All Leftovers from My Past Picks

Demon battles were the bloodiest and most brutal. Just look at Monkey for reference—he basically swung his staff straight at the crown of the head, striking however he could to scatter souls and destroy spirits, with no room for mercy.

As for whether they actually died, that was another matter...

Sai Taisui was terrified that Duke might suddenly shoot him, but he feared his master even more. After weighing it over, he still did not dare reveal his identity and said through the pain, "Great King, there are many rare treasures in my cave dwelling, offerings from the King of the Vermilion Purple Kingdom. I am willing to trade them for my life."

Duke looked disdainful. "Hmph. Those treasures you mentioned are nothing but scraps of metal I passed over back then. Only you would treat them like treasure."

Sai Taisui felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart and viciously cursed the King of the Vermilion Purple Kingdom inwardly. But Duke was not finished. "Besides, if I wanted that scrap metal, would I need you to offer it with both hands? If I simply took it by force, what could you do about it?"

Sai Taisui was left speechless. But upon thinking it over, there really was some sense in it. Helplessly, he said, "I am no match for you, Great King. Whatever you say goes. What do you think of my magical treasure, the Purple Gold Bell? If it catches your eye, take it."

"Trash!"

The Purple Gold Bell had been made by Grand Supreme Elder Lord at Guanyin Bodhisattva's request. Put plainly, it was a pet collar, no different from tying a bell around a dog's neck.
