Negotiation

Bang!!!

A deafening boom rang out.

Facing Sun Wukong's staff strike, Liu Chuang raised the God-Slaying Axe in his hand, trying to block it.

But in such haste, how could Liu Chuang's current strength possibly compare to Sun Wukong's??

Like Ge Xiaolun, he was sent flying by Sun Wukong's immense force.

"Quick, quick, quick! Get into formation, get into formation! Don't act rashly!

Xiao Xuanyu, protect Qi Lin."

At this moment, Du Qiangwei finally snapped back to her senses and hurriedly began directing everyone.

Meanwhile, under Rose's guidance, the group slowly closed in on Sun Wukong, intending to surround him.

Hiss...

Sun Wukong wore a suit of Golden Armor and held a Mystic Iron Staff, baring his teeth at everyone.

Low, muffled growls continuously rumbled from him.

Facing the Super Soldier Company's encirclement, Sun Wukong watched them warily, lightly shifting his feet as he tried to find an opening.

Within the silent Mountain Forest, hoarse growls occasionally echoed.

In the distance, Qi Lin lay motionless on the ground. The God-Slaying Sniper Rifle in her hands was like a venomous snake, fixed firmly upon Sun Wukong, who was surrounded by the Super Soldier Company.

The moment he made any unusual move, her God-Slaying No. 1 Armor-Piercing Bullet would immediately blast out of the barrel.

Not far from Qi Lin, Xiao Xuanyu quietly observed everything.

Once the moment came, he would strike at once and crush Sun Wukong's clone with thunderous force.

"Sun Wukong, we're not enemies!

Calm down, calm down..."

Standing to the side, Du Qiangwei held out her hands in a soothing gesture, trying to calm the violent Sun Wukong.

Seeing Du Qiangwei trying to make Sun Wukong relax, Xiao Xuanyu could not help frowning slightly.

Whether this mission was an assessment or a real battle,

Du Qiangwei, as captain, was somewhat unworthy of the position.

Forget everything else. Since Sun Wukong had attacked his comrades, he was their enemy.

When facing an enemy on the battlefield, they naturally had to consider their comrades' safety.

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong ignored Du Qiangwei.

A flash of Golden Light passed over his body, and he suddenly shot toward the horizon, trying to break free from the Super Soldier Company's encirclement.

Just then, the ground suddenly shook. Immediately afterward, a pair of enormous Stone Hands seized him in midair.

Cheng Yaowen had acted, restraining Sun Wukong.

Clearly, he had prepared for this long ago.

One hand controlled Sun Wukong while Cheng Yaowen's other hand condensed another massive stone fist.

It smashed viciously toward Sun Wukong, who was trapped in the air.

Rumble...

In an instant, broken rocks whirled through the sky, and dust billowed everywhere.

Just as Cheng Yaowen believed he had successfully restrained Sun Wukong, a streak of golden light suddenly appeared in the heavens.

At tremendous speed, it pierced through the surrounding dust and charged toward Cheng Yaowen.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuanyu, who had been on guard nearby, narrowed his eyes and swiftly opened a wormhole, arriving beside Cheng Yaowen.

Xiao Xuanyu kicked Cheng Yaowen aside, then fiercely slashed the Dawn Sword in his hand toward Sun Wukong.

Rumble...

A powerful shockwave instantly swept outward.

Bang!!!

At that moment, a gunshot suddenly thundered beside everyone's ears.

It was Qi Lin—she had fired!!

The God-Slaying No. 1 Armor-Piercing Bullet streaked across the sky and struck Sun Wukong squarely in the head.

"Why did you fire?!"

Du Qiangwei's furious voice echoed in everyone's ears over the public channel.

"He was attacking Xiao Yuzi. Didn't you see that?"

Qi Lin naturally retorted with all her might.

"He doesn't need your help!!"

Consumed by anger, Du Qiangwei did not care about the relationship between Qi Lin and Xiao Xuanyu as she snapped furiously.

"What kind of captain are you?!"

Qi Lin's intensely dissatisfied voice echoed in everyone's ears.

"Enough, Qi Lin. Everyone stay alert—Sun Wukong isn't dead yet."

Seeing the two arguing over the channel, Xiao Xuanyu could not help feeling irritated.

"Whether Sun Wukong is our enemy or not, as captain, you must be responsible for your teammates' safety instead of thinking you can solve everything by talking.

If you won't even care about your teammates' safety... what kind of captain are you?!"

Xiao Xuanyu looked at Du Qiangwei, his calm and cold voice echoing throughout the Mountain Forest.

"You..."

Du Qiangwei's heart went cold at his words, and she looked at Xiao Xuanyu with unconvinced resentment.

But Xiao Xuanyu ignored her and directly took command from her:

"Chuangzi, Xiaolun, are you dead? If not, get up already."

"Not... not dead yet."

Liu Chuang and Ge Xiaolun shakily climbed to their feet.

"Good. I'll take the front. Chuangzi and Xiaolun, come in from the sides. Zhao Xin, you're fast, so distract Sun Wukong. Yao Wen will handle the control. Mengmeng..."

"Huh? I... I'm here."

Rui Mengmeng, standing nearby, seemed somewhat flustered upon hearing Xiao Xuanyu's voice.

"Mengmeng, you're responsible for protecting Qi Lin."

Hearing that, Xiao Xuanyu gave a light laugh before taking the lead in charging toward Sun Wukong.

"Here I come! When has Xin Ye ever feared anyone?!"

At Xiao Xuanyu's command, Zhao Xin charged toward Sun Wukong at tremendous speed.

His strength was not great; only his speed gave him a powerful advantage.

Therefore, he could only serve as a distraction.

Everyone present received an assignment from Xiao Xuanyu. Du Qiangwei alone was left out and coldly ignored.

She stood there in a daze.

In all her life, this was the first time someone had reprimanded her.

Since childhood, whether in the military or outside it, who had ever dared to scold her like this?!

In the sky, Xiao Xuanyu spread the wings on his back and wielded the Dawn Sword, fighting Sun Wukong in a fierce deadlock.

They traded blow for blow, one staff strike from Sun Wukong followed by one sword slash from Xiao Xuanyu.

At the same time, peals of thunder rang through the sky.

As Xiao Xuanyu fought Sun Wukong, bolts of heavenly lightning kept falling, striking viciously at Sun Wukong.

Poor Sun Wukong had to evade both the lightning and Xiao Xuanyu's sharp blade.

Meanwhile, Xiao Xuanyu gradually learned many combat techniques.

Little by little, even without the Super Soldier Company's help, he alone could fight Sun Wukong evenly.

Of course, this was merely one of Sun Wukong's clones.

Elsewhere,

This was a rather spacious conference room.

Inside the conference room, besides the three angels, there was also Leina, who had not joined the Super Soldier Company on the mission.

"Did delaying your trip make you want to jump over and hit me, little girl?!"

Angel Yan spoke in a teasing tone.

At seven thousand years old, Leina truly was no more than a little girl before her.

"Not for now, you old hag."

Leina replied with a stern face and obvious impatience.

"Hehe. If those little brats can't even handle a monkey, then I advise you to make your escape early."

Angel Yan smiled faintly, her voice carrying a hint of amusement.
