Two Shit-Stirring Sticks

One of Spirit Mountain's famed Eighteen Arhats had actually been humiliated like this by a monkey!

How could this monkey be so shameless?

Sun Wukong paid no mind to any of that. Though he had cultivated on Mount Fangcun for many years, almost none of the arts he had learned were meant for combat.

His greatest means of attack was his body alone.

Besides, he had only just returned and had no weapon, leaving him to fight barehanded.

But as a Lingming Stone Monkey, intelligence was his natural strength. What was more, he had been nurtured within the Heaven-Mending Stone, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon.

A demon's body was already formidable, let alone one nourished by the essence of the sun and moon.

The Great Grade Heavenly Immortal Art was also a textbook case of an immortal body already being formed. His punch slammed into Tiger-Taming's crotch, forcibly breaking his Arhat Golden Body.

Tiger-Taming Arhat plummeted toward the ground with something close to a scream. Sun Wukong seized the chance and unleashed move after move.

Sneak attacks, close-quarters strikes, even tearing at him with his teeth.

Tiger-Taming Arhat's body was powerful, but!

Sun Wukong was, after all, at the same realm as him. Tiger-Taming simply could not withstand the continuous attacks.

Faced with an onslaught like a raging storm, Tiger-Taming could only retreat again and again.

On top of that, he had his misgivings. Guessing that Sun Wukong might be a chess piece the Buddha had left behind, he found himself with no desire to fight for the moment.

Seizing an opportunity, he threw a punch accompanied by the shadow of a tiger, which pounced at Sun Wukong in an instant.

By the time Sun Wukong shattered the tiger's shadow before him, Tiger-Taming had turned into a streak of golden light and vanished.

"You fiend! Sooner or later, this humble monk will suppress you beneath my fists." As Tiger-Taming retreated, he left those harsh words behind.

He already understood the whole story. The monkeys on Flower-Fruit Mountain knew nothing of the particulars; that opportunity was with the fleeing human.

He had to catch the human. Whether it was that innate lightning or the armor capable of releasing Samadhi True Fire, both should be fated for him, Tiger-Taming.

Sun Wukong clenched his fists and watched Tiger-Taming leave, his face full of unwillingness. His powerful six senses, in particular, allowed him to hear the screams of his children behind him clearly.

It made Sun Wukong's heart tremble.

He had learned the arts to achieve longevity, but also to protect his children on Flower-Fruit Mountain.

But! He was still too weak!

He had to grow stronger again, master new divine abilities and a new weapon!

Sun Wukong turned around and hesitated no longer. He immediately returned to his monkeys and their descendants, using his powerful magic to send the rocks that had fallen during the fight flying.

At the same time, he began channeling magic into the bodies of the gravely wounded monkeys.

"Great King! You're finally back! And you've become so strong!" Marshal Ma, one of the four mighty generals, hurried over to Sun Wukong, his face full of excitement.

Yet Sun Wukong shook his head at the praise. "I'm not strong at all. I couldn't keep that damned bald donkey here."

Sun Wukong gritted his teeth and could not help sighing inwardly. If he had more divine abilities and techniques, and a weapon, he would surely have made sure that bald donkey came but never returned.

"Great King, there's no need to blame yourself. You've already done very well," Marshal Liu comforted him.

"Let's put that aside for now. How have you been all these years I was away?"

Sun Wukong took a deep breath, clearing the thoughts from his mind, and looked earnestly at the four old monkeys.

"Great King, after you left, we lived well at first. But later, a Demon King of Havoc appeared from who knows where. He was powerful and would send his underlings to Flower-Fruit Mountain from time to time, where they captured some of our young children and ate them alive, skin and all." Tears streamed down General Ba's face as she spoke.

"Demon King of Havoc! Damn him!! I'll kill him!" Sun Wukong flew into a rage at this. The good mood he had been in upon returning had been ruined by that bald donkey.

The fight had been evenly matched, and he had been unable to keep his opponent there. His anger was already bottled up inside him.

Now Sun Wukong needed to vent fiercely. He wanted to see just what sort of figure this so-called Demon King of Havoc was.

"Great King, there's no need to worry. The Demon King of Havoc has already been killed by a hero," Marshal Ma explained.

"Oh? A hero? Where was this person from? They saved my monkeys and their descendants, so Old Sun must thank them properly." Sun Wukong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked.

"Well..." The four old monkeys exchanged glances, then pointed at a damaged wooden statue ahead.

"Only Big Gray knows the details about that hero. Big Gray was also the one who led them to the Water Filth Cave to kill the Demon King of Havoc, but Big Gray..." Marshal Liu looked at the unconscious Gray Monkey, who was still trembling.

"It's all right. Now that Old Sun has returned, I won't let any being take you all away." A glint of determination flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes.

He channeled a steady stream of magic into Gray Monkey's body.

Sun Wukong's fight with Tiger-Taming had also drawn the attention of many.

Foremost among them was the Bull Demon King, who was traveling through the area.

"What precise demonic power. That Buddha light must belong to a bald donkey from Spirit Mountain, right? Could another demon king have been born among our demon race?" Five hundred meters from Flower-Fruit Mountain, the Bull Demon King had just returned from Jade-face Princess's place. When he sensed the fierce fluctuations in the distance, his eyes went as wide as copper bells.

After a moment's thought, the Bull Demon King summoned a demon cloud without hesitation, preparing to go and see for himself.

The Bull Demon King had lived such a comfortable life thanks to one thing!

Making friends far and wide!

Besides, demonic power that pure was already no weaker than his own. Its owner would surely grow into a pillar of the demon race in the future, so there was no harm in getting acquainted early.

Because of the Primordial Chaos Creation Divine Lightning, the attention of many powerful beings in the Three Realms had already gathered on Flower-Fruit Mountain.

For the Heavenly Court in particular, only a few incense sticks' worth of time had passed before another fierce commotion came from Flower-Fruit Mountain.

The Jade Emperor was the first to sense it. Golden light flashed in his eyes, and when he saw what was happening, he could not help but be stunned.

"Spirit Mountain actually got into a fight with this monkey?"

The Jade Emperor could not help laughing aloud at the sight.
