Yellow Wind King's sudden appearance left Guanyin Bodhisattva somewhat bewildered.
She had not been waiting for Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, yet Yellow Wind King had shown up instead.
And how did he know she was Guanyin Bodhisattva in disguise?
Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly had a bad feeling. It seemed things had once again gone beyond her expectations.
She was Guanyin Bodhisattva of Buddhism, yet now a demon was pointing at her and questioning her. Her expression immediately turned cold as she revealed her true form.
"Bold! You know who I am, yet you still refuse to kneel and worship!"
Under normal circumstances, Yellow Wind King would definitely have knelt upon seeing Guanyin Bodhisattva, much less dared point at her and question her like this.
But he had been drinking, and he was starting to feel the alcohol hit him.
He felt as though he were already invincible beneath the heavens, as if the Three Realms belonged to him.
"Haha, Guanyin Bodhisattva is exactly who I came looking for."
Yellow Wind King burst into laughter, radiating a domineering air as though no one else in the world mattered.
"Boys, hack her to death!"
The little demons howled as they charged forward.
At the same time, a violent gale rose, sending sand and stones flying.
Yellow Wind King began blowing as well.
This is bad! Guanyin Bodhisattva was startled.
Although her cultivation was far above Yellow Wind King's, he was wielding the Samadhi Divine Wind. Ordinary immortals and gods could not withstand it at all.
Other than Lingji Bodhisattva's Wind-Calming Pearl, it could be said to have no weakness whatsoever.
Guanyin Bodhisattva never expected Yellow Wind King to suddenly attack her, much less accurately locate the farmhouse courtyard where she had transformed herself.
Her heart was full of questions, but there was no time to think about them now.
Dealing with the immediate crisis was the top priority.
Yet the Samadhi Divine Wind was not something an ordinary person could resist.
Guanyin Bodhisattva could already feel her head spinning. She had been hit.
"Haha... Watch me blow you to death."
Seeing even Guanyin Bodhisattva fall into a disadvantage beneath his Samadhi Divine Wind, Yellow Wind King laughed loudly. He immediately felt like he had made it, like he had risen to his feet and no longer feared anything.
Western Heaven.
Great Thunderclap Monastery.
The Buddhas who witnessed this scene nearly had their eyes pop out.
Why had Yellow Wind King suddenly attacked Guanyin Bodhisattva for no reason?
Tathagata Buddha's expression was ashen. If his guess was correct, it had to be the work of that variable again.
But he could not understand how that variable had managed to sweet-talk a fool like Yellow Wind King onto his pirate ship.
The fool had actually become so outrageously bold that he even dared confront a Bodhisattva.
"Lingji, Yellow Wind King excels at the Samadhi Divine Wind. Other than your Wind-Calming Pearl, it has no counter. Go assist Venerable Guanyin and capture that demon," Tathagata Buddha ordered.
Couldn't they see that Guanyin was about to be unable to hold on? If Lingji Bodhisattva did not go now, Buddhism might lose a Bodhisattva.
Buddhism had yet to flourish, and it already had few believers. Losing a Bodhisattva now would be an even greater loss.
"I obey Buddha's decree."
Lingji Bodhisattva accepted the decree and hurried toward the lower realm.
Heavenly Court.
The gods also watched this scene in disbelief. The Buddhist Sect had arranged the tribulation so carefully, so how had it ended up falling upon the Buddhist Sect itself?
What kind of madness had seized Yellow Wind King, making him so outrageously bold?
The Jade Emperor remained calm, but a faint, imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
Interesting.
He suddenly felt as though the Buddhist Sect had lifted a stone only to smash its own foot.
How many years had the Buddhist Sect spent preparing for this Journey to the West Tribulation?
All for the sake of Buddhism's prosperity.
Yet not long after it began, unexpected changes had already occurred one after another.
Of all the tribulations they had arranged, only a handful had been completed so far.
Still, the Jade Emperor was more than happy to see the Buddhist Sect suffer.
Thirty-third Heaven.
Taishang Laojun could not help but chuckle when he saw this scene.
"This should be enough to give the Buddhist Sect a headache."
The overall tide of the Journey to the West had originally been unchangeable, a certainty, but who could have expected a variable like Tang Yu to appear?
At this rate, it seemed the Buddhist Sect would have a difficult time completing the Journey to the West Tribulation and ushering in its prosperity.
Lower Realm.
Yellow Wind King continued howling as he blew, while Guanyin Bodhisattva had already suffered some injuries.
She looked rather bedraggled now. Her white robes were stained with sand and dust, leaving her dirty and disheveled.
Whoooooosh...
Yet the wind unknowingly began to weaken before gradually vanishing altogether.
Hmm?
What was going on?
Yellow Wind King blew hard twice more. A faint breeze swept past, like he had merely farted.
Yellow Wind King took two deep breaths and felt stars dancing before his eyes.
He had blown himself oxygen-deprived.
Sure enough, both bragging and blowing took a lot of effort.
Guanyin Bodhisattva emerged awkwardly from nearby.
"Pah."
She spat out the sand that had blown into her mouth and shouted furiously, "Bold demon! You actually dared attack me!"
"Haha, I'm the one who blew—"
His laughter came to an abrupt stop as Yellow Wind King looked beside Guanyin Bodhisattva.
At some point, a bald monk had appeared beside Guanyin Bodhisattva, holding a gleaming little pearl as he smiled at Yellow Wind King.
Lingji Bodhisattva!
The Wind-Calming Pearl!
He was screwed.
Cold sweat streamed down Yellow Wind King's forehead. Amid his terror, the alcohol fully wore off, and he recalled everything he had done.
Yellow Wind King's vision spun, and he nearly collapsed headfirst onto the ground.
Oh, mother of mine.
What had I done? I actually fought a Bodhisattva.
Damn it all!
That bald monk had fooled him!
As the alcohol cleared from his head, Yellow Wind King instantly understood. The little brother he had just acknowledged had tricked him.
But it was already too late to beg for mercy.
Yellow Wind King turned around and ran.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva shouted coldly.
Yellow Wind King stuck out his butt and let out a fart, immediately filling the air with a foul stench.
The smell made Guanyin Bodhisattva roll her eyes.
Taking advantage of that moment, Yellow Wind King ran at top speed, not even bothering with the little demons behind him.
He ran quickly, but the little demons were slow.
With a wave of Guanyin Bodhisattva's hand, they were all reduced to ashes.
She would vent some of her anger on these little demons first.
As for Yellow Wind King, she would not spare him either.
The outcome was obvious. Before Yellow Wind King could even make it back to his Yellow Wind Cave—
the two Bodhisattvas found him. With Lingji Bodhisattva's Wind-Calming Pearl assisting her, dealing with Yellow Wind King was effortless.
Guanyin Bodhisattva directly beat him until his soul scattered and his spirit dissipated.
Humiliating. Far too humiliating.
A demon had made her look so miserable, and even worse, he had blasted her with a fart.
Guanyin Bodhisattva now felt too ashamed to face the Buddhas of Western Heaven.
With a dark expression, she returned directly to Mount Putuo of the South Sea.
Lingji Bodhisattva was also preparing to return to Spirit Mountain and report back. However, at the place where Yellow Wind King had died, a pack of cigarettes lay quietly on the ground.
With a wave of his hand, the cigarettes flew into his grasp.
He was no stranger to them, since he often saw Tang Sanzang holding one in his mouth through the Mystic Light Mirror, wearing an expression of deep enjoyment.
After hesitating briefly, he took one out, placed it between his lips, lit it with fire, and took a puff...
