Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#1822 - The Battle of Three Demons at Lion Camel Ridge

In the Western Paradise, the Buddha, crestfallen, returned to Mount Ling.

The Buddhas were all awaiting his news, but seeing the Buddha's silence, they naturally understood the outcome of the journey and remained quiet.

At this moment, Namo Water Heaven Buddha had no choice but to say, "Buddha, it is normal for the Jade Emperor to favor Chu Hao. Right now, we still need to wait for the attendant to retrieve the decree from the Sage. By then, the Jade Emperor will naturally have nothing to say."

These were words of comfort, after all, who could guarantee that the Sage would really care about such trivial matters?

The Buddha's expression was calm, revealing no emotions. He merely glanced at the Buddhas and said indifferently, "For now, let's focus on the Journey to the West tribulation."

This statement set the tone for the matter, and everyone refrained from further discussion.

However, the thought of a Buddha being imprisoned by the Heavenly Court filled them with lingering fear.

After all, for countless years, the Heavenly Court and Buddhism had tacitly avoided interfering in each other's affairs, resulting in vastly different continents under their rule.

For example, the Heavenly Court's Nanzhan Continent was entirely a paradise for the human race, with few demons causing trouble. In contrast, the Buddhism's Xiniu Hezhou was a haven for demons, where humans were merely food for these demons.

Now, the appearance of Chu Hao had disrupted this rule.

Who could guarantee that their actions would not be investigated by the Heavenly Court in the future?

Moreover, the Buddha had returned empty-handed, and the Heavenly Court had firmly stated its intention to interfere in Buddhist affairs. Unless a Sage intervened, they really had no way to stop it.

In the lower realm, Guanyin,谛听, and two Bodhisattvas were all monitoring the battle situation at Lion Camel Ridge.

With the arrival of the second day, the demon army, which had been slacking off for a long time, finally set out in a mighty and imposing manner.

This time, the Golden-Winged Roc also issued a strict order to all the demons, demanding that they go all out.

The demons also understood that the decisive battle was imminent, so they put away their relaxed attitudes, stood ready, and marched towards Lion Camel Ridge.

On the other side, the Azure Lion and White Elephant had already received the news and also ordered the demons not to be careless and to prepare for a formidable enemy.

Dark clouds loomed over the city, and demonic energy surged into the sky.

On the horizon, countless demons emerged, and above the mighty army, the clouds churned, and the atmosphere was terrifying.

In the dim world, a bloody light appeared, and creatures within a thousand miles felt a palpitation and fled away from Lion Camel Ridge.

The Golden-Winged Roc arrived with the demons, first issuing a challenge as usual.

After the challenge, the two sides immediately engaged in battle.

The originally peaceful Lion Camel Ridge became chaotic at this moment, with countless trees collapsing, blood flowing like a sea, and shouts and cries of battle rising and falling.

In the midst of the battlefield, countless demons collided with each other, with severed limbs and bones scattered all over the ground, and a hellish scene unfolded.

Chu Hao watched indifferently, his subordinates, the Ancient Sky Eagles, had already joined the battlefield.

Most of them were demons, but they were later subdued by Chu Hao. Now, releasing their nature, they were all extremely excited.

With the addition of this group of subordinates, the originally outnumbered side of the Golden-Winged Roc was no longer at a disadvantage, but under Chu Hao's instructions, they intentionally maintained the balance of the battlefield, not allowing the battle to become one-sided.

Every demon that died was a loss for the Western Paradise.

The Roc did not disobey and immediately ordered the army to retreat, then rushed to the front.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, let me see your strength today." The Golden-Winged Roc soared into the sky, flapping its huge wings. Under the golden feathers, a storm arose, the void shattered, and a terrifying aura swept across the world.

The Azure Lion and White Elephant exchanged glances and also took action together.

The two demons transformed into their true forms on the spot.

Roar—

A giant lion, like a mountain, rushed out, emitting a deafening roar. The azure fur seemed to emit a captivating blue light, as sharp as a blade, firm and strong.

And next to it was a huge elephant, exuding white light all over its body. The giant elephant was smooth and flawless, like white jade, standing between heaven and earth, and a terrifying demon energy permeated it. With the long trunk swaying, it could trigger a terrifying power.

Once the Azure Lion and White Elephant, two terrifying demon kings, transformed into their true forms, they possessed unparalleled power.

Demonic light flickered, dazzling and eye-catching. The Azure Lion let out a roar, a sharp cry, shaking the heavens and the earth, and attacked the Golden-Winged Roc.

The Golden-Winged Roc flapped its golden wings, stirring up a hurricane, colliding with the sonic wave.

At the same time, the White Elephant also swung its long trunk, like a long dragon, flexible and changeable, piercing through the void, trying to wrap the Golden-Winged Roc.

The Golden-Winged Roc immediately flapped its wings and soared into the air.

The battle of the three demon kings, from the beginning, showed extremely terrifying power.

Under that power, countless small demons had to retreat.

Even the Ancient Sky Eagle of the Law Enforcement Hall sighed, "These three demons of Lion Camel Ridge are indeed powerful. If they really join forces, they can really cause a great disturbance."

"Boss, do we need to help?" Black Bear Spirit asked.

Chu Hao shook his head: "Let them fight. The Western Paradise will help."

"What about us?" Ancient Sky Eagle asked.

Looking at a group of subordinates around him, Chu Hao said: "Not us, it's you. You are now under the control of the Roc. Do whatever he tells you to do. As for me, I'm going back to sleep."

After speaking, he turned around and left.

"Ah?" A group of subordinates looked dumbfounded.

They didn't expect Chu Hao to make such a decision, but they still chose to believe him, so they watched him leave, and refocused their attention on the field.

In the void, Guanyin and others saw Chu Hao leave, thinking that the plan had been successful. Without this guy's trouble, they also put down the stone hanging in their hearts.

At that time, the three demons in the field were still fighting fiercely.

Relying on its high-altitude advantage, the Golden-Winged Roc fought alone against two demons, without falling behind. After all, the Azure Lion and White Elephant had practiced for a longer time, and their mana was more profound. Facing the Roc's surprise attack, they could also handle it with ease.

The two sides were in a stalemate, constantly consuming the power in their bodies.

As for the surroundings, the earth cracked, the mountains and forests collapsed, the void shattered, presenting an extremely tragic scene.

Such an amazing battle also alarmed Tang Seng and his disciples who were imprisoned in the cave.

"Monkey, is there an earthquake?" Pigsy asked, leaning against the stone wall.

"I don't know, maybe the three brothers are fighting," Monkey said.

Tang Seng, who was sitting beside him chanting scriptures, opened his eyes and said, "It's another massacre. I might as well send them to the Western Paradise."

These words made Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie look at each other, thinking: Is Master sick again?
