Chapter 346 - 347 Kill Them All
Sun Wukong furrowed his brow, swung up his Jingu Bang, and smashed it down with the force that could split mountains and crack rocks. However, the blow merely made the net tremble and then dissipated his strength, leaving Sun Wukong scrambling to withdraw the Jingu Bang, only to find it stuck to the net.
"What sort of devilish thing is this that can even stick to my Jingu Bang?" Sun Wukong frowned and hastily pulled at it.
Just then, from within the courtyard, a white celestial rope suddenly extended, sweeping rapidly towards Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong knew the power of this thing; if it were to entangle him, escape would likely be difficult. He pulled with all his might and finally freed the Jingu Bang. By then, the rope had already flown in front of him.
Sun Wukong quickly took to the air, the rope chasing after him, trailing behind his rear end. It shot out several hundred feet before it drooped down, powerless.
Sun Wukong breathed a sigh of relief and dared not act rashly again. Hiding at a distance, he thought to himself, "Let me find someone to ask about the details of this demon. Then I’ll devise a plan to subdue it." Thinking this, he started chanting an incantation.
Inside the Land Temple, the Old Land Deity heard Sun Wukong’s incantation and started pacing anxiously.
"Old fellow, why are you pacing around? Are you having a seizure?" asked the Land Granny.
Shivering, the Land Deity said, "You don’t understand. The Great Sage Equalling Heaven has come, and I failed to greet him. Now he’s chanting an incantation to summon me!"
"You don’t understand, this Monkey Sun’s cudgel is heavy. If he strikes without care, where would I, an old soul, still have my life?" said the Land Deity.
"You’re such a coward," scolded the Land Granny. "Seeing how old you are, why would he strike you?"
