Chapter 248: The Gods and Demons Want to Kill the Demon
Sun Wukong used Tongtian River to stir the water for a long time but there was no response, so he gave up.
"Idiot, you used to be Marshal Tianpeng of the Heavenly Palace, in charge of 80,000 naval forces in the Milky Way. You are a good swimmer, why don't you go down and meet this monster?" Sun Wukong used the excuse that he was not a good swimmer to let Zhu Bajie go down and meet the King of Inspiration so that he could take it easy.
"Every time you know how to order me around"
Although Zhu Bajie complained, he still prepared to go into the water. He straightened his clothes, picked up the nine-toothed rake, and muttered, "Humph, you only know how to bully me, old pig."
Zhu Bajie took a deep breath and then dived into the Tongtian River. The water instantly submerged his figure, leaving only ripples on the water.
When Zhu Bajie entered the water, he immediately felt the depth and mystery of Tongtian River. The river water was freezing cold, and the surroundings were dark, with only a faint light flashing occasionally, making people feel as if they were in a strange and dangerous world.
Zhu Bajie swam forward cautiously. After swimming for a distance, he suddenly felt a demonic aura and saw an underwater cave not far away.
Zhu Bajie walked to the door of the cave and knocked. Soon, the King of Inspiration came out with a group of little demons. The King of Inspiration sneered and said, "Humph, Tongtian River is my territory. I am like a fish in water here. How dare you come here to die?"
Zhu Bajie puffed out his chest and shouted, "Monster, let my master go, or I, the old pig, will not forgive you."
The King of Inspiration laughed loudly: "Just you? Today I will make sure you never return." After that, the King of Inspiration waved the nine-petal copper hammer and rushed towards Zhu Bajie.
Zhu Bajie was not afraid at all, he raised his nine-toothed rake and went forward to fight. The two sides immediately started a fierce battle, the water suddenly became turbulent, the demonic energy and divine power collided with each other, making loud noises.
The fierce battle in the water caused the water of Tongtian River to surge violently. Zhu Bajie and the King of Inspiration fought back and forth, and it was difficult to separate them. Every time Zhu Bajie swung his nine-toothed rake, it brought a strong water impact, and the nine-petal copper hammer of the King of Inspiration was also very powerful, and every impact made the surrounding waters tremble.
The battle between Zhu Bajie and the King of Inspiration became more and more intense. They fought all the way from the cave entrance to the deeper waters. The surrounding little demons also joined the battle and tried to besiege Zhu Bajie. But Zhu Bajie was not afraid. He rushed left and right, wielding the nine-toothed rake tightly and beating the little demons to pieces.
It was unknown how long this underwater battle lasted. Both sides gradually became tired, and finally Zhu Bajie revealed a flaw first. The King of Inspiration took advantage of the situation and seized Zhu Bajie's flaw, forcing Zhu Bajie to retreat step by step. The King of Inspiration condensed a powerful attack, and the nine-petal red copper hammer swept across Zhu Bajie's rake, and Zhu Bajie was knocked out of the water by this blow.
Looking at Zhu Bajie's miserable appearance, Sun Wukong could not help but rolling his eyes and said with disgust: "You idiot, are you being lazy again? That monster is powerful, but how can we just let him take our master away and do nothing? The journey to the West is already difficult and dangerous. If we retreat when we encounter a powerful monster, how can we obtain the true scriptures and complete this important mission?" As Sun Wukong spoke, he kept fiddling with the golden cudgel in his hand, as if he was thinking about how to deal with it.
After hearing what Sun Wukong said, Zhu Bajie scratched his head, and a trace of helplessness appeared on his round face. He said: "Brother Monkey, I am not lazy. You can see that the monster is like a fish in water in the water. It is very powerful. I have tried my best, but it is difficult to resist. How about we think of other ways? We can't keep fighting like this. I am thick-skinned and can't stand the monster's torment." Zhu Bajie sighed as he spoke, as if he was still frightened by the battle in the water just now.
At this time, the water of Tongtian River was still surging, as if telling the thrilling battle just now. On the river bank, Sha Seng stood quietly by the side, with a solemn look on his face, holding the magic staff tightly in his hand, ready to deal with any possible danger. The little white horse was snorting anxiously not far away.
After using the Memory Stone to record Xuanzang being captured by the Inspiration King, Roth and his men quickly collected the Memory Stone and hurried back to the God and Demon Army camp not far away. At this time, the army had already been ready to go, waiting for the order. Roth's face was solemn, his eyes revealed determination and courage. He waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Let's go!" In an instant, the advance troops of the God and Demon Army of 10,000 people rushed towards the direction of Sun Wukong and his men like a surging torrent.
"Big Brother, a large number of troops are coming." Sha Wujing frowned slightly. His keen perception allowed him to detect the powerful aura in the distance. There was a hint of vigilance in his eyes, and he held the demon-slaying staff tightly in his hand, ready to deal with any possible danger.
"Brother Sha, don't worry. It looks like the person coming is my apprentice." Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes slightly and looked into the distance. His flaming eyes instantly saw through the identity of the person coming, and he couldn't help but feel relieved. He knew that Roth's arrival might bring new hope for them to solve the current predicament.
Soon, Roth, Little Crocodile, and Tiger Power, three demons, led the advance troops of the Gods and Demons Army of 10,000 people and arrived beside Sun Wukong and his companions. Roth was tall and imposing, and he exuded a strong aura. Little Crocodile and others followed closely behind him, all with solemn and majestic expressions.
"It's you, kid. You have great talent. You have reached this level in just a few years. You are almost as good as me in my youth." Although Sun Wukong and Roth are the same person, he still pretends to be a master in front of everyone. There is a hint of admiration in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, as if he is very satisfied with Roth's growth.
"I still rely on the grace of my master who reborn me under the Five Elements Mountain." Roth also cooperated with Sun Wukong and pretended to be respectful. He lowered his head slightly, his eyes full of gratitude.
"Greetings, Great Sage." The people behind Roth shouted in unison, their voices loud and deafening. They were full of awe for Sun Wukong, after all, Sun Wukong's fame had already spread throughout the three realms.
"Master, what happened? We just saw the fluctuation of mana from a distance." Roth asked. His eyes were full of concern, and he was eager to understand what happened.
"It's a long story. Didn't I protect that little monk on his journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures? When he passed by the Tongtian River, he was captured by the King of Inspiration in the river. He was probably going to eat his flesh. This monster in the Tongtian River called himself the King of Inspiration and said he would protect the weather here for good harvests. However, he asked the locals to offer young boys and girls as sacrifices every year." There was a hint of anger in Sun Wukong's tone. He was deeply dissatisfied with the evil deeds of the King of Inspiration.
"What? Master Your Brother was captured by a monster, and this monster wants to eat young boys and girls?" Roth was surprised at first, and then anger surged in his heart. His eyes were burning with anger, and his fists were clenched tightly, as if he was ready to fight the monster to the death at any time.
"What a bold monster! How dare he touch my Great Tang's brother, the Master, and even eat young boys and girls! How abominable! This master will tear him into pieces." Roth's words were loud and clear, and the gods and demons were all angry. They were indignant at the monster's evil deeds and were determined to avenge Master Xuanzang and seek justice for mankind.
Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "This monster is very powerful in the water, and I can't do anything about it. Do you have any ideas?" There was a hint of helplessness in Sun Wukong's tone. He knew very well that the King of Inspiration was very powerful in the water, and he would find it difficult to deal with it.
"Master, let my people try." Roth said confidently. He believed in the strength of the God and Demon Army and believed that they would be able to find a solution to the problem.
"Army of gods and demons, listen up. The Tongtian water demon is now possessed by spiritual power, seducing our holy monk and harming our human race. This has violated the majesty of the Tang Dynasty and the majesty of our human race. What crime should he be punished for?" Roth shouted loudly, his voice resounding through the sky like thunder.
"Death!" The God and Demon Army shouted in unison, their voices shaking the sky. Their voices were filled with anger and determination, as if they were determined to completely destroy the monster.
Roth nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Okay! Today, let the monsters in Tongtian River see how powerful our Tang Dynasty's army of gods and demons is. Black Dragon (little crocodile), you lead a small team of water experts down Tongtian River to scout the situation first. Hu Li, Yang Li, and Lu Li, you lead the army to disperse and form a battle formation." There was a hint of majesty in Roth's eyes, and his orders were concise and clear, and could not be questioned.
The little crocodile took the order and left. He selected a small team of soldiers who were good at water warfare and prepared to sneak into the Tongtian River to investigate the situation. Hu Li, Yang Li, and Lu Li also acted quickly. They led the army to disperse and set up the formation according to Roth's instructions. The gods and demons carried out the order in an orderly manner. Their actions were swift and decisive, showing a high level of military accomplishment.
