Chapter 343: with translation of chapter title

"Second brother, don't be anxious; I know my elder brother's strength—he can still hold on for a while."

"Let us wait a moment longer; if our elder brother truly faces danger, we will intervene then."

Kong Jin gave a slight smile, his expression revealing a hint of cunning and confidence.

Upon hearing this, the White Elephant felt lingering worry, yet he also knew Kong Jin was always resourceful and strategic, his judgments usually spot‑on.

Thus, he could only suppress his anxiety and continue to watch closely for any movement on the battlefield.

At this point, the battle between the Azure Lion and Sun Wukong had entered a white‑hot stage.

Although the Azure Lion was at a disadvantage, he stubbornly resisted, swinging his blade with all his might each time.

Though Sun Wukong's attacks were ferociously fierce, the Azure Lion, relying on a desperate fighting style, managed to barely hold on.

The White Elephant watched, his anxiety growing ever stronger.

"Hmph, you two good‑for‑nothings, do you really think joining forces can stand against me?"

Sun Wukong seized the opportunity and smashed his staff heavily into the Azure Lion's chest.

At this moment the Azure Lion was drenched in sweat, panting, yet his eyes still bore the majesty of a lion king.

He must act cautiously, ensuring his actions achieve maximum effect.

Finally, after another fierce clash, the Azure Lion revealed an opening.

Gripped in his hand was a pair of steel whips named "Mountain‑Splitting, Stone‑Shattering Whip," their bodies flashing with cold light, showing tremendous power.

Seeing the White Elephant charge down like a ferocious tiger, he resolved, struck out with a fierce blade to push Sun Wukong back, then turned and stood shoulder‑to‑shoulder with the White Elephant.

The White Elephant rode a snow‑white warhorse, sturdy and strong, its eyes flashing with unyielding light; this horse was named "Treading Snow, Flying Frost."

At the same moment he flashed his form and rushed onto the battlefield.

He brandished the steel whip, spurred his horse forward, and charged straight at Sun Wukong, who was battling the Azure Lion.

"Elder brother, we are brothers; naturally we should face the strong foe together."

Kong Jin, meanwhile, remained calm and rational, his gaze wandering across the battlefield as if seeking the best moment to strike.

"Mongrel, cease your arrogance!"

The White Elephant replied heroically.

"Elder brother, be careful!"

Seeing that this strike was about to land, the White Elephant could no longer suppress his worry and anxiety, and he let out a loud shout.

The White Elephant shouted in anger, urged his horse, and swung the whip at Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong looked at the two demon kings standing side by side before him, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

The Azure Lion's face showed a solemn expression, panting as he spoke.

"Second brother, you have finally arrived."

As the White Elephant charged onto the battlefield, a burst of white‑gray energy surged from his body, like mountain mist—mysterious yet full of power.

The whip in his hand moved like a lively snake, agile and sharp, bringing a fierce gust straight toward Sun Wukong.

The Azure Lion closely followed, brandishing his Azure Lion Swallowing Heaven Blade, forming a combined assault with the White Elephant, aiming to encircle Sun Wukong.

Their attacks came like a violent storm, relentless, leaving Sun Wukong momentarily unable to find a breach.

Yet Sun Wukong was no ordinary foe; his body was nimble, like a monkey leaping and darting across the battlefield, skillfully evading the two attackers.

At the same time, his Golden Cudgel countered without yielding, each strike precisely hitting the opponent's openings.

The battle among the three grew ever fiercer, energy surging in all directions, light radiating everywhere.

The White Elephant's "Mountain‑Splitting, Stone‑Shattering Whip" moved in an impenetrable, awe‑inspiring manner, while the Azure Lion's Azure Lion Swallowing Heaven Blade was matchlessly fierce, its cold light flashing.

"Clang clang clang!"

The three combatants' weapons clashed violently in the air, producing a deafening metallic impact.

The white‑gray energy intertwined with the golden‑yellow energy, as if seeking to devour the entire battlefield.

Ding! White Elephant skill Iron Body activated!

Iron Body: body like iron, frame like steel; when the White Elephant moves, heaven and earth shake—this is White Elephant's exclusive skill.

Effect One: Body as hard as iron, immovable like a mountain, immune to half of negative skill effects (round up).

Each attack made the air tremble, each defense made the ground quiver.

As time passed, the battle among the three entered its most critical moment.

Ding! Because the White Elephant joined, Sun Wukong is currently in his second battle, triggering the Battle God skill Effect Three!

Martial force increased by another +2, Sun Wukong's current martial force rises to 138!

Simultaneously, it fixes a 3‑point suppression on the enemy's total martial force.

Current Qin Lion martial force drops to 129!

Current White Elephant martial force drops to 124!

Ding! Due to Qin Shi receiving a negative effect, the Azure Lion Effect skill is triggered, attack power +1, current attack power rises to 130!

Ding! Bai Xiang's Iron Body skill activates again! Bai Xiang's current attack power rises to 128!

Bai Xiang and Qing Shi are incredibly brave, but they already show signs of fatigue, while Sun Wukong remains full of vigor and high fighting spirit.

The key to this battle lies in depleting the opponent's stamina and will.

Sun Wukong does not rush for success, but instead steadily engages the two.

Finally, after a fierce exchange, Sun Wukong seized an opening in Bai Xiang's defense and smashed his staff heavily onto his steel whip.

Bai Xiang only felt his arm go numb, and his steel whip almost flew from his grasp.

This made him secretly astonished; the power of this damn dog is actually so great!

However, Bai Xiang did not retreat because of this; he gritted his teeth, gripped his steel whip tightly, and launched a fierce attack at Sun Wukong again.

Qing Shi also followed closely, wielding the Azure Lion Swallowing Heaven Blade and slashing at Sun Wukong's back.

The two coordinated seamlessly, their offensive like a tide.

Facing the two's encirclement, Sun Wukong remained calm and resourceful.

In a flash of movement, he dodged Qing Shi's attack while swinging his staff at Bai Xiang's chest.

Bai Xiang hastily dodged sideways, but his shoulder was still grazed by the Golden Hooped Staff, instantly feeling a sharp pain.

Afterwards, Sun Wukong backhandedly smashed his staff heavily at the point where the two intersected.
