I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 50: The Heavenly Army Gathers, and the Battle of the West Sea (Two Chapters in One)

Zhuang Yan stepped forward, bowed his head and said, "I am Zhuang Yan, the God of Lingtai Mountain. I pay my respects to the Great God of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly."

Nezha looked straight at Zhuang Yan, took a closer look at him, and then said, "God of Lingtai Mountain, please rise."

"Thank you, Marshal." Zhuang Yan bowed and thanked him, then stood up and looked at Nezha the Third Prince.

He looked like a little boy, with a strange appearance and very strong. He was really: "The jade face was as delicate as the full moon, the red lips were square and the silver teeth were exposed. The eyes were as bright as lightning, the forehead was broad and the hair was in a bun. The embroidered belt danced in the wind and flew colorful flames, and the brocade robe reflected the sun and released golden flowers. The sash was shining and climbed the mirror of the heart, and the precious armor was shining against the boots. The body was small and the voice was magnificent, the three-day guardian of the evil Nezha."

"Marshal Tianpeng, bring the gods of Lingtai Mountain into the army, the army is about to set out." Nezha said to Zhu Lie.

Zhu Lie bowed and replied, "Yes, sir." Then he brought Zhuang Yan to the army formation.

After entering the battle formation, Zhu Lie pointed to the five heavenly generals in front of him who were second only to Nezha, and said to Zhuang Yan: "Those are the Giant Spirit God and the Four Heavenly Kings."

Zhuang Yan looked up and saw that the giant spirit was tall and extremely strong, while the Four Heavenly Kings also looked ferocious and majestic.

Zhuang Yan looked at the people standing in the formation of the heavenly soldiers, wearing golden armor inside and divine robes outside, and asked, "Are those also heavenly generals?"

"Yes." Zhu Lie nodded and said, "Those are the thirty-six Heavenly Generals and the seventy-two Earthly Generals. They are all the leading officers of the various Heavenly Army Battalions."

Zhuang Yan nodded. Most of the heavenly generals in heaven were like this. After all, only a few of them could lead tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals independently.

At this time, Nezha raised a flag and shouted, "Raise the flag."

"Whoosh", "whoosh", "whoosh". One after another, the divine flags were erected high in the face of the lightning and thunder. Zhuang Yan took a quick look and saw that they were the four flags of wind, cloud, thunder and lightning, as well as the flags of the twenty-eight constellations.

As the divine flags were raised, dark thunderclouds rose from the feet of the 80,000 heavenly soldiers. Above the thunderclouds, stars were hanging in the sky, and lightning and thunder were flashing.

Then Nezha waved his flag again and shouted, "Beat the drum."

Boom, boom, boom. The sound of thunder drums rumbled through the sky, shaking the heavens for thousands of miles.

Then Nezha turned around, stepped on the fire wheel, and led the giant spirit and the four heavenly kings to inspect the 80,000 heavenly soldiers. Then he returned to his original position, waved the flag and shouted loudly: "March out."

Following Nezha's order, dark thunderclouds rose up, thunder drums rumbled, flags fluttered, and eighty thousand heavenly soldiers and generals lined up above the thunderclouds and descended to the next heaven, heading straight for the West Sea.

The heavenly army was marching in a mighty force. Just as they arrived at the border of the West Coast, they saw a golden cloud flying in the distant sky, heading straight towards them.

Nezha waved a flag to stop the thunderclouds, and led the giant spirit and the four heavenly kings to fly to the front of the heavenly army.

The auspicious golden cloud came close and stopped immediately. Then the golden light dissipated and thousands of immortals appeared, led by eighteen arhats with holy images of Buddha's light.

The eighteen Arhats flew forward, clasped their hands together and bowed to Nezha, saying, "We are following the order of the Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta and leading five thousand Vajra to come to help and destroy the demons. The Bodhisattva's order states that we are all under the command of the Marshal. Please give the order, Marshal."

Nezha bowed in return and said, "Then join the army."

The Eighteen Arhats bowed and accepted the order. Then they led five thousand Vajra to fly into the heavenly army formation and formed a separate camp.

Afterwards, Nezha waved the command flag again, urging the thunderclouds to move forward. This time, they did not stop and flew straight into the territory of the West Sea.

As soon as they entered the West Sea, Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea who had descended to the mortal world in advance, came to greet them with his three dragon princes.

Nezha stopped the army, stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Old Dragon King, do you have any news about the Great Black Yaksha?"

Ao Run heard this and said, "Yes, that demon has occupied the Dragon Palace and called himself the Yaksha King of the West Sea. He has been recruiting soldiers from all over the place and has already set up battle formations around the Dragon Palace to guard against the heavenly army."

"In addition." Ao Run added, "The fifteenth prince of the Asura tribe, Jie Hanli, also rebelled against Lingshan and led his three thousand Asura warriors to join the Great Black Yaksha. Now the Great Black Yaksha has 50,000 original Yaksha ghost soldiers, 3,000 Asura warriors, and about 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers from the West Sea aquatic creatures."

Nezha nodded and asked, "How many Dragon Palace soldiers do you have?"

Ao Run couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and said, "They are all gone, either killed in battle or surrendered to the Great Black Yaksha, so I had no choice but to bring my three sons to help."

Having said this, Ao Run immediately turned around and said to the three Dragon Princes, "Come and pay your respects to the Demon Subduing Marshal."

The second prince Ao Rong, the third prince Ao Lie, and the fourth prince Ao Wang immediately stepped forward, bowed and said, "Ao Rong (Ao Lie, Ao Wang), pay homage to the Demon-Subduing Marshal."

The three princes were very respectful, which was not surprising, because all the dragons would be respectful when seeing Nezha.

Nezha said calmly: "No need to be polite, three princes, please stand up."

"Thank you, Marshal." The three Dragon Princes bowed in thanks and then stood up.

Then Nezha asked Ao Run, "Old Dragon King, why is your Prince Moang not in the West Sea?"

Ao Run heard this and said, "Mo'ang'er went to the East to practice under the seat of Lord Meng Zhang, and cannot return to the West Sea for the time being."

"So that's how it is." Nezha nodded, then asked Ao Run and the three dragon princes to join the thundercloud army, and then urged the thunderclouds to go straight to the Dragon Palace in the West Sea.

But in the Dragon Palace of the West Sea, the Great Black Yaksha was holding a banquet to entertain the four great demon saints and the Asura prince Jie Hanli who had come to seek refuge with him.

The four great demon saints are: the Great Saint Red-Horned Black Dragon, the Great Saint Li Guang Zhao Hai, the Great Saint Purple Fang Spirit Poison, and the Great Saint Driving Mountains and Covering Seas.

There were also yakshas and ghost generals on the tables around, toasting each other and making the scene very lively.

It was Jie Hanli who sat there in a depressed mood. He would just drink a sip when someone toasted him, and would not eat any food. He just sat there with a gloomy face.

Seeing this, the Great Black Yaksha immediately said to Jie Hanli: "My second brother, now that you have rebelled against the Ashura tribe, just stay here with me. Don't worry, I will protect you from now on. You will also have a share of this vast West Sea."

After saying this, the big black demon took out the Heavenly Evil Sword and handed it to Jie Hanli, saying, "Second brother, come here. We agreed that we would return the Heavenly Evil Sword to you after we occupied the Dragon Palace. Now that the Dragon Palace has been taken, you can take the Heavenly Evil Sword."

Looking at the Heavenly Blade handed over by the Big Black Yaksha, Jie Hanli sighed and did not take it. Instead, he said, "It is useless to take this blade back now. Brother, just keep it with you."

"This..." The big black demon was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, then I will keep this sword for you, brother."

After that, the big black demon raised his wine glass and said to everyone: "If it weren't for my second brother who gave me the Heavenly Blade, how could we accomplish this great cause? Come on, everyone, let's toast to brother Jie Hanli together."

Everyone stood up and toasted Jie Hanli. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Jie Hanli had no choice but to raise his glass.

Just as the Black Yaksha was about to offer wine, a Yaksha ghost suddenly rushed in and reported to the Black Yaksha, "My king, something bad has happened. The Heavenly Court has ordered the Third Prince Nezha to lead 80,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to attack us. Now the Heavenly Army has arrived outside the Dragon Palace and is challenging us."

'Snapped'

When Jie Hanli heard this, the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.

Everyone was startled by the sound of breaking and quickly looked towards Jie Hanli.

The big black demon suddenly laughed and said, "Hahaha, second brother, your alcohol tolerance is really not good. You are drunk after drinking only this little. You can't even hold a cup steadily."

After saying that, the big black demon said to everyone: "Everyone, the Heavenly Court has sent troops to attack us. I think it will be another fierce battle. Fortunately, we have already deployed our troops and are not afraid of his heavenly soldiers and generals."

After hearing what the Great Black Yaksha said, everyone present requested to fight, especially the Four Great Demon Saints. They already had a grudge against the Dragon King of the West Sea, and this time they came to join the Great Black Yaksha, so they were naturally prepared to fight against the heavenly soldiers.

"We are willing to be the vanguard and fight off the heavenly soldiers and generals for the king." The four demon saints said in unison.

Seeing the four great demon saints and the Yaksha ghost generals eager to fight, the Big Black Yaksha immediately ordered the banquet to be cleared, called the generals and gave orders, and then led 70,000 to 80,000 demon soldiers out of the Dragon Palace.

A huge tsunami was seen rising above the West Sea. A moment later, the Great Black Yaksha appeared on the sea surface with the Four Demon Saints, Jie Hanli, and many Rakshasa ghost generals, Shura warriors, Rakshasa ghost soldiers, and West Sea sailors. As soon as the Great Black Yaksha appeared, Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, stepped forward and shouted above the thunderclouds: "Great Black Yaksha, you have committed treason, disturbed the West Sea, and killed immortal officials. Today, the court will send troops to suppress you. Your death has come."

Then Ao Run shouted to the soldiers behind the Great Black Yaksha: "You have rebelled against the Great Black Yaksha and have become evil people. If you wake up and turn over a new leaf now, it is not too late and you can still save your lives. Otherwise, the heavenly soldiers will turn you into dust in an instant!"

"Ao Run!" The big black demon looked at the Dragon King of the West Sea on the thundercloud and said, "You old dragon, since I drove you out of the Dragon Palace, you should have retreated to the rivers and lakes and lived a miserable life. How dare you come back?"

Ao Run said angrily, "Great Black Yaksha, don't be so arrogant. Look here. Today, the Third Prince Nezha is the demon-suppressing marshal, commanding the Giant Spirit God, the Four Heavenly Kings, 80,000 heavenly soldiers and the Heavenly River Navy, the Eighteen Arhats of Buddhism, and 5,000 Vajra to come and suppress you."

At this time, thunder drums rumbled above the thunderclouds, the flags of the stars fluttered in the wind, the thunderclouds slowly descended, and the giant spirit, the four heavenly kings, and the eighteen arhats all appeared in their Dharma forms.

For a moment, one could see the mighty divine power, the Buddha's light, the solemn heavenly soldiers, and the glorious Dharma above the thunderclouds.

With such a majestic and powerful force, the army behind the Big Black Yaksha immediately fell into noise and chaos.

Seeing this, the big black demon hurriedly shouted, "Ao Run, you are the Dragon King of the West Sea. What good policies have you implemented in ruling the West Sea over the years? What kindness have you shown to the creatures of the West Sea? It is God's will that I replace you as the King of the West Sea. I felt sorry for you at the beginning, so I spared your life and let you escape. How dare you still talk nonsense here today? Let alone your 80,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, I am not afraid even if they are 800,000. Today, I swear to seek justice for all the creatures of the West Sea."

After the Great Black Demon finished speaking, the somewhat shaken soldier behind him immediately calmed down.

Seeing this, Nezha flew up on his wind-fire wheel and said to Ao Run, "Old Dragon King, don't say too much. If talking is useful, what do we need these generals for?"

Hearing this, Ao Run immediately nodded to Nezha and then stepped back.

At this time, Nezha looked towards the sea below, and then a golden light flashed around his body. The next moment, Nezha's body suddenly grew dozens of feet larger, and showed a three-headed, six-armed form.

Nezha was seen standing on a fire wheel, with three heads and six arms, each holding a magic treasure. A great divine power immediately covered the thunderclouds.

The faces of the Great Black Yaksha and others changed, and their eyes immediately focused on Nezha who had revealed his Dharma form.

The Great Black Yaksha immediately said, "Nezha, the Third Prince, I, the Great Black Yaksha, have no ill intentions. I replaced the Dragon King of the West Sea for the sake of all living beings in the West Sea. If the Heavenly Court can appoint me as the Lord of the West Sea, I am willing to lead my people to submit to the Heavenly Court, pay tribute every year, and pay homage every year."

Nezha is awe-inspiring, with a red silk belt fluttering in the wind, a cold face and fierce light flashing from his eyes.

He did not say much, but simply raised the command flag and waved it gently, shouting, "Heavenly soldiers and generals, listen to my orders."

There were thunders in all directions, lightning and rumbling, dark clouds gathered, winds from the sky blew over the sea, drums roared, and the heavenly soldiers and generals stood solemnly, ready for battle.

"kill."

At Nezha's command, the Giant Spirit and the Four Heavenly Kings took the lead in using their Dharma images to rush down to kill. The thirty-six Tiangang generals and the seventy-two Disha generals responded to the order and led the 80,000 Tianhe navy to charge down in an overwhelming manner.

When the Dark Yaksha saw the heavenly soldiers and generals launching an attack, he immediately gave the order: "Hurry up and fight. If we win this battle, the entire West Sea will belong to us. You must not be cowardly or afraid. Follow me and kill!"

After the Great Black Yaksha's decree was completed, he immediately manifested a black Yaksha Dharma image of a hundred feet in length, with great evil black light covering his entire body. He rushed straight towards Nezha to kill him with the Heavenly Evil Sword in his hand.

The Big Black Yaksha charged forward and killed all the heavenly soldiers and generals he met, and none of them could match him. Soon, the Big Black Yaksha killed thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals and came directly in front of Nezha.

Seeing this, Nezha couldn't help but sneer: "Come on!" After that, he flew forward and used his three heads and six arms magical powers to fight with the big black demon.

When the subordinates of the Great Black Yaksha in the rear saw how brave he was, their morale was boosted immediately. The Four Demon Saints and the Yaksha ghost generals all used their magic weapons and weapons to attack the heavenly soldiers.

As the two armies engaged in battle, numerous immortal powers collided. For a moment, ten-colored lights flew, spells collided, the wind and clouds changed color, and the waves surged.

The third prince of the West Sea Dragon King also joined the battlefield, some holding weapons to kill the enemies, some casting spells to destroy the enemies, and some simply showing their dragon bodies to stir up the waves and clouds to devour the enemies.

The Eighteen Arhats led five thousand Vajras and the Four Heavenly Kings and rushed to the front. With the Buddha's light shining and murderous aura rising, they exorcised the demons without mercy.

Tianpeng Marshal Zhu Lie had already summoned his weapon, the Shang Baoxun Golden Palladium, and said to Zhuang Yan, "Lingtai Mountain God, I'll go first, you can do whatever you want."

After saying that, Zhu Lie shouted loudly, then led his personal soldiers to charge out.

Zhuang Yan watched Zhu Lie charge into the formation, then quickly stepped forward, walked to the edge of the thundercloud and looked at the battlefield.

I saw the giant spirit god with a hundred feet tall image, holding a Xuanhua axe in his hand. With one swing of the axe, he killed more than ten Yaksha ghost generals and thousands of Yaksha ghost soldiers.

At this time, a ray of sword light pierced through the sky and broke through the clouds, heading straight for the face of the giant spirit god. A divine light flashed on the giant spirit god's body, and he immediately blocked the sword light.

Afterwards, Jie Hanli, the Shura prince from the Xuanxian realm, came in front of the giant spirit with a precious sword in his hand. The giant spirit waved the Xuanhua axe and fought with Jie Hanli for more than ten rounds. Then he used his divine power and chopped Jie Hanli into meat sauce with one axe.

On the other side, Zhu Lie waved the Shangbaoxun Golden Palladium in his hand like flying, and led more than a hundred personal soldiers and generals to charge directly into the formation of three thousand Shura warriors. In just a few dozen breaths, the three thousand Shura warriors were wiped out by Zhu Lie in one fell swoop.

The Eighteen Arhats, along with five thousand Vajras, surrounded the Four Great Demon Saints and their subordinates. They used the Buddha's Light Seal and the Golden Pestle as their divine weapons, and beat the Four Great Demon Saints till they cried out in pain, with no way to escape.

The Four Heavenly Kings each displayed their magical powers. One of them held up an umbrella, and showed his power like thunder to destroy the demons; one of them held a pipa, and used heavenly music to kill the yaksha ghost generals; one of them held a sword, and washed the sea with blood; one of them controlled dragons and snakes, and swallowed up all directions.

The thirty-six Tiangang generals and the seventy-two Disha generals led eighty thousand Tianhe sailors to charge and break through the enemy lines in the sea as if they were in an empty land, chasing the enemy to the north and setting up a net of heaven and earth.

For a moment, demons wailed and the sea was in turmoil.

Even at such an unfavorable time, the Big Black Yaksha fought with Nezha for more than two hundred rounds and still no winner was decided. The Big Black Yaksha was holding the Heavenly Sin Sword and was not at all inferior to Nezha's three heads and six arms and various magical treasures and magic weapons.

In particular, his entire body was enveloped in a dark light of great evil, which caused any heavenly soldiers and generals who wanted to approach him to be immediately killed or injured by the dark light of great evil.

When Zhu Lie saw this scene, he immediately rushed forward with the Shangbaoxun gold palladium in his hand, but as soon as he got close, he was hit by the great black light.

The next moment, Zhu Lie spat out a mouthful of blood, and the immortal light around him dissipated, and he flew backwards, and was hastily caught by the heavenly soldiers behind him.

Then the thirty-six generals of the Heavenly Stars also tried to go forward and besiege the Great Black Yaksha, but like Zhu Lie, they were immediately seriously injured as soon as they approached the range of the Great Sin black light and lost their combat effectiveness.

"Don't come over. This villain's evil light is very powerful. Those whose Dharma body is not strong will be hurt." Nezha shouted loudly.

"Hahaha." The Great Black Yaksha laughed wildly, looked at Nezha and said, "I practice the Great Black Sin Sutra, which can refine the power of the sins of heaven and earth for my use, kill immortals and gods, and be invincible. Although you are numerous and powerful, what can you do to me? Just wait for me to chop off your three heads and six arms, and my name, the Great Black Yaksha, will spread throughout the world!"

After saying this, a black light shone brightly all over the body of the Big Black Yaksha. In an instant, all the evil karma on the entire West Sea battlefield was absorbed and refined by him.

In just a moment, the strength and energy of the Great Black Yaksha increased more than ten times, and even the Yaksha's Dharma image became more than thirty feet taller.

Nezha frowned when he saw this scene. Although the power of the Great Black Yaksha, which was able to refine sins and stack them infinitely, was very strong, it was not difficult for him to deal with it.

What is really difficult to deal with is the Heavenly Evil Sword. Although the Heavenly Evil Sword is also a fairy treasure, it complements the power of the evil karma of the Great Black Yaksha. With the blessing of the massive power of evil karma, its power is far beyond that of fairy treasures.

Moreover, even when the immortal treasures and immortal weapons such as the demon-slaying sword, demon-chopping knife, demon-subduing pestle, immortal-binding rope, hydrangea, and fire-pointed spear wielded by him with three heads and six arms were attacking at the same time, the Tianye Sword was able to easily defend against them all, which was really against the will of heaven.

"It seems that if I can't break this Tianye Sword, it will be difficult to defeat the Big Black Demon." Nezha frowned and thought.

But he had no method to capture it, and the other heavenly generals and Arhats could not come to help because their Dharma bodies could not withstand the great evil black light. It was really difficult to deal with.

Just as he was thinking about it, the big black demon had already attacked with the Tianye sword in hand. Nezha did not hesitate and went straight to meet him. As soon as the two sides fought, Nezha frowned again. The strength of the big black demon was indeed several times stronger than before.

At this time, Zhuang Yan, who had been observing for a long time on the thundercloud, immediately rode the cloud light and flew to the sky above Nezha, and shouted in a clear voice: "Demon Subduing Marshal, Zhuang Yan is here to help you."

　I wish our motherland prosperity and strength!

　　Happy National Day!
