Chapter 162: A Trip to the Immortal-Slaying Platform

The Diamond Snare seemed to have a spirit; seeing that the Liu Er Mihou had not fallen with one strike, it fiercely followed up with another.

This time, the Liu Er Mihou didn't even have time to let out a scream before he fell straight down, unconscious.

The Diamond Snare, having succeeded in one strike, transformed into a streak of white light and instantly disappeared.

The Erlang God, holding his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear, had been preparing to strike the Liu Er Mihou, but seeing this situation, he was stunned for a moment.

He had rarely found such an evenly matched opponent, and he hadn't expected someone to intervene just when the fight was getting enjoyable, leaving him without a satisfying conclusion.

He glanced at the unconscious Liu Er Mihou, then at the sky, which was now empty, and the divine eye on his forehead flickered with divine light.

He vaguely guessed what had happened, sighed, and had the Meishan brothers, who were watching the battle from the side, bring the Immortal-Binding Rope to tie up the fallen Liu Er Mihou.

The Liu Er Mihou regained consciousness not long after being tied up.

He looked at the Erlang God with a face full of anger and cursed: "I have heard that the True Lord of Pure Origin and Wonderful Dao is an upright gentleman; I never expected you to be a petty person who attacks from the shadows."

Yang Jian looked at the mocking Liu Er Mihou, not angered, and merely said indifferently: "That magic treasure that attacked and injured you is not mine, and I did not know that someone was attacking from the shadows."

Having said this, he said to the Meishan brothers: "Take him, we are leaving!"

Yang Jian took the captured Liu Er Mihou and returned to the Heavenly Court.

Above the Lingxiao Precious Hall, the Jade Emperor looked at the Liu Er Mihou tied up with the Immortal-Binding Rope, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Good! Good! Good!" He said the word "good" three times, and praised Yang Jian below: "Yang Jian, this time you captured the demon monkey, rendering a great service to the Heavenly Court; my heart is greatly comforted! Whatever reward you want, just say it!"

Yang Jian stood below the hall, expressionless, and merely bowed indifferently: "This is Yang Jian's duty; I dare not ask for a reward. The demon monkey has been captured, so Yang Jian will take his leave."

Having said this, he did not wait for the Jade Emperor to reply and turned to walk out of the hall.

He had never had any favor for the Jade Emperor in his heart.

The sneak attack by the Diamond Snare just now made him feel even more dissatisfied.

The Jade Emperor looked at Yang Jian's departing back, his face sinking slightly, but he soon returned to a smile.

He did not care about Yang Jian's attitude, as long as the plan could proceed smoothly.

"Sun Wukong, I have never treated you poorly; not only did I restore you to your official position, but I also held the Peace-in-Heaven Assembly for you.

Yet you spoke wildly at the grand assembly, caused havoc at the Yaochi grand assembly, stole the Old Lord's immortal elixirs, and fled back to the lower realm; do you know your crime?"

The Jade Emperor said to Sun Wukong, who was tied up with the Immortal-Binding Rope.

"What crime does Old Sun have!" The Liu Er Mihou looked defiant.

"You unruly monkey, you do not repent; someone!" The Jade Emperor shouted angrily at the immortals below the hall: "This demon monkey Sun Wukong, defying heavenly rules, causing havoc at Yaochi, and stealing the Old Lord's immortal elixirs, is guilty of heinous crimes, unforgivable! Take him to the Immortal-Slaying Platform, slay his primordial spirit, destroy his true form, and use him as a warning to others!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" the immortals echoed in unison.

Thus, two heavenly soldiers stepped forward to hoist the Liu Er Mihou, who was standing in the center of the hall, and surrounded by the immortals, they headed in a grand procession toward the Immortal-Slaying Platform.

Heavenly Court, Immortal-Slaying Platform.

Since the establishment of the Heavenly Court, many demons, immortals, and gods had been executed here, causing the entire Immortal-Slaying Platform to be filled with soaring baleful energy.

The Liu Er Mihou was tied to the Immortal-Slaying Platform, his head placed on the execution block by the heavenly soldier responsible for the execution.

He looked at the gods and immortals watching the execution and the heavenly soldier holding a giant axe beside him, not a trace of terror or fear in his eyes.

"Old man Jade Emperor, you actually dared to plot against Old Sun! If you have the ability, let Old Sun go, and we shall fight fair and square!" he shouted loudly.

The official in charge of the execution was the Wuqu Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun; he glanced at the sky, pinched his fingers to calculate, and the time had come.

"The time has come, execute!"

He threw the token in his hand downward.

A heavenly soldier holding a giant axe shouted, exerted all his strength, and swung the axe fiercely at the Liu Er Mihou's neck.

"Clang!"

Sparks flew everywhere.

The giant axe was like striking a piece of divine iron; the blade curled, and not even a white mark was left on the Liu Er Mihou's neck.

"What?" The executing heavenly soldier was shocked.

"Change the blade!" Wuqu Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun shouted upon seeing this.

Hearing the order, another heavenly soldier stepped forward, holding an incredibly sharp Immortal-Slaying Blade, and struck the same spot more than a dozen times.

The result, apart from a series of sparks, was still no injury.

"Use thunder!"

Wuqu Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun frowned and ordered again.

In the sky, the gods of the Thunder Department immediately set up a thunder formation.

"Boom!"

Bolts of heavenly thunder as thick as water buckets descended from the sky, striking fiercely on the Liu Er Mihou's body.

Lightning flashed, and thunder shook the sky.

However, when the thunder light dissipated, the Liu Er Mihou was still jumping around, even grinning and mocking: "Haven't you eaten? Are you tickling Old Sun? Use more strength!"

The blade couldn't cut, the axe couldn't wound, and the thunder couldn't destroy.

This scene caused the watching immortals to discuss it among themselves.

"This demon monkey actually has an indestructible golden body; this is trouble!"

"This monkey is truly a freak!"

The execution official, Wuqu Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun, seeing that all kinds of punishments were ineffective, had no choice but to go to the Lingxiao Precious Hall to report.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the demon monkey's physical body is solid; blades, axes, thunder, and fire cannot harm him. I... am powerless."

After hearing this, the Jade Emperor showed a surprised expression, turned his head to Taishang Laojun on the side, and asked with feigned difficulty: "Old Lord, that demon monkey's magical powers are extraordinary; what should be done?"

Taishang Laojun stroked his beard and said: "Your Majesty, do not worry. That monkey ate my golden elixirs, giving him a body of copper and bones of iron, impervious to water and fire. Ordinary punishments naturally cannot harm him."

"In my opinion, it would be better to hand him over to me, put him into my 'Eight-Trigrams Furnace,' and refine him with civil and martial fire. In forty-nine days, I guarantee he will be refined into fly ash, and incidentally, I will refine out the golden elixirs he stole and ate."

"Good!" The Jade Emperor immediately made the decision. "Let it be as the Old Lord says!"

Thus, the Liu Er Mihou was untied from the Immortal-Slaying Platform and escorted to the Doushu Palace in the Thirty-Third Heaven. ===== CHAPTER 163 =====
