The Sand Monk faced off against the Three Demons, both sides employing their own tactics, clashing until the sky darkened and the earth shook.
On one side, the Heat King was equally matched with Zhu Bajie, while on the other, the Dust King and the Sand Monk had difficulty determining a clear victor.
However, the Cold King who went up against Sun Wukong had certainly drawn the short straw. Previously, the Three Demons had no trouble dealing with Sun Wukong alone, but now only the Cold King remained. Even if Wukong intentionally refrained from using "the power," he was no match for Wukong.
After merely dozens of exchanges, the Cold King had already fallen into disadvantage, frequently facing danger.
If it weren’t for his extensive combat experience, he would have probably been beaten to death by Sun Wukong’s staff already.
However, even though he wasn’t beaten to death, he was sweating buckets in fear. Knowing he wasn’t Wukong’s opponent, the monster quickly shouted, "Minions, attack together, take down these three monks!"
Upon hearing the Cold King’s command, the hundreds of little demons behind him immediately cried out and charged forward in disarray, each brandishing their weapons.
Just then, Nine Spirits Holy Yuan suddenly appeared above the battlefield.
Originally, if these little demons had fought earnestly against Sun Wukong and his two companions, he might have just stood by and watched.
But now, seeing the demons ganging up, Nine Spirits Holy Yuan would naturally not stand by idly.
All it took was a wave of Nine Spirits Holy Yuan’s sleeves accompanied by the sound of whistling winds, and a series of screams followed as the hundreds of little demons were abruptly blown away.
The Three Demons, who had hoped to take advantage of their numbers to defeat Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and the Sand Monk, did not expect an old man to appear out of nowhere and effortlessly blow away the hundreds of little demons. Seeing this, the faces of the Three Demons turned pale with fright.
Seeing all the little demons had fled, Sun Wukong couldn’t help but crack a smile.
His staff spun even faster, slamming one blow after another towards the Cold King, who scurried all around with no ability to fight back.
Zhu Bajie was also invigorated, his rake whooshing through the air with increased might.
The Heat King, under Zhu Bajie’s fierce assault, gradually grew chaotic and was left with only the ability to block.
On the other side, the Sand Monk, continuously shouting to cheer himself on, cut an imposing figure with his tall stature and booming voice, sending the Dust King into a panic, unable to cope and falling behind.
Nine Spirits Holy Yuan stood midair, surveying the situation on the battlefield, and nodded to himself.
Following this trend, there was no need for him to take action; his job would merely be to prevent the Three Demons from escaping.
As Sun Wukong chased and attacked the Cold King, he called out loudly, "Old Lion, make a move already, and save us the trouble of dealing with these three demons!"
Nine Spirits Holy Yuan explained with a smile, "As the Nine Spirits Holy Yuan, how can I bully the few with the many? You dealing with these three demons is just a matter of time."
No sooner had Nine Spirits Holy Yuan finished speaking than the Cold King suddenly shouted, "Brothers, this is it! Show our trump cards now or none of us will leave here alive."
Sun Wukong was about to say more, but upon hearing the Cold King’s words, he was taken aback.
Frowning slightly, Sun Wukong thought, perhaps these three had some unique skills they hadn’t yet revealed. I’m eager to see what they can do.
A roar sounded, and the Cold King dropped to all fours and reverted to his true form, transforming into a huge rhinoceros, tens of meters in length and several meters tall.
Having never seen a rhinoceros so large, Sun Wukong observed the beast whose tough skin and appearance weren’t much different from common rhinoceroses, except in size.
However, the horns on this rhinoceros’s head were quite different, shimmering with a chilly radiance, and white halos continuously emitted from them.
"What a huge White Rhinoceros!"
Sun Wukong couldn’t help but exclaim with a laugh when he saw the Cold King had taken the lead in revealing his true form.
While Sun Wukong was still surprised, a beam of white light shot out from the Cold King’s horns. Wukong, caught off guard, was struck by the white light, instantly feeling a chill that left his whole body numb and unable to move.
A sound of "crack, crack" followed.
Sun Wukong’s entire body was quickly covered with a thick layer of ice, sealing him entirely in an icy prison.
At the same time, the Heat King also revealed his true form as a red rhinoceros throughout, similar in size to the Cold King. Zhu Bajie quickly leaped to one side, watching the enormous rhinoceros with a face full of terror.
Suddenly, a red glow lit up on the Heat King’s horn, and tongues of fire immediately sprayed towards Bajie, who screamed in horror and turned to flee.
However, the fire was swift and quickly caught up with Bajie, enveloping him in flames. Bajie couldn’t help but let out a scream of fear as the intense fire seemed to almost roast him alive.
"Ah! I’m being burned to death, oh mother! I’m about to turn into a roast pig!"
Zhu Bajie yelled loudly, making every effort to extinguish the flames on his body, but the fire was no ordinary flame and only grew fiercer.
On another front, Dust King too had reverted to his true form—a giant black rhinoceros. As Dust King’s horn glowed, a black gale formed and quickly swept towards Sand Monk.
Unable to hold back his anger, the Sand Monk cursed and turned to run.
