Chapter 351: Chapter 351

Xuanzang watched the two arguing, fearing that Sun Wukong might act rashly and offend the Daoist Priest.

Xuanzang hastily advised, "Wukong, this is just the Priest showing hospitality. You should eat it!"

Upon hearing Xuanzang say this, a glint flashed in Sun Wukong’s eyes, but he did not immediately drink the cup of tea.

Zhu Bajie, always greedy for food, saw three red dates floating in the tea, quickly ate them, and then gulped down the remaining tea.

Xuanzang was also feeling thirsty, so he picked up the teacup and drank it, with Sand Monk following suit and drinking the tea as well.

However, after Zhu Bajie drank the tea, his complexion inevitably changed.

Not just that, even Sand Monk’s expression started to appear abnormal.

As Xuanzang’s cultivation level wasn’t high, he immediately began to foam at the mouth.

Then the three of them couldn’t help but clutch their stomachs, all fainting to the ground.

Witnessing this scene, although Sun Wukong hadn’t yet discovered the true form of the Monster, he had a vague feeling that this had to be one.

But since he hadn’t immediately realized it, naturally he didn’t attack straight away. However, seeing Zhu Bajie and the others in such a state,

he directly threw the cup of poisoned tea at the Yellow Flower Temple Master, who quickly dodged to the side.

With a ’clang,’ the teacup shattered against the wall.

Seeing this scene, the Yellow Flower Temple Master exclaimed angrily, "You thieving Monk! I hospitably welcomed you, and this is how you repay kindness with injury?"

Sun Wukong brandished the Jingu Bang, shouting furiously, "You demon path scoundrel, you actually poisoned us, don’t you flee! Take this stick from Old Sun."

Without waiting for an explanation, he ruthlessly smashed the stick toward the Yellow Flower Temple Master.

The Yellow Flower Temple Master, seeing that Sun Wukong’s stick was smashing down, turned pale and hastily dodged to the side, narrowly escaping Sun Wukong’s blow.

Following this, the Temple Master drew his weapon—a treasured sword—smirking coldly, seeming completely unafraid of Sun Wukong.

Enraged, Sun Wukong cursed through clenched teeth, "What rude monster are you from? We have no grievance with you, yet you try to harm us with poisoned tea."

The Yellow Flower Temple Master sneered, "You impudent monkey, you’ve already caused a great disaster, and you don’t even know it."

Sun Wukong snorted coldly and asked, "We just entered the temple, and we’ve barely said a word to each other. You demon path used poisoned tea to harm us and now you’re blaming us."

The Yellow Flower Temple Master sneered, "Did you pass through the Coiled Silk Cave before? The Seven Fairy Sisters of the Coiled Silk Cave are my junior sisters of the same sect, yet without reason, you’ve captured them. Today, I shall avenge my junior sisters."

The words of the Yellow Flower Temple Master were mere nonsense. Avenging his junior sisters was false; his real desire was to eat Xuanzang’s flesh.

It turned out that this Daoist was engaged in alchemy underground and, while spying on his junior sisters taking a bath, he overheard them mention Xuanzang. They said that Xuanzang was a Holy Monk with ten lifetimes of cultivation and that eating a piece of his flesh could grant longevity.

Upon hearing this, the Monster harbored evil intentions. Later, when he saw Sun Wukong capture the seven Spider Spirits,

the Daoist didn’t dare to act rashly, so he intentionally prepared poisoned tea, waiting for Xuanzang and his disciples to arrive, which indeed they did without taking long.

After hearing this accusation, Sun Wukong was furious, loudly declaring, "Nonsense about Seven Fairy Sisters, they were clearly seven Spider Spirits!"

"Since you’re their senior brother in the demon path, you’re surely not a kind soul. Evil spirit, surrender your life!"

With that, without wasting any more words, he raised his Jingu Bang once more and smashed it down.

However, Sun Wukong was full of doubts, wondering how this fellow could be a demon without his Fiery Golden Eyes detecting it.

Was it possible he had contracted an eye disease? Of course not.

Although Sun Wukong knew this Monster was an alchemist Daoist, he didn’t know that the Monster had concocted an elixir that, once consumed, could conceal the Monster Energy on his body, an elixir so extraordinary that even Fiery Golden Eyes couldn’t discern the truth.

The Yellow Flower Temple Master was equally unyielding, brandishing the treasured sword and attacking. The quarters inside were too cramped, and with Xuanzang, Zhu Bajie, and Sand Monk poisoned and their fates uncertain,

Sun Wukong, concerned about injuring his Master and fellow disciples in the fray, deliberately lured the Temple Master outside.

After only about a dozen exchanges, the fury from Sun Wukong left the main hall of the temple in ruins.

The little Daoist Boys of the temple were ordinary humans captured by the Temple Master. It was precisely because these boys were human that had they been little demons in disguise, Sun Wukong would have seen through them long ago.

These ordinary people had no magical abilities and had never seen such a scene, so they fled in alarm.

After the fight proceeded, Sun Wukong grew angrier as he worried about his Master’s safety. The more he fought, the angrier he got. Although the demon priest had some skills, he was no match for Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong seized an opportunity and struck the priest on the shoulder with his stick, sending him plummeting to the ground like a cannonball, creating a large crater on impact.

But the Monster was quick to react, and upon hitting the ground, turned into a cloud of black smoke and vanished.

Shortly afterward, the Monster reappeared in a corner, pulling out an elixir and quickly swallowing it. A green aura soon radiated from the Monster’s body.

The shoulder that had been battered and bruised was visibly healing at an astonishing rate, and in an instant, it was as good as new.

It turned out the Yellow Flower Temple Master was not only skilled at concocting poison pills, but his healing pills were also incredibly potent.

After consuming the elixir, the Yellow Flower Temple Master suddenly stretched out his hand and ripped his Daoist robe from his body. At this moment, Sun Wukong descended from the sky, and upon seeing the demon stripped of his clothes, he laughed and cursed, "My lad, it’s no use. Even if you strip naked, you still can’t beat me."

The Yellow Flower Temple Master sneered and said, "Ignorant impudent monkey, unaware of my power, today you shall witness what I am capable of."

As the demon spoke, he raised his arms, and incredibly, a thousand eyes grew from his flanks.

The Yellow Flower Temple Master chanted an incantation, and the thousand eyes all opened at once, shooting beams of golden light from their centers, which dazzled the onlooker.

At the same time, billows of yellow poison fog spread from the thousand eyes, instantly enshrouding the entire Daoist temple.

Sun Wukong, seeing the situation turning grim, had his face color drastically change and quickly lifted his Jingu Bang and smashed it towards the Yellow Flower Temple Master.

However, those beams of golden light were so blinding that Sun Wukong was forced to close his eyes tight, unable to open them at all.

The yellow smoke was also highly toxic, causing Sun Wukong to gradually feel dizzy and muddled, unsure of where the demon had hidden.

Wukong knew that continuing to fight this way would lead to no good end, so with a burst of might, he surged upward, trying to escape from the Golden Light Array of the Yellow Flower Temple Master.

The Yellow Flower Temple Master laughed grimly, "Impudent monkey, where do you think you’re going!"

With those words, he stimulated the Golden Light to block Sun Wukong’s escape.

Wukong’s head crashed against the Golden Light Barrier, causing him a sharp pain, and he was bounced back, rubbing his head, which had turned soft from the impact.

Wukong cursed in irritation, "Damn my luck, my head is no use today. In the past, it withstood chopping and hacking without harm; how come today it got soft from being hit by this golden light? What kind of monster is this, so powerful."

The demon’s Golden Light Array was indeed powerful. Wukong didn’t even know where the demon was; he couldn’t hit him, nor could he escape. He was so anxious that he was running in circles.

"Haha, impudent monkey, you are definitely not getting away today!"

The Yellow Flower Temple Master burst into laughter, watching Sun Wukong flounder like a headless fly. His divine skill was not something anyone could break through easily.

Not even the Great Sage Equalling Heaven.

Hearing the Yellow Flower Temple Master’s words, Sun Wukong grew furious, yet he truly had no other means to counter.

Dazzled by the myriad golden lights, he struggled to react.

But he couldn’t leave, for Xuanzang and the others had already been bewitched. If he were to leave now, Xuanzang’s fate would be uncertain.

Instantly, the Jingu Bang in his hands transformed into a mirror.

His idea was simple: if these light beams were so powerful, then if they could be reflected, couldn’t they be used to attack the demon?

Along with the transformation of the Jingu Bang into a mirror...

The myriad golden lights shone upon the mirror and, indeed, were reflected back.

Sun Wukong was overjoyed, hastily opening his eyes.

With his divine sense, Wukong located the approximate position of the Yellow Flower Temple Demon, and looking in that direction, he indeed saw the demon flaunting his divine might in a corner.

A cold smile emerged on Wukong’s lips as he quickly directed the mirror’s reflected golden light onto the Yellow Flower Temple Demon. The demon, caught in the mirror’s light, immediately let out pained screams.

His body swelled and elongated suddenly, bursting his Daoist robe in an instant.

The light’s reflection seemed to overwhelm the Yellow Flower Temple Demon, who immediately revealed his true form.

The Yellow Flower Temple Demon was actually a Multi-eyed Centipede, with a massive body stretching several meters long, as thick as a barrel, dark and shiny, but its head was a deep red hue.

Under the reflection of his own light, the Yellow Flower Temple Demon was not only injured but also exposed his true form.

Seeing the situation going south, the demon turned to run.

Now severely injured and back in his original form, if Sun Wukong were to strike again, his life would certainly end there and then.

"Well done, Centipede Spirit, daring to oppose your Grandpa Sun!"

The glow of the mirror in Wukong’s hand shifted, transforming back into the Jingu Bang.

In an instant, the Jingu Bang crashed directly towards the demon.

The demon was sent flying.

He let out scream after scream, yet despite this, the demon still didn’t give up the struggle. The thousand eyes on its body emitted waves of yellow poison fog.

As the Multi-eyed Centipede struggled, it shouted, "Sun Wukong, don’t be so smug. Even if my Golden Light Array can’t kill you, this poison will! If it comes to it, I will ensure we all perish together."

"What a huge centipede!" Sun Wukong couldn’t help but exclaim.

Seeing the demon wounded, it was time to strike while the iron was hot. Sun Wukong sent his staff crashing down.
