The Tathāgata Must Fail

Chapter 40: The Battle of the Bull Demon King


Two days later, Sun Wukong was listening to the Buddhist Law taught by Guang Hui.

"Junior brother!"

Immortal Zhen Yuan rushed into the Shuilian Cave, hurriedly grabbed him, and went off.

Sun Wukong was startled: "Immortal, what happened?"

"Hurry and take me to the Northern Continent."

Immortal Zhen Yuan said: "You have the Somersault Cloud, which is just a tad faster than me."

Sun Wukong frowned: "What are we going to the Northern Continent for?"

"True Martial Great Emperor is leading tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to besiege the Demon Kingdom." Immortal Zhen Yuan answered: "This is sure to be the final battle."

"So what?"

"Those demons will surely scatter everywhere." Immortal Zhen Yuan said: "We'll take the chance to catch a Phoenix, with my relations with True Martial Great Emperor, he'll surely turn a blind eye."

Sun Wukong was stunned for a long time: "What do you want a Phoenix for?"

"To pull a chariot."

Immortal Zhen Yuan said contentedly: "The everlasting Fox King has agreed to make me a chariot, but his mana is too weak to catch a Phoenix."

Helplessly, Sun Wukong had to pull Immortal Zhen Yuan's hand and flew straight to the Northern Continent on a Somersault Cloud.

Immortal Zhen Yuan had gusty winds howling in his ears, luckily he had an Immortal Body, or else the wind would have torn him apart.

The two arrived at the Northern Continent and without approaching the battlefield, saw the sky far away blanketed with darkness.

Sun Wukong stopped the Somersault Cloud.

"What's wrong?"

Immortal Zhen Yuan snapped back to his senses and looked ahead, gasping in cool air.

That oppressive cloud was nothing else but densely packed demons, those countless demons blocked out the entire sunlight, swiftly rushing towards the two.

Just as they were about to be swallowed up by the demon horde, Immortal Zhen Yuan swept his sleeves, tearing a gap in the black cloud with the gust it created, making numerous demons scream as they fell towards the ground.

Seeing this scene, other demons were terrified to their souls and hurriedly scattered to both sides.

"We're too late."

Sun Wukong said.

With such a large group of demons fleeing, there was no question that the Demon Kingdom had been defeated.

"I told you to leave earlier, all because of your dawdling."

Immortal Zhen Yuan was about to complain when suddenly, he saw a bright light before him as a Phoenix flew off towards the west among the crowd of demons.

"I'll go catch it."

Immortal Zhen Yuan left Sun Wukong behind and chased after the Phoenix.

Some demons saw their formidable foe gone, once again rushing towards Sun Wukong's direction.

Just when Sun Wukong was about to make a move, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise, seeing a streak of white light flying this way.

"Bull Demon King!"

Sun Wukong shouted, and the white light came to an immediate halt.

Revealing his form, it was indeed the Bull Demon King.

"It's you!"

The Bull Demon King was covered in wounds at this moment: "How come you are here?"

"Just taking a look."

Sun Wukong slightly frowned: "As the Great King of the Demon Kingdom, how could you have fled here?"

"Mind your own business."

The Bull Demon King's face was ashen: "We weren't ready for this battle, next time, I will surely make True Martial Great Emperor die by my hand!"

Sun Wukong looked over the Bull Demon King's shoulder, besides some Ox Demons, his demons were avoiding him in fear.

"What about the other five Demon Saints?"

Sun Wukong asked: "Don't tell me they are still on the battlefield?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

An Ox Demon flew over, rebuking Sun Wukong loudly: "Our Great King is kind and honorable, how could he leave his brothers on the battlefield!"

Sun Wukong looked at the Bull Demon King, but saw the pain hidden in the depths of his eyes.

Thus Sun Wukong recited a Spell, and looking a thousand miles away, the scene of the battlefield immediately reflected in his view.

There the waves raged like mountains and boulders formed walls, two Demon Saints had created a Barrier, enclosing the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals inside, preventing them from pursuing the fleeing demons.

"So that's how it is."

Sun Wukong withdrew his gaze: "Jiao Demon King and Lion Camel King are indeed loyal."

Among the six Great Saints, two remained on the battlefield, namely the Great Saint who Restores Seas and the Great Saint who Moves Mountains.

Their divine skills were vast, using waves and giant walls to delay the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, giving the other Demon Saints the chance to flee—no wonder the Bull Demon King showed a pained expression.

"Monkey King, you and I are both Demon Saints."

The Bull Demon King suddenly had a brainwave, wanting to drag Sun Wukong down with him: "My two wise brothers are in trouble, can you lend me a hand?"

"Lend you a hand?"

Sun Wukong nodded: "What's so difficult about that."

He opened his mouth, took out a leaf, muttered a spell, and enlarged it.

Before the Bull Demon King could react, with a wave of Sun Wukong's Palm Leaf Fan, the Bull Demon King disappeared.

On the battlefield, Jiao Demon King and Lion Camel King struggled to hold on, and just when they could no longer bear it, the Bull Demon King descended from the sky, crashing directly onto the body of the Great Emperor Zhen Wu.

"Big brother!!!"

Jiao Demon King and Lion Camel King were teary-eyed with emotion: "How did you come back!"

It wasn't me who wanted to come back, it was that monkey who set me up!

The Bull Demon King felt like vomiting blood in his heart.

Before he could recover, he was blown away by a punch from the Great Emperor Zhen Wu, his bones nearly shattering.

The Bull Demon King created a huge crater on the ground.

"Big brother!"

Jiao Demon King and Lion Camel King rushed to his side, with eyes brimming with tears, they said: "We didn't expect you to be so loyal!"

The Bull Demon King grunted in acknowledgment, though his legs were a bit wobbly.

He could never have imagined that having just escaped from the battlefield, he would be back in the blink of an eye.

What exactly was that thing in the monkey's hand, and how could it be so powerful.

There was no choice but to tough it out.

The Bull Demon King looked at his two brothers with eyes filled with tears, clenched his teeth, and declared resolutely: "Wise younger brothers, don't worry, let me hold back the Great Emperor Zhen Wu!"

"Big brother!!"

Jiao Demon King and Lion Camel King were profoundly moved.

Big brother knew they couldn't hold on much longer and came specially to rescue them.

Where else could they find such a big brother!

Jiao Demon King, with tears in his eyes, grabbed Lion Camel King and turned to fly away into the distance.

"Second brother!" Lion Camel King was shocked: "What are you doing? Drop me, how can we leave big brother here alone!"

"Foolish younger brother!"

Jiao Demon King shouted at Lion Camel King: "Big brother said he will hold back the Great Emperor Zhen Wu alone, our mana is depleted, staying would only drag big brother down."

His face was covered in tears: "Big brother is determined, he's ready to sacrifice himself!"

Lion Camel King trembled in his heart, realizing the painstaking intentions of the Bull Demon King.

"Big brother!"

He cried out in the sky: "You must come back alive!"

The two Demon Saints cried and shouted as they fled, disappearing in an instant.

The Bull Demon King watched this scene, his heart unbearably sorrowful: "Wise younger brothers, I didn't ask you to run."

Just now the monkey had also misunderstood him, could it be that there was a problem with his speech?

He said he would hold back the Great Emperor Zhen Wu, but there were still tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals here.

"Hmph."

A cold hum sounded from behind.

The Bull Demon King was covered in sweat.

He turned around to see the Great Emperor Zhen Wu already surrounding him with the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

"Gurgle..."

The Bull Demon King swallowed his saliva.

That damn Monkey King, it was all his fault.

He must have calculated this scene, deliberately calling him over to face his death.

The Bull Demon King swore in his heart, if he happened to survive this time, he would definitely find that monkey and tear him to shreds!
