Rabbit Must Die-Chapter 677 - 273: The Great War_1

Hearing Qin Shou’s question, Sun Wukong shook his head and said, "Not sure... The thoughts of Saints are not the same as ours. So, what will you do later? If a real fight breaks out, I’ll just return to Huaguo Mountain. I won’t help either side and will just live my life quietly. What about you?"

Qin Shou looked at Sun Wukong with envy and said, "I also want to go back to the moon and live quietly, but having known so many people, I’ve shouldered too much karma... It’s damn hard to just leave now."

Sun Wukong nodded and said, "Understand... uh... remember to call me when you need help."

Qin Shou said, "If I call you for help, it might not be clear who we’d be fighting against. I have friends on both sides!"

Sun Wukong, unmoved, said, "I’m not close with any of them, it’s all the same who I fight. If things go south, my master will handle it, none of my business."

Qin Shou gazed at the Monkey showing an imposing attitude and not caring about kin, and gave a thumbs up, saying, "Good brother!"

"Aren’t you going to take care of those four friends of yours?" Sun Wukong suddenly asked.

Qin Shou said, "I want to take care of them, I want to take care of everything, but... sigh, could you just cooperate with me later?"

Sun Wukong was taken aback and asked, "How can I cooperate?"

Qin Shou, with an air of mystery, said, "Are you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

Sun Wukong had a confused look on his face...

Qin Shou explained his plan in detail, and after Sun Wukong heard it, his eyes immediately shone craftily as he clapped and exclaimed, "This sounds fun! But... are you sure you want to do this?"

Qin Shou spread his hands and said, "You’ve seen it, if this damn fight breaks out, who knows how many people might die. By messing it up, you might as well have saved a hundred thousand beings."

Sun Wukong dismissed it and said, "Bullocks about saving beings, only recognized after death, and I don’t want to die."

The two discussed the details further, and happily settled on a plan, but the question of when to implement it, or whether to implement it at all, remained to be discussed. After all, if they really went through with it, a lot of people could die... The Rabbit didn’t want to act unless it was absolutely necessary.

Just then, the sound of war drums rose, followed by a sky-tearing shout of battle!

In that moment, Li Jing roared, "The battle has begun, advance at full speed!"

The next moment, the army charged at full speed...

At the sound of this, Qin Shou was dumbstruck and cursed, "Damn it, I haven’t even gotten there and they’ve already started fighting?"

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Who do you think you are? The main character? They’ll fight regardless of you."

Qin Shou thought about it and realized that, indeed, that was the case: in a fight between gods and Buddhas filling the sky, who would wait for a Rabbit that didn’t even count as an Immortal?

Realizing that the fight had started over there, Qin Shou followed Sun Wukong and rushed out of the ranks, heading straight for the battlefield.

The battlefield was said to be just past a mountain blocking the view.

There was no helping it, the battlefield was too vast!

Standing on the mountain peak, Qin Shou looked out and saw two armies clashing together in a frenzy!

On one side were the Phoenix, Kylin, True Dragon, and a group of demon kings leading shrimp soldiers and crab generals; a massive army of demons and monsters surged upwards like locusts!

On the other side stood rows of gleaming silver-armored heavenly soldiers and generals, hoisting the great banners of the Heavenly Court. Not all among the ranks of the heavenly soldiers and generals were human, as various rare and exotic beasts were ridden into battle, and countless tamed War Beasts were unleashed, filling the entire sky and land as if blotting out the sun!

Even underground there were clashes, and with a quick glance, Qin Shou saw that the ground was like a bursting fountain, with people being blown out of the ground and others diving back into the fray...

Atop the mountain, Sun Wukong was also stunned by the horrific war, then his eyes turned blood red and his body boiled with blood as he exclaimed, "This is what I call true romance for men!"

Qin Shou gave him a sideways glance and said, "How come these ordinary soldiers are so fierce?"

Sun Wukong replied, "It’s simple, both sides may seem disorganized, but in reality, two great Formations are clashing with each other. You see, the point where the two armies meet appears to be individual heavenly soldiers and generals fighting against demons; however, it’s actually the two Formations concentrating everyone’s strength and the absorbed power of heaven and earth at that point...

It’s often said that when one’s power is overwhelming, numbers mean nothing. But my master once said, beneath a Saint, numbers can indeed crush an elephant..."

Qin Shou nodded slightly; he saw that an ordinary heavenly soldier had actually slain an Earthly Immortal with a single blow! The soldier wasn’t even considered an Immortal! That was a bit frightening...

Where the two armies collided was like a meat grinder, regardless of whether you were a demon or a heavenly soldier and general, regardless if you were a cultivator beneath an Immortal, or just a Human Immortal, the moment you reached that meat grinder, you’d be instantly pulverized into debris by countless Spells—with no chance to even struggle!

Even Earthly Immortals, upon charging in, could only scream twice more before meeting death...

Only Heavenly Immortals were able to hold their ground in the meat grinder; though they too focused more on defense, attacking had become extremely difficult.

It was only the Golden Immortals who were the main force in battle; Qin Shou finally understood why the Nether River Patriarch had elevated Hanyue to the level of a Golden Immortal. Without such power, she would undoubtedly perish in this great battle. But even so...

At this thought, Qin Shou also thought of Baldy, Mountain Spider, Golden Toad, and others...

Suddenly, his forehead was covered in cold sweat...

"Roar!" A thunderous roar shook the heavens as an immensely gigantic fish burst into the sky, smashing into the midst of the heavenly soldiers and generals, its tail sweep scattering them as if a popcorn machine had exploded—countless heavenly soldiers and generals were blown away!

"The Kun clan has finally made their move," said Sun Wukong.

Qin Shou also saw it; the giant Kun was like a signal, as groups of robust men from the demon Heavenly Court burst forth. Transforming into their true Kun forms, they charged into the ranks of the heavenly soldiers and generals, throwing their formation into chaos.

But the heavenly soldiers and generals reacted swiftly, immediately changing their Formation. The next moment, huge nets appeared in the sky and underground—it was the inescapable net of Heaven and Earth!

In an instant, all the Kun that had burst forth were trapped in the net; then with a twist of the Formation, the caught Kun screamed tragically as they were all ground into a pile of flesh!

At that moment, the Phoenixes also surged forward, bringing a sea of fire, yet they were still blocked by the heavenly soldiers and generals...

The Dragon Clan swarmed out but still could not tear through the great Formation of Heavenly Court...

Only the Kirin Clan remained still, keeping their forces in reserve, their intentions a mystery.

From a distance, Qin Shou spotted several familiar silhouettes within the demon Heavenly Court, mounted on a massive tortoise. Leading them was the Demon Marshal Jimeng, with Demon General Shang Sheep beside him, along with a young man soaring atop a Cloud Mist Dragon, surrounded by other dragons, Hongran Daoist, a dwarf-like short person, and another shrouded in mist.

Meanwhile, on the Heavenly Court side, a battle flag was raised, under which stood several individuals. Among them, one in particular was very familiar to Qin Shou and he called out subconsciously, "Zunwu?!"

The one leading was indeed Zunwu. Zunwu, just as when he had guarded the heavenly gate years ago, grasped the hilt of his Longsword, which rested on the ground, his eyes downcast as if he were a giant statue!
