Wukong broke the Golden Cymbals and rescued Erlang.
The Yellow-Browed Old Demon fled outside in blind panic.
Wukong and Erlang exchanged a smile, each using the supernatural ability Heaven-Escaping, Earth-Embracing to grow ten thousand zhang tall, their heads touching the blue sky and their feet planted upon the earth.
A pair of legs stood upon the ground like two great mountains, blocking the Yellow-Browed Old Demon's path.
The Yellow-Browed Old Demon could only flee back the way he had come.
Wukong blocked off his retreat.
With no way forward or back, the Yellow-Browed Old Demon could not escape.
Erlang brought his great foot down to crush the Yellow-Browed Old Demon beneath it.
The Yellow-Browed Old Demon could only dodge in disarray.
Wukong was a monkey by birth. As a youngster, he had gone into the mountains with the other monkeys to pick fruit, dig up ant nests, catch butterflies, and steal honey, all of which he excelled at. His eyes were therefore sharp and his hands quick. Seeing the Yellow-Browed Old Demon scurrying and dodging like a tiny insect, he pinched his fingers together and caught him in his hand.
The Four Sages, the great marshals watching over the battle, all came forward at the sight.
One rode Bian, one rode Suanni, one rode a spotted leopard, and one rode Zhengning; each had an extraordinary presence and the bearing of a divine general.
The four said, "Great Sage, now that you have captured the demon, hand him over to us so we can take him to the Heavenly Court and report the fulfillment of our orders."
Wukong said, "Why bother reporting back over a demon like this? Better to kill him and be done with it."
The four nodded. "His Majesty ordered his extermination. Killing him will do."
Delighted to
