The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 314 Join forces
When Li Jingxiao arrived at Pingdingshan, he was thinking of going to find Sun Wukong, Pigsy, and the others first.

If they team up to scheme against Golden Horn and Silver Horn, their chances of seizing Laozi's Purple-Gold Red Gourd will naturally be much greater.

But then I thought about it again, and there's a big difference between actively seizing something and passively fighting back, and then seizing it again.

At the very least, we must not offend Laozi.

Therefore, Li Jingxiao used his clairvoyance to quickly discover the pilgrimage team.

Watching Silver Horn and Sun Wukong engage in a battle of wits and courage.

Unfortunately, the monkey had more than just Tang Sanzang, that useless little devil, by his side.

And then there's Pigsy, that troublemaking teammate.

Li Jingxiao remained hidden in the air, deliberately staying away from Tang Sanzang's bodyguards, the Six Ding and Six Jia, and the Eighteen Garan.

From the air, he saw three enormous mountains stacked together, pressing down on Sun Wukong.

This was one of the rare times on Sun Wukong's journey to the West that he was truly restrained.

Even if he knew the "Mountain Carrying" technique from the Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earthly Fiends, a mountain would be nothing to him.

Even if it's two mountains, carrying them on two shoulders is like carrying two loads of rice.

However, these three mountains are Mount Sumeru, Mount Emei, and Mount Tai, representing 'humanity, Buddhism, and Taoism'.

Not only did it suppress Sun Wukong, but it also made his muscles and bones feel numb and caused him to bleed from all seven orifices.

Moreover, although Sun Wukong can perform seventy-two transformations, Silver Horn uses the "Whip Mountain and Move Stone" technique from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Arts.

Sun Wukong was at a loss.

After Silver Horn left, Li Jingxiao hurriedly flew down from the sky.

When Sun Wukong saw that the person who came was Li Jingxiao, he was overjoyed.

He hurriedly called out, "Where are you going, my dear brother?"

Seeing that he could still speak and had a strong voice, Li Jingxiao thought to himself that Monkey King's indestructible body was truly remarkable.

He was bleeding from all seven orifices, yet he acted as if nothing had happened.

They mentioned that a few days ago, several fox spirits had been spying and investigating outside the Wave Moon Cave.

On the one hand, he said that he followed one of the foxes and investigated all the way to 'Hidden Moon Mountain and Dragon-Suppressing Cave'.

I overheard an old fox woman mentioning a past grudge, and I also learned that this was the Lotus Cave on Pingdingshan Mountain.

There are two brothers, Golden Horn and Silver Horn, who are the old fox's own sons.

That's why I thought of coming over to take a look and test the quality of the gold and silver horns.

To avoid being caught off guard and suffering losses due to not knowing the opponent's methods when a fight breaks out.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong couldn't help but start cursing Zhu Bajie.

I sent him to patrol the mountains before, but that idiot actually hid and went to sleep.

They said, 'This mountain is called Stone Mountain, and the monsters on it live in a place called Stone Cave.'

Li Jingxiao, unaware of Sun Wukong's thoughts, chanted a spell.

He lifted his foot and stomped on the ground.

Before long, the mountain god and the local earth god rushed over.

Before Li Jingxiao could speak, Sun Wukong, upon seeing the mountain god, grumbled, "You two fools, why did you move mountains and whip rocks to suppress me, old Sun?"

The mountain god and the local earth god did not recognize Sun Wukong.

Of course, they might also pretend not to know each other.

But since Li Jingxiao used the technique of "Spirit Binding and General Summoning" to summon them.

The mountain god and the earth god naturally understood that the Taoist priest before them was not only powerful but also of high status.

Otherwise, how could they have so easily detained us?

He hurriedly bowed to Li Jingxiao.

Li Jingxiao pointed at Sun Wukong and said, "This is the Great Sage Sun who made havoc in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago. You all have quite the nerve."

They actually dared to use force to suppress him.

Aren't you afraid that the Great Sage will report you to the Great Heavenly Venerable and punish you?

The mountain god and the earth god panicked upon hearing this.

Although Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, he was imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years.

However, the Heavenly Court never stripped him of his title of Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

Moreover, they've already caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, so their strength is undeniable.

Therefore, to the mountain gods and local deities, it's like a ninth-rank official using supernatural powers to fight a first-rank official.

It's a miracle they didn't pee their pants from fear.

However, Sun Wukong never bullies lower-level immortals and gods, which is sometimes not a good thing.

To put it bluntly, these mountain gods and local deities knew that the monkey wouldn't do anything to them.

That's why he listened to Silver Horn and moved the mountain to suppress Sun Wukong.

The mountain god hurriedly bowed and said, "Forgive me, forgive me."

Then, while moving the three mountains away, he said that the two demons in Pingdingshan were really powerful.

On ordinary days, he would summon these mountain gods and local deities to the Lotus Cave to obey his commands.

If things don't go their way, they'll either beat or scold you.

The mountain gods and local deities suffered greatly before they were forced to obey the demon's orders and move the three mountains over.

After the three mountains were moved and Sun Wukong was freed, upon hearing this, he indeed lost his will to punish the mountain god and the earth god.

The mountain god and the earth god waved to the group, and they quickly bowed and took their leave.

Seeing this, Li Jingxiao couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

The way Sun Wukong handled things so lightly shows he's not cut out to be an official.

Just as Sun Wukong was about to speak with Li Jingxiao, he suddenly sensed a dazzling light in the distance.

He hurriedly called out to Li Jingxiao, "Brother, look over there, there's a dazzling light. I wonder what kind of treasure it is."

Li Jingxiao looked back and his heart stirred.

After thinking about it carefully, they quickly guessed that it must have been Jinjiao and Yinjiao who deliberately let the two trusted men, Jingxigui and Linglichong, go easy on them.

He came with a purple-gold gourd and a jade bottle to capture Sun Wukong.

But if it wasn't intentional, then it means that the intelligence of Golden Horn and Silver Horn is truly worrying.

Of course, it's also possible that Golden Horn and Silver Horn have been reincarnated and even entered the belly of a fox spirit.

If one hasn't awakened their past life memories, then a lack of intelligence is understandable.

Li Jingxiao immediately had an idea.

He said with a smile, "Great Sage, no matter what kind of treasure it is, let's go take a look."

If there's only one, the younger brother will lend a hand to the older brother so that he can have something to rely on if he manages to snatch it.

If there are two, then we brothers will each take one, so as not to ruin our friendship.

Sun Wukong nodded hurriedly, praising Li Jingxiao for his righteousness.

Li Jingxiao also tossed a jar of 'Jade Dew Wine' to Sun Wukong.

This wine not only tastes excellent, but it can also speed up the recovery process.

After drinking it, Monkey King immediately felt the benefits of the wine.

While repeatedly expressing his gratitude, he thought to himself.

If the treasure doesn't suit my taste when I finally get it, I'll give it to my virtuous brother.

If there are two, then let your younger brother choose first.

In this respect, monkeys are indeed loyal.

Sometimes she can be really generous.

But if you offend him, the monkey's revenge will never end.

The two flew for a while and saw in the air that Fine Ghost and Clever Insect were each carrying a gourd and a jade bottle.

His face immediately lit up with joy.

Li Jingxiao thought for a moment, then took out a +1 purple-gold gourd from his inventory and said.

"Great Sage, this gourd of mine also has some supernatural powers, but unfortunately it can only capture minor demons and monsters."

Or perhaps it could be used as a gourd to hold some spirit wine.

Just then, the two little demons were seen carrying two treasures.

Why don't you give that gourd to my younger brother?

Sun Wukong nodded without hesitation.

Then, with a quick glance, he transformed into a Taoist priest like Li Jingxiao.

Wearing a lotus crown and a purple robe with the Eight Trigrams.

He wore moon-patterned boots and held a whisk in his hand.

He did indeed have an air of otherworldly elegance. He chuckled and took the gourd from Li Jingxiao's hand, saying, "Brother, wait a moment, let me go and coax those two little demons."

Li Jingxiao also wanted to take action himself, but then he thought that he had no connection with the gods and immortals in the Heavenly Court.

We couldn't get Nezha, the Third Prince, to cooperate and cover up the sky.

He could only nod and remain hidden on the hilltop.

Watching Sun Wukong pluck a hair and transform it into a clone of himself in the distance.

Pretending to be crushed by a mountain.

Then, with just a few words, they fooled the shrewd and clever.

The spell used a soul-shedding technique.

His spirit flew up to the heavens to seek help from Nezha, the Third Prince.

Then, his spirit returned to its place, and he pretended to chant incantations, while dusting the wine gourd.

The third prince in the sky immediately cooperated and covered the sky.

The clever devil and the nimble insect were indeed clever; their task was to use their two treasures to capture Sun Wukong.

Seeing the gourd in Sun Wukong's hand, they realized that it had not only acquired their mission objective.

It can even hold the sky.

They immediately discussed exchanging their two treasures for Sun Wukong's wine gourd.

Needless to say, the meticulous ghost and the clever insect happily took the wine gourd back to report.

Li Jingxiao and Sun Wukong each received a treasure.

After obtaining the genuine Purple Gold Red Gourd, Li Jingxiao immediately sent his game character to the Refining Workshop for analysis.

Moreover, in order to buy time, they made the excuse that it was getting late and suggested that they go to the Lotus Cave the next day to find a way to rescue Tang Sanzang and the others.

Having just suffered a great loss, the monkey was already thinking about keeping Li Jingxiao with him to help rescue people.

Therefore, as long as Li Jingxiao's suggestion is reasonable, why would anyone refuse it?

Li Jingxiao's purpose was simply to buy time.

To avoid dealing with Golden Horn and Silver Horn in a day or two and then attracting the attention of Laozi.

Then Laozi will definitely take back the gourd and the golden rope in his hand.

After returning to Lotus Cave, the clever ghost and the quick-witted insect soon discovered that the gourd was fake.

No, the gourd in the game is actually a magic weapon.

It's just that it lacks the ability to put the sky into a gourd.

When Golden Horn and Silver Horn saw that they had lost two treasures, they realized they couldn't defeat Sun Wukong, so they had no choice but to ask their mother for help.

They came with the Golden Rope to capture Sun Wukong.

The monkey and Li Jingxiao easily discovered the whereabouts of the two little demons.

Sun Wukong also wanted to transform into a little demon and go with the clever ghost and the nimble insect to invite the fox spirit.

But Li Jingxiao smiled and took out the Golden Rope from his inventory.

"No need for that. Just look in the direction those two little monsters went."

They should go find that old fox and borrow this golden rope to capture you.

But now that we have the treasure, why bother going through all that trouble to make a trip to Yalong Cave?

Why not wait halfway there and beat that vixen to death with a single blow?

Great Sage, you transform into a fox spirit, and your younger brother will transform into Uncle Golden Horn and Uncle Silver Horn, Fox Aqi.

"Once inside the Lotus Cave, see if there's an opportunity to capture those two demons directly."

"Good idea, good idea."

The monkey nodded repeatedly.

In his mind, Li Jingxiao's martial arts skills were not as good as his.

But the destructive power of Taoist magic and supernatural abilities is far greater than his own.

With each of them taking on one, it was a piece of cake.

So without Sun Wukong causing trouble, the clever ghost and the nimble insect spent a whole day on their way to the Dragon-Suppressing Cave.

The old fox only discovered yesterday that the Golden Rope was missing.

My mind was completely focused on finding my treasure; I had no interest in going to Lotus Cave.

They searched for two days but found no clues.

Instead, they began to feel that staying in the Dragon-Suppressing Cave was no longer safe.

Moreover, Jinjiao and Yinjiao sent the clever ghost and the witty insect to invite the old fox, using the excuse of eating Tang Sanzang's flesh.

Mother and child live forever.

This old fox then led over a hundred of his men and his younger brother, Fox Seven, to join the ranks of Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

The morning of the third day.

The group of one hundred people headed towards Lotus Cave, and by the time they reached the halfway point, it was already midday.

A few days ago, after telling Monkey about his plan, Li Jingxiao scratched his head and gave an embarrassed look.

I haven't learned the art of transformation.

This greatly surprised the monkey.

But he did not hesitate to teach Li Jingxiao the "False Form" from the Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earthly Fiends.

False form: changing appearance, whether male or female, large or small, or divine birds and beasts, ever-changing.

When Li Jingxiao was teaching the monkey, he had the game character copy the text in the scripture pavilion of the game sect.

Once you've confirmed that this supernatural ability is working correctly, click to learn.

In an instant, the complete cultivation method was imprinted in his mind.

With Li Jingxiao's physical constitution of 169 and comprehension of 84, he has already mastered the complete cultivation method.

In just one night, he was already able to skillfully use the art of transformation.

Seeing this, Monkey King praised him for his extraordinary talent.

I even felt a little jealous.

Fortunately, the monkey is honest and straightforward, especially towards his trusted friends, he is always upright and open.

That old fox spirit delayed for two days. Li Jingxiao could not only change his appearance at will, but he had also deciphered the Purple Gold Red Gourd of the Supreme Lord Laozi in the game.

As long as the materials are available, you can upgrade the gourd's grade by using the gourd from the game as the main material.

Even so, its power is still not as great as the gourd that Laozi refined.

However, it can still be considered a celestial artifact.
-
Sun Wukong waited for three days, and he was already quite impatient.

If it weren't for the fact that Tang Sanzang was protected by Dharma protectors such as the Dharma Protector Garan and the Six Ding and Six Jia deities...

He had already infiltrated the Lotus Cave.

As the fox spirits' group approached, Sun Wukong quickly said to Li Jingxiao, "Brother, you go first, I'll keep an eye on that old fox."

In case she gets away.

Li Jingxiao nodded.

A flash of lightning appeared in his eyes, and the 'Thunderflame Sword' suddenly appeared on his back.

Thunder Magic Power +240%.

After Sun Wukong flew away, they prepared to launch a sneak attack.

Li Jingxiao suddenly unleashed two surging bolts of lightning from his hands.

Two sharp, crackling sounds.

It transformed into two streaks of lightning, striking directly at the group of over a hundred people.

This "Chain Lightning" lightning technique was created by Li Jingxiao based on the Palm Lightning technique.

After the lightning strikes the first target, it will automatically jump to the second, third, and fourth targets.

Until the thunder's energy is exhausted.

With the added power of the Thunderflame Sword, it's safe to say that Li Jingxiao's thunder magic is now so powerful that killing monsters is as easy as cheating.

Before the hundreds of lesser demons could even react, they were electrocuted into charcoal by a series of lightning bolts.

Even the old fox and Fox Ah Qi only had time to jump up.

However, he still couldn't escape the lightning's attack; his body was struck by lightning while in mid-air.

Intense lightning crackled from his entire body.

From a distance, you can see that his bones are charred and brittle from being electrocuted.

When it fell to the ground, it shattered into pieces.

Even Sun Wukong, who was preparing to launch a sneak attack, secretly thought, "Impressive!"
