All four of them possessed some magical abilities and had some grudges against Yang Jian. Seeing that Yang Jian was not taking action, they were eager to step forward and wipe out the demons of Jilei Mountain below, so as to save face for Yang Jian.
The four generals stepped forward. Mo Lihai roared, took out his pipa, and began to play it with both hands. A series of pipa strings were heard, followed by the appearance of wind and fire, which rushed towards the demons of Jilei Mountain.
The Flood Dragon King chuckled, pointed at Mo Lihai, and said, "I know your name contains the character 'Hai' (sea), but I don't know how much you actually relate to it. Let me test you." With that, he laughed loudly, waved his hands, and suddenly a sea of water appeared in the air, striking Mo Lihai and obliterating the Pipa Wind and Fire in the process.
Seeing the fierce current, Mo Lihai dared not catch it. Mo Lihong quickly took out the Hunyuan Umbrella and tossed it into the air, sucking the seawater in. The Jiao Demon King glanced at it but paid no attention. The Lion Demon King, however, roared angrily, "You gang up on us! You are no good!" With that, the Lion Demon King made a gesture with his hands, then grabbed, shouting, "Rise!" He appeared as if embracing a giant, his hands supporting the sky, slowly facing the four Demon Generals, and shouted, "Fall!"
As the four demon generals were still wondering what was happening, they suddenly felt a fierce wind rushing from above. Looking up, they were horrified to see a massive mountain crashing down on them. Terrified, they realized they couldn't dodge in time. They simultaneously dropped their weapons and raised their hands above their heads to try and stop the falling mountain. But this mountain was no easy feat. Back when the Lion Demon King was with the Jie Sect, he had learned the "Mountain-Moving and Sea-Overturning" supernatural power. Although it couldn't compare to the Long-Armed Ape's signature move, it was still formidable. A single mountain could weigh hundreds of thousands of kilograms. Even before the four demon generals were listed on the list, they couldn't withstand it. Now, with their physical bodies gone and their cultivation less than half of what it used to be, how could they possibly withstand such a mountain?
Seeing that the four demon generals were no match for him, Li Jing said to the six monsters of Meishan, "You should go and help the Four Heavenly Kings." The six monsters of Meishan dared not disobey Li Jing's orders and took action to remove the mountain that the Lion Demon King had moved. With the danger to the four demon generals gone, they quickly got up and retreated to their camp, no longer daring to be arrogant.
Li Jing frowned, surveyed the Heavenly Court's ranks, and shouted, "Is there any other minister willing to take action to eliminate these demons?"
No one answered. What a joke! This Heavenly Court camp, seemingly numbering 500,000 soldiers, might appear numerous and powerful, but divine powers and techniques cannot be built up by sheer numbers. These soldiers were merely recruits from the human race that Haotian had gathered over the years; their cultivation was pitifully low, at most at the Nascent Soul stage of human cultivators (I won't go into the details of these human cultivation classifications, as most people are familiar with them). They were utterly insignificant, unlike the ancient demon race's Heavenly Court era, where even a lowly soldier possessed the cultivation of an Earth Immortal. (In the classification of cultivation, human cultivators, after transcending tribulation, are at the Earth Immortal level; only through further cultivation can they reach the Heavenly Immortal level. This Heavenly Immortal realm is the starting point for cultivators to explore the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao.)
Seeing that no one in the Heavenly Court's camp was willing to fight, Li Jing was even more annoyed. However, he was not stupid and understood that the difference in strength could not be overcome by anger. Seeing that this expedition had become a joke, Li Jing was unwilling to accept it.
Despite his resentment, there was no point in staying. Li Jing turned to the Bull Demon King and the others below and said, "You demons, you defy the Heavenly Court's control and will inevitably suffer calamity sooner or later. Your time has not yet come, so I will not entangle you for now. When your fate is exhausted, it will be useless for you to beg for mercy." After saying this, he turned and left. Seeing that the marshal had left, the heavenly soldiers immediately retreated.
Another series of rumbling sounds came from the sky, and in an instant, the 500,000 heavenly soldiers and generals were all gone.
The demons who had gathered at Mount Jilei had expected a great battle, but to their surprise, a few demon kings simply showed off their heavenly soldiers and then left without a trace. They immediately shouted, "Great Sage, Great Sage! Great Sage, Great Sage!" For a moment, the demons on Mount Jilei were jubilant and the place was bustling with excitement.
The heavenly soldiers had retreated, and the demons had returned to their true nature. The Bull Demon King led the demon kings into the cave to continue the previous banquet. Previously, the group of demons had been somewhat skeptical that this gathering was just a joke, but this great victory over the Heavenly Court had won them over, and they sincerely formed an alliance.
