Spirit Mountain's Supreme Treasure, Coveted from All Sides
After hearing Tieguai Li's question, the many burly men fell into deep thought, pondering Tieguai Li's words.
"Yes! If that's really the case, what secret is West Ox Hezhou hiding?"
After a moment, a burly man spoke up, puzzled.
"Regardless, we must eliminate West Ox Hezhou as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be dire!"
Tieguai Li nodded, then waved his hand and coldly shouted, "Go! Come with me to West Ox Hezhou raze it to the ground!"
"Yes, brother! We will obey your orders!"
Everyone nodded in unison.
After saying that, the group sped off towards West Ox Hezhou.
Meanwhile, during their flight, some Yaomo from Journey to the West were secretly watching them.
This attack on Spirit Mountain is a sure thing. Once West Ox Hezhou is razed to the ground, Spirit Mountain will never be able to rise again. At that time, the entire Spirit Mountain will be theirs to Yaomo.
In their view, although West Ox Hezhou is West Ox Hezhou, it is just a small territory.
Without this small territory, their West Ox Hezhou would cease to exist. Even without West Ox Hezhou, they would still be able to kill Sun Wukong.
Thinking about this, they were incredibly excited.
"Hahaha! Sun Wukong, you're dead this time!"
A smug expression appeared on everyone's face.
In this world, anyone who can threaten Sun Wukong is someone they would kill without hesitation; that's just their nature.
Soon, Sun Wukong and West Ox Hezhou appeared within the territory of Spirit Mountain.
"Sun Wukong, I never expected you to dare appear before me! You've walked right into my trap!"
Just as Sun Wukong and West Ox Hezhou appeared at the foot of Spirit Mountain, a voice entered their ears.
Sun Wukong looked towards the source of the sound and saw a man holding Jingu Bang, exuding a strong murderous intent, standing atop Spirit Mountain, his eyes coldly fixed on Sun Wukong.
"Tieguai Li, I never imagined your injuries had healed to such a terrifying level."
Sun Wukong looked at Tieguai Li and said coldly.
"Hmph! Not bad, Sun Wukong, my cultivation has recovered to the Half-Sage realm. Now I'd like to see how long you can hold out."
Tieguai Li sneered, then waved his hand, and instantly, a black-clad man with a pair of wings appeared beside him.
This man was tall and imposing, exuding a powerful aura.
Beside this man were two young men dressed in blue robes, each carrying a long sword on their back.
The sight of three top masters gathered around Tieguai Li was incredibly awe-inspiring, leaving everyone in West Ox Hezhou utterly astonished.
"Hahaha! It seems your West Ox Hezhou has quite a rich foundation! You were able to invite three great masters to help you. However, you think you can stop me? You're just daydreaming!" Sun Wukong sneered.
"Arrogant!"
Upon hearing this, Tieguai Li flew into a rage. As he spoke, a tremendous aura surged toward Sun Wukong, causing Sun Wukong to stagger and nearly fall from mid-air.
Tieguai Li defeated Sun Wukong with a single move, which greatly shocked his subordinates.
"May Your Majesty be mighty!"
Seeing Tieguai Li defeat Sun Wukong, the burly men of West Ox Hezhou couldn't help but cheer, appearing extremely excited.
This made Sun Wukong feel that his dignity had been violated. Two terrifying beams of light shot out from his eyes. He gripped the iron rod in his hand and smashed it down on Tieguai Li. A loud bang was heard, and a powerful aftershock instantly rippled out, destroying everything within dozens of meters in front of Tieguai Li. Even the stone slabs under Tieguai Li's feet were shattered.
"Sun Wukong, I never imagined your strength would be so formidable! You truly deserve to be the leader of the Demon Race!"
Even on Tieguai Li's handsome face, a hint of apprehension appeared as he looked at Sun Wukong and exclaimed in admiration.
"Hahaha! Tieguai Li, you're not bad either. Although your cultivation has broken through to the Half-Sage level, I'm not afraid. Let's have a big fight today!"
Sun Wukong roared to the sky, then leaped into the air, bursting with a dazzling golden light. He transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards Tieguai Li, appearing before Tieguai Li in the blink of an eye. He raised his iron cudgel and slammed it down hard on Tieguai Li.
"Sun Wukong, I didn't expect you to be such a powerful monkey. But I'm not afraid. Take this, Heavenly Dragon Tail Sweep!"
Seeing Sun Wukong charging towards him, Tieguai Li was not to be outdone. He roared loudly and struck out with his palm. A golden dragon appeared behind him and crashed fiercely into Sun Wukong.
Bang bang bang!
The two attacks collided almost instantly.
A vast and powerful energy ripple spread through the air, extending outwards.
The moment Sun Wukong and Tieguai Li's attacks collided, Sun Wukong's face turned much paler, while Tieguai Li was forced to retreat violently, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"Tieguai Li, it seems your strength is far greater than I imagined."
In a single exchange of blows, Tieguai Li proved to be even stronger than Sun Wukong, leaving Sun Wukong utterly astonished.
Although Tieguai Li had previously stated that his cultivation level was one rank lower than Sun Wukong's, Sun Wukong had not expected that Tieguai Li's strength would be this formidable.
Tieguai Li's strength was so great that even he was shocked, which made Sun Wukong realize that the hope of winning in a short time was very slim.
Looking at Spirit Mountain, which had been overturned by the aftershocks of his battle with Sun Wukong, Tieguai Li sneered and said to the three masters beside him, "Third brother, second brother, eldest brother, since this guy wants to die, let's grant him his wish and join forces to kill him, lest things get complicated."
"Alright, brother, you go first!"
Upon hearing Tieguai Li's order, Tieguai Li's elder brother, Tieguai Li, spoke with an air of smug satisfaction, as if he feared nothing more than a peaceful world.
"Hmph! Tieguai Li, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You just want to take this opportunity to steal that treasure." Seeing Tieguai Li's appearance, Tieguai Li couldn't help but feel angry and embarrassed.
"Hehe! Brother, you've misunderstood me. I do indeed crave that treasure, but I would never do anything shameful, so don't worry!" Tieguai Li said shamelessly.
