(Bringing my fiancée home to meet the parents, a drive of over four hours delayed us. Apologies to everyone! Two more chapters are coming up together!)
Tens of thousands of blood-red Sword Qi, accompanied by a surge of blood-colored energy, burst forth from the Sword of Trapping Immortals, viciously slashing towards Sun Wukong and his clones. Sun Wukong was shocked and steadied his stance, swinging the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod swiftly as to create an impenetrable barrier, repelling all incoming Sword Qi.
The clones similarly wielded the Ruyi Silver-Hooped Rod, but its power was slightly inferior to the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod and failed to disperse all the Sword Qi. A fraction still pierced through the defense of the Ruyi Silver-Hooped Rod, slashing onto the clone's body and creating deep, bone-visible wounds. Ultimately, a streak of sword light cleaved the clone in half at the waist!
