Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 226 I, Old Sun, Don’t Care About Military Law at All (Second Update)

"Who won?"

Unlike the envious and resentful soldiers of the Heavenly River Navy, what Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng cared about most was the question of who had won.

In the midst of the Martial Arts Field where vigor energy boiled over, even Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng could not discern who had won the contest of ultimate moves, for he did not possess Sun Wukong’s Void-Breaking Divine Eye, which could penetrate the flames and smoke. He could only suppress his anxiousness and stare hard into the blinding light.

Finally, the bright light gradually dissipated, and the massive waves in the sky slowly calmed down to reveal the figures of Qin Feng and the wolf-bear wrapped in a curtain of water.

There were three figures!

Qin Feng was half-kneeling in the Heavenly River, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his face pale; it was obvious he was injured, and severely at that, while the wolf-bear was being held by the neck in mid-air by someone, its legs shaking in a struggle, its arms flailing madly, yet unable to break free from that iron grip.

It was Sun Wukong’s hand! Sun Wukong was holding the wolf-bear by the neck, lifting it into the air!

"Despicable and shameless creature, resorting to such dirty tricks one after another. Even I can’t stand watching this any longer!"

With ice-cold contempt, Sun Wukong’s scolding resonated clearly into the ears of every Naval Soldier, emitting an extremely chilling aura. It was a pure killing intent!

Sun Wukong had developed a murderous intent towards the wolf-bear!

"It’s that Demon Monkey! How could he appear here?"

Atop the command platform, Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng’s eyeballs practically popped out of their sockets. Sun Wukong was supposed to be knocked out drunk, right in his own house, with so many soldiers watching over him. How could he suddenly appear here like seeing a ghost?

Suddenly, Zhu Tianpeng realized what had happened. Damn it, he had been tricked by that Demon Monkey! The Demon Monkey hadn’t been drunk at all, and he had already been here from the beginning!

The True Solar Fire belonged uniquely to Sun Wukong, and that was well-known throughout the Heavenly Court. When Qin Feng emitted True Solar Fire to burn the rotting corpse and poison bees, Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng was surprised. How could Qin Feng also possess True Solar Fire? Now, it all made sense to him; it was Sun Wukong’s True Solar Fire!

The Demon Monkey had been hiding within Qin Feng all along, secretly assisting him!

"No wonder Qin Feng suddenly became so powerful, even when the wolf-bear used poisonous insects and forbidden moves and still couldn’t defeat him. It was this monkey helping him in the shadows!"

Zhu Tianpeng cursed inwardly. He had clearly seen Sun Wukong drink the Thousand Day Drunk and had watched as Sun Wukong was carried away. It had only been one day since then; how had the monkey sobered up? Wasn’t it said that Thousand Day Drunk had no cure for Immortals and Gods below the Quasi-Saint level, ensuring a drunken stupor for a full thousand days?

But damn it, it wasn’t even close to a thousand days, not even a hundred or ten!

"It’s the Great Sage Equalling Heaven!"

"Great Sage Equalling Heaven has shown up! Wasn’t he drunk?"

"Nonsense, just because he was drunk doesn’t mean he can’t wake up. He’s truly formidable, immobilizing the wolf-bear with just one hand, offering no resistance at all!"

The soldiers of the Heavenly River Navy each widened their eyes, astonished by the sudden turn of events before them. They had not seen Sun Wukong appear nor understood why he had immediately grabbed the wolf-bear by the neck upon his entry. But it was clear that the wolf-bear had been subdued, powerless in Sun Wukong’s grasp, with its struggles growing weaker and weaker.

There was no doubt about this.

The strength of the wolf-bear was incomparable to Sun Wukong; the difference was like that between the earth and the sky, a firefly to the bright moon. The outcome was no longer in question!

"You, how, how could you..."

The wolf-bear, caught by the neck by Sun Wukong, felt its strength restrained, could only stare in terror as it squeezed out a sentence.

"How could I, Great Sage Sun, appear here and disrupt your dirty work? Is that it?"

Sun Wukong sneered, "Using poisonous insects during a contest is one thing, but shamelessly striking with a sneak attack when you have clearly lost and when the opponent mercifully spares you is another. Someone like you, scum of this sort, dares to call yourself a Legion Commander? I, as a fellow Vice-general and Legion Commander of this Heavenly River Navy, find such association a disgrace!"

In the previous clash of ultimate moves, Qin Feng had already won. The wolf-bear had begged Qin Feng for mercy. Considering the fight was over, and there was no need to be relentless, Qin Feng stopped his killer move. However, the wolf-bear took advantage of the moment Qin Feng withdrew his move and launched a sneak attack, wounding Qin Feng. Sun Wukong simply couldn’t watch any longer.

Allowing such scum to win with such despicable methods in his presence would be too humiliating for him, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven!

"You, what do you plan to do? I lost, I’ve already admitted defeat. Are you going to kill me now?"

Feeling the cold murderous aura emanating from Sun Wukong, the wolf-bear couldn’t help shivering. He had only acted so ruthlessly against Qin Feng following Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng’s secret orders. But considering the killing intent radiating from Sun Wukong, it seemed he was prepared to kill. The wolf-bear was afraid; he didn’t want to die yet!

"Marshal, save me!"

Gathering all his strength, the wolf bear struggled desperately. Although he couldn’t break free from Sun Wukong’s grip, he managed to shout out a plea.

"Stop! Great Sage Sun," Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng’s voice rang out, full of righteous indignation, prompting a sneer from Sun Wukong.

"Zhu, stop playing the big bad wolf in front of me! You really think I don’t know the little schemes you have up your sleeve?"

Turning his head towards the direction of the marshal’s platform, Sun Wukong coldly stared at Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng, not giving him any face as he rebuked, "Qin Feng fought on my behalf against this bastard. If their contest had been fair and just, I would never have intervened! But this scoundrel used forbidden poison insects and launched a shameless sneak attack after admitting defeat.

How could I just stand by and watch?"

"Zhu, if you think I’ve gone too far, fine, come down here and spar with me! If you win, I won’t kill him!"

With these righteous words, Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng’s face turned red and pale by turns. The wolf bear had actually launched a sneak attack after admitting defeat—no wonder Sun Wukong couldn’t hold back!

Using poison insects and shameless sneak attacks were nothing much in Zhu Tianpeng’s eyes, but having Sun Wukong expose them so bluntly in public was different. After all, Zhu Tianpeng was the commander of a hundred thousand soldiers of the Heavenly River Navy; he had to maintain fairness and justice publicly. Experience tales at novelbuddy

"Wolf bear, did you really launch a sneak attack after admitting defeat?"

Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng was well aware of Sun Wukong’s strength and was certain he was no match for this monkey. Faced with Sun Wukong’s challenge, he dared not accept the fight. He glanced at the wolf bear and asked with a serious face.

"I didn’t..."

A cunning look flashed in the wolf bear’s eyes as he denied it, but before he could finish his sentence, Sun Wukong pointed at his brow. Two beams of light shot from his eyes and formed an image in mid-air—the memory from the wolf bear’s mind, forced out by Sun Wukong, showcasing the events that occurred after his ultimate move clashed with Qin Feng’s.

The clash between Qin Feng and the wolf bear’s ultimate moves caused an energy upheaval, wrapping them in a bright watery curtain, invisible from the outside. But the wolf bear could see—he had lost!

In the image, Qin Feng’s spear rested at the wolf bear’s throat; a mere nudge and the wolf bear’s life would be over. Faced with the threat of death, the wolf bear lost his nerve and began to beg for mercy.

Qin Feng withdrew his spear, accepting the wolf bear’s surrender and plea for mercy. But, the moment he turned around, the wolf bear suddenly lashed out in a sneak attack, viciously striking Qin Feng’s back with the jagged edge of his broken blade, causing Qin Feng let out a muffled grunt from the severe injury and fall to his knees in the Heavenly River.

Just as the wolf bear was about to seize the chance to end Qin Feng’s life, Sun Wukong suddenly appeared, grabbed the broken blade, crushed it to dust, and in one step forward, seized the wolf bear by the neck, restraining him.

The course of events was laid bare within the memory image of the wolf bear, clear for all to see. This was his own recollection, which couldn’t be faked, and nobody could dispute it!

With this image revealed, every gaze from the naval soldiers of the Heavenly River Navy turned towards the wolf bear, filled with contempt and disdain. That such a person could rise to the rank of Legion Commander in the Heavenly River Navy was an utter disgrace!

"A shameless villain, he deserves death!"

"Violating the prohibition, using poison insects and despicable methods—such a shameless person doesn’t deserve to live, kill him!"

"Kill him, to uphold military discipline!"

Shouts of outrage began to ring out; not a single soldier of the Heavenly River Navy spoke in defense of the wolf bear. Such scum deserved no pleas for mercy, particularly the soldiers of the Watery Wolf Legion, who looked utterly ashamed; serving under such a person was a great dishonor, and they felt like they couldn’t even lift their heads.

"Well? Marshal Tianpeng, do you still think I should spare him?"

Sun Wukong looked askance at Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng with a mocking sneer.

"Hmph!"

Zhu Tianpeng snorted, his face extremely unsightly. But with the facts before him and public sentiment inflamed, even as the Marshal Tianpeng and the supreme leader of the Heavenly River Navy, he couldn’t ignore everyone’s feelings, especially since Sun Wukong, the Demon Monkey, wasn’t likely to listen to him!

"The wolf bear indeed deserves death, but it should be executed by military law, not by your private punishment, Great Sage Sun! Men, take him down. I will see to it that he receives a severe punishment; he will not be let off lightly!"

Grinding his teeth, Marshal Tianpeng spoke coldly. Following his order, a few of his personal guards flew into the martial arts field, attempting to take the wolf bear away from Sun Wukong.

"Military law? I don’t care about any military law! This bastard dared to use dirty tricks on my people, and for that, he must die!"

A cold light flickered in Sun Wukong’s eyes as a great amount of True Solar Fire erupted in his palm, spreading from the wolf bear’s neck to his entire body.
