Cough cough cough!

"Sir, a madman just emerged from the Mahabodhi Temple, and he's been chasing us and trying to kill us!"

"Cough cough cough, the smoke from this silver-topped cigarette is too strong, I can't see anything clearly!"

"He's a madman, a really crazy madman. He yells at us to kill us whenever he sees us!"

"What's wrong? The Green Lion King's roar was a bit loud, I didn't hear it clearly!"

"You're insane!"

The Deer Demon King found communication extremely difficult.

Among this group of demon kings, the elephant demon Nusina was in charge of communication. Nusina was of average strength and only knew how to fight recklessly, but she had lived with a king and made many acquaintances, and she had an extremely high talent for languages.

As for the Deer Demon King and other demons, their abilities in this area were so-so. Although they had learned some words through hearsay, they had only spent one night with Zhang Xuezhou and the others, so it was too difficult to expect them to communicate fluently.

After exchanging a few words, the Deer Demon King heard Nuxina crying and screaming for her life outside the Mahabodhi Temple, and then the Pixiu King interrupted.

"Dongfang Shuo, I have enemies all over here. I'll lure them away first!"

Nusina couldn't hold on any longer and had to escape, Buddha Son Shigong was clearly not faring much better.

After a chaotic and violent fight, the Buddha Son Shigong leaped far away, took another blow from the Peng Demon King's halberd, and then rolled to the makeshift shed of the monks in the distance.

He shouted, but dared not flee on horseback. Instead, he chose to move and dodge in small areas, trying to separate the hordes of demon kings as much as possible.

"Damn it! These demon kings used to each have their own territory, and none of them Qi Ingestion the others. They were like fools waiting for us to deal with them. How did they all end up together today!"

Few demons in Xiniu Hezhou have inherited demonic arts. Most demon kings rely on their innate Divine Ability to fight, and other methods include biting. This kind of strength has a strong drawback: if they are targeted or schemed against, they will inevitably perish.

However, while the demons lacked the means to achieve their goals, their sheer numbers directly compensated for this deficiency.

The eight great demons each possessed eight different types of demonic arts, and even the weakest of them, Nusina, could not withstand a direct confrontation.

When the clumsy elephant demon rolled over and collided with his body, even the Buddha Son Shigong could not bear it. When he was cut down by the Roc Demon King's halberd, his body inevitably felt numb as if he had been electrocuted.

The Buddha Son Shigong could only shout and flee for his life, neglecting even his companions who were heading to the Western Kunlun Holy Land.

"Buddha Son Shigong... Hey!"

Only after seeing that Buddha Son Shigong had fled far away did Zhang Xuezhou urge him on.

"Hurry and catch up with him!" Zhang Xuezhou shouted. "Why are you getting the Buddha Son Shigong?"

"It wasn't us who attacked him, it was him who rushed out and attacked us!" one of the Fox King's bodies replied. "We didn't even know what was happening before he attacked us. If I hadn't been quick enough to split into two, my head would probably have been chopped off!"

"He couldn't have hit you first; you must have done something!"

"We didn't do anything!"

Zhang Xuezhou was already troubled by these powerful demon kings before he came to the Mahabodhi Temple, and he was still troubled by them now that he was preparing to leave.

If peaceful coexistence is not possible, the fate of Buddha Son Shigong was hunted down, serves as a cautionary tale.

Zhang Xuezhou's body was even less agile than that of the Buddha Son Shigong, so he would be caught up by the Peng Demon King even faster.

Now that we've fought each other, things are much easier to discuss.

"You've beaten up the Buddha Son Shigong, how am I supposed to ask him for help now?" Zhang Xuezhou shouted. "Quickly, bring the monk back, don't hurt him!"

"Is this madman really a Buddha Son Shigong?"

"I'm going to poop! I'm going to poop!"

"If someone from the Western Sect isn't beaten to death, a whole bunch of them will come looking for them the next day. Nobody can withstand them!"

"Should we kill him or what?"

The demons panicked for a moment, and then the Nine Mouths of the King of Ten Thousand Foxes opened their mouths simultaneously.

They originally came to ask for help, but ended up getting beaten up in a confused way, and are even still chasing after the Buddha Son Shigong. The demons felt that things were going to be difficult.

The Rakshasa King and the Pixiu King even wondered if they should simply and cleanly kill the Buddha Son Shigong, and then find a place to hide.

"Green Lion King, Yellow Lion King, quickly shout a few words to stop them from fighting," Zhang Xuezhou suggested.

"What did you say?" the Green Lion King asked. "I didn't understand!"

"I told you to shout something to stop them from fighting!"

"The adults told us to call more people to beat the Buddha Son Shigong to death!"

"They're friends, they wouldn't do something like that, would they?"

"Sir, you're doing this for our own good. You'd rather kill your friends than let us be unsafe!"

"Then let's work together properly?"

"Let's beat the Buddhist disciple half to death first!"

"Stop holding back, let's all attack together!"

After a flurry of chatter, Zhang Xuezhou realized that things were gradually spiraling out of control.

He said something, but the demon kings only caught half of it. Due to the lack of effective communication during their rapid exchange, things went wrong.

There were quite a few demon kings who had been watching the fight from the sidelines. For example, the Green Lion King and the Yellow Lion King only targeted the middle-aged Tibetan monk, while the Rakshasa King, the Pixiu King, and the Deer Demon King did not join the battle.

After a brief discussion, the demon kings immediately sped off and took to the air, joining the group chasing after the Buddha Son Shigong, Master Shi.

"One, two, three, four, King of Ten Thousand Foxes, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven..."

If he were to face a combined attack from numerous demon kings, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he had no other option but to escape using his Technique Within the Clouds.

Technique Within the Clouds is targeted by the Peng Demon King, he will have no way out.

The Buddha Son Shigong's figure was as graceful as it had been in the Greater Yuezhi Kingdom. Even when attacked by the combined forces of the demon kings, he managed to hold on. His martial arts were extremely suitable for melee combat and difficult to hit. Zhang Xuezhou admired this ability.

"I am coming!"

When the fleeing elephant demon Nusina returned to join them, her enormous body crashing down like a city wall, Zhang Xuezhou realized that the Buddha Son Shigong had met his nemesis.

Even the most agile footwork and the most stylish Movement Method have their limits; they can't withstand the elephant demon's massive body charging back and forth.

In particular, the Green Lion King and the Yellow Lion King seemed to have also discovered the drawback of the Buddha Son Shigong, and thus also chose to rely on their demonic bodies to run back and forth and weave through the enemy lines.

"This is outrageous!"

Having just dodged Nusina, he was unexpectedly struck by the Green Lion King, and then sent flying by the Yellow Lion King's cross-shaped attack. The Buddha Son Shigong was hit hard in the chest and back, and couldn't help but cry out in pain.

He looked utterly unwilling.

He encountered a complete fool willing to take him to the Western Kunlun Holy Land to make some money, but the Buddha Son Shigong never expected to be so unlucky, as he was about to be killed as soon as he stepped out of the temple gate.

This feeling of falling from heaven to hell was unbearable for him.

"Your skills are not bad!"

When the Roc Demon King struck the Buddha Son Shigong with his halberd, the Buddha Son Shigong felt a heat in his chest and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

He was a brave fighter, but his methods were limited to that.

Once his most advantageous martial art is broken, and his physical agility is also countered, Buddha Son Shigong has no special methods to use.

He reached up and touched his forehead; the flesh in the center of his forehead slowly writhed, and a vertical eye appeared and disappeared.

"Stop fighting! We're friends, please stop!"

Buddha Son Shigong was about to unleash his Divine Ability to try and drag one or two demon kings down with him, Zhang Xuezhou came running from afar to mediate the fight.

"Dongfang Shuo, come quickly and lend a hand, let's escape together!"

Seeing that reinforcements were coming, although Buddha Son Shigong had no idea what Zhang Xuezhou's abilities were, he had a sliver of hope and did not continue to use his supernatural Divine Ability to take himself down with him.

"Stop fighting! If you keep going, you'll beat Buddha Son Shigong to death!"

Zhang Xuezhou shouted, and Nuxina muttered something in a daze.

"So this is the Buddha Son Shigong. These high-ranking members of the Western Sect aren't invincible after all," Nusina murmured.

"The Buddhist disciple doesn't seem as terrifying as the rumors suggest!"

"They're not scary, but what's scary is that they can call in dozens or even hundreds of people at once to arrest us. Who can withstand that!"

"It's only because we run fast that we've lived this long!"

The demon kings chattered amongst themselves, while the Roc Demon King looked at the halberd in his hand, then at the Buddha Son Shigong was coughing up blood and staggering backward. He felt that the matter of protecting the command token was likely to fall through.
