Chapter 870: , dragging this monkey head back to the cave

Chapter 61o, taking this monkey head back to the cave.

Speaking of Sun Wukong and the two demons on Pingdingshan, they fought in the sky for several dozen rounds with no clear winner; Sun Wukong then used the Golden Hoop Rope he had taken from the demon to try to lasso the demon, but who would have thought the rope would not obey his commands—it failed to bind the demon and instead bound Sun Wukong himself.

Sun Wukong, bound by the demon's Golden Hoop Rope, was unable to move for a moment. Seeing that Sun Wukong was tangled in his own rope, the demon swung the Seven Star Sword in his hand, hacking and chopping wildly at Sun Wukong's body.

The demon laughed and said, "Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong, though everyone says you have great powers, I see your abilities are no more than this. You will die at my hands today—surely you never expected that, right? This is fate, fate!"

The demon's Seven Star Sword, when it struck, was poisonous and strong; it made golden light burst forth from Sun Wukong's head.

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "My child, you are so filial; I've been busy with work lately and have no money to spare. My scalp is itchy. Use the Seven Star Sword to scratch my itch—I feel great! Where in the world can you find such a good thing—scratching an itch without spending money? If you press harder, add some poison, let me feel even better."

The demon wielded the Seven Star Sword, hacking and chopping at Sun Wukong's head for a long time, until he was sweating profusely; all that could be seen was golden light flashing on Sun Wukong's head and sparks flying, yet Sun Wukong suffered no injury.

The demon laughed and said, "This monkey head, why is it so hard to deal with? I've expended so much effort that my hand is sore from chopping, yet I haven't even nicked a single hair on this monkey head. This is strange, a strange monkey. Could his head be made of gold and silver? Even if it were, my Seven Star Sword couldn't cut through it. I needn't waste more effort here. Better to take this monkey head back to the cave and figure it out slowly."

The demon then said to Sun Wukong, "Monkey head, your head is too solid—truly a rare golden noggin. My Seven Star Sword is useless. I will now take you back to the cave, place you together with your master, and steam and boil you in a basket. As long as you return my treasure, I will spare your life. How about that?"

Sun Wukong laughed gleefully and said, "Demon, speak plainly, let out your fart quickly. What treasure of yours have I taken? You beat me for half a day, then come to haggle? Do you think I, Sun Wukong, am an idiot? That you got a free beating? Is that so? I tell you, I'll deal with you later."

The demon said, "Don't be stubborn, monkey head! You are already bound by my Golden Hoop Rope and cannot move; I can do as I please with you. Quickly hand over the Golden Hoop Rope, and I'll let you off with a mere dog's life; otherwise your fate will be the same as that of your master and junior fellow disciples."

While speaking, the demon went to search Sun Wukong's treasures. As he searched, he laughed and said, "Don't pretend to be crazy and foolish, monkey head. You stole my Mountain-Guarding Treasure, the Jade Pure Bottle and the Red Gourd—hand them over quickly. Isn't that so? In the face of the facts, you still refuse to yield? Have you grown tired of living, monkey head?"

In the blink of an eye, the demon searched out the Jade Pure Bottle and the Red Gourd from Sun Wukong's person.

The second demon, delighted, held the Jade Pure Bottle and the Red Gourd, and happily said to the other demon, "Boss, the two treasures that the monkey head stole from the mountain have been found by me. Let's hurry and take this monkey head back to the cave to steam and boil him in a basket."

When the great demon heard that the second demon had found the Mountain-Guarding Treasure, he exclaimed proudly, "Sun Wukong, monkey head, everyone says you have the Seventy-Two Transformations—where have your abilities gone today? You have perfectly good things on your person, how could they be searched out?" Sun Wukong laughed and said, "My child, those things, I carry them on my person to go to your cave to eat Tang Sanzang's meat—it's inconvenient. Let the child hold them for now!"

The second demon laughed and said, "This monkey head is just stubborn; watch how I deal with him." The two demons echoed each other, feeling very pleased.

The second demon said to the little demons nearby, "You lot, quickly take this monkey head back to the cave..."
