Chapter 128: The Awakening of Bald Tang
Sha Wujing caught it and smoothly tossed it into the big pot to steam!
Realizing he was no match, Hengxing Demon King stared with his crimson eyes and bellowed,
"Sun Wukong, I want to you you you you..."
With a wave of his hand, Sun Wukong interrupted, "No need to say more, I get it! You want to fight to the death, don't you? I didn't expect you to be such a tough demon. I respect you as a real man and will grant you a swift end!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Wukong's staff came crashing down!
With a bang, Hengxing Demon King's head was smashed, plummeting towards the ground.
It was at this moment that he finally finished his sentence, "I surrender..."
Bang!
Hengxing Demon King hit the ground, creating a huge crater, and even in death, his eyes did not close in peace, his mouth still cursing, "You lack martial virtue, you beast..."
He had only wanted to surrender, so why didn't that monkey let him finish his sentence, hmm?
...
"Master, your punch just now was a bit too fierce, so many seafood, and you've reduced them to just this one."
Dragging Hengxing Demon King back, Sun Wukong complained from a distance.
However, Tang Sanzang replied unhappily, "Who told them to call me bald... I can live without seafood, but I will absolutely not tolerate being called bald! That's the last of my stubbornness after going bald!"
Sun Wukong: "@#¥...%"
The pot began to boil, and the front crab claws were ready to eat.
The Six-Eared Macaque tried to pry open the crab shell with his handy iron rod, only to be tossed aside by everyone.
"Don't use that thing that poked the dog... Wukong, use yours!" Tang Sanzang said.
The Six-Eared Macaque sullenly squatted there, drawing circles, regretting he should've never used it to poke the dog!
Sun Wukong immediately got to work and cracked open the crab shell in no time. Tang Sanzang pounced forward, clutching the white, translucent crab meat, taking a bite, and instantly his eyes closed in delight...
Meanwhile, although the Six-Eared Macaque was very unhappy, he couldn't resist the temptation of the delicious food and decided to plunge in and join the seafood feast.
The disciples were no ordinary people and had enormous appetites.

Even the super-sized crab that was Hengxing Demon King was swiftly devoured to the last bite by them.
Then these guys, while picking their teeth, still uttered with longing, "The taste is not bad, but the size could be a bit bigger."
"Ah, Wukong..." Tang Sanzang suddenly spoke up.
Sun Wukong said, "Master, your command?"
Tang Sanzang, quite reflective, said, "I've come to think, perhaps what you said makes some sense... Had I known, I would have lightened that punch a bit. Turning him to dust was such a waste..."
Sun Wukong nodded incessantly and said, "Master, thinking of these things shows that your intellectual realm has reached new heights. I think, those demons who dare to call you 'that', are mostly some aged and confident beings. Such demons, it's a pity to eliminate them. They are old and excellent meat! It's alright to kill them, but we should keep their physical body, shouldn't we? Why not just dehair, skin, debone, and suck out the marrow?"
Sha Wujing said, "Master, in my opinion, we could use the blood to make blood tofu, blood sausages, blood cakes, and so on...
We have various cooking methods for the meat, no matter how we cook it - frying, stir-frying, braising, deep-frying - it will be delicious.
As for the bones, we can make soup with them, sauce the big bones; sucking on the marrow is delightful.
And the innards, even better.
The older the demon, the more they would consume the spiritual energy of nature and the essence of the sun and moon. Their organs would have no impurities.
Even if they occasionally ate flesh and blood, at their level of strength, any meat entering their body would instantly decompose into nature's spiritual energy, and any impurities would be turned invisible by their demonic power.
Let me put it this way, in my eyes, every piece of meat, every drop of blood, every part of a demon's body is a treasure!
There isn't a single part to waste."
For the first time, Tang Sanzang nodded in complete agreement like a primary school student being taught, "I have wasted in the past, rest assured, next time we encounter demons, I will try hard to control my anger and leave their corpses intact."
Clap clap clap clap!
The scene erupted in applause, especially Zhu Ganglie, whose hands were red from clapping, his face alight with excitement.
No wonder he was happy, as they had actually encountered many demons along the way; even a lesser demon king would have tens of thousands underlings, from which one could easily select several with exceptionally fine meat of good quality. With these demons, they'd have enough to eat all the way to Mount Ling. Tang Sanzang would no longer have to worry every day about the little meat on his own body...
Before, he did not dare to speak out, but now that Tang Sanzang had seen the light, he was naturally overjoyed.
Just as they were speaking, they suddenly heard the sound of war drums thundering in the distance, and a massive cloud of demons rolled in, darkening the skies like a tempest.
The terrifying pressure that came with them forced all beasts to submit, demons to shrink back, cultivators to seclude themselves, birds to silence, and insects to hush.
In an instant, the world was filled with an aura of sternness and dead silence.
Upon witnessing this scene, members of the group to the west moved to tears, thinking it couldn't have come at a better damn time!
In the distance, the demon army was full of battle-ready demons.
Especially the five leading Demon Kings, who were incomparably excited.
Although they, along with the Buffalo Demon King and Sun Wukong, were known as the Seven Great Saints of the Demon Race, only they themselves knew they were still lacking a battle to prove their true worth.
"My fellows, the entire demon kind thinks we don't deserve the title of the Seven Great Saints, but after this battle, no one will dare to underestimate us anymore," the Dragon Demon King said, lifting his head proudly.
The Peng Demon King nodded and said, "When Sun Wukong fought his way to heaven, we did not join in, and have been mocked for being unrighteous for many years.
Ridiculous, they don't know anything!"
The Macaque King chuckled and added, "Of course, they know nothing. The one with the most right to speak here is surely the Gibbon King, right? Little brother?"
The Gibbon King's face was somewhat gloomy as he clenched his fists and said, "I should have listened to my brothers back then and not helped that unrighteous monkey! Damn it, when he was being suppressed, I fought desperately to help him with my brothers, and what did he do? He attended the Peach Banquet, enjoying the peaches and Jadescent Nectar that he only shared with his monkey and offspring.
I tolerated that.
When the Four Heavenly Kings attacked the Fruit and Flower Mountain, I fought for him again.
In the end, everyone was captured, yet he only saved his own monkeys, without caring for our life and death!
If it weren't for my brothers' quick action to save me, I'd probably have been executed on that demon-slaying stage by now!
Laughable...
Instead of praising me for my righteousness, people laughed at me for overestimating my capabilities in meddling with the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's battles.
This time..."
The Gibbon King didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood his meaning.
He wasn't here for the bald monk; he was here to duel Sun Wukong, to prove himself!
Seeing the mood dip, the Dragon Demon King quickly laughed and changed the subject, "Alright, let's not talk about the past. Everyone will take what they need when the time comes, but don't take it lightly; they say that bald monk is not to be underestimated."
The Mount-Removing Sage, the Lion-Camel King, chuckled and said, "My fellows, you're not really planning to fight to the death with that baldie, are you?"
