Chapter 857: Chessboard Storm
On a large lake.

There are rows of tall statues standing there.

There are two human-shaped statues with a living creature sitting on the crown of their heads.

Among these two creatures, one is Sun Wukong who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago.

The other is the fox brother Wu who has followed Wang Ming for a thousand years.

Wang Ming was asked by Taishang Laojun to join the journey to the West.

Journey to the West!

In fact, it is also a catastrophe.

The magnitude of this catastrophe is slightly smaller than the last catastrophe during the Conferred Gods period.

Because this time there is no calamity energy from heaven and earth in this catastrophe, without the appearance of calamity energy, those smart people will naturally not be fooled, and they can avoid the catastrophe by hiding obediently.

Of course, this so-called cleansing does not include the demon race.

Wang Ming did not take action personally!
Instead, he let the fifth fox brother fight Sun Wukong.

After all, it would be too cheap to do it in person.

and,

Wang Ming also had to be on guard against being betrayed by Taishang Laojun.

Letting the fifth brother Fox fall into disaster is actually for his own good.

Although the fifth fox brother has a despicable character, he has done a lot of harm to Yang Jian and others.

But Fox Brother Five has been following Wang Ming for all these years and has been very dedicated in his work.

The fifth brother and the fox sister have both been doomed to fail because of their careless oaths, and they must come to face the disaster.

Although it is the fifth brother who appears at this time, the fox sister will inevitably be involved later.

·············
Journey to the West sets up checkpoints.

Wang Ming referred to the tactics of the Green Bull Demon, the mount of Taishang Laojun.

That is to tempt Tang Seng and the others to make mistakes.

Since Tang Seng and his companions made a mistake, then the fox fifth brother had a legitimate reason to capture Tang Sanzang.

It turns a behavior that was originally at a moral disadvantage into one that stands at the moral high ground.

To put it bluntly, this behavior is a sting operation.

Only in this way can we ask Lingshan for benefits and find a better guarantor if we fail.

The sacred tree that deceived Tang Sanzang and his companions was actually a fake.

But the fruits of the Tao hanging on the sacred tree are real. They are the various laws and Taos that Wang Ming has comprehended himself.

Wang Ming surpasses Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing in realm, cultivation and knowledge, so naturally they cannot resist that temptation.

The temptation of those Tao fruits to practitioners is extremely terrifying.

This is like the temptation of dried fish to cats and the love of honey to brown bears.

Extremely difficult to resist.

·······
The fifth fox brother’s cultivation is not much weaker than Sun Wukong’s.

The fox sister still did not keep her oath to Jade Ding Zhenren and passed the [Heaven-Splitting Palm] to the fifth fox brother.

Wang Ming watched the whole process but did not intervene to remind them.

Because in Wang Ming's opinion, reminders are useless.

Everyone is stubborn and only believes what he believes. Words can never change anyone's will. Only the cold reality can change one's will.

and,

When you tell someone not to do something, you often achieve the opposite effect.

The more you forbid him to do something, the more he will do it.

If the fifth fox brother only relies on the [Heavenly Palm] to fight against Sun Wukong, the result will inevitably be extremely miserable.

So Wang Ming used the Shennong Ding to refine a set of life and death chess for the fifth fox brother.

The Shennong Ding is more powerful than the Baolian Lantern in this world, and is only inferior to the Axe of Creation. You should know that the three emperors of the Xianjian world, Nuwa, Shennong, and Fuxi, are not simple.

The potential of Shennong Ding and the Shennong Ding in this world are completely different things.

but,

The attack power of Shennong Ding is not that strong, but fortunately its auxiliary ability is very powerful.

He is excellent in both refining weapons and refining medicine.

The set of life and death chess refined by Wang Ming is not as powerful as the Precious Lotus Lantern, but if used well it can be used to deal with Sun Wukong.

·······
Sun Wukong tried many ways to escape from his restraints, but unfortunately no matter how he struggled it was in vain.

The seat has a magic-forbidden area. The moment he sat on it, he could no longer use any spells.

The fifth fox brother looked at Sun Wukong across from him and said with a confident and proud smile: "Since you have entered my game of life and death, then we must decide the winner."

"Two cannons equal five!"

As Fox Brother Five finished his words, a statue of a sports car carved on a cylinder several dozen meters high broke through the water flow on the surface of Mirror Lake and began to move with a loud bang.

Sun Wukong asked in confusion: "Monster, if you don't let me, Master Sun, go, what's the point of playing chess?"

The fifth fox brother said, "Bimawen, you'd better play this game seriously. If you lose this game, you will die."

Sun Wukong was shocked when he heard this and asked, "What do you mean?"

The fifth fox brother laughed and said, "The chess of life and death, of course, is the chess of life and death."

As soon as these words came out, Sun Wukong's heart sank, and he thought to himself: "I am not afraid of fighting, but my chess skills are really average. If I lose, I will not really die here!"

Sun Wukong no longer had the ignorant character he had when he made trouble in Heaven. He had been suppressed by the palm of Buddha for five hundred years, and then he encountered many powerful opponents and strange magic weapons on his journey to the West. He was not too surprised by this situation.

"Horse two into three!"

Seeing that he could not break free from the chess of life and death, Sun Wukong could only follow the rules of the chessboard and use his [Knight] to defend himself.

Then the fifth fox brother and Sun Wukong started fighting fiercely on the chessboard.

"bump!"

Fox Brother Five's [Cannon] suddenly flew up, then fell down in an instant, pressing Sun Wukong's chess piece [Soldier] to the bottom of Mirror Lake.

"puff!"

As the chess piece [Soldier] disappeared, Sun Wukong also spat out a mouthful of blood.

Sun Wukong was horrified and said, "This chess piece is linked to my life."

This situation made Sun Wukong feel extremely frightened.

Fear also comes from the phobia of not having enough fire to use spells.

Sun Wukong also commanded his own chess pieces to capture one of the chess pieces of the fifth fox brother.

but,

Sun Wukong did not wait for the scene of the fifth brother being injured. He still looked at Sun Wukong with a smile, which made Sun Wukong very surprised: "What happened to you?"

The fifth fox brother said: "The chess of life and death is my magic weapon. If it can hurt me, then this magic weapon will be useless."

As time passed, the game came to an end.

The fifth fox brother's horse jumped high up, then fell down with a bang and trampled Sun Wukong to death.

Sun Wukong screamed, "Ouch!"

The chess of life and death disappeared with the death of Sun Wukong.

It has returned to its mirror-like state.

Just when Fox Brother Five was about to pick up Sun Wukong's body on the ground, Sun Wukong, who had died tragically, suddenly jumped up, startling Fox Brother Five.

Sun Wukong was indeed dead, but the [Seventy-two Earthly Fiends] he practiced gave him a new life.

The fifth fox brother was ready for battle, but Sun Wukong just rode away on a cloud.

Seeing Sun Wukong, who had caused trouble in Heaven, escape, he couldn't help but feel proud.

Wang Ming, who was observing secretly, knew that the battle had just begun.
