Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

"not good!"

The Giant Spirit God inwardly cried out, fear flashing in his eyes. The power of that blow was simply too great; he had no confidence whatsoever in withstanding Sun Wukong's attack.

He hadn't expected that Sun Wukong's strength far surpassed his own.

Sun Wukong's blow sealed off all his escape routes; he had no choice but to take the blow head-on.

If he doesn't fight back, Sun Wukong's golden cudgel will smash his entire body into a pulp. But if he does fight back, even if he can't withstand Sun Wukong's blow, he might still have a chance to survive.

Having made up his mind, the Giant Spirit God quickly picked up the Xuanhua Great Axe in his hand and held it in front of his chest.

With a snap, the golden cudgel struck the Xuanhua axe, and a cracking sound rang out. The handle of the Xuanhua axe in the giant spirit's hand was smashed into two pieces.

The immense force sent the giant spirit's massive body flying.

With a loud bang, the giant spirit crashed into a black rock the size of a house. The massive impact shattered the black rock into pieces, sending countless head-sized stones flying.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of blood spurted from the giant spirit's mouth.

This attack caused the Giant Spirit God considerable injury.

Sun Wukong stood firm, golden cudgel in hand. Under the banner of the Law of Heaven and Earth, his towering figure, several dozen feet tall, resembled an iron tower, exuding an awe-inspiring presence. Sun Wukong said, "Giant Spirit God, are you now convinced of my abilities?"

The giant spirit dared not reply, dragging his wounded body, he rode a cloud and flew into the sky. As he flew, blood splattered down his face.

Sun Wukong mocked, "Coward! What a coward! You didn't even dare to say a word after losing."

The giant spirit rode a cloud into the sky and came before Li Jing. He knelt on one knee, spitting blood as he said, "Marshal, that demon monkey is incredibly powerful. I am no match for him. Please calm your anger, Marshal!"

Li Jing was furious and said, "I ordered you to be the first to fight, but I didn't expect you to be so useless. You were defeated in an instant. You've really dampened our spirits. Get out of here and make a fool of yourself."

The giant spirit dared not speak and dragged his injured body to the back.

After reprimanding the Giant Spirit God, Li Jing frowned. Although he had spoken ill of the Giant Spirit God, he knew of the Giant Spirit God's strength; he was quite powerful and held a place among the Heavenly Court's generals.

This time, the Jade Emperor only sent him and Nezha, along with 80,000 heavenly soldiers and generals. The strength of those heavenly generals was even inferior to that of the Giant Spirit God. The Giant Spirit God had been defeated; sending them up would only be sending them to their deaths.

Furthermore, his relationship with Nezha has never been harmonious. Even if he gives an order, Nezha may not obey, and in that case, he will lose face.

He couldn't just put Nezha into the Linglong Pagoda like that, could he?

Li Jing felt a sudden pain in his heart. He shouldn't have sent anyone to deal with Sun Wukong. If he had known that Sun Wukong was so powerful, he should have asked the Jade Emperor to send more heavenly generals down when they were in Heaven.

However, Sun Wukong should continue to be captured. If he were to return home now, he would not only be ridiculed, but the Jade Emperor would also be dissatisfied.

Left with no other choice, Li Jing said, "Generals, we have come here on the orders of the Jade Emperor to capture this demon monkey. Although this demon monkey is not weak, as long as we work together, we will be able to capture it. I wonder if any of you generals are willing to go down and capture the demon monkey?"

The generals behind Li Jing looked at each other, none of them stepping forward.

They had just witnessed the giant spirit's appearance; if even the giant spirit was no match for them, then they were no match for him.

Seeing that no one volunteered to fight, Li Jing was furious and was about to reprimand them when he heard a voice in his ear.

"Marshal, Nezha is willing to go down and meet that demon monkey. I hope you will watch carefully from above. If he defeats the demon monkey, I hope you will capture him on the spot and not let him escape."

Having said that, Nezha flew down without waiting for him to speak.

"Why is he so proactive today, volunteering for the mission?"

Looking at Nezha's retreating figure, Li Jing felt a sense of confusion.

"That's it! He heard the giant spirit say that the demon monkey was quite powerful, and he was curious, so he took the initiative to go down and fight." In an instant, Li Jing understood the reason.

Although he understood the reason, Li Jing's heart, like Gu Bo's, was still stirred.

Nezha stood there, wielding his Fire-Tipped Spear, riding on his Wind-Fire Wheels, wearing the Universe Ring around his neck, and clad in silver armor that gleamed brightly in the sunlight. His imposing aura, like a mountain, emanated from Nezha.

The Wind Fire Wheels were incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, Nezha had arrived at Flower Fruit Mountain.

After defeating the giant spirit god, Sun Wukong was about to return to his cave to check on his monkey followers when suddenly a figure flew down from the sky.

After seeing Nezha's face clearly, Sun Wukong laughed and said, "And who are you, you brat? What are you doing here on my Flower Fruit Mountain?"

Nezha is over five feet tall, with a face like a full moon, willow-leaf eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a slightly chubby figure, two small braids on his head, and a face that still looks childish.

Sun Wukong's view of Nezha as a child was absolutely correct.

Chapter 466 Three Heads and Six Arms

Holding his Fire-Tipped Spear, Nezha shouted sternly, "You impudent monkey, how dare you be so arrogant! I am Nezha, the Third Prince, and you don't even recognize me! I have come here today by order of the Jade Emperor to arrest you, you demon monkey!"

Because after Nezha returned his bones and flesh to his parents, his body was transformed from lotus root, which is why he never grew tall, and he really hates it when people say this.

Sun Wukong mocked Nezha for being young, which could be said to have touched a nerve with Nezha. Nezha's right hand, which was holding the Fire-Tipped Spear, clenched tighter involuntarily.

Sun Wukong said, "So you are Nezha, the Third Prince. I have heard of your reputation, but if we really compare, you are no match for me. You should retreat now and go back to tell the Jade Emperor that if he accepts my title and invests me according to the banners on Flower Fruit Mountain, I will naturally submit. If he refuses, I will storm the Lingxiao Palace and make sure he can't sit on his dragon throne!"

Looking towards the top of Flower Fruit Mountain, Nezha saw a bamboo pole with a banner hanging on it, on which were embroidered the four golden characters "Great Sage Equal to Heaven".

After reading it, Nezha sneered, "You demon monkey, you really don't know what's good for you. What kind of skill do you have to dare to call yourself that? Quickly take a shot from me!"

Sun Wukong said, "Good boy, I'll stand here and let you stab me a few times, so you can see what I'm capable of!"

Nezha angrily said, "You demon monkey are courting death, so you can't blame me."

The fire-tipped spear in his hand emitted streaks of crimson flames, and the intense heat made the entire space much hotter. With a thrust of the spear, it attacked like a fire dragon.

Sun Wukong didn't dare to stand there and let Nezha's fire-tipped spear pierce him. He chanted a mantra and used a clone technique to dodge it.

Nezha sneered, "As expected of that demon monkey, he has no integrity whatsoever. He just made me boast that I could stab him while he stood there, how are you going to dodge now?"

"Take another shot!" Nezha roared, chanting incantations as he swayed his body, revealing himself with three heads and six arms.

The three heads were the same size, with no difference in appearance or expression. The six arms held six different weapons: a demon-slaying sword, a demon-cutting knife, a demon-binding rope, a demon-subduing pestle, an embroidered ball, and a fire wheel. They all swung them at once and attacked.

Sun Wukong was astonished and exclaimed, "What incredible supernatural power!"

Then he swayed his body and also displayed a three-headed, six-armed form, with three hairy faces and thunder god mouths, and six hairy arms, each holding a golden cudgel.

"This monkey demon is indeed quite capable."

This three-headed, six-armed ability is no ordinary supernatural power; without the secret teachings, it's impossible to cultivate it successfully. His three heads and six arms were taught to him by the Immortal Taiyi.

Taiyi Zhenren was a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, so it was perfectly normal for him to possess this supernatural power. But how did Sun Wukong, a demon king from the lower realms, manage to cultivate such a power?

Nezha was puzzled, so he released the Demon-Binding Rope from his hand. As soon as the Demon-Binding Rope left his hand, it grew longer in the wind, becoming tens of feet long and more than half a foot wide. It swirled and danced in the air, like a dragon, and flew towards Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong hurriedly swung his Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel) to block Nezha's demon-binding rope. At this moment, Nezha unleashed his other weapons.

The demon-slaying sword, the demon-chopping knife, the demon-subduing pestle, and the fire wheel all attacked Sun Wukong at once.

The Demon-Slaying Sword was incredibly sharp, gleaming coldly in the sunlight, sending chills down one's spine. The Demon-Slaying Blade possessed an astonishing aura, a chilling presence emanating from its blade. Countless ghosts wailed, these were the demons and monsters who had perished on the blade, their souls bound to it, unable to escape, hence their cries.

The demon-subduing pestle was as big as a wolf's head; the fire wheel became like a millstone, spinning around in the air, which was terrifying to look at.

These five weapons, along with the previously used Demon-Binding Rope, attacked Sun Wukong together.

Fortunately, Sun Wukong displayed his three heads and six arms, wielding six golden cudgels. The six golden cudgels swung around like wheels, blocking all of Nezha's six weapons.

Immediately, the sounds of various weapons clashing rang out, countless lights flashed incessantly, and the huge aftershocks of the battle spread out, blasting a huge crater twenty or thirty feet deep into the ground beneath the two.

Sun Wukong was anxious. Flower Fruit Mountain was his and his monkey followers' home and livelihood. If the fighting continued like this, the entire Flower Fruit Mountain would probably be destroyed by the aftershocks of their battle.

"Change it!"

At this moment, Nezha let out a fierce shout, his hands forming hand seals and his mouth chanting incantations. The six weapons in the sky flickered and transformed into tens of thousands of identical weapons, which then bombarded Sun Wukong.

Tens of thousands of weapons were arranged densely in the air, like locusts, covering the entire sky.

Seeing Nezha's tens of thousands of weapons coming at him, Sun Wukong felt no fear whatsoever. He also shouted "Change!" and his golden cudgel soared into the air, transforming into thousands of weapons that blocked all of Nezha's tens of thousands of weapons.

It can be said that for every number of Nezha's six weapons that could be transformed, Sun Wukong's golden cudgel could also be transformed into the same number.

Taking advantage of this moment, Sun Wukong plucked a hair from his body, chewed it, and suddenly spat it out, uttering the word "transform." The hair instantly transformed into his likeness, holding the golden cudgel, pretending to fight Nezha.

Meanwhile, he himself, holding the golden cudgel, quietly slipped behind Nezha and struck him down with the cudgel.

Nezha was controlling the weapons in the sky when he suddenly heard a clang from behind him. He was immediately alarmed and cried out in alarm, realizing that Sun Wukong was attacking him from behind. He quickly dodged to the side.

Chapter 467 The Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven

However, it was too late for him to react at this moment. He had only taken half a step to the side when Sun Wukong's golden cudgel had already landed on him.

It was precisely because he dodged half a step to the side, avoiding a fatal blow, that Sun Wukong's staff only struck his arm, not his head. Otherwise, his entire head would probably have been smashed into a pulp by Sun Wukong's staff.

With his arm injured by Sun Wukong, Nezha didn't hesitate and leaped into the sky.

Sun Wukong did not chase after him, but looked up and watched Nezha run away.

Nezha leaped to Li Jing's side and said, "Marshal, that demon monkey is very powerful. I am no match for him. My arm has been injured by him."

"Your arm is injured, is it alright?" Li Jing asked anxiously, then instantly realized what had happened, snorted coldly, and said nothing more.

Nezha pretended not to hear and stood there blankly.

"Phew!" Li Jing let out a long breath, thinking to himself, "I really didn't expect this demon monkey to be so strong. Even Nezha is no match for him!"

Although Nezha is only seven feet tall, his strength is extraordinary. His combat power ranks among the top in Heaven. Apart from Yang Jian, the number one disciple of the third generation of the Chan Sect, it can be said that no one dares to say that they are better than Nezha.

But even the incredibly powerful Nezha was defeated, leaving Li Jing somewhat at a loss. If even Nezha was no match for him, then the remaining heavenly soldiers and generals, even if they all attacked together, would probably not be a match for that demon monkey.

After thinking for a while, Li Jing still couldn't come up with a solution, and he couldn't help but feel a little impatient. He thought it best to hurry up and return to the capital.

At this moment, the Giant Spirit God appeared from behind and said, "Marshal, when I was fighting with that monkey demon, I saw a bamboo pole standing on his Flower Fruit Mountain, with a banner hanging on it. The banner had the four characters 'Great Sage Equal to Heaven' written on it. That monkey demon told me that if the Jade Emperor were to grant him this official title, he would give up everything and would be willing to return to the Heavenly Palace to serve as an official."

Li Jing nodded and said, "Since that demon monkey says so, let's go back and report to the Jade Emperor so that he can deal with it. This demon monkey is too powerful; we can't handle it."
