531: High-end rules

Does it need approval?

Sun Wukong's movements were faster than anyone else's; by the time his voice fell, the staff in his hand had already landed on Franklin.

Bang... Boom!

A terrifying force erupted suddenly, shattering Franklin's entire body!

However, the shattered body did not fall to the ground as one might expect; instead, it instantly turned into countless electric sparks, suddenly condensing in another direction in mid-air. In the blink of an eye, a brand-new Franklin appeared again.

He frowned at this moment, touched his head, and said with lingering fear: "In the end, I was still injured. Is this the Power Law?"

Sun Wukong smacked his lips and said: "What do you think?"

"Heh, even if it is the Power Law, it cannot catch up to the speed of lightning. No matter how strong you are, it's a waste of effort if you can't hit me. Why don't we both stop and find another way out together?"

Franklin spread his hands and said: "After all, we aren't sworn enemies that can't be reconciled, are we?"

"From the moment you used my Disciple's life as part of your plan, we have already been locked in a life-or-death struggle!"

Tang Ku sneered, "As for your speed... heh, taking the Incarnation of lightning and approaching the speed of lightning does not mean you can reach the speed of lightning. You should know that the speed of lightning is basically equal to the speed of light, and among my Disciples, there just happens to be someone proficient in a fist technique called the Light-Speed Fist..."

Shi Jingmo stepped forward, pressed his palms together, and said: "Senior Brother Wukong, how about you leave this battle to me?"

Sun Wukong smacked his lips and said: "I don't want that. It's not easy to find an opportunity for my new body to adapt; today is the perfect chance to have a good fight with him! Hmm, how about this: to prevent him from running away, you can block his escape route. Just use that Light-Speed Fist of yours!"

"Very well, I'll just stand guard for Senior Brother then!"

Shi Jingmo stared at Franklin like a tiger watching its prey and said sincerely: "I advise you to just surrender honestly; my Senior Brother's temper is not very good!"

Franklin frowned slightly: "Do you think you have me cornered?"

As he spoke, the bracelet wrapped around his right wrist, which looked like a golden chain, suddenly shook. Immediately after, the power of lightning surged through the entire bracelet, and a brand-new iron chain as thick as a wrist appeared in his hand. It was clearly a weapon he had refined himself.

"Thunder... Noose!"

Hum!

The noose seemed to come alive and quickly darted toward the monkey. Sun Wukong was startled, but still smiled disdainfully, avoided the weapon in his hand, and grabbed the noose.

Snap... Bang!

The monkey was instantly knocked back by a huge force, and his monkey fur emitted a burnt smell. While startled, Sun Wukong's reaction was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he swung the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand, which instantly became very long, and smashed it fiercely toward Franklin's head.

However, under the control of lightning, the noose instantly retracted, actually forming something like a defensive array in front of him. Sun Wukong's Ruyi Jingu Bang fell suddenly, but was bounced away by these twisting and turning nooses.

"Eh? What a strange power!"

Sun Wukong frowned slightly, leaped away, turned his head to look at Tang Ku, and said, "Master, do you know what this is?"

"The power of lightning. People who get electrocuted are either knocked away by high-voltage electricity or sucked in by alternating current, eventually being electrocuted into a lump of charcoal!"

Tang Ku laughed.

"Then why couldn't he electrocute me when I used the Ruyi Jingu Bang?"

Sun Wukong asked, puzzled.

"It's likely because the Ruyi Jingu Bang in your hand is no longer the ordinary Magical Artifact it once was, but a weapon imbued with countless types of power. Its essence is vastly different from ordinary metal, so it's normal that it doesn't conduct electricity!"

Tang Ku said.

"Hmm, that's good!"

Sun Wukong smacked his lips, turned around, and rushed toward Franklin again. Franklin saw that the monkey was not injured, only that his fur was a bit curled and charred. He couldn't help but feel a surge of anxiety in his heart. His body turned into lightning again, fleeing toward the west, but unexpectedly, a golden light suddenly descended from the sky, directly dispersing the lightning and intercepting him.

"You cannot reach the speed of lightning, and I cannot reach the speed of light. Weighing the two, our speeds are about the same, so I can easily block you!"

Shi Jingmo's voice appeared beside him, making his heart tremble involuntarily, but he heard Shi Jingmo continue, "So, stop playing those little tricks. Fight calmly here; regardless of winning or losing, you can still keep some dignity!"

Franklin turned his head to look at Tang Ku: "Is there really no room for maneuver at all?"

"As long as you can survive and return from under my eldest Disciple's staff, I will let you go!"

Tang Ku sneered.

"Fine, then I will give it my all today!"

The noose in his hand instantly straightened, just like hair standing up from static electricity. Immediately after, the power of lightning erupted suddenly, roaming along the noose. In an instant, the surface of the noose became incomparably smooth, having transformed into a sharp weapon with a tip, like a long spear held horizontally in front of Franklin's chest.

"Thunder... Metallurgy!"

Franklin looked at the monkey in front of him and said disdainfully, "You are only at the Early Stage of the Power Law, while I am already a powerhouse at the Late Stage of the Lightning Law... With this strike, I can take your life!"

"Thunder... Piercing!"

Swish!

A bright blue light flashed past everyone's eyes... No, or perhaps everyone couldn't even catch that light at all; it was just an afterimage left by the light.

Sun Wukong's pupils couldn't help but shrink. He instinctively felt danger, but before he could discover exactly where the danger was coming from, that strong sense of crisis had completely disappeared.

"Wait..."

He suddenly looked down and saw that there was actually a transparent hole in the position of his heart, and there were even charred edges around the hole...

"Too fast, so fast that I couldn't see it at all... How could this happen?"

Sun Wukong frowned tightly, looked at the wound on his chest, and suddenly smacked his lips and smiled: "Hmm, this move is indeed not bad. If it were my past body, I probably would have been killed!"

Franklin sneered: "Using the Lightning Law itself as a driving force to instantly boost the weapon in hand to sub-light speed... No one can dodge this shot... Hmm, perhaps there is one, but I wouldn't use this move against that person, because that would simply be courting death!"

"It's similar to the principle of a railgun... In other words, you comprehended the Law based on the electromagnetic force among the four fundamental forces in the Universe, rather than simply comprehending lightning to achieve the power of the Law!"

Tang Ku frowned slightly, then said helplessly, "It's a pity that the threshold for this kind of Law is too high and too difficult to Master; it belongs to the more advanced category of high-end Laws... and you haven't mastered it to the extreme at all!"
