Chapter 250: Chapter 250: To Sneak Attack or Not to Sneak Attack? That Is the Question! (First Update)
“Heehee, how interesting! Old Sun here actually wants to see if anyone can sneak up on me! Just the thought is thrilling!”
Sun Wukong licked his lips, his eyes brimming with a fierce desire for battle. It was the first time he had encountered this type of test, and it felt very novel!
The Void-Breaking Divine Eye had very limited use in this Mirror Space. Even at the Third Phase of Void-Breaking Heavy Pupils, it was impossible to see through the spatial barriers into another layer of Mirror Space. Nevertheless, Sun Wukong still exerted his full force to activate the Void-Breaking Divine Eye. Although he couldn’t see the situation in another layer of Mirror Space, at least all the energy fluctuations within this Mirror Space couldn’t escape his eyes. He could sense the enemy’s attack the instant it was launched.
The first time, it was because the Void-Breaking Divine Eye sensed the space power fluctuation that he promptly activated the Mysterious Heaven Nine Transformations White Cloud Smoke Body Technique to dodge. Otherwise, Sun Wukong might have been bewilderingly hit just upon entering this Divine Enthronement Mirror Space!
Holding the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, Sun Wukong continued walking toward the direction of the rosy light exit, but his footsteps had become much steadier. Now that he knew the principle behind this Mirror Space, there was nothing to fear. He just needed to be ready to counter any attack from other Mirror Spaces at any time!
“Buzz~!”
A familiar space fluctuation appeared, this time coming from the left. Sun Wukong’s facial expression remained unchanged, his mind firmly locked onto the empty area to the left.
“Swoosh!”
Suddenly, a long spear emerged from the void without any warning, stabbing fiercely towards Sun Wukong’s left flank with astonishing speed and force. It was clear the attacker was not holding back at all; this was an attempt to kill Sun Wukong in one go!
“Hmph!”
A cold smile formed on the corner of Sun Wukong’s mouth, as he thought the assailant was underestimating him far too much!
With a slight sway of his body, Sun Wukong dodged the spear’s thrust. He extended his left hand, grabbed the spear shaft, and with a forceful pull, a startled cry was heard as a figure tumbled out from the void. It was a face Sun Wukong did not recognize, likely one of the generals from the four great Heavenly Gates. There were countless immortals and gods in the Heavenly Court, apart from a few Sun Wukong could remember, the others were all passerby-like to him, easily dismissed!
Yet, it was one of these passerby-like divine generals who dared to launch a sneaky, lethal attack on him—such audacity!
“Spare, spare me… Ah!”
Pulled out from his own Mirror Space by Sun Wukong, the assailant’s face instantly turned panicked. Upon seeing Sun Wukong’s fierce, murderous face, he lost his soul with fear. He had just uttered a few words when he was heavily struck by the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, immediately turning into a mush of flesh, dead beyond revival.
“You dare to strike a deadly blow at Old Sun and then hope that Old Sun would spare you? Dream on!”
True Solar Fire spread from the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod onto the mushy remains, instantly burning it to ash. Sun Wukong snorted coldly. He did not feel that his actions were excessively ruthless. In this Mirror Space, once attacked successfully, one might face the end of life and cultivation. Anyone daring to strike him was an enemy!
Treating enemies without the slightest compassion—that was always Sun Wukong’s principle, and at this moment, he executed it to the utmost. The recent attack by this divine general had shown no mercy at all. If Sun Wukong had been injured, the opponent likely wouldn’t have spared him either, right?
“No wonder the Jade Emperor called this test Purgatory. It truly is purgatory!”
A crafty smile curled at the corner of Sun Wukong’s mouth, a strong excitement stirring within him. It had been a long time since he’d felt this excited!
“Come on, Old Sun here actually wants to see who else is foolhardy enough to seek death!”
With a low roar, Sun Wukong continued walking forward.
In another layer of the Mirror Space, Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng was walking forward, when suddenly the scene shifted in front of him, revealing Sun Wukong. However, Sun Wukong did not notice Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng, showing no reaction at all. This was a one-way spatial connection from Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng’s Mirror Space to Sun Wukong’s Mirror Space.
“It’s that monkey!”
Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng was startled, aware that this was not his first time participating in this Heavenly Court competition. Naturally, he knew the mysteries of this Divine Enthronement Mirror Space. He had already ousted several sneak attackers from the Divine Enthronement rankings, with Sun Wukong being the fourth opponent he encountered, and the first he could actively sneak up on.
To sneak attack, or not to sneak attack? That was the question!@@novelbin@@
Zhu Tianpeng was hesitant. Previously, in consideration of Donghua Emperor’s face, Sun Wukong had spared him. Later, after making numerous overtures, he finally made Sun Wukong abandon the intent to kill him. But if he were to attack now, all his previous efforts would be wasted. Succeeding was one thing, but if he failed, Zhu Tianpeng could almost imagine the ruthless means Sun Wukong would use to deal with him!
“No, no, the risk is too great. Once I fail, it’s the end for me, old Zhu!”
Shaking his head, Zhu Tianpeng forcefully resisted the temptation to launch a surprise attack on Sun Wukong. Although he didn’t have a personal experience of Sun Wukong’s strength, based on Sun Wukong’s past record, even a Quasi-Saint wouldn’t dare say for certain that they could subdue him, let alone him who had only reached the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal in cultivation?
If the strike missed and Sun Wukong recognized him, what awaited him would be a tempest of revenge. Even if it was difficult to take revenge in this Mirror Space, what about once he left? He was the Marshal of the Heavenly River Navy; he could evade the monk but could he evade the temple? Not to mention the upcoming contests; they were bound to meet sooner or later!
Forget it, better safe than sorry. It’s better not to risk it. Let someone else deal with this stinky monkey. I am a gentleman, and a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. I’ll spare him this time and not launch a sneak attack!
Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng quietly warned himself, but his gaze was constantly focused on Sun Wukong. Though he decided against a sneak attack, observing Sun Wukong in secret like this was an extremely rare opportunity. He needed to watch closely before the one-way spatial connection closed!
“Hum~!”
Accompanied by a wave of spatial fluctuations, a long saber suddenly appeared from directly in front of Sun Wukong, slashing towards his face. Sun Wukong neither dodged nor evaded but took the attack head-on. The blade struck his head, sending sparks flying everywhere, yet it didn’t leave a single scratch.
“What?”
The one who launched the sneak attack clearly didn’t expect such a result and was startled by Sun Wukong’s robust physical body. Emitting an incredulous shout, the attacker was already dragged out from another Mirror Space by Sun Wukong, who was holding the arm wielding the saber. Sun Wukong then swept his Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, smashing the attacker into a pulp, followed by incinerating him to ashes with True Solar Fire.
“The fourth one!”
Sun Wukong stated coolly, a picture of calm. However, Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng felt chills running down his spine!
The fourth one? That meant Sun Wukong had already dealt with four attackers this way? Terrifying, this demon monkey was simply a maniac, striking lethal blows without even a hint of mercy!
Zhu Tianpeng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. The scene before him suddenly blurred, and Sun Wukong’s figure disappeared; the one-way spatial connection had vanished.
Phew~!
Zhu Tianpeng heaved a sigh of relief, inwardly rejoicing that he had been wise enough not to launch a sneak attack like the others. Otherwise, his fate would probably be the same as those attackers now, smashed into mush and burned to ashes!
“This monkey is too twisted! Must avoid him at all costs!”
Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng made a resolution in his heart. Whether it was within this Divine Enthronement’s Mirror Space or in the subsequent contests, whenever he encountered Sun Wukong, he would avoid him as far as possible. If avoidance was impossible, then he might as well admit defeat. The chance to practice at the Ascend to Heaven Platform was indeed rare, but it couldn’t be compared to his own life. If his life was lost, how could he even think of practicing on the Ascend to Heaven Platform?
“Who was that just now, constantly spying on me but never making a move?”
What Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng did not know was that from the moment the one-way spatial connection appeared, Sun Wukong had already sensed the spatial fluctuations and locked onto the direction of the one-way spatial connection, albeit not showing it, just waiting for him to make a move. However, Sun Wukong found it strange that from the appearance of the spatial fluctuations until they vanished, the enemy in another Mirror Space hadn’t launched even a probing attack.
Who exactly was it?
It wouldn’t be Nezha or Qin Feng; if it were them, they surely would have already called out in greeting. It probably wasn’t Erlang God Yang Jian either; with Yang Jian’s pride, he wouldn’t have silently conceded in this way!
Who could it be then, enduring the urge not to attack as if they knew his prowess?
“Forget it, since they haven’t made a move, either they bear no ill will or they simply dare not. Whatever the case, they can’t be considered an enemy for now.”
After some thought and still clueless, Sun Wukong simply put the matter aside. Passing the current stage was the most important thing. With this enemy not taking action, there were plenty of others who would, providing ample opportunity to flex his muscles!
The contest continued, and there were still fools attempting to sneak attack Sun Wukong. For these attackers, Sun Wukong showed no mercy, pulling each directly into his own Mirror Space and blasting them to pieces. Nonetheless, there were a few with considerable strength who, though injured by the first strike of the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, managed to activate the Dharma Seal on their eyebrows and teleport out of the Divine Enthronement’s internal space, escaping with their lives.
“Are all these contenders so pathetic? Isn’t there a single capable master among them?”
