Chapter 44 Absolute Confidence in a 5050 Match! Guanyin Bows Her Head in Compromise: Red Boy Can Cho
Lu Chen stood up from the paulownia leaf and surveyed the entire view of Mount Hao from his vantage point.
The rolling mountain ridges were tinged with dark red by the twilight, like a fiery dragon lying on the earth.
A wisp of smoke rose from the mountainside, pointing towards the direction of Fire Cloud Cave.
"First down."
Four people fell from the sky and landed on an open space at the eastern foot of Mount Hao.
"Which direction did Guanyin come from?" Sun Wukong asked.
"Northwest," Lu Chen pointed. "She started from the South China Sea, traveling in a straight line. At her speed, she should arrive before dawn tomorrow."
"So we arrived before her?" Nezha asked.
"We've arrived first."
Nezha chuckled and punched the palm of his hand.
"That's good! We'll get right to it when she gets here!"
"No rush." Lu Chen sat down on a rock. "Let's go see Red Boy first."
Princess Iron Fan panicked.
"Yes! I need to see my son first! I need to tell him..."
"Don't go yet."
Princess Iron Fan stopped in her tracks.
Lu Chen looked at Princess Iron Fan.
"If you go to see Red Boy now, he'll panic when he sees you like this. He won't know what happened, and if you rush in crying, his first reaction will be that something terrible has occurred. Children are prone to doing stupid things when they panic."
Princess Iron Fan opened her mouth.
She wanted to argue.
But she couldn't say it.
Because Lu Chen is right.
Red Boy, with his temper, would dare to set the entire mountain ablaze with Samadhi Fire if he saw his mother running towards him crying, without even asking what was going on.
"I'll go first." Lu Chen stood up. "You can come back after I've explained things to him."
"You don't know him..."
"I know him."
After saying that, Lu Chen headed up the mountain.
Princess Iron Fan stood there, stunned.
Does he know him?
How could a mere mortal like him know Red Boy?
Sun Wukong clicked his tongue beside him.
"Sister-in-law, please don't ask. With his mouth, there's no one in the Three Realms he doesn't know."
Princess Iron Fan watched Lu Chen's departing figure and clenched her banana leaf fan tightly.
"monkey."
"Um?"
"Do you really think he can save my son?"
Sun Wukong leaned against a tree, holding his golden cudgel across his shoulder.
I thought about it.
"Sister-in-law, Lao Sun has been fighting with him for more than half a year."
"Never won."
"But Lao Sun has never suffered a loss at his hands."
"He's a man of principle, and he knows how to act appropriately."
"If you say you can manage something, you definitely can."
Princess Iron Fan loosened her grip on the banana leaf fan slightly.
Just a little bit.
But that's enough.
Fire Cloud Cave.
Sure enough, there were two crooked pine trees at the entrance of the cave.
A flag was hanging on the tree on the left. The flag was torn by the wind, but the words on it were still legible.
"The Holy Infant King".
Several lesser demons patrolled back and forth at the cave entrance, carrying spears and short knives. Their equipment was crude, and they didn't look like elites at all.
As Lu Chen walked to the cave entrance, the few little demons immediately bristled.
"Who goes there?!"
"Looking for your king."
"Our king does not receive outsiders!"
"I'm not an outsider," Lu Chen smiled. "Tell him his mother's friend is here."
The little demons looked at each other in bewilderment.
One of the bolder ones ran in and reported it.
After a while, a wave of heat emanated from the cave.
A boy in red walked out of the cave.
He was short and stocky, with a handsome face and a hint of arrogance at the corners of his mouth that seemed out of place for his age.
He held a fire-tipped spear in his hand.
Red Boy.
A cultivator of the Samadhi True Fire for three hundred years, the most ferocious demon king within a hundred miles of Mount Hao.
Red Boy glanced at Lu Chen.
I scanned it thoroughly from top to bottom.
Who are you?
"Lu Chen".
"I don't know him."
"You should have heard of it."
"Never heard of you." Red Boy grinned. "You say you're my mother's friend? When has my mother ever had any mortal friends? You can't even beat the little demons under my command."
Lu Chen smiled.
"Would you like to give it a try?"
Red Boy raised his Fire-Tipped Spear by half an inch.
Samadhi Fire erupted from the tip of the spear, instantly causing the temperature to soar and the surrounding air to distort and deform.
"Let's give it a try."
"Don't."
A voice came from down the mountain.
The voice of Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong somersaulted up and landed between the two.
Red Boy's eyes lit up when he saw Sun Wukong.
"Are you the Monkey King?"
"Yes."
"My father mentioned you to me! You and my father are sworn brothers! So you are my..." Red Boy tilted his head and calculated the generational relationship.
"uncle."
"Yes." Sun Wukong nodded.
"Uncle Monkey!"
Sun Wukong's face twitched.
"Don't call me that. Just call me Great Sage."
"Okay, Uncle Monkey!"
"...Alright then."
Sun Wukong glanced back at Lu Chen, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Kid, let me tell you, you'd better not mess with this guy."
"He can't beat me. He's just a mortal," Red Boy said dismissively.
"Even Old Sun can't beat him."
Red Boy's expression froze.
The Monkey King couldn't defeat a mortal?
This doesn't match the description of him as a "fearless monkey" by his father, the Bull Demon King.
"Let's go inside and talk." Lu Chen patted Hong Hai'er on the shoulder. "There's something important that concerns you."
Red Boy hesitated for a moment, but in the end he still led the group into the Fire Cloud Cave.
It was very hot inside the cave.
There were traces of fire everywhere; the stone walls were charred black, and the animal hides on the ground were scalding hot.
Lu Chen explained the matter simply and clearly.
Guanyin Bodhisattva is coming to take you away.
I'll put five golden hoops around your neck.
Eradicate your demonic nature.
Turn you into an obedient servant.
You will never be able to come back.
I will never see your mother again.
After hearing this, Red Boy slammed the tip of his Fire-Tipped Spear into the ground.
"fart!"
"Who the hell dares to take me in!"
"I burned her with my Samadhi Fire!"
Lu Chen looked at the enraged young man.
"You can't burn her."
"Who said that!"
"I said it," Lu Chen said calmly. "Your Samadhi Fire is indeed powerful. But Guanyin has a willow branch and a vase; the nectar in the vase can extinguish all fires. Your fire is useless against her."
Red Boy's face turned red.
"Then I..."
"You can't beat her," Lu Chen said. "With your current cultivation level, you wouldn't last ten rounds against Guanyin."
Red Boy's lips trembled slightly.
This mortal is too direct.
He's so blatant that it makes you want to punch him.
But everything he said was true.
Although Red Boy was arrogant, he wasn't stupid. He knew his own level and the Bodhisattva's level. In a real fight, he was indeed no match for him.
"What should we do then!" Red Boy cried out in panic, stabbing the ground with his gun.
"You don't need to do it," Lu Chen said. "I'll take care of it."
"You?" Red Boy looked incredulous. "How can a mortal like you stop Guanyin?"
Lu Chen did not answer.
He stood up and walked to the cave entrance.
I looked up at the sky.
The east was already showing a hint of dawn.
It's almost dawn.
"She's almost there."
Lu Chen walked out of the Fire Cloud Cave.
Northeast of Haoshan.
A white light was rapidly approaching.
A figure in white robes could be vaguely seen in the white light, holding a willow branch and a vase, standing on a lotus flower, followed by two attendants.
Guanyin Bodhisattva.
She's here.
