Chapter 98: Great Battle With Red Boy
However, Ao Tu used the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones supernatural power, with three streams of qi flying out from the top of his head, transforming into three people, each with different karma and origins.
One was in the appearance of a monk, sitting on a Golden Lotus, wearing a Kassaya, chanting Sutras, with a compassionate expression, saying: “This poor monk is the Spirit Mountain King Buddha.”
One was in the appearance of a Daoist Priest, wearing a golden crown and a dragon-tiger robe, with a humble expression, saying: “This poor Daoist is Fu Zhu Zhen Shi Tian Zun.”
The last one wore a blood robe, sat on a Black Lotus, held a Soul Scattering Gourd, with an arrogant posture, laughing loudly: “This King is the Sea of Blood Supreme Saint · Maha End Lord · Sea of Blood Great King!”
Ao Tu laughed: “Thank you, three friends, for your assistance. The Demon Dragon Ao Tu died from a sword wound. Tiger Vanguard, White Bone Spirit, from now on, you two follow the Sea of Blood Great King.”
Tiger Vanguard and White Bone Spirit knelt on one knee and said: “Yes!”
Below, Red Boy held the Fire-Tipped Spear, single-handedly fighting against one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.
One spear thrust flipped over the Fire Department Great God Urgency Like Fire, one kick sent the Wind God Speed Like Wind flying, the Plague God Mist in Cloud released plague mist, but Red Boy was unafraid and leaped forward to defeat the Plague God.
Heavenly Dipper Star Xing Hong Jian and Earthly Fiend Star Shen Jian Hong Xing came at Red Boy with furious evil energy, but Red Boy defeated them with a barrage of spear techniques, shattering them like dry weeds and rotten wood.
Clever Worm swung a staff at him, but Red Boy swept it with one spear thrust, breaking the willow staff.
Fine Ghost disguised as Li Tianwang, scared shitless, fled outward.
Red Boy said: “Not like, not like, how could the main general flee?”
Fine Ghost said: “Great King, you don’t know, in that great battle back then, one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals fought with our family’s Spirit Mountain Great King until the sky darkened and the earth shook, sun and moon without light. At that time, that Pagoda-Bearing Li Tianwang fled just like this, we little ones are just acting it out faithfully.”
Red Boy said: “Not satisfying, not satisfying. Next time, call those Mountain Gods and Earth Gods too.”
Fine Ghost said: “Great King, those Mountain Gods and Earth Gods are all useless cowards, I’m afraid they won’t dare come.”
Red Boy said: “Insolent!”
Clever Worm hurriedly said: “Great King, calm your anger. I heard that Tang Sanzang and his disciples have left Wuji Kingdom and are about to arrive here!”
Fine Ghost said: “That’s right, Great King. Why not capture Tang Sanzang, and then have a real fight with those gods and immortals from Heaven.”
Red Boy looked at the two, eyes rolling, saying: “I see, you want to borrow my hand to avenge your old Great King!”
Fine Ghost and Clever Worm immediately knelt and said: “Great King, we little ones dare not deceive you. Our family’s Greatest Great King and Second Great King have no news, we two indeed have the intention to ask the Great King to take revenge.”
Fine Ghost said: “Also, if Great King captures Tang Sanzang and becomes enemies with the Heavenly Court, our family’s Greatest Great King will surely come to help Great King fight together upon hearing of it!”
Clever Worm said: “Exactly. Before, when our family’s Greatest Great King went out on business, those Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals took the chance to occupy Lotus Cave, leaving our entire cave’s old and young homeless. Our family’s Greatest Great King must hate them to the bone too!”
Red Boy nodded: “Your family’s Greatest Great King is the legendary Spirit Mountain Great King senior?”
Fine Ghost said: “Exactly, Great King, it’s the Spirit Mountain Great King you’ve always especially wanted to meet.”
Clever Worm said: “You spread the word that you’re going to capture Tang Sanzang, and he’ll definitely come upon hearing it.”
Red Boy laughed: “Good, then I’ll emulate the senior and rebel against the Heavenly Court once, to see what abilities those Heavenly Soldiers and Divine Generals have, daring to sit high in the nine heavens above our heads!”
Fine Ghost and Clever Worm were overjoyed: “Great King has such boldness! Truly a young hero!”
Red Boy burst into loud laughter.
Mist in Cloud stepped forward to dissuade: “Great King, last time the old Great King just instructed you not to stir up trouble.”
Cloud in Mist also said: “Great King, the old Great King wants you to guard Mount Hao here, better not to have extraneous complications.”
Red Boy, upon hearing this, angrily said:
“Insolent, you two dare to manage me!”
Cloud in Mist and Mist in Cloud, upon hearing, hurriedly knelt on the ground, repeatedly saying:
“Great King calm your anger, we little ones spoke out of turn and offended Great King, please forgive us, Great King.”
Red Boy snorted coldly, saying:
“For the sake of you having followed me for many years, I’ll spare you this once. Get up.”
Cloud in Mist and Mist in Cloud hurriedly kowtowed in thanks.
Red Boy looked toward the mountains in the west, with a dissatisfied expression, saying:
“The old Great King is just old, not daring this, not daring that. Two years ago on his birthday, he was actually bullied by some wild monsters from Lion Camel Ridge. If not for mother stopping me, I’d have burned those three beasts with one blast of Samadhi True Fire!”
Cloud in Mist and Mist in Cloud, upon hearing, didn’t dare speak.
Fine Ghost and Clever Worm loudly flattered:
“Great King is right, what bullshit Lion Camel Ridge! Once Great King unleashes his supernatural power, he’ll surely burn that Lion Camel Ridge into Bald Head Ridge!”
“Right, burn those three bullshit Great Kings and eat them roasted!”
Red Boy was greatly pleased upon hearing, saying:
“Well said! After capturing Tang Sanzang this time and defeating the Heavenly Court Divine Generals, making a name for me! I’ll then proclaim myself Heavenly Court Great King! At that time, invite the old Great King to eat Tang Sanzang’s Flesh, see what he has to say then!”
“Hahaha, little brat is so boastful!”
A burst of laughter came.
Red Boy angrily said: “Who is it!”
Ao Tu, in a blood robe, stepped out, with Tiger Vanguard and White Bone Spirit at his side.
Fine Ghost and Clever Worm recognized Tiger Vanguard and White Bone Spirit, joyfully saying:
“Is that the Greatest Great King?”
Ao Tu lifted his blood robe, laughing:
“Your Greatest Great King is already dead. This seat is the Sea of Blood Great King!”
Red Boy exclaimed in shock: “What did you say, the Spirit Mountain senior is dead!”
Fine Ghost and Clever Worm said: “Impossible, our family’s Greatest Great King couldn’t be taken down by one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, how could he die?”
Ao Tu said: “A few days ago, this seat saw with his own eyes, he fled in panic from Heaven, suffered heavy injuries, and not long after, succumbed to his wounds and was utterly destroyed. These two are his subordinates, if you don’t believe, ask them.”
Ao Tu pointed at Tiger Vanguard and White Bone Spirit.
The two shed tears: “Indeed, our family’s Great King suffered heavy injuries and has fallen.”
Fine Ghost and Clever Worm, upon hearing, collapsed to the ground crying:
“Greatest Great King, how did you die!”
“You even said you’d stew Tang Sanzang’s Flesh for us!”
Red Boy said: “Don’t cry. Since the Spirit Mountain senior has unfortunately passed, let me inherit his old senior’s legacy. From now on, I am the Spirit Mountain Great King, hahahaha!”
Ao Tu couldn’t help but sneer upon hearing.
Red Boy angrily said: “What are you laughing at!”
Ao Tu laughed: “I laugh at you, little brat, overreaching yourself! That Spirit Mountain Great King was inferior even to me, and with your mere cat-like skills, you dare claim his title?”
Red Boy angrily said: “You sneaky rat, daring to belittle this Great King. Do you dare fight me?”
Ao Tu said: “What’s there to fear? Come at me. If I retreat one step, count it as my loss.”
Red Boy flew into a rage, gripped the Fire-Tipped Spear, and thrust at Ao Tu.
Ao Tu didn’t move his body, reached out to grab the spear tip. Red Boy exerted all his strength like nursing milk, but couldn’t budge it.
Red Boy thought in shock: This Sea of Blood Great King, thought he was some nobody, but unexpectedly his strength is like Old Bull’s.
Red Boy retreated three zhang, hammered his nose twice with his fist, black smoke sprayed from his nose, fierce fire from his mouth.
It was precisely the Samadhi True Fire supernatural power.
In an instant, thick smoke burst out, flames filled the sky, scorching heaven and earth, red-hot charcoal embers.
Tiger Vanguard and White Bone Spirit both hurriedly hid.
Ao Tu stood there, a Black Lotus appearing on his body, letting the Samadhi True Fire burn, utterly unmoved.
Red Boy burned for half a shichen, turning stones to ash, melting mountain streams, yet couldn’t burn Ao Tu in the slightest.
Red Boy was greatly shocked, thinking: Old Bull nags daily not to stir trouble, he thought it mere nagging, today he finally knows there are people beyond people, skies beyond skies.
Red Boy turned to hurriedly retreat back to the cave.
Ao Tu saw this, tossed the Black Lotus, which landed on Red Boy’s head, immediately sealing Red Boy’s primal spirit and magic power, rendering him immobile.
That crowd of little demons jumped out to rescue their Great King.
Urgency Like Fire and Speed Like Wind rushed over, Tiger Vanguard jumped down from the mountain, slapping Urgency Like Fire flying with one paw.
Speed Like Wind attacked, Tiger Vanguard used the copper head iron arm technique from the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts that Ao Tu taught him, hard-blocking Speed Like Wind’s strike, the recoil numbing Speed Like Wind all over, then Tiger Vanguard swept him flying with one tail.
Cloud in Mist and Mist in Cloud released a swath of demon mist, White Bone Spirit spread her arms, spraying a swath of black mist to counter.
Xing Hong Jian and Jian Hong Xing rushed over, beaten back by Tiger Vanguard with three punches and two kicks.
The remaining little demons saw these two monsters by the Sea of Blood Great King so ferocious, none dared approach.
Fine Ghost and Clever Worm, while others fought, crawled on the ground, quietly approaching Red Boy, reaching to pluck the Black Lotus from Red Boy’s head, but their hands passed right through.
Ao Tu laughed: “Don’t waste your effort. Red Boy, are you convinced now?”
Red Boy didn’t make a sound.
Ao Tu retrieved the Black Lotus.
Red Boy could move again, saw no Black Lotus protecting Ao Tu, opened his mouth to use Samadhi True Fire on Ao Tu again.
Ao Tu raised his hand, the Black Lotus fell on Red Boy’s head again.
Ao Tu said: “This thieving brat doesn’t follow the code of honor. Tiger Vanguard, bind him hogtied and hang him up, give him fifty staff blows first!”
Tiger Vanguard took a rope, hung Red Boy up, took a section of broken tree trunk to beat Red Boy.
Tiger Vanguard asked: “Great King, beat where?”
Ao Tu said: “Beat his ass!”
Tiger Vanguard said: “Yes!”
Swung the tree trunk, solidly delivering fifty blows.
Ao Tu then removed the Black Lotus again.
Red Boy, holding back tears, said:
“Sea of Blood Great King, you bully me like this, when my father and mother find out, they’ll surely come to avenge me.”
Ao Tu laughed: “Red Boy, you were the first to break the code, sneaking attacking me first. I merely punish you slightly, what’s wrong with that? Running to your parents like this, truly shameless, not the act of a true man.”
Red Boy, upon hearing, felt Ao Tu was right, and said:
“Fine, my skills are inferior, dispose of me as you will. Just don’t take my life. My father Bull Demon King has only me this one son, he’ll rely on me for old age care in the future. If I die, it’d make him a white-haired person sending off a black-haired one, the greatest unfiliality!”
Ao Tu laughed upon hearing: “You thieving brat, yet you have some filial piety. Rest assured, I’m not here to take your life, I’m here to save your life.”
Red Boy said: “I’m only three hundred years old this year, no illness no disaster, what life of mine are you saving?”
Ao Tu said: “Just now I heard you boasting below about eating Tang Sanzang’s Flesh, becoming Heavenly Court Great King. You truly don’t know there are people beyond people, skies beyond skies.
Those immortals of Heaven, even the lowest rank have magic power like mine. With your level of cultivation, you’re just a bit stronger than those Heavenly Soldiers. How dare you spout such bold words?”
