A Contest with the Demon Tiger Demon King

"I see you're a monkey demon too, right, Great Immortal? You must be here to rescue those little monkeys who were captured by the Fierce Tiger Demon King a few years ago to catch fish for him!"

"Don't worry, their lives here are no worse than before. They only need to go out and catch fish for the Demon Tiger Demon King for two hours each day. The rest of the time they can play as they please. Moreover, the Demon Tiger Demon King has ordered that his subordinates are not allowed to bully these new monkeys. You don't need to worry about them being bullied in any way."

"If the Great Immortal wants those little monkeys to avenge them, could you only defeat and injure the Demon Tiger Demon King, and not kill him? He hasn't done anything bad since he became a demon, and he's been quite kind to us little demons under his command, as well as those little monkeys who were captured not long ago."

At this moment, Heng Lang, one of the Heng and Ha, the Two Generals, guessed Sun Wukong's purpose and told him that the little monkeys were living quite well here. He also pleaded with Sun Wukong not to kill the Demon Tiger Demon King.

"Yes, please don't kill the Demon Tiger Demon King. He's been really good to us little demons."

Ha Lang was rather slow to react, immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly after hearing that Sun Wukong might kill the Demon Tiger Demon King, begging for mercy.

"I never imagined the Demon Tiger Demon King would be such a monster, so much so that his subordinates coveted him. But is he really as good as they say? Are they lying to me? Maybe I should check on my Monkey Clan brethren first."

Seeing the Heng and Ha, the Two Wolves' appearance, Sun Wukong was skeptical of the Demon Tiger Demon King they had mentioned, but he didn't rush into his cave directly. Instead, he planned to sneak in quietly to see if the Demon Tiger Demon King was as good as they said.

"I'll go in first and see if that Demon Tiger Demon King is as good as you two say. If he is, I'll teach him a lesson, take my Monkey Clan members with me, and spare his life. But if I find out you're deceiving me, then not only will the Demon King die, but you will both die too."

After careful consideration, Sun Wukong expressed his opinion.

"Great Immortal, everything we've said is true. If even half of it is false, may we be struck by lightning!"

"Great Immortal, please go and take a look. If it's blurry, or if it's not as good as we said, then just go ahead and do it."

The Heng and Ha, the Two Wolves, patted their chests and assured Sun Wukong.

"I will trust you for now."

After saying this, Sun Wukong sneaked into the Blurred Tiger Demon King's cave. After he went in, he soon arrived at the space where the Demon Tiger Demon King was. The Demon Tiger Demon King was sitting in the head seat, and there was a pile of roasted fish on the table in front of him. He was happily eating them, one in each hand.

On its left and right sides were rows of lesser demons eating the food in front of them, while its Monkey Clan brethren sat behind them, each monkey having its own food, seemingly distributed by the Demon Tiger Demon King.

Moreover, none of the monkeys had any injuries or anything on them. They were in excellent spirits, and each monkey's fur was shiny and glossy. Sun Wukong even found his childhood playmate, Zhu Zhuzi, among these monkeys. Zhu Zi was grabbing two peaches and munching on them.

"It seems those two wolves at the gate weren't lying to me after all. This Demon Tiger Demon King has no other hobbies besides eating fish, and judging from his appearance, he treats his subordinates quite well and hasn't harmed my fellow Monkey Clan."

After witnessing this scene, Sun Wukong confirmed that the Demon Tiger Demon King was indeed a good demon, just as the Heng and Ha, the Two Wolves, had said.

"Demon Tiger Demon King, let's have a fight. If I win, I'll take all these little monkeys with me. If you win, I'll find some little demons to catch fish for you in their place."

Sun Wukong walked slowly toward the Demon Tiger Demon King, his voice preceding his arrival.

"Who goes there? State your name."

The Demon Tiger Demon King, who was chewing on a fish, mumbled incoherently.

"I am Sun Wukong of the Monkey Clan, and I have come here today to take all these little monkeys away."

Sun Wukong was very polite, introducing himself and explaining his purpose.

"If you want to take these little monkeys away, then fight me as you said. If you win, you can take them; if you lose, you must find me a new batch of little demons to help me catch fish in exchange for them."

"But I have to finish my meal first. I need to be full to have the energy to compete."

After saying this, without waiting for Sun Wukong's reply, the Demon Tiger Demon King lowered his head and began to gnaw on the grilled fish again.

"OK."

Sun Wukong was not angry, but instead began to meditate, waiting for the Demon Fox Demon King to finish his meal.

About half an hour later, the Demon Tiger Demon King finished eating the grilled fish in front of him and prepared to start a contest with Sun Wukong.

"Ready? Then I'll begin."

Sun Wukong looked up and saw that the Demon Tiger Demon King had finished eating the fish and was now rubbing his hands together, eager to fight.

"Hey, hey, what's the rush? Nobody holds a competition in someone else's house. Let's go to the open space near the cave entrance and have a proper match there."

Upon seeing Sun Wukong's Blurred Demon King quickly stopped him, fearing that he might damage any of the plants in his home.

"Stop dawdling."

After saying this, Sun Wukong walked towards the cave entrance.

The Blurred Demon King followed closely behind.

"Since you've come here to challenge me, I won't bully you. How about I give you a handicap?"

After the two got into position, the Blurred Demon King spoke to Sun Wukong.

"Alright, then you'd better be careful." Sun Wukong didn't hold back either, and immediately used his strength. Then, he exerted force with his legs and kicked out with half of his power, punching towards the Demon Tiger Demon King.

At first, the Demon Tiger Demon King didn't take Sun Wukong seriously, but after witnessing the power of Sun Wukong's punch, he had to start to take Sun Wukong seriously.

Sun Wukong's punch was aimed straight at his face. He quickly crossed his arms to block it. After Sun Wukong's punch hit his arms, he realized that this guy was no pushover.

Sun Wukong's punch was extremely powerful, directly causing the Demon Tiger Demon King to stagger back several steps before he could barely withstand it.

Then Sun Wukong moved his body in mid-air and stepped on the Blurred Demon King, creating distance between them.

"I didn't expect this brother to be so strong. I underestimated him. To show my respect, it seems I'll have to use my full strength."

After witnessing Sun Wukong's strength, the Demon Tiger Demon King also began to take things seriously.

Bring it on!

Sun Wukong grinned and said to the Demon Tiger Demon King.

"Then you'd better be careful."

After the Demon Tiger Demon King finished speaking,

The Blurred Demon King ran towards Sun Wukong, leaped into the air, and then kicked straight at Sun Wukong's face.
