Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#2301 - Master and apprentice runaway state

Killing Kou Shanren did not quell the anger of Tang Seng and his disciples; they remained in a state of fury.

Since these ignorant servants had surrounded them, Tang Seng and his group would not be polite. Zhu Bajie took the lead, shouting:

"Get out of the way, or don't blame this old pig's rake for being merciless!"

However, the servants didn't seem afraid of Zhu Bajie's threat. Instead, they charged at him with weapons and wooden sticks.

"If you're seeking death, then let the killing begin."

Zhu Bajie swung his rake, striking the servants.

These servants were mere mortals and no match for Zhu Bajie. With each swing of the rake, a dozen servants were sent flying.

Zhu Bajie displayed his divine power, but more and more servants gathered, seemingly numbering over a hundred.

"Let's attack together and break through!"

Tang Seng said to Sun Wukong and Sha Seng, as he swung his nine-ringed锡杖 and joined the battle.

Sun Wukong and Sha Seng, each wielding their weapons, charged into the crowd of servants.

With the four of them attacking together, killing these mortal servants was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

However, the Kou mansion's servants appeared fearless, fiercely attacking Tang Seng and his companions.

Moreover, more and more people were gathering from outside, not just Kou mansion's servants, but even commoners joined in.

"This old pig thinks this Diling County is full of troublemakers, stubborn and unyielding fools. Killing them for salvation is fine!"

"Since we've started killing, let's have a good slaughter!"

"Amitabha, let the killing begin."

Seeing the increasing number of people, Tang Seng and the others initially tried to restrain themselves, showing mercy since the opponents were mortals.

But now there were too many, and they had to use their full strength. Holding back would make it difficult to break out of the Kou mansion.

Zhu Bajie continued to be the vanguard. His rake danced up and down, and it's estimated that at least a hundred Kou mansion's servants died by his hand.

Sun Wukong and Sha Seng were on the left and right flanks. Under the power of the Golden-Hooped Rod and the Water-Grinding Staff, they killed and wounded over a hundred people.

Although Tang Seng was at the rear, he was not lagging behind. His nine-ringed錫杖 also claimed dozens of lives.

The entire Kou mansion was now like a Shura field, a Yama's palace, with corpses everywhere and blood and flesh flying, making people tremble with fear.

However, the Kou mansion's servants and the participating commoners seemed extraordinary, showing no fear of this bloody and cruel scene.

Instead, they were as fierce as Yaksha demons, surrounding Tang Seng and his companions, fighting to the death without retreating.

And more and more people joined in, from hundreds to thousands to several thousands, now difficult to count.

"Master, something's not right."

"Yes, if these Kou mansion's servants are vicious, why are these commoners so fierce?"

"They are fearless, as if possessed by demons, which is truly puzzling."

Sun Wukong and the others had seen a lot on their journey west, but they had never seen such fierce mortals.

"I think there's something strange here. And have you noticed that our cultivation seems to be depleting exceptionally fast, and we feel a suppressive force?"

Tang Seng said to Sun Wukong and his companions.

In fact, Sun Wukong and the others had already felt it. From the moment they killed Kou Shanren and started the slaughter,

they clearly felt the existence of a suppressive force. Under the effect of this force, the power of their attacks was greatly reduced, and their cultivation consumption was more than ten times higher than usual.

Tang Seng and the others had already fought their way out of the main hall and into the courtyard of the Kou mansion.

The four of them hurriedly turned around and saw a person standing at the entrance of the main hall, laughing loudly, looking at them with a mocking gaze.

"Kou Hong! How is he not dead!"

Tang Seng and the others were greatly surprised because that person was Kou Shanren.

Just now, Kou Shanren was killed by Tang Seng, his head smashed to pieces, which the four of them saw clearly.

But now, Kou Shanren was not only unharmed but also full of energy, with a ruddy complexion, as if nothing had happened.

"Master, not only is Kou Shanren not dead, but look at those servants and commoners, they are not dead either."

Sun Wukong said to Tang Seng and his companions at this time.

The four of them had fought and killed so many, and it's estimated that at least eight hundred to a thousand servants and commoners had died by their hands.

If there were so many corpses, they would probably be all over the Kou mansion's courtyard, but now there were only a hundred or so corpses on the ground.

Moreover, as Tang Seng and the others looked around, they saw one guy, whose head had been separated from his body, slowly standing up.

His head automatically returned to his body, piecing together as perfectly as if by magic.

After that guy revived, he joined the battlefield again.

"No wonder these people are fearless and can't be killed completely. It turns out they can all revive."

"These are definitely not ordinary mortals, but why do they have the ability to revive?"

"Although we don't know the reason, this must be the West's scheme."

Tang Seng and the others knew that all of this must have been arranged by the West, but this time the West had made a grand move.

Perhaps all the commoners and mortals in the entire Diling County were in this situation.

Now they could also explain why those mortals deeply believed in Kou Shanren and threatened and ridiculed Tang Seng and his group.

Because they, like Kou Shanren, were part of the West's scheme, and no matter what Tang Seng and the others said, they couldn't change their minds.

"Tang Monk, don't resist anymore. The more you use your cultivation and magic power, the greater the suppressive force you will receive.

Soon your cultivation will be exhausted. By then, won't you obediently fall into my, Kou's, hands?

You are just making things difficult for yourselves, wasting your time in vain."

Kou Shanren had a smug look on his face. Seeing that appearance, Sun Wukong and the others were furious.

"This old Sun will kill you once more first."

As Sun Wukong spoke, he instantly flashed to Kou Shanren's side.

He swung the Golden-Hooped Rod and struck Kou Shanren with all his might.

The power of this strike was not small, directly turning Kou Shanren's body into a meat pie, and driving it into the ground, mixing with the soil and stones, turning it into minced meat.

"I'll let you revive!"

Even so, Sun Wukong still didn't stop, using the Golden-Hooped Rod to continuously strike Kou Shanren's minced meat-like body.

After a round of cudgel blows, Kou Shanren's flesh and blood were knocked into the ground, and it could be said that he was dismembered and buried alive by Sun Wukong.

"If you have the ability, revive for me one more time."

Sun Wukong looked at Kou Shanren, who didn't even leave any meat crumbs behind, and couldn't help but laugh.
