429: Angry Monk

One day ago, when the Great Tang soldiers were fully prepared and ready to set out for Dongying, a warrior from Xi Liang Womens Kingdom stumbled into the city gate while slumped over her horse.

The woman was covered in knife wounds, along with traces of burns and frost, looking incredibly miserable.

After the gate guards stopped her and asked about her background, they heard her murmuring a desire to find the Holy Monk. They hurriedly rescued her and sent someone to report it to the Emperor and the Holy Monk, Tang Sanzang.

When the woman arrived at Du Xin Domain, Tang Ku recognized at a glance that she was the personal guard of the Queen of Daughter's Country.

In that instant, Tang Ku realized that something had happened to Daughter's Country, and it was no ordinary matter.

That night, just after the city gates were closed, hundreds of strange auras, mixed with Immortal Qi, snuck into the city. They were detected by the defensive array of the Si Tian Jian, which immediately sent people to seek help from Du Xin Domain, hoping they could help ferret out these unidentified infiltrators.

Tang Ku was in a dilemma at the time, but later, Great Immortal Zhenyuan said that they would handle things within Chang'an, and told him and Erlang Shen to go and provide rescue.

Tang Ku pondered repeatedly and gave many instructions before setting off with Yang Jian toward Xi Liang Womens Kingdom.

When they reached Daughter's Country, Tang Ku's eyes nearly burst with rage. He saw the entire city filled with soaring resentment, as if it were a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. At this moment, a group of guys clad in armor, yet carrying heavy Immortal Qi, were slaughtering the city and had already surrounded the imperial palace.

These invaders wore different uniforms, seemingly from more than one country, and hidden within their Killing Intent was a trace of Immortal Qi. With his Spiritual Awareness Microscopic, Tang Ku could see clearly that these guys were no different from the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals from before.

"Holy Monk, there are no living people left in the city!" Yang Jian said in a deep voice.

Tang Ku did not answer. His eyes scanned the entire city in an instant, the blood vessels in his eyeballs nearly bursting. Just then, the corner of his eye suddenly caught a figure faintly hiding in the clouds mid-air.

"That aura... it seems somewhat familiar!"

The divine eye on Yang Jian's forehead was no slouch either; seeing Tang Ku pay attention to that direction, he couldn't help but look over as well.

"Heh, of course you are familiar with it..."

Tang Ku gritted his teeth, his figure vanishing instantly. When he reappeared, he had already broken through the clouds and was tightly choking the neck of the person hiding within.

"Lunar Star Lord... you are courting death!"

Tang Ku had never been so angry, or rather... he had never wanted to kill someone so much.

Caught off guard, Lunar Star Lord didn't even have the strength to resist before a violent surge of Buddha Power invaded her body, leaving her without even the strength to lift her arm. Her pretty face turned flushed, and she thought to herself: "You... you should at least give me a chance to explain!"

However, Tang Ku did not give her that chance. With the veins on his forehead bulging, Tang Ku roared: "I have already given you one chance, but you did not cherish it..."

He tightly gripped Lunar Star Lord's neck, then suddenly slammed her head-first, smashing her fiercely into the ground.

Boom!

When Yang Jian turned his head, he only saw a shadow flash by. The ground within a radius of a thousand meters had been completely sunken by two or three meters by Tang Ku's strike, forming a giant crater as if hit by a meteorite.

Lunar Star Lord suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Knowing that this matter could not end well, she hurriedly recited a life-saving incantation.

Hum!

A jade pendant hanging at her waist lit up with a cyan-green light, and a screen of light instantly appeared on her body, actually forcefully pushing away the palm with which Tang Ku was choking her.

Gaining a moment of respite, she wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but unexpectedly, that screen of light only pushed away Tang Ku's palm for less than a second before it was crushed by a primordial giant force!

Bang!

As if having fallen into a berserk state, Tang Ku punched the opponent again and again, the immense power eventually crushing her into a pulp before he finally stopped.

Blood splashed, but it was blocked by the Buddha Power on Tang Ku's body, leaving him without even a speck of blood on him.

Having finished all this, Tang Ku shook his hands nonchalantly. Then, a whirlwind rose from the flat ground beside him, and Tang Ku's figure suddenly vanished.

And when he reappeared, he was already at the entrance of the imperial palace. Behind him, those eerie warriors surrounding the palace suddenly had their chests burst open, revealing huge holes, and they then collapsed into the dust one after another.

Streams of light suddenly floated out from these bodies. When Tang Ku looked up, they were actually all souls of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

Over there, Yang Jian was stunned when he saw this scene. For a moment, he didn't know what to do. After all, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals belonged to the Jade Emperor, and that cheap uncle was his relative, no matter what, so his mind was still struggling.

The expressions of those Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were complex; there was fear, disbelief, and of course, endless hatred.

They had previously managed to preserve their souls with great difficulty, abandoning their Physical Body to come to the Mortal realm, possessing some Mortals, and then, with much effort under orders from above, managed to Cultivate back to Immortal Ascension, yet unexpectedly, during their first mission, they were killed again and lost their Physical Body.

This was something no one could endure!

However, despite their hatred, their eyes held more fear when looking at Tang Ku.

"This Holy Monk, this monk is really... too terrifying!"

The leading sergeant swallowed—if there was such a thing as saliva in a spiritual state.

"Heh, go back and tell your boss that I will come looking for him..."

Tang Ku looked at them, his eyes full of Killing Intent.

These souls shivered instantly and turned to flee. The sergeant was even faster, his speed far surpassing the souls of the soldiers beside him.

However, the moment he turned around, the souls beside him exploded one by one like fireworks.

In the blink of an eye, he was the only one left!

"To deliver the message, one is enough!"

Tang Ku's cold voice came from behind. The sergeant wailed and cried for his parents, not even daring to look back, and just flew toward the sky like that.

"Erlang Shen, if you blame the Poor Monk for this, the Poor Monk has nothing to say!"

Tang Ku glanced at Erlang Shen and said in a deep voice, "This matter... those idiots in the Heavenly Court offended the wrong person!"

Yang Jian's breath hitched. In Tang Ku's eyes, he saw the same unruliness as the monkey back then, as well as a heavy Killing Intent like that of an Asura god of slaughter.

Tang Sanzang had likely completely transformed, transformed into a person decisive in slaughter.

Tang Ku shook his head, then looked at the sky and said: "I finally understand now why Wukong wanted to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace back then. These high and mighty immortals never treated the common people in the Mortal world as humans. They are high and mighty, self-righteous, occupying positions without doing any work, and have never thought for the common people of the world... Heh, immortals? I think it is time to bury all these immortals!"
