Chapter 917: He Has Become Weak!

The golden precept monks of the Great Thunder Sound Temple came quickly, and 'left' even faster.

They caused no trouble for Tang Luo, but their appearance meant that the Great Thunder Sound Temple also officially began to intervene in Tang Luo's 'Journey to the West matter'.

Next, all Tang Luo has to face is not just the Heavenly Court.

Compared to the Heavenly Court, the Great Thunder Sound Temple's numbers are far inferior; on Mount Sumeru, the vast majority are ordinary mortal believers and monks.

There aren't that many expendable pawns to throw around at will.

But this also means that the people sent out by the Great Thunder Sound Temple are no longer something the Terracotta Warriors can handle; Tang Luo must personally intervene.

One hundred and eight precept monks are just the beginning.

As expected, not long after, one thousand and eighty precept monks appeared, and Tang Luo simultaneously took on the form of the Glazed Bone Great Hand Seal to face them.

With one swipe, the Buddha's light, Buddha's sound, and the precept monks all vanished like smoke.

It looks no harder than catching and killing one hundred and eight precept monks.

The momentum is myriad!

As the Great Thunder Sound Temple dispatched monks, the Heavenly Court side was no longer just those expendable pawns unworthy of Tang Luo's attention.

In a vast expanse of chaotic void, ahead of the Speedway, a huge black cloud appeared.

The wind howled, the rain poured down, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.

Like an apocalyptic scene, it surged forward quickly, completely engulfing the Speedway.

Around the Speedway, pipe-shaped protections appeared, trembling constantly under the gale and downpour.

They held on for a while, then shattered with a boom.

The rain struck the Terracotta Warriors, emitting a sharp, piercing sound, leaving scratch after scratch on their black armor, while the wind shook them.

Ten thousand Terracotta Warriors instantly linked together, only then stabilizing.

Even so, the ever-increasing damage on them meant that the Warriors' destruction was only a matter of time.

Within the black cloud, four figures flickered in and out of sight.

Lei Gong, Dian Mu, Feng Bo, Yu Shi!

They created a domain wholly their own here, aiming to assassinate Tang Luo.

All four are also individuals listed on the Investiture of the Gods, their strength not weak, not to be underestimated.

But Lei Gong's expression was very uneasy, his eyes darting, he stepped forward then back, his body slightly leaning backward.

He held no magical implement, merely producing thunder by moving his hands.

He gave the impression that he might flee at any moment.

Lei Gong is not Leizhenzi; when Tang Luo appeared in the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Heavenly Court's Lei Gong was not that Leizhenzi either.

He was merely a nameless 'ordinary person'; Tang Luo had never truly met him, nor did he know him.

If he knew him, he would discover that the Lei Gong among this quartet is an old acquaintance from the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The other three are newcomers to the Heavenly Court after the Mountain and Sea Realm's shattering.

Unlike Lei Gong, these three newcomers are extremely eager, their faces flashing with the resolve 'I will personally slay this Heavenly Court enemy'.

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly, Yu Shi, who had inflicted the greatest damage on the Terracotta Warriors, turned his head to look at Lei Gong.

"I am preparing the Thunder Prison Killing Technique." Lei Gong's rolling eyes suddenly stopped, and he spoke in a low voice.

He couldn't tell the three beside him that their current target, Tang Xuanzang, had been a dangerous figure in the Mountain and Sea Realm, no less than the demon monkey Sun Wukong.

Now his strength is even more of a mystery, but the old hands from the Mountain and Sea Realm generally believe he must be stronger than before.

So I've made preparations to run away at any moment!

But can these words be spoken? Certainly not; saying them would not only fail to achieve 'let the Daoist friend die while the poor Daoist lives,' but would also invite punishment from the Heavenly Court.

Yu Shi was unaware of his companion beside him; at this moment his thought was not 'to achieve merit and establish career,' but to flee at the first sign of danger.

Since the other side said they were preparing a big move, he had no doubts and continued to fervently drive the terrifying rainstorm.

Soon, many Terracotta Warriors, under the rain's scouring, fell apart like toys dismantled by a mischievous child.

Because the number of Terracotta Warriors decreased, the formed military formation was immediately affected.

Feng Bo's hair flew wildly, his body also swayed wildly, like some strange dance.

Originally, the gale under Feng Bo's control grew weaker—its sound diminished.

Yet its power increased; the outermost Terracotta Warriors began to weather, turning one by one into heaps of black sand and stone.

Dian Mu activated her magical treasure, lightning split the sky, and the blinding light devoured everything.

As they vanished, another dozen or so turned completely black and collapsed.

Only Lei Gong was still preparing his 'Thunder Prison,' merely using thunder to shake the Terracotta Warriors, making them easier to damage.

The Speedway continually traversed the raging storm, lightning, and thunder, yet could not escape this domain.

At the same time, he also failed to locate Lei Gong and the others.

The Terracotta Warriors could not leave the Speedway to fight; they could only passively endure.

Constant damage was enough to make many strong men weep.

On the Speedway, uneven pits and grooves gradually appeared.

Even the carriage showed faint scratches.

"These things are about to be destroyed!" Dian Mu chuckled lightly; the situation was great—just hold on a bit longer, and the Heavenly Court's enemy would be fully exposed to their storm, lightning, and thunder.

This is their domain, and it will surely weaken the opponent to the greatest extent possible.

The four joining forces, victory is within reach!

Feng Bo and Yu Shi also seemed to see a glimmer of hope, but Lei Gong alone felt increasingly uneasy, his sense of danger growing stronger.

"Are you going to draw your sword?" Tang Luo asked from inside the carriage.

"No." The voice of Zhu Xian Tongzi came from within the Slay Immortal Sword.

"Then, when the time comes, shall we strike the Jade Emperor?" Tang Luo proposed.

"Good."

"Hmm, then that's decided." Tang Luo reached out and grabbed.

In an instant, the wind ceased, the rain condensed, the huge dark clouds were torn in two by the Great Hand Seal; the electric light, like a poisonous dragon, shot out at the moment the clouds were ripped apart and struck the Great Hand Seal.

Electric light flickered on the glazed bone claw, as if it paused for a moment.

The wild wind swept up the rainstorm, surging upward to strike the giant bone claw.

"Ah!"

Lei Gong let out a roar; terrifying thunder surged from his body, and the magic treasure used for "eating" dissolved in the thunder, its power skyrocketing wildly.

The thunder completely turned into a dense black color, forming a huge black cone that smashed toward the Great Hand Seal.

Relying on the previously prepared hidden hand, Lei Gong, Dian Mu, Feng Bo, and Yu Shi simultaneously delivered the fiercest counterattack.

Lei Gong even directly "sacrificed" his own magic treasure, which moved the other three somewhat.

Sure enough, it was a big move that had been brewing for a long time!

However, they didn't know that Lei Gong's purpose was completely different from theirs.

At the moment all the attacks landed on the giant bone claw, Lei Gong instantly turned into a bolt of thunder and fled without hesitation; just getting away was enough.

Before leaving, Lei Gong turned his head and glanced back, almost stopping his escape.

He saw that under their attacks, the giant bone claw shattered and dissipated.

Huh? Tang Xuanzang doesn't seem as strong as the legends say!

Indeed, the rumors are true! He fought a battle with Guanyin Bodhisattva, his injuries were severe, and he never recovered at all.

But his fear of Sun Wukong spread to Tang Luo, and Lei Gong still chose to flee; worst case, if he really found Tang Xuanzang incapable, he could return later.

The facts proved that Lei Gong's choice was correct.

Because after the Great Hand Seal bone claw shattered, before Dian Mu and the others could even celebrate their counterattack, another bone claw Great Hand Seal struck, crushing their joy.

The bone claw completely enveloped Dian Mu, Feng Bo, and Yu Shi; Lei Gong could feel that the three were struggling to resist.

But this resistance was futile; before long, they would die at Tang Xuanzang's hands.

Two moves!

Tang Xuanzang unleashed two moves, breaking through the domain they had painstakingly formed, trapping the three to death while one escaped.

If it weren't for Lei Gong's quick wit, he might also have stayed here.

Very strong, very frightening!

Without a doubt, Tang Xuanzang deserves such a description.

However, Lei Gong inevitably felt a hint of "disdain" in his heart; it turned out that the current Tang Xuanzang was not as terrifying as imagined.

Compared to Lei Gong's highest mental positioning, there is a gap.

He originally thought that when the opponent made a move, they might be able to defeat the enemy in a single strike, and after spending a little effort, they would have no chance to escape at all.

But that wasn't the case; after two moves, Tang Xuanzang could barely restrain Dian Mu and the other two.

Thereafter, a fierce battle was impossible, but it also wasn't a one‑move victory.

Based on that performance, Tang Xuanzang's current strength is roughly on par with the Manifest Sage True Lord!

No need to worry!

With that mindset, a doorway appeared before Lei Gong, opposite which lay the Southern Heaven Gate.

Upon entering the Southern Heaven Gate, the doorway shut immediately.

After Tang Luo's previous sneak attack, the Heavenly Court made changes; it will no longer happen that people can rush into the Heavenly Court through a doorway, causing an embarrassing blunder.

"He got away." Tang Luo withdrew his gaze and muttered softly.

Lei Gong didn't know that, after he disappeared, Dian Mu and the other two seemed still able to resist for a while, yet they died without resistance beneath the Great Hand Seal.

However, the Great Hand Seal in the bone‑claw state that killed them also looked scarred and ready to shatter at any moment.

Lei Gong being able to leave was naturally because Tang Luo let him go.

As for the reason, it was naturally to give the Jade Emperor a surprise, after all Tang Luo is an old angler.

The heavenly soldiers and generals at the Southern Heaven Gate naturally would not obstruct Lei Gong.

Lei Gong proceeded unimpeded, rushing quickly to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall where the Jade Emperor resides.

Along the way, the Investiture of the Gods List fluctuated, revealing the scene of Dian Mu and the other two before their deaths.

A huge bone claw, covered in scars, descended from the sky; it looked shocking, and many deities felt a jolt of fear, imagining themselves dying under that claw.

But some deities, upon reflection, felt that the enemy of the Heavenly Court was nothing more than this.

Even if strong, against the entire Heavenly Court it is not worth mentioning—at least judging by this performance, that is the case.

"He has grown weak!"

"He has grown weak!"

Before Lei Gong and the others departed, they had been granted permission to omit reporting and to meet the Jade Emperor at any time.

Amidst swirling mist and clouds, in a hall brimming with immortal aura, came Lei Gong's delighted voice.

"Your Majesty! Tang Xuanzang is indeed seriously injured, his strength greatly diminished! He is probably only on par with the Manifest Sage True Lord!" Lei Gong, seeing the Jade Emperor's figure in the mist, immediately said.

Good news, victory report!

No sooner had the words fallen than Lei Gong suddenly felt a chill coming from beside him.

He turned his head and saw the New Manifest Sage True Lord standing there, staring at him.

Lei Gong's smile froze instantly.

Likewise, the Manifest Sage True Lord, who also possesses a heavenly eye, had a grim expression.

He weakened; how could I be his equal? This is looking down on me, Yang Sheng?!

"Hah, the True Lord is here too."

Thunder Duke let out a dry laugh.

This can't be blamed on him; in the Lofty Heavens Treasure Hall, one cannot and dare not use divine sense to sweep, the immortals' gaze is no different from that of mortals.

He had just rushed over to report the joy, and for a moment he failed to notice the Manifest Sage True Lord standing by the pillar—quite normal.
