Chapter 631: Fear of Being Dominated by the Monkey Tribe
Chapter 631: Fear of Being Dominated by the Monkey Tribe
An incense stick of time passed quickly, and Ao Wang had already vaguely sensed something unusual. Under normal circumstances, even if it was an Arhat who had just awakened, the light of the golden bell shield should have dimmed after persisting for so long, even if it was not broken.
The relationship between the dragon clan and the Western religion is not distant. A considerable number of the dragon clan have defected to the Western religion and were incorporated into the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.
These dragons who have defected to the Western religions are relatives of the dragons of the four seas several generations ago, and they interact with each other frequently.
In Ao Wang's opinion, the monkey and the eagle should not be able to reach the realm of the Initially Awakened Arhat, because once they enter the realm of Arhat they will be officially accepted into the Western religion, which is the so-called conversion of monsters and the attainment of the right result.
The number of demons who can attain the first level of Arhat is extremely small. It is easy to become a god but difficult to attain the fruit. Otherwise, there would not be three thousand Jietis, but only five hundred Arhats. The ratio of becoming a god to achieving the fruit is six to one.
Among the five hundred Arhats, the vast majority are human, so the proportion of demons who have achieved positive results drops further, almost reaching six hundred to one.
Only by reaching the realm of the first fruit of Arhat and cultivating the Arhat Dharmakaya can one absorb the boundless power of the mandala and realize the boundless Buddhist Dharma in a literal sense.
But since the monkey among the pair of monkey sculpture brothers revealed his identity as a senior member of the Chamber of Commerce, he could not be a disciple of the Western Religion, because neither the Jie Religion nor the Western Religion supports dual membership.
In the eyes of Western religions, those who do not believe in Buddhism are heretics. In the eyes of Jiejiao, believing in Buddhism is idealism that denies science.
However, Western religions are more compatible. Even demons can pretend to be monks and perform magical powers in a similar way. Therefore, it is reasonable for Chamber of Commerce members to be able to perform Western magical powers.
But they are just deceiving the world and stealing names, pretending to be believers and impersonating others. Their faith is absolutely not pious and it is impossible for them to attain enlightenment.
But the incense stick time was about to expire, and although the expressions of the two monsters opposite were solemn, a little entangled and ferocious, there was no sign of their magic power weakening, and it seemed that they could hold on for a very long time.
What Ao Wang didn't know was that Kong Xuan had the national faith of the Maurya Dynasty, whose land area was twice that of the Great Zhou, as a backup power source, and Wen Rui had millions of believers of Emperor Jie Tian as fuel tanks. The faith, vows, and incense power replenished every moment were much more consumed than a mere Mirage Pearl magic weapon.
But Wen Rui and Kong Xuan don't have much time left. If they don't respond, even an idiot would know that they are playing dumb.
Neither of them wants to be in the spotlight, but if neither of them wants to be in the spotlight, they will both be exposed.
After a fierce argument, Wen Rui was finally defeated and the two sides reached an agreement that he would clean up the mess.
There is no way. If it comes to talking and reasoning, a hundred Kong Xuans are no match for Wen Rui, but who can blame Wen Rui for not being able to beat Kong Xuan?
Of course, this negotiation was not a zero-sum game. Kong Xuan exchanged one of his own peacock tail feathers for Wen Rui to expose his strength to resolve the crisis. Overall, no one suffered a loss.
“Damn it, uh…”
Kong Xuan screamed miserably with extremely amateurish acting skills, and the golden bell shield he was maintaining collapsed, and his body collapsed. Before he fell to the ground, Li Lan'er rushed over to hug him with great heartache, protecting him in her arms.
This was also what he and Wen Rui had discussed when they were communicating with each other in their sea of consciousness. If they were to act, they had to do it in full. If they removed the shield lightly or arbitrarily, it would seem too fake.
Seeing Kong Xuan's golden bell break, the Yakshas who surrounded them from afar became restless and were ready to rush forward to capture him.
The water monkey also groaned, and the golden bell shield first cracked, then gradually faded, turned red, and flickered, and finally shattered into light particles that flew everywhere.
"Why bother if you don't accept my toast..." Ao Wang frowned and shook his head slightly, saying slowly: "Don't worry, my dragon clan has ambergris that can heal the soul. As long as you agree to our conditions, we will treat you well."
"Quickly invite these guests into the dragon boat. Remember, do not treat them rudely. If you offend the guests, I will never forgive you!"
The second prince of the dragon clan remained very calm and restrained. He knew too well how powerful the Demon Alliance was. When he visited his third brother, he visited the Jinling Immortal Sect's laboratory and automated factory. He knew very well that if these technologies were used to slay the dragon clan, facing those mass-produced dragon-slaying mechas, a real dragon would be no different from an ant.
The police of the Demon Alliance only master the art of subduing dragons, while the military is researching the actual art of slaying dragons, which is quite un-dragon-like, too vicious and too brutal. No carbon-based creature can withstand that level of attack.
It's a pity that most of the dragons in the four seas have not opened their eyes to see the world, have not figured out their own situation, and still want to talk to the Demon Alliance based on their strength and status. This is simply wishful thinking.
The reason for this is that he has never experienced cruel beatings like those in Heaven and the Western Church, and has only enjoyed equal respect from the Demon Alliance, which is a bit too ungrateful.
The Yakshas who were about to charge forward heard the second prince's threat, so they could only put away their tridents, and slowly and carefully surrounded the enemy. They did not charge forward all at once, for fear that they would not be able to control their strength and cause accidental injuries.
"Hmph, don't listen to that rebellious son! Why are you taking so long?"
Ao Run's angry roar suddenly came from the air: "You are just wasting time. Kill them quickly and eat their bodies. Dispose of them completely and leave no evidence."
"Father, you absolutely cannot do that!" Ao Wang was horrified and said, "With the criminal investigation capabilities of the Demon Alliance police, they can find countless clues with just a little investigation. They have countless surveillance technologies, and no crime can be concealed."
"I only need to summon an erupting underwater volcano here to cover up all traces. The crime scene is gone, so what's the point of their investigation?"
Ao Run sneered and said, "In the future, don't go to Jinling Xianzong to look for that traitor. The more you come into contact with that traitor, the more you will lose the bearing and courage of a dragon. We true dragons rely on our decisiveness in killing to dominate the world. We are not like merchants who bargain, negotiate, bribe, or even beg for peace."
Upon receiving the Dragon King's order, the Yakshas immediately became arrogant and raised their tridents again, grinning as they swarmed over. The leader of the Yakshas shouted, "Hahaha, thank you Dragon King for the reward. I haven't eaten mermaid flesh in years. I heard that eating it can prolong life and keep you young forever."
The Yaksha leader took the lead and rushed forward first. He stabbed Li Lan'er with the trident again. Just when the tip of the trident was less than half an inch close to Li Lan'er's skin, it stopped in mid-air. No matter how hard he tried, it didn't move at all.
A huge ape claw grabbed the trident and clamped it tightly like an iron clamp.
The Yaksha leader then discovered that the skinny monkey, who was only 1.2 meters tall just now, had suddenly expanded his muscles, and his limbs had become longer and thicker, turning into a strong giant ape two meters tall.
"I wanted to get along with you guys as an ordinary demon, but what I got in return was contempt. I won't pretend anymore. I have to show my cards now."
As soon as the giant ape opened its mouth, it revealed its sharp canine teeth, and looked with its sharp and domineering eyes at Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, who had slipped out of the dragon boat at some point and appeared in the air, intending to enjoy the harvest scene up close.
"I am a great demon saint from Hezhou, Xiniu. My real name is Hanuman. I have the ability to move mountains, fill the sea, fly into the sky, and rip the sun and the moon apart with my bare hands."
The giant ape grinned and said, "Have you, the dragon race, forgotten the fear of being dominated by my monkey race? Today, I will let you experience it again, so that you will remember it for a long time! If I don't beat out all seven of your dragon balls, you will be considered to have pooped cleanly!"
Being stared at by those malicious monkey eyes, Ao Run felt a chill. He had no recollection of the fear that the dragon clan had ever felt at the hands of the monkey clan, but now he had already felt it before the other party made a move.
