After all, the twelve earthly branches are not a joke.
The Journey to the West also set its sights on Fu Long. One of them held the Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff), and the other held the Nine-Toothed Rake. It seemed like a destiny's arrangement.
Fu Long also felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including regret and reflection).
Throughout the entire Journey to the West, there is no explicit statement that Pigsy is stronger than Monkey. It is likely that when writing Journey to the West, Wu Changshuo (the author of the novel) did not consider this issue.
With modern interpretations, more and more people believe that Pigsy's fighting power is actually far greater than that of the Monkey King; he's just lazy.
Of course, the "second brother" in Fu Long's hands wasn't actually the second brother of the pig; it was just something drawn by the slot machine.
The Journey to the West we see today cannot represent the monkey, but the sense of destiny it evokes is overwhelming.
"I'm going to beat you up badly and break your legs."
"If you have the ability, come up and give it a try." Fu Long also focused his gaze on Journey to the West.
Neither of them spoke this time, but instead they were both searching for each other's weaknesses.
Suddenly, Xiyou moved first, very fast, and attacked from the side, swinging his Ruyi Cudgel to attack Fu Long's flank.
However, coming from that position, the distance of the Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff) shouldn't be too far.
However, Fu Long dared not be careless. Seeing the opponent's attack, Fu Long used his nine-toothed rake to block it.
Sure enough, when the Ruyi Cudgel was about to strike, it suddenly lengthened considerably, and swung right in front of Fu Long.
When their weapons clashed, Fu Long felt that his opponent was truly strong and powerful. The enormous impact caused Fu Long to take five or six steps to the side before stopping.
"Not bad strength." Xiyou grinned, then his figure flashed and he nimbly slipped to the other side of Fulong.
It moves very fast, and its body is as nimble as a monkey, making it very difficult to catch.
Fu Long used his keen hearing to listen to the constantly moving sounds of the Journey to the West.
Behind him, the Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff) from Journey to the West pointed forward, growing larger as it rapidly struck Fu Long.
Fu Long understood the other party's intention, but pretended not to know it and continued to observe his surroundings.
"Success." Xiyou grinned, his Ruyi Jingu Bang already reaching in front of Fu Long. He couldn't defend against it now, could he?
However, with a clang, Xiyou was stunned for a moment. Could it be like this?
Nine skulls appeared in front of Fu Long, successfully blocking the attack.
Moreover, the nine skulls formed a shield, which perfectly blocked the Journey to the West's view.
During this process, Fu Long also quickly jumped out from the side of the nine-headed skull, and the nine-toothed rake in his hand flew out and hit Xi You.
"Powerful bombardment."
Xi You had no choice but to shrink his Ruyi Jingu Bang and focus all his efforts on defending against the powerful attack of the Nine-Toothed Rake.
Boom! The rake and the Ruyi Jingu Bang collided, and Xiyou was sent flying backward.
This time it was his carelessness; he thought he had it in the bag, but unexpectedly, the opponent launched a counterattack.
His defense was a bit weak; if it weren't for his enhanced physique, he might have been knocked down in one blow.
Fortunately, at least we held on.
The Nine-Toothed Rake flew back into Fu Long's hand. Fu Long looked at Xi You and chuckled.
When this sound reached Xiyou's ears, he immediately got angry. Good heavens, are you looking down on me?
Alright, then I'll show you.
"I must say, your strength has exceeded my expectations, but with such strength, it is impossible for you to defeat me."
Xiyou hoisted the Ruyi Cudgel onto his shoulder, put his hands together, and said, "After all, your abilities will soon be sealed by me."
As he spoke, three little monkeys appeared beside Journey to the West.
Do not listen to, do not look at, and do not speak of the beast.
Botobai and the others, who were gathered at the four corners, also stared intently at the three beasts from the Journey to the West.
Once attacked, the corresponding function will disappear. After all, a person is a whole, and the loss of any ability will affect the performance of their mental power.
Fu Long grinned and said, "I have a Nian Beast too."
Behind Fu Long, a giant celestial hound appeared.
The Celestial Dog also saw the three monkeys opposite, and drool dripped from the corner of its mouth.
The three monkeys were also startled when they saw the Celestial Dog.
The strength of the spirit beasts can also be judged from each other, and the strength of the Howling Celestial Dog is clearly among the top of the spirit beasts.
Xi You raised an eyebrow, knowing in his heart that this was troublesome. Did he have to use his ultimate move?
No, Xiyou himself understood his situation. If he used his ultimate move now, there would be problems when he really wanted to rescue Byant.
However, if Fu Long really wins against him, then Shen's position will also change, and then will he still have a chance to make a move?
The Journey to the West was also caught in deep thought; this was a big problem.
Chapter 285 The attempt to lure the enemy failed.
"Ow!"
"Squeak!"
Three monkeys and one dog got into a fight.
Fu Long and Xi You exchanged two more blows, neither able to gain the upper hand.
Fu Long did not use his full strength, because the opponent, Xi You, was doing the same.
In this way, Fu Long, who relied on the nine-headed skull for defense and the nine-toothed rake for offense, actually managed to fight Journey to the West to a standstill.
Fu Long himself felt it was a bit outrageous. Good heavens, this was the second and third brothers teaming up to deal with Monkey King.
But it really does work; if this were in the water, Monkey King would probably have panicked long ago.
The same should apply to Journey to the West, since his fighting prowess might not be fully unleashed in the water.
But now is really not the right time to fight in the Dragon Palace, there are outsiders watching.
Fu Long took a deep breath. It seemed that Journey to the West was dragging out the pace of the battle.
Although the battle was evenly matched, Xiyou discovered Fulong's weakness: insufficient spiritual energy.
"If this continues, you're bound to lose. Even though we both use the same spirit beast, your energy expenditure is much greater than mine."
Fu Long just smiled and didn't respond. It's true that Fu Long's mental energy consumption is greater than yours, but there's something Xi You doesn't know: Fu Long has nectar in his hand.
Of course, this shouldn't be said aloud, otherwise it won't work.
If it were truly a one-on-one fight, without the use of super-tonifying medicines like Ganlu, Fu Long would really be no match for Xi You. But if he couldn't win and wanted to run away, Xi You wouldn't be able to do anything to Fu Long.
Fu Long has grown to the point where he can rival the Twelve Branches.
Of course, if the usage scenario is different, then it's a different story.
However, given the current limitations, it's not impossible for Fu Long to win.
Journey to the West is being delayed, and so is Fu Long.
If the battle truly goes to the very end, Journey to the West will inevitably lose.
Clearly, although Xiyou was unruly, he was also very intelligent.
"You still have a backup plan."
"If I fight you without even preparing a backup plan, I'll die without even knowing how I died. Twelve of them, I don't think I'm strong enough to win without using any trump cards."
Fu Long and Xi You directly blocked each other's weapons and talked face to face.
The constant depletion of their mental energy left both of them slightly out of breath.
The Journey to the West was somewhat better.
Taking a few more steps back, the battle between the Nen Beasts on the other side had reached the corner of the arena.
At that moment, Potobbai also made his move. With a simple gesture, his dragon claw appeared and sent several Nen Beasts back to the center.
It's not much different from teleportation.
Xi You and Fu Long were both stunned. They hadn't felt how the other's mental power was activated during that delivery.
Very strong. Potobá is indeed the guy whose strength and reputation are closest to Chairman Netero's. He is ridiculously strong.
Xiyou sensed something was wrong. He had just instructed his Nianhou to specifically guide Xiaotianquan over there, just to see what the people surrounding the four corners meant.
Now it seems they might be planning something detrimental to themselves.
They've discovered my identity, Xiyou realized immediately.
It would be terrible if my identity as Billand's contact were discovered.
"I have no choice but to use my ultimate move." Xiyou took a deep breath. There were still three spirit beasts left to use, and he had to use them at the most crucial moment.
Fu Long then stepped back a few steps, put away his nine-toothed rake, and with a wave of his hand, a brocade cassock appeared in his hand.
I have a feeling that if I don't use the kasaya, something will go wrong. If I get hit by that monkey, I might really be unable to use my telekinesis.
If you get beaten up by the Journey to the West, who will you complain to?
Xi You also took a few steps back, not daring to rush forward.
He had already experienced Fu Long's strength firsthand; he was indeed very powerful. So, his sudden change of tactics must mean he had some special skill, and he dared not gamble on it.
Besides, there are four other members of the Zodiac who are eyeing him covetously; it would be difficult for him to escape.
If he couldn't defeat Fu Long, Xi You knew he was doomed to be captured.
But if we defeat Fu Long and take him hostage, there might still be a sliver of hope.
Since that's the case, let's do it.
Thinking of this, three monkeys appeared again beside Xiyou.
"Just as I thought," Potobby sighed inwardly.
If Fu Long hadn't reminded me, I would never have thought of the other three monkeys; this was going to cause trouble.
