Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 272 The Sorrow of the Nine-Headed Insect

The top of the Nine Heads Mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, and the confrontation between the Nine-Headed Insect and the Lion King seemed to have frozen in time.

The nine heads of the Hydra were faintly visible in the dim light, and its wings were like giant wings in the dark night, spread out in the sky thousands of feet high, exuding the power of a ghost chariot and a ferocious bird.

The Lion King, on the other hand, was as steady as a mountain, emitting an ochre-colored light all over his body, which was a symbol of his mastery of the art of earth escape.

The Lion King seemed to be closely connected with the earth, as solid as a rock.

At this point, the battle situation was temporarily at a stalemate.

The Lion King knew very well that if he stood on the ground, with the help of the "earth escape technique", he would be able to move freely between mountains and rivers like a fish in water, making it impossible for the Nine-Headed Insect to find him.

In this way, the Nine-headed Insect will not be able to do anything to him, and the Lion King will be invincible.

But this is obviously not the result that the Lion King wants.

Similarly, the Hydra also understood that although he had the advantage in the air, he would not be able to truly defeat the Lion King if he stayed there.

The two demons were both thinking about deciding the winner in this battle.

"The person who knows you best is your enemy." This sentence is particularly appropriate at this moment.

The Lion King and the Nine-Headed Insect glanced at each other and saw through each other's thoughts.

Both sides made the same decision - to fight a decisive battle in mid-air.

In this position, the Nine-Headed Insect can spread its wings and retreat to the sky at any time. Similarly, the Lion King can also escape underground at any time. Both sides have a way to retreat and an opportunity to attack.

"Roar!"

The Lion King roared angrily and rode the clouds and mist straight towards the Nine-Headed Insect.

"Gulu, Gulu, Gulu..."

The Nine-headed Insect was not to be outdone. It let out a strange cry, spread its wings and flew away, closely following the Lion King.

"clang!"

"clang!"

"clang!"

……

The two sides once again engaged in a fierce fight in the air, their weapons clashed several times in the air, creating dazzling sparks.

The sparks streaked across the sky like a meteor and quickly extinguished in the battle.

The deafening sound echoed in Jiushou Mountain, causing rocks to roll down and trees to sway.

However, even with such a fierce battle, the winner was still undecided.

Therefore, the two demons simply revealed their true forms and tested and bit each other in the most primitive and barbaric way.

The Lion King transformed into a white-haired lion king that was hundreds of feet tall. His hair was crystal clear, as if it was carved from the purest white jade, shining with a soft and mysterious light in the sun.

The White Lion King sometimes rides on the clouds and shuttles between them, and sometimes hides among the rocks of Jiushou Mountain, blending into the earth like a mountain spirit.

Every time the White Lion King suddenly rushed out of the mountain, the air around him seemed to be shocked by his power.

"Roar!"

He opened his huge mouth and let out a deafening roar. Huge pieces of rock and earth cones were pulled out by his power and shot towards the nine-headed insect in the air with a roar like cannonballs.

The Nine-Headed Insect was not willing to be outdone. It revealed its true form, and its huge body spread out in the air. Its feathers were like brocade, and its body was curled up into a cotton ball, and it was a hundred feet in radius.

Its two feet were as sharp as hooks, and its nine heads were gathered together, looking extremely ferocious.

When he spread his wings, he was even more powerful than the great roc. He was extremely good at flying and nimbly moved through the air, avoiding the attacks of the Lion King.

"Gulu, Gulu, Gulu..."

The cry of the Nine-Headed Insect became louder and shriller, like a ghost crying in the middle of the night, or like the sound of wheel wheels rolling on a rugged road, sharp and piercing, echoing among the Nine-Headed Mountain, making people feel chilled.

As the cry sounded, the Nine-Headed Insect's wings vibrated and its nine heads began to launch a fierce attack.

Some heads sprayed water, while others sprayed bloody poisonous water. The venom was like dense raindrops, shooting towards the Lion King with deadly threats.

The Lion King did not retreat in the face of the fierce attack of the Nine-Headed Insect.

He opened his huge mouth and let out a deafening roar, while waving his claws and manipulating the stone shield to block.

The stone cones and venom intertwined into a web of death in the air, and the two sides launched a thrilling confrontation.

The nine-headed bird and the white-haired lion king fought a desperate battle in mid-air. Their figures intertwined together, forming a thrilling picture.

The lion and the insect shot back and forth in the air, both suffering damage, but neither side retreated and the battle became more intense.

At this time, Xiao Chen, who was watching the battle, gradually discovered an astonishing secret of the Nine-headed Insect.

Although this nine-headed insect is called the "Nine-headed Insect", it does not actually have nine heads.

This nine-headed insect has ten heads!
His first nine heads were gathered together and clearly visible, while the tenth head was cleverly hidden at his waist. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to detect its existence at all.

The tenth head of the Nine-headed Insect can stretch and retract, and is extremely flexible, like a poisonous snake, specifically used to bite the enemy, and its venom is appalling.

"I see."

Xiao Chen thought about it.

It was probably because Zhu Bajie was suddenly attacked by the tenth head hidden around his waist and was captured.

On the battlefield.

The tenth head of the Nine-Headed Insect would occasionally split open from its waist, revealing a ferocious bloody mouth, trying to bite the Lion King.

The Lion King was obviously prepared for this. He might have suffered a similar loss before, so he remained highly vigilant against the Nine-Headed Insect's "head hidden under the waist".

"The nine-headed worm is actually a ten-headed worm."

"I think the name Nine-Headed Insect is a way for him to hide his identity and confuse his opponents."

"This nine-headed insect is quite cunning."

"When people hear the name of the Nine-Headed Insect, they all think that he only has nine heads, but he actually has a hidden head, and he uses this head to plot against you."

"When the Nine-headed Insect uses this hidden head to bite people, it is often difficult to defend against it."

Xiao Chen pondered secretly, and gained a deeper understanding of the cunningness of the Nine-headed Insect.

As the battle deepened, the contest between the Nine-Headed Insect and the Lion King entered a white-hot stage.

The two sides fought back and forth in mid-air, biting each other, tearing off pieces of bloody flesh from time to time. The scene was extremely tragic and shocking.

Sudden.

The White Jade Lion King was careless and revealed a fatal flaw.

The Nine-Headed Insect seized this opportunity, and its tenth head suddenly split open, biting the body of the White Jade Lion accurately like a poisonous snake. The force of the bite was so great that it seemed to tear the lion's body apart, causing the White Jade Lion King to roar in pain.

At the same time, the other heads of the Nine-Headed Insect were not far behind. They grew longer and flexibly wrapped around and bit the Lion King's different parts like tentacles.

The sharp teeth on these heads penetrated deep into the flesh and blood of the Lion King, gnawing at him wantonly, causing the Lion King to fall into pain and distress.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

……

The Lion King was at a disadvantage for a moment, roaring continuously, trying to break free from the sudden restraints, but the Nine-Headed Insect's bite force was extremely strong, making it difficult for him to get rid of it for a while.

Especially the "head hidden at the waist" of the Nine-Headed Insect, which tightly gripped the body of the Lion King like a death lock!

Blood gushed out from the wounds on the Lion King's body, like small streams merging into rivers, dyeing the surrounding air red, and the scene became extremely tragic.

Seeing this, Bull Demon King became more nervous.

He stood up and stared at the battlefield, afraid of missing any details.

However, although the Lion King was at a disadvantage and was covered with wounds from the bites of the Nine-Headed Insect, he did not give up.

Therefore, it was inconvenient for Bull Demon King to stop the fight.

"That's not good!"

Xiao Chen was also worried for the Lion King. He silently recited the mantra of the "Golden Crow Transforming into Rainbow" technique, ready to rescue the Lion King at any time.

He has the "Baolian Lantern" in his hand, so as long as the Lion King is still alive, he can naturally try to get the Lion King back. However.

At this critical moment, when the ten heads of the Hydra were biting the Lion King tightly, it seemed that victory was about to come.

The Lion King suddenly looked ferocious, and an unprecedented powerful aura burst out from his body.

The momentum was like a violent storm, sweeping across the entire battlefield in an instant, making people's heart frightened.

The eyes of the Lion King were as red as torches, as if burning with raging flames, reflecting his indomitable fighting spirit.

Immediately afterwards, the sounds of "pop, pop, pop..." rang out one after another.

That was the explosion of the Lion King's bones and flesh under extreme pressure, and his entire body was covered in blood.

"Roar!"

The Lion King let out a deafening roar, and the sound seemed to shake the Nine Heads Mountain into pieces.

At this moment, the Lion King's originally snow-white fur turned completely blood-red!
The cultivation of the Lion King was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. In an instant, it soared to the peak of Taiyi and almost touched the threshold of Daluo Jinxian!
Lions have strong explosive power and can burst out with great strength in a few seconds.

This amazing change is the innate magical power of the Lion King, a life-saving skill - "Burning Blood and Destroying Mountains"!
"Burning Blood to Destroy Mountains", as the name suggests, this skill is to stimulate and squeeze the potential in the body by burning the essence and blood of the whole body, so that the Lion King can burst out with powerful force to destroy mountains and shake the mountains and rivers with just a move of his hands.

However, this is also an extremely tragic and resolute magical power.

Because blood essence is the source of life, while burning the blood essence throughout the body, the Lion King himself will also suffer serious damage, which is an overdraft of his own life source.

This style of fighting, which involves exchanging injuries for injuries and testing physical strength, can be described as "hurting the enemy by a thousand and losing eight hundred of your own." It is an extreme test of the fighter's courage and determination, and can only be practiced by the extremely brave.

At this time, the Nine-Headed Insect had already felt the suffocatingly powerful aura from the Lion King, as well as the terrifying strength that had reached the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

The sharp claws of the white-haired lion king danced in the strong wind like sharp blades, with the momentum of destroying the world, and went straight for several heads of the nine-headed insect.

The nine-headed insects quickly retreated their heads, trying to avoid the fatal blow.

However, the other heads were still okay, except for the "head hidden in the waist" that was biting the Lion King's head tightly, and it bit too deep, so there was no time for him to let go.

The Lion King's lion claws were as sharp as knives. He swung his claws as fast as the wind and tore the head off the Nine-Headed Insect's waist with one claw.

Subsequently.

The Lion King threw the head into his mouth with one claw and chewed it with big mouthfuls, making creepy "Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!" sounds.

"Gollum! Gollum! Gollum!"

The nine-headed monster lost one of its heads and was terrified, so it wanted to escape.

However, the Lion King's left hand grabbed his broken neck like an iron clamp, like grabbing a helpless kite, making it impossible for the Nine-Headed Insect to escape.

The Lion King grabbed the Nine-headed Insect with his left hand, and slapped the Nine-headed Insect with the sharp claws of his right hand like a storm, and each blow contained destructive power.

When it comes to close combat, the Nine-Headed Insect is no match for the Lion King.

Faced with this violent attack, although the Nine-Headed Insect fought hard, it was still torn to pieces and bleeding.

Just as the Nine-Headed Insect was about to admit defeat, the Lion King slapped him on the forehead with his claw. The huge force caused half of his face to sink in, causing him unbearable pain.

The Hydra fell to the ground, groaning in pain, almost losing consciousness.

His body was incomplete due to the loss of his head. His blood dyed the surrounding land red and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

At this time, Jiushou Jinni saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly stood up and shouted loudly:
"Lion King, we lost this round, please show mercy!"

When the Lion King heard that his opponent had admitted defeat, he seemed magnanimous and did not take this opportunity to kill the Nine-Headed Insect.

The Lion King stepped on the Nine-Headed Insect with one foot, and looking down from above, with a cold light in his lion eyes, he said coldly:

"Nine-headed ghost carriage."

"If you ever meet me, the Lion King, in Uttarakuru, you should lower your head and become a worm!"

The Nine-Headed Insect closed its eyes and said nothing, as if it had accepted its fate.

After the Lion King performed the "Burning Blood and Destroying Mountains" technique, his body paid a huge price.

The Lion King's breath became extremely weak, as if he would collapse at any time.

The Lion King dragged his heavy steps, his body covered in blood, leaving a deep bloody footprint with every step, and slowly left the battlefield.

Lion's Roar Mountain.

The clouds parted.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the Lion King, covering him with a layer of golden battle robe.

The golden light and his bloody body complemented each other, making him look even more majestic and domineering.

The Lion King slowly walked back to his camp, looking like a lion king returning from hunting.

"The world is turned upside down, only the Lion King reigns supreme!"

"When the lion king roars, the mountains and rivers tremble, and the sun and moon lose their light. The king's power shakes the nine heavens!"

"King's return!"

……

The little demons under the Lion King were greatly excited. They beat drums and shouted, the sound was deafening.

They shouted the majesty of the Lion King and cheered for his victory.

However, amid the cheers of victory, the Hydra suddenly opened its eyes, with flames of hatred flashing in its eyes.

His heart was filled with resentment and humiliation.

At this moment, the Nine-headed Insect quickly flew up, grabbed the crescent shovel, spread its wings, and chopped towards the Lion King's head like an arrow.

At this time, the Lion King was extremely weak after using the "Burning Blood and Destroying the Mountain" technique, and was unable to dodge the sudden sneak attack.

At this critical moment, Jiushou Qingjun and Xiao Chen attacked at the same time.

"Nine-headed ghost carriage!"

The nine-headed Qingjun shouted coldly, and his body turned into a green light and shadow, quickly rushing towards the nine-headed insect, intending to stop his sneak attack.

"hehe!"

Xiao Chen's eyes were sharp, and when he glared, a beam of hot golden light shot out like an arrow, hitting the Nine-Headed Insect's eyes directly.

The Nine-Headed Insect was concentrating on attacking the Lion King, but was unexpectedly hit in the left eye by this ray of golden light.

The golden light instantly penetrated his left eye, and the scorching light directly burned his eyeball to ashes.

"what!"

The Nine-Headed Insect covered his eyes and let out a heart-wrenching scream. Blood flowed out from between his fingers, staining his face red.

At the same time, the nine-headed Qingjun flashed and appeared next to the nine-headed insect.

She glanced at Xiao Chen, then quickly left the battlefield picking up the Nine-headed Insect.

"Shh!"

The little demons under the Lion King booed in disdain, their faces filled with ridicule and contempt for the Nine-Headed Insect's shameful behavior.

"Haha, sneak attack? How despicable!"

A wild dog demon who was always good at sneak attacks shook his head, his tone full of disdain.

"Although I am a weak little pig, I can't do such a thing!"

A little pig demon taunted.

"My little honey badger is the same, fearless and never cowardly, he just goes straight for it!"

A sturdy little honey badger monster puffed out his chest and spoke loudly in a silly voice.

……

The little demons of the Lion King either shook their heads or pointed, expressing their dissatisfaction and anger at the Nine-Headed Insect's sneak attack in various ways.

"Hey……"

The little demons on the Nine-Headed Insect's side witnessed the Nine-Headed Insect's sneak attack and the tragic scene that followed. They were like eggplants hit by frost, dejected and full of shame.

They all lowered their heads and covered their faces, not daring to look directly at this embarrassing scene.

A turtle demon even retracted its head into its shell, trying to avoid the ridicule and humiliation from the opposite side.
