Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 495 - Buddha’s Surprise Attack (4th Update!)

(PS: Starting from tomorrow, updates will be at exactly 12 noon. Thank you all for your support!)

“Dragon Cat, you really can sleep, only coming out now…”

Sun Wukong gave a wry smile. When other people tamed divine beasts as contract partners, they could rely on them at crucial moments. Why did he have to choose such a gluttonous and sleepy divine beast partner?

Wrong, it seemed that Dragon Cat had actively latched onto him!

However, on second thought, despite spending his days eating and sleeping, Dragon Cat’s cultivation had progressed incredibly fast. If Sun Wukong wasn’t mistaken, Dragon Cat should have reached the Quasi-Saint Realm of Slaying Three Corpses by now, even higher than Sun Wukong’s own cultivation!

“Boss, who exactly hurt you like this? I’ll avenge you!”

Seeing Sun Wukong’s pale face, Dragon Cat was filled with rage, a rare ferocious expression appearing on its little face.

“It was that baldy! Do you want to avenge me? Alright, go and take him down!”

Sun Wukong struggled to raise his hand, pointing towards Ran Deng Buddha, who floated above the heavens. Following the direction of his finger, Dragon Cat’s brows immediately furrowed.

“Ran Deng Buddha? Him? Boss, was it him who injured you? Alright you baldy, you dare hurt my boss, watch how Grandpa Dragon Cat teaches you a lesson!”

Whoosh!

Moving swiftly, Dragon Cat soared into the sky, charging towards Ran Deng Buddha, and spat out a circle, aiming it right at Ran Deng’s head.

“What beast is this? Seeking death!”

Ran Deng Buddha had never seen Dragon Cat before; by its unremarkable appearance, it didn’t look threatening at all, and no one would guess that it was a divine beast, let alone one at the Quasi-Saint Realm of Slaying Three Corpses!

Swinging the Demon-Subduing Pestle in his hand, Ran Deng Buddha casually struck down on Dragon Cat. In his view, this cat with a dragon’s head could be smashed into powder with one hit.

Clang!

The Demon-Subduing Pestle struck Dragon Cat heavily, but bizarrely, it bounced back as if it had hit something elastic. Dragon Cat’s belly indented from the blow but quickly rebounded, leaving him completely unharmed!

“What?”

Ran Deng Buddha was shocked, his figure swayed by the rebounding force from the pestle, and his face showed a trace of astonishment. In the next moment, he was completely enveloped by the semi-transparent circle spat out by Dragon Cat, trapping him tightly!

A powerful corrosive force surged from the circle, invading Ran Deng Buddha’s body. Even the Protective Buddha Light seemed unable to resist this corrosive power, leaving Ran Deng both shocked and angry.

“You scoundrel, get away from me!”

A terrifying burst of Buddha Primordial Force suddenly exploded forth, breaking the semi-transparent circle apart. Brilliant Buddha’s Light flung Dragon Cat outwards, sending it tumbling through the air. After stabilizing its form, Dragon Cat scurried back to the ground in fright and hid in Sun Wukong’s arms, its little face filled with terror.

“Oh my dear! How did that baldy Ran Deng turn into a Heavenly Dao Saint? So scary, I nearly died!”

Right now, Dragon Cat looked utterly cowardly, a stark contrast to its earlier furious and indignant demeanor, making Sun Wukong roll his eyes in annoyance. To reach the Quasi-Saint Realm of Slaying Three Corpses and still be so timid—what kind of divine beast was this?

“Dragon Cat, what was that circle you spit out earlier? It seems like Baldy Ran Deng suffered a bit from it!”

Sun Wukong looked at Ran Deng Buddha in the sky. Despite the intense collision of forces just now, Ran Deng’s Buddha’s Kasaya remained intact. But just being covered by Dragon Cat’s transparent circle for such a short time made it look tattered like a beggar’s rag—Dragon Cat’s circle was definitely no ordinary thing!

“Hehe, that’s my Divine Trapping Circle! Below the Heavenly Dao Saint, one trap per person! No Protective Divine Light or Defensive Magical Treasure can resist it; they will be corroded completely clean. Don’t even think about escaping without losing at least half your life!”

As he mentioned the transparent circle he had spat out, Dragon Cat’s eyes suddenly lit up, his face overflowing with a proud expression, but his tone quickly became despondent. “I originally thought it would trap that bald Ran Deng and teach him a lesson for revenge on your behalf, boss, but I didn’t expect he had already broken through to the Heavenly Dao Saint! Boss, what in the world is happening?”

“The third Infinite Calamity has begun!”

Sun Wukong shook his head, and was about to say something more when his expression suddenly changed. He quickly pushed Dragon Cat to the side, “Be careful!”

Boom!

A golden giant palm descended from the sky and harshly struck down on Sun Wukong. The ground once again cracked open, and Sun Wukong’s blood-stained body, mixed with large chunks of broken stones, fell toward the Lower Realm.

It was Tathagata Buddha!

Tathagata Buddha, who had been silently watching and healing at the side, made his move!

With a sneak attack as his opening move, Sun Wukong, already at his weakest, couldn’t withstand it at all. Struck by the palm, most of the bones in his body were shattered, and many of his channels also burst, severely wounding him!

“Boss!”

Dragon Cat cried out in alarm, flipped over, and rushed into the gaping hole, flying like a bolt of lightning beneath Sun Wukong. His body suddenly swelled, and with his soft belly, he caught Sun Wukong.

“Cough cough!”

Sun Wukong started coughing violently, golden saintly blood continuously flowed from the corners of his mouth, staining Dragon Cat’s belly a wide swathe.

“Boss, are you alright?”

Dragon Cat panicked, witnessing Sun Wukong hurt so badly for the first time. Anger surged from the depths of his heart, dispelling the fear inside. With a fierce glare, Dragon Cat wanted to rush up and fight Tathagata Buddha to the death.

“Dragon Cat, don’t be impulsive! You are no match for him!”

Sun Wukong gasped twice, wiped the corners of his mouth, and grasping a tuft of fur on Dragon Cat’s belly, he hoarsely said, “Hurry and run, as far as you can, get everyone to flee, leave old Sun behind!”

Although Dragon Cat was a Divine Beast and had attained the Slaying Three Corpses Quasi-Saint Realm, the gap between him, Tathagata Buddha, and Ran Deng Buddha was still as vast as the heaven and the earth. Without reaching the Saint Realm, it was impossible to compete with a Saint Realm powerhouse. Sun Wukong saw this from his own experience; he had used all his strength and revealed all his moves, yet he still lost to Ran Deng Buddha!

To stay would mean only death, not just for him, but for Dragon Demon and all the brothers from Flower-Fruit Mountain—none would escape!

“No way, boss, I can’t leave you behind!”

Dragon Cat shook his head, tears brimming in his eyes. “We signed a contract, to live and die together!”

‘To live and die together, huh? Then you can die together!'”

A snort came from the sky above, and Tathagata Buddha’s golden Buddha Palm from the vault of heaven harshly slapped down towards Sun Wukong and Dragon Cat. Where it passed, space trembled.

The shadow of death surged wildly into Sun Wukong’s heart!

This time, he feared he truly couldn’t avoid it!
