Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 322 - 311 Calculation
Thus, the three people followed Gu Lang, but after walking only a few steps, the eight Taoists suddenly placed their palms together two by two, and in a flash, they had surrounded the three, forming a perfect circle. At the same time, a deep blue barrier appeared above them, instantly trapping the three.
However, Gu Lang stopped in his tracks and turned around. With a light leap, he jumped off the wooden sword. He beckoned with his finger, and after the sword circled around him, it landed in Gu Lang’s hand. But before Gu Lang could utter some proud remark, he suddenly saw the smiles unfolding on the faces of the three people trapped inside the barrier. Their smiles sent a shiver down Gu Lang’s spine.
"I didn’t expect you to be so clever, I thought you’d just take us back like this! Nine people, tsk tsk, it seems you plan to use numbers to bully the few," said another person among the three, a Supreme Peak powerhouse cloaked in swirling Sword Qi.
Gu Lang’s face turned cold as he said with a deep voice, "Three ignorant brats, you think such poor tricks can deceive Gu Lang? Since you dared to come to the Myriad Spirits Realm, you should be prepared to fall. Today, we are indeed going to bully with numbers!" As Gu Lang spoke, a dry leaf-colored glow suddenly shone from the wooden sword in his hand.
"Deceive? You think too highly of yourself. Using numbers to bully, huh? That’s quite a coincidence, I, old Sun, also like using numbers to bully the few." As the words ended, the person dug into his ear and then a golden stick suddenly appeared in his hand. With a single swipe, a spatial rift over a man’s height ripped open before him.
Then, before Gu Lang’s astonished eyes, a person walked out from that spatial rift. Meanwhile, the person holding the golden stick pressed his right hand against the barrier in front, and the barrier that made Gu Lang so confident, arranged by eight Supreme Peak experts, shattered with a thunderous crash. The eight individuals’ faces changed dramatically as they hurriedly retreated through the air.
At this moment, Gu Lang noticed that the number of people before him had increased from three to ten. A bad premonition surged in his heart; it was a trap! "Quick, stop that person. Destroy that spatial rift!" Gu Lang bellowed while the dry yellow light on his wooden sword condensed to the extreme. With a push of his hand, the ball of light shot towards the spatial rift like a bolt of lightning.
However, that light was only halfway through its journey when it was blocked by a crescent-shaped black Blade Intention, which after slicing through the dry yellow light with some depletion, continued slashing towards Gu Lang. But Gu Lang paid no attention to the Blade Intention; he threw his wooden sword upwards. The single sword instantly multiplied into two, two into four, and in the blink of an eye, turned into thirty-two identical wooden swords, forming a Sword Array with the hands of Gu Lang. Encased in a dry yellow glow, it thundered towards the group of people.
By now, the pitch-black Blade Intention had reached Gu Lang, and just when it was about to strike him, it suddenly vanished into thin air. In that split second, more than twenty people had come out from the spatial rift. These people were none other than those from the Netherworld World.
The three that Gu Lang encountered were Sun Wukong, Flame God, and the Rogue Heart Sword Hero. As for the vanishing twenty-seven people, they were of course hidden inside the World Within the Artifact of Sun Wukong’s Golden Hoop. In fact, their plan was simple, since they had discovered that it was impossible to approach the Myriad Spirits Palace without alerting the people of the Myriad Spirits Realm, they decided not to wrack their brains to avoid the Arrays. Instead, they would use the Arrays to their advantage and turn the tables on their foes.
Hence, aside from the three with Sun Wukong, the rest hid inside the World Within the Artifact of the Golden Hoop. The reason for leaving three people outside was to make the people of the Myriad Spirits Realm believe that the incoming enemies were neither too strong nor too weak. If it had been only Sun Wukong alone, the Myriad Spirits Realm, upon learning of only one person, would probably have sent at most two or three people to investigate or capture. However, a larger number would definitely lead the Myriad Spirits Realm to send most of their forces to intercept, possibly even the entire force.
In doing so, there would be no element of surprise, and the attack would lose its purpose. The plan proved to be a success. Upon discovering only three people entering the alert zone, Xu Miao had sent two squads, totaling ten people, from the Patrolling Celestial World due to the importance of the situation. If there really were only three, ten people would certainly suffice.
Being selected for the Patrolling Celestial World trial was proof enough of their strength, and the power of the individuals sent by almost all forces was roughly equal. Aside from the few Domain Lord Level powerhouses, the rest were all at the Supreme Peak. Thus, in a ten versus three situation, victory was certain. Moreover, with powerhouses like Gu Lang and Huan Meng who were also renowned among the Supreme Peak, capturing merely three people should have been effortless.

What nobody expected was that not just three individuals had arrived, but all thirty. Right as Gu Lang’s Wooden Sword Formation, carrying a desolate aura of barren desiccation, was about to collide with everyone, all thirty people had already emerged from the World Within the Artifact of the Jingu Bang. And as soon as each person emerged, they immediately brandished their own weapons to confront the Sword Array in midair.
Among all of them, the Rogue Heart Sword Hero and the Flame God were the quickest, as they had originally been on the outside, hence they were naturally faster than the others. With a flash of black light on the Rogue Heart Sword Hero, his black Tang Blade Demon Slayer was already unsheathed, carrying an incredibly sharp Blade Intention as it transformed into a dragon and fiercely collided with the core of the Wooden Sword Formation.
The Flame God was hot on his heels, his Exploding Phoenix radiating a bright red glow, the sweltering aura of which seemed to make the surrounding air rise in temperature. The Exploding Phoenix blazed with a vivid flame, eventually forming a flame phoenix with a wingspan of ten meters. The Flame God glanced at the Rogue Heart Sword Hero and shouted, "Sword Hero, get out of the way, it’s going to explode!" With the sound, the Exploding Phoenix had already left his hand.
The flame phoenix formed on the blade now seemed to come alive, following the movement of the Rogue Heart Sword Hero with a flap of its wings and crashing into the Wooden Sword Formation. At this moment, the Rogue Heart Sword Hero had already collided fiercely with the Sword Array; black and yellow radiance shone together. However, feeling the scorching attack behind him, the Rogue Heart Sword Hero cursed under his breath and then tilted his blade, using the force to drop straight down.
His descent wasn’t random, for directly below the Rogue Heart Sword Hero was Gu Lang, who controlled the Wooden Sword Formation. The Sword Hero adjusted his body in midair, flipping upside down with the black Tang Blade pointing straight down. Meanwhile, the people from the Netherworld World were also already battling fervently with the others from the Myriad Spirits Realm.
The people of the Netherworld World all knew that although their plan had succeeded this time, creating the situation of thirty against nine, they were too close to the Myriad Spirits Palace, and even though they had an absolute numerical advantage, it was impossible to annihilate all these people quickly.
Hence, the people from the Netherworld World did not adopt a team battle strategy or fight one-on-one; instead, they tasked two individuals to pin one person down, with the rest focusing their strength on entirely obliterating their opponents. So, at the moment, apart from the Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Gu Lang, of the remaining eight from the Myriad Spirits Realm, five were engaged by two adversaries from the Netherworld World, trying their best to inflict damage while ensuring their own safety.
The other three from the Myriad Spirits Realm, however, received special attention, each facing the assault of six formidable warriors from the Netherworld World. Almost the moment the two sides clashed, the three from the Myriad Spirits Realm who received special attention were heavily injured. Notably, one of them faced the Netherworld Five Battle Generals and Ming Wanjie. The Five Battle Generals had long been in sync with one another, and with Ming Wanjie, who had fought alongside them, their combined strength left the individual from the Myriad Spirits Realm constantly on the defensive, accumulating injuries rapidly.
The other two faced the attacks from Xi Zhao, Zijing, and four other Supreme Peak powerhouses. Although the rate of injury for this individual wasn’t as quick as the one ravaged by the Five Battle Generals, it was still considerable; now they were also spitting blood and barely hanging on. But the last one was in the worst shape, for he faced Sun Wukong.
At the first exchange, Sun Wukong merely placed a palm on his chest, and he was horrified to discover he had lost control over his body. In that instant, he suffered a ferocious attack, resulting in both arms being broken. Although he regained control of his body afterward, the loss of his arms meant his death was certain.
After using the Seal Heavenly Stamp to immobilize that person, Sun Wukong turned his gaze toward Gu Lang.
Compared to dealing with these people, Sun Wukong was far more interested in Gu Lang!
