Xi Zhao's Formless Vanishing. When the Evil Monarch saw his own arm and hand trace an arc of blood in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, he seemed unable to react. Staring dumbfounded at his severed limb, his eyes were filled with disbelief.

By then, Xi Zhao had already turned around; the Evil Monarch caught sight of the deep, bone-exposing wound on Xi Zhao's thigh. Before the Evil Monarch could say anything, Xi Zhao was already balancing on one leg, his body spinning as he wielded the azure ring in his hand, slashing again toward the Evil Monarch's waist. This time, the Evil Monarch's reaction was much faster. Even with his left hand gone, his speed was undiminished. His figure flickered, dodging Xi Zhao's strike.

"Xi Zhao, what are you doing? Why have you suddenly attacked me?" The Evil Monarch's face was a mix of shock and anger, yet he did not strike back at Xi Zhao. As soon as these words left the Evil Monarch's mouth, Xi Zhao also seemed taken aback. Kneeling on the ground, he gripped his Formless Vanishing and asked darkly, "I should be asking you, why did you suddenly attack me just now? Are you not the Evil Monarch?" Xi Zhao's reply also surprised the Evil Monarch.

"Me? Attack you? How could that be? Why would I attack you? On the contrary, who are you exactly?" "Of course, I am the Demon Monarch. You're saying you didn't strike me just now? I can tell you clearly that the wound on my leg was caused by you. If I hadn't moved quickly, I would already have been gutted." After saying this, Xi Zhao suddenly seemed to realize something, turned fiercely, and said to Sun Wukong with a resentful gaze, "Did you do this?"

Sun Wukong smiled and said, "Heh, how does it feel to be betrayed by one of your own? If I weren't forbidden from killing you, you would be a corpse now. Xi Zhao, wouldn't you say I just saved your life?" Xi Zhao glanced at the Evil Monarch, then looked down at his own bloody, mangled leg, his tone even more chillingly cold, "How did you manage this? I don't remember you having such an ability."

Sun Wukong chuckled again and replied, "I didn't have it before, but that doesn't mean I don't have it now. Xi Zhao, I advise you to give up. Otherwise, by the time I truly destroy all of your cultivation, it will be too late for anything." It turned out, as soon as the Evil Monarch had arrived on the battlefield using the assassin's stealth, Sun Wukong had already detected the Evil Monarch's presence. Under the scrutiny of Sun Wukong's Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes, both Xi Zhao's and the Evil Monarch's vaunted invisibility abilities were rendered utterly useless.

After spotting the Evil Monarch, Sun Wukong did not immediately attack to reveal his form, instead formulating a plan in an instant. Although Sun Wukong was still not quite as adept as Dao Zhun in manipulating space and spatial abilities, the difference was not immense, especially given the World Within the Artifact that was innate to the Jingu Bang, allowing Sun Wukong a profound understanding and mastery over time and space.

Moreover, Zhibei's assistance was another factor. After his resurrection, Zhibei had been vengefully attacked by the Flame God. Although Zhibei had lost his attack power, his defensive power was so tremendously strong that it rivaled even the Saint Armor Turtle at the same level. Thus, the series of attacks from the Flame God, though cathartic, failed to cause Zhibei any actual harm.

As soon as Sun Wukong noticed the Evil Monarch, Zhibei's voice also echoed in Sun Wukong's mind. Initially unsure about his plan, Sun Wukong became completely confident with Zhibei's assistance. The help Zhibei offered was called 'Predictive Sharing'; within the range of Zhibei's perception, he could to some extent predict the enemy's movements and share them with Sun Wukong—thus, the supposed impeccable dual assault from Xi Zhao and the Evil Monarch did not touch Sun Wukong in the slightest.

After dodging the pair's attack, Sun Wukong's figure flickered ever so imperceptibly for a moment. In that brief flicker, Sun Wukong used a Monkey Hair to create a doppelganger, which instantly disappeared into the void. Within the void, Sun Wukong's doppelganger transformed into the likeness of the Evil Monarch. Then, while the real Evil Monarch went into hiding within the void, Sun Wukong, using his reset ability, brought the Evil Monarch's perception of time and space to a standstill for just a breath's duration.

During that brief pause, Sun Wukong manipulated the doppelganger looking like the Evil Monarch to appear by Xi Zhao's side and, taking advantage of Xi Zhao's completely unguarded state, struck successfully. The attack of Sun Wukong's doppelganger wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface; the moment the dagger touched Xi Zhao's blood, the Five Elements Power within Sun Wukong surged into Xi Zhao's bloodstream like a poison, spreading wildly through his entire body.

This balance of the Five Elements' spiritual power was not actually as terrifying as it seemed because many regarded it as a completely wasted talent. However, when this balanced spiritual power of the Five Elements manifested in Sun Wukong's body, and after he had fully mastered it, such power became the deadliest poison to others. That's because if all Five Elements were gathered, the spiritual power would endlessly cycle through creation and destruction on its own. But when one type of elemental power was missing, the remaining four would absorb all possible energy from their surroundings to transform it into the missing elemental power, subsequently using the mutual generation of the Five Elements to strengthen themselves.

This was also why Wukong could be immune to all elemental attacks. If he compressed this spiritual power to an extreme degree and infused it into someone, the lacking spiritual power of the Five Elements would instinctively absorb surrounding energy to transform. If Xi Zhao didn't find a way to stop it, just this power alone could completely assimilate him into a wreck. The previous threat Wukong made to cripple Xi Zhao's cultivation wasn't just an empty threat.

Feeling the spiritual power that continued to assimilate within his body, Xi Zhao's expression grew increasingly unsightly. Looking at Wukong, Xi Zhao suddenly spoke, "Sun Wukong, did you suspect me all along?" Wukong did not seize the opportunity to attack while the Evil Monarch was injured and Xi Zhao was resisting the power of the Five Elements. After pondering seriously, he nodded his head and then shook it, saying, "It's not that I've suspected you all along, but after I obtained the Heaven and Earth Dao Eye, I could see many things in the unknown. Especially after my Heaven and Earth Dao Eye evolved into the Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes, I had already seen the shadow of the World Suppressing Stele on you. At that moment, I knew that we were destined to have a battle one day. How is it, to deal with you, I have indeed put in quite a lot of thought."

Xi Zhao gave a wry smile and shook his head, "Sun Wukong, I really underestimated you. And not just by a little. Also, that Zijing is pretty impressive as well. But, Sun Wukong, I am sure that I will be the final victor in this battle. Don't worry, I won't kill you because if you die, I will die as well. Damn that Netherworld Fortuity Fruit, if I had known about these side effects, I would never have eaten it."

As he spoke, a surge of Demonic Qi began to emanate from Xi Zhao's body. However, unlike before, the demonic energy didn't disperse but rather formed the phantom of a nine-headed serpent behind him. As the phantom of the Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent appeared, Xi Zhao took out the Annihilation Order from his bosom. Looking at the Annihilation Order in his hand, his eyes filled with reluctance, but it was swiftly replaced by resoluteness. Gripping the Annihilation Order tightly in his right hand, it shattered instantly.

When the Annihilation Order shattered, the phantom of the Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent that was hovering behind Xi Zhao suddenly plunged into the ground. Having done all this, Xi Zhao turned to look at the Evil Monarch beside him and calmly asked, "Are you willing to sacrifice for me once again?"

The Evil Monarch nodded. His expression did not shift much, and the slight trace of emotion that did exist was one of acceptance and inevitability. Dying for the Demon Monarch was not his first time.

Xi Zhao didn't say much more and lifted his right hand toward the Evil Monarch. The powder that was once the Annihilation Order circled towards the Evil Monarch. Xi Zhao heaved a sigh and slowly approached the Evil Monarch.

When he reached the Evil Monarch, Xi Zhao stepped into the black powder enveloping him without any hesitation.
