Volume 3: The World of the Lotus Lantern Chapter 8: Being a Demon King for a Few Days
The four noobs were having a great time showing off their skills when a voice came from outside the cave. They were startled and thought that it was the Devil King who had returned. However, when they thought about it carefully, they realized that the Devil King had been dead for seven hundred years. Where could he return to?
"Which bastard dares to shout and scream in front of our cave? Are you looking for death? Someone come here."
The four demons were also furious at this time. They were just getting angry when this thing appeared. They had to use this guy to vent their anger today. However, how did this guy appear? How come he appeared without them hearing any noise? Where are all the people patrolling the mountain?
After all, the Four Monsters are the chief stewards of the Demon King. Before leaving the Hunhun Cave, they took away many of his subordinates. Now, they have more than a thousand monsters under their command.
At the command, more than a thousand monsters gathered in front of the cave, but looking at Jiale's dragon power, they dared not move.
Bloodline suppression is reflected vividly among the demon race.
Some monsters whose cultivation is stronger than their opponents will be controlled by their opponents' bloodlines, not to mention those whose cultivation is ridiculously poor. The four general managers finally came out.
“It’s you!”
He wanted to say something unpleasant, but after seeing the majestic dragon horns on Jiale's head, he chose to shut up.
In front of the devil, the four general managers played the roles of Fei Zhong and You Hun. Their martial arts skills were not very good, but they were very eloquent. Of course, they were good at observing people's expressions and their eyelids were well trained. They could tell who could be provoked and who could not be provoked at a glance. Now, after seeing Jia Le, their instinctive stress reaction was to take two steps back and hide behind the group of little demons.
At this time, the four demons had already put on a smiling face.
"I don't know where in the world you are a real dragon, and why you came to our remote place. If you have any instructions, just tell us and we will do it."
At this time, Jiale had already exerted his dragon power to the extreme. Not to mention, when Jiale put on the dragon sign, he felt that he was even more skillful than the Lijiang Dragon King.
Under the might of the dragon, Jiale's strength has definitely reached above the seventh level of the True Immortal. In the eyes of the four general managers, that is divine might that is inviolable. Naturally, they dare not say much. They will never take action if something can be solved with words.
Jiale couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the four monsters. It was rare to see such sensible monsters.
"I think your cave is quite nice. How about letting me stay here?"
call!
Hearing this, the four demons breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. It turned out that the demon had taken a fancy to their shabby cave. Just give it to them. With their strength, they could easily find another cave like this in this mountain. It was nothing at all. If they could use it to please a Dragon King, it would be a great thing.
"Okay, it's a blessing for this cave to be favored by the king. We will move out now."
"slow!"
The four demons froze instantly and turned their heads slowly, "My lord, do you have any other instructions?"
He glanced at the four demons.
"I haven't finished what I'm saying yet, why are you in such a hurry? In addition to this cave, I'm still short of a few odd jobs, so I'll give you the spots as a reward."
Good job!
The four demons exclaimed, "Wow!" This guy didn't just set his eyes on the cave, he set his eyes on them, he was going to take everything away from them. They wanted to refuse, but they didn't dare. Even though they kept complaining in the cave, they were free after escaping from the Demon King. Now they were very comfortable being the demon kings. If they were asked to be servants again, they might not be willing to do so.
"What? You don't want to! If you don't want to, just say it. I'm not the kind of king who would force a demon to do anything. I just need some snacks. I'm used to eating big fish and meat, but I don't know how duck, rabbit, rat, and dog meat taste."
The four monsters immediately started sweating when they heard this. When Jiale said this, he had already transformed into a dragon with his bloody mouth wide open, ready to choose the monster to eat. What's the point of forcing the monster to do something? It's obvious that there is only one choice: if they don't obey, they will be eaten. Who can resist this?
"Your Majesty, you are the king we have been waiting for. The four of us have been waiting here for seven hundred years, just waiting for a king destined by heaven. Now we finally get to see him. We are so lucky. Your Majesty, please accept our greetings."
Wow, this face-changing skill, I really like it.
At this time, Jiale finally understood why ancient emperors liked flatterers. Those who would kneel down and kowtow when given a hint are not as useful as those who stick their necks out, go against , and would rather die than yield if they disagree with you.
"Okay, then don't wait outside, let's all go into the cave, bring up any delicious food and drinks you have, today is my treat."
Use our stuff, please us!
The four demons suddenly had a feeling that they seemed to have welcomed a great king.
Not daring to delay, he quickly called on the little demon to bring up all the delicious food and drinks in the cave. Soon, the huge cave was filled to the brim.
Jiale was roasting venison over real fire and drinking fruit wine, which was quite relaxing.
If you don't practice Taoism, being a mountain king seems to be a good idea.
Looking at his first team, it seemed just barely acceptable. There were more than a thousand monsters. The Dog Steward and the Rat Steward were the third level of the True Fairyland, while the Duck Steward and the Rabbit Steward were the second level of the True Fairyland.
There are also eight demon lords, dozens of demon kings, and quite a few demon generals, which should be enough to boost the momentum.
"Little dog, your cave doesn't seem to be that good. Is there a better cave nearby? This cave is too simple and crude. I can't get used to living here."
He was shouting for it just now, but now he doesn't even want it. This new boss changes his mind so quickly.
After secretly complaining, the Dog Butler looked at the other three, his eyes darting around, as if he had an idea.
"Your Majesty, yes, of course there is. Your Majesty, you don't know that the best caves in our area are the seventy-two demon caves. Each one is countless times better than ours. The best of them is of course the Hun Hun Cave. Yes, that is the Hun Hun Cave. Only the Hun Hun Cave is worthy of you, Your Majesty."
Originally the four demons hated the scoundrel tiger and didn't know how to deal with it. Now, Jiale has come to their doorstep. If Jiale were to deal with the scoundrel tiger, that would be a great thing. If they win, they can vent their anger. If they lose, it doesn't matter as they can still gain their freedom. It would be best if both sides suffer losses. Then, they can deal with the scoundrel tiger and live in the cave themselves.
Jiale looked at the four guys. What kind of experiences must they have gone through to make them so wild?
However, this was exactly what he wanted; the four guys were quite sensible.
"In that case, what are you waiting for? Come on, guys, gather your troops and go attack the gangster cave. Puppy, Mouse, you two will be the vanguard and clear the way."
What! Just hit me if I say so.
The four monsters never expected that Jiale was such a quick-tempered person. He would start fighting as soon as he said so. Everything he did seemed a bit careless.
However, they can't wait any longer!
"What are you waiting for, boys? Get your weapons."
Mixed hole.
Each of the Seventy-two Demon Caves has a large spiritual vein, which is why the status of the Seventy-two Demon Caves is so high.
Hunhun Cave, although the name is ridiculous, it also has its origin. The Demon King Hunhun is said to come from the Hunhun clan. Of course, this clan did not exist before the Demon King Hunhun was born. It was a clan created by the Demon King Hunhun himself. He was ambitious and wanted to develop the Hunhun clan into a clan that surpasses the demon clan.
The first step was to take over the Seventy-two Demon Caves, which the Demon King of Chaos also did. Then the second step was the Flower-Fruit Mountain, but this step was only half completed as he was blocked in the cave by Sun Wukong and then beaten to death with a stick. From then on, the Hun clan became a joke, but the Shameless Tiger did not change the name of the Hun Cave.
The reason why the Lazy Tiger was called this nickname is because this guy has a very lazy character and often goes back on his words. He does not have the dignity of a tiger demon at all, so he was given this nickname. However, under the command of the Demon King, they are birds of a feather. Just like the four general managers in front of Jiale, the Lazy Tiger, and even the Demon King, they are all birds of a feather. There is a reason why they can get along well.
After occupying the Hunhun Cave, Laipihu seized most of the resources of the Demon King. Relying on these resources, he has now reached the peak level of True Immortal.
Among the monster clan, the strong are respected. Lai Pihu has gathered tens of thousands of monsters under his command. Although he does not command the seventy-two monster caves like the Demon King, he is also the strongest one.
At this time, Lai Pihu was in the cave, enjoying the one-stop service of the newly descended Red Fox.
"Report! It's bad, my king. The four general stewards are coming to attack us."
The lazy tiger was startled by this warning, but when he heard that it was the four general managers who came, he suddenly became angry again and looked at the little demon on the ground fiercely.
"Drag him out and chop him up."
"My lord, spare me, spare me, this time is different."
Lai Pihu didn't care. What was the difference between the four general managers? Because of their past friendship, he had spared the four general managers so many times. But now, they have become even more aggressive and even dared to come.
Looking at the beauty beside him, his state seemed to have changed because of this news, and became dull.
He couldn't help but get even angrier, "My fellow idiots, follow me to kill the monster."
This time, Lai Pihu really wanted to kill, so he gathered tens of thousands of little demons and came to the gate of the cave.
Looking at the Dog Manager and the Rat Manager opposite him, his face was gloomy.
"Okay, it's you again. I let you go in the past, but you are so ungrateful that you come to disturb me at such a critical moment. Today, I will make sure you never return."
After saying this, Laipihu rushed towards the Dog Manager and the Rat Manager.
Seeing the aggressive look of Lai Pihu, the Dog Manager and the Rats Manager were also shocked. What good thing had they done to Lai Pihu today that made him so angry?
However, facing the peak of True Immortal and the unrestrained murderous intent, the Dog Butler and the Rats Butler really could not bear it.
"My lord, help me, the scoundrel has gone mad."
boom!
The lazy tiger only felt that he had hit something huge, and with a loud bang, he flew back.
Looking closely, I only had time to see a long tail being retracted, and a person with horns on his head slowly appeared.
King! Have these four stewards recognized a new king? He was alert in his heart, but he waved his hand behind him, and tens of thousands of little demons had already killed them.
The dragon wags its tail.
Jiale added secretly in his heart, I have to say, the power of this dragon body is really not comparable to that of a human body. When combined with Jiale's Sun God Body, it is possible for the mortal body alone to fight against those at the peak of the True Immortal Realm.
The so-called peak of the True Immortal Realm is the level of the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth levels of the True Immortal Realm. The scoundrel in front of him is at the tenth level of the True Immortal Realm.
Faced with the howling little demon, Jiale ignored it and just left it to the Dog Butler and the others.
There is only one True Immortal under Laipihu, whose level is similar to that of Dog Manager and his men. With four against one, they are able to handle it even if there are more little monsters.
"Where did you come from, monster? I have never seen you before."
Lai Pihu had already seen through Jia Le's dragon body by now, but precisely because he recognized it, he became cautious. It was said that the dragon clan had declined, but a lean camel was still bigger than a horse. Even if they had declined, they were still not comparable to the seventy-two demon kings. If Jia Le came from the East China Sea, it would be even more troublesome.
Jiale also looked at Lai Pihu with great interest. After a counterattack just now, he also learned some tricks from Lai Pihu.
"I have never seen such Buddha power in other monsters. Why don't you tell me about it?"
What!
Lai Pihu's expression changed when he heard that. How could it be discovered? Wasn't it said to be very hidden?
Jiale also didn't expect that this scoundrel tiger was actually a hidden pawn of Buddhism. When was it deployed? Could it be that it was deployed before Sun Wukong was born? My goodness, if he hadn't attacked in anger just now and brought out some Buddha power, he really wouldn't have been able to see that Buddhism really wouldn't let go of any opportunity to fight for territory.
"die!"
After Jiale revealed his true identity, Lai Pihu no longer cared to ask Jiale about his background. He only had one thought at this moment, which was to kill Jiale to silence him.
Dongsheng Shenzhou is the territory of Xuanmen. Lai Pihu is a smart man. If people knew that he had joined Buddhism, he would be killed.
boom!
Facing the tiger's claw, Jiale defended himself slowly.
Jia Le's original cultivation level was at the fifth level of the True Immortal Realm, and with his body of a dragon, he was able to display the strength of the eighth level of the True Immortal Realm without any magic treasure, which was enough to fight against the lazy tiger.
The roar echoed throughout the entire forest, and gradually all the 72 demon caves knew that today the four general managers had recognized a new demon king, who was causing trouble for the lazy tiger, and they were having a great time fighting him.
boom!
The horns moved, thunder exploded, and bombarded the lazy tiger.
The advantage of Lai Pi Hu lies in its speed. Clouds follow dragons and wind follows tigers. Lai Pi Hu can be said to have made great use of the law of wind.
Unfortunately, when Jiale activated the Qimen Bagua, it was as if Laipihu had activated it at eight times slower speed, leaving him nowhere to hide.
The mastery of the five thunders made Jiale's thunder technique even more powerful. The power of one thunder was more than the tenth level of the true fairyland.
Originally, Lai Pihu, who had been relying on his strength to gradually suppress Jia Le, was somewhat delighted, but he was immediately dumbfounded when he saw this thunder technique. It is said that the dragon clan is good at controlling thunder, wind, and water, and it is understandable that the dragon has this bloodline ability, but are you serious about this thunder? It is clearly carrying the power of disaster, and it is not an ordinary thunder at all. Even a real dragon does not have this ability.
call!
Following the thunder, another real fire was emitted. It is very scientific that the dragon clan can control fire. However, after Lai Pihu received this real fire, he was completely dumbfounded. Your dragon can control the real fire of the sun.
The true fire will never go out. The more you activate your demonic power, the stronger the true fire will be.
Seeing the power of the Sun's True Fire, Jiale couldn't help but nodded. After the Sun God Body was perfected, Jiale's Sun's True Fire also perfected. The power was so strong that Jiale could fight in a higher realm. Now he was just jumping through a few small realms. Although Lai Pihu had acquired some Buddhist skills, it only made his demon body stronger.
The true fire of the sun burns the body and soul, and even Buddhism cannot resist it.
"Help! Spare my life!"
Jiale was not stingy with the sun's true fire, and beams of true fire hit Laipihu. The Qimen Bagua combined with the law of space completely blocked the space around Laipihu, leaving him nowhere to hide. Although he clearly wanted to avoid Jiale's attack, it seemed as if he was actively facing it.
It has to be said that Lai Pihu's foundation is still a little shallow after all. Although he has been greatly improved with the resources left by the Demon King and the support of Buddhism, his means are indeed a little lacking. The only thing worth seeing is his ability to control the wind. His speed and physical strength and defense are good, but wind magic is useless to Jia Le.
The return of wind and fire made Lai Pihu's wind magic become his own grave.
No matter how strong the body is, it cannot defend against the true fire of the sun and the control of the five thunders. The speed that he was proud of was also restricted by Jiale's space. In the end, he could not even display 80% of his strength of the tenth level of the True Immortal Realm. Instead, he was suppressed by Jiale and dragged into the abyss step by step. It can only be said that some people are born to be stepping stones for the protagonist.
The battlefield was also silent, and the monsters under Lai Pihu didn't dare to fight anymore.
Seeing the tiger rolling on the ground, crying and screaming, and about to be burned to ashes, the monsters were completely terrified. Is this something they can fight? This is simply a devil. Death is acceptable, but such a painful death is a bit unacceptable.
Gurgle!
Lai Pihu finally disappeared in the burning of the sun's true fire, and not even his ashes were left. The four general managers and the true immortal under Lai Pihu couldn't help swallowing their saliva when they saw this scene. This was even more cruel than the Demon King. The Demon King was good at using a hammer and had a notorious reputation for crushing skulls, which frightened all the monsters and ghosts around him. However, the monsters and ghosts killed by the Demon King looked miserable.
But at least it's a relief, and there's a body to bury. If you feel good, the ghost soul can be reincarnated.
Now, everyone died a quick death, even the evil spirit couldn’t escape, it was burned to ashes in a fire. What kind of fire was this?
"Me! Me!"
Jiale looked at the True Immortal Cat Demon under the Lazy Tiger. With one look, the tiger demon immediately collapsed. He wanted to say something to beg for mercy, but he was so scared that he couldn't move. Jiale didn't wait for him to finish his words. He directly struck him with a thunderbolt and killed him completely. He came to harvest the energy beads, not to be the real demon king. What did he want so many captives for?
Especially for demon kings at the true immortal level, it is best to transform them into energy beads.
Just for show and to show off, it would be good to have four general managers.
"The king is mighty!"
"The king is mighty!"
…
Meeting Jia Le's gaze, the four general stewards were startled and at this moment they used all the flattery they had learned. "Niu" was too rude, "The King" was more powerful. The most important thing was that the tens of thousands of monsters under the command of the Laipihu were louder than the four general stewards.
These monsters are actually not stupid. Although Jiale and Laipihu are fighting fiercely, these little monsters are just pretending. If Jiale wins, they will have to surrender. If Jiale loses, they will really work hard to kill the four general managers on the opposite side. If it is a draw, then everyone will be happy and go back to their caves.
Little demons are no different from ordinary people. Little people have their own way of living. They just want to find a backer to live on. If they are not given a raise, then why are they risking their lives?
They are just a bunch of little demons who are not yet true immortals. When added together, they are not even as powerful as a true immortal. It's okay to keep them. You can use them to boost morale in peacetime wars, and it will be more appropriate to fatten them up and then kill them.
"Young men, return home."
Jiale called the little demons back to the cave. When the little demons saw that their lives were saved, they were even more excited.
The spies sent by other demon caves had no time to care about anything else at this time and hurried back to their boss to report the situation.
Flower-Fruit Mountain.
In fact, the Flower-Fruit Mountain is not far from these demon caves. Ever since Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, he has begun to focus on the training of his monkey cubs.
At this time, the Flower-Fruit Mountain is more powerful than the combined strength of the Seventy-Two Demon Caves.
Not to mention the Golden Immortal level Sun Wukong.
Under Sun Wukong, there are two marshals Ma and Liu, and two generals Beng and Ba, all of whom have the cultivation level of Xuanxian. In addition, there is an army of 100,000 demon monkeys, and hundreds of thousands of ordinary demon monkeys. The entire Flower-Fruit Mountain, except for some animals that Sun Wukong likes, is basically the territory of monkeys.
Of course, this is also the result of Sun Wukong's painstaking efforts.
The weapons of the 100,000 demon monkey army were borrowed from the East China Sea, and they were all top-quality weapons. The skills were learned by the monkeys from the Sanxing Cave, and they were all top-level skills, as well as battle formations. When they made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, they also brought back a lot of peaches, elixirs, and royal wine. The monkeys ate the meat, and these monkeys and their descendants also drank the soup, and their cultivation increased in this way.
Otherwise, even the two marshals Ma and Liu, and the two generals Beng and Ba could only be true immortals at best.
Of course, the most important thing is that the monkey's luck is at its peak, and the demon monkey clan is also protected. The friends who follow the protagonist, as long as they are not dead, will basically be dazzling existences in the end. What's more, they also occupy the Water Curtain Cave in Huaguo Mountain, which is no less than one of the 72 blessed places, and its spiritual energy can be said to be top-notch in the world.
Ever since the incident with the Demon King of Chaos, Huaguo Mountain has paid a lot of attention to the Seventy-two Demon Caves.
Jiale killed Laipihu. It was such a big commotion, how could Huaguoshan not know about it?
The official marshal in charge of this area was also a little surprised when he heard the report from his subordinates.
"What! The owner of that hoodlum cave has changed again, and it's a dragon! The scoundrel tiger was burned to death with just one fire? So cruel!"
Marshal Liu also showed some interest in Jiale. However, before the monkey became a Buddha, the monkeys of Huaguo Mountain had never left Huaguo Mountain. After the monkey became a Buddha, he even restricted his monkeys from leaving Huaguo Mountain. Therefore, even though it was much stronger than the Seventy-two Demon Caves, Huaguo Mountain did not take over the Seventy-two Demon Caves, let alone care about the disputes within the Seventy-two Demon Caves.
Marshal Liu also knew what his king was thinking.
Within the Flower-Fruit Mountain, Sun Wukong was the Great Sage Equaling Heaven in Heaven and the Fighting and Victorious Buddha in Buddhism. But after leaving the Flower-Fruit Mountain, given the current strength and influence of the Flower-Fruit Mountain, he might have to add a Demon King to these two titles.
Dragon!
After hearing that the new demon king was a Jiaolong, Marshal Liu was actually more relieved. Jiaolong is a member of the dragon clan, and Sun Wukong is on good terms with the dragon clan. The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas are all brothers, and he also has a junior brother who is the Dragon Prince of the West Sea. They are basically a family. Since they are a family, they should know the limits and there is no need to worry too much.
But even Jiale didn't know that when he used the True Sun Fire, the Monkey King in the Water Curtain Cave opened his eyes.
"Hmm! The breath of the sun's true fire, interesting and interesting."
