But Sun Wukong didn't pull any punches in this battle.

The fact that we've fought to this point is entirely due to Li Changzhou's own ability... but this is as far as it goes, if the battle continues, there's no need for Sun Wukong to make a move, he will walk towards death on his own.

Li Changzhou took out the "Slaughter Blade".

At the same time, his aura visibly weakened at a rate visible to the naked eye, no longer possessing the majestic demeanor of before.

But the depletion stopped as well.

Looking at the "Slaughter Blade", Sun Wukong's Eyes of Golden Flame narrowed slightly, his heart cautious, yet his mouth carelessly chuckled, "My lad, you dare draw weapons against your grandpa?"

In the distance, a Golden Mountain approached from the clouds, Li Qianxia could not wait and charged out directly, the illusion of the Golden Winged Roc swiftly dissipating behind her.

Followed closely by Feng Hou.

Sun Wukong glanced at them, he had not expected to fight a mere demon to this point. On normal days, even if the battle lasted ten or eighteen years it wouldn't matter, but now was the Flowers Conference, and if Li Changzhou were to be killed before the end of the second trial, the Queen Mother might truly mete out punishment.

Li Changzhou pressed his left hand together and slowly swept over the blade, lips quietly murmuring.

Sun Wukong glanced at the long blade in Li Changzhou's hand, feeling itchiness all over his body, scratching vigorously, he felt an immense headache.

"Ah!!!"

Sun Wukong clutched his head, suddenly screaming in agony as if his whole body was being crushed, his brain beginning to convulse, mana dissipating throughout his body.

"Om Mani Padme Hum..."

Li Changzhou flashed beside Sun Wukong, who had fallen from the clouds, extended his blade, and chopped off his limbs, whittling him down to a human stick.

Sheathing the "Slaughter Blade", still chanting the "Tightening Charm" spell, he initiated teleportation.

Boom!

In front of the luxurious carriage, Li Changzhou grasped Sun Wukong with his left hand and reached into the curtain with his right, grabbing the slender arm of Turquoise Pool, simultaneously stuffing a "Candle" into her hand.

The teleportation vortex opened once again.

◇

Immortal Peach Orchard.

"In this Flowers Conference, the Queen Mother lacks seven rainbow fairies to pick three hundred three-thousand-year-old peaches, and six hundred six-thousand-year-old peaches..."

Boom!

The group of shovelers, water carriers, peach groomers, and cleaners who were reporting to the local deity all turned their heads simultaneously.

All they saw was a shadow enveloping the sky, grabbing several immortals in one swoop and squeezing them into essence, replenishing Li Changzhou's almost depleted body.

—Hurry! (Li Changzhou's gaze towards Turquoise Pool was nearly fierce)

There was no need for his urging, Turquoise Pool had already started to work; she targeted an ancient nine-thousand-year-old peach tree and with a grasp, uprooted the tree entirely.

Li Changzhou's lips did not dare to pause, the chant of the Tightening Charm smoothly continued, and the portal opened up beside the two.

Bang!!

As if the galaxy was overturned, a hairpin larger than a mountain aimed at the sky toward the two of them.

Out of consideration for the Immortal Peach Orchard, this hairpin, which once streaked across the galaxy, separating the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd, did not fall; it only emitted Heavenly Might.

Even so, it was irresistibly powerful, terminating everything in its path.

"Whoo!" Turquoise Pool blew fiercely onto the "Candle" in her hand.

The flame, the size of a soybean, lit up, its light expanding, keeping Heavenly Might at bay.

[...] Guanyin clenched her delicate hands within her mind.

The candle burned down to a last small section almost instantly.

The ancient peach tree shrank and, protected by mana, fell into Turquoise Pool's hand like a marble.

"Let's go!" Turquoise Pool pocketed the peach tree, and as she was putting away the almost burned-out "Candle," she whispered fiercely, "Reckless!"

She didn't watch the result as she jumped into the teleportation vortex.

The Heavenly Might released by the hairpin wasn't pushed away by the "Favored Concubine - Reckless", it only lingered in place for an instant.

[If we don't leave now we'll be too late! Not even the Flame Butterfly and the Dawn Mirror can save you!] Guanyin shouted.

The Great Heavenly Immortal Technique, the Somersault Cloud, the Seventy-Two Earth Evils... it's too late!

Only two Earth Evil Techniques were observed, both of which were already contained within the Fragrant Leaf Crown, and the sense of impending death descended.

Li Changzhou made a desperate throw, hurling Sun Wukong towards the Heavenly Might. A flash of the galaxy brushed past, sweeping Sun Wukong away. Heavenly Might struck Li Changzhou, who had one foot stepping into the vortex.

Bang!

The Divine Body burst apart, blood spattering the scene.

◇

At the Divine Will Great Wall, within an abandoned mine star, a vortex opened.

"Thud!" Turquoise Pool rolled among the scattered rocks.

Her complexion was deathly pale, all her mana used to light the "Candle", and even so, the flame couldn't withstand the Queen Mother's presence for a few seconds!

She lay on the ground, her chest heaving, breathing in the metallic air of the mine star.

After a while, she looked down, and between her breasts lay the upper half of Li Changzhou's body with the head still attached.

"...Are you dead?" she said weakly.

The head suddenly opened its eyes as if awakened from a grave, then breathed greedily.

"Good... I have experience... I let my head, cough cough, enter the teleportation first." He even sounded somewhat proud of himself.

"I'd rather not have such experience," Turquoise Pool relaxed completely, lying unrestrained among the rubble.

She was so exhausted that she no longer cared about her appearance, she had no mind to worry about whether the Queen Mother would come after them, and whether laying in a pile of stones was comfortable was even less of a concern.

A butterfly flew out from behind Li Changzhou, and with a slight build-up, fanned its dreamlike fiery wings at him.

Whoosh!

The Flames burned without harm but, for Turquoise Pool at that moment, the light was blinding, and she instinctively raised her hand to cover her eyes.

Li Changzhou recovered, got up from her body, and tossed the "Dawn Mirror" to her.

Turquoise Pool glanced at it and found it unusable; it was neither dawn nor dusk at the moment.

Li Changzhou picked her up, the teleportation vortex opened once again, he stepped in, the Flame Butterfly following closely, flying into his hair.

After more than twenty successive teleports, ensuring that they were indeed too far for the Queen Mother to follow, they finally stopped.
