Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

That's a joke. He's no match for Sun Wukong alone, let alone adding the Bull Demon King, who's on par with Sun Wukong.

If he dares to go out and provoke them, the two of them working together could probably turn him into a dead dragon in an instant.

Such a scene had only occurred once in the Dragon King's memory of the East Sea.

In that incident, he directly lost his third son. The son of the city lord of Chentang Pass was none other than Li Nezha, who was now appointed by the Heavenly Court as the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas!

The four seas—east, west, south, north, and south—are connected without boundaries, stretching for countless miles. With countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals, plus the titles bestowed by the Heavenly Court, the power of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas is not weak; they are practically regional lords.

Although the dragon race is powerful, it has no real experts. There are many shrimp soldiers and crab generals, but they are insignificant in front of true masters and cannot play a significant role.

Moreover, in the eyes of the Dragon King of the East Sea, there was no need for him to have a grudge against Sun Wukong.

On the vast ocean, Sun Wukong and the Bull Demon King clashed with their staffs, the booming sounds like thunder, and rays of light spread out, dazzling and illuminating all directions. Their strengths were roughly equal, and after fighting for so long, no victor had emerged.

At first, the Bull Demon King gradually gained the upper hand over Sun Wukong, but as time went on, Sun Wukong's combat experience increased little by little, and slowly, Sun Wukong gained the upper hand.

Time passed, and night fell. The sky was pitch black, and the moon cast its silvery light, illuminating the rolling sea with a shimmering white glow. A few fist-sized stars twinkled, blinking like human eyes.

Sun Wukong and the Bull Demon King have been fighting for a whole day.

The two fought for a while longer, then the Bull Demon King suddenly dodged backward and said, "It's getting late today, how about we continue tomorrow?"

The Bull Demon King retreated, and Sun Wukong's staff missed its mark. Just as he was about to chase after him to attack again, he suddenly heard the Bull Demon King say this, and he froze and stopped.

Only then did he realize that it was already evening.

Logically speaking, both of them were at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, so day and night made no difference to them. However, since they had already stopped, Sun Wukong couldn't very well attack the Bull Demon King again.

Although Sun Wukong was itching to fight—the battle had unleashed all his fighting instincts—he had no choice but to stop.

At this moment, he was filled with heroic spirit and passion, wishing there was another person to fight him again.

Seeing the Bull Demon King retreat, he was itching to fight back, but there was nothing he could do. He said, "Today's battle was quite exhilarating. Since that's the case, why don't we go to my cave and have some wine?"

"Very good." The Bull Demon King laughed heartily, but secretly shook his hands. Sun Wukong's golden cudgel had shaken his arms, making them numb and sore, and he could no longer exert any strength. If the fight continued, he would only be defeated.

However, he was somewhat surprised by Sun Wukong's strength.

They entered the Water Curtain Cave together with Sun Wukong. The monkeys and their followers quickly laid out various spiritual fruits and filled the stone table with fine wine. The two drank for half the night before going to sleep, and the night passed without incident.

The next day, Sun Wukong challenged the Bull Demon King to a fight. Although the Bull Demon King knew that their strengths were roughly equal and that it would be difficult to determine a winner even if they fought again, he couldn't help but agree under Sun Wukong's instigation.

Moreover, having fought Sun Wukong to a draw yesterday, he still harbored a lingering sense of resentment. After a night's rest, all his fatigue vanished, and his burning fighting spirit surged within him.

After leaving the Water Curtain Cave, the two flew to the East China Sea and fought for a day. Various booming sounds, like thunder, resounded, and countless rosy avenues, like hundred-foot-long ribbons, were dazzling.

After a day of fighting, neither of them could gain the upper hand. As night fell, the two returned to the Water Curtain Cave, hand in hand and arm in arm.

As they continued to clash, their relationship not only did not deteriorate, but instead became increasingly intimate.

For four or five days in a row, Sun Wukong fought and sparred with the Bull Demon King every day. For the first two days, the Bull Demon King was able to keep up, but in the following days, he began to struggle.

That morning, when the Bull Demon King saw that Sun Wukong was going to invite him to a contest on the sea again, he quickly said before Sun Wukong could speak, "Brother, it's a bit lonely here with only the two of us in your cave. Why don't I go out and invite a few more people so we can chat, discuss the Dao, compete in martial arts, drink and have fun together? Wouldn't that be better?"

Having said that, the Bull Demon King didn't wait for Sun Wukong's reply. As if fleeing, he transformed into a rainbow of light and flew out of the Water Curtain Cave.

Upon arriving at the sea, the Bull Demon King saw a vast expanse of blue water stretching to the horizon. Several white seagulls soared above the surface, and a faint scent of the sea filled his nostrils.

Chapter 451 The Flood Dragon King Appears

Looking back at Flower Fruit Mountain, the Bull Demon King breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease. He said with some relief, "Luckily, I, the old bull, reacted quickly. Otherwise, that monkey would probably have challenged me to another duel today."

In the past few days, Sun Wukong had fought him every day, leaving him exhausted and weak. In his eyes, Sun Wukong seemed to be a battle maniac who never stopped.

"Forget it, let's go somewhere else to have some fun."

Looking up at the sky, the Bull Demon King discerned his direction, transformed into a streak of rainbow light, and flew away.

In a short while, the Bull Demon King arrived at a huge pool of water.

Beside the pool, a vast expanse of mountains stretched out, their undulating peaks resembling a giant dragon, its claws outstretched and crouching on the ground. Ancient trees towered high on the mountains, a verdant expanse.

The deep pool was thousands of feet in size, with no end in sight, looking just like a vast ocean. A misty haze rose from the pool, forming a thick white fog that enveloped the entire pool.

Beside the pool stood a huge stone tablet, over three zhang tall and seven or eight chi wide. On the tablet, the three large characters "Wanlongtan" were written in a vigorous and elegant style.

The three characters, like iron hooks and silver strokes, are captivating and exude a sharp aura.

Upon arriving at the pool, the Bull Demon King leaped into the water, parting the currents.

"King Bull is here!"

They had barely taken two steps into the pool when a Yaksha spotted the Bull Demon King and immediately called out.

The Bull Demon King asked, "Is your Flood Dragon Demon King in the Dragon Palace?"

Yaksha said, "My king is drinking in the palace. I will go in and inform him now!"

The yaksha turned and headed towards the Dragon Palace.

The Yaksha parted the waterways and traveled swiftly to the Dragon Palace, where he immediately reported the arrival of the dragon.

When the Bull Demon King arrived at the Dragon Palace, the Flood Dragon Demon King, dressed in splendid iron armor and wearing a yellow cloak, with fangs, a wide mouth, a lion's nose, phoenix eyes, a square face, and curled lips, and wearing a silver crown, rushed forward upon seeing the Bull Demon King and said, "Rare guest! Rare guest! Please come in."

With that, he took the Bull Demon King's hand and entered the Dragon Palace.

Within the Dragon Palace, celestial music resounded, creating an atmosphere of peace and harmony. The entire main hall was resplendent in gold and jade, dazzling the eye. Light mist and veils draped the space, and colorful clouds swirled around it. On either side of the hall, several large crystal tables were set up, displaying fine wines, delicacies, and rare fruits, their enticing aromas tempting the palate.

The Flood Dragon Demon King and the Bull Demon King took their seats according to their status as host and host. The Flood Dragon Demon King said, "Knowing that my brother was coming, I had already prepared a banquet. Please do not find it offensive and enjoy it to your heart's content."

The Bull Demon King said, "Brother, you're too kind. Your Dragon Palace is not much different from the Dragon Palace of the East Sea. Who would complain about it?"

After exchanging a few polite words, the Flood Dragon Demon King asked, "A few days ago, I saw my brother fighting with a figure on the Eastern Ocean. I wonder who that figure was, and how he offended my brother?"

The Bull Demon King's face twitched, and he didn't hide anything, saying truthfully, "Brother, do you still remember that aura that rose above the East Sea a few days ago? I sensed it and was overjoyed, so I rushed to pay him a visit. Who knew that person was a battle maniac? As soon as he saw me, he wanted to fight me. I stayed there for four or five days, fighting for four or five days straight. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I came to you, brother, to take refuge."

The Flood Dragon Demon King asked, "How strong is that person?"

The Bull Demon King said, "He is quite strong. I fought him for four or five days, and neither of us could gain the upper hand."

The Demon King of the Flood Dragons showed a hint of surprise on his face and said, "Oh. There are such people? When will you introduce me to someone who can fight you to a draw? I want to see what he is like."

The Bull Demon King said, "What's so difficult about that? After you've drunk this wine, I'll take you to visit him. Just when I left, I said I was out visiting a friend and having some fun."

After finishing their drinks, the Bull Demon King and the Flood Dragon Demon King actually flew towards Flower Fruit Mountain.

"King Bull is here! King Bull is here!"

As soon as the Bull Demon King landed from the sky, some monkeys saw his figure and shouted.

During his few days on Flower Fruit Mountain, the Bull Demon King became familiar with all the monkeys there.

"There's a stranger following King Niu!"

Then another monkey called out.

The Bull Demon King said, "Quickly go and inform your king that the Flood Dragon Demon King of Wanlong Pool has come to pay his respects. Tell your king to come out and greet him immediately."

Inside the Water Curtain Cave, Sun Wukong was overjoyed to hear that the Bull Demon King had returned. Ever since the Bull Demon King left, he had been itching all over and wished he could find someone to fight.

However, there weren't many beings in Flower Fruit Mountain who could rival him. His monkey followers were, needless to say, pitifully weak. The seventy-two demon kings of the caves were all only at the True Immortal level; he could easily suppress them with just his aura, let alone actually fight them.

He hurriedly went out of the Water Curtain Cave to greet him, and saw that beside the Bull Demon King, who was more than two zhang tall, there was another figure whose aura was not weak, only slightly weaker than that of the Bull Demon King.

Sun Wukong asked, "Who is this?"

The Flood Dragon Demon King cupped his hands in greeting and said, "I am the Flood Dragon Demon King of the Ten Thousand Dragon Pool. I have long admired the name of the Monkey King, so I have come to pay my respects today."

"Haha! Empty fame! All empty fame! Since you've come from afar to visit, of course you're welcome! Of course you're welcome!"

Sun Wukong greeted the Bull Demon King and the Flood Dragon Demon King, and together they entered the Water Curtain Cave.

Nearby, monkeys and their offspring had laid out rare and exotic fruits, delicious dishes, and fine wines to entertain the group.

At the banquet, Sun Wukong, the Bull Demon King, and the Flood Dragon Demon King discussed literature and martial arts, passed around wine cups, sang and danced, and ate until their faces were red.

When they were having a good time, Sun Wukong got excited and insisted on dragging the Bull Demon King outside for another match.

Chapter 452 The Four Demon Kings

Fortunately, the Flood Dragon Demon King was nearby. He had heard of Sun Wukong's strength but had never seen it. Seeing Sun Wukong invite the Bull Demon King, he felt a little restless.

Sun Wukong felt a little disappointed when the Bull Demon King refused, so he turned to invite the Flood Dragon Demon King instead. He sensed that the Flood Dragon Demon King's aura was weaker than the Bull Demon King's; he could fight the Bull Demon King to a draw, so the Flood Dragon Demon King was naturally no match for him.

He, however, looked down on the Flood Dragon Demon King.

However, it's better for someone to play with him than for no one to play with him.

Sun Wukong's invitation to the Flood Dragon Demon King was exactly what the Flood Dragon Demon King wanted, and the two hit it off immediately. Sun Wukong and the Flood Dragon Demon King leaped into the air, transforming into a streak of rainbow light, and flew towards the surface of the East Sea, with the Bull Demon King following closely behind.

The East China Sea is vast and boundless, with azure waters and rolling, roaring waves that surge forth like a thousand troops charging into battle.

"Take my stick!"

With a roar, Sun Wukong swung his Ruyi Jingu Bang, which shone with boundless light and unleashed immense power, and smashed it down on the head of the Flood Dragon Demon King.

Even a hundred-foot-tall mountain would crumble under Sun Wukong's blow.

"Well done!"

Not to be outdone, the Flood Dragon Demon King roused himself and drew his weapon. His weapon was a halberd, over ten feet long, its entire body a mercury-like color, its silver light flowing and dazzling, and the sharp tip of the halberd radiating a cold gleam.

When Sun Wukong's Ruyi Jingu Bang came at him, he raised his Fangtian Huaji to parry it.

With a clang, the two weapons collided, and the enormous impact sent the Flood Dragon Demon King staggering back hundreds of feet before finally coming to a stop.
