It's no wonder he was so pleased with himself.
Who made Sun Wukong torture him, yet accidentally gave him a glimmer of hope. Unfortunately, the leader of the Saber Wolf Sect was still within the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
It seemed I was lucky, surviving a great disaster!
In the sea of fire, the barbarian-faced man was extremely delighted, "Monkey, if you now kneel down and admit your mistake, perhaps I might let you live a few more days!"
"Hahahaha..."
Another burst of proud laughter, but while laughing, the barbarian-faced man suddenly realized something was wrong.
In mid-air, the leader of the Saber Wolf Sect had a solemn expression, staring straight at another mountain peak, holding his fiery halberd in front of him in a defensive stance.
This...
What exactly was happening?
The barbarian-faced man's eyes widened, by this time the flames around him had already become unbearable, burning his clothes away.
An unbearable burning sensation assaulted him, and the barbarian-faced man felt the threat of death once again, writhing in pain, he roared, "Leader... Leader, it's me!"
No matter how he shouted, the leader of the Saber Wolf Sect still stared at that mountain, motionless.
"No!"
The barbarian-faced man roared unwillingly, wriggling on the charcoals like maggots, and once again let out a desperate scream, "Leader... Save..."
"Shut up!"
Finally losing patience, the leader of the Saber Wolf Sect turned his head and roared, and at that moment, a column of water sprayed from the mountain directly onto him.
Pfft...
The liquid wasn't ordinary, it not only extinguished the fiery clouds beneath the feet of the Saber Wolf Sect leader but also drenched his fiery halberd, emitting green smoke and no longer able to ignite.
There was still a great demon left!
Not until then did the barbarian-faced man realize, ultimately despairing, his eyes dazed as Sun Wukong's detestable monkey face suddenly loomed closer.
With a cold smile, "How is it, isn't it ironic? It seems my luck is somewhat better than yours!"
"You..."
The barbarian-faced man glared, only to see a streak of crimson flame flying towards him, released by the leader of the Saber Wolf Sect who had dodged the second water column.
"For..."
The barbarian-faced man questioned unwillingly, but was instantly burnt to death by the crimson flame, turning into a charred corpse.
"A liability more than an asset!" said the leader of the Saber Wolf Sect coldly in midair, his fiery halberd once again flaring with crimson flames, hurling a ball towards Sun Wukong, "You might as well go down and keep him company!"
And you all!
After attacking Sun Wukong, the leader of the Saber Wolf Sect shifted his gaze towards the crevice in the ground, the fiery halberd bursting with flames, ready to condense another fireball.
Pfft~
The distance shot another column of water, it was the action of the great demon.
Sun Wukong's movement was also quick, pointing out mid-air, directly casting the Paralyze Spell.
"Freeze!"
The rune burst out, paralyzing the leader of the Saber Wolf Sect instantly, though it was only for a brief moment, it still created a perfect attack opportunity for the hidden great demon.
The water column shot fiercely, seeming sparse and ordinary in energy speed, yet it struck the Saber Wolf Sect leader's chest in the blink of an eye, even piercing through his demonic body.
"Puff~"
The leader of the Saber Wolf Sect spat blood, his momentum weakening substantially.
"Saber Wolf, I bet you never thought this day would come!"
Only then did the great demon in hiding finally show itself.
With a turtle body and horse hooves, born with eight heads, apart from the bare fangs on its neck, the rest held the visage of an angry Buddha, inherently bursting with majesty.
The gaze of the Saber Wolf leader was chilly, but he didn't fear this multi-headed monster, swinging his halberd, "Multi-head, must we really fight?"
The multi-headed demon was timid and fearful, a fact well known to the Saber Wolf leader. Even if they truly fought, he wasn't afraid, being already grievously wounded and versed in the path of resistance, who would win in a fight to the death wasn't certain.
Gu Kuang and a minor demon of Human Immortal standing were also present; if they ended up reaping the rewards, that really would be a big joke for the Demon Clan.
"I won't stop you, just leave on your own!"
As expected, the multi-headed demon had no intention of fighting to the death, voluntarily clearing a path, indeed intending to let the Saber Wolf leader leave.
What a pity!
After a brief glance at Sun Wukong and the other apes, the leader of the Saber Wolf Sect sighed silently and finally rode the fire clouds away from the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
It was only after the aura of the Saber Wolf Sect leader had faded away that the multi-headed turtle withdrew its gaze, and then turned to Sun Wukong, saying, "Many demon clans populate the mountains, each controlling their own area. If your ape clan wishes to thrive and reproduce, you must only walk forward to the western area of the mountain range, which is the ideal place."
Wary for no apparent reason, Sun Wukong courteously declined, "The elder misunderstands, the ape clan merely wishes to traverse the mountain range to reach another place and has no plans to settle."
"No... No!" the multi-headed turtle shook its head, seeming peaceful yet insisting, "The outside world is even more dangerous. If you wander aimlessly, you might just lose your lives as soon as you leave the mountain range. It's not proper... not proper!"
Such a strong no, it clearly didn't plan to let the troop of apes leave, harboring ill intentions.
But as the demon was stronger, and the troop of apes was grievously injured, they really couldn't withstand any more hardships.
Looking at the troop of burned and scarred apes, Sun Wukong helplessly bowed his head and said, "Then... we are in your debt, elder!"
"Great kindness!"
The multi-headed turtle nodded, finally squeezing out a slight smile, and then used divine skills to summon black clouds, bringing rain to extinguish the wildfire in the mountains.
"Whew~"
"We're saved!"
"Woo woo... We're saved!"
"Woo woo woo woo..."
In the heavy rain, the troop of apes hugged each other and wept, truly feeling the relief of surviving a calamity.
Only, they were unaware that, nearby, the multi-headed turtle's mouth curled into a smile, its eyes deep, twinkling with all kinds of crafty glints.
Alas~
They could only take things one step at a time!
Sun Wukong sighed inwardly, walked over to the white ape, looking at its burned hide, and said, "You've really suffered!"
Shaking his head slightly, the white ape earnestly replied, "I promised I'd protect them!"
All was said without words.
Looking at the remaining thirty-six monkeys, each one sincere, their eyes filled with boundless admiration when looking at him, Sun Wukong felt gratified, feeling that all his previous efforts were worthwhile.
"Hmm!"
Clearing his throat, Sun Wukong faced the many gazing eyes and said, "Hold on a little longer, everyone. The elder will lead us to a new territory soon, and once we get there, we will be safe."
Safe?
That, of course, was not possible. Heaven knows what schemes the multi-headed turtle was plotting, but being significantly weaker, he could only tell a lie to put them at ease for a while.
Worried inside, yet his expression unchanged, Sun Wukong watched the cheering troop of apes and also showed a slight smile.
The white ape, however, could not smile, only giving a smile uglier than crying when he saw Sun Wukong shake his head.
Sun Wukong immediately couldn't help but laugh and said, "Never mind, you better not smile!"
Never mind, never mind, just take it one step at a time.
Deal with trouble as it comes, whatever plots or tricks, since resistance was futile, they might as well experience it.
Considering this, Sun Wukong respectfully bowed to the multi-headed turtle, saying, "As newcomers, we are grateful for your guidance, elder!"
Whatever the motive, they currently needed its guidance and protection.
"Hehe, sure, sure!"
The multi-headed turtle readily agreed, even as its seven Buddha heads hooked up smiles that, with their blue faces, looked more like grinning demons, frightening several monkeys.
This was somewhat rude, yet the multi-headed turtle didn't mind, instead stretching out a claw and beckoning, "Hehe! Don't be scared, come let me take a look at you!"
"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!"
As the seven Buddha heads spoke, five of the monkeys became even more frightened.
Sun Wukong also looked uneasy, reaching his hand to his ears.
But the multi-headed turtle, careless as ever, still said with a laugh, "What's there to be afraid of, I'm not going to eat you!"
While saying this, it emitted a puff of demonic energy from its mouth, instantly enveloping five monkeys and bringing them directly in front of it.
Whew~
The white ape's body tensed again, while Sun Wukong immediately drew his iron staff!
The battle was on the verge of breaking out!
