Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 276: Snake King and Toad King
When you don't know where the arrow in the dark will come from, hide where the arrow can't reach.

Jiushou Jinni is a smart and beautiful snake, so she naturally understands this well.

When the Bull Demon King turned into a wild goose and flew into the sky, the Nine-Headed Jin Ni felt something was wrong. She did not hesitate to retract her body, transformed into a long golden snake, and nimbly dived into the water.

In actual combat, simply saying who is strong and who is weak often does not have much significance.

Changing the underwater combat environment, obtaining a powerful magic weapon, or getting a combatant that can restrain you... these factors may instantly change the outcome of the battle and reverse the offensive and defensive momentum of both sides.

Just like Sun Wukong, although he has the ability to make trouble in Heaven, when he is in the water, his ability can only be used to the fullest.

When encountering a powerful water monster, most of the time Sun Wukong could only ask Zhu Bajie to lure it out while he would knock it out with a club on the shore.

The same is true for the Bull Demon King.

The Jiuying clan was born in the "Da Ze" deep in the mountains. They are proficient in both water and fire. They are like fish in water and their water combat skills are amazing.

The Bull Demon King was not a reckless man. He was well aware of the Nine-Headed Golden Ni's advantages in the water and did not intend to confront her head-on in the water.

"Since you, the Nine-Headed Golden Rainbow, are hiding in the water, I, Old Ox, will alert the enemy and force you to fight!"

The Bull Demon King thought so.

Then, the Bull Demon King revealed his demonic body, took off his nose ring, and turned into a white jade pillar supporting the sky.

The Bull Demon King shouted softly:
"big!"

As Bull Demon King shouted, the sky-supporting white jade pillar in his hand suddenly swelled, becoming larger and thicker.

Finally, the sky-supporting white jade pillar became more than two zhang thick and a hundred zhang long, like a divine pillar that stabilizes the sea.

The Bull Demon King blew up a gust of evil wind, and his body soared into the air and stood in the sky.

Holding a white jade pillar in his hand, he continued to smash towards the golden water on the Jiushou Mountains with the force of overwhelming the seas.

The Bull Demon King's towering white jade pillar was like an angry dragon playing with water, stirring the water with its masculine and majestic power.

This lake was formed by the water spit out by nine golden rainbows, and it cannot be compared to a natural lake.

Natural, not deep.

How could they withstand the power of the sky-supporting white jade pillar?

As the Bull Demon King's towering white jade pillar pounded violently, the entire golden lake seemed to be stirred by an invisible angry dragon, with water splashing and waves surging.

The entire water surface seemed to be torn apart by this huge force.

The sky-supporting white jade pillar in the Bull Demon King's hand swam in the water like a dragon playing in the water, flexibly and freely. Every time it was stirred, the water surged and rippled, forming a spectacular scene.

The water was surging under the impact of the towering white jade pillars. Countless water splashes like broken gold, shining with dazzling golden light, making the entire water look like a dream.

The ripples on the water surface seemed to be torn apart by a huge force, forming one huge wave after another.

The nine-headed golden rainbow originally hid under the water, trying to avoid the attack of the Bull Demon King.

However, the towering white jade pillar was shaking everywhere, making her feel a huge threat underwater and there was no place to hide.

She saw that the towering white jade pillar was about to hit her.

Then, the nine golden rainbows turned into a dazzling golden light and suddenly broke through the water surface.

She revealed her demonic body to fight - half human, half snake, with a human body and a snake tail, radiating golden light all over, enchanting and majestic.

At this moment, the Nine-Headed Jin Ni had a graceful figure and a pretty face, and her snake tail was extremely flexible, giving her a unique allure.

Her long snake tail was seen hovering above the water, harnessing the power of water and using the softness of the water to dissolve the extremely masculine force of the Bull Demon King's stick.

She gently waved her hands, and the two hard and soft double-edged swords instantly turned into two golden sword lights, which cut through the sky like golden lightning and met the Bull Demon King's sky-supporting white jade pillar.

"Half human, half snake, human body and snake tail..."

Xiao Chen, who was watching the fight from the side, glanced at the beautiful snake.

A wave of fantasies surged in his mind, and he thought of the legendary Nuwa.

"I wonder what the connection is between Nuwa and the snake clan?"

Although he had never seen Nuwa's true appearance, according to the descriptions handed down, Nuwa usually appeared in this half-human, half-snake image.

Right now, the Nine-Headed Golden Rainbow has utilized the Nine Infants' ability to spit water and cleverly transformed the entire Nine-Headed Mountain Range into a swamp. It is a good idea to use the softness of water to overcome the hardness and dissolve the masculine force of the Bull Demon King.

now.

In the air above Jiushou Mountain, the Bull Demon King controlled the raging wind and swung the sky-high white jade pillar with unstoppable force, fully demonstrating his masculine power.

At the bottom of the Jiushou Mountain, the nine-headed golden rainbow uses the water to dance with the hard and soft double-edged sword, lightly and gracefully, overcoming hardness with softness, perfectly interpreting the beauty of "yin and softness".

"Dang, Dang, Dang..."

"Zheng, Zheng, Zheng..."

The surface of the sky-supporting white jade pillar and the edge of the hard and soft double-edged sword kept colliding, making a crisp sound of metal that echoed among the mountains.

For a moment, the mountains trembled and the water rippled.

In a blink of an eye, the Bull Demon King and the Snake Queen fought for another thirty-four rounds.

Their battle was so fierce that only the "birds that pass by cannot fly all fold their wings, the fish that swim do not leap all hide their scales; the ghosts weep and the gods howl, the sky and earth are dark, the dragons worry and the tigers are afraid of the sun's dimming!"

The entire peak of Jiushou Mountain was shrouded in a murderous atmosphere.

However, although the Nine-Headed Golden Ni can use the power of the water to deal with the Bull Demon King, the environment of this battle is after all on the top of the Nine-Headed Mountain.

Water flows to lower places, which is an immutable law of heaven and earth.

The water she condensed is constantly being consumed and dissipated.

Although she could continuously "swallow and spit out" the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on Lion's Roar Mountain to replenish the water in the marsh, at this moment, the Bull Demon King's stick was very powerful and she could not concentrate on two things.

If this continues, one will gain while the other will lose.

Although Nine-Headed Jin Ni was wielding the hard and soft double-edged sword with all her might, after fighting with the Bull Demon King for more than ten rounds, her sword moves had obviously become messy.

Obviously, Nine-Headed Jin Ni was beaten weak by the Bull Demon King's stick and could not resist any more.

The Bull Demon King was a martial arts master with great experience, and he keenly sensed the fatigue of the Nine-Headed Golden Ni.

"Hey!"

"Take this stick from me, old cow!"

The Bull Demon King was very cunning. He suddenly shouted loudly and hit him with a stick. The Nine-Headed Jin Ni hurriedly took up his sword to block, but he didn't expect that this was just a feint by the Bull Demon King.

The Bull Demon King turned the stick in his hand, gathered strength, and swung the heavy stick like lightning, hitting the Nine-Headed Golden Ni's shoulder solidly.

However, this battle was just a competition, not a life-and-death battle.

At the moment when the stick was about to hit the Nine-Headed Golden Ni, the Bull Demon King retracted five points of his strength.

"oops!"

The nine-headed Jin Ni was hit by the Bull Demon King's stick, cried out in pain, and was knocked into the water.

However, the Jiuying lineage is originally soulless and spiritless. All their abilities are condensed in their flesh, and their bodies are extremely strong.

In addition, they were able to gather spiritual energy from heaven and earth to recover from their injuries. So even though Nine-Headed Jin Ni was slightly injured by a blow from the Bull Demon King, he did not lose the strength to fight again.

She quickly adjusted her condition underwater and used the spiritual energy of the water to recover from her injuries.

Then, the nine-headed golden rainbow surfaced, coiled its snake body, collected the hard and soft double-edged sword, turned it into a pair of golden earrings and hung them on its ears, and chuckled:
"Bull Demon King, your stick is really powerful. I am no match for you."

Now that both sides have used their martial arts and magic skills to compete, she is indeed no match for the Bull Demon King, so she simply admits it.

"Jiushou Jinni, just admit defeat now."

"If you keep hitting me, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop using my stick."

Upon seeing this, the Bull Demon King also put away his stick, showing his manly demeanor and said.

"However, the strongest part of my Nine Infants lineage is our physical body."

Jiushou Jinni's words revealed determination and pride, and he continued:
"My father is no longer with us, so I cannot bring disgrace upon his reputation!"

Jiushou Jinni chuckled, and her eyes became extremely cold in an instant.

Then, the nine-headed golden body began to tremble softly and bonelessly, like willow branches swaying in the spring breeze, but this seemingly weak trembling contained amazing power.

The next moment, she had transformed into a nearly three thousand foot long golden two-headed python, emitting a steady and deadly aura.

The body of this golden two-headed giant python shimmered in the sun, like a golden river flowing in the sun. The golden scales all over its body sparkled in the sun, flashing a dazzling light.

There are two ferocious snake heads in front of the golden python. The left head spews out poisonous water, which is like a cold spring in the abyss, icy and bone-chilling; the right head spews out raging fire, like the fire of hell, extremely hot.

The two intertwined together to form a terrifying barrier that was daunting.

The nine-headed golden beast's fangs were extremely sharp and flashed with cold light. She bit directly at the Bull Demon King, as if she wanted to swallow him in one bite.

Seeing this, the Bull Demon King was not surprised but delighted, and said with a grin:

"Good to see you." "Let me have another look at the flesh and blood of the Nine Infants lineage."

The Bull Demon King's voice revealed his desire for battle and his recognition of the Nine-Headed Golden Ni's strength.

When sparring, it is natural that the more methods the opponent has and the stronger his strength is, the better!
Otherwise, what's the point of a meaningless duel?
After saying that, the Bull Demon King suddenly rolled over, and with a deafening roar, his body shape began to change drastically.

His body gradually swelled, his muscles bulged, his skin became as tough as iron, and continued to grow larger.

In the end, he revealed his true form as the ferocious beast "獓因".

I saw a huge white bull rising slowly, its head as tall as a mountain, and its eyes flashing with a heart-pounding light, as if it could see through all the secrets of the world.

The two horns were like two towering iron towers, sharp and hard, shining with a metallic luster, and the teeth were arranged like sharp blades, shining with cold light, making people shudder.

The body of this big white bull was extremely huge. It was over a thousand feet long from head to tail, and about eight hundred feet high from hoof to back.

Its hair is like snow, sparkling with dazzling light, just like a moving towering mountain.

At this time, on Jiushou Mountain.

At this time, the nearly three thousand feet long two-headed golden python and the thousand-foot long white-haired bull were facing each other in the distance, and the atmosphere between them was extremely tense.

The giant snake hissed and the white bull roared, and the two tested each other on the battlefield, looking for each other's flaws.

Finally, with an earth-shaking roar, the golden python and the big white bull launched a fierce attack at the same time.

The golden python took the opportunity to dodge the attack of the big white bull. Her body was like a golden river, flowing in the sun. She coiled up flexibly, trying to entangle the big white bull with her powerful body.

The big white bull charged east and west, its two iron horns standing upright and shining brightly, resisting the attacks of the golden python.

Its body was huge and flexible, and it used its huge body to hit the giant python from the south and the north, as if it wanted to smash it to pieces.

At the same time, the big white bull's hard tail with hairy hair and muscular tendons was swinging left and right, like a huge whip, constantly whipping the golden two-headed python.

There were bursts of roaring noises.

The battle between the bull pythons was very fierce.

The big white bull rushed forward with great power, and every kick of its hooves seemed to be able to crush mountains and rivers. It stomped hard on the body of the golden two-headed python, trying to crush it.

At the same time, the Bull Demon King's hairy, muscular, and hard tail swung like a dragon, constantly whipping the giant python in an attempt to whip her away.

However, the body of this golden two-headed python is extremely flexible. It is like a golden lightning, dodging and shuttling back and forth among the attacks of the big white bull while looking for opportunities to entangle the big white bull.

Her two snake heads continuously spewed out poisonous water and fire in an attempt to cause fatal damage to the big white bull.

Both sides suffered casualties and the fighting was extremely fierce.

Suddenly, the Bull Demon King seized a flaw in the golden python and launched a fierce attack.

The golden two-headed python was caught off guard and was hit by the Bull Demon King's hoof. The power of the hoof was so great that it almost crushed the snake's body.

"hiss!"

The golden two-headed python hissed in pain, and its voice revealed endless suffering and tenacity.

However, the golden two-headed python did not surrender. She endured the pain, and coiled up along the big white bull's hooves, coiling flexibly and tightly wrapping around the big white bull's body.

At the same time, the golden python used both heads to bite the neck and body of the big white bull, trying to defeat the Bull Demon King in one fell swoop.

The big white bull rushed forward and rammed its body into the mountain, trying to break free from the python's entanglement.

However, every time it struck the mountain, its snake body was forced to ram into the mountain continuously, causing unbearable pain.

After a while, the golden two-headed python could no longer hold on.

"Bull Demon King, please retract your magical powers."

"We lost this game."

Jiushou Qingjun looked at the golden two-headed python that was covered in wounds, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, and he spoke.

There is no hatred between the two sides, this is just an exchange of ideas.

When the Bull Demon King heard that the other party had admitted defeat, he naturally retracted his magical powers and transformed into a human form.

However, the Bull Demon King looked a little disheveled at this time, with several snake bite marks on his back.

In comparison, Nine-Headed Jin Ni's injuries were obviously more serious.

Her whole body was bruised and bloody, and many of her snake scales had fallen off.

However, even though she was badly injured, there was still a flicker of unwillingness in her eyes.

But when he thought about his father's affairs, Jiushou Jinni could only sigh and give up.

On Jiushou Mountain, the battle between yin and yang, softness and hardness ultimately ended with the victory of yang.

Jiushou Qingjun stepped forward and embraced Jiushou Jinni, smiling comfortingly:

"It's okay, sister. You are already very powerful. You have brought glory to our Nine Infants clan."

"If my father knew, he would be very pleased."

"Leave the rest to me, your sister."

Jiushou Jinni patted Jiushou Qingjun heavily and said softly:
"This place is good, but compared to what happened to my father, it's second to none."

"Right now, that treasure is about to fall into the air, and we can seize it right away."

“That’s the first thing.”

"You still have to focus on preserving your strength."

At this point, Jiushou Jinni sighed softly, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes:

"If Father could..."

"My Nine Infants clan will surely be able to restore its former glory. Who in Northern Julu Continent can..."

Upon hearing this, Jiushou Qingjun held Jiushou Jinni's hand and nodded.

"Sister, I understand."

……

On the other side, the three demons, the Lion King, the Monkey King and the Golden Horned King, stepped forward to welcome back the Bull Demon King.

Although the Bull Demon King won the battle, there was no trace of complacency on his face. Instead, he looked a little solemn, as if he was still highly alert to the upcoming battle.

Xiao Chen wanted to use the Precious Lotus Lantern to heal his injuries.

The Bull Demon King waved his hand and refused:

"Brother, I can handle this injury myself."

"You are about to go on stage, don't waste your mana on me."

Xiao Chen accepted it calmly and prepared to go on stage.

At this time, the Bull Demon King patted him on the shoulder and once again earnestly instructed:
"My dear brother, remember that the little green snake has very sharp teeth."

"I suffered a great loss last time."

"Brother, I understand."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen glanced at the green snake body and spoke seriously.

There is no absolute defense in this world.

Sun Wukong's indestructibility and iron head do not make him invincible.

Even the 10-foot-tall golden body of Tathagata Buddha was shot off his horse by the Scorpion Demon and fell from the altar, just like the story of "Duke Zhuang of Zheng shooting the Emperor of Zhou with an arrow".

In terms of defense-breaking ability, the Five Poisons are the best among them.

The needle at the back of the Scorpion Demon's tail can be cultivated into a poisonous horse-inverting stake, which can destroy the indestructible body of Sun Wukong and the golden body of Tathagata Buddha.

The golden light of the centipede demon's thousand eyes can also break Sun Wukong's indestructible body.

The toad among the five poisonous creatures has mainly evolved its ability to swallow food, and it will swallow its prey in one gulp.

Scorpion tail, centipede eyes, poisonous snake fangs... they are all one of the Five Poisonous Creatures. The Eternal Poison Scorpion, the Thousand-Eyed Centipede, and the Nine-Infant Giant Snake are all ancient species. Their defense-breaking abilities should be similar.

The fangs of venomous snakes, in particular, are known for their sharpness.

"Venomous snake fangs..."

Xiao Chen muttered softly, secretly on guard.

This battle is a contest between the "Snake King" and the "Toad King".

I really don't know whether the giant snake eats the toad, or the toad eats the giant snake.
