He didn't want to.
Before Wu Zhiqi could even finish speaking, Sun Kong found himself extremely displeased and unhappy. Immediately, he raised the Journey to the West Gatling.
And fired a burst at him.
A total of 12 bullets!
"You're Wu Zhiqi?"
Pew pew pew!
A burst from the Journey to the West Gatling shot out, each bullet imbued with the power of a low-grade Ordinary Hunyuan Da Luo Golden Immortal.
The immense power.
Was immeasurable.
But in the very next second, both Sun Kong and Wu Zhiqi witnessed the terrifying might of these bullets, truly living up to the title "Journey to the West Gatling!"
"Sun Wukong, others might fear you, but I, the Scarlet-Butt Monkey Wu Zhiqi, am not afraid. You want to challenge me? You're still too green."
"First, hand over that ugly spirit treasure of yours, you demon!"
Wu Zhiqi was indeed like a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger, completely unaware that Sun Kong had once fought against thousands upon thousands of gods and immortals from Spirit Mountain and the Heavenly Court alone.
He actually dared to utter such arrogant words.
But in the next second, he would suffer the consequences of being too boastful.
For as Sun Kong fired his first tentative shot, not daring to use too many bullets, an unimaginable scene unfolded!
The first bullet, though not precisely aimed and grazing Wu Zhiqi, instantly shot into the Huai River behind him.
It immediately stirred up a colossal wave tens of thousands of feet high.
Under this powerful impact, the river water within a radius of three hundred li, centered on Wu Zhiqi, was all boiled and scorched, scalding hot.
Its power far exceeded Sun Kong's initial expectations. These were not mere bullets; they were clearly artillery shells.
No.
More accurately, the explosive damage was comparable to missiles from his previous timeline, and this was only the first one so far.
"I wonder if the remaining eleven will boil the entire Huai River dry?"
"If I had known this thing was so powerful, I shouldn't have wasted bullets like this. Ah, I was careless. I'll have to demand compensation from this Wu Zhiqi later."
Sun Kong was still calculating here.
But he did not expect.
That on the other side, Wu Zhiqi could no longer compensate him. It wasn't that he didn't want to, or couldn't afford to, but from the second bullet onwards.
This poor Wu Zhiqi was utterly defenseless.
Not only that, but he and his two innate spirit treasures were sent flying, battered, and bleeding.
Not a hundred li, not a thousand li.
But a full ten thousand li away!
"Waaah!"
"This is impossible! I, the Calculation King, am a Great Golden Immortal at the peak of cultivation, undefeated for hundreds of thousands of li around the Huai River. How could I not even withstand a single move from you?"
"Mother, Father, this hurts so much! Damn it, what kind of spirit treasure is this, so terrifying?"
The second bullet alone pierced through Wu Zhiqi's abacus and fortune-telling banner in one second. Before he could react or defend himself.
It heavily wounded both spirit treasures.
Wu Zhiqi, as their owner, was sent flying eighteen thousand li by the immense force of this single bullet. Along the way, he stumbled, crashing into dozens of large mountains and hundreds of small hills.
If not for his deep foundation, he would likely not have had the chance to still be alive and shouting these words.
As for the innate spirit treasures, the abacus and the banner, they fared even worse.
Although, due to their special nature, they were not shattered on the spot, they were still heavily damaged, scattered in disarray. Even if he went to retrieve them, it would take considerable effort!
And most terrifyingly, the attack from this first shot was not over. So far, only the first two bullets had hit the Huai River and Wu Zhiqi.
The remaining ten bullets, due to the immense recoil, almost made Sun Kong, who was wielding the Journey to the West Gatling, lose his grip.
Finally.
The only thing that could be seen was the following scene!
"Rumble!"
Accompanied by thunderous explosions like landmines, the third bullet struck a giant mountain near the Huai River, a hundred thousand feet tall.
It was unclear how the bullet functioned, but the result was that this mountain, taller than Sun Kong's Dharma-Heaven-Earth divine ability, was instantly blown to pieces.
It turned into dust and scattered down.
Among them, various forests, trees, flowers, plants, animals, cultivators with lower cultivation, and other demons and monsters.
They didn't even have time to cry for help.
They were vaporized.
This single bullet, at the very least, increased Sun Kong's karma and sins by hundreds of thousands!
"Good heavens, what should I do now? I didn't kill him, but he died because of me. Fortunately, there are no Buddhist disciples here to see this."
"Otherwise, those monks would use this to forbid me from entering Spirit Mountain."
"Next time, I need to control my power better."
Sun Kong was having this thought.
When he saw.
The third bullet shot at another giant mountain, a hundred thousand feet tall, and like the previous one, it vaporized the mountain, adding hundreds of thousands to his sins.
The fourth...
The fifth...
The sixth...
These three bullets didn't continue to destroy any giant mountains. After flying for half a day without finding a target, they fell into the depths of the Huai River on their own.
Bang bang bang!
After a series of hundreds of violent explosions, as expected, three giant waves, tens of thousands of feet high, appeared again. And because the positions of the three bullets were close,
A vast crater with a radius of over a thousand li was formed.
Even though the Huai River was one of the famous water systems in the Kyushu region of the human realm, there was no other river water at this time that could fill this void!
Following that.
The seventh, eighth, and ninth bullets did not hit mountains or fall into the Huai River, but flew towards the heavens.
Although not as mighty as the Golden Cudgel piercing the Heavenly Court in the original timeline, they still caused the clouds in the heavens above to shake for a while.
Sometimes it rained.
Sometimes it snowed.
Sometimes it hailed.
Within a radius of a thousand li, in just a few breaths, three seasons and three types of harsh weather were experienced, astonishing everyone!
And the last three bullets, just as they were about to cross the shattered clouds and head towards the celestial realm, were intercepted by a divine sense.
It was Sun Kong's divine sense!
"My good babies, stop being angry. Come back. This test attack was very successful, confirming my suspicions and exceeding my expectations by far."
"We can't keep fooling around like this. If we really shoot into the celestial realm and blow up the South Heaven Gate, that would be bad."
"After all, I am a well-educated Buddhist disciple. How can I be so childish?"
Clearly, his own volley had caused immense damage, yet Sun Kong insisted on whitewashing himself.
His thick skin was unparalleled.
But since both Spirit Mountain and the Heavenly Court were shocked and terrified after the last incident, no one questioned it.
Thus.
Sun Kong put away the Journey to the West Gatling and approached Wu Zhiqi with a mischievous and shameless grin.
It wasn't entirely surprising!
"Young man, I see your bone structure is extraordinary. Bullets can't kill you. Are you willing to become my disciple and be taught the mission of maintaining world peace and punishing evil?"
