Jecheondaesung started hitting Jogangryeob with the Ruyi Bang.
Each swing of the staff made an exploding sound like lightning.
Jogangryeob reflexively raised his hand to block the staff, but when he tried to defend, Jecheondaesung swung it more fiercely.
Pow! Bang! Bang!
Ruyi Bang’s back-to-back hits continued.
The sound was so powerful that it was almost hard to imagine that it came from the staff.
After the collision of otherworlds, Jecheondaesung hid his name as a royal lineage and organized the Special Luncheon, and laid low, but he was still the great Sun Wukong.
As if letting out what he had endured so far, Jecheondaesung excitedly beat Jogangryeob.
“S-son hyung! Listen to me for a — Ow!”
“Get hit a hundred times.”
Jogangryeob tried to endure and somehow talk through his teeth, but Jecheondaesung didn’t allow it.”
Realizing that it was impossible to defend, Jogangryeob tried to run away.
But Jecheondaesung wouldn’t let him slide.
The monkey smacked the shin of the floundering Jogangryeob a few times, and the latter couldn’t resist but scream.
“Geuhk, Son hyung! How can you do this to me…”
“Shut up.”
Jecheondaesung swung the Ruyi Bang again, not yet done with the hundred hits that he promised.
Everyone watched the scene with bated breath at Jecheondaesung’s overwhelming force.
They were all aware of the two’s identities.
Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie from the Journey to the West.
The difference between their strengths is clear.
Zhu Bajie is inferior to Sun Wukong’s force.
There was a possibility of winning if they fought underwater, but they were above ground and Jogangryeob didn’t have the Sangbosimgeumpa.
The difference in strength was expected, but not this much.
‘They’re both clan heads, they should’ve been on par at least!’
‘Victory is impossible. Jogangryeob can’t beat Jecheondaesung!’
‘He could kill him right away, but is Jecheondaesung going easy on him?’
Agitation spread among Jogangryeob’s forces as they saw him getting beaten.
But no matter how many they were, all of them were soldiers.
If they watch their general being beaten cooly, the command system will be ruined and morale will bottom out.
There was no way that their morale could rise seeing that their commander couldn’t defend himself properly, let alone fight back.
“S-save General Jogangyreob! We have 800 men! We are in the Tiger Clan’s territory, there’s no way Jecheondaesung can exert his full— Geuhk!”
Beeeek!
A staff hit the back of the head of the one speaking.
While Jecheondaesung’s main body was beating Jogagngryeob, one of his alter egos dealt with the army.
“If the leader is getting hit, so do the subordinates. Prepare.”
The alter ego looked at the soldier with resentment.
The provocation was natural as Jogangryeob’s subordinate, but common sense and logic didn’t work in the face of power and violence.
Pow! Pow pow!
When Jecheondaesung’s alter egos each wielded the Ruyi Bang, all 800 soldiers were stunned.
But as if it was slightly weaker than the original held by the main body, it only dealt with two to three soldiers at a time.
In particular, Jecheondaesung smashed the teeth of the soldier who made noise earlier.
Watching this situation, Cheongryong shouted without missing the opportunity.
“All attack! Attacking the fleeing soldiers! Keep your distance from Eungwang High’s boundary and aim for them!”
“Yes!”
Jecheondaesung’s alter egos ran like lightning at the soldiers, together with the people from the Dragon Clan.
All the while Jogangryeob was getting beaten by the Ruyi Bang.
Hwik! Hit! Pow!
Jogangryeob looked at his retreating soldiers.
“You should focus on getting hit, Bajie-ah.”
The gruesome sound caused Jogangryeob to twist his body.
Pow!
The Ruyi Bang hit Jogangryeob’s temple, right next to his eye.
If he were a second late, the staff would’ve flown right into his eyeball.
Jogangryeob trembled.
It has been so long since he was beaten like this.
Not long ago, he was stabbed in the stomach by a royal lineage woman in a red dress.
But getting stabbed a few times and hit a hundred times was different.
‘This is more humiliating and painful than — Wait a second.’
Jogangryeob, who was collecting his energy waves to recover, suddenly felt something strange.
Sun Wukong, who was hitting him from head to toe, was leaving his abdomen alone.
Jogangryeob vocalized the question.
“W-why aren’t you hitting my stomach…”
“I was asked to leave that part alone. Too bad.”
Jecheondaesung looked at Jogangryeob’s healthy belly with regret.
Jogangryeob was appalled
“W-who in the world!”
“I said let’s talk after you get a beating.”
Jogangryeob tried to scream, “It wasn’t you who answered the question, Son hyung!” but…
Pow!
The Ruyi Bang hit his cheek.
Injustice and pain burst inside Jogangryeob.
Considering the evil acts that he committed while participating with the Black Screen so far, he deserved to be beaten, but it still felt unfair.
‘Wait, didn’t he hit me a hundred times already?’
Jogangryeob wanted to ask, but Jecheondaesung seemed to have no intention of stopping anytime soon.
“Was that a hundred times? I might’ve counted wrong, so I’ll put in an extra ten.”
“S-son hyung!”
Pow! Popow!
There’s no way that Jecheondaesung could’ve miscounted, but he still wanted to hit him more.
In the end, Jogangryeob was only able to take the hits.
Not having enough strength to stand, Jogangryeob fell and rolled on the ground.
Over his blindfold, Jecheondaesung looked at Jogangryeob.
The latter shrank unconsciously.
‘…It’s the first time I felt relieved that Son hyung is wearing a blindfold!’
Even if he couldn’t see it, Jogangryeob could guess how cold Jecheondaesung’s eyes were.
Since a long time ago, Jecheondaesung didn’t tolerate any evil deeds.
He knew how coldly Jecheondaesung, who is usually hot-tempered, looked at enemies.
If he’d seen those eyes, Jogangryeob may have shed tears of fear.
“Did you know where Wu Zhiqi was?”
Jecheondaesung repeated the question he asked before he started hitting Jogangryeob.
Jogangryeob wasn’t so stupid as to not know why he was asking that question.
It’s clear that the person he has been serving so far had meddled with Wu Zhiqi.
‘I knew that person was someone who isn’t afraid of the heavens, but I didn’t know they’re that reckless!’
Jogangryeob felt his mind grow distant.
The things that Jogangryeob had planned and done for that person have failed so far.
So this time, he gathered his army to contribute to the attack on the Tiger Clan territory.
However, they were dispersed by Jecheondaesung and the Dragon Clan.
All the corrupt teachers who infiltrated Eungwang High were found and eliminated.
The earth power of Eungwang High couldn’t be broken.
They failed to kill Jeokho, and failed to assassinate the next leaders of conglomerate groups.
There was a huge difference between murder and attempted murder.
It’s the same evil, but every plan has failed so far.
That’s why Jogangryeob thought that he’d be forgiven at least.
However, the story is different now that Wu Zhiqi is involved.
‘Son hyung is never going to forgive me.’
Jogangryeob felt empty.
It was as if the reason why he participated in the plan had disappeared.
At one time, he was authorized to appease Jecheondaesung.
— Have you talked to Jecheondaesung?
— Uhh, ehem. Of course! But Son hyung is… he didn’t seem to want it.
That person was very careful and didn’t try to immediately bring Jecheondaesung into his plan.
So, without revealing the full extent of his ambitions, that person secretly spoke to Jecheondaesung via Jogangryeob.
However, the former had completely different ideas and couldn’t be appeased.
That person said this about the situation.
— It’s going to be hard to appease Jecheondaesung. I think he will try to interfere, so we should let go of the plan. Even if you use your subordinates, one day Jecheondaesung will surely move.
— …
Jogangryeob agreed with the person, but he felt empty in his head.
And so Jogangryeob’s wish didn’t come true.
As if that person read his thoughts, they added soothingly.
— Even if Jecheondaesung doesn’t want it, he will move as I wish when the situation comes. Jecheondaesung didn’t voluntarily make a journey to the West in the first place.
Jogangryeob held onto the person’s words.
That’s why he’s been doing this stupid thing over and over again.
“You said something strange when I asked where Wu Zhiqi was.”
Jecheondaesung remembers Jogangryeob’s words at that time.
“If the providence of this world collapses and chaos strikes, won’t our journey begin again?”
Jogangryeob’s fists curled at the word “journey”
After that journey, Jogangryeob is supposed to ascend as a god.
But he felt empty.
How much he missed that hard, boring trip.
And he promised to journey to the twisted world.
“The crow-masked man told me that the Sangbosimgeumpa saw that your insides were empty. I thought that was the reason for your depravity, and I immediately remembered the journey.”
Those who finish the journey become superior beings.
Sun Wukong, the Victorious Fighting Buddha.
Bai Longma, the white horse who became Babu Tianlong Guangli Bodhisattva
Sha Wujing, the Golden-bodied Arhat.
It was for a moment that the grand ending was appeasing.
But the end of the journey was empty.
Jogangryeob realized that he would never go on that messy journey and become a superior being.
“Have you never felt that emptiness, Son hyung?”
Most of the Monkey Clan became superior beings or fell into deep sleep.
And they have no descendants.
That’s why Jecheondaesung took advantage of the otherworldly conflict to find his sister, Wu Zhiqi, who has been in this world for a while.
Jecheondaesung answered honestly.
“It’s no different.”
“Then why…!”
“Our journey is over, Bajie.”
Jogangryeob’s words were blocked by Jecheondaesung’s firm statement.
“It’s time to watch the others take their journeys. I’m filling the void inside me like that.”
Jecheondaesung’s words made Jogangryeob think.
He stammered, still lying on the ground.
“Son hyung, I…”
Jecheondaesung looked down at him as the soldiers still retreated from the dragons chasing them.
The frozen otherworld was still affecting Eungwang High’s boundary.
Watching this, Jogangryeob spoke with his teeth clenched.
“…I can’t accept it!”
Fwaaa!
Jogangryeob shouted and actualized a card that he had been hiding in his sleeve.
At that moment, a frost began to cover Eungwang High.
