One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 840 War begins

Since the chosen one is to be tested, words and intimidation alone are not enough.

Ultimately, we still need to test the mettle of the chosen one. As Hu Xiuwu once said, "Don't look at what he says, look at what he does."

Prince Zhang discovered that Pigsy hadn't actually figured out the truth behind the play, so he continued acting.

"Ahem," the young prince, dressed as Manjushri Bodhisattva, coughed twice, his smile fading as he raised his Vajra sword.

"Pigsy, you've colluded with criminals of the Three Realms! Quickly return with me to Mount Ling and beg the Buddha for forgiveness."

Sweat beaded on Pigsy's forehead, and he cursed inwardly that Manjushri and Samantabhadra hadn't fallen for his trick. At the same time, he was also cursing Hu Xiuwu for not showing up.

When the Man of Destiny saw that Hu Xiuwu had not appeared, he assumed that Hu Xiuwu had left. However, Zhu Bajie was not so naive. He had served the True Martial Emperor and followed the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong. He knew all too well what a Taiyi Golden Immortal of Hu Xiuwu's level could achieve.

Pigsy didn't believe that Hu Xiuwu hadn't discovered Manjushri and Samantabhadra, yet he hadn't shown himself.

He clearly had other plans!

'Just like that old monkey, full of secrets and plans, but never uttering a single word.'

While cursing Hu Xiuwu, Pigsy didn't forget to bring up the mysterious old monkey from Flower Fruit Mountain.

But in any case, since Hu Xiuwu was unwilling to show himself, Zhu Bajie had no other choice.

We can only resort to the best strategy from the art of war.

Pigsy gripped the Nine-Toothed Rake with both hands, sliding his right hand forward and pulling his left hand back, holding the rake horizontally at his waist. The nine teeth continuously spewed out pitch-black, icy, Arctic Heavenly Canopy Demon-Subduing Qi.

Upon seeing this, 'Samantabhadra's' eyes gleamed, and the white elephant beneath his feet snorted loudly, sparks flying from its teeth and the corners of its mouth.

Nezha, a warmonger, rejoices at the mere mention of war.

"I've long heard that the demon-subduing aura of the Arctic lineage is icy and sharp, as powerful as thunder and as fierce as a guillotine! Today I'll finally get to witness it for myself!"

After settling his mother and sister in, Nezha had no more worries and began to reveal some of his true nature.

He was a notorious troublemaker from Qiantang Pass!
After holding back for so many days, Nezha was itching for a fight.

Then, a ten-zhang-high aura of the Northern Heavenly Canopy, capable of subduing demons, erupted from Pigsy's body. Under Nezha's gleaming eyes, Pigsy roared:
"run!"

Before Nezha could even change his expression, Pigsy's demon-subduing aura transformed into a ten-zhang-tall black boar, which turned its head and snatched up the unsuspecting chosen one.

With its four hooves treading on the air, it created layers of black flames, ignoring the mountain ranges and stone forests, crossing the deep molten river and charging straight forward.

It disappeared in no time, leaving only a straight and wide pig rootway.

Looking at the pig-root tunnel left by Pigsy, Nezha's jade ruyi creaked, his eyes glowed red, and his six-tusked white elephant gradually became ferocious, tinged with red.

It almost revealed its true form as the Wind and Fire Wheels.

It was still the young prince, dressed as Manjushri Bodhisattva, who coughed and smiled:
"Don't be angry, Puxian. You've known Bajie for a while now. He always likes to play these tricks."

"It's alright, he can't escape."

Prince Zhang didn't even bother to chase after them. Since Hu Xiuwu wanted to test the chosen one, how could he allow Pigsy to leave with the protagonist?

Sure enough, Pigsy was clearly running out of the Flaming Mountain, all the way out of Cool Slope and Fire Pass.

As soon as they rushed out of the woods, they looked up again and saw a 'white mountain' once more.

That's the Bull Demon King!
Pigsy fled with all his might, covering almost a thousand miles in an instant, but ended up running back.

It was all for nothing.

Pigsy stared blankly as the chosen one fell from his snout. The chosen one reacted swiftly, performing a somersault in mid-air and landing steadily on the ground.

Having observed everything, the Bull Demon King calmly said, "Bajie, haven't you noticed that my fiery land has long been isolated from the Three Realms?"

"It must be the so-called 'Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of Your Hand' in Lingshan. We have long been prey in their trap."

Hu Xiuwu, who was blending into the natural environment, glanced at the Bull Demon King.

'This old ox is quite cunning; he's adept at finding opportunities and fooling the monkey and the pig.'

What "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm"? It's clearly Hu Xiuwu using local materials to repair the black bowl of the Flaming Mountain land, trapping Pigsy and the chosen one in the Yin-Yang Cave.

The only difference is that the scenery inside the cave was replaced by the Flaming Mountain by Hu Xiuwu.

In modern terms, it means that Hu Xiuwu changed the art style of the copy, but the internal programming code remained the same.

Including the fact that Prince Zhang and Nezha were able to transform flawlessly, it was all because Hu Xiuwu gave them a hand.

Only Hu Xiuwu, who had fought with the Buddha and whose sword was stained with the Buddha's blood, could fake the Buddha's light and aura at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, which even Zhu Bajie couldn't see through.

The Bull Demon King knew what Hu Xiuwu wanted to do, but he just wanted to make it more realistic.

He did not take the elixir that Hu Xiuwu had given him.

So his injuries were real, and his weakness wasn't something he was faking.

The entire Firelight Ground and Meteorite Pit, except for Pigsy and the Chosen One, is full of actors; it's all a lie.

Only Pigsy and the chosen one were kept in the dark.

Oh, and there's also Red Boy lying on the ground, and the Flaming Mountain Land God who has been completely devoured, who also doesn't know the truth.

Zhu Bajie and the chosen one are too close. If Zhu Bajie is also involved, the chosen one might realize something is wrong.

No matter how hard you try, Pigsy can't capture the horror of today.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, the young and fearless man was not as out of control as Pigsy. Since there was no way to escape, he might as well go all out!
"Hey!" The chosen one leaped into the sky, transforming into a hawk amidst the dust and swirling winds.

The eagle spread its wings and soared into the sky, its sharp talons reaching out to seize the "Body Worry" pendant on the chest of the Bull Demon King.

After seizing the "Body Worry," the eagle's form instantly changed, and the Man of Destiny returned to his original form, still holding the "Body Worry" in his hand.

Without the slightest hesitation, the man of destiny stuffed the "body is inherently troubled" into his mouth.

With a major battle imminent, it is only natural to use all means to enhance one's own strength.

The young prince, transformed into the Bodhisattva Manjushri, smiled slightly, showing no anger whatsoever, and spoke in a gentle tone:
"What is the Mandate of Heaven doing? As long as you return to Mount Ling and reclaim the title of 'Victorious Fighter,' Sun Wukong's six senses will naturally be yours."

"Why lose your composure like this?"

The man of destiny did not respond; instead, the ends of the chime mallet began to turn reddish-brown, gradually emitting a crimson light.

Puxian picked up the jade ruyi, holding it as if it were a short stick: "Stubborn and unruly, lacking discipline!"

"The monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain have always been this mischievous."

Nezha and Sun Wukong had a good relationship when they were in Heaven, and he knew very well how to provoke the monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain.

Sure enough, Nezha had just finished speaking.

The chime mallet had already appeared in front of 'Samantabhadra'.
