Faced with this unexpected punch, Fang Xiu remained expressionless, as if he hadn't reacted at all, standing motionless in place.
However, the next second, something happened that surprised Sun Wukong: his fist, covered in monkey hair, passed right through Fang Xiu's arm and missed!
"What's going on?!" Sun Wukong withdrew his fist, looked around carefully, and had no idea what had happened.
Fang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly. Sun Wukong's sneak attack had forced him to restart the game, but it was all worth it as long as he won.
What he didn't expect was that Sun Wukong seemed unaware of the Dao of Nothingness.
But then I thought about it again. Sun Wukong had only been enlightened for a short time and had little contact with the outside world before. Although he was powerful, his knowledge was far inferior to that of the gods in Heaven.
As the boy said earlier, before Sun Wukong went to the Heavenly Court, he was just like him and didn't know what a true god was, which gives us a glimpse into the situation.
"This is impossible! I, Old Sun, clearly hit it!" Sun Wukong scratched his head again.
"You lost," Fang Xiu said calmly.
"Who said that? I, Old Sun, haven't lost yet. Wasn't it supposed to be three moves? This is only one move."
Seeing that he was starting to cheat, Fang Xiu said the most sarcastic words in the calmest tone: "It's no use trying. Whether it's three moves or three hundred moves, you can't hurt me. Just admit defeat."
Sun Wukong flew into a rage: "Admit defeat? I, Old Sun, have never even known how to write the word 'defeat'!"
"Then you should read more books when you have time."
Sun Wukong: "..."
"Enough with the nonsense. I have two moves left. If I, Old Sun, still can't hurt you after these two moves, then I'll admit defeat."
"bring it on."
"Wait, before we begin, there's one more thing. I, Old Sun, suspect that you're just a phantom, and your real body isn't here at all. Do you think you can fool me, Old Sun, with this kind of method?"
Fang Xiu realized that this monkey was truly exceptionally clever. He stepped forward, reached out and patted Sun Wukong on the shoulder to prove that he was not an illusion.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, a glint flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes: Now!
He threw another punch, aiming for Fang Xiu's arm.
Fang Xiu had to restart it again.
Such terrifying combat instincts! Even without knowing the Dao of Nothingness, even after just one exchange, they immediately found an opening.
However, no matter how powerful Sun Wukong is, his death-rewinding technique is ultimately superior.
Sun Wukong's face darkened as he missed again, scratching his head in frustration: "I refuse to believe I can't hit you today! Of all the magic in the world, I, Sun Wukong, will break it all with my own strength! Golden Cudgel!"
This time he was serious. He reached into his ear with two fingers and pulled out an embroidery needle. The needle grew longer in the wind and instantly transformed into a straight long stick with golden hoops at both ends. The middle part was shaped like a black iron rod with stars scattered around it. Right next to the hoops was an engraved line of words: "Ruyi Jingu Bang" (The Ruyi Golden Hoop). It was also covered with dense patterns and dragon and phoenix seal script.
The moment Sun Wukong grasped the golden cudgel, his entire aura changed drastically. A terrifying and violent pressure suddenly descended, and the air seemed to be filled with lead, almost compressed to a solid state.
His short, thin figure seemed to stand tall and imposing, exuding unparalleled power and boundless influence.
If he previously gave the impression of being just an ordinary monkey, now he is a peerless demon capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.
If he hadn't been holding back most of his power for fear of damaging the Peach Garden, his aura would have been even more terrifying than it is now.
"Hey! Take this from me, Old Sun!"
He swung the golden cudgel fiercely. In his hands, the golden cudgel was as light as a feather, but when it crashed down, it was as if the entire sky was pressing down at once. The terrifying force was so great that even the void could not withstand it and shattered with a crash. Even the laws of the universe seemed to be groaning in despair.
Fang Xiu neither dodged nor avoided the blow, but faced it head-on, mainly because he simply couldn't dodge it.
Whoosh!
The stick flashed across his arm and slammed into the ground, but the expected earth-shattering destructive force did not materialize. The ground did not crack in the slightest, and not even a speck of dust was kicked up.
The commotion caused by the falling golden cudgel was less than the weight of a single feather.
Effortless mastery!
With Fang Xiu's current insight, he could naturally see that this was not Sun Wukong holding back, but rather that the other party had already reached the point of becoming one with the Golden Cudgel, concentrating all his power within the Golden Cudgel without leaking out in the slightest.
When the staff struck, Sun Wukong seemed to freeze, suffering a major blow. He squatted on the ground and began drawing circles with his golden cudgel.
He kept muttering to himself, "I lost... I, Old Sun, actually lost!?"
Fang Xiu stepped forward to comfort him, saying, "It's alright. You've never beaten me before anyway. You'll get used to losing."
It's hard.
Sun Wukong's fist hardened; he now desperately wanted to hit someone, smash things, and wreak havoc.
After a moment, he loosened his fist, took a deep breath, and seemed to have returned to his previous Zen-like state: "Speak, what do you want me, Old Sun, to do? We agreed before that it must be something I, Old Sun, can do in a short time, and it can't be too difficult."
Fang Xiu nodded, indicating that he understood: "This matter is not difficult for you; it just depends on whether you have the courage to do it."
Sun Wukong scoffed, "Is there anything in this world that I, Old Sun, dare not do?"
"Then go and ruin the Peach Banquet."
Sun Wukong froze for a moment before reacting: "The Peach Banquet was going well, why did you ruin it?"
Fang Xiu did not choose to tell the truth, because he had no way of proving that the peaches were poisonous, so he lied and said, "Because the Queen Mother of the West did not invite me to the Peach Banquet."
