The Great Bandit of Journey to the West

Chapter 177 We should thank you!

Jiang Feng summoned Guan Yu's spirit, dragged the Green Dragon Crescent Blade to the ground, and charged towards the snow lion with its unpredictable movements.

As the two figures crossed paths, a cold light pierced the sky. The snow lion landed and ran a hundred feet before its head was severed from its body, blood gushing from its neck as it fell to the ground.

Jiang Feng didn't turn around to look at the Snow Lion. He sheathed his broadsword, looked at the Nine-Headed Lion who was fighting Wukong in the air, and then poured a cup of hot wine, handing it from his left hand to his right.

"Lord Guan, drink this cup of hot wine before you go and slay that Nine-Headed Lion."

Guan Yu tilted his head back and drank the hot wine in his cup in one gulp, saying, "Good!"

Jiang Feng was slightly taken aback: "Isn't this a bit odd? Shouldn't you have made a pledge, saying that if you lose, you'd behead someone, and then brought back the wine while his head was still warm?"

Guan Yu casually tossed aside his wine cup and said indifferently, "Do you think I'm out of my mind? Warm wine to kill the Nine-Headed Lion? You might as well let me warm wine to kill Buddha."

Jiang Feng considered his suggestion and said, "It's not necessarily a bad thing."

"ha???"

Guan Yu was utterly shocked, then said in a weak voice, "Please, have mercy and ask me to possess you less often in the future. I'm truly afraid that one day you'll influence my mind so much that I might suddenly have a fit when I see Buddha and stab him!"

Having said that, he reversed the Green Dragon Crescent Blade and charged towards the Nine-Headed Lion Saint in the air.

At this moment, Wukong had figured out the Nine-Headed Lion's moves, and he pressed down on the Nine-Headed Lion, hitting him several times until he cried out in pain.

Upon seeing Jiang Feng approach, he suddenly separated a lion's head and lunged at Jiang Feng.

Possessed by Guan Yu, Jiang Feng reacted swiftly, holding the Green Dragon Crescent Blade upright in front of him and retreating backward.

With a hiss, the lion's head bit down on the broadsword, and the sharp blade immediately pierced through the gaping maw, protruding from the lion's face.

"Ah!" Nine-Headed Lion Yuan Sheng screamed, then was hit by Wukong's staff and shrank back.

At this moment, Jiang Feng had switched to using an armor-piercing dagger, and said with a compassionate expression, "Yuan Sheng'er, you are probably ill. This humble monk will help you remove the tumor on your neck and help you recover your health."

Nine-Headed Lion: "??"

I have a lump on my neck, how come I didn't know?

Before Nine-Headed Lion could react, Jiang Feng sliced ​​off the tumor he had discovered, then dashed away, sighing regretfully, "Alas, this seems to be a malignant tumor. Even after removing one, there are still eight left—"

"Screw that tumor, that's my head!"

After Jiang Feng cut off one of Nine-Headed Lion's heads, the intense pain enraged him, and he desperately tried to bite Jiang Feng to death. However, Wukong held him back and used his golden cudgel to beat his remaining eight heads repeatedly.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Feng couldn't help but chuckle: "Wukong, are you playing whack-a-mole? Why aren't you getting any rewards? Try hitting harder."

As he spoke, he used his invisibility spell to silently circle behind Nine Spirits Primordial Saint, severing another of his heads, and then cautiously ran away.

Seeing the Nine-Headed Lion King wailing in grief, he comforted him with a kind expression, "There are still seven left after this one is cut off. Yuan Sheng'er, just bear with it a little longer. After it's all cut off, you won't feel any pain, or even any sensation at all."

"You're spouting nonsense! I'm going to kill you!"

Nine-Headed Lion was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he wanted to bite Jiang Feng's head off. However, without two heads, he was no match for Wukong and had no power to deal with Jiang Feng.

"Monster, prepare to die!"

Seeing that the old lion was exhausted, Wukong stopped playing around with Jiang Feng. With a sharp look in his eyes, he swept his staff across the chest of the Nine-Headed Lion, slamming him hard to the ground.

Jiang Feng stepped forward and with a swift stroke, several flashes of cold light appeared, and the remaining seven lion heads of the Nine-Spirit Primordial Saint were chopped off by Jiang Feng.

o

Before the Nine-Headed Lion could use his magic to reconnect the head, Jiang Feng plunged the Demon-Subduing Pestle into the man's heart, rendering him immobile.

As Jiang Feng skillfully cremated him on the spot, his nine heads also completely lost their life force.

At this time, Bai Suzhen and the others had rescued Bajie and Wujing and killed all the demons under the command of the Nine-Headed Lion.

Arriving in front of Jiang Feng, Bai Suzhen said with a worried expression, "Alas, this time we've offended even the Heavenly Venerable Taiyi."

Jiang Feng bowed to the sky with admiration and said, "Taiyi Tianzun is not as petty as you think. Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun is an immortal who specializes in relieving suffering and distress. How could he let his mount do evil in the mortal world? He just went to relieve suffering and distress elsewhere and didn't have time to leave."

Moreover, when he preached, his Dharma image was that of someone seated on a nine-colored lotus throne, supported by nine-headed lions, breathing flames, and surrounded by nine-colored divine light.

In other words, he has at least eight more lions, if not more.

With the example of the Nine-Headed Lion as a precedent, the remaining lions under his command will be obedient and benevolent. I'm just showing him great mercy by helping him tame the lions; he should be thanking us!

Taiyi Tianzun: "————"

Above the clouds, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva looked at Taiyi Tianzun, who had arrived a step too late, and teased, "Taiyi Tianzun, did you hear that? Someone helped you so much, why don't you go down and thank him?"

Taiyi Tianzun laughed and scolded, "You bald thief, how dare you mock me! Aren't you afraid I'll send your Di Ting to their road too!"

Taiyi Tianzun sighed helplessly: "If my lions were as intelligent as Di Ting, they wouldn't have ended up in this state."

Strangely enough, when I sensed that this beast was in trouble and rushed to save him, I first encountered the Seventh Princess asking me for money, and then the Moon Goddess asking me for directions, which is why I was a step too late.

"Alas, it seems Yuan Sheng'er was destined to die."

"The Moon Goddess?"

Ksitigarbha was shocked that the Old Man of the Moon was still exerting his influence, and said with a strange expression, "Hmm, perhaps this is the will of Heaven—"

Then he changed the subject and chatted with Taiyi Tianzun for a few words, watching Taiyi Tianzun leave. Afterwards, he looked towards the East Sea with a sigh: "Old Man of the Moon, how could a person cause such a big disaster?"

[Your compassion and kindness in removing the nine tumors from the neck of the Nine-Headed Lion King free of charge have moved Heaven, and you are rewarded with the "Healing God's Legacy"]

[Your compassion and mercy helped Taiyi Tianzun tame eight unruly lions. Your boundless love moved Heaven, and you are rewarded with mastery of the "Lion's Roar" technique.]

After receiving the reward, Jiang Feng instructed Wukong and the others to collect the carcasses of over a thousand wild beasts and distribute them to the poor people in the nearby county.

Over the next few days, he taught King Yuhua some things, and then continued his journey westward amidst the reluctant farewells of King Yuhua and the three princes, heading towards the Chechi Kingdom that had suddenly appeared to the west of Yuhua Prefecture.
