Chapter 447 One Half Each!
"Great Saint, I think it's better for you to keep your distance from Ye Zi in the future. In this situation, I feel that saying something more domineering might have a better effect!" Wu Ming turned his head and said to Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong was taken aback and said, "Really? Then you try!" After that, he addressed a squad leader from the Underworld God Army, "Hey you, can you ask that again? Wu Ming said my last answer wasn't quite right!"
The squad leader of the Underworld God Army could hardly contain his anger and immediately gave the order for all troops to attack. Watching the squad leader issue the order directly, Sun Wukong pursed his lips and said, "Ah, why is everyone so boring!" Then, empty-handed, he charged towards the two hundred neatly organized members of the Underworld God Army. Ming Tiekuang slapped his forehead and shouted, "Great Saint, charging is the Dragon Emperor's job, your task is to support from the center, support from the center!"

Sun Wukong's forward rush came to a sudden halt, and then he scratched his head somewhat sheepishly, saying, "Hehe, I forgot, I forgot. I used to just fight directly. Dragon Emperor, you go, you go!" While these words were exchanged, the Underworld God Army had already charged at them, but instead of attacking immediately, two hundred of them split into two distinct groups and encircled Sun Wukong and the four others, then quickly formed a Formation.
"Ming Tiekuang, what Formation is this? It looks so, so..." "So weak, right? Feels like we could break through easily no matter which direction we attack? It's not a very clever Formation, it makes no difference to me whether it's there or not. Dragon Emperor, just attack straight on later, don't worry about the others. Wu Ming, watch the sky. Hei Kui, watch the ground. Great Saint, you, just do whatever you want!" After speaking, the Dragon Emperor, impatient as ever, rushed out. The golden Dragon Lance that he had thrown before had reappeared in his hands at some unknown point.
Surrounded by a surge of golden light, the Dragon Emperor charged towards what seemed to be the most strongly defended front. In front of the Dragon Emperor, fifty people, each holding a huge Tower Shield, formed a Shield Wall. Seeing the Dragon Emperor charging over, the fifty men shouted in unison and then abruptly thrust fifty sharp spears through gaps in the Shield Wall. Just as the spears reached their positions, the Dragon Emperor also collided with them.
The Dragon Emperor was truly formidable; his unstoppable momentum and unbreakable might caused fear in those who saw it. Were it not for the Underworld God Army being the elite of the elite from yesteryears' battlefield, further strengthened by a million years of tempering, their wills would be nearly indestructible. Yet, although their will remained unshaken, neither the Shield Wall nor the fifty sharp spears could stop the Dragon Emperor.
He first used the Dragon Lance in his hand to stab straight at the tip of an opposing spear, then condensed a golden light in his left hand and slammed out a fist, instantly cracking the massive Tower Shield. Following that, he delivered a knee strike and shattered the front shield, and with a swing of his Dragon Lance, he made a gap in the Shield Wall. Then, the Dragon Emperor suddenly leapt high into the air, a move so unexpected that everyone was taken aback; instead of expanding his victory after breaking through the Shield Wall, he chose to jump up.
The very next moment, the Underworld God Army understood why. As the Dragon Emperor leaped, the ground beneath them began to violently shake and tremble, and then countless spikes gleaming with golden light shot up from the ground. Despite the sudden appearance of the earth spikes, the Underworld God Army reacted swiftly; they tilted their Tower Shields forward and rolled onto them, half-crouching atop their shields as the spikes pierced the shields and sent the Underworld God Army flying into the air.
Their reaction was quick and correct; dodging in that brief moment was impossible, so the only thing they could do was to defend, with the only means of defense being their shield. However, this very standard defensive move delivered them straight to their deaths, because at that moment, the Dragon Emperor had already soared high into the air, poised right above them.
The Dragon Emperor, suspended in mid-air, twisted his body so that it was parallel to the ground. His right fist and entire right arm shone brightly with golden light, which was not merely a simple glow but radiated like thunderous lightning. One could vaguely make out a thick Dragon Arm forming within the golden light.
The Dragon Emperor then launched a punch into the Void. The golden light on his right arm exploded in an instant, enveloping the fifty Underworld God Army soldiers crouching on their shields. After a series of piercing explosion sounds, the ground where the earth spikes had risen from had sunk deeply, forming the impression of a profound five-clawed Dragon Claw mark. Meanwhile, the Dragon Emperor seemed to have done something quite trivial and floated down gently.
"Weren't we only supposed to keep our strength at the level of Nine Patterns Supreme? This Dragon Emperor is cheating!" Wu Ming stared blankly at the strike from the Dragon Emperor and said unwittingly. "The Dragon Emperor didn't use his full strength; his aura and Cultivation are indeed only at Nine Patterns, but this guy is way too strong!" Sun Wukong could clearly see this as his Fiery Eyes were already released. Moreover, Sun Wukong knew that to deal with these people, the Dragon Emperor only needed two moves. The sudden earth spikes and his final punch were actually not earth spikes at all, but metallic spikes formed entirely from sharp Metal Elements. As for his initial thrust and punch that had broken through the Shield Wall, it was merely the Dragon Emperor proving that the Shield Wall was as insubstantial as paper and cloth to him.
In just less than three breaths' time, from the charge to the annihilation of those fifty men, the Dragon Emperor fully displayed his extreme strength. The squad leader of the Underworld God Army, after his shock, quickly recovered and shrieked with a pale face, "You, you, you dare to kill men of the Underworld God Army? You, you're all dead for sure, dead for sure!" Though his mouth said so, he couldn't help but step back and again shouted loudly, "Retreat, all units of the Underworld God Army, we can't handle these people!"
As soon as the squad leader gave the order, the rest of the Underworld God Army turned and ran in unison. Although they were retreating, there was no chaos among them. Even though they weren't in any particular formation, they still retreated in groups of three or five. Sun Wukong knew they were doing this to be ready to use their combined strike move at any moment. "Dragon Emperor, take a break. Don't intervene anymore, it's really a waste, such a waste!" Seeing the orderly retreat of the Underworld God Army, Hei Kui hurriedly shouted to the Dragon Emperor, who was about to make another move.
Hearing Hei Kui's words, the Dragon Emperor indeed stopped and with a few swift movements, returned behind Sun Wukong. Hei Kui truly breathed a sigh of relief, then placed his hands on the sides of his face, rubbing his own cheeks while saying, "Everyone stay away from me. Then block your ears, close your eyes, and shut off your senses. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong, I take no responsibility!" After saying that, Hei Kui thought for a moment and then said to Wu Ming, "Wanna split it? We can handle it half each!" Wu Ming immediately nodded his head in excitement, grinning from ear to ear.
Then Sun Wukong saw Hei Kui rubbing his face while Wu Ming was stretching his body. They just watched the rest of the Underworld God Army retreat further and further. The distance from here to the black castle wasn't far to begin with. If they hadn't been guarding against Sun Wukong and the others potentially launching a surprise attack, they would have already retreated back into the castle by now.
Although puzzled, Sun Wukong and the others still quickly retreated and sealed off their hearing. As for vision and other senses, they did not seal those off. Soon after, Sun Wukong saw Wu Ming's body suddenly vanish, and about one-third of a breath after Wu Ming disappeared, Hei Kui suddenly opened his mouth wide. But even though his mouth was wide open, no sound came out. At first, Sun Wukong thought Hei Kui was brewing something, but after a while, still no sound was heard.
Uncovering his ears, Sun Wukong remembered he had sealed his hearing. But for a moment, he was tempted to listen to what Hei Kui was shouting. Last time, he had absorbed some of the might from Hei Kui's earth-shattering roar, so he still had some resistance to sonic attacks. However, when Sun Wukong slightly unsealed the hearing in one ear, there still wasn't any sound. Not willing to give up, Sun Wukong gradually completely unsealed his right ear, yet still heard nothing.
Just as Sun Wukong was beginning to wonder if something was wrong with his ears, suddenly, his whole body trembled and then two streams of blood trickled from his nostrils. He also immediately felt his soul vibrating slightly. It was then that he finally heard Hei Kui's voice: "You lot, freeze!"
Yes, the words that Hei Kui had been holding back to shout were just this simple sentence. It wasn't any incantation or bizarre language he had envisioned, but just this unexpectedly banal phrase. Yet, as soon as these words were shouted, the majority of the Underworld God Army, who had entered the Black Castle, actually all stopped in their tracks. At this moment, while enduring the discomfort in his body, Sun Wukong suddenly saw a faint red breeze sweep around the bodies of those people.
The breeze didn't last long, gone in a flash. Afterwards, Hei Kui's voice started up again: "Underworld God Army, your grandpa Hei Kui is calling you home for dinner!" As soon as Hei Kui's voice fell, the members of the Underworld God Army, as if bewitched, all turned around and, with stiff legs, hopped and jumped toward Hei Kui's direction. Hei Kui, quite satisfied, nodded his head and turned to Sun Wukong and the others, "All done, come over. Oh, Great Saint, why do you have a nosebleed?"
How could Sun Wukong admit that he couldn't resist trying to hear what Hei Kui was shouting and got shocked as a result? He quickly shook his head, "I've been a bit hot-headed recently, it's nothing!" Soon, the remaining one hundred and fifty members of the Underworld God Army, now like zombies, were once again in front of the group. But this time, their eyes were dull and lifeless, clearly under control.
After a careful look around, Hei Kui suddenly extended his hand and spat twice on his palms, then slapped it onto the foreheads of two members of the Underworld God Army. Right after, those two individuals suddenly knelt down to Hei Kui!
As Hei Kui was slapping saliva onto the foreheads of the Underworld God Army, Wu Ming also returned, with a group of people, or rather, a group of spirits, following behind him.
Is this what Hei Kui meant by 'splitting it half each'? (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Starting Point ) to vote for recommendations and Monthly Passes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
