Me and countless me.

Chapter 498 Li Ke's Strategy - First Update Today (4kbps)
Without hesitation, Sun Wukong swung his golden cudgel after pulling it out. Not only that, but Li Ke could see very clearly that the cudgel was covered in golden light. In the instant Sun Wukong swung it, the golden cudgel instantly grew larger. The part he held in his hand was still the original size, but the other end of the cudgel became larger than a mountain!
The violent kinetic energy tore through the air, creating a hole in the atmosphere and revealing a sky full of stars.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Ke immediately stretched out his palm and captured all living beings within a thousand miles to prevent Sun Wukong from committing further killings!
Upon seeing Li Ke use the same supernatural power that had killed him five hundred years ago, Sun Wukong no longer held back and vowed to display his own supernatural powers in front of Yang Jian and Nezha.

What a magnificent golden cudgel! In an instant, it multiplied in size, carrying the force of Mount Tai and Mount Sumeru. When it landed, it was as large as the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, and it smashed straight down on the head of the White Bone Demon. At that moment, the earth cracked open, the mountains turned into hills and valleys, and earth fire burst forth.

The monkey was still fierce and unyielding. After the golden headband landed, it suddenly swept across the area. But the White Bone Demon was indeed a formidable opponent. She withstood the two earth-shattering attacks without uttering a sound!
A terrifying aura swept across all directions, tearing the earth apart, leaving the celestial gods bewildered and the celestial officials on duty trembling with fear.

The local city gods and earth gods were terrified, thinking that a demon had descended, and hurriedly went to the Heavenly Court to report.

The ghosts of the underworld were terrified, causing countless ghost kings to riot. Even the divine intervention of Ksitigarbha could not save them, and all the ghost generals from the ten directions sought their help.

This truly terrified even gods and demons, and unrest swept through the three realms!

From then on, the three hundred miles of mountains turned into plains, and the tens of thousands of pounds of soil and rocks smashed out by the Golden Cudgel were sent by Li Ke to be buried in the ravines that were constantly spewing lava.

However, at this moment, Sun Wukong's furious voice finally rang out.

"You demon, take this!"

Li Ke rolled his eyes, released all living things back into the wild, and then came to the smug monkey that was itching, smiling at it.

"Wukong, you're so strong!"

His smile made Sun Wukong scratch his head a little embarrassed, and then he chuckled.

"This is all thanks to Master. If Master hadn't contained my aftershocks and taken care of all these beings, I wouldn't have dared to exert so much force, would I?"

He was somewhat showing off his abilities in front of Nezha and Yang Jian, after all, he had originally agreed to take the Buddhist civil service exam, but now Li Ke was claiming that he would promote Buddhism and create a new Buddhism, while he had also offended the Heavenly Court.

Therefore, it would be incredibly tactless not to seize the opportunity to gain some united front value.

He's currently in a labor camp; it would be foolish of him not to behave well and get replaced.

Then he saw Li Ke reach out and grab his forehead, and then start to exert force!
"You know I'm backing you up, why are you still fighting? What would you do if I didn't back you up?! And what about the people around here who live off the land? What about the situation in the neighboring countries? If a tornado hits here in the future, are you going to clean it up?!"

Li Ke's hands were as hard as steel, gripping the Monkey King so tightly that his head ached terribly and his eyes bulged outwards. Because he couldn't break free, the Monkey King could only beg for mercy repeatedly.

"Master! I was wrong! Master, please don't use that headband anymore!! Ah!!"

Although it wasn't unbearable pain, Wukong knew from Li Ke's gloomy expression that his master was truly angry this time, so he cried and howled wildly as if he were about to die!
As for saving face or anything like that, he had no face in front of his master! But his eyes were fixed on Yang Jian and Nezha, trying to see if the two of them were smiling.

but……

He only saw two figures with their backs to them, trembling constantly.

However, because of Sun Wukong's interruption, Li Ke's original plan of a rapid journey was no longer feasible. He had originally planned to capture the Yellow Wind Great Sage, shave his flesh to make kebabs for Nezha, give the bones to Xiaotian Dog for a snack, use the hide to make some new clothes for Wukong, and throw the magic weapon to Yang Jian so he could use it as a flying disc to bury dog ​​poop, so that people would not complain about Xiaotian Dog defecating everywhere again.

As a result of the changes in the topography of more than a dozen countries, he had to act as a mediator to ensure that these countries would not suffer horrific wars and countless tragedies due to geopolitical factors.

After all, this was something his disciple had done, and as a monk, he was compassionate and couldn't bear to see war break out in the world again.

So he summoned the Tang army.

Then, the kings of these countries witnessed a white-robed monk, wielding a staff, charging towards them while crushing their elite troops:

"Wang Xuance, you piece of trash! You're already defeated?! Left-wing soldiers, charge with me! Today, we'll make sure you and I conquer five kingdoms once more!"

Taking the city was quick, but the subsequent tasks of preaching, pacifying the people, and showcasing the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty to make them want to become Tang citizens were more complicated. Therefore, Li Ke harbored deep resentment.

Originally, these tasks weren't his responsibility, but rather the Heavenly Khan's. Now, Sun Wukong, in order to vent his anger and prove his importance, has created a huge mess, and he's locked up here and can't move.

If it weren't for someone coming to replace him the month after next, he would definitely whip Sun Wukong three times a day.

Moreover, there is one more crucial thing.

"Have you found out what kind of monster they were fighting, which caused such a commotion?"

The Great Celestial Venerable looked at Venus and asked with some concern.

This sinister plan of Jin Chanzi was quite risky, which made him always ready to fight against Buddhist forces disguised as various demons. So the moment Sun Wukong swung his staff, he felt that it must be a big shot from the Buddhist world personally taking action.

Otherwise, Sun Wukong would never have gone all out.

However, Venus's expression was quite strange.

"Your Majesty, it is a demon called Lady White Bone!"

The Great Celestial Venerable paused for a moment, then began to ponder.

"Lady White Bone? Is it Guanyin? No, isn't Guanyin an inside agent? Besides, there are quite a few people in Buddhism connected to Lady White Bone... But we can't rule out the possibility that Guanyin has betrayed us..."

After much deliberation, he couldn't help but start calculating, but he only managed to figure out that Lady White Bone was a spirit made of bones. Although she had the shadow of great supernatural powers, she did not possess great magical power. Therefore, the Great Celestial Venerable had only one thought at the moment.

"The secrets of heaven have been obscured by a powerful being! Something big is happening here! Something absolutely big! And it's no ordinary big deal!"

So, refusing to believe that Lady White Bone was just a minor demon, he directly contacted Li Ke. After learning the truth, he didn't say anything to the monkey, but he did make a few sarcastic remarks to Li Ke, which led to Li Ke contacting him again and beating the monkey. Therefore, when he returned to the Black Mist Space that night, he couldn't help but complain to the other Li Ke.

"This monkey is getting too cocky! He needs a good talking-to!"

"Oh dear, there's nothing we can do about it. After all, this is the only chance the monkey has left to get ashore. He knows how many opportunities he's wasted before, and now that you've given him another chance, he'll naturally seize it at all costs and tell the Great Celestial Venerable that he can talk and love the Heavenly Court!"

"I think the most crucial thing is that Monkey is a bit desperate. He just got out of prison and got a chance to reform through labor. Then he found out that the person who originally arranged for him to join the gang was planning to start a new gang. Moreover, this person also brought in two top henchmen from another big gang. It's normal for him to feel a sense of crisis. It's because you were too impatient."

"Am I the only one who thinks Lady White Bone is actually quite beautiful?"

Li Ke, amidst the bustling chatter, began a heated discussion about Journey to the West, and couldn't help but analyze the allusions in each chapter. Then came comments like, "Isn't the Jade Emperor a reference to the Jiajing Emperor?" and "Wow, your world of gods and officials is so glamorous!"

The overall atmosphere was still harmonious, and no one even noticed that Caribbean Li Ke's expression was a little strange and that he had quietly left.

because……

"These guys really love discussing politics and making insinuations, unlike me, who never cared about their political affiliations from the beginning, I just wanted to kill their whole family."

Li Ke sat up in the captain's cabin of the Atedis, which was floating in the sky. He walked out of the cabin and looked at the Atedis, which had been greatly modified and now had a deck, as well as the empty deck. He couldn't help but sigh.

We are really short-staffed.

He really didn't want to hire ordinary sailors with families and jobs. After all, recruiting them required going to major ports, and it would be too dangerous for him to go to those people alone, under pressure from the mystical nobles. Besides, he couldn't afford a large ship with his own savings, let alone anything else.

So Li Ke turned his attention to another group of people.

On the body of a slave.

At this time, the slave trade was not limited to Black people; large numbers of impoverished white people also frequently became slaves or even prisoners.

Prisoners were essentially similar to slaves. Many poor people were sentenced to life imprisonment for the smallest crime, such as spitting on the ground, and were sent to Australia or the New World to do hard labor to earn money. So Li Ke set his sights on those slave ships.

These people do harbor hatred for Great Britain, and most of them would absolutely be willing to fight alongside me against those mystical nobles. Moreover, as long as a place can be found where their families can be properly settled, they will also be loyal.

So, over the past few days, Li Ke has been preparing various materials for his journey to Treasure Island while simultaneously inquiring about suitable slave ships at this port, and has made thorough preparations.

Now is the time to take action.

After confirming that there were no ships around his target, Li Ke walked to the edge of the deck of the Atdis. Looking down at the slave ship through the clouds, Li Ke, carrying two longswords and several throwing axes, put on his hood, then spread his arms and fell straight down!

The clouds swept rapidly around him, the whistling air sounded like the cry of an eagle, and the cold air dampened his hood, but could not harm his face. Although the cold moisture froze on his body, the spark in his eyes could not be obscured.

The instant he broke through the clouds, the moisture clinging to Li Ke and the surrounding clouds instantly transformed into countless raindrops, which fell precisely down onto the slave ship below, dragging his body and preventing him from crashing directly into the ship.

This is the ability he previously demonstrated to manipulate water, and in his hands, it has become an all-powerful tool!
Localized torrential rain poured down, pounding on the slave ship. The British soldier on night watch looked at the downpour falling on the deck and was about to complain about having to clean the deck again tomorrow when he noticed that there were no waves in the surrounding sea. So he subconsciously looked at the hull and saw a hooded figure suddenly appear in the rain.

"who!"

The soldier instinctively raised his gun and aimed at the suddenly appearing figure, but in just an instant, he saw the tall figure rush in front of him and extend his palm!
In an instant, his head was slammed against the wall, and he passed out.

The commotion naturally attracted the attention of other soldiers. The soldiers on the watchtower and the other soldiers on night watch quickly raised their guns, aimed at Li Ke, and pulled the triggers.

The flames propelled the lead bullets toward Li Ke. Li Ke merely glanced at them before drawing his long sword and slashing it, shattering all the lead bullets in mid-air!

But looking at the nicks in the longsword, he felt a pang of heartache.

However, he didn't panic. He grabbed the rope next to him and swung it like a whip. A soldier who was about to draw his sword didn't have time to make any move before the rope, which was as nimble as a snake, tied his ankle. Then Li Ke pulled him sharply, and his body flew up and was slammed into several other soldiers by Li Ke!

They all crashed into the wooden barrel together, and the sound of breaking and screams immediately woke up more soldiers. So when Li Ke knocked out the remaining soldiers on the slave ship, countless footsteps rushed out from the cabin.

He didn't care about the soldiers, but a strange feeling suddenly enveloped his heart. He almost uncontrollably recalled how he was forced by those nobles, and how his brothers and sisters died one by one for various 'justifications'. A heartfelt fear arose in his heart, and for a moment, his strength weakened.

but--

A sinister smile appeared on Li Ke's face. He turned around and saw a man who was clearly a nobleman, holding an exquisite and ancient longsword and looking at him warily!
He could clearly feel that the fear in his heart was caused by that long knife!

The other party is a nobleman who has mastered the mystical arts!

"You really do exist! You scum!"

His holy name and covenant burned ever brighter, and the blazing divinity granted him new power.

He looked at the nobleman before him, but countless phantom images appeared before his eyes.

The image of the other person learning to ride on the back of a servant as a child, the image of cutting the wages of the factory workers under his command while chatting and laughing, the image of taking away all the children of a woman by means of law and contract, and all sorts of fragments of experiences that have made this world a bad place!
One by one, these events unfolded before Li Ke, letting him know that his killing intent was not unfounded, and that the blood that was about to flow was not bright red, but filthy blood!

Li Ke swung his bloodless longsword to wipe away the bloodstains, then slightly bent his knees and made a thrusting motion, but he still couldn't help but speak.

"get ready--"

Go to hell!
