Traveling Through Journey to the West: I Am the Dragon King

After listening to Baihu Shenjun's words, Yun Chonghua said, "Although Sister Baihe once told me that it's not shameful to run away when you can't win, it's not the act of a true man to desert before even fighting."

Yun Chonghua glanced at the ghost that had just seduced him.

"Besides, demons harm and kill people, and imprison local immortals and ghost messengers. I was entrusted to come and exorcise these demons. If I were to go back without keeping my word, I wouldn't be able to hold my head high in front of my colleagues."

Yun Chonghua raised his halberd and pointed it, then said, "No matter what your identity is, you tiger demon, as long as you harm and kill, I will not tolerate you! If I cannot seek justice for these mortals, I will be unworthy of being a deity!"

The White Tiger God nodded upon hearing this and said, "Good! You're so public-spirited. Little one, you truly have his shadow in you!"

Upon hearing this, the tiger demon also developed a great appreciation for Yun Chonghua.

He had previously thought that Yun Chonghua was nothing more than a snobbish opportunist who rose to power through cunning and flattery. He believed that Yun Chonghua's mission to exorcise demons was merely a means to gain fame and return to the Heavenly Realm for important positions as soon as possible.

He never expected that Yun Chonghua was genuinely protecting the people.

However, the tiger demon still said, "Boy, the White Tiger God is right. You'd better leave quickly. Although your cultivation is shallow, your fortune is abundant. You can still leave now and go back to your Dragon Palace to be a good dragon god, enjoying endless wealth and glory. Why throw your life away here for someone else's sake?"

Yun Chonghua stood still, halberd in hand, and said, "Whether we're going to lose our lives or not, we'll only know after we've fought."

"How arrogant! If that's the case, then I'll grant your wish!" With that, the tiger demon attacked Yun Chonghua directly.

The five ghouls controlled by the tiger demon also conjured weapons, and the five beauties, like swirling clouds, scattered and rushed forward.

The White Tiger God also lowered his body and instantly transformed into the same white tiger with golden spots.

With a fierce pounce, he charged towards the tiger demon.

Yun Chonghua brandished his halberd and engaged the five attacking ghouls in battle.

While locked in combat with the tiger demon, the White Tiger God said, "Little girl, go easy on them. Although those five vengeful spirits have been greatly strengthened by his magic, they are still just ordinary souls. If you go all out, you'll utterly destroy these five poor girls!"

Currently, these five vengeful spirits are entangled with him, and although Yun Chonghua can easily parry them with his martial arts skills, he dares not use his full strength, just as the White Tiger God Lord had said.

If it were any other prodigy, Yun Chonghua would have already unleashed the power of thunder on his halberd. Thunder is specifically designed to subdue spirits; once the power of thunder is unleashed, any ghost or monster will vanish into thin air.

However, these five vengeful spirits are not evil people; they are merely imprisoned and controlled by magic. Even Yun Chonghua, who usually prefers action to words, is hesitant to act rashly.

While skillfully parrying with his halberd, Yun Chonghua said, "I know that. But with those few around, I'm afraid even if the two of us were skilled, we wouldn't be able to use our abilities. If I were to use that Samadhi Divine Wind, I'm afraid it would blow their souls away. And the magic weapon that Sister Baihe gave me can only capture people, not ghosts. It seems we'll have to perform a ritual to release them from suffering first!"

The White Tiger God and the tiger demon were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle, exchanging blows in both magic and martial arts. Although both kept the fight within the bounds of innocent bystanders, the skill level of the contest was equally impressive.

The tiger demon said, "White Tiger! If you are willing to return with me, I will not make things difficult for that boy. As for these poor ghosts, I will also dispel the spell so that they can rest in peace and be blessed."

The White Tiger God said, "Old man! Don't be so smug. There are many powerful beings in heaven and earth besides you. Are the three of you a united front? Now you're using other people's bodies to cast spells against us. I'm afraid you can't unleash much of your true strength. I don't know who will win or lose."

"Those few pathetic ghosts are just getting in the way. Otherwise, why would I bother with a puppet like you! Besides, you set up the Divine Firmament Five Thunders barrier to seal off Wushan, probably hoping to monopolize the spoils of finding me. Too bad I won't fall for your tricks!"

The tiger demon said, "Heh! White Tiger God, you've already died once, yet you're still as arrogant as ever!"

Just as the tiger demon and the White Tiger God were locked in battle, Yun Chonghua, who was fighting the five vengeful spirits, shouted, "Open!"

The next moment, a giant wheel of merit appeared behind Yun Chonghua, and a dazzling Buddhist light instantly illuminated the entire Wushan Mountain.

The five controlled demons were instantly released from their control under the Buddha's light. Even the tiger demon was momentarily stunned by the sudden burst of light.

Seeing this, the tiger demon said, "Heh! Using one puppet to control another. That's really troublesome. But I didn't expect you to have cultivated this Buddhist power to such a degree! Although my current strength is only a drop in the ocean, you were able to break my spell with Buddhist light. You're really not bad! If you hadn't truly performed good deeds, you wouldn't have been able to unleash such power from this relic."

However, the tiger demon ultimately said disdainfully, "With such opportunities and strength, yet content to be a lackey. What a pity!"

Upon hearing the tiger demon's words, the White Tiger Goddess transformed back into human form and laughed, "Hahaha, wouldn't it be a waste not to stand with you, old man, and be your lackey?"

The White Tiger God said to Yun Chonghua, "Boy! We're so grateful to have you here this time. I can sense that there are four talismans in the four corners of this mountain. Go and remove them all, and the old man's barrier will break. Then these little girls will be able to leave this place and be reincarnated."

"Want to leave? Not so easy!" The tiger demon was about to step forward and stop Yun Chonghua.

The White Tiger Goddess suddenly pounced, and the flower crown she wore flew straight towards the tiger demon, binding him.

The White Tiger God pounced on the tiger demon at his feet and pinned him down with his enormous tiger claws.

The White Tiger God laughed, "Old man, if you want to capture me next time, you'd better come yourself. Using such underhanded tricks is still a bit lacking!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Chonghua did not delay. He immediately used the power of the Kunlin Treasure Robe and flew towards the surrounding areas of Wushan.

Although his perception was not as good as that of the White Tiger God, he still sensed the power left behind by the four talismans when he got close.

As he stepped forward to tear off the talisman, he was struck by a powerful bolt of lightning.

However, although the lightning strike was powerful, it only affected others. The dragon-headed seven-star crown on Yun Chonghua's head lit up with its dragon eyes, and the incoming lightning was immediately neutralized by the crown.

Sensing that the spell had been broken, the tiger demon said, "Heh! This kid is just as troublesome as Yuanlong when he puts on that armor."

The White Tiger God laughed, "Heh heh. Old man, you planned everything, but you didn't expect him to be here. Your Divine Firmament Five Thunder runes are fatal to a spirit like me, but he has his armor that protects him from the Three Calamities. This little trick won't work on him."

Before long, Yun Chonghua broke all four talismans, and he returned at an extremely fast speed.

The White Tiger God stood up and transformed back into human form.

She looked up at Yun Chonghua in the sky and said, "Little one, you did well!"

After praising Yun Chonghua, he looked at the tiger demon and said, "So, you old thing? Are you going to continue fighting us here, letting everyone in heaven and on earth know I'm here, or would you rather get back to heaven as soon as possible?"
