Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 159 - 158: Cease War

Jiang Chen did not know whether those in the Heavenly Court were devoid of brains. However, it was certain the Heavenly Court faction was doing this intentionally, otherwise, they would not have had Sun Wukong take care of the horses.

"Oh, dear..."

Sun Wukong felt like he was going crazy, ignoring the threat of the black dragon, he raised his golden cudgel, and smashed it towards Huo Qubing’s direction.

Simultaneously, he released the remaining eight thousand heavenly horses.

It needed to be said, Sun Wukong was truly a genius. After merely two encounters against the army, he was already adept with their battle formations.

Upon their appearance, the heavenly horses did not scatter as mere clusters but were instead grouped in indiscernible formations, poised like the most elite of soldiers, ready to charge towards the Great Han military camp.

"Xiōu..."

In their neighing, the heavenly horses’ morale gradually converged into a single force. Above the sky, it transformed into an enormous heavenly horse with wings on its back and a jade horn on its head.

This was the form of an ancient heavenly horse, a true divine creature. Born from the providence of heaven and earth, it possessed an unfathomable power.

If one were to list the most exceptional war-horses of all time, the ancient heavenly horse would undoubtedly be among the top ten.

Now, the Heavenly Court’s horses were all descendants of the ancient heavenly horse. Their bloodlines had degraded considerably, and they couldn’t even birth basic intelligence.

If they did not live in the celestial realm, they wouldn’t deserve to be called heavenly horses.

...

...

"Enemy attack—"

At Sun Wukong’s strike, the Great Han’s military camp reacted immediately. Thousands of soldiers brandished their weapons and shouted in unison:

"Kill!"

In an instant, a vast wave of murderous aura mingled with a dense, black killing intent surged into the sky above the camp, shrouding the entire camp like dark clouds.

Boom!

The cudgel Sun Wukong wielded landed on the blood cloud formed by the murderous aura above the camp. The tremendous force caused a portion of it to cave in but failed to break its defense.

Roar~~

Provoked, the black dragon coiled overhead unfurled its colossal body, opened its wide maw, and lunged to bite at Sun Wukong.

Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong did not retaliate but instead dodged to one side. The black dragon opened its mouth and spat out a dark light.

Chi...

Just at this moment, the gigantic ancient heavenly horse arrived. The jade horn on its head emitted pure white light; sacred and clean, it purged the dark light spit out by the black dragon.

Simultaneously, the heavenly horse soared into the air, rearing its front hooves, aiming to stomp down on the black dragon. freewёbnoνel.com

A horse stomps a dragon!

In terms of bloodline, the ancient heavenly horse was not necessarily weaker than the five-clawed golden dragon.

However, although the heavenly horse appeared to be very dominant, it failed to stomp down.

The moment the heavenly horse appeared, a faux scepter suddenly erupted in brilliant light at the center of the military camp, radiating a dazzling divine light.

Instantly, an extremely dense emperor’s aura gushed out from it, supremely noble overwhelming, and swept towards the heavenly horse.

Faux Scepter!

An envoy holding this scepter was acting on the emperor’s behalf and symbolized the emperor and the country, hence, they could wield corresponding authority.

Without the suppression of the emperor’s aura during a military expedition, how could ghosts be subdued and immortals be awe-stricken?

Hence, Liu Che bestowed the scepter!

With this in hand, it was as if the emperor was present and the emperor’s aura could be utilized.

"Roar!"

With the emergence of the emperor’s aura, the aura of the ancient human sovereign on the golden cudgel seemed to be provoked. It suddenly surfaced, transforming into a colossal bear, and it roared towards the heavens.

"The ancient human sovereign is on par with heaven and earth; his descendants certainly cannot call themselves the emperor."

Amidst the illusion, a commanding voice echoed in everyone’s ears, containing the anger of the last ancient human sovereign, causing heaven and earth to tremble.

Suddenly, an endless aura of majesty spread. Heaven and Earth changed color, the wind and clouds rolled in turmoil, and the overwhelming emperor’s aura could not withstand this majesty, and shattered with a bang.

Crack!

In the middle of the great camp, a crack suddenly formed on the body of the scepter.

...

With the emperor’s aura obstruction removed, the heavenly horse continued to fight against the black dragon, and Sun Wukong, holding his golden cudgel, also periodically struck.

And below, seeing the emperor’s aura shattered, although Huo Qubing was puzzled, his superb military upbringing allowed him to suppress his doubts for the moment, proceeding to calmly orchestrate the battle.

Under his command, tens of thousands of soldiers moved continuously, forming into military formations. The murderous aura surged into the sky like a surging sea, clashing with Sun Wukong, the heavenly horse, and the black dragon.

Amid the void, Jiang Chen, frowning, asked a pair of people next to him: "Did you hear anything just now?"

Just now, when the colossal bear appeared, he seemed to have heard Emperor Yu’s voice. But looking at everyone’s expressions, it didn’t seem like they’d heard anything.

So, Jiang Chen was puzzled and planned to find someone to verify it.

The pair heard him, and replied with a baffled expression: "What voice? We only saw an aura of a human sovereign emerge, authoritative and powerful, holy and incomparable, directly shattering the emperor’s aura."

Speaking of this, the pair said with reverent expressions: "The demeanor of the ancient human sovereign is truly fascinating. Even after countless eras of his demise, the aura he left behind is still far from being able to be contended by today’s emperor."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen fell silent.

Is it only me who can hear it? Is it because of the bloodline or because I am special?

After pondering for a while, Jiang Chen temporarily suppressed his doubts, and turned his attention to the battlefield.

At this point, the battle had fallen into a stalemate. Huo Qubing could not deal with Sun Wukong, and Sun Wukong could not deal with Huo Qubing.

However, Huo Qubing had already asked for reinforcements from the rear army. It would not be long before Wei Qing’s army arrived, and Sun Wukong’s defeat would be inevitable.

But now, Jiang Chen had decided to intervene and end this battle.

He couldn’t let the two sides continue to fight.

Because in Jiang Chen’s perception, a master was coming from deep within the distant desert. It was likely a master from the Xiongnu side.

If Sun Wukong and Huo Qubing were allowed to continue fighting, and both sides ended up severely injured, the Xiongnu master could take advantage then, and that would be a joke.

Moreover, regardless of the outcome, a battle with Sun Wukong would not be a good thing for Huo Qubing.

The decisive battle with the Xiongnu had yet to erupt, and because of a fight with Sun Wukong, his side would be greatly weakened. How would they fight in the upcoming decisive battle?

So, it was time to end this battle.

With a thought, Jiang Chen appeared from the void, brandishing the Solar Staff, forcibly separating the two sides.

Boom!

In the center of the battlefield, Jiang Chen hoisted the Solar Staff high, emitting boundless divine light, morphing into a Fusang tree that swayed, or transforming into the Great Sun that roamed the heavens, or turning into a Golden Crow that roamed heaven and earth...

Endless illusions emerged, accompanied by an overwhelming aura of humanity, forcibly separated the two sides.
