Wukong and Yang Jian, along with the Twenty Heavens Dharma Protectors from the Buddhist sect, had come to blows in a great battle. Wukong and Yang Jian managed to injure many of the protectors. Eventually, the battle reached a deadlock with both sides almost even. Emperor Shi, not wishing to provoke the Heavenly Court and fearing the punishment of the Tathagata, should discord arise, led the protectors away in an effort to keep the peace.
Ox Demon King saw Emperor Shi and the others leaving and couldn't help but burst into loud laughter, "They've chickened out!"
Wukong, however, chuckled inwardly. You, Old Bull, have no powerful backing, and this time, there were many from the Heavenly Court. They feared making an enemy of Erlang Shen and then clashing with the Heavenly Court, making it difficult to bring the situation under control. However, the Old Bull's backing was not as small as Wukong had thought.
