Chapter 166 Six Defeats of the Water Ape Great Sage, Baizhang’s True Form

But Jiang Yuan and Bull Demon King went to the Huai River again at dawn the next day.

Jiang Yuan stood outside the Huai River, pointed at the water, and said, “Bull King, go and challenge the Water Ape Great Sage.”

The Bull Demon King asked, “Master, if the Water Ape Great Sage hides in the water and does not come out, what should we do?”

Jiang Yuan said with a smile: “If he refuses to come out, then I have my own way to beat him out. Don’t worry, just challenge him.”

The Bull Demon King nodded deeply, then took the iron stick to the edge of the Huai River and struck the water with it, creating waves, looking very majestic.

The Bull Demon King shouted, “The Great Water Ape Sage, show yourself at once, or I will attack your water palace!”

Say it.

The Bull Demon King waited outside the river for a while, and seeing that there was still no movement in the river, he struck again with his stick, causing the Huai River to surge.

Before long, teams of sailors jumped out of the Huai River and lined up in front. The Water Ape Great Sage walked out, swinging his fine iron spear.

The Bull Demon King took a closer look and saw that there were about a hundred sailors. He asked, “What are you doing? Why are you recruiting soldiers?”

The Great Water Ape Sage laughed and said, “I mobilized the troops so that the sailors in the palace could see my majesty in defeating the Immortal.”

The Bull Demon King said: “You don’t know the destiny! If it weren’t for the mercy of the real person, I would have killed you long ago.”

The Great Water Ape Sage pointed at the Bull Demon King and said, “You, the defeated general, please retreat immediately and stop making a noise here.”

Just as the Bull Demon King was about to say something, Jiang Yuan came down, and the Bull King had to step back a little.

The Immortal looked at the Great Sage of the Water Ape, picked up his whisk, and said, “Great Sage of the Water Ape, have you eaten and drunk enough today?”

The Water Ape Great Sage rolled his eyes and said, “I am full and satisfied, but it occurred to me that what you did yesterday must have been an evil trick. If I fight you today, you must not use such tricks again.”

Jiang Yuan smiled and asked, “What is the evil way you are talking about?”

The Aquatic Monkey Great Sage replied, “It is the one that freezes the body, the one that causes the fire, and the one that causes the sleeves.”

Jiang Yuan said: “If I don’t use these three magical powers, will you teach me how to capture him and then I will be convinced?”

The Ahuizotl Great Sage said, “That’s natural.”

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, “In that case, you can attack me first. I won’t use these three magical powers.”

Upon hearing this, the Water Ape Great Sage was overjoyed and looked down on Jiang Yuan, so he charged towards him with his spear.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yuan took out the Seven-Star Sword on his back and pointed the tip of the sword to the south. Then he saw real fire coming out, with red flames filling the sky and wheels of fire flying, rushing towards the Water Ape Great Sage, burning the Water Ape Great Sage so much that he roared wildly and rolled on the ground.

The Water Ape Great Sage finally put out the fire, and then he saw Jiang Yuan pointing the Seven Star Sword to the north. Real water came again and hit the Water Ape Great Sage, causing him great pain.

“Stop fighting, stop fighting!”

The Great Sage of the Water Ape bared his teeth, how could he dare to fight again.

Jiang Yuan collected the Seven Star Sword and said with a smile, “Are you convinced?”

The Great Water Ape pointed at Jiang Yuan and said, “I don’t accept it! You are fighting me with a treasure, but you are not a hero. If you don’t use that sword to fight me again, then I will accept it!”

Jiang Yuan said: “My treasure cannot be used, but your iron spear can be used?”

The Water Ape Great Sage said, “If you don’t use that precious sword to defeat me, I will be convinced.”

Jiang Yuan asked: “Really?”

The Aquatic Ape Great Sage patted his chest and said, “It’s true.”

Jiang Yuan said: “In this case, I will not use the Seven Star Sword to fight with you.”

The Water Ape Great Sage was overjoyed when he heard this and said, “Are you serious? If so, I will attack again.”

Jiang Yuan said: “Come and attack now.”

When the Water Ape King heard this, he was ready to attack again. He raised his spear, but before he could strike, he suddenly changed his mind and thought that this immortal was so powerful that it would be difficult to win if he fought him with common sense. He had to use a surprise move to defeat this immortal.

An idea suddenly came to his mind. If so, he would use his supernatural powers to defeat this immortal.

The Great Water Ape Sage said, “Master, look at my magical power!”

Say it.

The Great Sage Water Ape used his special powers to communicate with the captured land and mountain gods in the Water Palace and ordered them to come out from the mountains.

All the land and mountain gods obeyed, and in a moment, a dozen mountains were sent into the air, crushing the real person.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan just raised his hand. No matter how many mountains there were, they could not shake his body. He smiled and said, “I thought you had some magical power, but I didn’t expect you were a fake. Let me show you my magical power of sending mountains.”

The Immortal chanted a spell and sent Mount Emei into the sky to press down on the Water Ape Great Sage.

The Water Ape King was so frightened that he was sweating and saliva was flowing all over his body. He was about to escape, but unexpectedly, Mount Emei pressed him down. He was a water-born person, so how could he carry a mountain and be crushed by Mount Emei?

When the sailors of the Huaihe River Water Force saw this, they were horrified. Some ran, some trembled, some hid, and they were in a panic. How could anyone be sincere enough to come and save the lord?

The Great Ape Sage cursed, “How dare you run away? When I am free, I will not let you go.”

In the midst of the curses, Jiang Yuan approached and asked, “Are you convinced?”

The Aquatic Monkey Great Sage raised his head and said, “I don’t accept it!”

The Bull Demon King shuffled forward, pointed at the Water Ape Great Sage, and said, “How can you be so shameless? You have defeated my master four times in a row, using different methods each time. Now you have crushed my master with a mountain, and yet you still refuse to accept it?”

The Water Ape Great Sage said, “I was careless for a moment, and I didn’t sleep well yesterday, so I was crushed by the mountain and defeated. I don’t accept it!”

The Bull Demon King cursed: “I have never seen a demon like you!”

The Great Ape Sage said, “How dare you, a defeated general, speak like this?”

Jiang Yuan stopped the two from cursing at each other and stepped forward and said, “Since you are not convinced, tell me, how can you be convinced?”

The Great Ape Sage said, “If you let me eat and drink my fill, and then let me sleep until I am satisfied, then I will fight you again. Only then will I be convinced.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan left Mount Emei with a flick of his sleeves and released the Water Ape Great Sage. He said, “In that case, you can go now. When you have had enough sleep tomorrow, come out and fight me again.”

When the Water Ape King heard this, he was about to go down to the Huai River.

Jiang Yuan stopped him and said, “Great Sage of the Ape, I hope you will think carefully. I have let you go twice and defeated you four times. Don’t mess around anymore. If you lose again, I will show no mercy. Then you will no longer be able to accept or not accept it.”

The Water Ape King was a little frightened. After listening to Jiang Yuan’s words and letting him go, he fled into the water.

The Bull Demon King stepped forward and said, “Master, this Water Ape Sage is a little rude.”

Jiang Yuan said: “Give him another day. If he still behaves like this, there is no need to show mercy.”

……

Speaking of the Huaihe River, the Great Water Ape Sage fled back here, and was terrified, panting, and shouting: “Great ability, great ability! This real person really has great magical powers.”

Prime Minister Turtle came over and asked, “My king, what’s going on?”

The Great Sage of the Water Ape recounted the previous events and described the real person’s magical powers one by one.

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Turtle said, “According to what Your Majesty said, that Immortal is very powerful and Your Majesty will never be able to defeat Him. Even if Your Majesty used a spell to make the land gods and mountain gods in the Water Palace send down mountains, they would still be unable to defeat that Immortal. Instead, that Immortal used his true magical power to send down mountains to crush Your Majesty.”

The Water Ape Great Sage said, “I know that the real person has great magical powers, but if I am asked to admit defeat like this, I will not be willing to do so.”

Prime Minister Turtle said: “Your Majesty, that Immortal is kind-hearted and has defeated you four times. Your Majesty should know your destiny.”

The Great Water Ape said, “Don’t say that. I will show my true strength tomorrow and fight him. Putting aside these matters, have any of the sailors who fled returned?”

Prime Minister Turtle shook his head and said, “No one has escaped back. They all fled outside.” The Water Ape Great Sage was very angry and said, “They are really afraid of death. When they saw me crushing the mountains, they fled in all directions.”

Prime Minister Turtle said: “Your Majesty, they know the weather. If Your Majesty cannot stop them, how can they stop them? If they return to the palace and Your Majesty blames them, they will also die. So they can only flee.”

Upon hearing this, the Water Ape Great Sage fell into deep thought and said no more.

……

In the forest outside the Huai River, the white deer carried Zuo Liang here and met up with Jiang Yuan and his group.

Zuo Liang walked in front of the fire and bowed, “Sir, have you accomplished your mission?”

Jiang Yuan shook his head and said, “It has never been accomplished.”

Zuo Liang was surprised and asked, “That water monster is so powerful? How can a true immortal like you, Master Jiao, not capture it?”

The Bull Demon King said, “How can you say such a thing? I can subdue the water monkey in one blow, but I want him to be convinced and guard the water veins before I let him go.”

Zuo Liang heard this and bowed, saying, “I never thought it was like this. It’s just that I don’t know the reason and I’m talking nonsense.”

Jiang Yuan shook his head and said, “No problem.”

The Bull Demon King swayed his body and said, “Master, I am so familiar with Old Zuo, why don’t we use the transformation technique? If I show my true form, he won’t be afraid. Using the transformation technique like this will make me feel a little uncomfortable.”

Jiang Yuan said: “Just ask him. If he is willing, you can show your true form.”

The Bull Demon King grabbed Zuo Liang and said, “Old Zuo, if I show my true form, will you be scared?”

Zuo Liang said, “Master Niu, I am so familiar with you, how could I be scared? You are not your true body now, so what does your true body look like?”

The Bull Demon King laughed and said, “My true form is a little ugly, I’m afraid you’ll be scared.”

Zuo Liang said, “Master Niu, I have been through a lot in my life and have seen many ugly people. How could I be scared?”

The Bull Demon King laughed and said, “Good brother, I feel relieved when you say that. Now let me see my true form.”

Say it.

The Bull Demon King suddenly transformed and revealed his true form. He had a pair of horns on his head and his appearance had some spiritual qualities, but he still looked like a demon with a bloody mouth and murderous eyes.

When Zuo Liang saw this, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground, his body swaying, and he said in panic, “Niu, Master Niu.”

The Bull Demon King yelled, “You bastard, didn’t you say you wouldn’t be scared? Why are you like this?”

Zuo Liang said tremblingly: “I didn’t know Master Niu’s true appearance. Now I see him, and I am somewhat impressed by his majesty.”

The Bull Demon King laughed and said, “I know I am very powerful.”

Jiang Yuan hit him with a ruler and said, “You bull, why are you showing off? I don’t think I’m scared by you.”

The Bull Demon King sat down and apologized to the Immortal, then he said, “You, old man Zuo, are of little use. Although I am a little ugly, I am kind-hearted. I am ugly on the outside but beautiful on the inside. How can you only look at the outside and not the inside? You are trying to scare me.”

Zuo Liang said in panic, “I have never seen a monster or a strange thing before. I just saw one now and I couldn’t control my temper for a moment, so I got scared. Don’t blame me, Master Niu.”

The Bull Demon King said: “Don’t be alarmed. Keep your mind calm and avoid being alarmed or angry. I have heard the master teach that ‘the mind should always be calm’.”

Zuo Liang waved his hand in response.

They rested in the woods and remained silent all night. When it was dawn, Jiang Yuan ordered the white deer to carry Zuo Liang away to avoid disaster.

Jiang Yuan waited for the white deer to leave, and then said to the Bull Demon King, “Niu’er, go and call out the Water Ape Great Sage.”

The Bull Demon King swung up his iron rod and was about to go forward, but suddenly stopped and said, “Master, if we go to call the Water Ape Great Sage now, what should we do if he fails again and says he didn’t get enough sleep? It would be better to wait until the sun is high before calling him.”

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, “It’s up to you.”

The two men walked to the bank of the Huai River and waited for the time. When the sun was high in the sky, the Bull Demon King came forward to challenge them.

This time there was no need for the Bull Demon King to swing his iron stick. The Water Ape Great Sage immediately jumped out of the river, swinging his fine iron spear.

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, “Great Sage of the Ape, do you not need soldiers to help you this time?”

The Great Ape Sage said, “Of course I don’t need any beard!”

Jiang Yuan asked: “Did you eat and drink enough and get enough sleep today?”

The Great Water Ape said, “I have everything I need. I will definitely fight you to the death today.”

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, “I know what you are thinking. I will definitely not use my hidden powers, Samadhi True Fire, Immobilization Technique, or Seven Star Sword to make you convinced.”

The Great Ape Sage said: “Please teach me, sir! See what I can do!”

Jiang Yuan said: “Whatever skills you have, just show them.”

The Ahuizotl Great Sage shouted, “Look at my magical power!”

Say it.

The Water Ape Great Sage stepped onto the clouds and chanted a spell. The water of the Huai River rushed out as if assisted by a god and turned into water for his use. The Water Ape stirred up a storm and used the power of the Huai River to deal with Jiang Yuan.

I saw the water of the Huai River rushing towards the real person’s body, surging and surging, flooding over the mountain tops like the sea, and breaking through the stone walls like a vast ocean. It was really a great skill.

When the Immortal saw this, he ordered Jin Gong to use his magical powers to come. Even though the water was as vast as the sea, it could not get close to the Immortal’s body.

Seeing the water flowing around him, Jiang Yuan was afraid that the water would damage the nearby fields, so he took the Yu Ding and threw it upwards.

When the water of Huaihe River saw Yu Ding, it flowed back. How dare it act rashly? When Water Ape Great Sage saw Yu Ding coming, he took out his spear to block. With a clang, the Water Ape Great Sage fell from the clouds, his fine iron spear broke into pieces, his hands were weak and his muscles were numb. How could he have the strength to fight again?

The Water Ape King was terrified when he saw that the Immortal had suppressed the water of the Huai River in just a few moves.

Jiang Yuan accepted the Yu Ding and said, “Great Sage of the Ape, are you convinced?”

The Aquatic Ape Great Sage asked timidly, “What kind of treasure is that?”

Jiang Yuan said: “It is Yu Ding.”

The Great Sage of the Ape asked, “But are these the Nine Cauldrons cast by King Yu?”

Jiang Yuan said: “That’s right.”

The Great Water Ape Sage felt timid and said, “This is the Nine Cauldrons of King Yu. If I lose to this, I will not accept it.”

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, “What will it take for you to accept this?”

The Water Ape Great Sage said, “If you don’t use Yu Ding to defeat me, I will surrender!”

Jiang Yuan said: “In this case, I will not use Yu Ding.”

The Water Ape King stood up, held up his broken spear and was ready to fight again.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuan took out the ruler and just hit the Water Ape Great Sage once, and he was beaten away and defeated again.

The Aquatic Ape Great Sage suffered six defeats and was unwilling to accept the defeat. He said, “I do not accept the defeat!”

The Bull Demon King stepped forward and cursed, “You are such a fool, you really don’t know your destiny. The real person has been defeated by you six times, why are you still not convinced?”

The Great Ape Sage shouted, “If you can defeat me in this skill, I will sincerely surrender! Let’s see what I can do.”

Say it.

The Water Ape Great Sage revealed his true form, which was a thousand feet tall.
