A Fight Locked in a Dead Heat

For a time, Sun Wukong and Cao Guojiu fought fiercely, and the sky darkened and the sun and moon disappeared.

However, the battle between Sun Wukong and Cao Guojiu was not intense; it was merely a rehearsal. They wanted to test each other's strength, so both of them were very careful during the fight and were unwilling to use their full power.

After an incense stick had burned, Sun Wukong looked at Cao Guojiu and chuckled, "Keeper of the Heavenly Horses, I didn't expect you to only have the cultivation of Demon Venerable. With your strength, I could easily crush you with one hand!"

Cao Guojiu was taken aback upon hearing this, then curled his lip in disdain and said, "Hmph, Keeper of the Heavenly Horses, don't be so smug, my strength is far more than that!"

After saying that, Cao Guojiu reached into his Heaven and Earth Bag and took out three long swords, namely the White Tiger, the Black Tortoise, and the Vermilion Bird!

These three longswords were the treasures obtained from the Demon Emperor Hall, the spoils of the Demon Emperor Hall from the High Antiquity ruins.

Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow upon seeing this, then snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "It's just three Law Treasure, I have Laozi too!"

As Sun Wukong spoke these words, he took out a ring and a jade pendant, and then tossed the two Law Treasure to Princess Iron Fan and Fairy Iron Fan.

Princess Iron Fan and Fairy Iron Fan showed a hint of joy on their faces upon seeing this.

"Haha, Keeper of the Heavenly Horses, I didn't expect you to have two Spirit Artifacts! Not bad, not bad!" Cao Guojiu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration upon seeing Sun Wukong's two Spirit Artifacts.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong Keeper of the Heavenly Horses couldn't help but scoff and say, "Keeper of the Heavenly Horses, what's there to envy? This set of Spirit Artifact of Laozi came from Great Emperor Pangu. Great Emperor Pangu is a supreme being of Chaos; how could you mortals possibly possess his magical Law Treasure?"

As Sun Wukong spoke, he looked at Cao Guojiu with an arrogant expression, as if he were the Great Emperor Pangu himself.

While Sun Wukong's statement may have been somewhat exaggerated, the matter is indeed true. Great Emperor Pangu, the Great God Pangu who created the Hongmeng World and opened up the Three Thousand Great Worlds, possessed Law Treasure that were beyond the reach of ordinary beings.

Upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, Cao Guojiu's expression stiffened somewhat.

"Hmph, you Keeper of the Heavenly Horses, stop bragging!" Cao Guojiu looked at Sun Wukong with Qi Ingestion and snorted coldly. He was indeed stunned by Sun Wukong's words, but he quickly recovered and snorted coldly again.

"Tch! Keeper of the Heavenly Horses, even if you've obtained three Spirit Artifacts, your strength is only at the level of a newly ascended Demon Sage Realm Stage. You're still far from being able to defeat me!"

Cao Guojiu looked at Sun Wukong and said with a face full of disdain.

Sun Wukong, upon hearing Cao Guojiu's words, showed no anger whatsoever. He merely chuckled and said, "You, Keeper of the Heavenly Horses, go ahead and try! Let's see who's defeated first!"

Ignoring Cao Guojiu's taunts, Cao Guojiu Sun Wukong charged straight at him.

Seeing this, Cao Guojiu's face flashed with a sinister expression. He didn't dodge, but instead glared at Sun Wukong's charging figure with a ferocious look. He then suddenly raised the three Spirit Artifacts in his hands, and a huge amount of soul power surged from the three swords, directly rushing into them. The swords immediately shone with dazzling light, and then a dragon's roar Yunxiao the sky. Immediately afterwards, a terrifying power erupted from the three swords. The power on the three swords continued to accumulate, and sharp auras burst out from the swords, directly enveloping Sun Wukong.

"Hmph! Keeper of the Heavenly Horses, prepare to die!"

Cao Guojiu snorted coldly and swung his long sword down at Sun Wukong.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong did not dodge, but swung his Jingu Bang directly at Cao Guojiu's longsword.

"Bang!"

With a loud crash, the Jingu Bang and the three longswords in Cao Guojiu's hands collided, producing a deafening noise. Sun Wukong was instantly blasted away, crashing heavily to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Keeper of the Heavenly Horses, I didn't expect your Jingu Bang to be so sturdy, actually blocking my attack!" Cao Guojiu sneered upon seeing this.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong sneered, "Keeper of the Heavenly Horses, you underestimate me too much. This staff technique of mine was personally taught by the Great Emperor Pangu. How could you possibly imagine it? My Jingu Bang possesses formidable defensive capabilities!"

As he spoke, Sun Wukong got up from the ground.

Seeing this, Cao Guojiu no longer dared to underestimate Sun Wukong. After all, he had just tried it and found that Sun Wukong's Jingu Bang was indeed extremely powerful in defense.

He didn't want to fight Sun Wukong anymore. This kind of war of attrition wouldn't do him any good, and he didn't know how long he could hold out. He didn't want to waste his time here.

"Sun Wukong, since that's the case, let's not fight anymore. Let's have a duel instead, what do you say?" Cao Guojiu stared coldly at Sun Wukong and asked.

"A duel it is! Keeper of the Heavenly Horses, the Keeper of the Laozi, will accompany you to the end!" Sun Wukong said. He was indeed a little tired, and this duel would consume a lot of his internal energy. He needed to recover as soon as possible.

"Good!"

Cao Guojiu nodded upon hearing this, then his eyes flashed with intense killing intent as he coldly shouted, "Sun Wukong, today I, Cao Cao, will experience your strength firsthand and see how much you've improved over the years!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Guojiu grabbed the black spear in his hand and thrust it directly at Sun Wukong.

Cao Guojiu's move is called the "Black Flood Dragon Heaven-Breaking Spear," a Law Treasure from his Cao Household. It is extremely powerful, even stronger than a Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, hence he also calls it the "Black Flood Dragon Heaven-Breaking Spear."

The Black Flood Dragon Heaven-Breaking Spear was wielded with incredible speed by Cao Guojiu, releasing sharp auras that transformed into a black dragon that charged towards Sun Wukong Black Flood Dragon Heaven-Breaking Spear.

Upon seeing Cao Guojiu's attack, Sun Wukong's face turned serious.

At that moment, Sun Wukong felt as if his body had suddenly sunk into a quagmire, his speed instantly slowed down considerably, and a cold warning voice rang in his mind.

"Sun Wukong, be careful! This is Cao Guojiu's Black Flood Dragon Heaven-Breaking Spear. This move is extremely powerful. If you're not careful, you might suffer!"

Upon hearing the system notification, Sun Wukong was immediately startled. He hadn't expected Cao Guojiu to unleash such a powerful move.

However, Sun Wukong quickly came to his senses, and at the same time, he also felt that his movements had become much slower.

"Damn it! This Cao Guojiu is indeed more difficult to deal with than I imagined!" Sun Wukong cursed inwardly.
