Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao-Chapter 465 - 238: Calling Out

At this moment, Lu Yu seemed to realize why the Human Sages had made such a choice—the existence of these powerful Immortal Gods had gradually become a stumbling block to the prosperity of the human race.

"Humph! Since that's the case, I, Lao Shun, might as well pretend I don't know and just kill them off," the Monkey said with a flash of light in his eyes.

In fact, Lu Yu knew very well that the Monkey was not born of the human race, had little identification with them, and certainly wouldn't seek revenge for those who had perished in Lion Camel City just for them. It was merely because Lu Yu's intent to kill was decided, and he spoke thus only to lend a hand to Lu Yu.

However, for Lu Yu, being a Human Sage, it was natural to seek justice for those unjustly dead of his race.

"If that's the case, let's make a great ruckus!" the Monkey said excitedly, unable to suppress his combative heart any longer. Along the way, most of the demons and ghosts they encountered had profound backgrounds, which had caused him to be restricted in his actions time and again, and a nameless anger had long been simmering in his heart.

Now that Lu Yu took action for the great cause of the human race, naturally there were Human Sages to endorse him. As everyone in the Three Realms knew his relationship with Lu Yu, there was nothing anyone could say about him acting now, and he was eager to stir up trouble.

Seeing the excited Monkey, Lu Yu knew that this Monkey had been waiting for this day too long. At first, the Monkey was arrogant and unaware of the vastness of the world, which led him to wreak Havoc in Heaven and establish his formidable reputation.

But as his realm advanced and his knowledge increased, he became more aware of his weakness. He had to start suppressing his temperament and changing his ways. Throughout this journey to the west, he had encountered demons with powerful backers and had been forced to suppress his deep-seated urge to kill, letting those backers pull strings to take them away.

He was the proud Great Sage Equalling Heaven, after all. When had he been treated like a dog? His proud flames burned continually within him, about to consume him. The real and fake Monkey King was his first outburst.

"Alright, then let's make a good ruckus," Lu Yu said, smiling.

He also planned to use this opportunity to rid the Monkey of his Heart Demon. Now that Mount Ling was not far off, persisting flaws in his spirit could waste this heaven-sent chance.

"Scholar, you hide in the shadows for now. Don't rush to make a move; let me measure their strength first," the Monkey said intently, his eyes burning with a fighting spirit almost tangible.

"Okay, if you want to, then go ahead. I'll make my move at the end," Lu Yu nodded and agreed.

"Then watch closely!" the Monkey said, laughing as he leaped towards the cave entrance to shout his challenge.

Green Lion and Bai Xiang were still drinking in the cave when they heard the cursing outside. Frowning, Bai Xiang asked, "What's happening outside?"

A demon quickly came forward to report. "Reporting to both Great Kings, there's a monk with a face like Thunder Lord at the gate making a challenge, saying he wants…" The little demon did not continue.

"Wants what? Speak up, what's with the hesitation?" Green Lion glared at the reporting demon, his eyes already showing impatience.

"He said for the two Great Kings to come out quickly and meet their deaths, that considering the difficulty of cultivation, he would offer the honor of intact corpses."

As soon as the little demon finished speaking, Green Lion and Bai Xiang stood up abruptly, roaring in anger, "How dare you, Protector of the Horse! This is too much of an insult. Arm me with my armor! I must split this ignorant Monkey into two!"

Green Lion and Bai Xiang, unable to contain their anger, suited up in their armor, weapons in hand, and charged out of their cave with an imposing air.

Upon exiting the main gate, they saw the chaotic demons and roared, "Where has that damn stinky monkey gone?"

The lesser demons, recognizing their Great King, quickly shut their mouths. After all, it was well known that the mood of the several kings had been foul lately. No one wanted to provoke a brooding lord, and suddenly the area in front of the cave fell silent.

"Demons, your Grandpa Sun is right here!" At that moment, a brash voice came from above. The Monkey was standing on top of a mountain, holding the Jingu Bang, ready to strike.

Upon seeing the Monkey, Green Lion pointed playfully with his treasured sword and asked, "Who could it be? Turns out it's you, Protector of the Horse. Have you lost your job and come to ask this Great King to let you tend horses?"

Being called Protector of the Horse was what the Monkey hated most in life, a stain he could never wash away. Now, hearing Green Lion mention it again, he felt even more enraged.

"Demon, don't run away, take this hit from me." The Monkey leaped high, the Jingu Bang in his hand radiating light, and struck directly at Green Lion's head.

"Hey! The Monkey is desperate. Watch me take care of this monkey properly," Green Lion said to Bai Xiang beside him with a chuckle.

With those words, he held his treasured sword high to meet the challenge, catching the Monkey's Golden Hoop. The two weapons met in mid-air, producing a loud, ringing sound that echoed through the skies, sending a massive wave of wind around them, stirring up sand and raising dust.

Countless thick trees were blown over by the windstorm, and the weaker demons around clutched desperately at the trees, screaming in terror.

Green Lion's expression shifted slightly. He had believed the Monkey's title of Great Sage Equalling Heaven was merely for show, but this clash revealed that the Monkey's strength far exceeded his expectations.

The force transmitted through his steel sword felt like a mountain, forcing him to exert all his strength just to hold his ground. The relaxed look on his face was now replaced by intense seriousness.

However, the Monkey, seizing the advantage, swung the Jingu Bang in a relentless attack, each move faster and stronger than the last, forcing Green Lion to keep retreating.

After enduring this furious assault, Green Lion's hands began to tremble uncontrollably. He glanced at the Monkey, still full of fighting spirit nearby, and a sliver of doubt crept into his heart. He was considered a prodigy in his race, or else such a heavy responsibility would never have fallen to him, but just emerging from the mountains, he had been defeated repeatedly by Lu Yu, shaking his confidence completely, and now facing the Monkey, he felt immense pressure.

These events led the Demon King to start questioning his life, feeling as though his reputation as a prodigy was merely a joke.

"Good!" The Monkey, increasingly fierce in battle, let out a shout and continued his attack with the Jingu Bang.

All Green Lion could do was endure the trembling of his hands, fully focused on parrying the Monkey's assaults. What he did not realize was that deep down, his desire for victory had vanished, replaced by a feeling of being tied down.

This was the manifestation of a complete loss of confidence after successive setbacks.
