Journey to the West: Starting with the Hunting of the Three Demons of Twin Fork Ridge

When she had combed half of it, she saw Baihua Xiu secretly reach out her finger and grab the back of the Yellow Robe Monster's head, about to pull out his hair.

But she was, after all, a mortal, while the yellow-robed monster was a star descended to earth, his hair as hard as iron. The princess tried her best, but couldn't budge it an inch.

Baihua was unwilling to give up and tried several more times, but still couldn't pull it off.

Suddenly, the man in the yellow robe frowned and said, "Wife, why are you being so rough with your hands today?"

Upon hearing this, Baihuaxiu panicked and quickly withdrew her hand, forcing herself to remain calm, and said, "This servant...this servant saw that my lord has been fighting hard these past few days and wanted to help him relax. I lost my temper and used too much force. I hope my lord will not be angry."

The yellow-robed monster, unsuspecting, nodded and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

Baihua Xiu combed her hair a few more times, but inwardly she was in despair: she was just a weak mortal, how could she possibly pull out the demon's iron hair? But if she couldn't pull out the hair, her plan would fail, and she would probably have no chance to escape.

The princess was quite clever; in a flash, she remembered that Li Fa and the other man were still hiding in the cave. She said, "My lord, please sit down. I'll go and get some balm to moisturize your scalp so it will be smoother to comb."

The yellow-robed monster waved his hand, signaling her to hurry up.

Baihua felt as if she had been granted a pardon. She quickly got up, hurriedly left the room, and after several twists and turns, rushed to the place where Li Fa and the other person were hiding.

Seeing her flustered expression, Li Fa quickly stepped forward and asked, "Princess, why are you in such a hurry? Has something gone wrong?"

Baihua said shyly, "Immortal Master! Something terrible has happened! I can't pull out his hair! Every single hair of that fellow's is like iron; I've used all my strength, but I can't pull out a single one! What should I do?"

Upon hearing this, Li Fa's heart sank.

After a moment's thought, Li Fa suddenly had an idea and said, "Princess, why don't you wait here for a while? I'll transform into your likeness and comb his hair."

Baihua asked shyly, "This...will this work?"

Li Fa said, "Princess, rest assured. I possess supernatural powers; plucking a few of his hairs is as easy as turning my hand."

Having said that, she transformed herself into the exact same appearance as Baihuaxiu.

Baihua Xiu stared in disbelief, speechless for a long time.

Li Fa straightened her clothes and walked away.

Baili Bo whispered from behind, "Big brother, be careful!"

Li Fa nodded and pushed open the door to enter.

The yellow-robed monster was resting with his eyes closed. Hearing footsteps, he didn't open his eyes, but simply said, "Why did it take so long?"

Li Fa imitated Baihuaxiu's voice and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It took me some effort to find the perfume."

He walked behind the yellow-robed monster, picked up a comb, and gently combed his hair.

While combing her hair, she made hand gestures and chanted incantations.

He used an incredible supernatural power, his strength surging, preparing to succeed in pulling out the hair in one fell swoop.

He secretly drew his Hunyuan Spear, just in case.

With everything prepared, he slowly reached his hand toward the back of the yellow-robed monster's head, spotted the thickest hair, and yanked it out!

There was a "whoosh" sound—

Li Fa was completely stunned on the spot.

A large chunk of the yellow-robed monster's head was ripped off by his attack!

It's not scalp, it's a wig!

He ripped off a round wig, revealing a shiny bald head underneath!

Li Fa was dumbfounded.

He never expected that the Yellow Robe Monster was a bald wolf!

But how did Kui Mulang become bald? There's actually a reason for it.

It turns out that Kui Mulang studied the Taoist internal alchemy, while Baili Bo was from Jinping Prefecture in the west and had been practicing the Western Golden Body Technique since childhood.

When practicing this Golden Body Technique, one will lose the hair on the top of their head and grow new spiral hair.

Although Kui Mulang seized Baili Bo's relic, he experienced some rejection when merging with the inner core, resulting in his hair falling out.

At this time, his hair was in the stage between growing out and not yet fully grown. He was also a bit concerned about his appearance, so he got a wig and wore it as if it were his real hair, and continued to comb his hair every day.

However, at this moment, the Yellow Robe Monster was also dumbfounded.

He turned around abruptly, glaring at Li Fa with eyes wide with fury.

Li Fa was still holding the wig in his hand, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

The yellow-robed monster gritted his teeth and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Who—are you?!"

Li Fa chuckled and said, "Would you believe me if I said I came here to sell wigs?"

The yellow-robed monster flew into a rage, grabbed the steel knife beside him, and slashed at the head!

Li Fa dared not accept it. He grabbed the wig and threw it at the yellow-robed monster's face, then leaped back.

At the same time, he revealed his true form, drew the Hunyuan Spear, and thrust it forward.

The two fought fiercely.

One spear is like a dragon emerging from the sea, the other knife is like a tiger descending the mountain.

Guns and knives clashed and clanged; knives met guns with a barrage of fire, sparks flying.

One is indestructible, the other is a star descended to earth.

Thirty rounds, still no clear winner!

The yellow-robed monster grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed: Where did this old Taoist come from? How could he be so powerful? He couldn't even defeat him!

Li Fa secretly groaned: This guy is indeed incredibly powerful. Although I have mastered the Five Thunders and have many magical treasures, if I were to use them in this cave, even if the mountains collapsed and the earth caved in, I still wouldn't be able to kill Kui Mulang.

On the contrary, it might harm the innocent Baihuaxiu's life, so she could only fight Kui Mulang head-on. The two fought fiercely, and it was difficult to determine who was better.

In the midst of the battle, Baili Bo rushed in from outside, brandishing his five-pronged fork, and shouted, "Brother! I've come to your aid!"

A great helper!

When Baili Bo met Kui Mulang, it was indeed like enemies meeting again, their eyes filled with hatred.

From the very first exchange, they fought with fierce intensity, making for a truly spectacular battle.

One fork twists like a monstrous python, another knife emerges like a venomous dragon from the sea. Forks and knives clash, their cold light flashing; knives go, forks meet, sparks fly.

One said, "You colluded with the Corpse Demon to steal the relic!" The other said, "I'm more skilled and earned the elixir!"

One said, "I've come today specifically for revenge!" The other said, "You're no hero to fight two against one!"

Upon hearing this, the Yellow-Robed Monster finally realized that this fellow was the unicorn whose relic he had stolen.

Now, they've somehow found an accomplice who's come knocking on our door, trying to steal our treasure!

The Yellow-Robed Monster knew he was in the wrong, but he was used to being vicious and refused to give in. He fought back fiercely.

They fought so fiercely that the stars were dimmed, the heavens and earth were darkened, the mountains shook, the earth trembled, and even ghosts and gods were terrified!

And so, the two joined forces and fought the Yellow Robe Monster for another seven or eight rounds.

The Yellow-Robed Monster was outnumbered and exhausted after fighting two opponents.

He sensed something was wrong, and suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a bright pearl the size of a bowl, its brilliance dazzling, heading straight for Li Fa!

Li Fa looked closely and saw that it was indeed the exquisite inner core of the relic!

He quickly dodged, but the bead seemed to have a mind of its own, turning in the air and chasing after him again.

At the same time, the Yellow-Robed Monster suddenly turned around, waved his sleeve, and a gust of wind swept up, enveloping Baihua Xiu who was hiding in the corner!

Li Fa was shocked and rushed to the rescue with his spear, but he was entangled by the inner core and could not break free.

After he defeated the inner core, he looked again and saw that the yellow-robed monster had already taken Baihua Xiu and hid in the inner cave. The stone door was tightly closed, and there was no further movement.

Baili Bo chased after him and smashed the stone gate with his fork, but it didn't budge.

Li Fa stepped forward to take a look and said, "Don't smash it. There are some tricks to this stone door; you can't break it open by force."

Baili retorted, "Brother, what should we do then?"

Li Fa stared at the tightly closed stone door, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Let's retreat first."

Left with no other choice, the two had to leave the cave and return to Wu Family Village.

Back at the manor, the two men remained depressed and said nothing more.
