Chapter 138: The Monkey King's Sky-Sweeping Tornado Formation
However, the White Dragon Horse, oblivious and carefree, didn't get angry at all. Instead, it sat there snacking leisurely, looking completely at ease.
As for this horse, Sun Wukong had no expectations, so he let it surrender. However, he glanced at Tang Sanzang with some concern.
What he saw was that the baldy and the White Dragon Horse were sitting together, sharing snacks.
Seeing this, Sun Wukong breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that the thieving baldy also understood that the White Dragon Horse was ultimately just a mount and one shouldn't have too high hopes for it.
Zhu Ganglie, on the other hand, was murmuring to himself in distress. When he wanted to surrender, the baldy almost twisted off his pig's head, yet when this damn horse surrendered, it was no big deal... Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire
The disparity in their treatment was just too great!
However, he also realized that, firstly, the White Dragon Horse was still young, and secondly, its combat strength was truly poor. If it really joined the fight, it would probably just get beaten up.
With that thought, Zhu Ganglie had no choice but to accept it.
In the next match, Sun Wukong stepped forward and said to the Monkey King, "Big bro, shall we have a practice?"
The Monkey King casually tossed aside the snack in his hand, then leaped out of the ranks and stretched, saying, "Sure, sure, let's have a practice!"
After speaking, the Monkey King suddenly shouted, "Zhu Ganglie, what are you doing?"
Sun Wukong, not even turning his head, swung his staff and struck at him!
The Monkey King quickly dodged, cursing, "Damn it, that trick doesn't work on you."
Sun Wukong chuckled and said, "Being in this team for a long time, one can't help but become a bit more cunning! Fifth brother, don't run, take a hit from ol' Sun Wukong!"
"Get lost, I'm not interested in male monkeys!" the Monkey King cursed as his body blurred like a gust of wind, becoming insubstantial in the air, appearing and disappearing, sometimes a thousand miles away, sometimes ten thousand. His speed was incredibly fast!
While Sun Wukong could outpace the Monkey King in a straight line with his somersault cloud, the Monkey King's movement was too erratic and unpredictable, making it hard for Sun Wukong to catch up, leaving him shouting in frustration.
The Monkey King laughed heartily, "Seventh brother, if you don't take action, I'm going to! Next, I'll use the ultimate technique I've mastered over the past five hundred years—the Tornado All-Encompassing Formation. Be careful!"
Amidst his laughter, the Monkey King instantly transformed into countless afterimages, encircling Sun Wukong in the middle. Then those afterimages simultaneously took out a strange, curved wind blade and struck at Sun Wukong!
In an instant, countless wind blades slashed at Sun Wukong from all directions!
Sun Wukong whirled the Jingu Bang, creating an impenetrable defense and shattered all the wind blades, all the while pondering a solution.
He possessed fiery-golden eyes that could see through all deception, but the Monkey King's movements weren't illusions or clones, but mere afterimages created by extreme speed.
Each one was the true body, yet each was also a false body. Finding a way to break through the pattern was a bit tricky.
But what was truly troublesome was that the Monkey King's speed kept increasing and becoming faster!
In the sky, the Demon King Peng exclaimed, "Worthy of being the Great Sage of Wind, his initial speed seemed fluttery but was not very fast. However, with time, his speed would get faster and faster...
Apparently with no upper limit.
If the Seventh brother cannot think of a solution soon, once the Fifth brother's speed reaches a certain level, breaking through will probably become impossible."
The Jiao Demon King and the others nodded in agreement with the Demon King Peng's opinion.
The Monkey King was not conspicuous among them and had weak bloodline strength, but his understanding of the Way of Wind was unmatched even if everyone else gave chase on horseback.
In the past, the Monkey King could be described as insubstantial, making him impossible to catch or harm, yet he lacked offensive techniques.
Now that he had mastered the Tornado All-Encompassing Formation, he was an embodiment of both offense and defense!
In theory, as long as he was given time, he could grind down anyone!
As he spoke, the Monkey King's speed broke through once again. A terrifying tornado storm instantly formed, connecting heaven and earth while locking Sun Wukong tightly inside.
Sun Wukong, watching the Monkey King's speed increasing, gritted his teeth and said, "It's making my eyes blur; well then, let's get out first and talk later!"
With that thought, Sun Wukong leaped into the air, and, picking a direction, he swung the Jingu Bang with all his might!
His idea was simple: if the opponent chose to meet the attack, then it would be a head-on collision.
If the opponent dodged, he would take the opportunity to break free...
However, the Monkey King was not alarmed but delighted and laughed loudly, "Little Seventh Brother, feel the enlightenment I have gained over these years… Wind is not just about speed! There's also… resonance!"
No sooner had the sound of his voice faded than countless Monkey Kings swung their swords at the same time!
This time, it was genuinely simultaneous!
The light from the swords converged in an instant, turning into a tangible, terrifying blade glow. Where the blade passed, the void cracked audibly, as if it were about to split open.
Sun Wukong was startled by the power, having only seen such might from the bald man before.
He had never imagined that the Monkey King could achieve it as well.
Actually, upon closer consideration, it wasn't hard to understand.
A squad of soldiers crossing a bridge could easily be supported if they walked in disarray. But if these soldiers marched in unison, the force generated by the resonance could be enough to make the bridge collapse.
That was the power of resonance.
With the myriad of Monkey Kings exerting their force simultaneously, their powers resonated and amplified each other, naturally reaching a horrifyingly powerful extent!
Boom!
The Jingu Bang of Sun Wukong collided with the blade glow, causing a massive explosion and Qi Force to sweep across the area!
The terrifying shockwave hit the tornado storm, causing it to momentarily stall, but the next moment, it seemed as if it had absorbed this energy and spun faster, boosting the Monkey King's speed!
The Monkey King laughed heartily, "Little Seventh Brother, this Tornado Cage is not just a prison; it absorbs all the energy inside and converts it into my speed. You had a chance to break the pattern before, but now you have no chance!"
Yet Sun Wukong keenly detected a sliver of opportunity…
"Is that so? Not necessarily. Your Tornado Cage may be powerful, but… it's not without flaws!"
After saying that, paying no heed to the Monkey King's look of astonishment, Sun Wukong immediately unleashed the Furious Giant Ape, and together they attacked relentlessly with stick and fist converging into a terrifyingly large rod shadow that slammed down heavily!
The Monkey King exclaimed in surprise, "Impressive perception, you've actually noticed the slowdown in the storm when it absorbs power… But what does it matter if you know?"
Another resonant blade strike!
Boom!
With a loud bang, the energy exploded. The impact caused the entire storm to stall and expand, but ultimately it did not burst open.
But Sun Wukong didn't give it a chance to convert, instead launching a furious assault on the Monkey King; waves of energy storms struck outward. In that moment, the tornado storm began to expand and distort, and its speed finally started to slow down.
The Monkey King saw that Sun Wukong was about to break through, but he was not in the least bit worried and laughed, "Very good, I didn't expect you to be unable to be trapped by this. Then try the second variation of my great formation, the Power of Wind, Wind Erosion!"
The next moment, Sun Wukong felt a gentle wind swirling around him, slowly dissipating part of the Fist Power, strength, and energy he exerted! As a result, the Monkey King was easily able to parry Sun Wukong's attacks, and the Tornado Cage took the opportunity to absorb the previous energy, spinning even faster!
