Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 518 - 500: To Be Reborn After Death
Xi Zhao's full-power blast was more than double the strength of his previous ninety percent effort. A qualitative change occurred between the two, highlighting the immense disparity between ninety percent and full power. As Xi Zhao released this full-powered strike, the Flame God suddenly raised his head toward the sky and wailed in despair, for in his arms, Sun Wukong had died—just like that. Pierced by the red light of the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon, Sun Wukong did not even have a chance to utter any last words before he passed away.
The Flame God couldn't believe it, nor did he dare to. Sun Wukong had actually died just like that. In the Flame God's heart, Sun Wukong was someone who could create miracles at every turn; how could he die? How could he die now? The Flame God's cries of grief were heard by everyone present, even Xi Zhao, who couldn't help but take an extra look at the Flame God, who knelt in mid-air, his hands cradling Sun Wukong's lifeless body.
With a silent sigh, Xi Zhao truly did not wish to kill Sun Wukong, but he increasingly realized that Sun Wukong's existence would inevitably become the biggest obstacle to his and Ling Weiyang's ultimate plan. Therefore, to prevent his plan from failing, he needed to thoroughly eliminate Sun Wukong here, ensuring there would be no future troubles. Otherwise, the nine attacks of the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon, at ninety percent power, could have easily bypassed Sun Wukong, allowing the red light intended for Sun Wukong to strike the Flame God or Ye Zi. If that blast had struck Ye Zi, Dao Zhun would have definitely intervened to save him, and the remaining eight wouldn't have been saved.
One could say that Sun Wukong's existence had inadvertently saved those eight lives. However, in Xi Zhao's eyes, Sun Wukong was far more important than the eight of them combined. Therefore, after Sun Wukong's death, Xi Zhao felt a complex mix of loss and relief in his heart. But who was Xi Zhao? He was the Demon Monarch, adept at completely burying such emotional turbulence within himself. Hence, after a lingering glance, he proceeded to launch the full-powered blast from the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon.
As the attack was just released, Xi Zhao's face suddenly twisted into an expression of terror, as if he had sensed something unimaginable, then he abruptly clasped his chest with both hands while blood began to pour from his mouth. His expression was etched with agony and disbelief, and with that look on his face, Xi Zhao slowly collapsed to the side. Following Xi Zhao's fall was the Flame God.

Almost identical to Xi Zhao, the Flame God was even more direct; he barely managed to cover his chest with one hand, the other holding Sun Wukong tightly, then the two of them plummeted directly toward the ground. They crashed into the ground, creating a sizable crater, and then, the Flame God also died. After collapsing, Xi Zhao only struggled for a slightly longer time than the Flame God before he too perished. Their deaths were bizarrely similar, as if an invisible person had stabbed both of them in the back of their hearts at the same time, yet in reality, there was no one behind them.
Watching the Flame God perish so mysteriously and fall, Rogue Heart Sword Hero and the others were completely shocked, but they had no time to attend to the Flame God any longer because the full-powered attack from the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon had already reached them. Compared to the ninety percent power strike, this full-powered attack was about half the speed, but the beam was three to four times thicker, and it had changed from red to a white-hot color.
Moreover, Rogue Heart Sword Hero noticed that when the white-hot beam cut through space, the surrounding fifty-meter radius of space began to collapse and dissolve. When this adult-arm-thick, white-hot beam reached less than a hundred meters from the group, Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Wan Jun exchanged a look before blinking in front of everyone to block the incoming assault. Everyone was well aware that this attack was not easily defensible. Yet, like the previous attacks, this one was also locked firmly onto Dao Zhun, making evasion impossible.
Besides, Dao Zhun had used his own life to save the eight of them before; now, it was their turn to save Dao Zhun. Although doing so was not the wisest course of action. At this moment, the smartest approach would be for all eight to immediately dodge far away from this attack. Since the assault was aimed only at Dao Zhun, by abandoning him and dodging on their own, they would surely be safe. However, such actions were beyond them.
Therefore, when the attack came, Rogue Heart Sword Hero, Wan Jun, Po Jun, Dragon Emperor, Wu Ming, Hei Kui, Yu Fan Taoist Monk, and Hidden Mountain collectively made a stunningly uniform decision to shield Dao Zhun and Ye Zi, the only difference being who stood in front. Of course, it wasn't that no one wanted to be at the forefront; rather, everyone was fighting to be the first to block it, knowing that if the person in front could withstand the attack, the rest would not die. However, in the end, it was Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Wan Jun who seized the initiative.
Because the Dragon Emperor, Hidden Mountain, Hei Kui, and Yu Fan Taoist Monk still maintained their massive true forms, when they took their positions, the attack had already arrived. The Rogue Heart Sword Hero's entire body shone with bright white light, while Wan Jun's body emanated a brilliant black light. The two silhouettes—with their differing colored glows—intertwined in an instant and then transformed into a black and white sword over ten meters long. This sword, with its black and white colors flowing, gave off a very strange aura, with saintly light intermingled with decaying dark forces. Two powers that should have been oppositional were, in this moment, perfectly merged together.
As soon as this sword materialized, it fiercely and directly pierced the red and white glow head-on. The clash of the two didn't release any earth-shaking momentum, but rather, it was surprisingly quiet. However, the Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Wan Jun's combined black and white sword actually pushed back the red and white glow by more than ten meters. But before the others could get excited, the red and white glow suddenly accelerated as if it had consumed some powerful tonic, and the white light pierced right through the center of the black and white sword.
Immediately after, the light of the black and white sword dimmed, and when it lost all of its luminance, it fell straight down. Po Jun was right behind the Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Wan Jun, having been prepared all along. As the white light pierced the black and white twin sword, Po Jun launched his strongest attack. With Gan Jiang and Mo Ye crossed in front of his chest, just as the red and white glow was about to reach him, both swords in his hands slashed out simultaneously.
But Po Jun's twin swords had only managed to slash halfway before they shattered in response. However, in the nick of time, Po Jun used all of his strength to shift his body sideways by a foot, narrowly avoiding being pierced through the heart. This allowed the white light to pass through his chest instead. Po Jun was seriously wounded, and behind him was the Dragon Emperor.
The Dragon Emperor's defense was equally strong, but the red and white glow was even more fierce, having consecutively broken through the defenses of me, Rogue Heart Sword Hero, Wan Jun, and Po Jun, and then continuing to shatter the defenses of the Dragon Emperor, Hei Kui, Wu Ming, Yu Fan Taoist Monk, and Hidden Mountain. Eight individuals failed to block this strike, and the consequence of not stopping it was that Ye Zi, who had no defensive ability left, had to face the attack head-on. Behind Ye Zi was Dao Zhun, who was only hanging on by a breath. If Ye Zi died and the supply of life force from Ye Zi ceased, Dao Zhun would immediately perish right there.
However, when even Hidden Mountain had fallen due to his grave injuries, there was nobody left in front of Ye Zi. But in the end, this strike from the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon did not land on Ye Zi because, in the final moment, Wu Zhiqi, the Nine Decisions Vajra Ape holding the World Suppressing Stele, appeared in front of Ye Zi, and with the World Suppressing Stele held horizontally in front of his chest with his left hand, he finally blocked this strike for Ye Zi and Dao Zhun.
But when Ye Zi saw Wu Zhiqi before him, his heart was deeply shaken. Wu Zhiqi, the Nine Decisions Vajra Ape, had been entangled by Ling Weiyang's Doppelganger and couldn't break free, but now he had appeared in front of Ye Zi to block this blow for him. Such an act was sure to come at a price, and the price was Wu Zhiqi's entire right arm, cleanly severed.
Moreover, Wu Zhiqi used the World Suppressing Stele as a shield to block this blow, which came at a heavy price. He had already lost one arm, and now, holding the World Suppressing Stele with only one hand, the immense impact of the attack seemed to have completely crushed Wu Zhiqi's chest. Nevertheless, Wu Zhiqi didn't step back.
Yet, a sudden realization made Ye Zi incredulously cover his mouth. The Wu Zhiqi before him was Sun Wukong's summoned creature. If Sun Wukong were to die, he would surely disappear. (To be continued.
