"Think you can leave?!" The furious roar rang out again. Even Li Jing was shaken by it, and he spat out a mouthful of blood that splattered across the clouds outside the South Heaven Gate.
"Fall back!" Li Jing still remembered to warn the heavenly generals behind him, but it was already too late.
Sun Wukong's face reappeared from the void created by the Magic Spell. This time, he no longer looked like the Handsome Monkey King. He had transformed completely into a demon monkey with a pointed snout and fangs!

Ye Chen tried to fly up and stop him, but before he could even take off, Sun Wukong made his next move. He raised one foot high, then brought it down with tremendous force.
