MTL - The Monkey King-Chapter 748 : Praying mantis catches cicadas

   On the long stone steps, a monk kicked his trousers and climbed hard. Already sweating profusely.

   Puxian walked out of the pavilion slowly and reached out to stop him.

"What happened?"

  The monk looked at Puxian in a panic, and after a brief stupor, he quickly took a step back, bowed and saluted, "Reporting to the venerable Puxian, something happened, and my face was torn."

   "Oh? Your face is torn?" Lingji walked out of the pavilion excitedly and asked casually, "What about the demon monkey and Xuanzang?"

   "No..." The monk said hesitantly, "It's that demon monkey and Patriarch Subhuti."

   Hearing this, Lingji couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

   Puxian turned his head and smiled faintly: "Look, things may not go as expected. Maybe... this is just the beginning. There will be many unexpected developments."

  …

  The golden hoop swept across, and the clouds in the entire sky were swept out of ripples. Uncontrollable and unwilling to control the spiritual power raging in every corner, surging and surging. The sparked lightning raged back and forth in the sky. Although it was a sunny day, it was already like a violent storm.

   The Taoist disciples in the Xieyue Sanxingdong cave hid hundreds of miles away, but they could still clearly feel the intensity of the battle.

   In the face of all this, I am afraid that no one in the world can do anything...

   In the distant sky, two golden lights collided. In just an instant, the fluctuations that were so strong that they distorted the light and shadow had come to the side, so that they had to reach out to cover them one by one.

   The distance of a whole hundred miles, even they are immortal cultivators, if they are mortals, I am afraid they would have died directly.

  …

   In the sky, Lao Jun approached the battlefield little by little with his long beard.

  The fierce wind swept past him, blowing his temples. Under the violent airflow and the colliding spiritual power, the clouds and mist beside him were generated at an extremely fast speed, and were quickly blown away. The battle situation has already entered the heat, however, Lao Jun seems not to be in a hurry at all.

  …

   "Your Majesty!" Li Jing hurriedly rushed into the imperial study. The Xianjia and even the Jade Emperor present were stunned for a moment.

   "Your Majesty! The demon monkey and the six-eared macaque fought!"

   "Fighting again?" Taibaijinxing, who was standing beside the dragon's case, straightened his back and said, "It's not the first time, what's there to worry about?"

   Li Jing frowned slightly and said, "This time is different, they fought in Xieyue Sanxingdong."

   "Xieyue Sanxingdong?" For a while, those immortals were a little stunned.

The Jade Emperor stroked his long beard and asked hesitantly, "What about Patriarch Subhuti?"

  …

   At this very moment, in the center of the battlefield that was like a violent storm, Subhuti was still standing dumbfounded.

  The wind blew sand and gravel past him, destroying everything it touched. The terrain beneath his feet was constantly changing in this fierce battle.

  However, Subhuti was still standing there, his brows furrowed, as if he was already a little flustered.

   "Master! Help me—!" A voice sounded in his mind.

   Looking up, he saw that the six-eared macaque was dragged by the monkey, and was heavily thrown from the sky, hitting the ground instantly causing ripples like waves. He couldn't help but startled, and the hand holding the whisk was slightly clenched.

   "I slaughtered you this scourge today, slaughtered you bastard—!"

   Before Subhuti could react, the monkey had already stabbed from top to bottom, and the golden hoop suddenly stretched and stabbed heavily at the place where the six-eared macaque fell.

  Suddenly, the ground beneath Subhuti's feet trembled violently.

   "Why do you! I'm also Monkey King! Why must it be me who was taken away by the robbery?"

   "Just because I'm your grandfather—!" Without the slightest hesitation, the monkey jumped into the sand waves provoked by the six-eared macaque. Immediately afterwards, there was a violent roar—they were fighting underground!

   Looking around, the whole earth is rolling like the sea in a storm. The valley instantly swelled into a mountain range, and was flattened in an instant. The river turned into a waterfall, and then stopped at the next moment. In their eyes, the rolling mountains and rivers are actually made of tofu.

  The whole world is trembling, if they are allowed to go on, maybe they will fight all the way to the underworld...

   At this moment, the faces of everyone present were faintly purple.

   This is a fierce battle that has never happened before, even more than 600 years ago. There is no restraint between the two top walkers, and the collision of pure force!

  …

   In Notre Dame Palace, Yang Chan stared blankly at the trembling tea cup on her desk. She turned around abruptly, and saw that every building in the Lion and Camel Kingdom was shaking outside the window, and the monsters were rushing to flee.

"What happened?"

A demon general quickly appeared behind Yang Chan, bowed his hands and said: "Mr. Qi, it seems to be coming from the direction of Xieyue Sanxing Cave. The great sage seems to have ordered people to go out today, which is going to Xieyue Sanxing Cave. ."

   Hearing this, Yang Chan's eyes narrowed into a slit.

   "Find out what happened?"

   "No!"

  …

With the roar of   , the six-eared macaque rose into the sky and hovered in the center of the sky.

   He held the iron soldier trembling slightly, the armor on his body was already torn apart, and his body was even more scarred. He breathed heavily, looking down at the expression with a hint of fear.

  The whole world is quiet.

   A gust of wind swept past, sweeping away the sand and dust below, slowly revealing the figure of the monkey.

   On the pile of rubble, he was holding a golden cudgel, and his clothes were also in tatters. The difference is that there are not many scars to be seen.

   Every hair was standing on end, and he stared at the six-eared macaque with wide eyes and a ferocious face. The blood on the forehead, the fangs in the mouth, and the maniacal smile revealed a strong killing intent.

   "Hehehe, what? Don't dare to fight? Didn't you just say you want to replace Lao Tzu?"

   The six-eared macaque trembled slightly, and its gaze slowly turned to Subhuti not far away.

   A voice resounded in Subhuti's mind.

   "Master, help me. If I die, who else will protect Master Xuanzang?"

   Hearing this, Subhuti's body trembled slightly. His gaze slowly slanted to the monkey standing on the gravel pile.

   and Subhuti looked at each other, and the monkey moved lightly, assuming a defensive posture.

   "I can continue westward, but he must die. Also, you must agree to all the conditions I mentioned!"

   At this very moment, Subhuti's eyes were flickering slightly.

  Not far away, Lao Jun is watching silently with his long beard.

  …

   "Reporting to Venerable Qi, the six-eared macaque and the demon monkey moved their hands in the Xieyue Sanxingdong Cave, and they seem to be ready to fight to the death."

  Suddenly, all the Buddhas in the hall were in an uproar.

   "It seems a bit..."

   "It seems that Patriarch Subhuti got away with it."

   "A demon monkey is a demon monkey. Its inferiority is hard to tame. When you bet on the demon monkey, today's result is already doomed."

   "Today, it seems that Venerable Ksitigarbha's move was really high!"

   In the chaos, everyone's eyes turned to King Jizo. However, he just stood silently and motionless.

  The monk who came to report raised his head and said, "Your Highness, if they are allowed to fight like this, the entire Xiniu Hezhou may be destroyed. Isn't it..."

   said, he quietly looked up at the Tathagata.

   All eyes were focused on the Tathagata.

   After a long time, Tathagata slowly shook his head and said, "Don't do it."

  …

"Master, as long as you help me, the disciple swears that in this life and this life, only the master's life will be obeyed!" The six-eared macaque gritted its teeth and said, "As long as you are willing to help me, master, the great cause of the westward journey will be half-successful! Without him, all The demon clan will obey me!"

  Subhuti was still hesitating, his gaze back and forth between the monkey and the six-eared macaque.

  Monkey took a step back slowly and clenched the golden hoop.

   Bean-sized sweat drops dripped from his forehead.

  If the six-eared macaque and Subhuti join forces, there is only one way left for him to go. That is, immediately regain the cultivation base of Heavenly Dao! As long as he climbs to the top of the heavenly path again, then Subhuti's help can be ignored. But... if he does, he will have to face the Tathagata...

Seeing Subhuti's hesitation, the six-eared macaque suddenly shouted: "Master! The opportunity must not be missed and never come again! If you keep him, will he continue westward according to your ideas? Only disciples, only disciples will completely obey orders. For you!"

   For a moment, Subhuti seemed to have an idea. Holding the whisk, he slowly turned to the monkey, his mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

   However, at this moment, Lao Jun's figure stood in front of the monkey and smiled faintly.

   For a while, the three people present, and even Qing Xin, who was still far away, were stunned.

  …

   In the Great Leiyin Temple in the West, the Tathagata opened his eyes and slowly frowned.

   "Lao Jun?"

   The Buddhas in the temple opened their eyes in unison, as if thinking of something.

  …

   "Lao Jun intervened?" The Jade Emperor's eyes slowly rolled.

  The imperial study was dead silent.

  …

In the pavilion, Puxian raised his head slightly and looked at the top of the mountain, and sighed softly: "The mantis is behind the cicada and the oriole. In fact, who is the mantis and who is the oriole, it will not be known until the end."

  …

   A gust of breeze blew past, and the sand and dust swayed a wonderful track on the ground like a receding tide.

   Laojun smiled faintly and looked at Subhuti. Those eyes gradually became deep and unfathomable!

   At this moment, Subhuti's eyes widened and he looked at Laojun with some astonishment.

  …

   In the Miluo Palace, the Tongtian Sect Master and Yuanshi Tianzun silently looked at each other and were stunned.

"It's a good move to retreat, it's beautiful, really beautiful!" For a long time, Tianzun Yuanshi raised his head and sighed helplessly: "Accepting a pure heart as a disciple, for more than 600 years, he has mediocre fame and fortune, and he doesn't care about world affairs. Hahaha... I have cheated. Everyone, it made us forget that the monkey wants to defeat the Tathagata, but there is another trick.

  The Master of Tongtian spat fiercely: "This old fox!" (To be continued~^~)
