Chapter 30

"Great Sage, you must think carefully," Tai Bai Jin Xing said. "Going against the Heavenly Court is no good thing. You opposed them 500 years ago, and you know the result. It would be better to accept this old man's proposal and ascend to heaven as a deity."

"No need for more words," Sun Wukong waved his Golden Cudgel. "I no longer trust you. Does the Heavenly Court think it can toy with me? It won't be that easy."

Tai Bai Jin Xing shook his head. "I have said all I can. Farewell." He rode a cloud and flew into the sky, disappearing in a moment. However, the Nine Star Lords did not follow.

Sun Wukong looked at the Nine Star Lords with a sidelong glance.

The Nine Star Lords stared at Sun Wukong, ready for battle.

"What do you nine want? Why don't you follow Old Tai Bai? Do you really want to kill Tang Sen?" Sun Wukong asked.

"It is our duty!" the Nine Star Lords said in unison. "We can't return without a fight; we can't face our superiors."

"Was the defeat 500 years ago not enough? Do you want to be beaten by me again until your heads are full of bruises?"

The leader of the Nine Star Lords, Ketu, stepped forward. "500 years ago, we were not your match, but these 500 years, you have been under the Five-Finger Mountain, making no progress in cultivation, while we have trained hard for 500 years and enjoyed the offerings of our followers. Who is stronger and who is weaker, it's not so clear."

"Then you want to fight?" Sun Wukong laughed. "Come on, come on..."

Suddenly, the Nine Star Lords moved in a chaotic pattern, forming an array. A chilling aura spread from the array, enveloping Sun Wukong.

"So you nine have practiced a new array. No wonder you dare to challenge me." Sun Wukong didn't care about the array; he just charged in with his cudgel.

In an instant, the ten of them were locked in battle. Sun Wukong swung his Golden Cudgel, charging left and right, while the Nine Star Lords circled around her, the array moving like a stream, their nine weapons continuously attacking Sun Wukong. She was not afraid, and with renewed vigor, she fought against all nine, making it a fierce and indistinguishable battle.

The array spun faster and faster, quickly turning into a mist, making it hard to see clearly.

Tang Sen stood by, watching the battle. He saw nine colors of light flying everywhere, but he couldn't see what was happening inside the battle circle. His eyes couldn't keep up with the speed of the ten fighters.

His brows furrowed, and he felt very uncomfortable.

He was not someone who liked to rely on others. If the Heavenly Court sent people to kill him, he should face it himself, but unfortunately, his strength was not enough, and he had to rely on Sun Wukong. This undoubtedly burdened her, and he felt a strong sense of guilt, making him very uneasy.

The Black Bear Spirit jumped out from behind Tang Sen. "I'll help Sister Wukong." She shouted and jumped into the battle circle. Tang Sen still couldn't see what was happening inside, but he saw the Black Bear Spirit jump out, holding her buttocks and shouting, "Ouch, it's burning, it's burning... Star Lord Huo De set me on fire... Ouch..."

A small tuft of fur on her buttocks was burning. Tang Sen was startled and quickly reached out to pat the flames.

But the Black Bear Spirit didn't let him, dodging to the side. "Hey, are you crazy? Touching a woman's buttocks is sexual harassment, I'll sue you!"

"What do you look like a woman? You're a female bear, okay?" Tang Sen covered his face. "Why would I sexually harass a toy bear? Hey, your butt is going to burn through."

The Black Bear Spirit looked back at the flames on her buttocks, which seemed to be burning through. She cried out, "Help me!"

"Aren't you afraid of sexual harassment?"

"Scared... but I'm more afraid of my butt burning through, the cotton inside will come out..."

Tang Sen was speechless, silently walking over to help the Black Bear Spirit put out the fire. A small patch of fur was burned, looking very pitiful. The Black Bear Spirit looked like she was about to cry.

Tang Sen comforted her, "Don't cry. When we reach the next town, I'll buy some fur of a similar color to patch it up for you."

"I can't cry, I don't have any tears," the Black Bear Spirit said with a sad face. "I can't help Sister Wukong, all because of that fire user."

At that moment, a weak voice came from the side. It was Xiao Bai Long. "Hey, Black Bear Sister, you could have asked me to put out the fire, you wouldn't have to be touched by a man."

The Black Bear Spirit: "..."

Tang Sen: "..."

An awkward silence lasted for several seconds. The Black Bear Spirit jumped up and screamed, "You turned into a bicycle, I completely forgot about you!"

"Hey, focus on the important things. Sun Wukong is still fighting the enemies. We need to think of a way to help her," Tang Sen said irritably. "Forget it, neither of you is reliable. I'll think of a way to help her."

He said this, but he didn't know what to do. Sigh, my strength is still not enough!

Tang Sen sat cross-legged on the ground, carefully examining the divine power in his body, trying to see what he could do.

He had been secretly supported by the cunning Guanyin to become the guardian deity of otaku for quite some time. The worship of otaku had given him a lot of divine power. He took a quick look inside and found that his divine power had a solid foundation.

A strange feeling arose in his heart. There shouldn't be many believers in the Otaku Goddess religion, and it hasn't been long. Why is my divine power so abundant? How strange, could it be... there's something hidden in me?

No, now is not the time to think about that.

Tang Sen put aside his wild thoughts and quietly guided his divine power, circulating it throughout his body. When the divine power entered his eyes, he felt the world slow down. A mosquito flew by, and he could see each wing beat clearly.

Tang Sen quickly looked at the battle circle. This time, he could finally see what was happening inside. The Nine Star Lords each held a position, driving the array, which revolved rapidly around Sun Wukong. Their attacks continuously targeted her...

The array was quite mysterious. The Nine Star Lords' attacks were well-coordinated, each making up for the others' weaknesses, making Sun Wukong struggle to keep up. She tried several times to break out of the array but couldn't find an opportunity, trapped in the center, blocking and dodging.

The Sun Star Lord moved in front of Sun Wukong, suddenly raising a bronze mirror. Ten thousand rays of golden light shot out, blinding Sun Wukong. She squinted, and at that moment, the Moon Star Lord had already moved over, swinging a crescent moon saber at her vital points.

Sun Wukong blocked with her cudgel, but the Sun Star Lord had already moved to the side, and the Fire Star Lord threw a fireball at her. Although Sun Wukong was not afraid of water or fire, this fireball was the Three Pure Fires, so she had to dodge. The Water Star Lord then threw a large water ball at her, and Sun Wukong, caught off guard, was enveloped in the water, feeling her movements slow down.

The Wood, Earth, and Metal Star Lords took the opportunity to attack together. Sun Wukong used a water-repelling technique to push the water ball away but had to deal with the combined attacks of the Wood, Earth, and Metal Star Lords, making her hands and feet busy.

Finally, the Ketu and Rahu Star Lords swung their swords, shouting, "Ketu, Rahu, Dark Sword Kill!" They moved forward in a crisscross pattern, their swords flashing in an "X" shape.

(The editor flew in from a distance, punching Thirty-Second Uncle to the ground. "What kind of ridiculous move names are these? Do you think I haven't played Super Robot Wars?" Thirty-Second Uncle sweated. "Well... don't worry about the details.")

Sun Wukong couldn't defend herself and had to endure. There were two "clangs" as the swords of the Ketu and Rahu Star Lords struck her back, cutting an "X" shape into her leopard print dress. Fortunately, her body was like a hundred-refined diamond, and she didn't get hurt, but the impact made her feel very uncomfortable.

Tang Sen frowned. "Not good. If we can't figure out the secrets of their array, Wukong might really be injured by them."
