The Great - Winged Golden Roc returned. Just as it reached the Lion - Camel Ridge, upon learning that its two elder brothers had been taken away by two Bodhisattvas, it instantly flew into a rage!
When it heard from the little demons below that the chief culprit was still living peacefully in their Lion - Camel Ridge, it was like a lit powder keg. With a single palm, it split open the main gate of the Lion - Camel Ridge.
With a “boom”, the whole Lion - Camel Ridge trembled.
Yang Xue and Sun Wukong, who were sleeping in each other's arms, were suddenly awakened from their beds. They had slept fully dressed. Seeing each other suddenly wake up from their dreams, they couldn't help but smile at each other.
Sun Wukong quickly turned around to relieve his physical discomfort. “I... I'll go outside and take a look.”
Yang Xue watched the Great Sage fleeing in a hurry and shouted, “Great Sage, wait for me!”
“...” To avoid being caught up by Yang Xue and having her see his embarrassing situation, Sun Wukong quickly disappeared from her sight.
Yang Xue scoffed, “It seems we're still not familiar enough. The Great Sage is still so shy around me.”
Suddenly, she faintly felt her heart skip a beat, like an elastic ball hitting the ground hard, pounding against her chest.
She quickly chased after him. Thinking of the disgusting Great - Winged Golden Roc, she suddenly had a bad premonition.
When they reached the most magnificent main hall on the mountain, the Great - Winged Golden Roc was sitting high on the throne. Its blood - drinking eyes swept across everyone present, and its sinister eyes carried a cruel smile.
Shifting its gaze to the center of the main hall, Yang Xue couldn't help but hold her breath and subconsciously closed her eyes.
How brutal!
She had thought that after the fates of the previous two demon kings, this Golden Roc monster would be more cautious. Even if it didn't flee, it would at least show some restraint.
She never expected that it would even intensify its provocation against them!
On the spacious and clean floor of the main hall, there were neatly arranged five rows of corpses. There were no less than a hundred mortals, including men, women, the old, the young, and even children...
Yang Xue suddenly let out an angry roar. She raised her hand and whipped out her long whip, aiming straight at the Golden Roc monster on the throne.
She couldn't bear to witness the passing of life. Even more so, she couldn't stand seeing hundreds of corpses lying in front of her own eyes. The anger in her chest erupted like a volcano, out of control.
“Snap!” The Great - Winged Golden Roc was caught off guard. A hideous wound suddenly appeared on its sinister face.
“Ow~~” It never expected that this woman who looked as delicate as a vase could strike so quickly. One whip had destroyed hundreds of years of its cultivation.
“Such a venomous woman! How dare you attack this king's face! I will surely make your soul scatter to the winds!” With that, it summoned its weapon and charged straight at Yang Xue.
“Be careful!” Sun Wukong suddenly rushed down from above the Roc monster's head. With a single strike of his staff, he knocked it onto the floor, half of its body sinking into the stone slab.
“Roar...” Having suffered two consecutive defeats, the Golden Roc monster was furious. It summoned all its strength and charged at Sun Wukong.
In an instant, they were wrestling with each other, charging and crashing everywhere, leaving a mess in their wake.
The magnificent main hall began to crumble. The gilded stone pillars started to collapse.
“Xue'er, leave this dog to me. You deal with them first.” Sun Wukong knew that Yang Xue must be very uncomfortable at this moment.
In her world, such inhumane scenes would never occur.
Yang Xue looked solemn. Her grief - stricken gaze met Tang Sanzang's. He clasped his hands together, and a look of compassion flashed across his eyes, intense yet broken.
Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng followed Tang Sanzang, looking at a loss at the scene in the main hall.
Yang Xue walked heavily towards the rows of corpses. The stones and gravel caused by the fierce battle were rustling down behind her. She raised her hand to arrange the appearances of these innocent common people and, together with Tang Sanzang, helped the souls to move on.
After Yang Jian and Zhao Gongming arrived, they were shocked by the scene in front of them. Then, they angrily drew their weapons and joined the battle!
Such evil demons should be eliminated by all!
The Roc monster was quite powerful, but facing off against battle gods like Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, it soon found itself at a disadvantage and couldn't withstand their attacks.
Yang Xue waved her hand. The corpses on the ground had no bloodstains, and their clothes were not torn. They were lying quietly on the ground.
However, their souls were not at peace.
With her eyes closed, she could clearly see the grayish after - images fluttering towards the Great - Winged Golden Roc like moths flying into a fire, intending to avenge themselves.
But how could they be a match for the Great - Winged Golden Roc? This dog - bird even had a golden - body protection.
Just as those souls were about to be torn apart by the golden body, Yang Xue suddenly made a move and protected them within an enchantment.
Her voice, like the shattering of Kunshan jade, clearly drifted into the ears of every soul.
“Leave everything to me. Fulfill your wishes and move on to the next life peacefully.”
She spun her left hand and opened the Heavenly Book. The wind picked up. Her jet - black hair and colorful clothes fluttered. A golden light suddenly enveloped her body. The warm, sun - like light gradually became more intense. Along with the long whip in her hand, it flew towards the Great - Winged Golden Roc.
“Break!” She exerted all her strength without reservation. The golden whip turned into thousands of arrow - rains and drilled into the Roc's body.
Her eyes were firm and determined. A cold smile flashed across her lips. She raised her hand to cast a spell, and the Roc uncontrollably floated towards her hand.
“No, it's impossible!” The Roc's eyes were filled with hatred and horror. It tried its best to control its body but still watched helplessly as it was controlled by Yang Xue.
“Who are you, wild woman? Let me go quickly! If you kill me, Tathagata will never let you go!” It finally panicked. Its crazy tone was a mix of laughter and crying. “I'm Tathagata's uncle. If you dare to hurt me, you will be thrown into the eighteenth level of hell, your soul will be scattered, and you will never be reincarnated.”
Yang Xue smiled faintly. “Yes, a person like you really deserves to be thrown into the eighteenth level of hell and never be reincarnated.”
Everyone else stopped and watched Yang Xue, bathed in divine light, like a god, holding the Great - Winged Golden Roc in her hand. The compassionate red corners of her eyes were tinged with firelight, a mark created by the collision of her anger and compassion.
She was like a demon and a Buddha, untouchable. Her illusory body gradually became transparent. She was actually about to break through!
“How dare you! If you dare to touch me, Tathagata will never forgive you.” The Roc's vision became hazy. Yang Xue's figure in front of it was as huge as a cloud. Looking directly into her eyes would make one feel as if their soul was being torn apart. It felt that the next moment, it would be torn into pieces.
“Heh!” Yang Xue let out a soft snort. She didn't know that at this moment, her figure was infinitely magnified, like an infinitely magnified shot on a curtain, unstoppable.
“Let him come. In any case, you will pay the price today.” After saying that, her eyes flashed. She curled her five fingers, and the Great - Winged Golden Roc had its neck snapped.
The next moment, the Roc's soul flew into the air, trying to escape from this place.
“Where do you think you're going!” She shouted. She flipped her hand, and the Great - Winged Golden Roc, like an iron sheet attracted by a magnet, uncontrollably floated into Yang Xue's palm.
She took out a bottle and put the Roc's soul into it.
Yang Jian was so frightened that his insides trembled. He shook his head with a sense of awe and murmured, “I'm impressed. She actually dared to touch Tathagata's own uncle. There may be no one else like her in the Three Realms.”
The God of Wealth looked at her with shining eyes and said excitedly, “She suppressed her own strength just because she didn't want to become a saint! She disdains this title and looks down on everything!”
Yang Jian rarely didn't refute. He just stared blankly at her.
“Xue'er,” Sun Wukong was quick - eyed and quick - handed. He quickly flashed behind her and caught Yang Xue as she fell backward. “Xue'er, are you okay?”
