Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#2137 - Something doesn't feel right

Hearing the sounds of fighting coming from behind the Demon camp, Chu Hao and the Centipede of a Hundred Poisons knew that the Western Heavens had been successfully lured into the trap.

“Everyone, stop.”

Both sides simultaneously issued orders, halting the impending clash between the Heavenly Court army and the main force of the Demons.

“Lord Prison God's plan is brilliant! The Western Heavens have arrived! We must go and deal with them!”

Guanyin was also confused. Clearly, the plan had been going smoothly, so why had this happened?

“Perhaps the Demons have all gone to the front to fight the Heavenly Court's forces. If we continue to charge forward, we can still cut off their retreat!”

Guanyin said, forcing an explanation to the crowd.

However, just as she finished speaking, the Demon army appeared, their formation neat and orderly.

“Evil creatures of the Western Heavens, you speak of righteousness, but all you do is treacherous and evil deeds, acting like petty thieves.

Charge forward and kill all those bald donkeys from the Western Heavens!”

With a command, the Demon army charged over, instantly engaging in battle with the Western Heaven's Buddha army.

“What’s going on? The Demons don’t seem to be restrained by the Heavenly Court at all.”

“Moreover, the Demons seem to have been prepared. We don’t have any advantage at all.”

After one exchange, the situation was very clear. The Demons were well-prepared, and the Western Heaven's sneak attack had no effect.

“Impossible… It’s too late to say anything now. Since the battle has already begun, retreating will only be more disadvantageous.

Now we can only fight! Even if the Demons are prepared, our strength is still comparable. The outcome is still uncertain.”

Guanyin gritted her teeth and ordered the Western Heaven's forces. They had already charged into the Demon camp, and it was too late to retreat.

“Guanyin, you treacherous villain! Today, I will make sure you don’t return!”

The Centipede of a Hundred Poisons stepped forward and challenged Guanyin.

“Evil Demon, how dare you be so arrogant in front of us!”

Guanyin knew that her plan had failed and was somewhat ashamed and angry, engaging in battle with the Centipede of a Hundred Poisons.

Manjusri and Samantabhadra also once again faced the Heaven-Supporting Giant Crab and the Nine-Headed Spirit Insect.

With the duel of the peak forces of both sides, the full-scale battle between the Demons and the Western Heavens began, and both sides launched a life-and-death charge.

Outside the Demon camp, Chu Hao and his subordinate generals were watching this duel between the Western Heavens and the Demons.

“Looks like they’re fighting fiercely. Should we join in?”

“Compared to the Demons, the Western Heavens are even more hateful.”

“The Western Heavens are playing tricks and schemes. We should give them a taste of their own medicine.”

Chu Hao had already explained the Western Heaven's secret instigation to everyone. The generals and soldiers of the Heavenly Court naturally hated the Western Heaven's insidious methods with a passion.

They all requested Chu Hao to join the battle, believing that only by killing the Buddhas of the Western Heavens could they eliminate their resentment.

“No, the Demons and the Western Heavens are fighting fiercely. There is no need for us to waste our energy. We can just clean up the mess later.

Furthermore, there cannot be a direct conflict between the Heavenly Court and the Western Heavens, otherwise it will easily trigger chaos in the Three Realms.”

Chu Hao shook his head at his subordinates.

A direct conflict between the Heavenly Court and the Western Heavens was something that both sides understood, otherwise it would not be beneficial to either side.

Even if Guanyin played tricks and sneak attacked the Heavenly Court, she disguised herself as a Demon, which did not count as a direct frontal conflict.

Therefore, Chu Hao could not allow his subordinates to violate the taboo, but the revenge for the sneak attack could not go unpunished. This was Chu Hao's principle.

In fact, compared to the Demons, Chu Hao was even more disgusted with the Western Heavens. At least the Demons chose to negotiate and discuss matters openly, but the Western Heavens were accustomed to playing tricks and schemes.

The strength of the Western Heavens and the Demons was indeed comparable. Although both sides were fighting fiercely, neither side showed any signs of defeat.

Both sides had been fighting for nearly half an hour, with many casualties, but neither side showed any intention of retreating, clearly treating this duel as a decisive battle.

However, as the fighting continued, both the Western Heavens and the Demons were somewhat exhausted, and the morale of both sides gradually waned.

“It’s time. Select a group of elites and kill them.”

Chu Hao decided, instructing his subordinate generals.

“Do we kill the Western Heavens or the Demons?”

Someone asked Chu Hao, because Chu Hao only said to kill them, but did not say which side to help or which side to deal with.

“Kill them all! But you can’t go directly, you need to transform. As for how to kill, you can decide for yourselves!”

Chu Hao instructed the generals.

“Understood.”

Chu Hao’s meaning was already very clear, that is, both sides were targets to be dealt with.

Moreover, they could not join the battlefield as Heavenly Court soldiers and generals, but needed to transform into Demons or Western Heaven Buddhas.

That way, no matter which side they attacked, the other side would not be able to make a specific distinction, because the battlefield was already extremely chaotic.

The dozens of generals under Chu Hao, plus the thousands of elite soldiers and generals selected, transformed into Demons or Western Heaven Buddhas.

No matter which side they transformed into, as long as their own people could recognize them, with a special mark, it would be enough.

These thousands of people began to secretly join the battlefield in batches, making the already chaotic battlefield even more chaotic.

Originally, the duel between the Western Heavens and the Demons was about to come to an end, but with the addition of this new force, the fighting became even more intense.

Not only that, but according to Chu Hao's instructions, the soldiers and generals who joined the battlefield would attack anyone they encountered, whether it was the Western Heavens or the Demons.

A very strange scene appeared on the battlefield. There were Buddhas fighting Demon soldiers, Buddhas fighting Buddhas, and Demon soldiers fighting each other.

In any case, it was as chaotic as possible, to the point that the personnel of both the Western Heavens and the Demons were somewhat unable to distinguish who was on their side.

“I feel like something is wrong.”

Guanyin looked at the melee below. The battlefield was really too chaotic.

“What exactly is going on?”

The Centipede of a Hundred Poisons and the others also felt that the situation was somewhat out of control.

However, in such a chaotic situation, they could not figure out what the problem was.
