The Tang army and the Tianzhu army were fiercely engaged in battle; Sun Wukong observed from above, and would strike down any formidable figures within the Tianzhu ranks with his staff. With Sun Wukong's assistance, and since the Tang army outnumbered the Tianzhu army threefold, the Tianzhu army naturally found themselves outmatched, with soldiers losing the will to fight.
The defenders within Peacock City also didn't dare to venture out, fearing that the Tang army would seize the opportunity to break through the city gates.
Sun Wukong was beginning to find the battle dull when he heard the rumble of thunder and looked up to see a figure descending from the clouds.
