Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 706 - 645 Ghost Tathagata_4
And the reason Sun Wukong did not make a move was that he feared he wouldn't be able to restrain his killing intent against Tathagata once he acted, potentially finishing him off with a single strike. Tathagata couldn't die just yet, as he still had many things that weren't clarified. Ji Meng had already cultivated in the World Within the Artifact for quite some time, yet the only one he could spar with on a daily basis was Ying Zhao, so Ji Meng was itching for a fight. Had Sun Wukong not specially instructed him earlier, those formidable figures from the Great Honored Buddhism wouldn't be enough for Ji Meng to toy with. Now that an opportunity arose, Ji Meng naturally wouldn't let it pass. He hastily agreed and then, without any further ado with Tathagata, his body aloft in the air, Ji Meng transformed back to his true form. At the same time, his body suddenly turned ethereal, and in a flash, he charged towards Tathagata.
In the blink of an eye, as Ji Meng surged forth, he suddenly split into two, and two into four, until the entire sky appeared filled with hundreds of Ji Mengs, resembling a well-organized and disciplined army charging at Tathagata. Witnessing this visually stunning moment, Tathagata showed no sign of surprise; instead, he whispered disdainfully, "Competing in numbers? Hmph, you're still lacking!" Then, with his left hand flat across his chest and his right hand dancing rapidly in front, his right-hand movements became so fast that the trail it left eventually formed a ghastly face.
Following that, Tathagata pushed forward with both hands, and from within his body suddenly erupted a thousand rays of black light. Each ray of light that emerged transformed into a fierce ghost, which wailed and surged in retaliation against the hundreds of charging Ji Mengs. Then, Sun Wukong witnessed a battle resembling two armies clashing. Whether it was the fierce ghosts or Ji Meng's doppelgangers, shockingly, all of them were real entities, not mere illusions. On an individual cultivation level, Ji Meng trumped the ghosts. But the ghosts outnumbered Ji Meng by several times, resulting in Ji Meng's doppelgangers being completely annihilated.
Watching as all the Ji Meng in the sky disappeared, Tathagata scornfully said, "Is that all?" But then, Tathagata's expression suddenly changed. No, it was easy to eliminate Ji Meng's doppelgangers, but the real Ji Meng absolutely couldn't be wiped out by a few mere evil ghosts. Almost instantly, Tathagata felt a terrifying aura behind him. Although surprised, he wasn't panicked. Without turning around, he merely sidestepped and assumed a posture ready to brace a hard blow.
Watching the battle from afar, Sun Wukong was startled. Was Tathagata really planning to withstand a full force strike from a Five Patterns Supreme? Where did his confidence come from? Or did he not realize the vast gap in strength between him and Ji Meng? Then, in the next instant, Sun Wukong knew he had been mistaken. As Ji Meng's claw reached Tathagata's back, Ji Meng suddenly let out a cry of pain, and Sun Wukong saw Tathagata's clothes torn apart, with numerous sharp bone spurs rising from his back.

Ji Meng's claw was caught entirely on the bone spurs. For some reason, the bone spurs were exceptionally hard and sharp; even the claw of a Five Patterns Supreme being driven down, Ji Meng's entire right hand was pierced through, yet the bone spurs remained undamaged. Just as Ji Meng's right hand reeled from the pain and his focus wavered slightly, Tathagata swiftly turned around and smashed his right fist directly into Ji Meng's abdomen. Ji Meng spat out a mouthful of blood, but before he could be flung away, Tathagata's left elbow suddenly shot up, brutally slamming into Ji Meng's jaw. This time, Ji Meng was finally sent flying.
Rather than pursuing him, Tathagata took off the tattered clothing marred by the bone spurs, revealing skin that resembled rhinoceros hide, covered with those abnormally sharp bone spurs.
"No wonder you were so confident, who would've thought you had such a trick up your sleeve. Tathagata, truly a good strategy!"
