Yu Long & Zhu Bajie vs Yu Shen

Andrew Lawson, I see what you did there.

I don't know why you're spending so many Power Stones on this novel even I'm super lazy, but thanks.

*****

Yu Shen radiated a dark aura that spread everywhere, and it was definitely not good for anyone's health.

"Yu Long! Protect Master! I'll hold off this lunatic!" Bajie said with a worried look.

She didn't like fighting those stronger than her because, well… she always ended up getting beaten like a meat punching bag, so it wasn't exactly her favorite thing.

But for Master… this pain was nothing more than an ant bite!

"Sis, I won't leave you behind. We'll protect Master together," Yu Long said, stepping forward and raising her spear.

Bajie was touched upon hearing that—she really wanted to hug Yu Long.

Yu Shen looked at the two of them and raised a single finger.

"One finger is more than enough."

…

That arrogant and provoking tone was really punch-worthy. Zhu Bajie feared she wouldn't be able to control her anger and would just charge at him and smash his head in.

"Attack!!"

The two of them rushed forward, launching a barrage of attacks at Yu Shen.

Yu Shen didn't even need to look at them. He just moved his finger toward their attacks—

And blocked everything!

"ORA ORA ORA ORA!!"

The two struck from every direction, every angle—

Yet he blocked it all effortlessly.

Realizing things weren't looking good, they backed away and launched another attack.

Bajie slammed the Nine-Tooth Rake into the ground, causing the earth to surge up and rush toward Yu Shen, forming an earthen wall around him.

Yu Long immediately transformed into a dragon, flew up, gathered energy, and fired a blast straight at Yu Shen's position.

A massive explosion erupted, blowing away the earthen walls.

"Is he down?!" Bajie asked, staring into the spreading smoke.

As the smoke cleared, a scaly body and a pair of glowing red eyes were revealed, staring straight at Bajie.

Alright, that looked pretty badass.

"Cheater! You said you'd only use one finger!" Bajie pointed at him, clearly dissatisfied.

"You actually believed me, you pig?"

"YOUUUUUUUU!!!"

Suddenly, Yu Long fired again. Yu Shen glanced at her and opened his mouth, unleashing a heat beam that countered her attack.

BOOM!

Bajie was sweating more and more as Yu Shen's aura intensified.

"Let me tell you both something. After absorbing dragon blood and taking some time to control my power, now… I've become complete."

"You already said that. Aren't you afraid someone will punch you while you keep talking?"

"Haha, if this were a fanfic where an OC is overpowered beyond reason by some random author, maybe? But too bad—this is canon."

He smirked.

"And since this is canon… I CONTROL THE GAME!!"

Scales erupted all over his body as he fully transformed into a dragon hybrid. In an instant, he shot toward Bajie at terrifying speed.

"Dammit! Why is it always—"

He grabbed Bajie's face and slammed her into the ground.

Then, dragging her along the ground, he flung her into the air.

Bajie barely had time to catch her breath before she saw the glow forming in his mouth. She tried to dodge—

But she wasn't fast enough.

Just before he fired, Yu Long flew in and carried Bajie away.

The beam shot straight up, causing an explosion twice the size of Yu Long's previous blast.

"Ah crap! What about Master?!" Bajie cried out in panic.

Yu Long opened her mouth, revealing Tang Sanzang inside—completely drenched in her saliva.

"Phew, good thing he's fine—AGHH!!"

As she was flying, Yu Shen suddenly appeared and pierced through her flesh. Yu Long gritted her teeth in pain but endured it.

Bajie immediately swung her Nine-Tooth Rake at him, but he dodged, causing her weapon to strike Yu Long's skin instead.

"Ugh!!"

"S-sorry!"

Yu Shen climbed onto Yu Long's back and charged forward. Bajie gritted her teeth and swung at him.

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing against something even harder—Bajie was shocked at how tough his skin was.

"Get lost!" Yu Shen's fist flared with aura as he punched Bajie off Yu Long's back.

Yu Long tried to revert to her human form, but Yu Shen sharpened his scaled claws and stabbed them into her back.

Yu Long endured the pain and released a freezing aura, encasing everything around her in ice.

Yu Shen's arm was frozen, preventing him from pulling it out, while Yu Long transformed back into her human form and escaped the ice.

Even though she was injured, she had to get Tang Sanzang away as quickly as possible.

"Tch."

Yu Shen transformed into a monstrous dragon and shot toward Yu Long.

Seeing her younger brother about to kill both her and Master, she summoned her sacred weapon.

She aimed at Yu Shen's forehead, gathering all her energy into this single attack.

This time, her body began to shrink, and the golden rings beneath her thighs glowed, as if restoring her lost buffs.

Yu Long bit her lip, her muscles tensing as she put everything into her throw.

The lance soared toward Yu Shen's forehead, and the moment it struck—his entire body was instantly frozen.

Yu Long saw this and looked down, focusing on landing safely without injuring Tang Sanzang.

As she landed, blood gushed from her wounds, causing her to collapse, barely able to grab onto Tang Sanzang's robes.

"Sis, your final effort was kind of pointless, you know?"

Yu Shen stomped on her back. The lance was still in his forehead, yet he simply pulled it out and snapped it like a twig.

He was way too strong…

"GAGHHHH!!!"

Out of nowhere, Bajie lunged, attempting to strike him from behind.

Unfortunately, her buffs had also been drained, causing her to revert to her normal, weaker form.

Yu Shen easily sidestepped and kicked her in the neck, knocking her down.

"Well, well, thanks for being my punching bags while I tested my skills. I've gotten used to them now." Yu Shen sneered, looking at his dragon hand.

"And sis, I believe I already told you—"

He stepped closer, staring straight into Yu Long's eyes.

"I want to paint in your blood."

Yu Shen raised his clawed hand, preparing to tear Yu Long apart.

A massive shadow loomed, blocking out the light, making Yu Shen realize something was wrong.

He turned around—only to see an enormous crimson staff descending toward him.

"THE GREAT SAGE HAS ARRIVED!!!"

That all-too-familiar voice rang out, making his blood boil in frustration.

"YOU DAMN MONKEY!!!!"

Wukong grinned arrogantly.
