Chapter 663: Chapter 664 Please Ask the Demon King Peng to Take Action (First Update!) Chapter 663: Chapter 664 Please Ask the Demon King Peng to Take Action (First Update!) The battle between Yuan Hong and the Great Roc King Peng Fei continued, and it seed unlikely to conclude anyti soon. Although Peng Fei’s cultivation was stronger than Yuan Hong’s, their combat power was quite evenly matched, with Yuan Hong having a slight edge in the arts of movent and transformation.
However, the Green Lion King and the White Elephant King did not give Yuan Hong a fair chance to duel. After capturing Jiang Liu’er, Zhu Bajie, the Sandy Monk, and the White Dragon Horse and returning them to the Lion Cal Cave, they rode the clouds back and together launched an attack on Yuan Hong.
“Cloning Divine Powers!”
Enraged, Yuan Hong used his Cloning Divine Powers to battle the three demon kings, but gradually started to lose, and the Green Lion King seized the opportunity to use his divine skill to swallow him whole.
“Disaster!”
From mid-air, the Demon King Peng shouted in alarm, ready to intervene and rescue Yuan Hong, but Sun Wukong blocked him.
“Boss, Yuan Hong has been swallowed by that lion. If we don’t act now, he’ll just end up being excreted.”
The Demon King Peng said anxiously.
Sun Wukong laughed, “Don’t worry, Yuan Hong is fine. It’s that green-headed lion who’s in trouble!”
Those who had cultivated the Eight-Nine Profound Skill to the Great Achievent Realm were possessed of a Vajra Indestructible Body; devouring tactics might work on others but were utterly useless against the likes of Sun Wukong and Yuan Hong. In fact, it was akin to exposing one’s own weak spot right in front of them.
You are tough on the outside and your body is solid, aren’t you? Well, I want to see if the inside of your belly is as tough as the outside!
“Really?”
The Demon King Peng was sowhat skeptical, but seeing the certainty on Sun Wukong’s face, he refrained from saying more and followed the three demons to the Lion Cal Cave.
“Boss, what do we do now? Should we charge in?”
“No need. Let go in alone first to check the situation. You wait here for my ssage.”
Sun Wukong said, then his figure flickered, and he transford into a small buzzing fly and flew into the Lion Cal Cave.
Externally, the Lion Cal Cave might not seem large, but its interior was a different story, a rare Cave Heaven and Blessed Land which could easily span up to ten square miles—an explanation for its capacity to house tens of thousands of minor demons.
Sun Wukong didn’t know where Jiang Liu’er and the others were held. He wasn’t inclined to rescue them just yet, as subduing the three demons first was essential. Otherwise, even if they were rescued, they could be captured again.
He flew towards the tallest building inside the Cave Heaven, where, unsurprisingly, the three demons were located.
Indeed, upon entering the grand hall of the building, he could hear the Green Lion King’s voice from inside: “Minions, bring wine to your great king. I shall make this monkey drunk to death inside my belly.”
“Drunk to death?”
Sun Wukong chuckled inwardly, knowing all too well that Yuan Hong wouldn’t be fazed by alcohol—his capacity for liquor was legendary, withstanding a thousand cups!
As expected, the Green Lion King had drunk a fair amount of liquor but showed no signs of intoxication, as all the wine had been consud by Yuan Hong in his stomach.
After getting drunk, Yuan Hong started tumbling around inside the Green Lion King’s belly, causing so much pain that the Green Lion King rolled around til the ground was pitted.
The Green Lion King had no choice but to agree to release Jiang Liu’er and others, escorting them and their master across Lion Cal Ridge.
Once Sun Wukong erged from the Lion Cal Cave, he shared the situation with the Demon King Peng, who burst into laughter, “This Yuan Hong really knows so tricks. It seems I don’t even need to lend a hand. I’ll settle accounts with that Peng Fei after they cross Lion Cal Ridge!”
“Cross Lion Cal Ridge? I’m afraid it’s not that simple!”
Sun Wukong scoffed coldly, “Those three demon kings are far from good creatures, especially the Great Roc King, who would definitely not let Jiang Liu’er and the others pass Lion Cal Ridge so easily. There must be a conspiracy!”
“Are you suggesting they will break their word?”
The Demon King Peng narrowed his eyes.
“Most likely!”
Sun Wukong scoffed coldly, “Just wait and see, the show isn’t over yet!”
Half a day later, in Lion Cal City at the base of Lion Cal Ridge, the three demon kings indeed had set a trap. They captured Jiang Liu’er, and after a fierce battle, Zhu Bajie and Sandy Monk were also captured one after another. Yuan Hong tried to escape using his Sorsault Cloud but was overtaken by the Great Roc King, who grabbed him with his real body, preventing any escape, and he was also captured back to Lion Cal City.
“See, didn’t I tell you it wasn’t going to be that simple?”
Sun Wukong saw everything clearly from mid-air with the Demon King Peng, shrugged, and said to him.
“Boss, since Yuan Hong and the others have been captured, it might be difficult for them to escape. I’ll go right now to the cave entrance and provoke that Peng Fei to co out and fight; the other two demon kings will be up to you to deal with!”
As the Demon King Peng spoke, he was about to ride the clouds there, but was stopped by Sun Wukong, “Hey, hey, what’s the rush? Specific demons can’t trap Yuan Hong. We need to wait a bit longer. Let’s wait for him to break free and co to us for help before we make a move. In this Journey to the West to Seek Scriptures, they must face hardships to accumulate rit, otherwise, they can’t achieve their goal.”
With that, the Demon King Peng could only patiently wait. Around midnight, Yuan Hong did indeed break free and even managed to rescue Jiang Liu’er and his companions, but unfortunately, they couldn’t escape and were caught by the three awakened demon kings, with only Yuan Hong managing to flee alone.
“It’s about ti to show ourselves.”
Seeing that they had endured enough hardships, Sun Wukong nodded to the Demon King Peng and caught up with Yuan Hong on the Sorsault Cloud.
Upon seeing Sun Wukong, Yuan Hong was extrely excited and imdiately knelt down, “Great Saint, please save my master!”
“Alright, I’m already clear about the situation. Get up, and I’ll explain slowly!”
In his past life, Sun Wukong’s mories related to the Journey to the West only extended to the True and False Beautiful Monkey King; beyond that, all mories ca from the previous owner within the Ti-Space Life-Death Talisman.
According to those mories, the Great Roc King was born from a peacock, unlike other mbers of the Golden Winged Great Roc Clan; he had so familial relationship with Tathagata Buddha. In the mories, in the end, it was Tathagata Buddha who captured the Great Roc King. As for the Green Lion King and the White Elephant King, they were the mounts of Manjusri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva respectively, but both of these figures had perished, leaving the Green Lion King and the White Elephant King to wreak havoc in the mortal world.
“Does that an I need to go to the Great Thunder Sound Temple in Western Heaven to ask Tathagata for help?”
Upon hearing this, Yuan Hong’s face filled with worry, “Ever since the last battle at the Great Thunder Sound Temple, Tathagata and I might as well have torn each other apart. Going to Spiritual Mountain to ask for his help now, he’s likely to take the opportunity to harm instead of helping, right?”
“Who told you that only Tathagata can subdue the Great Roc King?”
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and pointed to the Demon King Peng beside him, “See here? This is the Demon King Peng, one of the Six Great Demon Kings of our Demon Cult, and a kin of that Great Roc King. It’s perfect for him to subdue the Great Roc King!”
