Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Chapter 348: Chapter 348: Don’t Stop? (2nd Update)

“Uncle, my mother has already passed away. She died of illness three years ago. My father blocked the news, not allowing any of you to know,”

Duanmu Bai’s eyes flashed with a hint of sorrow. He had witnessed the suffering of his mother, Liushui Siqi, over the years. For Duanmu Ci, she had forsaken the entire Liushui Family, given up her parents and relatives, and came alone to the Duanmu Clan to strive alongside Duanmu Ci, only to be met with his fickleness.

They say nothing is sadder than a dead heart, and Liushui Siqi’s had long since died. Once Duanmu Bai grew up and developed some ability to fend for himself, Liushui Siqi could no longer hold on and passed away three years ago from Demonic Possession during her cultivation.

To say it was Demonic Possession, it was actually more of a heartbreak, life had become unbearable for her. Otherwise, how could she have suddenly succumbed to Demonic Possession?

Duanmu Ci even suspected whether his mother truly died from Demonic Possession or if she was sabotaged by someone. However, all the information was blocked by his father, Duanmu Ci, and he couldn’t find out anything. Eventually, he had to accept this explanation.

“Dead? She’s actually dead!”

Liushui Quxiang’s eyes went blank, his facial expression flickering uncertainly. Liushui Siqi had already been dead for over three years!

He hadn’t received any news at all!

“Damn Duanmu Ci! Damn Duanmu Clan!”

Liushui Quxiang’s eyes reddened and a violent aura steamed up from him as he grabbed Duanmu Bai’s shoulders and suddenly tightened his grip, causing Duanmu Bai to cry out in pain.

“Let him go!”

Just as Duanmu Bai was about to collapse to the ground, Sun Wukong moved. In a flash, he appeared behind Liushui Quxiang, reached out, and seized the arms that were gripping Duanmu Bai’s shoulders, squeezing hard as he channeled Chaos Primordial Force into his arms and exerted force fiercely.

“Who are you?”

The intense force pulled Liushui Quxiang back from his boundless rage, causing him severe pain.

“Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong!”

Sun Wukong cast a cool glance at Liushui Quxiang, “Behaving so recklessly in my presence, do you think I, Old Sun, am dead?”

Although Sun Wukong did not emit any special aura, he made Liushui Quxiang feel a profound threat and an inexplicable shiver.

Instinct told Liushui Quxiang that Sun Wukong was a very dangerous man!

“Great Sage Equalling Heaven? You are the Great Sage Equalling Heaven?”

Liushui Quxiang’s brow jumped fiercely. He had heard much of Sun Wukong’s name these past few days. No walls are impermeable to the wind, and the news of Sun Wukong deploying the Heaven-Breaking Domain to annihilate all the Demon Race experts without leaving a single survivor had already spread across the entire Demonic Realm. The name of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven was now universally known in the Demonic Realm.

And this was still under the circumstances that his previous fight in the Myriad Beast Mountains with the Heavenly Demon Dragon was unknown. Otherwise, his fame in the Demonic Realm would have been even louder!

“Since you know my name and still dared to act against someone in my presence, family head of the Liushui Family, you really have quite the guts!”

Sun Wukong sneered again and again. He had already been displeased that Liushui Quxiang had ignored them for so long, and now Liushui Quxiang even dared to attack Duanmu Bai right in front of him. Uncle could tolerate, but aunt could not!

With a mere thought, Sun Wukong’s Chaos Primordial Force transformed into a series of sharp swords and stabbed into Liushui Quxiang’s arm. Liushui Quxiang tried to activate the Primordial Force within his body to resist, but he found it completely incapable of withstanding the onslaught of Sun Wukong’s strength. It was directly devoured by the tiny sharp swords of Chaos Primordial Force, augmenting them as they stabbed towards various parts of his body.

“Ah!”

An unbearable intense pain pierced into Liushui Quxiang’s mind, causing him to scream in agony as though his entire body was being dismembered.

“No, stop it!”

Liushui Quxiang’s grip on Duanmu Bai loosened under the excruciating pain, and he began to plead pitifully.

“Is it ‘stop it,’ or ‘don’t stop’?”

Sun Wukong’s lips curved into a sly smile, watching Liushui Quxiang’s agonizing and pleading expression eased a lot of the resentment in his heart.

“Stop, stop it!”

Liushui Quxiang’s face was almost contorted with pain, leaving no room to care about Sun Wukong’s teasing. He immediately continued to scream hoarsely.

“You want me to stop just because you say so? Wouldn’t that make Old Sun look very dishonorable?”

Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow and looked towards Duanmu Bai, “Duanmu, should I let go, or shouldn’t I?”

“This…”

Duanmu Bai was somewhat hesitant. Liushui Quxiang had shown no mercy when subduing him just now, completely disregarding the familial relationship between nephew and uncle, which had greatly annoyed him. However, he could understand, perhaps it was precisely because the bond between Liushui Quxiang and his mother, Liushui Siqi, had been so deep that he became so enraged and violent upon hearing the news of his mother’s death. From this perspective, it wasn’t unforgivable.

“Great Sage, let him go. After all, he is my uncle!”

Duanmu Bai sighed and said, seemingly placing great importance on the familial bonds between him and Liushui Quxiang, but Sun Wukong already had a deep understanding of this man’s character. He knew very well that this guy was far from virtuous and faithful. The only reason he said this was to appear favorable in front of Liushui Quxiang, to facilitate asking for help later on.

“Well then, for your sake, Duanmu, I’ll spare him this time!”

Originally, Sun Wukong had asked Duanmu Bai intending to owe Duanmu Bai a favor; he certainly wouldn’t object. He nodded and withdrew his hand from Liushui Quxiang’s arm. Liushui Quxiang collapsed to the ground, gasping for air, his entire body soaked in sweat. He looked at Sun Wukong with eyes full of terror.

What kind of energy exactly had the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong, injected into his body that left him utterly powerless? He had already achieved Quasi-Saint Cultivation, and it seemed that there was no significant difference between his cultivation and Sun Wukong’s, yet he was so easily defeated!

Liushui Quxiang was secretly shocked and circulated his Qi and breathed deeply for a good while before he managed to expel the Chaos Primordial Force Sun Wukong had forced into his body, finally letting out a huge sigh of relief, his eyes filled with even more fear.

“Family Head, are you alright?”

A group of Liushui Family guards stormed into the hall, glaring furiously at Sun Wukong and his companions, ready to attack at a signal from Liushui Quxiang.

“It’s nothing, you all may leave.”

Liushui Quxiang waved his hand. Even he had been completely overpowered by Sun Wukong, so how could these guards of the Duanmu Clan possibly stand a chance against him? If a fight really broke out, provoking this monkey might lead these skilled fighters of the Duanmu Clan to be utterly obliterated like those experts from the Demon Race in Dragon Abyss City, never to transcend in spirit or form!@@novelbin@@

“You, this guy, do know the times! Why couldn’t have you acted this way from the start?”

Sun Wukong laughed lightly. Indeed, he was not afraid of those disciples from the Liushui Family; to him, those fellows were no different from ants!

With the ant-like strength of these fellows, Sun Wukong didn’t consider them a threat at all. If a battle really took place, these people likely couldn’t endure even one of his attacks! Liushui Quxiang’s judgment was quite accurate!

“Great Sage, you didn’t come to my Liushui Family just to stand up for Duanmu Bai, did you? Speak plainly. What exactly do you want?”

Given Sun Wukong’s monstrous strength, Liushui Quxiang was indeed curious about what he really wanted from the Liushui Family.

“Old Sun came along with this lad Duanmu Bai, of course to support him!”

Sun Wukong nudged his chin towards Duanmu Bai and then added, “Of course, Old Sun does have a favor to ask from your Liushui Family, but let’s talk about it after you agree to help Duanmu Bai stabilize the situation.”

“That, I’m afraid I can’t be much help!”

Liushui Quxiang gave Duanmu Bai a glance, his eyes shifting as he spoke. Honestly, he didn’t want to help Duanmu Bai. Although Duanmu Bai was his own nephew, it was precisely because of Duanmu Bai’s father, Duanmu Ci, that his favorite younger sister, Liushui Siqi, had become estranged from the family, and there had been no contact for many years.

Moreover, Liushui Siqi had already passed away three years ago, and yet their Liushui Family had received no information at all. The Duanmu Clan had kept the news too tightly sealed; it was clearly deliberate, aiming to keep him unaware of Liushui Siqi’s fate.

Thinking of this, Liushui Quxiang felt his heart block up with frustration. How could he even think about helping Duanmu Bai?

“Can’t help?”

Sun Wukong grinned mischievously and snorted, “It looks to me like you don’t want to help, right? Simply helping Duanmu Bai take control of the situation and letting the Duanmu Clan recover should be a simple matter for your Liushui Family, and for you, Liushui Quxiang, is it not?”

“This…”

“Alright, no more excuses. Just answer me this, will you help or not?”

Sun Wukong was getting impatient. He directly interrupted Liushui Quxiang, his burning gaze fixed on him. If this guy dared to refuse, Sun Wukong wouldn’t let him off as easily as he had earlier!

Liushui Quxiang’s eyes flashed with anger. After all, he was the Family Head of the Liushui Family, and being threatened in his own territory was a significant humiliation. Had it not been for knowing the vast gap in strength between him and Sun Wukong, that even if he had given his all, he wouldn’t be able to win, he would have exploded already!

To agree, or not to agree?

Liushui Quxiang found himself in a dilemma.

“Liushui, do you still remember me?”

The Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan, who had been quietly sitting to the side enjoying tea, raised his head, and Liushui Quxiang only then noticed this “attendant” clad in a black coat that enveloped his entire body.

The Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan had dressed this way intentionally, not wanting to be recognized. Originally, he had also wanted Sun Wukong to dress down a bit, but Sun Wukong had refused, such hiding and skulking were simply not his style!
