Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 160 - 159: The Extremely Cowardly Sun Wukong

The Fusang tree swayed, bestowing an endless breath of Human Path, which repelled the black dragon. The Golden Crow cried out, its innate sun energy roaring, frightening away the heavenly horse.

Simultaneously, a flood of Human Dao emerged from the void, vast and boundless, submerging everything in the vicinity.

In an instant, the blood qi dissipated, and the momentum of the heavenly horse was broken. The Great Han soldiers and the celestial horses all grunted and stepped back.

The battle was temporarily ceased!

From beginning to end, Jiang Chen used only one move, raising high the Sun God’s staff, releasing its power, thus ending the battle.

This wasn’t because Jiang Chen was strong, but because the Sun God staff was. It was worthy of being a treasure that could transform into a high-grade innate spiritual treasure, its strike terrifying.

At this moment, holding the Sun God staff, feeling that majestic power, Jiang Chen felt as if he could face a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

That likely wasn’t a delusion.

After all, countless predecessors have proven during the Investiture of the Gods in Ancient Times that if one’s magic treasure was strong enough, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal could be suppressed by an Immortal Person.

On this point, Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi had much to say. Being beaten by their own disciples with their magic treasures was not an honorable thing.

"It’s you!"

Recognizing the staff before even seeing Jiang Chen’s face, Sun Wukong knew who he was.

Almost reflexively, Sun Wukong took several steps back.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Chen couldn’t help raising an eyebrow, an air of satisfaction on his face.

It seemed that the impression he had left on Sun Wukong was profound. Otherwise, the monkey wouldn’t have reacted like this. It had almost become an instinct.

At this point, Sun Wukong also realized what he had just done. His face was consumed by a blend of shame and anger, wishing he could slap himself.

Then, he took two steps forward, bared his teeth towards Jiang Chen, posing fiercely, and said, "It’s you again, I didn’t do anything this time. You can’t attack me."

Originally, Sun Wukong wanted to make a few threats, yet his tone unconsciously softened as he spoke, which annoyed him greatly.

Damn!

When did I, Sun Wukong, become such a coward!

Ahhhhhh...

It’s so infuriating!

Ridiculously, Sun Wukong was infuriated by his own behavior. He glared at Jiang Chen, gasping for breath.

Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Jiang Chen quietly sidestepped a few steps to avoid Sun Wukong’s sight.

At this moment, although Sun Wukong was angry, there was clearly someone who was angrier, more furious, and more frustrated.

It was Yun Luo!

The moment the Sun God staff appeared, he figured out who Jiang Chen was. He wasn’t some expert from the Jiang family, but the same boy who had proved troublesome in the Ancestral Hall.

He, Yun Luo, had been deceived by this little kid. Just recalling how respectfully he had called him "senior," Yun Luo found a wave of rage rushing to his head, wishing he could spew out thirty jin of blood.

Dongzhuang, on the other hand, was indifferent, thinking that the younger generation was indeed to be feared. They deceived people without hesitation.

But Yun Luo, who always held himself in high esteem, how could he tolerate such humiliation? He raised his right arm, pointed at Jiang Chen while trembling, and was about to scold, "You insolent child, how dare you deceive me!"

However, just as he opened his mouth, Jiang Chen turned around as if he sensed something, gave him a strange smile, and waved the Sun God staff in his hand.

In an instant, Yun Luo felt a boundless coldness envelop him, making him feel like he had fallen into an ice cave. His rage was immediately extinguished.

I’ll die!

If he dared to scream, he would die.

Facing Jiang Chen, who was holding the Sun God’s staff, Yun Luo couldn’t take even a single attack.

Only at this moment did Yun Luo realize that the child he once bullied was now a practitioner of ancient martial arts and a cultivator in the Heavenly Human Realm.

His status was now on par with the Yun Clan leader.

The four words "Ancient Martial Arts" carried great weight in the ancestral land. It was the true lineage of the Human Race and the cornerstone of its rise.

"Alas!" Knowing the gap between them, Yun Luo sighed and quietly retreated to one side, disappearing from everyone’s sight.

He didn’t dare to take revenge because he knew that if he attacked Jiang Chen, the higher-ups of the Human Race would undoubtedly stand by him.

In other words, if he was killed by Jiang Chen, his death would be in vain, and no one would demand justice for him.

"Hmm?" Seeing Yun Luo’s reaction, Dongzhuang from the side glanced at him with bewilderment. Since he didn’t know about the past incident, he couldn’t understand why Yun Luo was reacting this way.

After thinking for a while, he could only assume that Yun Luo’s pride was hurt, hence his temporary withdrawal.

...

As for Jiang Chen, what had happened could only be regarded as a minor episode, not worth his concern. He and Yun Luo were from two different worlds. Purposefully targeting Yun Luo would only demean himself.

Making him realize the gap between them was enough to shame him.

...

Observing Jiang Chen seemingly familiar with Sun Wukong, Huo Qubing, not knowing Jiang Chen’s background and not daring to approach him rashly, only watched Jiang Chen quietly.

"Monkey, you have the nerve to say you didn’t do anything. If you didn’t do anything, why would those heavenly horses appear here?" Looking at Sun Wukong, Jiang Chen said with amusement.

"You’ve violated heavenly laws, do you know that?"

Hearing this, Sun Wukong, as if he were greatly wronged, protested, "How can you slander my innocence? I obeyed Jade Emperor’s command to lead the heavenly horses down to the world. Otherwise, why would I be here?"

"Besides, isn’t releasing the horses just releasing them? How could this be considered a violation of heavenly laws?"

He would never admit that he was just bored in Heaven and had come to the human realm for fun, under the pretense of releasing horses.

If Jiang Chen didn’t know Sun Wukong’s character, he might have been fooled by his seemingly wronged expression.

During West Journey, Sun Wukong was the best at deceiving people. It could be said that it was his talent. Countless people fell into his trap.

Pointing at Sun Wukong, Jiang Chen laughed and said, "You monkey, you’re still playing tough. As for whether this matter is true or false, we’ll know once we go to Heaven and ask."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen reached out to grab Sun Wukong, intending to take him to Heaven to confront about the matter.

Sun Wukong was extremely guilty and couldn’t afford to be exposed by going with Jiang Chen to Heaven.

Thus, seeing Jiang Chen reach out, Sun Wukong quickly dodged to the side, backing away and saying, "Hey, why do you like to meddle so much?"

"Even if I didn’t violate the heavenly laws, and even if I did, it’s the heavenly soldiers’ job to arrest me, what’s it got to do with you?"
