Chapter 170: Three Heads and Six Arms Showing Divine Power

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King looked at the Tiger Spirit Cave and immediately issued an order: “Five Thunder Marshals Deng, Xin, Liu, Bi, and Pang, please lead your Heavenly Generals to set up a magic net outside the Tiger Spirit Cave. Once the monster comes out to fight, use the lightning net to block his way back to the cave.”

The five Thunder Marshals bowed and clasped their fists in response, then flew forward with their heavenly generals. They set up a magic net in the sky outside the Tiger Spirit Cave, and then each of them made a thunder gesture with their hands. With a flash of lightning on their bodies, their figures disappeared into the sky.

Then Tota Heavenly King said to the Giant Spirit God: “Giant Spirit God, go and challenge him.”

The giant spirit sang a greeting, then flew to the front of the Tiger Spirit Cave with a drum and a golden hammer in his hand.

The giant spirit was huge, and stood in front of the cave entrance, his head higher than the cave entrance. He lowered his head and shouted, “Listen, monsters inside. I am the giant spirit of the Thunder Department of the Heavenly Court. Come out to see me quickly.”

After saying that, the giant spirit raised the Lei Gu Weng Golden Hammer with both hands and smashed it towards the cave door with a “bang”.

“Boom!” The Leiguweng Jinchui hit the cave with divine light. There was a loud noise like thunder, and then a layer of faint mysterious light quickly lit up outside the cave.

However, it was that faint layer of mysterious light that caused the Leiguweng Jinchui to fly away as soon as it appeared. At the same time, a huge recoil force surged, and the giant spirit’s feet “dong dong dong” took a few steps back. Then, his huge body became unstable and fell directly backwards to the ground.

The ground shook violently, raising a cloud of dust. Sun Wukong looked at the fallen giant spirit and said with a smile, “How is it? I told you long ago that even I can’t break the barrier outside the cave.”

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King frowned, and Nezha’s face darkened and he said, “Useless Giant Spirit God.”

Sun Wukong laughed and said, “Third Prince, it’s too early for you to say that. You can’t break the barrier.”

Nezha said: “Why should I break the barrier? As long as I capture the monster, what does it matter whether the barrier is broken or not?”

Sun Wukong said: “If you can capture that monster, I will owe you a big favor.”

Nezha rolled his eyes and said, “Okay, I’ll definitely do you a favor.”

As he was speaking, the stone gate of the Tiger Spirit Cave in front slowly opened, and the giant spirit had also stood up at this time. He looked around and found that his Leiguwu Jinchui had flown to the top of a mountain more than a hundred miles away. The originally triangular mountain was smashed into a trapezoid by his Leiguwu Jinchui.

The giant spirit chanted a spell, and the golden hammer immediately turned into a divine light and flew back. The giant spirit grabbed it and then looked down.

Tiger Vanguard walked out of the Tiger Spirit Cave and looked up to see a giant standing outside the cave holding a divine hammer. Tiger Vanguard looked slightly surprised and asked, “Why are you standing so high?”

“Oh, is it high?” The giant spirit was stunned for a moment, then took a step back, bent his legs and squatted down, “Is this okay?”

This time he squatted not so high, but it was also level with the entrance of Tiger Spirit Cave. Nezha behind him stroked his forehead and said, “This fool.”

Tiger Vanguard nodded and said, “Okay, this way my neck won’t get tired when I talk to you, thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” The giant spirit squatted on the ground and replied, then held the Lei Gu Weng Jin Chui in his right hand above the tiger vanguard’s head and asked, “Are you the Tiger Spirit King?”

Tiger Vanguard said: “I am the Tiger Spirit King.”

“Oh oh.” The giant spirit said, “Then quickly release Tang Seng.”

“No.” Tiger Vanguard said, “Are you the Giant Spirit?”

The giant spirit nodded and said, “Yes, I am the giant spirit. I am here to challenge you on the orders of the Heavenly King Li. If you don’t let Tang Monk go, I will capture you.”

Tiger Vanguard laughed and said, “Did that Monkey King invite you here?”

The giant spirit said, “It’s not a monkey, it’s the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. Little monster, don’t be rude!”

When Sun Wukong, who was standing behind him, heard this, he said with emotion: “This giant spirit is so honest and kind, he is really lovable. From now on, I will protect him.”

Nezha said: “This is my subordinate, why are you protecting him?”

Sun Wukong patted Nezha on the shoulder and said with a smile: “I am the Great Sage Equaling Heaven appointed by the Jade Emperor. What? Are you dissatisfied?”

Nezha rolled his eyes, but he really couldn’t refute it. The Monkey King’s official rank was first-class, just below the ‘super-class’, which was much higher than his.

As they were talking, the Giant Spirit and the Tiger Vanguard had already started fighting. It seemed that the two sides failed to reach an agreement.

Once the fight started, the giant spirit was not so honest anymore. He would stand up and swing the giant hammer in his hand hard, making the ground rumble.

The giant hammer smashed the feet, and the divine power was surging. The mighty power was overwhelming. The hammer was deadly wherever it smashed, and the big feet were ruthless wherever they stepped.

But Tiger Vanguard, holding the Heavenly Sin Sword, was also merciless in his moves, colliding violently with the Lei Gu Weng Jin Hammer, sparks flying, and powerful force gushing out.

For a moment, the entire Zi Luo Mountain was shaking and trembling, rocks were rolling, mud was flowing, and birds and beasts were frightened.

It was such a fierce battle. Sun Wukong watched and suddenly asked, “What is the physical realm of the Giant Spirit?”

Nezha also watched carefully, and said after hearing this: “He is at the realm of ‘Immortal True Jade Body’, but he has cultivated a unique physical body, named ‘Xuanli Wushen’.”

Sun Wukong nodded. The realms of the physical body are divided into: mortal body, immortal jade body, diamond indestructible, and infinite golden body.

He himself belongs to the realm of ‘Vajra Indestructible’ and has a unique physical body, called ‘Innate Indestructible Body’, while the giant spirit’s is ‘Immortal Jade Body·Xuanli Martial God’.

After listening to this, Sun Wukong said: “No wonder he is so powerful, the Tiger Spirit King has an indestructible body.”

“Oh?!” Nezha finally showed a hint of surprise on his face when he heard this. You know, the realm of his physical body is only the ‘Immortal Jade Body’, but it is also a unique physical body, called the ‘Nine-phase Lotus Body’.

“He is a monster, but he can cultivate an indestructible body and have so many magical powers. He must either have a powerful backer or a great opportunity.” Nezha said with certainty.

At this moment, Nezha’s eyes suddenly lit up, because the Tiger Vanguard leaped up and chopped the Leiguweng Golden Hammer with a knife. The huge force immediately shocked the giant spirit and made it retreat repeatedly.

Nezha took advantage of the situation to see the big knife in Tiger Vanguard’s hand and said hurriedly: “I know, that is the Heavenly Evil Knife. Could this monster be the Tiger Vanguard from Lingtai Zhenjun Mansion?!”

Sun Wukong was so shocked that he deliberately did not mention the matter when reporting to the Jade Emperor, for fear of implicating Zhuang Yan.

Unexpectedly, Nezha saw through it at this moment, and the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King beside him immediately asked: “My son, are you sure?”

Nezha said with a confident look: “You are not mistaken, that is the Heavenly Sin Sword. When we conquered the Great Black Yaksha, it was the True Lord Lingtai who used his magic power to collect this sword.”

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King said, “It turns out that it was Lingtai Zhenjun’s subordinates who came down to the mortal world as a demon. This matter should be reported to the Jade Emperor as soon as possible.”

Sun Wukong said quickly: “That’s not certain. What if a demon stole the Heavenly Blade? Or even if it was Lingtai Zhenjun’s subordinate, Lingtai Zhenjun might not know about it.” Nezha said: “You underestimate Lingtai Zhenjun. He is very powerful. How could he not know about his subordinates who came down to the world as demons? He didn’t condone it on purpose, did he?”

Sun Wukong said: “No, I just visited Lingtai Zhenjun not long ago, he is in seclusion.”

Nezha nodded. At this time, a loud shout came from the front. Everyone looked up and saw that after Tiger Vanguard and Giant Spirit God had fought for more than a hundred rounds, Giant Spirit God finally showed a disadvantage and had the giant hammer chopped off by Tiger Vanguard.

The giant spirit was about to use the Xuanhua axe in a hurry, but before he could do so, he was subdued by the ‘Scare the Group of Spirits’ spell cast by Tiger Vanguard, and then knocked over by the back of the axe.

The Giant Spirit God was defeated, and Tiger Vanguard immediately laughed out loud, “The Heavenly Court God General is no more than this, hahahaha.”

The giant spirit was injured and retreated from the battle. He came back and bowed to the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King with a face full of shame, saying, “Marshal, I am incompetent and was defeated by this monster. Please punish me, Marshal.”

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King waved his hand and said, “You have done your best. Go back and heal your wounds.”

“Yes, thank you, Marshal.” The giant spirit clasped his fists and accepted the order, then retreated to the back to begin recovering from his injuries.

Seeing the Tiger Vanguard being so arrogant, Nezha immediately shouted, “Little tiger demon, stop being so arrogant. Grandpa Nezha is here to take you away.”

Seeing Nezha, who was dressed in a fiery red robe and looked majestic and handsome, approaching him, Tiger Vanguard immediately asked, “Are you the Third Prince Nezha, the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas, who cut off his flesh to return to his mother and cut off his bones to return to his father, and was later saved by the Tathagata Buddha, but only wanted to kill but not save?”

Nezha said: “Since you know my name, why don’t you surrender quickly, release Tang Sanzang, and go back with me to face the punishment?!”

“Hahaha.” Tiger Vanguard, holding the Heavenly Blade, said to Nezha, “You are so arrogant despite your small stature. I am not even afraid of the Monkey King, so why would I be afraid of a little Nezha like you?! Just use whatever skills you have. I will beat you to death in 300 rounds.”

“How shameless.” Nezha shouted, and then a golden light flashed on his body, and a body with three heads and six arms appeared in an instant.

Seeing this, Tiger Vanguard did not dare to delay and first used a spell called “Scare the Group of Spirits”. However, although this spell was useful against the giant spirit, it had no effect at all in front of Nezha.

Nezha has three heads and six arms, a magnificent appearance, he steps on the clouds and holds six magical treasures to subdue demons and monsters, and rushes straight towards Tiger Vanguard.

Seeing that the method of shocking the spirits had no effect on the Three-Headed, Six-Armed Nezha, Tiger Vanguard immediately used the “Shocking Roar” again. Invisible sound waves hit Nezha’s image, but it still had no effect and could not even stop Nezha from moving forward.

Tiger Vanguard was stunned for a moment. This was the first time that Jingshenpao failed. During this moment of stunnedness, Nezha had already arrived in front of him.

In an instant, the fire wheel released real fire, burning Tiger Vanguard’s hair and flesh to a crisp, crisp sound. The demon-killing sword hit his head with a crisp sound, and the demon-subduing pestle hit his chest, knocking Tiger Vanguard back again and again.

The demon-binding rope tied up Tiger Vanguard, and the ball hit Tiger Vanguard in the face. For a while, Tiger Vanguard was beaten back by Nezha and had no power to resist.

Seeing the Tiger Vanguard retreating at this moment, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King immediately waved the flag in his hand, and flashes of lightning flashed quickly in the sky, followed by roars of thunder. Then the five Thunder Marshals and a group of heavenly generals came down holding the magic net.

There was a loud thunderous sound, followed by flashes of lightning, and the magic net fell straight down, blocking all the retreat routes of Tiger Vanguard in all directions.

Tiger Vanguard had no power to resist Nezha’s fierce attack and soon retreated to the edge of the French net.

As soon as his body touched the net, lightning and thunder appeared in all directions, and then a “boom” of thunder struck the Tiger Vanguard to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Nezha immediately tightened the demon-binding rope and tied up Tiger Vanguard tightly. Then he placed the demon-subduing pestle on Tiger Vanguard’s back and pinned him to the ground.

Nezha lowered his head and said with a smile: “You fell down after just over thirty rounds?”

Tiger Vanguard spat out the dust in his mouth, then raised his head and asked, “Why is my magical power useless to you?”

Nezha asked: “What magical power?”

Tiger Vanguard said: “The roar of the gods, this method can shock the souls, even gods and Buddhas cannot avoid it.”

Nezha laughed loudly and said, “I am not an ordinary flesh and blood body, but a lotus root body. Naturally, I am not afraid of your terrifying roar.”

When Tiger Pioneer heard this, he immediately understood and said, “Okay, now I know.”

Nezha sneered, “So what if I knew? It’s too late now.”

“It’s not too late, not too late at all.” Hu Xianfeng said with a smile, and then silently recited the word “escape” in his heart. The next moment his body disappeared instantly, and he instantly broke free from the true fire, the demon-binding rope and all the power that Nezha had applied to him.

Nezha’s face changed drastically, and he looked up hurriedly, only to see the figure of Tiger Vanguard flying straight towards the Tiger Spirit Cave, but soon crashed into the ‘Dutch Net’ again.

There was lightning and thunder in the French Open for a moment, and then another thunderbolt knocked Tiger Vanguard back. The lightning entered his body and made Tiger Vanguard feel numb all over. Seeing this, Tiger Vanguard did not hesitate and silently said “escape” again. Then he flashed and got rid of the French Open and appeared at the entrance of Tiger Spirit Cave.

“Hum, Third Prince Nezha! His reputation is well-deserved. We’ll stop here today and fight again another day.” After Tiger Vanguard said this, he bowed towards Nezha, then turned around and went straight into the cave.

‘Boom’

As Tiger Vanguard entered the cave, the stone door fell down with a bang, instantly sealing the Tiger Spirit Cave tightly.

Nezha was very unwilling. How could he accept that all the credit for the success was lost to him?

Nezha just shouted, “Don’t run, monster.” Then he jumped up and chased after it, and smashed the six magic treasures directly towards the cave door.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Accompanied by six violent collision sounds that resounded throughout a thousand miles, the six magic weapons were instantly bounced back under the power of the mysterious light barrier, hitting Nezha and knocking him down from mid-air.

“Ouch, ouch.” Nezha let out a series of terrible screams in pain and his body fell directly from mid-air.

After collecting all the treasures, Nezha stood up and cursed at the Tiger Spirit Cave: “If I knew which bastard passed the escape method and the barrier method to this tiger demon, I would pull out his tendons and peel off his skin.”

After cursing, Nezha returned to the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King with a dusty face. Looking at the smiling Sun Wukong and the expressionless Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, he just bowed and said: “Father, the way that the monster escaped was very powerful.”

Before Nezha finished speaking, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King raised his hand and said, “My son, there is no need to say more. Your father sees it clearly and does not blame you.”

Nezha nodded and asked, “Father, what should we do now?”

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King thought for a moment and said, “This monster’s strength lies in its escape method and the barrier outside the cave. If we want to catch this monster, we must break its escape method. Let’s set up camp in the mountains first, and then slowly find a way to catch it.”

Upon hearing this, Nezha immediately bowed and said, “As you command.”

Afterwards, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King temporarily withdrew his soldiers and set up camp in the vast forest a hundred feet away from the Tiger Spirit Cave. He also sent his generals back to the Heavenly Palace to report what had happened to the Jade Emperor.
