Seizing the opportunity while Wu Zhiqi conjured up a screen of towering waves that obscured a vast expanse of view, Wukong and Yuan Hong suddenly made their move.
Yuan Hong leapt towards Zhao Gongming with the Heaven-reaching Rod already in hand. Zhao Gongming, shocked, hadn't expected anyone hidden here to attack at this moment. With no other choice, he summoned a Flying Sword. Placing the Flying Sword horizontally above his head, he offered it in sacrifice. Yuan Hong swept his staff towards it, striking the Flying Sword and causing it to crack as it flew away. But this bought Zhao Gongming a moment to catch his breath, and as he rapidly retreated, he simultaneously sent out a barrage of Divine Thunder.
Yuan Hong cursed silently, not expecting Zhao Gongming to be so alert.
As for Wukong, he split off into Sun Walker and headed straight for Wen Zhong, exclaiming, "Hold off from harming my Taoist friend!"
