Fuhahahahaha

"Finally decided to come out?"

Su Bai said calmly to Xuan Tianji.

Xuan Tianji's eyes widened, and he struggled to lift his head.

"You... knew I was here...?"

Su Bai nodded.

Xiao Xue had said that this move was prepared specifically for him.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Tianji's already heavily injured body trembled with rage.

"You...! Cough, cough, cough--!"

Before he could finish speaking, he vomited another mouthful of fresh blood.

Su Bai no longer looked at him, instead raising his gaze to the sky.

"Monkey, up there--"

"How long are you going to hide?"

Monkey?!

Everyone present subconsciously looked up at the sky upon hearing this.

"Hide? Heh heh..." A slightly teasing voice came from high above. "This old Sun isn't hiding—just arrived."

Before the voice faded, Sun Wukong's figure appeared in mid-air. He leaped down lightly with a somersault, landing steadily beside Xuan Tianji.

He glanced down at the severely injured and dying Xuan Tianji, a deeper smile forming on his lips.

"Yo, isn't this our Heavenly Dao Star's 'Heavenly Protector'? How did you end up in such a state?"

Xuan Tianji's face turned ashen. He forced a cold laugh.

"Damn monkey... you were scared and hiding... cough... only dared to show yourself after seeing me injured... you're nothing special... Hahaha... cough, cough..."

His laughter mingled with violent coughing, sounding pathetic and ironic.

Qiangwei and Leina exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion.

Where did this...

Sun Wukong come from?

Angel Yan also frowned slightly.

A third-generation beast body, and moreover, a third-generation divine body.

In Su Bai's current state, it would be difficult to handle.

She turned her head and exchanged a look with Azhui. Azhui immediately understood, her energy flowing subtly around her as she entered a state of alert.

If that monkey were to attack Su Bai, they would intervene immediately.

Angel Yan simultaneously sent a brief report of the situation to Qilin via subspace communication, alerting her to be prepared.

Qilin nodded slightly, tightening her grip on her spear.

As for why Sun Wukong appeared here...

A few minutes earlier, when Leina and Qiangwei, fighting together, were still completely suppressed by Su Bai, with no chance to even escape...

Dukao realized that it was impossible for them to escape on their own.

He immediately connected to the only trump card he could currently mobilize:

"Wukong."

"Hey, Old Du? Why are you contacting me all of a sudden? Is something wrong in Jiuzhou?"

"Yes, an unknown super-soldier has appeared. Qiangwei and Leina are no match for him."

Dukao's tone was calm, downplaying the severity of the situation and omitting the cause of the conflict.

"An unknown super-soldier?"

On the other end of the communication, Sun Wukong frowned.

"I understand. Send me the location."

He didn't doubt it much.

Having known each other for over a thousand years, even if it wasn't absolute trust, he had long since habitually accepted what Dukao said.

"Alright. Wukong, it's up to you. Be careful."

Dukao sent the coordinates and added, "If possible... try not to kill him. Bring him back for interrogation."

Sun Wukong didn't respond, tacitly agreeing.

Although he didn't agree with such actions in his heart, Jiuzhou today... was facing turbulent times.

Some things had to be done.

Sun Wukong turned his head, his voice not loud but carrying clearly.

"You girl over there."

Qiangwei and Leina exchanged a glance, then Qiangwei stepped forward.

"Sun Wukong?"

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

From the conversation just now, it was clear that Xuan Tianji was on Leina's side, and Sun Wukong was at odds with them as soon as he appeared.

So this "girl" must have been referring to her.

"Old Du sent me to help you," Sun Wukong said, his gaze not shifting, his tone flat. "Find an opportunity and retreat first."

However, as soon as he finished speaking--

Su Bai on the opposite side suddenly raised his hand to cover his face and chuckled softly.

"Run? Hmm... Hahaha..."

The laughter was completely different from Su Bai's voice, becoming deep and magnetic.

Everyone subconsciously looked over.

Qilin also frowned.

Why is Xiao Bai suddenly...

Soon, the diary update resolved her confusion.

[Hello, hello~ Everyone, I'm Xiao Xue~]

[I'll be taking over temporarily.]

[I called a helper for Big Sister.]

[Xiao Bai is going to experience the elder's teaching now.]

[Hmph, one after another, are they annoying? Do they really think our Xiao Bai has no backing?]

[Next, please welcome the next contestant--]

[Snake-skin monster, riddle master, Kratch's strictest 'father', fun expert, maker of the worst coffee, acting king, devourer of planets who plays the Protagonist Group by himself--]

[E·Vol·t!]

Those watching the diary and the livestream finally understood--

Why Su Bai's words and actions had suddenly changed.

So... it was a "substitute" now.

Su Bai--or rather, "Su Bai" being substituted by Evol, slowly lowered the hand covering his face.

Under Sun Wukong's wary gaze and Qiangwei's confused frown, the corners of his lips curled into a playful smile.

"If I let you escape just like that... my payment won't be settled easily."

His smile didn't fade, but his eyes suddenly turned cold.

"So-- you'd better stay obediently."

Sun Wukong snorted coldly, and the dark alloy armor instantly covered his body, fitting seamlessly from his feet to his neck.

The dark alloy staff in his hand materialized, pointing directly at the opponent.

"Heh, you want to keep me, Old Sun? That depends on whether you have the ability!"

"Su Bai" unhurriedly took out an object--

Its main body was bright red, adorned with blue and gold patterns, with a circular dial engraved with intricate patterns in the center and a rotatable handle on the right.

"EVOL DRIVER--"

"Evolution Driver."

He slowly attached the driver to his waist, and the automatically extending belts on both sides secured it firmly.

Then, he took out a pitch-black device and pressed the button on top.

"Over The Evolution."

"Beyond Evolution."

Angel Yan on the side lightly rested her right hand on her chin and murmured, "Evolution...?"

Although Sun Wukong didn't know what the opponent was doing, he would never wait to be defeated.

"Hmph! Take this!"

He leaped forward, his dark alloy staff smashing down with immense force!

However, Qilin moved first.

With a flip of her wrist, a sword of emerald green appeared out of thin air, and she flashed like lightning in front of "Su Bai".

A light wave of the sword, and a emerald hurricane erupted, forcefully blocking Sun Wukong's thunderous strike.

At the same time, Angel Yan and Azhui unfurled their pure white wings behind them.

Their armor instantly equipped, they soared forward wielding the Flame Sword, forcing Sun Wukong back several steps.

"You'd best," Angel Yan said with a faint smile on her face, "wait obediently."

Sun Wukong's expression darkened as he looked at the three women blocking his path.

Meanwhile, Su Bai, who had inserted the Black Hole Trigger into the Evolution Driver, felt his eyes ignite with even fiercer excitement.

Even if the three hadn't intervened, he was confident he could stop Sun Wukong.

The Evolution Driver was merely for unleashing and amplifying power; it didn't mean he lacked combat strength himself.

The reason he was so excited...

Can't find the book by its title? You could try searching for the author, perhaps the title has changed!
