After activating the power he seized after the third "killing" of Helios, Bai Ye could clearly feel that as his body turned golden, his strength, speed, and physical strength were all increasing exponentially.
"Fight!!!" x2
……
Outside, the marquis, who was using his size and agility to leave wounds on the dragon, heard the commotion inside and a smirk appeared on his lips.
As expected, he's just a kid who's killing a god for the first time, and he fell into my trap so easily.
His struggle with Luo Hao had lasted for over a century, and the Marquis believed he had some understanding of the strength of that woman who stood at the pinnacle of martial arts.
Although she didn't know why that woman didn't take a forceful approach like herself and force these people to break the seal, but instead allowed this monkey to be imprisoned for so many years, one thing was certain...
That means this monkey is definitely very strong!
Compared to Bu Cong, who is not confident in dealing with someone of equal combat power, the dragon outside is obviously easier to deal with. Moreover, by the time he has dealt with the dragon, Bai Ye and the monkey inside will probably have finished their battle.
With his strength, wouldn't it be wonderful if he could forcibly take the monkey back from Bai Ye?
Thinking of the two powers he was about to acquire, the old man's emerald green eyes flashed with the words "Planning is perfect," and his posture at that moment was very similar to that of a certain chairman of Academy City.
"Ang~~~"
The dragon, whose body was covered in wounds inflicted by the Marquis, suddenly let out a long roar and flew into the sky. It only stopped when it was almost out of the troposphere, and then delivered a dragon claw strike to the Marquis from the sky.
……
bang——
Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted from the battlefield between the Marquis and the dragon, accompanied by a tremor similar to an earthquake.
Frowning, Bai Ye glanced over there. Through his power "All-Seeing Above the Sky," Bai Ye's gaze pierced through the billowing dust and saw the somewhat disheveled Marquis and the dragon, whose condition also looked terrible.
"It seems that even someone like the old man or Luo Hao, who are top-tier fighters among the Godslayers, still needs to be careful when facing those who don't submit... No wonder the old man, who has been a Godslayer for over two hundred years, doesn't have that many powers..."
"Kid, you dare to be distracted while fighting me, Old Sun? That's something even all the gods and Buddhas back in the day wouldn't dare to do..."
Noticing Bai Ye's momentary lapse in concentration, the monkey snorted in dissatisfaction, swept his iron rod horizontally, and the tip of the rod with the golden headband smashed hard towards Bai Ye's face.
"Whether you're distracted or not really doesn't matter much, right?" Bai Ye raised his hand and blocked the blow with his forearm, feeling a not-so-intense pain in his arm. He mentally gave Helios a thumbs up.
When this guy gave himself his powers, he really did use the original ones 100%; otherwise, Bai Ye wouldn't have thought his physical strength could go head-to-head with the Monkey King's golden cudgel.
This was the divine weapon that once swept through the Southern Heavenly Gate, striking down hordes of heavenly soldiers and generals with a single blow.
"This is really troublesome. I heard that you only killed one god before you came here. It's hard to imagine how lucky you are to have obtained such unreasonable power."
Realizing that his current posture seemed somewhat inadequate to deal with Bai Ye's golden battle body, a golden cloud appeared beneath the monkey's feet, carrying him back a short distance.
Taking advantage of the distance between himself and Bai Ye, the monkey twisted his neck.
"Although you are essentially just a mortal, I, Old Sun, admit that you, like that three-eyed one, have the ability to fight me head-on..."
"So, from now on, I, Old Sun, will also have to take this seriously."
The monkey took a deep breath and uttered its first incantation since escaping its confinement—
"In this world, there is only the Sage Equaling Heaven; where does the Fighting Buddha of the Western Paradise come from!"
The monk's robes ripped apart, and in a burst of golden light, the outfit he had "borrowed" from the Dragon Palace of the East Sea slowly took shape on the monkey's body: a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, a chainmail golden armor, lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes, and the Ruyi Jingu Bang (golden cudgel) carried on his shoulder.
Just by standing there, Bai Ye could feel an arrogance emanating from his very bones.
Unexpectedly, Bai Ye's right eyelid twitched as he realized that his opponent had this kind of second transformation.
I thought I had this game in the bag, but I knew things wouldn't be that simple!
……
Chapter 083 Take a Blow from Old Sun!
Sun Wukong is best known by two titles: one is the Victorious Fighting Buddha after completing his journey to the West, ranking among the Thirty-Five Buddhas; the other, and most widely known, is the title he acquired before becoming a Buddha—the Handsome Monkey King of the Water Curtain Cave on Flower Fruit Mountain, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong.
That is, the state of the monkey in front of Bai Ye right now.
"Young man before me, to have forced me to this point, I acknowledge your strength as the son of the fool. As a reward for your worthy battle to celebrate my escape, before I kill you, state your name."
"Your name is Bai Ye, but as for killing me... are you that confident?"
"Hehe, in this heaven and on earth, no one can withstand my old Sun's staff!" The monkey laughed loudly, raising the golden cudgel above his head. "Enough nonsense, take one of my old Sun's staffs to warm up!"
"drink!"
Originally crafted by Laozi and bestowed upon Yu the Great for measuring the depths of the floods, the Golden Cudgel, which was later acquired by the Monkey King, emitted a divine radiance and swept towards Baiye with unparalleled force.
This time, Bai Ye didn't dare to be careless.
With a flash of blood, Gungnir appeared in his hands. Bai Ye held one end of the spear in each hand, raising it above his head, attempting to take the monkey's blow head-on.
When~
The sound of metal clashing could be clearly heard even from hundreds of miles away.
"Hahaha, not bad, come again!"
The monkey seemed to have expected the blow to be blocked. He laughed loudly, raised the iron bar in his hand again, and launched an attack on Bai Ye.
Fortunately, Bai Ye's dynamic vision had been greatly enhanced when he killed Helios for the second time and usurped the power of "All-Seeing Above the Sky" from him. The three god-slayings also strengthened Bai Ye's body three times in a row, allowing his movements to keep up with his vision, so that he would not be too flustered to deal with the monkey's ordinary attacks.
Without uttering any incantations, Bai Ye directly activated the active effect of the power "All-Seeing One Above the Sky," attempting to find a weakness in the monkey.
"Trying to find my weaknesses, huh?" Sensing Bai Ye's probing gaze and remembering his own discerning eyes, the monkey confidently spun around.
"I, Old Sun, am a being born of nature, sprang from a stone, and later ate peaches of immortality and chewed elixirs. I also forged an indestructible body in Laozi's Eight Trigrams Furnace. Even the Execution Platform in Heaven is helpless against me. If this is all you have to offer, then I, Old Sun, can only say this: it's all over!"
Is it flawless and indestructible?
Using his powers to thoroughly examine the monkey inside and out, Bai Ye regretfully discovered that he hadn't actually found any flaws.
It seems the monkey's indestructible body wasn't entirely a boast... Let's fight first!
Duang! Duang! Duang!
The attacks from both the human and the monkey were like a raging storm, unleashing their fury upon each other in an attempt to end the other's life here.
A muffled thud was heard.
Thanks to the miraculous effects of the Titan's body, and with almost no defense, Bai Ye finally managed to send the monkey flying with a single blow while the monkey's previous staff move had ended and his new move was still in the works.
In a battle where the forces are evenly matched, to be a gentleman is just asking for trouble, especially since Bai Ye has gained a slight advantage in a direct confrontation.
The Momo Fruit's hundredfold speed was applied to him, and almost instantly, Bai Ye caught up with the monkey that had been knocked away. The Gungnir in his hand was replaced with the God-Slaying Spear, which was temporarily replicated at a cost of 8.88 million Origin Coins.
The divine spear of the God Special Attack, when facing the monkey who descended in disobedience, merely grazed lightly, leaving a bloody mark on the monkey's body.
"White Night Kid, your gun...?" The monkey was getting agitated.
It was merely a divine spear, yet the monkey sensed a malice emanating from it far more intense than that of a god-slayer, as if the spear's sole purpose was to oppose these gods.
"As you can see, it is indeed a very sharp weapon when facing beings like you." Relying on his physical abilities, which now far surpass those of ordinary people, Bai Ye performed a beautiful spear flourish, then kept the spear tip pointed at the monkey.
monkey:"……"
Honestly, I didn't feel this bad even when I found myself trapped inside the seal by two god-slayers!
"A fine spear, worthy of being called our nemesis. Having a trump card like 133, yet only bringing it out at a time like this, your temperament is much more composed than mine was back in the day." The monkey nodded, looking at the battlefield between Marquis Voban and the dragon that was one of the conditions for unlocking the seal.
Even if you can't see it, you can feel that the activity over there is getting closer and closer to its end.
Listening to the increasingly deep dragon roars echoing through the heavens and earth, it's not hard to guess who will ultimately emerge victorious.
"Phew~ What a lovely afternoon, the sunshine is so warm, I just wonder when I'll have the chance to come down here again..."
"Young Baiye, your spear is indeed a fine weapon, and it can be very effective against those who refuse to submit. However, slaying a god is not as simple as you imagine..."
"It just so happens that I, Old Sun, am in a rather bad state right now, so consider this a reminder to you: never underestimate any deity, such as this wild monkey in front of you that looks like it's already in your grasp..."
"The golden monkey wields its mighty cudgel, clearing the jade sky of dust for ten thousand miles!"
"Take a stick from my old grandson!"
……
Chapter 084 The Sudden Appearance of Luo Hao
It seems that this year's underworld is destined to be dominated by UC Shock Department.
No sooner had news spread from Rhodes Island that a young man from the East had slain the disobedient god Helios and become the seventh king in the world than this seventh king had made another big move in an island nation in the East.
According to information from the Japanese magic society "The Official History Compilation Committee," the newly born Seventh King, Byakuya, has joined forces with the oldest god-slayer, Marquis Voban, to release the rebellious Sun Wukong, who was originally sealed in the Western Heaven Palace.
Then the White Night King successfully killed Sun Wukong, and Marquis Voban also usurped unknown new powers from an unknown dragon-snake creature.
This new king, who had been a god-slayer for less than a week, passed the "newbie period" in just a few days and began to catch up with his predecessors who possessed multiple powers.
If the other god-slayers could dismiss the first news of Bai Ye's god-slaying as pure luck, this time the news had to be taken seriously—that old man didn't just casually acknowledge a junior, let alone kill a god with him.
Marquis Voban, upon hearing the rumors outside: "..."
Damn it, I thought I could take care of that dragon quickly, but I almost got killed myself. Can he tell the truth?
I can't say it!
"Hmph! ╯^╰!"
white night:"……"
So what's wrong with this old man? We clearly agreed that each of us would get one, and he even chose the dragon himself first, but afterwards he started to look down on me in every way.
Menopause, which is more than a hundred years late, has finally arrived?
"Grandpa, what are your plans for the future?"
"I guess... I'll continue traveling around the world, seeing if I can find other unconventional ones?" The Marquis stroked his chin. "I originally planned to organize another summoning ceremony, but the power I gained from that dragon is enough for me to digest for a while. Don't just talk about me, what about you? What are your plans?"
"..." Thinking about the unused relics he had collected, Bai Ye's eyes darted around.
Judging from the old man's performance that day, he seems to be a deeply hidden battle maniac. Besides, among god-slayers, if you see a fellow warrior summoning something, what's wrong with secretly finishing them off and stealing a kill?
Didn't you see how the Italian Sword King treated the old man back then?
"I guess I'm the kind of lazy bum who doesn't have any ambitions? I'll probably take a spontaneous trip first, and see if there's anything I can do to hone my skills."
"Yes, combat is indeed the best way to adapt to one's powers." The old man nodded, agreeing with Bai Ye's plan.
"hey-hey……"
What Bai Ye usurped from Sun Wukong, who never submitted to him, was the indestructible body he achieved by eating peaches of immortality and elixirs, and finally being tempered in the Eight Trigrams Furnace, absorbing the peaches of immortality and elixirs.
That is, the "steel" represented by Sun Wukong who does not follow the rules.
If he were to activate both the "Titan Body" and "Indestructible Body" powers at the same time, Bai Ye felt that even if it were a god's ultimate move, he could withstand one or two hits head-on, such as the thunderclouds formed by the old man's "Raging Storm".
"Tuk Tuk Tuk"
"Come in." Both Bai Ye and the Marquis possessed powers related to their eyes, so a mere wooden door naturally could not obstruct their view.
Bai Ye's gaze passed through the door and landed on the bespectacled man standing outside. He and the old man exchanged a glance and spoke.
"King of the White Night, Your Excellency Marquis." Upon entering, Amakasu Touma respectfully bowed and greeted the two.
"Get up, is there something you need?"
"Please don't be offended, Your Majesty, but we've heard that none of your subordinates have yet pledged allegiance?"
"do you have any opinion?"
“I wouldn’t dare, please don’t misunderstand, Your Majesty.” Amakasu Touma wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. “I’m here today on behalf of the Committee for the Compilation of Official Histories to swear allegiance to you. If you are willing, we are willing to be the sharpest sword in your hand.”
"The sharpest?" Before Bai Ye could speak, the Marquis scoffed, "You really think highly of yourselves."
Amakasu Touma didn't dare to reply.
"Alright, save your breath. I'm still used to doing things on my own. I don't need those burdens. If I really want to find someone to rely on... I think the old man is quite good."
"..."
Putting aside the fact that Marquis Voban has been active for so many years, how could he possibly lack manpower? Even if the Marquis didn't mind, they wouldn't even consider it!
Given the powerful personality of this ancient god-slayer, if they were to fall into his hands, the official history compilation committee would likely become nothing more than an insignificant pawn in his game.
"So you look down on the old man? That makes sense. How could a mere old geezer compare to a vibrant young man like me?" Seeing that Amakasu Touma didn't answer, Byakuya raised an eyebrow at the old man with malicious intent.
Voban: "..."
