176: Chapter 170: Destroying the Decree ‘The Grand Chapter of Ten Thousand Characters’ _3 176: Chapter 170: Destroying the Decree ‘The Grand Chapter of Ten Thousand Characters’ _3 Chi You directly swung his axe, not caring if his opponent was a Great Heavenly Venerate.
The great axe was incomparably fierce, carrying enormous mana as it clashed with the mana of the Gou Chen Great Emperor.
Their expressions became solemn as they looked at each other in surprise, clearly neither had expected the other’s strength to be so formidable.
At that moment, a wretched scream echoed.
Spiritual Official Wang was struck by Sun Wukong with his staff and fell to the ground with a cry.
He let out a miserable cry and fell directly to the ground.
Wukong stepped on him and rummaged through his body.
A decree emerged, bearing the scent of the Jade Emperor.
Wukong said indifferently.
The next instant, he exerted force in his hand and directly crushed the Jade Emperor’s decree.
Spiritual Official Wang spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his eyes filled with resentment as he looked at Wukong.
He had only brought two decrees with him and had not expected both to be destroyed by Wukong.
With this, his chances to cause trouble were now impossible.
Even if Wukong didn’t kill him, the punishment from the Jade Emperor upon his return would definitely not be light, and he might even be killed.
With this in mind, Spiritual Official Wang’s gaze towards Wukong was filled with hatred,
Wukong smirked and coldly sneered, “You think I wouldn’t dare?”
“Great Saint, don’t be impulsive.
Spiritual Official Wang was just confused for a moment.
He is a protector god of the Daoist Sect; you mustn’t kill him, Great Saint.
To do so would offend all the Daoists under heaven,”
Master Ge stepped forward, trying to stop Wukong.
He wasn’t actually defending Spiritual Official Wang, but genuinely considering the situation.
Gou Chen Great Emperor repelled Chi You and stopped taking action, silently watching the scene unfold.
As Master Ge spoke those words, he knew that Spiritual Official Wang was as good as dead.
He never responded well to soft tactics, but if you told him not to do something, that’s exactly what he’d do.
Thinking of this, Gou Chen’s lips curled up in a slight smile.
If Wukong actually killed Spiritual Official Wang, there would be an interesting show to watch.
Indeed, after hearing Master Ge’s words, Wukong coldly laughed, “There’s no one Old Sun cannot kill.”
Having said that, he brought his staff down hard, striking Spiritual Official Wang directly in the head.
Spiritual Official Wang’s head immediately exploded, and his Primordial Spirit was annihilated by the blow.
Ge Xuan’s legs gave way, and he fell back to his seat, realizing he had caused a catastrophe.
Spiritual Official Wang was after all a Dharma Protector God within the Daoist Sect and held significant influence.
By doing this, Wukong was essentially putting all the Daoists in the world against him.
“Ha, pretending to pass an imperial decree, not letting the Jade Emperor rest in peace after his death, who should I kill if not you?
If there are remnants of Wang within the Daoists, Old Sun wouldn’t mind ridding the Three Realms of such a scourge,”
Wukong stated coldly.
Who couldn’t play the tiger’s skin game?
Now, acting under the pretext of upholding the Jade Emperor’s name, if any Immortal from the Daoist Sect challenged him, they would be no different from the traitorous Wang.
No one would dare to take such a charge upon themselves.
Lady Houtu’s face was livid, and she spoke icily, “Wukong, you have gone too far.
Wang was deeply trusted by His Majesty, one of the Jade Emperor’s most intimate confidants.
I can attest that the decree on his body was indeed His Majesty’s last will.”
Wukong’s face showed surprise, and he laughed, “Your Ladyship, you should have said so earlier.
The man has already been killed by me, and that last will of the Jade Emperor was also crushed by Old Sun.
Are you mentioning this now on purpose, wanting to see Old Sun make a mistake?”
Lady Houtu clenched her fists, wanting to teach Wukong a lesson, to let him know why the flower is so red.
Despite taking advantage, he was still trying to act cute in front of her.
Did he really think that she, no, the Ladyship had no temper?
Lady Houtu snorted and said in a measured tone, “Whether the Jade Emperor’s last will is real or fake, you and I are well aware.
Why act so hypocritically?
As the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, are you really so insincere?”
Wukong’s smile stiffened on his face.
He sighed, “Your Ladyship is right in her reprimand.
I shall now tell everyone the truth.”
Wukong’s gaze fell upon the assembled Immortals and Buddhas, making them tense up.
Were those two last wills real or not?
Lady Houtu was also curious, as the monkey seemed surprisingly willing to concede and reveal the truth.
Master Ge was anxious, being a close minister to the Jade Emperor, he could sense that both decrees were genuine and not at all false.
If Wukong admitted this, he would be in trouble.
Even just for destroying the Jade Emperor’s last will, that would be a heinous crime.
Wukong spoke in a grave tone, “Those two ‘last wills’ are definitely not the Jade Emperor’s.
I swear, if those two decrees are indeed the Jade Emperor’s last wills, may I die a terrible death.”
The Great Dao trembled, responding to Wukong’s oath.
All the Immortals and Buddhas present believed Wukong’s words.
He had sworn an oath, so the decrees were obviously fake.
Lady Houtu nearly spit out a mouthful of old blood; she knew very well that Wukong was playing word games.
He spoke of ‘last wills,’ not ‘decrees.’
With the Jade Emperor not dead, those two decrees were naturally not last wills.
Even if Wukong took an oath, it would not come to pass.
Lady Houtu snorted coldly and left with a flick of her sleeve.
Gou Chen Great Emperor squinted slightly, his eyes fixed on Chi You as he said, “If you dare to trespass against us again, I will spare no leniency in your execution.”
Chi You motioned at his own giant axe and coldly laughed, “Say that one more time, and I will storm your Gou Chen Heavenly Palace right now.
I may not be able to kill you, but exterminating some of your subordinates is definitely within my power.”
