Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 224 Poisonous Bees

(I've been quite busy these past two days and have updated less, but from this Friday to next Tuesday, I will make it up with four updates each day. Also, resuming three updates per day from tomorrow!)

"Bastard, I won't let you off!"

At this moment, the bear wolf's appearance was extremely wretched, his chest armor had completely shattered, riddled with spear marks, blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and his body was covered in wounds. Qin Feng's earlier Wave Splitting Stab had indeed caused significant damage to him, but it also completely unleashed his ferocity.

With a roar, a strange red glow clung around the bear wolf's body, and his figure swelled several times in size as he pounced towards Qin Feng, his greatsword emitting an inwardly contained Sword Energy that seemed harmless but was swung down harshly upon Qin Feng.

"Scared of you? Not likely!"

Having gained the upper hand with one strike, Qin Feng's confidence soared like never before. Facing the bear wolf's seemingly ordinary attack, he didn't dodge but raised his three-and-a-third-meter-long spear to block, only to hear a sharp shout in his ear: "Idiot! Dodge it quickly!"

Qin Feng was startled and instinctively obeyed the shout, forcefully halting his movement, then swiftly retreated. The moment he stepped back, an invisible Blade Force appeared where he had just stood on the water's surface, creating a several-dozen-meters-long breach that stretched directly to the river's deep bottom. The break, enveloped by the Blade Force, did not recover for a long time.

"Hiss~!"

Qin Feng couldn't help but inhale a breath of cold air. Had he not heeded that sudden shout to dodge, he probably would now be split in two like the water surface, wouldn't he? The bear wolf's move was too powerful!

"That's right, the voice just now was… Great Saint?!"

All of a sudden, Qin Feng recalled something, his eyes widening with a look of wild joy— that shout was unmistakably Sun Wukong's voice!

Sun Wukong was nearby, watching his contest!

"Great Saint, is that you? Where are you?"

Qin Feng whispered to himself, believing Sun Wukong could hear him.

"It's me, old Sun! I'm right here in the gap of your armor, shh, don't make a noise!"

Sun Wukong chuckled, "You're doing well, old Sun has seen everything. Keep up the good work and let these bastards see that old Sun's subordinates are not trash but stronger talents than all of them!"

"Great Saint, do you want me to continue to fight on your behalf?"

"Of course, why not?"

Sun Wukong's voice had a playful tone, "This is a rare opportunity for you to test the results of your hard training over the past two years, to show those guys that you, Qin Feng, are not just a minor commander but a strong contender who shall eventually surpass them all!"

"Can I, can I really do that?"

Qin Feng was utterly astonished; he had never thought he could be the kind of person Sun Wukong spoke of.

"Of course! You are a subordinate of old Sun, how could someone taught by me be worse than these scum?"

Sun Wukong said proudly, "Right now, it's just that your cultivation is not as high as theirs. Cultivation before becoming a Daluo Golden Immortal does not fully equate to actual combat power, even if he is a Taiyi Golden Immortal, he may not necessarily be able to defeat you!"

"Great Saint, are you saying I can beat him?"

"Not just him! Except for Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng, you have the ability to defeat anyone here! Don't worry, old Sun will teach you how to defeat them!"

As Sun Wukong spoke, he had already used Divine Sense to transmit a set of spear techniques into Qin Feng's mind, designed specifically for his characteristics to help him better understand the three ultimate moves of the Water Controlling True Scripture, named the Split Cloud Spear Technique.

"Thank you, Great Saint!"

Qin Feng was overjoyed. He knew full well how precious such a mental transmission of a spear technique was and that only a powerful figure like Sun Wukong could accomplish such a feat. The Split Cloud Spear Technique was more formidable than any martial skill Qin Feng had seen before.

Now that he had received Sun Wukong's Divine Sense transmission, he could utilize it with ease, invisibly raising his combat power by a significant margin.

"Alright, now with your current ability, he's a piece of cake! Go on, show what you've got and let this guy see what you're capable of!"

With Sun Wukong's encouraging voice, Qin Feng gripped his three-and-a-third-meter-long spear tighter and charged at the bear wolf.

"Kid, you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin, huh? Watch this old man smash you to pieces!"

Surprised that Qin Feng dodged his killer slice, the bear wolf was caught off guard but soon sneered again, wielding his long-handled greatsword to slash at Qin Feng. He was no longer underestimating this youngster and was going all out, convinced that no tricks the kid pulled would avail him against the bear wolf's full strength!

"Clang clang clang!"

The clanging of metal accompanied by the scattering of Qi Force signified a fierce battle underway. The entire Martial Arts Field had been fortified with an array barrier, blocking any residual effects of the duel from escaping. If not for the barrier, a Taiyi Golden Immortal-level battle could have inflicted significant damage to the surrounding area.

"Strange, how did Qin Feng suddenly become so powerful?"

From atop the marshal's platform, Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng watched the intense skirmish between Qin Feng and the wolf bear, frowning involuntarily. According to his original assessment, if the wolf bear tapped into his true strength and fought with all his might, he should have been able to defeat Qin Feng quickly.

But the current situation was a stalemate between Qin Feng and the wolf bear, with neither gaining the upper hand.

Qin Feng's spear technique had suddenly become fierce, displaying fluidity even in broad and powerful movements, making it exceptionally difficult for the wolf bear to cope. This sudden increase in strength was indeed strange, leading Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng to suspect someone was secretly aiding Qin Feng.

Despite having scanned the entire Martial Arts Field several times with his Divine Sense, he detected no abnormalities.

"Are you sure that demon monkey Sun Wukong is still passed out in his quarters?"

For some reason, an unease suddenly blossomed in Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng's heart, and he turned to his deputies, Chen Xueyou and Zhang Wenshan, to ask.

"Reporting back to the marshal, we just received word that Sun Wukong is indeed still passed out in his quarters. His subordinates attempted to enter and awaken him, but they were stopped by our men," replied Deputy Zhang Wenshan.

Zhu Tianpeng nodded, his unease abating slightly. Yet as he turned his gaze back to the battlefield, his brow furrowed again. Qin Feng's performance was too stunning, far exceeding his expectations. If this man were to win his way through, and if he actually secured a slot for Sun Wukong, wouldn't all his efforts have been in vain?

While Thousand Days Drunk was reputed to leave any Immortal and God below the Quasi-Saint level inebriated for a thousand days, its effects could vary from person to person. What if that demon monkey woke up early?

One can never be too careful!

"Listen up, if Qin Feng does manage to defeat the wolf bear, the others are unlikely to be his match. He will surely face us for the three representative spots. When that time comes, you must give it your all for me and absolutely cannot let him succeed!"

"Yes, marshal!"

"Just watch, marshal. It would be best for that kid to pray he doesn't face me; otherwise, I'll make sure he regrets ever coming into this world!"

Deputies Chen Xueyou and Zhang Wenshan exchanged a glance and chuckled coldly. They saluted Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng with cupped fists.

"Split Cloud Spear Technique!"

"Water Cleaving Blade Technique!"

In the midst of the Martial Arts Field, the battle between Qin Feng and the wolf bear grew increasingly fierce. Qin Feng's Split Cloud Spear Technique was almost evenly matched with the wolf bear's Water Cleaving Blade Technique. But as Qin Feng became more adept, confidence surged within him along with his burgeoning strength.

Despite the fight still looking even, the wolf bear could distinctly feel the pressure mounting. If it continued like this, he feared he would lose to Qin Feng.

"Damn it! How can I lose to this brat? No, absolutely not!"

A sinister look crossed the wolf bear's face, and with a glint of malice in his eyes, he gritted his teeth. After forcing Qin Feng back with a slash, he pulled out a small bottle from his bosom, uncorked it, and flung it towards Qin Feng, "You forced my hand, you little pest!"

Weng weng~!

Among the uncanny buzzing, swarms of venomous wasps flew out of the bottle, darkening the sky. The stench of foulness spread the moment they appeared.

These were Corpse Rot Wasps, extremely vicious insects raised on decaying carcasses, smeared with deadly corpse poison. Even a Daluo Golden Immortal afflicted would suffer greatly. Using such a low tactic of releasing venomous insects was prohibited during duels, but driven to this extreme by Qin Feng, the wolf bear could no longer care about the rules!

Qin Feng was only participating in the contest as a substitute for Sun Wukong, and Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng certainly did not wish for his victory. Of this, the wolf bear was almost certain. Releasing the Corpse Rot Wasps would undoubtedly go unimpeded by Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng!

As expected, upon the marshal's platform, Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng's brow merely twitched without uttering a word of interruption, merely watching as the swarm of Corpse Rot Wasps descended upon Qin Feng like a punishing tempest.

"Those are Corpse Rot Wasps! You're despicable, wolf bear!"

Qin Feng's face paled. Although of low rank in the Heavenly River Navy, his insights were not lacking. He instantly recognized the venomous insects, known for their notoriety and explicitly banned from duels. He never anticipated that the wolf bear had nurtured such insects, or would be so brazen as to openly release them during the contest.

"Water Control True Art, Chasing Wave Strike!"

In his shock, Qin Feng hastily employed the strongest ultimate move he could muster. Waves surged forth from the water of the Heavenly River, forming countless curtains around him, blocking the onslaught of the Corpse Rot Wasps. He wasn't sure if the Chasing Wave Strike could fend off these wasps but had no choice but to give it his all, treating it as a last resort!

A series of explosive noises ensued as the wasps collided with the water curtains, disintegrating into ash under the destructive force of the Water Spiritual Qi within. But Qin Feng's expression remained grim—there were simply too many of the Corpse Rot Wasps, and the power of the water curtains was insufficient to eradicate them all.

Weng weng~!

Some of the wasps had already breached the water curtains and continued to advance toward Qin Feng!

"Great Saint, save me!"
