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

Chapter 316: Wherever the Heavenly Dog stops, the earth collapses, and the world feasts on blood for five thousand days.

On top of Xuanyin Mountain, deep in the dense forest, sunlight shines through the dense treetops, casting dappled shadows on the forest path.

Seeing that the king of Xuanyin Mountain had come out, Xiao Chen did not hold back and fought with him with his Fang Tian Hua Ji.

"King Ma will win!"

"King Ma is invincible!"

……

With the low drum beats and shouts of the little demons, the battle officially began.

The two demons fought.

The battle lasted less than five rounds.

King Ma Liu's offensive began to look disorganized and showed signs of defeat.

King Ma Liu's seemingly ferocious moves became fragmented under Xiao Chen's clever response and could not pose any threat to Xiao Chen at all.

One more round.

Xiao Chen's figure flashed and appeared beside King Ma Liu like a ghost. He swung the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand suddenly with an overwhelming force and hit King Ma Liu's shoulder heavily.

"Bang!" There was a loud noise, as if a mountain collapsed, shaking the surrounding trees.

King Ma Liu only felt an unprecedented force coming from his shoulders, and he lost his balance in an instant, as if he was a leaf blown by the wind.

The eight-foot-long steel spear in his hand flew out of his hand under this tremendous force, and flew far away like a meteor, disappearing from sight.

"Plop!" a sound.

King Ma Liu staggered and finally collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, his face full of astonishment and disbelief.

"how is this possible?"

"Am I defeated now?"

……

King Ma Liu murmured to himself, finding it hard to accept.

Xiao Chen stood in front of King Ma Liu, his figure as straight as a pine tree. The cold light of the Fang Tian Huaji in his hand flickered in the sun. The blade of the halberd hung above King Ma Liu's neck, releasing a heart-pounding aura.

Xiao Chen asked unceremoniously:
"You, the great king of Ma Liu, are you willing to surrender to me?"

Although King Ma Liu's abilities are average, he at least has the strength of a Golden Immortal, which is enough for him to be a demon general.

Moreover, when Xiao Chen hit King Ma Liu, he clearly felt that the demon king's body was unusually hard, as if it was made of some extremely strong material.

After being hit by his full-strength attack with the Fang Tian Hua Ji, King Ma Liu only staggered a few steps and was not seriously injured. This made Xiao Chen even more interested in him.

Xiao Chen couldn't help but guess:
"Perhaps this Ma Liu King is a transformed demon with a hard body?"

At this moment, it was this King Ma Liu who took the initiative to provoke him, and then was captured. Whether to kill him or keep him was all up to him.

Since King Jinjiao has the "reason" in his mind, he naturally has the right to decide the fate of King Ma Liu.

The little monsters from Xuanyin Mountain nearby witnessed the defeat of King Ma Liu and their faces changed drastically, as if they had seen something that subverted their cognition.

They were whispering and talking to each other, their voices filled with shock and confusion.

"Oh my, how come King Ma Liu was defeated so quickly!"

A little demon screamed, his voice sharp and trembling, obviously unable to accept this fact.

He originally thought that King Ma Liu would show his great power and defeat the white-faced man, but he did not expect the result to be like this.

"Even Leopard Vanguard fought with this pale-faced man for fifty or sixty rounds!"

Another little demon sighed, his tone revealing his longing for Leopard Vanguard and deep disappointment with King Ma Liu.

Leopard Vanguard was their powerful general, who fought with the white-faced man to a standstill, but King Ma Liu, as a king, was defeated so easily.

"Could it be that this new Ma Liu King is not even as good as the Leopard Vanguard?"

A little demon said doubtfully, his eyes flashing with deep doubt about King Ma Liu's strength.

……

These discussions were like sharp blades, cutting into Ma Liu's heart, and every one of them made him feel painful.

Ma Liu lay on the ground with his eyes closed, trying to escape from it all.

However, the discussions of the little demons were like devilish sounds, constantly echoing in Ma Liu's ears.

When Ma Liu heard the little demons' discussions, he felt extremely ashamed and wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

He originally made a big promise, wanting to get his first victory, become famous, and let all the little monsters see how powerful he is.

However, the reality is so cruel that the first victory is the first defeat. Not only did he fail to win the first victory, but he lost so miserably.

Ma Liu's heart was filled with helplessness and bitterness.

He is a man who cares most about his reputation. To lose face at this moment is more painful than killing him.

He knew very well that he could no longer stay on this mountain.

The gossip and ridicule of these little demons will be like invisible knives, constantly cutting his heart and making it impossible for him to stay here.

"Hey, I can't stay on this mountain anymore."

Ma Liu sighed helplessly in his heart.

Ma Liu recalled the past. He was originally Ma Shan, the wick of the coffin lamp of the ancient Buddha Dipankara. He ran out with Venerable Bai Xiong and escaped from Lingshan.

Because Ma Shan was afraid that the ancient Buddha Dipankara would catch him, he chose to change his appearance and hide his identity.

In order to cover up his whereabouts, he changed his name to Ma Liu, changed all his logos, and changed the appearance of his weapons.

Afterwards, he fled all the way to the land of Uttarakuru, and ran to a place beyond the jurisdiction of Lingshan.

He originally thought that after he, Ma Shan, came down the mountain, he was already invincible in the world and could walk around in this Northern Continent and show off his skills!

However, reality gave him a loud slap in the face.

The monsters in Uttarakuru are more powerful than each other.

He went to attack the hilltops, but failed to take down a single one, if it weren't for his "immortal body" and his mastery of the "Fire Escape Technique".

I'm afraid he has already become a feast on the monsters' banquet table and been eaten.

A year ago, he finally managed to become the king of Xuanyin Mountain and the second in command.

Today's battle is his first external battle.

He thought that this was finally his chance to make a name for himself and have all the little monsters fear and admire him, but he didn't expect that today he would fall into the hands of Xiao Chen, a seemingly ordinary man.

He lost all his face in an instant, and it would be difficult for him to hold his head up and act like a king again.

He had also lost face in front of this group of little demons. Staying on this hill would only make him more embarrassed.

He, Ma Shan, would only become a laughing stock and the topic of conversation among the little demons after dinner.

"Forget it, forget it, slip away."

"Or I'll go back to Lingshan."

"Practice for another thousand years, then escape and become the king of the mountain again."

Having run into obstacles everywhere, Ma Liu became discouraged.

He was originally the fire spirit from the wick of the coffin lamp that cultivated into a spirit. Although his fighting ability was average, he had a superb "Fire Escape Technique". When it comes to "Fire Escape Technique", no one in the world can match him.

During the Conferred Gods Battle, Yang Jian, Nezha, Jin Zha, Mu Zha, Lei Zhenzi, Wei Hu, Huang Tianhua, Jiang Ziya... tried every possible means, but were unable to hurt him at all.

Relying on the art of fire escape, he moved into the Zhou army camp like an empty space and finally left calmly, which shocked the knowledgeable Jiang Ziya, who slapped his thigh in anxiety.

Ma Shan wanted to run away, but no one could stop him unless Randeng came in person with the coffin lamp.

Those Yang Jian, Nezha, Jin Zha, Lei Zhenzi, Jiang Ziya...are all only worthy of smelling Ma Shan's fart.

More than a thousand years have passed since the Conferred God War. His fire escape technique has improved further and he can now escape by borrowing the earth's fire. This was a skill he was proud of, but now it has become his only means of escaping shame.

At that moment, Ma Liu no longer hesitated. He took a deep breath, attracted the fire from the earth's core, and his body instantly merged into the underground fire. He turned into a flame and shuttled through the underground fire like a swimming dragon, and disappeared in an instant.

Ma Liu fled from the battlefield that made him feel ashamed.

"You white-faced man, I will definitely come back, King Ma!"

As the saying goes: "It's better to lose the battle than the person."

Even if you want to escape, you can't lose your momentum.

At the moment of escaping, Ma Liu did not forget to say something harsh, trying to restore his pitiful prestige.

Then Ma Liu disappeared.

He will never return to this sad place again.

Xiao Chen originally wanted to persuade King Ma Liu to surrender, but he did not expect that King Ma Liu would "whoosh" and dive into the ground like a ghost. He could not help but feel a little surprised.

Although he has a little demon that is a pangolin spirit under his command, the clumsy way it burrows into the ground is completely different from that shown by King Malay, and it is obviously not of the same race.

Xiao Chen secretly said:

"Is this Ma Liu some powerful ancient pangolin that has transformed into a spirit?"

"Or Ma Liu, which means 'millipedes.'" "Millipus is also an insect that is good at burrowing into the ground."

"Is this King Ma Liu a millipede or a millipede transformed into a spirit?"

However, based on a name alone, Xiao Chen naturally could not accurately infer the true identity of "King Ma Liu".

Just as he calls himself "King of the Golden Horn", it is also difficult for others to guess his true identity from his name.

These things are mutual.

"never mind."

Xiao Chen shook his head and did not dwell too much on the identity of King Ma Liu.

After all, the strength of this King Ma Liu is really average, he can capture him easily, and he can't cause any trouble at all.

After he takes over this hill and subdues these little monsters, it will not be too late to slowly find out the details of King Ma Liu.

The main purpose of King Jinjiao's trip was to attack the mountain.

Now that King Ma Liu has abandoned the mountain and fled, this mountain naturally belongs to King Jinjiao.

Xiao Chen didn't care too much about this group of little monsters.

In the demon world, it is common for demon kings to fight for territory and for territory to be replaced.

Once the demon king abandons the mountain and flees, what other choice will these little monsters have except to support a new demon king?

He, the King of the Golden Horn, simply recruited him.

Therefore, Xiao Chen did not take this group of little monsters seriously and planned to recruit them directly to expand his own power.

at this time.

Xiao Chen immediately grasped the Fang Tian Hua Ji, raised a demonic wind, and rushed towards the Xuanyin Cave, directly attacking Xuanyin Cave and occupying the hill in one fell swoop.

"You wild monster, stop being so presumptuous!"

"We still have the Great King. I will report back to the Great King and make sure you are in trouble!"

A wild deer demon fled backwards in a panic, uttering cruel words, mentioning that there was a great king on the top of the mountain.

"Ok?"

"Are there other kings on this mountain?"

Xiao Chen's heart moved, and he was not surprised but happy.

He originally thought that there was only one demon king, King Ma Liu, on this mountain, but he didn't expect that there were other demon kings.

Ma Liu's escape made him feel a little regretful. He was worried that he had not been able to subdue a decent demon general. Now this sudden news undoubtedly brought him new expectations.

Xiao Chen immediately slowed down his pace, stood still, and looked around with a sharp gaze.

He wanted to see if there were any other powerful monsters on the mountain.

Of course, the more powerful this monster is, the better.

If he could be like General Yatun, he would be satisfied.

……

When Xiao Chen defeated King Ma Liu in a few rounds.

A dozen clever little demons had already seen the bad situation, so they picked up some broken flags and drums, rushed into the cave in a panic, informed the remaining two kings, and shouted:
"Report to the Great King and the Three Kings."

"The Second King was no match for that white-faced man. He was defeated by him and has already fled."

The little demons shouted breathlessly, their voices filled with fear.

The big monster with arms longer than the knees and the big monster with a raccoon face were still waiting eagerly for King Ma Liu to take the heart and liver of the wild monster to eat with wine. They were shocked when they heard this.

They also knew Ma Liu's abilities. Although he was not strong, he was not weak either.

Although Ma Liu's martial arts skills were mediocre, he had at least reached the level of a Golden Immortal.

Ma Liu came to seize their mountain a year ago. Although he was at a disadvantage at first, he relied on his unwillingness to admit defeat and eventually defeated the two monsters.

It was just that Ma Liu liked to show off his face and authority, so the big demon with a raccoon face gave up his seat and let Ma Liu become the second king.

"Defeated so quickly?"

The big demon with arms longer than his knees frowned and asked solemnly, obviously surprised by Ma Liu's quick retreat.

After all, Ma Liu patted his chest and said that he would capture this beast within five rounds!

"Yes, King Ma Liu was defeated after just a few rounds and fled."

As the leader of the little demons, the mountain cat demon confirmed the news again with a trembling voice.

The demon with a raccoon face was furious when he heard this and shouted:

"Bring me my armor!"

"Wait till I get out and see what kind of man he is, and go meet him!"

Upon hearing this, the little demons did not dare to delay and turned around and ran away immediately to get weapons and armor for the three kings.

However, at this moment, the giant demon with arms longer than his knees waved his hand to stop their actions.

"Third Master, wait a minute."

The voice of the long-armed monster was steady and powerful. He waved his hand, signaling the raccoon cat monster not to be impulsive.

"What does the boss have to worry about?"

The giant demon with a raccoon cat face asked with some confusion.

The big demon with arms longer than his knees said in a deep voice:
"This monster has just arrived, so he must not know where we are."

"My pair of iron arms are invulnerable to swords and guns, and have infinite strength."

"It also has the power to 'hold the sun and the moon', the strength to 'shrink thousands of mountains', and the power to shake the heaven and earth."

"Even if it's a Taiyi demon, I can fight against one or two of them."

"Therefore, it is more appropriate for me to confront this pale-faced man head-on."

The big demon with a raccoon face nodded when he heard this.

He was well aware of the wisdom and strength of the long-armed monster, so he naturally had no objection to such an arrangement.

then.

The demon with a raccoon face asked:

"What specific arrangements does the boss have?"

The giant demon with arms that reached past his knees smiled slightly and continued to lay out his plan. He said:
"Your Tengu clan is best at sneak attacks. Your speed is like the wind, your sound is like thunder, and your light is like lightning."

"Once your Tengu clan starts running, no one can match your speed!"

"You have a sharp tongue, and a mouth full of iron and copper teeth that can break anything."

"So you stay in the dark and wait for the right time."

"Go up and grab his calf neck, bite it hard, and knock him down!"

At this point, the big demon with arms longer than his knees paused, glanced at the small demons in the cave, and continued:

"Left and right little demons, you also have to be prepared."

"When the three kings succeed in their sneak attack, you will all bravely step forward and knock him down together!"

"No matter what he says, he is still a wild monster. If the thousands of monsters in my cave spit at him together, they can drown him!"

"In this way... great things can be accomplished!"

"Even the great Taiyi demon will be defeated on our mountain this time."

When the demon with a raccoon face heard the long-armed demon's clever plan, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he clapped his hands and laughed:
"What a brilliant plan, Boss. It can help to secure the mountain."

As the words fall.

The giant demon with a raccoon cat face shook violently, and the demonic energy in his body surged like a tide, and his true form was revealed in an instant.

Its true form is actually a Tengu with a white raccoon cat head and three wide white stripes on its head, like the stripes of a king.

Those red eyes were like two burning fireballs, flashing a fierce and deep murderous light, as if they could see through all the fear and darkness in the world.

A mouthful of sharp teeth was hidden in its mouth, flashing with cold light, making people shudder. Its red hair was like burning flames, fluttering in the wind, and its four legs were thick and powerful. Every step it took seemed to crush the mountains and rivers, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

What a vicious dog this is! What a vicious dog!
This vicious dog is none other than the king of all dogs in the world - "Heavenly Dog", which has the great reputation of "The Heavenly Dog Swallows the Moon".

This Heavenly Dog is extremely yang, and its yang energy is so strong that it can almost suppress all evil things in the world. It guards all the houses in the world, and no evil things can invade. Its reputation spreads far and wide, and it has been prominent in China for 5,000 years. It is revered as the patron saint of Chinese houses.

There was a poem praising the might and bravery of the heavenly dog:

"Wherever the heavenly dog ​​stops, the earth collapses, and the human world is fed with blood for five thousand days."

"It is as fast as the wind and as fast as lightning, and its remaining light illuminates the sky like a shooting star."

"A dog barks and the sky shakes. The heavenly dog ​​can swallow the moon in one gulp!"

"He has a mouth full of iron teeth and is good at biting. Even Roaring Sky Dog can't match his sharp mouth!"
