Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 896 - 782: Zhu Bajie’s Abnormality
Chapter 896 -782: Zhu Bajie’s Abnormality
Demon Spirit Butcher quickly realized that the one he was fighting against was definitely not the Zhu Bajie before him. Or rather, the one attacking him wasn’t Zhu Bajie, but someone else entirely. Zhu Bajie’s role was merely to restrict or entangle him. Moreover, Demon Spirit Butcher discovered that whenever Zhu Bajie touched him, an undetectable attack would appear, and each strike landed perfectly. From this, it could be inferred that the attacker from the shadows used Zhu Bajie as a medium. In a short span of time, Demon Spirit Butcher was hit three times, and his entire left arm now had three walnut-sized holes. Even the bones had been shattered in an instant, rendering the left arm useless.
Demon Spirit Butcher was getting agitated. Although he still had one more resurrection opportunity, it was the last one. If he were to die two more times, the last death would be the real and complete end. Demon Spirit Butcher’s heart was restless, yet Zhu Bajie clung to him like glue, impossible to shake off. All of Demon Spirit Butcher’s attacks on Zhu Bajie had little effect, while the one attacking in the dark had unprecedented might. At this rate, things would only get worse for Demon Spirit Butcher with time.
As for Zhu Bajie, the more he fought, the more exhilarated he felt. How long had it been since he had such a satisfying battle? Moreover, he now had no worries whatsoever, with the power of devouring for defense and the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon for attack. Indeed, it was the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon that had stealthily attacked Demon Spirit Butcher three times already. After Zhu Bajie obtained the power of devouring, the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon within him also benefited significantly, evolving into a mature form and gaining unprecedented evolution. Now, each of his strikes was pure Primordial Flame. If the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon had enough time to charge up, even killing Demon Spirit Butcher in an instant wouldn’t be difficult.
However, Zhu Bajie didn’t dare take that risk. If the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon were attacked during charging, it would explode, and the ones who’d suffer would definitely be his own allies. So Zhu Bajie resorted to this method. He also knew that his attacks probably had little effect on Demon Spirit Butcher. Yet, one had to admit, Zhu Bajie’s method was highly effective. Demon Spirit Butcher couldn’t escape him. This was exactly the outcome Zhu Bajie sought.
Wielding his Nine-Toothed Rake in broad strokes, Zhu Bajie was fighting with relish. But just then, his whole body froze and he suddenly turned around, charging towards the people protected in the Golden Tree Forest. The Nine-Toothed Rake in his hand went wild, crazily smashing the outermost golden trees. With Zhu Bajie’s attack, his devouring power began to slowly spread to the Nine-Toothed Rake. Before long, the outermost golden tree was utterly ruined and then devoured entirely by him. Then Zhu Bajie continued wielding the Nine-Toothed Rake, heading towards the direction where the people were.
Demon Spirit Butcher in the sky was stunned. What on earth was happening? Why, in the middle of a fight, did Zhu Bajie suddenly start attacking his own side? As soon as Zhu Bajie launched an attack on the golden trees, White Dragon inside immediately sensed it and was surprised, but he and Sha Wujing were blocked by the Beast Emperor, leaving them no time to investigate. In the brief interval, he shouted, “Second Brother, what are you doing? What’s happened?” White Dragon could feel Zhu Bajie using the devouring power to destroy the Golden Forest, but he didn’t understand why and assumed something was going on outside.
Yet White Dragon received no response, and instead, because of a doppelganger, got clawed on the back by the Beast Emperor. Outside, more and more devouring power was gathering on the Nine-Toothed Rake in Zhu Bajie’s hand, making even the sturdy golden trees unable to withstand his attacks, shattering large chunks at each strike, while Demon Spirit Butcher followed behind him in bewilderment, not knowing what was going on. It didn’t take too long before Zhu Bajie broke through to the outside of a golden tree branch barrier protecting the Divine Nations Alliance and others. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Seeing Zhu Bajie, Ye Zi’s heart lit up with joy, but he immediately realized something was wrong with Zhu Bajie. As if to confirm his suspicions, Zhu Bajie quickly demolished the golden branch defense and dashed towards Zhibei with the Nine-Toothed Rake dragged behind him. Seeing Zhu Bajie’s demeanor, everyone realized something was amiss. Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Po Jun exchanged a glance, then both charged forward, swords drawn in a shout of rage. Though neither was in their best state, as swordsmen, they needed to be at the forefront of every battle, advancing fearlessly.
One to the left, one to the right; the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss and Gan Jiang Mo Ye Divine Swords crossed, directly blocking Zhu Bajie’s upward rake. “Zhu Bajie, what are you doing? Have you gone mad?” Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Po Jun, already injured, combined their strength to block Zhu Bajie’s strike. However, Zhu Bajie held back nothing in his attack. He fought with abandon, risking everything. As a result, it was extremely hefty, and Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Po Jun felt their bodies shake, causing their previous injuries to flare up.
Rogue Heart Sword Hero’s angry shout received no response, as Zhu Bajie paid no heed to his words. The Nine-Toothed Rake was held up by both of them. Zhu Bajie yanked once but failed to extricate it, hesitated for a moment, and then surprisingly abandoned the rake, ducking down to squeeze between them. It seemed his target wasn’t them, but someone behind them. “Po Jun, help me buy some time.” Rogue Heart Sword Hero flicked his wrist, tossing the Nine-Toothed Rake away and stepped back three steps, sheathing his sword.
Po Jun hadn’t finished speaking, yet with half a turn of his body, he planted Gan Jiang Mo Ye behind one of Zhu Bajie’s advancing legs. If Zhu Bajie dared move, the razor-sharp Gan Jiang Mo Ye would certainly slice off his other leg. Po Jun’s understanding of the sword was equally beyond imagination. When fighting him, your greatest impression would be that his sword could appear anywhere at any time. The commonality among these places was that they were all locations or angles you despised. Po Jun had this capability, using his sword to drive you into a corner with no escape, leaving death as the only option to fight him to the end.
This was Po Jun’s Sword Dao, the Dao of Mutual Destruction, seeking to drag the enemy to his doom. If you couldn’t risk your life to fight, you’d best avoid crossing swords with Po Jun. If it were the normal Zhu Bajie, he’d certainly come to a halt immediately. Zhu Bajie was never known for his bravery, to say nothing of calling him a coward was already a courtesy. But the current Zhu Bajie wasn’t in a normal state, so he charged forward without hesitation, glancing not at his feet.
Seeing Zhu Bajie like this, Po Jun sighed inwardly. With a twist of his wrist, he shifted Gan Jiang Mo Ye to block, swinging them across at once. If it were anyone else, Po Jun would’ve cut them down with this slash. However, this was Zhu Bajie. It was clear that something was wrong with him. If Po Jun were to really cut off Zhu Bajie’s leg, he would have no way to explain himself to Sun Wukong once Zhu Bajie recovered.
At this moment, Zhu Bajie was tripped by Po Jun, but did not fall. Pressing both hands on the ground, he flipped his body with incredible agility, landing steadily. Just then, Rogue Heart Sword Hero’s attack was upon him. At some point, Rogue Heart Sword Hero positioned himself directly in Zhu Bajie’s path, leaning forward with the sword scabbard in his left hand, gripping the sword hilt in the right, wielding the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Longsword more like a blade in a strike reminiscent of his favorite Demon-breaking Vanquish Slash.
Zhu Bajie had just landed when Rogue Heart Sword Hero drew his sword, and at that moment, a crystalline sheen enveloped his blade, making the whole sword resemble a slightly curved Tang Blade. Rogue Heart Sword Hero still preferred using Tang Blades.
In the next instant, Rogue Heart Sword Hero’s pupils contracted sharply. Having already swung the sword, he reversed it abruptly, striking with the flat of the blade. This maneuver was originally meant to be a horizontal slash, but he suddenly realized Zhu Bajie’s eyes were vacant, with no intention of dodging, appearing as though he planned to take the hit head-on.
