The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 363 Blocking the Door
When Pigsy went to find the Monkey King, he was not only clever, but also very timid.

Monkeys are so powerful, yet they've all disappeared.

So although Old Pig mustered up his courage to explore Lion Camel Ridge, he only dared to keep watch from outside the cave.

And sure enough, they not only encountered the gossipy Little Drill Wind, but also overheard the news that Sun Wukong had been captured.

They even heard about the monkey being locked up underground.

Fortunately, Sun Wukong was powerful enough that the Green Lion, White Elephant, and Golden-Winged Roc tried every means to kill the monkey.

But they couldn't do anything about the monkey, which put Old Pig at ease.

Just as he was about to go back to find Li Jingxiao, he suddenly saw Li Jingxiao appear beside him.

When Lao Zhu saw Li Jingxiao, it was as if he had seen a relative.

She almost burst into tears while hugging Li Jingxiao.

Moreover, at this moment, Pigsy sincerely hoped that Li Jingxiao would become stronger than before.

Don't be fooled by Pigsy's constant talk of breaking up the group.

But Pigsy wasn't stupid; in fact, he was probably the most astute and shrewd of the three brothers, the one who knew how to assess situations best.

So although Old Pig often talks about breaking up the group, it's really just a case of 'the squeaky wheel gets the grease'.

They would occasionally exchange a few words, and Tang Sanzang had to give in to him.

Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing would also give him some leeway.

Even monkeys sometimes know that they cannot defeat a certain demon by themselves.

You also have to promise him benefits to curry favor.

Of course, after defeating the demon, the petty monkey would also try to trick Pigsy.

The relationship between the two brothers, amidst their bickering and arguing, did indeed develop into a bond, and they gradually came to truly regard each other as brothers.

Li Jingxiao rolled his eyes repeatedly at Zhu Bajie's pretentious act.

However, the tens of thousands of lesser demons around them were no match for Sun Wukong's strength, who could defeat them all by himself.

Even a few hundred powerful lesser demons were enough to force the old pig to flee.

Therefore, Li Jingxiao did not blame Lao Zhu.

After listening to the news that Pigsy had heard from the mouth of the little wind.

I couldn't help but sigh inwardly; even though Journey to the West has a theatrical element to it.

But Sun Wukong did indeed have a very difficult journey.

The master was a burden; his two junior brothers were not capable enough, so he was the only one who could carry the team.

Moreover, along the way, there are many demons with powerful backers and influential figures.

Although they can fight these demons, they cannot kill them.

That really put the monkey in a difficult position.

No wonder Buddha chose Sun Wukong.

Otherwise, if someone else were to be the senior disciple, they wouldn't even make it to Lion Camel Ridge.

They probably couldn't even get past the Black Bear Spirit back then.

He basically couldn't get past the following challenges: Huang Feng Dasheng, Jin Jiao Yin Jiao, Du Jiao Da Wang, Niu Mo Wang, Huang Mei Da Wang, and Bai Yan Mo Jun.

Moreover, once the three disciples are chosen, they will all be formidable individuals.

The journey to obtain the scriptures will inevitably be even more difficult.

On the contrary, the best combination is one strong player paired with two weaker players.

Otherwise, let Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, and Nezha take Tang Sanzang on his journey to the West.

They're certainly formidable, but with three such treacherous individuals working together, they're bound to cause a huge uproar at any moment.

Thinking of this, Li Jingxiao suddenly felt that Sun Wukong's final title of "Fighting Buddha" was one that the monkey had earned through his own hard work and fighting.

He patted Pigsy on the shoulder and said, "Alright, you go back to Peacock Mountain and wait there."

I'll go investigate and ascertain the Great Sage's condition before making any decisions.

Upon hearing this, Pigsy nodded without hesitation.

He picked up the rake and turned to leave.

He didn't want to get involved in this mess; he might accidentally get himself killed.

Even if they eventually obtain the true scriptures, it won't be of any use to him anymore.

Now that Li Jingxiao knows how Sun Wukong was captured, rescuing him will be much easier.

Even during this ordeal, Tang Sanzang was not captured.

Once you start using many methods, you don't have as many reservations.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao was already 159 (2658 million/5900 million) at this time.

The blue lion, the white elephant, and the golden-winged roc were not his primary targets.

After thinking it over, he decided to wipe out the seventy or eighty thousand lesser demons on Lion Camel Ridge.

Someone has to hold off the Green Lion, White Elephant, and Golden-Winged Roc first.

With that thought in mind, Li Jingxiao originally intended to fly to Mount Putuo and the Tushita Palace.

Bring the Black Bear Demon, Red Boy, Golden Horn, Silver Horn, and Green Ox Demon to the scene.

But then I thought about it again, and realized that I had tens of thousands of gold beans that I hadn't used.

Why should we share the credit with Red Boy and the others?

Moreover, there were dozens of gods and Buddhas in the sky waiting to protect Tang Sanzang.

In case of an emergency, these people can be summoned anytime, anywhere.

Moreover, although Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing are not very strong, they can definitely hold off the White Elephant in a two-on-one fight.

He flew into the sky and carefully examined the arrangements made by the various lesser demons on Lion Camel Ridge once again.

There are five thousand each in the South Ridge and the North Ridge.

There are 10,000 at the east intersection and 10,000 at the west intersection.

There are four or five thousand on patrol and ten thousand guarding the gates.

The Nanling and Beiling Mountains are difficult to attack because they are mountain ranges.

However, it was easy for the lesser demons on the ridge to support the Lion Camel Cave entrance.

As for attacking the east and west intersections, Li Jingxiao was confident that if he went all out, he could easily eliminate tens of thousands of lesser demons.

I was afraid that if I killed them too quickly, the lesser demons would be so terrified that they would run away.

So after thinking about it, Li Jingxiao simply blocked the entrance to the Lion Camel Cave.

Lure the 34,000 to 35,000 lesser demons from the South Ridge, North Ridge, East and West intersections, and the patrolling area towards the cave gate to provide support.

Once these lesser demons are gathered near the cave entrance, they won't be able to escape much when it's time to clear them out.

It can also trap all twenty or thirty thousand lesser demons inside the cave.

As for the Green Lion, White Elephant, and Golden-Winged Roc.

Li Jingxiao wasn't bragging, but capturing the three of them wouldn't be difficult at all.

The Haotian Mirror could easily freeze one of the three of them.

If the three are close together, they can even freeze all three demons in place.

Binding rope and purple-gold gourd.

The Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle, and the Yin-Yang Two Qi Gourd crafted based on the principles of Yin and Yang.

They could easily subdue the Green Lion, the White Elephant, and the Golden-Winged Roc.

Even if you only need to subdue one of the three demons, the other two, if they're not stupid, will run away on their own.

Moreover, the blue lion and white elephant are the mounts of Samantabhadra and Manjushri Bodhisattvas.

Once the three demons fail, the Bodhisattva himself will appear and take them to his own temple.

And the Buddha will surely subdue the Golden-Winged Roc, after all, this guy swallowed the entire human population of the Lion Camel Kingdom in one gulp back then.

And since he was obsessed with eating Tang Sanzang, he can be said to be the main culprit of the Lion Camel Ridge disaster.

If we don't subdue him and imprison him on Mount Ling, it's like slapping the Buddha in the face.

If things go wrong, he might be subdued by someone like Li Jingxiao and taken to the Heavenly Court to be punished.

That would truly be a disgrace to Lingshan.

Therefore, Li Jingxiao was absolutely certain after the ordeal at Lion Camel Ridge.

The Green Lion, White Elephant, and Golden-Winged Roc would never, and had no chance to, continue to cause trouble for him.

Moreover, the longer it drags on, the less afraid Li Jingxiao is of them causing trouble.

After having an idea, Li Jingxiao originally planned to go and block the door himself.

But then he thought again and flew away to Peacock Mountain invisibly.

Summon Pigsy and Sandy. Let them shout and curse at the cave entrance, demanding Sun Wukong; that will make their demands seem even more legitimate.

If the Green Lion and his two companions really release Sun Wukong, things will get interesting.

Given the monkey's vengeful nature, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.

Moreover, the monkey was already embarrassed by being caught by mistake.

Having been saved by his friend Li Jingxiao, he would definitely try his best to save face.

If the monkeys acted recklessly, it wouldn't be impossible for them to kill the blue lion or the white elephant.

Therefore, releasing Sun Wukong would actually be detrimental to the Green Lion, White Elephant, and Golden-Winged Roc.

If the monkey isn't released, Pigsy and Sandy will have enough resources to block the gate.

And as his accomplice, he also had a reason to block the door.

Even killing the minor demons on Lion Camel Ridge.

When Pigsy and Sandy heard Li Jingxiao's plan, they couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

This guy is trying to wipe out Lion Camel Ridge completely.

He thought to himself that Li Jingxiao was usually very kind, but if he really offended him...

Not only are they relentless in seeking revenge, but they also have a penchant for killing off all their enemies at the drop of a hat.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao said that he could summon tens of thousands of Tushita Palaces or golden-armored warriors under the command of Zhenwu Emperor to descend to the mortal world at any time.

This means that the two brothers and Li Jingxiao only need to focus on dealing with the Green Lion, White Elephant, and Golden-Winged Roc.

And there's no need to worry about the little demons.

It was a three-on-three situation, and Li Jingxiao's martial arts skills were in no way inferior to Sun Wukong's.

But its magical weapons and supernatural powers are far superior to those of the monkey.

Thinking about it this way, the odds of winning in a three-on-three situation are actually much higher.

In particular, Li Jingxiao said that he could call over the Six Ding Six Jia and the Five Directions Jiedi to help at any time.

The four duty officers and the eighteen guardians remained at Peacock Mountain to protect Tang Sanzang.

With the help of the Six Ding and Six Jia, and the Five Directions Jiedi, it's like having 17 more powerful helpers.

Pigsy and Sandy were immediately in high spirits and followed Li Jingxiao to Lion Camel Ridge with great pride.

Along the way, Pigsy kept muttering to Li Jingxiao, after Sun Wukong was rescued.

They just had to make a few sarcastic remarks about the monkey.

Sha Wujing opened his mouth, wanting to advise Zhu Bajie to behave himself.

So that the monkey wouldn't get angry and beat Pigsy up immediately.

On the journey westward, I will definitely find opportunities to tease and trick Pigsy a few times.

But then I thought, it wouldn't be a bad thing to let the eldest brother teach the second brother a lesson.

Not only can it make Pigsy behave, but it can also prevent the two senior brothers from having conflicts.

Ironically, he, the third son, became someone both of them would try to win over.

What's wrong with being popular on both ends?
Soon, we arrived above Lion Camel Ridge.

Li Jingxiao was the first to fly conspicuously above Lion Camel Cave.

It emitted golden light from its entire body, resembling a small sun in the air.

It attracted the attention of the little demons from the South Ridge, North Ridge, East-West intersection, and patrolling areas.

Only then did he take out the golden bean, and while circulating his magic power, he also held the purple lightning hammer in his hand.

There were also five Five Thunder Pearls rotating around his body.

The power of the lightning magic instantly increased six or seven times.

With Li Jingxiao's current cultivation level, the golden-armored warriors summoned by "Scattering Beans to Form Soldiers" would definitely be able to summon the golden-armored warriors in their prime.

With the Five Thunder Gods of Shenxiao attached to the golden bean, he instantly summoned five hundred golden-armored warriors.

Their combat power is actually three points stronger than the golden-armored warriors in Heaven.

The only drawback is that once the defense limit of the golden beans is broken, these golden-armored warriors will have to return to the Heavenly Court.

However, before it was destroyed, the Divine Lightning of the Five Heavens on the golden-armored warrior suddenly exploded.

It's a giant bomb with lightning attributes.

After summoning five hundred Five Thunder Warriors, they immediately attacked the gate of Lion Camel Cave.

They fought fiercely with tens of thousands of elite lesser demons guarding the cave.

Li Jingxiao only spent 10 seconds in the air to fully recover the magic power he had used to summon the five hundred golden-armored warriors.

With a casual flick of his wrist, he unleashed the "Scattering Beans to Create Soldiers" technique.

Another five hundred Five Thunder Warriors were summoned.

Of the first batch of five hundred, none had their defenses breached.

In just over a minute, a full three thousand golden-armored warriors appeared outside the gate of Lion Camel Cave.

They completely blocked off the cave.

Moreover, if it weren't for the limited space, summoning 20,000 or 30,000 wouldn't be difficult.

These golden-armored warriors, being at their peak, were not only strong but also extremely intelligent.

Li Jingxiao was not only adept at commanding, but also possessed an extremely strong fighting spirit.

Li Jingxiao casually cast the "Spring Breeze and Rain Technique" to heal the golden-armored warriors blocking the front line.

These three thousand strongmen only know how to take turns.

As a result, Li Jingxiao only needed to release the "Spring Breeze and Rain Technique" from time to time to easily maintain the number of three thousand people.

At this moment, Pigsy and Sandy had already clearly seen the fighting power of these golden-armored warriors from the sky.

Only then did the old pig feel relieved enough to fly down and hide behind the strongman who was blocking the gate, cursing and yelling.

What a cat that's been afflicted with plague.

Shrimp with weak legs.

A featherless sparrow.

The green lion, white elephant, and golden-winged roc were furious upon hearing this.

The three brothers knew that even if they joined forces, they couldn't defeat Li Jingxiao.

Not to mention that Li Jingxiao also has two helpers, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing.

The chances of winning are even lower.

Three thousand golden-armored warriors outside the gate were engaged in a chaotic battle with tens of thousands of elite demons inside and outside the cave.

The three of them, Qing Shi and his companions, thought to themselves that there were already seventy or eighty thousand lesser demons on Lion Camel Ridge.

There are 35,000 soldiers outside the cave who are capable of fighting.

Inside the cave, there are 1 people inside and outside the gate.

There are also 1 in the second gate.

There were also three thousand truly elite veterans who usually guarded the three brothers.

If you add in the miscellaneous demons, the number would be as high as seventy or eighty thousand.

I refuse to believe that so many lesser demons can't defeat Li Jingxiao's three thousand golden-armored warriors.

Furthermore, there are several villains we've recruited over the past year.

Not only are they highly skilled, but they also command at least three to five thousand soldiers.

So the Green Lion and White Elephant roared, using their voices to command the demons at the South Ridge, North Ridge, East and West intersections, and the patrolling demons to support the gate.

They besieged Li Jingxiao, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and three thousand strongmen.

They even had the Golden-Winged Roc use its wall-penetrating technique to sneak out of the Lion Camel Cave, taking advantage of its speed.

Go and gather all the demons and their henchmen.

We must trap Li Jingxiao on Lion Camel Ridge and kill him.

The Golden-Winged Roc was actually unwilling to encounter Li Jingxiao alone.

After suffering several major losses, anyone would back down.

Therefore, I wholeheartedly agree to the decision made by the Green Lion and the White Elephant.

Moreover, as long as he is outside the cave, he will immediately flee if the situation turns unfavorable.

The Golden-Winged Roc was quite confident in its speed.

If I can't win, I'll run away and hide.

If you hide for ten or eight years, or thirty or fifty years, and then come out again, you'll be a hero again.

The first place the Roc went to was Yunjianchuan.
