#2029 - The bloody battle at Hutoushan

Although Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong, along with the others, were brave and exceptionally strong, the sheer number of the hundred thousand demons was overwhelming. Even killing several thousand wouldn't make a noticeable dent.

Adding to the difficulty, the Six Great Lion Kings also joined the battle, weapons in hand, bringing considerable pressure to bear on them.

Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng were relatively better off, having undergone improvements and significantly increased their strength.

Tang Sanzang, though trying his best, was hampered by his mortal body. Facing the attacks of the White-Ze Lion King, the pressure was already evident.

The Nao Lion and Snow Lion attacked Sun Wukong from both sides, but Sun Wukong's strength was more than enough to deal with these two.

The Golden-Hooped Rod danced up and down, forcing the Nao Lion and Snow Lion into retreat. If not for the surrounding demons sacrificing themselves to provide cover, the two would not have been able to withstand even a few rounds against Sun Wukong.

"You insignificant demons, watch as your Grandpa Sun gives you a big one!"

As Sun Wukong spoke, the Golden-Hooped Rod instantly grew several hundred meters long and as thick as a water vat.

Sun Wukong swung the enormous Golden-Hooped Rod with both hands, killing hordes of demons with each strike, filling the air with cries of agony.

Zhu Bajie was locked in combat with the Suanni and White-Ze Lion Kings. After a period of entanglement, Zhu Bajie gained the upper hand, suppressing the two Lion Kings.

However, the constant harassment from the surrounding demons had a considerable impact on Zhu Bajie.

"Behold the might of your Grandpa Pig!"

Zhu Bajie swayed, his figure instantly transforming to a hundred meters tall, and he swung the Nine-Toothed Rake downwards.

The dog-paddle-like moves, though not elegant, were extremely practical. Each rake strike crushed dozens of lesser demons.

The Suanni and White-Ze Lion Kings had to change their tactics, attacking Zhu Bajie from the front and back, forcing him to respond cautiously.

The Fu-Li Lion King faced Sha Seng. In a one-on-one fight, the Fu-Li Lion King was naturally no match for Sha Seng.

Although Sha Seng cursed loudly, the Fu-Li Lion King remained unperturbed and continued his sneak attacks.

While the Fu-Li Lion King could stall Sha Seng and protect himself in this way, the lesser demons suffered terribly.

Sha Seng vented his anger on the lesser demons, his Demon-Subduing Staff reaping their lives at every moment.

The Tuan-Xiang Lion King was entangled with Tang Sanzang. Tang Sanzang's strength was weaker, but the Tuan-Xiang Lion King was also the weakest of the Six Great Lion Kings.

In a one-on-one duel, Tang Sanzang could hold his own against the Tuan-Xiang Lion King, but with the harassment of the lesser demons, Tang Sanzang was at a disadvantage.

However, Tang Sanzang was not alone. He had a helper: his mount, the White Dragon Horse.

Tang Sanzang fought while riding the White Dragon Horse. Any lesser demons that approached were kicked away by the White Dragon Horse before Tang Sanzang could even act.

The number of lesser demons killed by the White Dragon Horse's hooves numbered at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, so Tang Sanzang was able to hold his ground completely.

"Demons, watch as this monk delivers you!"

Tang Sanzang seemed to grow braver and fiercer in the constant battle, his Nine-Ringed锡杖 also being extremely sharp, causing the lesser demons to feel fear.
