Super Hero Monk: Hormones Journey to the West

Chapter 259 The Golden Circle

The golden ring flew out upright and landed directly on the flames.

The originally cone-shaped, radiating flames seemed to be pulled back by an invisible force, and were forcibly gathered together, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, all rushing towards the opening of the circle.

It crashed into the circle head-on, but didn't escape from the other side at all, as if it had shot into the void, leaving not a single drop behind.

At the same time, the golden circlet moved forward even faster, and in an instant, it caught the banana leaf fan in the monkey's hand.

Caught off guard, the monkey was still casting its spell when the banana leaf fan was pulled away by a tremendous force, flying into the circle with a whoosh and disappearing without a trace.

The Great King of the Rhinoceros changed his hand gestures again. The Vajra Ring spun rapidly in mid-air like a UFO, and then suddenly wrapped around the staff that the monkey was holding in his left hand.

The monkey's expression changed drastically. He gripped the staff tightly, his magical power surging, and he stood frozen in mid-air. With lightning speed, he unleashed a golden beam of light from his left hand, aiming to knock the golden circle away.

However, the originally straight golden light curved, becoming more curved as it approached the circle's edge, and then shot directly into the circle, leaving not a single drop behind.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"

Seeing that one end of his beloved stick was already caught in the broken ring, the monkey roared angrily and used both hands to pull it out with all its might. Finally, bit by bit, it managed to pull it back.

King Si's expression changed slightly as he saw the monkey kick away the golden hoop, somersault around in an arc, and then bring his cudgel down on his head.

It quickly manipulated the golden ring to flip it over, pulled it back rapidly, and aimed it at the golden cudgel again.

The stick that the monkey had just pulled out was sucked in again, causing it to pause. With the monkey's speed fluctuating, the golden ring caught up with a "whoosh" and almost snatched the stick away again.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Great King of the Rhinoceros created distance and led the Vajra Ring back to a position three zhang in front of him, where it was suspended in the air.

Once the monkey had a firm grip on the stick, it discovered that the banana leaf fan it had lost was now in its hand. The crimson runes on the fan surface shimmered with light, indicating that its magical power had been pushed to its limit.

The monkey guessed that this fellow was also going to use that hateful smoke to suffocate it, so it quickly flew into the sky to avoid it.

After all, the demonstration area is right below. If it gets affected by this fan, they'll have worked for nothing for half a year.

King Si had no desire to continue the fight; he only wanted to get rid of it so he could go down and catch that naked bald donkey who was playing hide-and-seek with his wife!

His gaze followed the monkey's figure, and he swung his hand to slap it.

"boom--"

The blazing flames erupted once more, soaring hundreds of feet into the air and turning the entire sky a blood-red hue.

The monkey's figure was engulfed by the flames, the wind and clouds churned, and the world lost its color.

Although the fan was pointing upwards, the high temperature still had a significant impact on the area below after it decreased logarithmically.

Temperatures in buildings and streets rose sharply.

Although Tang Xuanci's cultivators had begun organizing workers and merchants to take refuge in underground bunkers as early as the start of the battle.

But everything happened so fast that many people were still caught off guard, and there were even those who were willing to risk their lives to watch the spectacle, hiding in what they thought were safe places and peeking at the sky.

Even a mortal body would have its skin scalded off if boiling water were poured on it.

The ground temperature is now approaching 100 degrees Celsius, and those mortals have nowhere to escape but to head towards the underworld.

Just when things were at their most critical, a Buddhist chant suddenly rang out in the air.

What followed was a peaceful and gentle Buddha light, like water and clouds, descending from the sky and sprinkling across the high-rise buildings and streets, instantly dispelling the boiling heat.

People broke out in a cold sweat, gasping for breath, their eyes fixed on the center of the light in mid-air.

A figure stood suspended in mid-air, his robe billowing in the wind, his countenance solemn and dignified, like a golden Buddha descending to earth.

In Baoxiang Kingdom, where there are many Buddhists, this scene immediately prompted many people to prostrate themselves in worship, shouting:

"A living Buddha!"

"The Bodhisattva appears!"

"That female bodhisattva who visited Fulin Village, the newly appointed City God of Azhou, has sent a living Buddha to manifest and subdue the demon again!"

……

Logically speaking, ordinary people usually only know the City God and wouldn't know who their local City God is.

But Chen Xiao is no ordinary person.

Her story of saving Fulin Village and the surrounding villagers had long been spread throughout Azhou by merchants and workers in the development zone. Some villagers even built a temple for her, and many others brought her portrait and statue home to worship.

The huge uproar caused by the demon-slaying campaign also led to rumors flowing from the demon realm into the mortal world. People closely associated the near extinction of demons with her and were convinced of it.

Furthermore, this woman was extremely busy with official duties and devoted to relieving suffering and rescuing people. As word spread throughout the mortal realm, her divine power grew, and she temporarily surpassed Guanyin in popularity, becoming known in the martial arts world as—

The City God is always responsive to calls! The Bodhisattva grants gifts promptly!
Poems as proof:

It responds to every call, revealing its golden form; it promptly bestows precious grains.

Mercy descended upon the borders of Azhou, single-handedly mending the rifts in the sky. Now, even matters completely unrelated to her are attributed to her by the people.

This is not~
The heavenly being was clearly Huineng, who had traveled thousands of miles to subdue the demon, yet these ignorant mortals mistook her for Xiao Kalami, sent by Lord Chen to exorcise the demon.

Huineng heard this, but he was not angry. His gaze was calm as he stared at the Great Rhinoceros in the sky, which was blocking its path to capture Tang Xuanci.

When the Great King of the Rhinoceros saw Huineng, he was greatly alarmed. After looking around in all directions, his expression changed drastically.

It turned out that the forces that Tang Xuanci had summoned to the outskirts of Mo Shengdu had now surrounded the Great King Si.

These deities did not all originate from the City God Temple in Azhou.

In fact, most of these were the help that Huineng had made after speaking with Tang Xuanci a few days earlier. Based on the principle of "better to make a wrong judgment than to let someone go wrong," he made a decisive decision to invite assistance from the Buddhist community and the celestial realm.

Who are they:
The four Arhats of Mount Ling: Subduing Dragon, Taming Tiger, Long Eyebrows, and Reaching Hand;
The Fire God of Chechi Domain, and the Thunder General of the Thunder Department;

The Water Lord of Tongtian River Prefecture;
The military marshal of Wuji Kingdom...

And their assembled immortals, a total of forty-four, none of them were benevolent.

At this moment, each of them had unleashed their natal magical weapons, and they were all on high alert, locking onto the walking Special Merit—the Great King of the Rhinoceros, preparing to blast it into dust.

At the same time, at a crossroads on the ground, Hu Qinghua was also stopped by Zhu Ritian and Sha Dingtian who had rushed over.

She glanced up and saw the magnificent lineup in the sky, and was so shocked that she trembled and her breasts surged, making Pig-Ri-Tian's eyes almost pop out.

"This... must be because it left its tracks when it came from Chechi Kingdom."

"Tang Xuanci received a warning from the celestial being over there, so he became alert when he saw me luring him out of the temple today."

"It's over!"

Hu Qinghua felt a pang of sorrow and almost fell into despair.

"You damned bald thief, so you already knew I was in Azhou?" the Great Rhinoceros King in the air shouted at Huineng.

Before Huineng could answer, the Arhat Subduing Dragon, standing atop the western clouds, spoke in a booming voice:

"Namo Vairocana Buddha. This demon is gravely sinful; there is no need for further words. Please join me in subduing it!"

After speaking, the golden light of the treasure bowl in his hand shone brightly, and endless golden cinnabar gushed out, instantly condensing into a giant dragon thousands of feet long, which coiled around the Great King of the Rhinoceros.

The three Arhats, Fuhu, Changmei, and Tanshou, also unleashed their magical weapons, launching them all at the Great King of the Rhinoceros.

The gods of the Fire Department, the generals of the Thunder Department, and the immortals of the Water Palace immediately followed.

But behold: divine weapons roared in unison, lightning illuminated the sky, a fierce wind raged, and water and fire raged.

It was truly awe-inspiring!

King Si, however, laughed in extreme anger:

"Hahahaha... You think you can subdue me? This great king will send you all to the underworld today!"

It had already shrunk the banana leaf fan and swallowed it whole.

At this moment, invigorate your spirit, raise the Vajra Ring above your head, and pour all your magical power into activating it.

Seeing the countless spells and magical artifacts flying towards him, the Great King of the Rhinoceros's face contorted with rage, turning from blue to red, and he roared:
"Go!"

The golden circle trembled violently, its light swirling, and its diameter grew to several hundred meters.

It then suddenly started moving, like a flywheel chasing the sun, moving around it at high speed, revolving around the sun while also rotating on its own axis.

With a whoosh—

Divine weapons vanished, magical treasures disappeared, golden dragons vanished, water dried up and fire extinguished.

Even the dust and flames that had been blown out by the banana leaf fan were all gathered up and absorbed cleanly by the golden ring, leaving not a single drop.

Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!?
The gods and Buddhas all changed color, staring in disbelief, clearly because the intelligence report did not mention the power of the Great King Rhinoceros's Vajra Ring.

The monkey, standing at a higher position, gripped the iron rod tightly, squinted and looked down, marveling at how terrifying the broken circle was, while also cursing the gods as useless, saying their presence was as good as their absence.

Suddenly, it sensed the commotion high above. Looking up, it saw several more people riding clouds from the direction of the Heavenly Palace.

The two men in the lead:

A figure weighing 90 kilograms, with a mustache and a square face, holding a miniature pagoda in his right hand, gleaming with gold;

Weighing 50 kilograms, with an unremarkable appearance, but exuding a blend of heroic spirit, arrogance, and fierceness, he was unforgettable at first glance.

"Two more useless guys." The monkey was speechless when he saw his old acquaintances and couldn't help but curse again.

When the Great King of the Rhinoceros below saw the 50-kilogram greyhound boy, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his eyes trembled from side to side, filled with surprise and doubt.
