Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Just as the two experts from the Dark Soul Hall stepped onto the courtyard corridor, the gold-armored statues on both sides suddenly came to life. Their eyes lit up with a dazzling red glow, and they waved the weapons in their hands toward the pair.

In an instant, a storm of attacks with various attributes overwhelmed the two, their formidable power and speed completely engulfing the one at the front. The other Dark Soul Hall expert, slower in his step, realizing the peril, hastily retreated, narrowly escaping disaster from the courtyard corridor.

The dust settled, revealing the scene on the courtyard corridor that left everyone stunned. Aside from a barely visible trace of blood yet to be fully wiped out, the Domain King expert from the Dark Soul Hall who had been covered by the attacks had completely vanished, not even a trace remained, utterly annihilated into ashes!

"Gasp~!"

Everyone couldn't help but suck in a cold breath, feeling a chill run up their spine and through their skull, their gaze at the gold-armored statues now filled with uncontrollable fear instead of previous indifference.

Just one round of attack, a Domain King Realm expert rendered powerless and turned to ashes, it was unbelievably shocking!

If a Domain King from Dark Soul Hall couldn't withstand the attack of these gold-armored statues, it would be difficult for anyone else to resist them, wouldn't it?

How could one possibly pass through this courtyard corridor?

"Daoist Ancestor, these gold-armored statues can move, and they possess such destructive power. How can we pass through?"

Erlang God Yang Jian and the others gulped nervously. Though they were usually confident in their strength, at this moment they dared not attempt it lightly. After witnessing the previous example, a Domain King expert obliterated in a wave of attack, even if they were stronger than that expert, their capabilities were limited and they couldn't withstand this either!

"These statues are not simple!"

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor exchanged a glance with Pangu and Demon Ancestor Luo Hu, all of whom had lived the longest and held the highest power among the group, quickly discerning the anomaly. Those gold-armored statues seemed imbued with life for a moment but returned to silence after attacking, as if they hadn't made a move at all.

This phenomenon was definitely abnormal!

"It's mechanical techniques! These gold-armored statues aren't ordinary statues, they're mechanical puppets!"

Demon Ancestor Luo Hu said, having roamed the Northern Continent for many years before joining the Demon Soul Sect. The sect possessed numerous ancient scrolls that recorded strange tales from ancient times, including those about mechanical techniques.

This long-lost divine art was extremely powerful, with mechanical puppets capable of immense destructive power, capable of being triggered under specific conditions, and even releasing a destructive force feared by Domain Saint experts.

Yet the records in those ancient scrolls were too vague, only describing how bizarre the mechanical techniques were and how powerful the mechanical puppets were, without providing detailed accounts of their principles or constructions, hence Demon Ancestor Luo Hu could only recognize them as mechanical puppets and did not know how to dismantle them.

"Are these mechanical puppets truly so formidable? Even if we join forces, we're not their match?"

The Six-Eared Macaque showed a hint of defiance in his eyes, believing only Sun Wukong was strong enough to earn his admiration, and trusted others' words three out of ten times, retaining seven parts of skepticism. As for the terrible power of mechanical puppets crafted through the mechanical techniques, the Six-Eared Macaque felt disdain.

Even with the example of the Dark Soul Hall expert, the Six-Eared Macaque didn't think the expert was powerful. In his view, the Dark Soul Hall expert was far inferior, not to mention against Sun Wukong, but even against the Six-Eared, he believed the expert lacked much ability. The expert's defeat could have come from surprise, lacking any preparation, unable to retaliate when the attack arrived.

"I'll give it a try!"

With the Wishful Iron Staff in hand, the Six-Eared Macaque prepared to step onto the corridor when Nezha pulled him back, "Six-Eared, are you really going?"

"Don't worry, I won't go down before catching up with the boss! I'm just going to test it, but if it's dangerous, I'll retreat immediately!"

With that, he pulled his arm out of Nezha's grasp and stepped onto the courtyard corridor.

Swoosh!

The moment the Six-Eared Macaque stepped onto the corridor, the dormant gold-armored statues awakened once more. They turned, swinging their weapons to attack the Six-Eared Macaque, blades, spears, swords, mixed with destructive power, all rushing toward him.

In an instant, the hall echoed with roaring sounds, just like when the Dark Soul Hall expert was struck down.

"Six-Eared!"

"Don't resist, get out quickly!"

Erlang God Yang Jian and Nezha cried out urgently but didn't dare rush in to save him. With such dense attacks, acting rashly might lead to their own demise!

Through the smoke, the scene within the courtyard corridor revealed no trace of the Six-Eared Macaque, not even a hint of blood.

"No, it can't be, how could Six-Eared be dead just like that? I don't believe it!"

Nezha shook his head in disbelief, the crowd's faces turning dark.

"Humph, I thought he was some formidable figure, but he ended up perishing the same way!"

The remaining Dark Soul Hall Domain King expert sneered, prompting Nezha to stare at him with red eyes, "You filthy beast, dare to say it again?"

"What if I say it again? Dead is dead, he simply underestimated himself!"

"Mind who you're calling arrogant, look closely with your worthless eyes, your Six-Eared master is right here!"

The Dark Soul Hall Domain King expert had just finished speaking, and before Nezha could retort, a cold voice suddenly echoed from the depths of the courtyard corridor, shocking everyone as they looked up. There, casually leaning against the steps at the end of the corridor, with an expression of taunting amusement, was none other than the Six-Eared Macaque!

"Six-Eared! You brat, I thought you were dead, scared me half to death!"

Nezha rejoiced, promptly giving a smug glance at the Dark Soul Hall Domain King expert, "Your own kin dies from incompetence, and you assume everyone's like that? Truly laughable!"

"Who's that directed at? Say it again if you dare!"

The Dark Soul Hall Domain King expert roared in anger.

"Whoever takes it up, that's who I'm talking about!"
