[Description: The Great Sage, Equal of Heaven!]
Qin Ming couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eye when he saw Sun Wukong's stats.
Two SSS-ranked skills! What kind of monster was this?
And one of those was even a defensive passive skill! The physical enhancement it must provide was terrifying beyond imagination—Qin Ming didn't even dare to think about it.
More importantly, it wasn't just Sun Wukong whose attributes were frightening; the others' stats were equally formidable.
Not to mention Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing—even the white horse, the Little White Dragon, had an SSS-ranked skill called True White Dragon Form!
What truly shocked Qin Ming, however, wasn't these few's attributes, but rather Tang Sanzang's stats!

[Description: Holder of the famous Chinese delicacy: Tang Sanzang's Flesh]
Tang Sanzang's base stats were very low, but his skills were incredibly powerful.
The SSS-ranked exquisite... special skill! It reflected his noble status!
Six Jia and Six Ding! Five Directions Jiedi! The legendary eighteen protectors who constantly guard him! It seemed to be true.
No wonder when others caught Tang Sanzang, they didn't think about biting him first to become immortal; instead, they focused on live-streaming food shows and preparing seasoning.
If they had just rushed to bite him, they'd probably have eighteen burly men burst out on the spot and kill the demons immediately!
This was supposed to be a pilgrimage for scriptures! But it came with a professional bodyguard crew! And the members were criminals to boot!
And secretly, there was even an entire army escorting them! This was no mere monk's journey for scriptures—it was clearly a big boss's entourage!
The bodyguard group, composed of vicious criminals, handled obvious enemies.
The close personal guards trailing in secret took care of the opponents that couldn't be confronted openly.
At that moment, Qin Ming finally understood why killing Tang Sanzang earned a golden title as a reward. Just the bodyguards around him alone justified the difficulty of obtaining that title.
Although he was startled by the four disciples' attributes, Qin Ming also breathed a sigh of relief.
Because he noticed some good news: Sun Wukong and the others were strong, but not ridiculously so.
Their base stats weren't high.
Was it because of the world's suppression? Or some special circumstance? Either way, it was good news for Qin Ming.
After all, if their base stats weren't high, then the boss this time, the Gold and Silver Kings, wouldn't have too high base stats either.
That meant if he could find a way to avoid their magical treasures, everything would be manageable.
Just as Qin Ming frowned in thought, watching the four disciples walk away, his pupils suddenly contracted and he sharply raised his head.
Almost at the same moment, a piercing gunshot rang out. The next second, a bullet flashed cold light as it tore through the air, speeding toward Tang Sanzang and his companions.
To be precise, it was aimed at Tang Sanzang!
Another adventurer had taken action! And their first move was to kill Tang Sanzang!
Hearing the sharp whistle, Sun Wukong, who had been shakily moving forward with both hands resting on his staff laid across his shoulders, suddenly widened his eyes.
Almost simultaneously, he spun around sharply and swung his staff with a powerful sweep.
The golden-banded staff struck with incredible precision at the incoming bullet—the angle was flawless, not off by even the slightest bit!
Sun Wukong's reaction was incredibly fast! Even a sniper's stealth attack was caught by him!
But before the staff could collide with the bullet, the armor-piercing round mysteriously vanished.
That's right—it disappeared! Vanished out of thin air right in front of the staff!
Sun Wukong swung his staff through empty air, a look of shock crossing his face. Then, realizing what happened, he turned and shouted.
"Master!"
At that exact moment, behind Tang Sanzang's unguarded head, space twisted, and an armor-piercing bullet suddenly shot out of nowhere, aimed straight at his skull.
A spatial teleport!
Clang!
A sharp impact rang out as the armor-piercing bullet struck Tang Sanzang's back of the head, sparking brilliantly.
A barrier inscribed with Sanskrit characters appeared, clinging to Tang Sanzang's head and forcefully blocking the blow.
Possessing Tang Sanzang's body, the most defensive of the Five Directions Jiedi had taken action!
Seeing the attack blocked, Sun Wukong finally relaxed slightly, then swiftly turned his head and looked into the distance, a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
With Fiery Eyes of True Sight activated, his vision instantly pierced through several miles, revealing the true face of the ambusher.
It was a woman! Kneeling on one knee atop a hill, aiming a sniper rifle at them!
"Hey! Monster! Give me your life!"
With a roar, Sun Wukong rolled and suddenly surged upward on his cloud, his body turning into lightning. With a "whoosh," he vanished from where he had stood, leaving only one warning behind.
"Idiot! Protect Master!"
By now, Pigsy and Sha Monk had finally reacted, setting down their luggage, raising their weapons, and blocking in front of Tang Sanzang, nodding vigorously at Sun Wukong's command.
With the wind roaring around him, Sun Wukong's use of the Somersault Cloud had reached an indescribable speed.
In the blink of an eye, having rushed several kilometers forward, he closed the distance with the ambusher.
Seeing this, the woman kneeling on the hill remained expressionless. She yanked the bolt on her sniper rifle hard and kept firing at Sun Wukong.
Bullets flew one after another. Sun Wukong controlled his cloud to dodge left and right, narrowly avoiding the speeding rounds.
Thanks to his Fiery Eyes of True Sight skill, his perception was extraordinary; even face-to-face sniper shots could be avoided.
But the bullets he dodged barely passed by him before they strangely vanished.
Before Sun Wukong could react, the bullets suddenly reappeared around him, switching angles and continuing to fire!
This bizarre tactic caught Sun Wukong completely off guard, and for a moment, over a dozen bullets struck his body simultaneously.
Sparks flew as his speed faltered abruptly.
Suspended midair, Sun Wukong's head was knocked askew but slowly turned back to look at the woman ahead.
An armor-piercing bullet, severely deformed and pressed against his skull, slid off without causing him a single scratch!
SSS skill! Innate Vajra-Body!
His eyes burned with flames, and his already fierce features—the furrowed brows and thunderous mouth—grew even more menacing.
Realizing he couldn't dodge the attack, Sun Wukong suddenly roared angrily and, the next moment, stopped dodging altogether, accelerating straight toward the enemy.
He saw his bullets exploding on her body, sparks flying, yet not even breaking her skin.
The woman, having emptied her rifle's magazine, stood up with a scowl and couldn't help rolling her eyes.
"Damn monkey!"
"Hey!"
Boom!
With the wind howling, Sun Wukong suddenly lengthened and thickened his golden staff to nearly ten meters, slamming it onto the hilltop.
The entire hilltop exploded, rocks and debris flying everywhere, shattering into pieces.
Yet the intended target had already vanished without a trace.
At the last moment, the woman carrying the sniper rifle on her shoulder disappeared into thin air!
