Chapter 104: Sun Wukong is Captured

  A few days later, Sun Wukong was drinking wine listlessly in the great hall of Water Curtain Cave.

  Suddenly, a little monster rushed in, rolling and crawling to kneel under the hall, with a flustered expression loudly shouting: "Great Sage Grandfather, something big has gone wrong! Four heavenly generals who claim to be the Four Great Heavenly Kings are calling for battle outside our mountain stronghold, saying that you didn't even fight at first but burned our Flower Fruit Mountain with one fire."

  Sun Wukong calmly drank a bowl of wine, turned his head and said displeased: "What's the panic? When the sky falls, there is King me watching, looking at your little reputation."

  As soon as he finished speaking, a magnificent and majestic cloak appeared on his body, and with a wave of his sleeve, he walked out of the Water Curtain Cave.

  As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the Water Curtain Cave, Sun Wukong heard the shouts and curses of the Four Heavenly Kings. With a flash of golden light under his feet, he vanished from in front of the cave and reappeared standing steadily on the mountain stronghold.

  "The four big turtles, what's wrong with you today? You actually dare to come to the foot of my Flower Fruit Mountain and challenge me, are you tired of living?" Sun Wukong shouted with extreme disdain.

  The Four Heavenly Kings heard this and the shouting suddenly stopped, they all looked at Sun Wukong with anger but did not dare to fight. However, if this matter were to be done, it could not be said, for if it were to spread to the heavenly court, where would their four faces be placed?

  The most impulsive of the Four Heavenly Kings, Mo Li Hong, suddenly appeared and angrily shouted: "What do you mean by not daring to fight? My four brothers and I simply don't want to see the beautiful scenery and living beings of Dongsheng Divine State being destroyed because of this demon ape, so we surround but don't attack. Do you understand?"

  Sun Wukong said disdainfully: "You don't dare, just say you don't dare, but instead make up all sorts of excuses. You gods are just too full of twists and turns!"

  Mo Tianwang, the Demon King, was about to say something when Chi Guo Tianwang, the Demon King, gave him a restraining glance and said: "The Great Sage's magical powers are formidable, his divine abilities astonishing. My four brothers and I are inferior to him, but for the sake of the righteous energy of heaven and earth, even if we can't defeat him, my four brothers and I will still fight against the Great Sage."

  Sun Wukong heard this, and a few threads of doubt flashed in his eyes. What kind of people are these four heavenly kings? He still had some understanding of them, not to say that they were afraid of death, but at least they could be said to have no courage to fight hard battles. Today's performance by the four heavenly kings was strange and tight.

  Sun Wukong pulled out the Golden Cudgel and struck it violently, emitting a piercing shriek. Then he shouted loudly: "Don't hide anymore, show yourself! With just these four great turtles, you still dare not to fight against me, the king of this Flower Fruit Mountain? Do you really think I'm a fool?"

  After Sun Wukong finished speaking, the faces of the Four Heavenly Kings turned iron-gray. They looked at each other, not knowing what to say next.

  At this time, a wave-like ripple arose in the void, and the Buddha's light flashed. In the air appeared three lotus platforms, on which sat Guanyin, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra, the three Bodhisattvas.

  Sun Wukong's heart sank, but his face didn't show a hint of fear. He swung the Golden Cudgel in a circle and held it in his hand, smiling lightly: "So it's three old acquaintances, rarely seen since parting ways at Mount Liusha."

  The three Bodhisattvas seemed to have not heard Sun Wukong's sarcasm, and Guanyin Bodhisattva solemnly chanted a Buddha's name after her dignified appearance, then said expressionlessly: "Since the separation at Mount Huaguo, the Great Sage's name has been like thunder in my ears."

  Sun Wukong said: "Of course, my name was forged with every blow of my staff, not like the three Bodhisattvas who can shake the Three Realms just by sitting steadily on their lotus platforms."

  After Sun Wukong finished speaking, the Bodhisattva Manjusri suddenly laughed and said: "Great Sage, there is no need to test us anymore. This time we have come specifically for you and the Demon King Mahabali. I wonder if you will fight with us first and then be taken by us to Mount Ling, or if you will surrender directly and go with us to Mount Ling?"

  Sun Wukong heard this and pretended to be nonchalant, saying: "I'll go with you to the Mountain of Spirits, but why does the Great Sage Equaling Heaven also need to go to the Mountain of Spirits?"

  Manjushri Bodhisattva expressionlessly said: "Do you think anyone who wants to go to Spirit Mountain can just go? That Wan Jun Demon King is the main culprit of the great disturbance in Yaochi, personally named by the Jade Emperor to be captured."

  Sun Wukong was taken aback, then loudly said: "That Jade Pool is something this Great Sage stirred up, what does it have to do with the Great Sage of Ten Thousand Orders?"

  Sun Wukong finished speaking, and the three Bodhisattvas all laughed.

  Then Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "We all know it's you who made the trouble, what can we do? The Jade Emperor says it was caused by the Ten Thousand Ton Demon King, whether it is him or not, it's all his fault."

  Sun Wukong suddenly became enraged, wielding the Golden Cudgel and fiercely striking it towards Guanyin Bodhisattva, while loudly shouting: "Want to capture the Great Sage Equal of Heaven? First ask this Golden Cudgel!"

  Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Sun Wukong's rod with unparalleled disdain, and the other two bodhisattvas also showed a mocking and scornful expression on their faces.

  When the Golden Hoop entered, Guanyin Bodhisattva stretched out her jade hand with a faint white glow and struck out with a palm that was completely devoid of any fierce aura. The sound of metal colliding with metal echoed as she hit the Golden Hoop, while Sun Wukong's body shook violently. He felt as if he had smashed into an extremely hard steel plate, and his hands only transmitted the force of the rebound.

  Manjushri and Samantabhadra, the two bodhisattvas, dispersed in a very tacit understanding, leaving space for Guanyin and Sun Wukong to fight, and also subtly blocking the path that Sun Wukong must take to escape.

  In a great rage, Sun Wukong wielded his golden cudgel, creating a flurry of afterimages that filled the sky. He struck at Guanyin Bodhisattva with one heavy blow after another, but no matter how varied and powerful Sun Wukong's attacks were, Guanyin Bodhisattva met them all with just one jade hand, effortlessly parrying each of Sun Wukong's aerial assaults.

  Then, in the sky above the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits, a series of dull rumbles sounded.

  Lei Hao, who was still operating his healing technique in the secret room, suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of heart blood, looking much better on his face.

  He habitually extended his divine consciousness, swept it once, and the next moment he suddenly changed color, like a gust of wind rushing out of the secret room, flying straight to the mountain stronghold on the halfway up the mountain.

  Sun Wukong, who was still fighting Guanyin Bodhisattva, saw Lei Hao appear on the mountain and his face changed greatly. He waved his golden hoop rod and shouted loudly: "Niu Tou, run quickly, these three monks are after you."

  Lei Hao looked at Sun Wukong and said expressionlessly: "You're all here, how can I leave you behind?"

  Universal Worthy Bodhisattva gazed at Lei Hao, a ferocious smile spreading across his face: "Leave now, I'll spare you some physical suffering. If not, I will surely abolish all your skills and cultivation, making your thousand years of practice lost in an instant."

  Lei Hao summoned the Dragon Slayer, his right hand tightly grasping it. He calmly said: "Do you still think of me as that little demon king from the Heavenly Realm? If not for having more people on your side, I would have beaten you to a pulp!"

  Universal Worthy Bodhisattva suddenly became enraged, drew out a cold light flashing ancient long sword and killed towards Lei Hao.

  Lei Hao showed no fear and held up the dragon-slaying sword to face the Bodhisattva.

  Not yet close, the Thunderbolt raised the Dragon Slayer and shouted: "Split the Earth." As soon as he finished speaking, a several dozen feet long purple-red two-colored knife aura, like Mount Tai pressing down on top, fiercely chopped towards Puxian.

  Fuxian felt the danger brought by Leihao's sword energy, and reluctantly used his sword to slash at it. With a light and airy motion, he drew his sword across Leihao's earth-shattering sword energy, cutting it off.

  Lei Hao was not discouraged by the situation, he was very clear that the Bodhisattva in front of him was a powerful being at the level of Taiyi True Immortal, and it was normal that this move could not harm him.

  "Split the earth, split the earth, split the earth..." Lei Hao's entire upper body muscles bulged high, wielding the Dragon Slaying War Knife to slash out wave after wave of earth-splitting knife energy in a fraction of a breath.

  The sky was filled with intersecting slashes of air that continuously merged, finally transforming into a gleaming, crystalline terror that slowly pressed down on Puxian.

  Universal Worthy Bodhisattva saw this terrible knife energy, and had a mind to dodge, but was afraid that if he showed any weakness, Lei Hao would take the opportunity to escape, so he could only hold his sword with all his might and face Lei Hao's knife.

  All that could be heard was a loud 'boom' as the terrifying knife energy exploded on Pu Xian's body, sending him flying dozens of meters away.

  Lei Hao relied on his double-layered Golden Immortal's profound magical powers, and actually suppressed the Taiyi True Immortal-level Bodhisattva Puxian in battle!

  On the other hand, Sun Wukong's battle with Guanyin Bodhisattva was at a disadvantage. He had used all his ultimate moves, but he couldn't break through Guanyin's defense, and all his attacks were blocked by Guanyin with one hand.

  Sun Wukong was extremely frustrated in the battle, he suddenly exerted all his strength and threw the Golden Cudgel with a loud shout: "Qian Kun Yi Piao". The Golden Cudgel emitted a brilliant golden light, carrying an unmatched aura, shooting towards Guanyin.

  Guanyin's face turned serious, and for the first time she drew out the willow branch from the sheep fat jade bottle. With a gentle wave of her hand towards the golden hoop rod, the golden light flashed as if it had been struck by a massive hammer weighing hundreds of millions of kilograms, spinning and crashing into the mountainside of Mount Huaguo.

  The hopeful look that had just risen on Sun Wukong's face suddenly stagnated, and then he stretched out his hand to beckon, the Golden Cudgel in the mountain body flew back into Sun Wukong's hands with a loud roar.

  Sun Wukong jumped up again and raised his golden cudgel, heavily smashing it towards Guanyin's head.

  Guanyin waved the willow branch in her hand once again, and Sun Wukong was frozen in mid-air. Then Guanyin relaxed her grip on the willow branch, which transformed into a green silk ribbon that tightly wrapped around Sun Wukong. With him in tow, she flew back to the sheep fat jade bottle in her hand.

  "Wukong." Lei Hao let out a loud roar, his eyes wide with fury, and swung his blade down once more to deflect Puxian's attack before turning around to charge at Guanyin.
