CHAPTER 530: CHAPTER 471, SUN WUKONG IS PUNISHED

As if caught by an elder doing something naughty, Sun Wukong felt a bit guilty and quickly retorted, "It is the Heavenly Court that wronged me greatly. Possessing immense abilities, yet the old Jade Emperor made me tend to his horses. Why didn’t Emperor Gouchen help me?"

"I am only following orders. If you have reasons, you can speak to the Emperor yourself. Now surrender yourself!" Ao Bing immediately charged down, attacking Sun Wukong.

A flash of anger crossed Sun Wukong’s eyes as he shouted, "Dare you underestimate me, old Sun? Rather, I shall capture you and you can take me to the Emperor!"

Sun Wukong charged forth, the Golden Hoop Rod reaching up to the sky.

Bang~ Fangtian Halberd and Golden Hoop Rod crossed in mid-air, unleashing ripples that swept away thousands of miles of clouds and smoke, tumbling surrounding Heavenly Soldiers and Generals in agony.

Ao Bing and Sun Wukong soared into the sky simultaneously; Fangtian Halberd and Golden Hoop Rod clashing noisily, creating earth-shaking tremors, like phantoms continuously intertwining in the air.

Clang~ Golden Hoop Rod and Fangtian Halberd flew out, automatically engaging in a high-altitude battle.

Bang~

Bang~

Bang~

...

Sun Wukong and Ao Bing exchanged punches and kicks, each move fiercely contested.

Slap~ Slap~ Both grabbed each other’s fists at the same time.

Sun Wukong, somewhat shocked, said, "The East Sea Dragon King even has such an outstanding dragon son like you?!"

Ao Bing responded, "You’re not bad yourself!"

Both kicked at the same time, Bang~ their feet collided, both tumbling backward, Fangtian Halberd and the Golden Hoop Rod falling but caught by Ao Bing and Sun Wukong respectively.

Without hesitation, they both charged at each other again, fully igniting their raging battle spirits.

Sun Wukong’s body flashed with light, instantly transforming into a fierce tiger pouncing towards Ao Bing, its sharp teeth gleaming with golden light, showing ferocious force.

Ao Bing’s expression shifted, mastering the Earthly Fiend 72 Transformations, having sparred with Nezha, Yang Jian, and Yang Jiao in the Judicial Temple over the epochs, Ao Bing was seasoned in countering the Earthly Fiend Transformation Technique and had his tactics.

The moment the fierce tiger approached, Ao Bing executed an iron bridge move backward, Fangtian Halberd sweeping past, Clang~ a burst of Divine Light splattered as the two crossed paths.

A thought flashed through Ao Bing’s mind, now was the perfect time to transform into a flying creature, indeed the tiger in a flash of light turned into a Golden Eagle, swooping towards Ao Bing.

Ao Bing spun around, Fangtian Halberd vibrating, tiny cold lights spun into a net aiming for the Golden Eagle.

Ping Ping Pang Pang~ Golden Eagle and the net collided, scattering Divine Light, Golden Eagle flailing helplessly.

Another thought flashed in Ao Bing’s mind, the next should be something like a Spirit Snake.

Sure enough, the Golden Eagle vanished, and instantly a gray long snake slipped through the net, lunging with its fangs flashing chillingly at Ao Bing.

Ao Bing swiftly sidestepped, grabbed the gray snake’s vital spot, and with a sudden shake, a series of cracking sounds echoed.

"Ah~" A painful scream rose, the gray snake instantaneously reverted back to Sun Wukong, captured in Ao Bing’s grasp, his body limp.

Ao Bing laughed heartily and said, "Sun Wukong, if you didn’t use your transformation technique, capturing you wouldn’t be this simple."

The Fangtian Halberd in his hand softened, transforming into a steel rope, like a Spirit Snake it climbed and coiled around Sun Wukong, suddenly tightening and binding him.

Below, numerous Evil Spirits on Huaguo Mountain all panickedly shouted, "Great King!"

"Great King!"

"Great Sage Equalling Heaven?!"

Panic ensued.

Sun Wukong was also bewildered, how exactly did I lose? I, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, the Monkey King, captured by Brother Dragon’s child? How will I have the face to meet Brother Dragon in the future?

Above the clouds, Li Jing’s expression shifted, he immediately shouted loudly, "I am entrusted by His Majesty to lead the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to subdue the Evil Monkey, thank you, noble nephew, for your assistance. Since my noble nephew has already captured the Evil Monkey, please hand him over to me, so I may take him back to Heavenly Court to be dealt with by His Majesty."

Ao Bing looked up and bowed with folded hands, "Uncle, I’m sorry, but capturing Sun Wukong is under the command of Emperor Gouchen. I need to take Sun Wukong back to report. My apologies!" Carrying Sun Wukong, he turned into a beam of light and soared into the sky.

Above the clouds, Li Jing’s expression grew serious, this development exceeded expectations.

The Immortal of Colossal Spirit, nursing a broken arm, said, "Marshal, what should we do now?"

Li Jing responded, "You all return to Heavenly Court first, I’ll go gather some information."

The Immortal of Colossal Spirit respectfully complied, "Yes!" immediately leading the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals back to Heavenly Court.

Li Jing swiftly flew towards the West, entering the Primordial Continent, landing on a mist-enshrouded mountainside.

A young man holding a long staff came out, joyfully calling, "Father!"

Li Jing calmly stated, "Mu Zha, I did everything as you instructed, but Ao Bing intervened suddenly, and the situation didn’t develop as you guys expected. Sun Wukong was captured and taken to Gouchen Palace."

Mu Zha laughed and said, "Thanks, Father, all these were within Bodhisattva’s expectations."

Li Jing sighed and asked, "Are you and Jin Zha doing well in Buddhism?"

Mu Zha smiled and reassured, "Father, rest assured, the Bodhisattva is very kind to me, and Buddhism will prosper. In the future, elder brother and I can also bring you, mother, and third brother into Buddhism, so our family may enjoy the utmost bliss."

Li Jing gently shook his head, "No need, we are doing well in the Eastern."

...

Meanwhile, Ao Bing, escorting Sun Wukong back towards Heavenly Court, Sun Wukong tried various transformations, but none could escape the steel rope transformed from Fangtian Halberd.

Ao Bing, holding Sun Wukong, entered Bird’s Nest, walking down a path filled with birdsongs and floral scents, at this moment Sun Wukong had given up struggling, looking downhearted.

Ao Bing led Sun Wukong into the grand hall, as they stepped in, the environment instantly transformed as if shifting space and time.
