Super Hero Monk: Hormones Journey to the West

Chapter 286 Demon Extermination War
……

The celestial beings in Heaven were truly alarmed.

Seeing that the anti-demon rebellion in the Western Continent was getting more and more intense, even the remaining demons and evil spirits hiding in the Northern and Southern Continents and the abyss of the four seas were also stirring up trouble, and different factions had no choice but to compromise with each other.

The 220,000-strong army was quickly assembled and, at a speed a billion times faster than any war in the mortal realm, pressed into the territory of Xiniu Hezhou, launching a fierce attack from the southwest, southeast, and due north.

That commotion—

Thunder roared, divine drums shook the mountains, dark clouds obscured the sun, and mountains collapsed and the earth cracked!
Even the capital of Mosheng was struck by an earthquake. For seven or eight days in a row, the sky was dark and the wind and rain were fierce, as if it were the end of the world.

However, the Three Demon Kings of Lion Camel Ridge, the One-Horned Rhinoceros King, the Yellow-Eyebrowed Buddha, and the Lion Camel Ridge had already heard the news and rallied eighteen demons, both big and small, to gather in Jisa Kingdom.

He angrily beheaded ten captured celestial officials of the sixth rank or above, took a picture with his mobile phone—and automatically added a "shot on iPhone" watermark—and forwarded it to all corners of the four continents to pledge his allegiance and form an alliance to fight against the enemy.

They relied on the spiritual veins of mountains and rivers to set up defenses, deploying the "Ten Thousand Demons Formation", the "Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Death-Inducing Formation", the "Twelve Capital Demon God Killing Formation", and even recreated the "Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation" that had been lost for many years in the Tongtian River.

Faced with such a super array that integrates giant spiritual veins and involves countless immortals and demons, Zhen Yuanzi's orchard array is like "capturing the king with a single cannon".

The three armies of Heaven were all blocked.

Of the 60,000 gods and Buddhas of Mount Ling, 25,000 were lost in seven days, and the battle line retreated to Yuhua Palace in the Western Heaven.

The two armies directly under the Heavenly Court, the Demon-Subduing and Demon-Slaying armies, suffered even heavier casualties. Although the battle lines had advanced considerably, as the saying goes:
"One should press on with one's might, but the momentum will wane on the second attempt and be exhausted on the third."

Several fierce attacks were halted, and what was originally thought to be a "blitzkrieg" turned into a "protracted war".

Upon hearing the news of the battle, Tang Xuanci almost laughed through his tears and said at the high-level meeting of the gang:

"In general, the methods of warfare require a thousand chariots, ten thousand cloud carriages, and a hundred thousand magical treasures. The expenses, both internal and external, as well as the materials consumed and the offerings to the immortals and gods, will amount to hundreds of millions of gold coins per day. Only then can an army of a hundred thousand be mobilized."

"Therefore, speed is valued in warfare, not protracted battles."

"Given the current situation, the Heavenly Court must have suffered heavy losses, and those anti-demons and their backers will certainly not fare any better."

"Moreover, where is the place closest to the battlefield and with the strongest productivity right now? Of course, it's our Azhou."

"If the Heavenly Court wants to replenish its resources and upgrade its weapons and equipment, it has to rely on me."

"We've won so badly!"

really.

Faced with a less-than-optimistic situation, and on the advice of the Qingliu faction of immortals and deities:

A-zhou, which should have been promoted to a higher rank, was immediately elevated from "lower state" to "upper state," and Lord Chen and the various officials of the temple were also promoted and given raises.

Tang Xuanci was promoted to the judicial assistant god of the domain, in charge of the work of exorcising demons and monsters throughout the domain, and took the lead in promoting the stability maintenance plan of the second-generation networked immortal identity card throughout the Xiniu Hezhou.
At the same time, he also served as the Director of the Ministry of War's Armaments Department, personally directing and deploying resources from the immortals to establish three divine weapon factories, vigorously producing magic guns, magic cannons, and communication equipment for use on the battlefield.

Of course, the immortals and gods, including the Qingliu faction, were more or less wary of this demonic monk, and therefore established a very strict monitoring system.

But just like Li Shimin back then, he wanted him to help him achieve great things, but also wanted to completely restrict him, while he himself knew nothing about technology.

Wanting both, wanting more, and wanting more—is that even possible?
With immense resources from the immortal realm at his disposal, Tang Xuanci frantically expanded production, secretly enriching himself, and also collected a vast amount of data and intelligence to feed to Beaker for learning, making him feel like a fish in water.

If he had to set a timeframe for this demon-slaying campaign, he hoped it would be:

Six and a half years.

……

Two and a half months later.

Azhou City God Temple, Moshengdu North Office.

A man clad in fine armor and wearing a double-edged sword sat on a grand chair, smoking a cigarette between his fingers.

Several fierce-looking heavenly generals stood behind him.

One of the giants from the Northern Wilderness, whose head nearly touched the ten-meter-high ceiling, looked down at Lord Chen, who sat on the main seat, and said sternly:

"We don't care about any procedures!"
"The situation is now dire."

"100,000 rounds of Firepoint bullets (an upgraded version of Mach bullets), 1,000 Demon Slayer armor-piercing cannons, 8,000 AK47 Pro Max3s with less than half of their parts damaged, and 200 Barrett Ultra 3s."

"The other supplies on the list must be delivered to our camp within ten days. Tell Tang Xuanci that not a single bullet can be missing; otherwise, if the battle is delayed, he will be held responsible!"

Before Lord Chen could speak, Sha Wujing, standing to the side, laughed:

“The magic guns and cannons are very expensive to make, and my master can’t conjure them out of thin air.”

"Moreover, Heaven has its laws, and the military has its regulations."

"More than 200,000 heavenly soldiers are divided into more than 20 factions. If each faction's leader bypasses the Ministry of War and demands weapons and supplies on his own, it will likely disrupt military affairs and delay the battle."

"I fully understand the feelings of Commander Lu and his generals."

"I've heard that King Si's counterattack in the Chechi Kingdom is fierce, and the Demon-Slaying Army is struggling against him and is on the verge of retreating."

"fart!"

The giant general roared in anger:

"What do you mean by fighting hard but being defeated? That was a tactical retreat!"

"Who do you think you are, a lowly monster with no official position, daring to spout nonsense here?"

"Tang Xuanci, let him come out and answer me himself."

Upon hearing that the other party dared to tell Gege to get out, Lord Chen was immediately displeased and said in a coquettish voice:
"Who do you think you are? Are you any higher up than me, daring to yell at me like that?"

The giant was taken aback at first, then laughed angrily, and said:
"You are merely the City God of Shangdu, a minor immortal of the sixth rank. Not to mention our commander, even my rank is no lower than yours!"

Ah this?

Chen Xiaoke was stunned. She cast a clear but foolish look at Sha Wujing and asked, "Really?"

But then Sha Wujing laughed directly:

"Hey, so what if one is better or worse?"

“I remember Master often told my eldest brother, ‘You be the Great Sage, and I will carry manure. As long as we are both doing this to save all sentient beings, there is no distinction between high and low.’”

"Commander Lu wants guns and cannons, also for the sake of saving all living beings. I will definitely tell my master, and I believe he will do his best to meet your needs."

Upon hearing this, Commander Lu silently finished his last puff of cigarette and casually stubbed it out.

With a loud crash, the ashtray on the table shattered into pieces.

"What a wonderful phrase, 'saving all living beings'!"
"What a fine saying, 'Heaven has its laws, and the army has its rules.'"

"Your state of Azhou is neither the capital nor a military stronghold, yet you have recruited tens of thousands of celestial messengers and privately possessed tens of thousands of guns and cannons, which is a serious violation of the Ministry of War's prohibitions."

"If investigated, not only Tang Xuanci, but even you, the City God, will not escape punishment."

“I was already aware of these circumstances, and I had the Ministry of War’s Armory Division and Inspection Division file a case.”

"The situation at the front is urgent, and I don't have time to waste with you."

"I'll give you one last chance. Ask Tang Xuanci right now whether my request can be fulfilled or not."

He spoke expressionlessly, took out a messenger talisman, and gently tossed it into the air, causing it to float.

The threat is self-evident.

Even Chen Xiaoke understood, and hurriedly looked at Sha Wujing, asking in a low voice, "What should we do? Should we... tell Gege first?"

Sha Wujing frowned and said:
"Master holds many positions and is very busy with celestial affairs, so I'm afraid we won't be able to contact him for a while."

Commander Lu's eyes sharpened, and without saying a word, he made the divine talisman shine brightly, then rippled and disappeared.

Not long after, all three telephones on the desk rang at the same time, and someone ran in from outside to report an emergency.

It is said that a large number of soldiers have surrounded the four branches of the Ministry of Justice, as well as the largest armory in Jinxianling and Moshengdu Prefecture, to inspect the magical artifacts inside and to arrest people to be taken back to the Ministry of War for questioning.

Good guy~
Now even Chen Xiaoke understood that the other party had obviously come prepared!
