A Contest of Weapons
This will render my enemy incapacitated.
If you don't understand, just think back to the punch we exchanged just now, and you'll understand.
Sun Wukong answered the Demon Tiger Demon King's question with some confusion.
Why do I have such a sharp tongue?
After hearing what Sun Wukong said, the Blurred Demon King immediately felt a little regretful, and then slapped himself twice on the face.
"Demon Tiger Demon King, what's wrong with you? Why are you hitting yourself?"
Seeing the Demon Tiger Demon King in this state, Sun Wukong asked in confusion.
"It's nothing, I just had an itchy mouth."
The Demon Tiger Demon King said with a mournful face.
"Now that you've chosen your weapon, let's go out and have a fight."
The Demon Tiger Demon King immediately changed the subject, pulling Sun Wukong toward the cave entrance.
After both sides got into position, the Demon Tiger Demon King made the first move.
"Take this!"
After running a few steps with Sun Wukong, the Demon Fox Demon King suddenly leaped into the air, its belly bulging forward, almost turning into a crescent moon. Then, with all its might, it slashed at Sun Wukong's head with its sword.
Sun Wukong stood still, holding his staff above his head, ready to take the Demon Tiger Demon King's blow head-on.
Clang~
In an instant, the two weapons collided, producing a deafening sound.
At this moment, the Demon Tiger Demon King's face was extremely ferocious, as if he had used all his strength to launch this attack. In contrast, Sun Wukong still looked relaxed and carefree, as if catching the Demon Tiger Demon King's attack with both hands was a waste of his energy.
The Demon Tiger Demon King drew his sword and retreated. Sun Wukong chased after him with his staff, but unexpectedly, the Fierce Tiger Demon King suddenly stopped, turned around, and swung his sword upwards with his hands behind his back. If this strike had hit, it would have probably cleaved Sun Wukong's face in two.
Sun Wukong reacted with lightning speed, quickly dodging the blow by sidestepping. Then, wielding his staff in one hand, he thrust it towards the Demon Tiger Demon King's head.
However, the Demon Tiger Demon King caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of his eye, and the Blurred Medicine King immediately rolled to the ground. After getting up, he drew his sword and struck Sun Wukong 'Sun Wukong staff directly, sending it flying into the air. Then, he charged at Sun Wukong with his sword.
The Demon Tiger Demon King suddenly thrust his blade straight at Sun Wukong's throat. Sun Wukong reacted swiftly, clasping his hands together to catch the blade. He then deflected the attack and punched the Blurred Demon King Demon Tiger Demon King the face. Unable to dodge in time, Blurred Demon King Demon Tiger Demon King was struck in the left eye, which instantly swelled up.
The Demon Tiger Demon King took the punch head-on, then swung his blade back, aiming straight for Sun Wukong's head. Sun Wukong raised his hand to block, but the Demon Tiger Demon King sliced off a piece of his skin.
The Demon Tiger Demon King did not continue to entangle with Sun Wukong. He jumped back a few steps to create distance between himself and Sun Wukong, while Sun Wukong jumped up and caught the falling staff. After twirling it a few times in his hand, he charged towards the Demon Tiger Demon King with the staff in his hand.
Sun Wukong leaped up in front of the Demon Tiger Demon King, wielding his staff with both hands and slashing straight at his head, just like the Demon Tiger Demon King had done to Sun Wukong earlier. But it was uncertain whether the Demon Tiger Demon King could withstand Sun Wukong's blow.
The Demon Fox Demon King, wielding his swords in both hands, raised them to block. Sun Wukong's downward strike was identical to the Sun Wukong had just used to block his own attack, but this time the outcome was different.
The previous duel between the two was blurry; the Demon King's blade struck Sun Wukong's staff, and the two fought for quite a while before the Demon Tiger Demon King finally ran out of strength to retreat. This time, however, he couldn't withstand Sun Wukong's blow at all.
The moment their weapons clashed, he was forced to kneel on one knee by Sun Wukong's strength.
At this moment, the Demon Tiger Demon King had clearly unleashed his power, but Sun Wukong had not. Instead, Sun Wukong struck down again with all his might, and the Blurred Demon King finally could not withstand it. He was hit on the shoulder by Sun Wukong's staff and fell backward.
At this moment, Sun Wukong drew his staff and pointed it directly at his face, asking him if he admitted defeat.
"I lost."
The Demon Tiger Demon King had intended to struggle to his feet and compete with Sun Wukong again, but when he realized he didn't even have the strength to move a finger, he let out a long sigh and completely admitted defeat.
"I lost. As agreed, you can take all these little monkeys with you."
After a short while, the Blurred Demon King spoke to Sun Wukong.
"Then thank you very much Demon Tiger Demon King."
Sun Wukong thanked him.
"It's nothing, just a matter of accepting the consequences of a bet."
The Demon Tiger Demon King waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing to mention.
"Zhuzi, do you still remember me?"
Sun Wukong arrived at the monkey troop, found his childhood playmate, and spoke to him.
"You're the Stone Monkey who went out to find your relatives more than ten years ago to learn the art of Changsheng. You're so powerful now, you must have already mastered it."
Unlike the Mutou before, the Zhuzi didn't take a long time to remember Sun Wukong.
"Almost. I'll use my Somersault Cloud to take you back to our new home. It's spacious and the environment is much better, hundreds or even thousands of times better than where we lived before."
As he spoke, Sun Wukong summoned his Somersault Cloud and took them up on it, preparing to return to the Water Curtain Cave.
"Now that you've come to me to rescue these little monkeys, I suppose you'll go to my eldest brother and third brother's place to rescue them next."
"My third brother captured them to be servants or food. Even if you kill him, I won't avenge him. I only regret that I misjudged him and became sworn brothers with such a guy."
"However, if you go to my elder brother's place, you might see some monkeys that have already begun cultivating, and some with good aptitude are about to become spirits. My elder brother captured these monkeys back then to test some things. He gave some Cultivation Method to these monkeys and let them cultivate to become spirits, just to test which demons in our waist have the best aptitude."
"If the monkeys at my older brother's place haven't suffered any losses, could I please ask you to let him go?"
Seeing that Sun Wukong was about to leave, and with so many little monkeys in tow, the Demon Tiger Demon King guessed what he was going to do next. He immediately began to plead for his elder brother, because in his eyes, the pressure Sun Wukong exerted on him was dozens of times greater than that on his elder brother.
"You don't need to worry about that. If your elder brother didn't harm my fellow Monkey Clan, then after I have a match with him, I will take them away without harming a single hair on your elder brother's head."
"And what about that third brother you mentioned, the Red Fox Demon King, right? I've already been there. He enslaved my people and fed them to them. I've already killed him."
Sun Wukong agreed to the Demon Tiger Demon King's request and also told the Blurred Demon King that he had killed the Red Fox Demon King.
"I warned this guy long ago not to kill innocent people indiscriminately. He deserved to die now."
