I am submissive in Journey to the West, I strike hard at the gods

Sun Wukong sneered: "What does Old Sun care about face!"
This beast has insulted my woman! I swear I will not rest until I kill him today!

Jiang Wang raised an eyebrow and lowered his voice, saying, "Monkey, calm down."

This isn't so simple. There's the Heavenly Court behind it all, the Old Man of the Moon's red thread, and Kui Mulang's audacity. Do you really think it's just a coincidence?

Sun Wukong was taken aback, the anger in his eyes subsided slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "What do you know?"
Say it! "

Just as Jiang Wang was about to speak, a long roar came from the horizon, carrying boundless pressure: "Sun Wukong!"

"I, the True Lord, have been ordered by the Jade Emperor to capture you!"

Everyone looked up and saw Yang Jian wearing a three-peaked phoenix hat, golden armor, and holding a three-pointed double-edged sword. Behind him were the six brothers of Meishan and three thousand grass-headed gods, charging in a mighty force.

Jiang Wang narrowed his eyes and muttered, "Tsk, Erlang Shen?"

This show is getting better and better.

He moved swiftly, appearing to meet Yang Jian, and said with a smile, "Brother Yang, it's been a long time. Are you here to catch monkeys today?"

Yang Jian glanced at him coldly and said in a deep voice, "Jiang Wang, who are you?"

Why are you blocking my way?

Jiang Wang laughed and spread his hands: "Me?"

They're just idle bystanders watching the spectacle.

"Yang Jian, if you're going to catch that monkey, I have to warn you, that monkey is not to be trifled with!"

Yang Jian snorted coldly: "Whether you're easy to mess with or not, you'll find out soon enough!"
Get out of the way, or I'll take you down too!

Seeing this, Sun Wukong's anger flared up again, and he roared, "Yang Jian!"
Old Sun is looking to test his skills against you!
Come on, let's have a three-hundred-round battle!

With a swing of his golden cudgel, a burst of golden light filled the sky as he hurtled towards Yang Jian.

Jiang Wang stepped aside, stroking his chin, a sly glint in his eyes: "Monkey, Yang Jian, I'd better watch this show closely..."

Jiang Wang stood on the cloud, his robes fluttering, his eyes fixed intently on the golden figure radiating light in the distance.

Sun Wukong, wielding his golden cudgel, moved with incredible speed and a whirlwind of golden energy, scattering 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals.

The sky was filled with deafening shouts of battle, the clash of swords and the interplay of blood and immortal energy, all swirling into billowing clouds.

Jiang Wang was deeply moved and secretly exclaimed, "This monkey is indeed worthy of being called the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. His combat power is simply terrifying!"
One blow from that club could probably smash a mountain to pieces!

Just as he was fully focused on watching the battle, a rapid whooshing sound came from behind him, accompanied by a cold shout: "You demon, get out of the way at once!"

Jiang Wang was slightly taken aback and turned his head to look. He saw a figure flying through the air, wearing a golden crown and silver armor. A vertical eye between his eyebrows shone brightly. It was none other than Erlang Shen, the True Lord of Manifestation, Yang Jian.

He was followed by dozens of bandits, each one fierce and menacing, wielding weapons and exuding an menacing aura.

Jiang Wang raised an eyebrow, lazily crossed his arms, and said with a hint of mockery, "Make way?"
Yang Erlang, where are you going?
That's your monkey cousin's territory up ahead; I advise you not to go looking for trouble.

His words were half true and half false, tinged with a hint of provocation, yet a faint smile played at the corners of his mouth.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian's face darkened, and his vertical eye between his brows suddenly opened, shooting out a cold light that pierced straight at Jiang Wang's face: "How dare you!"
What kind of monster are you, daring to associate with that demon monkey?
Today, heavenly troops will march to punish you, and not one of you demons will escape!

Before he finished speaking, the grass-roots gods behind him stepped forward in unison, brandishing their swords, spears, and halberds, exuding a murderous aura.

Jiang Wang raised his eyelids and sneered: "Demon monkey?"
Yang Jian, you're quick to label me like that.

I was just passing by and watching the fun, what did that do to you?

As for taking action…

He paused, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, his tone suddenly turning icy, "You're not qualified!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wang's aura suddenly erupted, like an invisible giant mountain crashing down, and the air seemed to freeze.

Caught off guard, those grass-roots gods felt an immense force rushing towards them, like a whirlwind sweeping through them. They screamed in agony as they were blasted away, falling from the clouds in utter disarray.

Yang Jian's pupils contracted, and his body swayed slightly, clearly not expecting Jiang Wang's aura to be so powerful.

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "What a fiend! He really does have some tricks up his sleeve!"

"Behold my three-pointed, double-edged sword! Today I will surely take you down!"

Jiang Wang curled his lip in disdain, waved his sleeve, and said indifferently, "Yang Jian, you should save your skills for dealing with others."

I'm not in the mood to play with you today, so behave yourself!

Before he finished speaking, an invisible suction force suddenly erupted from his sleeve, sucking Yang Jian and the grass-headed god behind him into the black hole, disappearing without a trace.

When that magical ability of "hiding the universe in one's sleeve" was unleashed, it was truly unpredictable. To the onlookers, all they saw was a flash of green light before Yang Jian and the others vanished without a trace.

Jiang Wang patted his sleeves, snorted, and turned back to look at the battlefield, muttering, "This Yang Jian, he's just showing off because he's got some skills. Humph, once he's in my sleeve, he'll slowly grind himself down until he knows what peace and quiet is."

A smile flashed in his eyes, clearly quite satisfied with his hidden secrets.

Just then, a crisp notification sound rang in my mind: "Ding!"

Congratulations, host, on completing Hidden Mission Six: Prevent Erlang Shen from fighting the Monkey King! Reward: The Righteous and Shadowless Formation of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Arts!

Jiang Wang was taken aback, then overjoyed, and hurriedly checked the mission rewards in his mind.

"Standing upright without shadow, one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Techniques, a life-saving divine power, divided into three realms..."

Jiang Wang quickly glanced through it, his heart filled with even greater excitement. "Good heavens, this supernatural power is truly remarkable!"
Concealing their presence and disappearing without a trace can be a lifesaver in a critical moment!

After a moment's thought, he decisively said, "System, learn the first two levels of the Righteous Shadowless Formation, consuming experience points!"

"Ding!

Consuming 3300 experience points, I have successfully learned the first two levels of the "Upright and Shadowless" skill!

As the system voice sounded, Jiang Wang felt a profound incantation appear in his mind, and his spiritual power trembled slightly, as if it resonated with some kind of rule in the world.

He closed his eyes for a moment, carefully considering the sensation, and a smile appeared on his lips: "It's done!"
This supernatural power is truly profound. Once I master it, even Laozi might not be able to detect my presence!

He opened his eyes and looked back at the battlefield, where Sun Wukong had already fought fiercely, turning the sky and earth dark.

One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals surged in like a tide, but he smashed them one by one with his staff, scattering them into pieces.

Nezha, wielding his Fire-Tipped Spear, lunged through the air, only to be deflected by Sun Wukong's staff. The spear tip broke off, and Nezha was sent flying backward, crashing into and collapsing a sacred mountain.

Holding the pagoda, Li Jing was filled with fear and shouted, "You demon monkey, stop your rampage!"

"Behold my exquisite pagoda to subdue you!"

The pagoda grew larger in the wind, transforming into a towering structure hundreds of feet tall, and pressed down fiercely.

Sun Wukong laughed heartily, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit: "Old Li, what can your broken tower do to me?"

He swung his golden cudgel and smashed it down, shattering the pagoda. Li Jing coughed up blood and flew backward, looking utterly disheveled.

Jiang Wang was shocked and muttered to himself, "This monkey's fighting talent is simply heaven-defying!"

The Nine Luminaries and the Twenty-Eight Constellations were all top-tier warriors in the Heavenly Court, yet they were utterly defeated by him!
With such willpower and fighting prowess, no wonder they were able to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace!

A complex look flashed in his eyes, a mixture of admiration and a hint of apprehension.

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor sat on his dragon throne, his face ashen.

In the Haotian Mirror, the scene of Sun Wukong slaughtering everyone was clearly visible, with the screams of heavenly soldiers and generals rising and falling.

The immortals fell silent, trembling. Venus trembled and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, this demon monkey is unstoppable. We are powerless and fear we cannot withstand it!"

The Jade Emperor roared, "Incompetent?"
!

One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers were no match for a single demon monkey?

!

Where is Yang Jian?

"Summon him here immediately!" A celestial official whispered, "Your Majesty, Yang Jian... Yang Jian has been captured by Jiang Wang and hidden in his sleeve, and has not emerged since..."

The Jade Emperor was startled, then slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly: "How dare you, Jiang Wang!"

"Take him down immediately!"

He turned his head, his gaze chilling, "Haotian Mirror, investigate!"

The Haotian Mirror flashed, revealing Jiang Wang's figure.

He stood atop a cloud, his robes fluttering, his gaze calmly fixed on the battlefield.

The Jade Emperor frowned and asked in a low voice, "Who is this person?"
Why be so bold?

Venus hurriedly said, "This person is named Jiang Wang. He seems to be a human cultivator with unfathomable cultivation. We do not know his origins."

The Jade Emperor sneered: "No matter who he is, daring to oppose the Heavenly Court is a capital offense!"

"Issue the imperial decree: Capture this man!"

Jiang Wang was completely unaware of the commotion inside the Lingxiao Palace and continued to focus on Sun Wukong's battle.

Suddenly, a golden light flew from the horizon. Jiang Wang's heart skipped a beat. He turned around and saw a glittering golden bracelet hurtling towards him, heading straight for the back of Sun Wukong's head.

Sun Wukong was engrossed in fighting the heavenly soldiers and was completely unaware.

Jiang Wang was startled and shouted, "Monkey, watch out!"

But it was too late. The golden light flashed and slammed into the back of Sun Wukong's head.

Sun Wukong groaned, his body went limp, and he swayed and fell to the ground, his golden cudgel clanging to the floor.

Heavenly soldiers and generals swarmed forward, bound him tightly, and escorted him to the Heavenly Court.

Jiang Wang's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "The Vajra Bracelet!"

Laozi has made his move!

Just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his head. When he turned around, another gold bracelet flew towards him, aiming straight for the back of his head.

His pupils contracted, and he shouted, "Laojun, what do you mean by this?"

An aged voice came from the clouds, tinged with a cold laugh: "Jiang Wang, you have ruined the grand affairs of my Heavenly Court. You cannot be allowed to live today!"

Jiang Wang flashed and used the Righteous and Shadowless Technique to instantly disappear from the spot.

The golden bracelet whistled past, flying into the distance, transforming into a flowing golden light that hovered in mid-air.

Jiang Wang revealed himself, standing on a cloud, and frowned, saying, "Laojun, you attacked without asking any questions. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

He felt uneasy, though. The Vajra Bracelet was Laozi's most precious treasure, with boundless power. Although he had the Righteous Shadowless Protection, he dared not be careless.

Laozi's voice drifted over, tinged with a hint of mockery: "Afraid?"
Haha, Jiang Wang, if you're not afraid, why are you dodging?

The demon monkey has already been captured. If you don't surrender now, you'll be courting death!

Jiang Wang sneered: "Laojun, your Vajra Bracelet may be powerful, but it's not enough to hurt me!"

He flicked his sleeve, his spiritual energy surging, preparing to take the blow head-on.

Just then, the Vajra Bracelet suddenly shone brightly, transforming into a golden stream of light that accelerated abruptly, heading straight for Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang's heart skipped a beat, and he shouted, "Well done!"

He swayed and once again used the "Standing Without Shadow" technique, disappearing without a trace.

The gold bracelet missed its target, circled around, and flew back into the distance.

Jiang Wang appeared, standing on a cloud, and laughed loudly: "Laojun, your bracelet is fast, but unfortunately it can't hit me!"

He secretly rejoiced, realizing that the Shadowless Formation was indeed miraculous; otherwise, he would have been unable to dodge this thunderous strike.

Laozi's voice rang out again, tinged with anger: "Jiang Wang, you have repeatedly provoked the Heavenly Court. Are you truly not afraid of death?"

Jiang Wang raised an eyebrow and said loudly, "Afraid of death?"

joke!

I, Jiang Wang, have roamed freely throughout the Three Realms and have yet to meet my match!
Laozi, if you have the ability, then come and take me yourself!

His words were arrogant, but he was deliberately trying to provoke Laozi and test his true intentions.

Sure enough, Laozi snorted coldly: "Arrogant brat, wait until I personally take action, and you will regret it!"

Before the words were finished, a figure stepped out from the clouds, with white hair and beard, exuding an air of otherworldly grace—it was none other than Laozi.

He held a whisk in his hand, his gaze cold and fixed on Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang's heart tightened, thinking to himself, "This old guy has come in person, this is big trouble!"

Although he had the Righteous and Shadowless Protection, Laozi was one of the Three Pure Ones, with boundless magical power, far beyond what ordinary immortals and gods could compare to.

He took a deep breath and shouted, "Laojun, what do you intend to do?"
Are you really going to make things difficult for me?

Laozi waved his whisk and said coldly, "Jiang Wang, you helped that demon monkey and ruined my Heavenly Court's grand plan. Today you will pay the price!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his wrist, and the whisk transformed into thousands of silver threads, sweeping towards Jiang Wang like a tidal wave.

Jiang Wang flashed around, using the "Standing Without Shadow" technique to weave through the silver threads, narrowly avoiding the attacks. He laughed and said, "Laojun, although you have many whisks, they can't do anything to me!"

Although he spoke toughly, he secretly groaned inwardly. Laozi's whisk was unpredictable, and the slightest carelessness would lead to utter ruin.

Lao Jun sneered: "Is that so?"
Then let's try this!

With a flick of his wrist, the Vajra Bracelet flew out again, this time faster and with greater force, like a golden bolt of lightning, heading straight for Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang gritted his teeth and shouted, "Not again?"

He swayed, and Zheng Liwu unleashed his full power, transforming into a phantom image to barely evade the attack.

The gold bracelet flew past the hem of his clothes, creating a gust of wind that tore a corner of his robe.

Lao Jun frowned and said in a deep voice, "Excellent movement technique!"

"Take this!"

He unleashed his whisk and vajra bracelet simultaneously, one on the left and one on the right, sealing off all of Jiang Wang's escape routes.

Jiang Wang cursed under his breath, his spiritual power surging forth and transforming into a protective light shield, forcefully blocking the blow from the whisk.

The Vajra Bracelet followed closely behind, slamming hard into the light shield with a deafening roar.

Jiang Wang groaned and staggered back several feet, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

He wiped his mouth and laughed, "Laojun, your skills are indeed well-deserved!"

However, I, Jiang Wang, am not someone to be trifled with!

His eyes blazed with fighting spirit, his hands formed hand seals, and spiritual energy surged, as if he were preparing a powerful move.

Just then, a deafening roar came from afar: "Laojun!"

Don't hurt my brother!

Jiang Wang turned his head and saw that Sun Wukong had broken free of his restraints at some point, holding the golden cudgel and flying over angrily.

He swung his staff straight at Laozi, his momentum unstoppable.

Laozi frowned, waved his whisk to block Sun Wukong's attack, and coldly shouted, "Demon monkey, now that you have been captured, do you still dare to resist?"

Sun Wukong laughed loudly: "Old man, I, Old Sun, am not convinced!"

"Come again if you dare!" (End of Chapter)
