406: Sun Wukong's indestructible body!

Hearing this, the Monkey King's eyes grew even more ferocious: "Can't crush it? Old Sun wants to see just how hard this waste's skull really is!"

He increased the pressure in his hand, and Tripitaka's skull emitted a teeth-grinding "creak," on the verge of shattering completely!

"Demon Monkey! Let him go!"

A crisp, angry rebuke cut through the air!

Immediately following, a ring-shaped Magical Artifact shimmering with golden runes appeared at the Monkey King's wrist like a teleportation, clamping down fiercely!

"Hum—!"

Golden light exploded, and a powerful force of restraint and Seal suddenly erupted!

Caught off guard, the Monkey King's wrist stung, and his hand gripping Tripitaka involuntarily loosened!

Seizing the opportunity, a lithe red figure rushed into the scene like a whirlwind, scooped up the nearly unconscious Tripitaka, and quickly retreated, putting distance between them and the Monkey King.

The newcomer was a young woman dressed in red martial attire, with a slender figure and a beautiful face that carried a touch of wild, heroic spirit.

In her hands, she gripped a pair of uniquely shaped metal rings—the very Magical Artifact that had just repelled the Monkey King: the Boundless Flying Rings!

Her gaze was sharp, like a mother leopard protecting her cub, staring intensely at the Monkey King. Her magical power surged; she was clearly an Exorcist of no small capability!

She was none other than the rising star of the Exorcist world, Miss Duan!

"Mi... Miss Duan..." Tripitaka weakly opened his eyes. Seeing who had saved him, a flicker of gratitude and complexity flashed in his eyes.

"Are you alright?" Miss Duan shielded him behind her, asking without turning her head, her gaze never leaving the Monkey King.

"Still... still alive..." Tripitaka said with a struggle.

The Monkey King shook his wrist, which was somewhat numb from the blow of the Boundless Flying Rings. Looking at the suddenly appeared Miss Duan, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes—surprised that this little ant had actually managed to hurt him just now.

It immediately turned into rage: "Another bug looking for death! What kind of day is it today, that bugs keep popping out one after another!"

Miss Duan paid no attention to the Monkey King's clamoring. She turned her head abruptly,

and her fiery, beautiful eyes glared directly at Lu Jiuyuan, who was watching from the sidelines, her voice filled with irrepressible anger:

"And you! You Cold Blood guy! You clearly have the ability, so why didn't you step in to save him just now?

Just watching with your own eyes as this stinking monk was crushed to death by this demon monkey? You so-called experts only know how to be mysterious and refuse to save those in danger. What kind of skill is that!"

Sigh! Old Daoist Zhang let out a sigh; he didn't see the scene he wanted to see and was unhappy (＃｀д´)ﾉ.

"You all are monkeying around! I'm not monkeying around, just watching the show, yet I still get scolded?" Lu Jiuyuan said, somewhat puzzled.

"Monkeying around?" While the others hadn't reacted yet,

the Monkey King's eyes instantly turned blood-red, and the already violent Demonic Qi around him exploded like a lit powder keg!

What he hated most in his life was being looked down upon and being mocked!

It was like that five hundred years ago, and five hundred years later, someone actually dared to touch his reverse scale to his face!

"You! Are! Dead!"

He squeezed these three words out from between his teeth, his figure instantly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Lu Jiuyuan!

Without any unnecessary flair, there was only the simplest, purest punch, condensed with boundless demonic power, aimed directly at Lu Jiuyuan's face!

This punch was so fast it transcended visual capture, and its power was so strong it seemed capable of punching through space!

Where the fist passed, the air was compressed to the extreme, emitting sharp sonic booms, even causing light itself to distort!

Void Young Master only felt a blur before his eyes, his heart seemingly gripped by an invisible giant hand, and even his breathing stalled!

Facing this destructive strike born of rage, Lu Jiuyuan's eyes narrowed slightly. He could feel that this punch was completely different from the previous probing attacks; the killing intent and power contained within had already exhausted the limit of what the Monkey King could mobilize at this moment!

He stepped forward, his fingers joined like a sword. The True Qi within him circulated at an unprecedented speed, condensing at his fingertips, transforming into a point of extremely refined cold light that seemed capable of piercing all things, and with one finger, he struck out to meet that world-destroying fist!

Breaking the surface with a point!

"Ding—!"

An extremely sharp, strange sound, like metal clashing or glass shattering, exploded!

At the focal point where the finger and fist collided, space suddenly collapsed inward, then instantly expanded outward, transforming into a visible transparent shockwave that spread crazily in a ring shape!

"Rumble—!"

Wherever the shockwave passed, the ground was scraped away by several feet, and soil and rocks were lifted and thrown like ocean waves! In the distance, the mountain walls shook violently, and countless rocks tumbled down!

Void Young Master, protecting the four old women, was blown away directly, tumbling as he was slammed into the distance.

Old Daoist Zhang remained motionless, as if a projection in the Void Realm, not affected in the slightest.

Miss Duan pulled Tripitaka and retreated rapidly, barely stabilizing her stance at the edge of the shockwave, her face full of horror.

At the center of the collision, Lu Jiuyuan's figure swayed, and he stepped back once; the ground beneath his feet shattered inch by inch, but he ultimately stood firm.

The two fingers of his right hand, joined like a sword, had shattered into powder.

Meanwhile, the Monkey King maintained his punching posture, motionless. On his seemingly thin and small fist, not even a white mark was left.

"What a fine Invincible Vajra body!" Lu Jiuyuan said slowly. With a shake of his right hand, it suddenly turned into particles and re-aggregated, his five fingers complete, showing not a trace of injury.

With his Fiery Eyes of Truth staring fixedly at Lu Jiuyuan, the rage on the Monkey King's face faded slightly as he looked at that undamaged palm.

"A bit interesting..." He slowly retracted his fist and flexed his wrist. "Gathering and dispersing at will, being able to take a punch with seventy percent of Old Sun's power head-on and remain uninjured—you guy are much stronger than those wastes from before. You really do have the ability to be arrogant."

A cruel arc spread across the corner of his mouth: "However, that was just a warm-up! Now, let Old Sun see your limit!"

Before the words had even faded, the Monkey King's figure disappeared again!

The next moment, a sky full of fist shadows completely submerged Lu Jiuyuan like a storm!

The Monkey King's figure was like lightning, constantly flashing, disappearing, and reappearing in the space around Lu Jiuyuan!

The sky full of fist shadows were not feints; every single punch contained terrifying power capable of shattering mountains and disrupting rivers,

bombarding Lu Jiuyuan from all directions, above and below, with no blind spots!

This was no longer a single attack, but a violent assault that combined speed, power, and technique to the extreme!

The fist wind tore through the air, emitting continuous sonic booms. The entire clearing seemed to be hammered by countless invisible giant hammers simultaneously; the ground constantly caved in and cracked, and the dust was shaken apart by even more violent forces before it could even rise!

Lu Jiuyuan was at the center of the storm, his expression grave to the extreme.

He pushed his pride-worthy speed to the limit, urged the Seven Nothings Ultimate Realm to the extreme, and his figure shifted rapidly between reality and illusion, like a lone boat in a raging sea, weaving and dodging through the gaps of the destructive fist shadows.

His speed was equally astonishing, leaving countless afterimages in place while his real body had already appeared elsewhere.

At times, his finger sword would strike out, precisely meeting the side of a certain fist shadow, attempting to break force with skill;

at other times, his figure would completely turn into the Void Realm, letting the violent fist energy pass through the nothingness.

"Clang!"

"Bang!"

"Ssh—!"

The dense sounds of collisions, air explosions, and the sound of space being torn apart were ceaseless!

Lu Jiuyuan's finger sword collided head-on with the Monkey King's fist again. This time, his entire right arm instantly exploded into powder. He let out a muffled groan, used the force to fly back, and his figure stepped out layer upon layer of sonic booms in the air before he could barely discharge that savage force.

With a shake of his body, the particles of his arm re-aggregated, restoring it completely.

The Monkey King, however, would not let up when gaining the upper hand. Following like a shadow, he reached out with a claw, aiming straight for Lu Jiuyuan's throat! The claw wind was sharp, seemingly capable of tearing through space!

Lu Jiuyuan's throat area instantly turned into the Void Realm, and the sharp claw passed through, but the wind it brought plowed five deep furrows into the ground behind him!

He joined his fingers to slash back, a thread-like, condensed Sword Qi striking toward the Monkey King's wrist, but it only emitted a crisp "ding" sound, failing to leave even a trace.

"Useless! Useless!"

"Old Sun stole Peaches of Immortality, stole Golden Cores, ate all the Heaven And Earth Treasure and Spirit Pill, and was tempered in the Eight Trigrams Furnace to achieve a Hunyuan unity, Invincible Vajra, impervious to all spells!"
