On the second day, Golden Winged Great Peng held the Painted Pole Sky Halberd in his hand and stood upon the dark clouds in the sky, shouting at Sun Wukong, "Hey, you insolent monkey, today I shall take your head!"

Sun Wukong shook his head slightly, "I'm afraid you don't have the ability."

Greatly angered, Golden Winged Great Peng fought fiercely with him once again. Without the Wind Stabilizing Pill, but he was much smarter today, not waiting for Sun Wukong to wave the Palm Leaf Fan.

Every time the Palm Leaf Fan appeared, he would transform into a streak of light flying around Sun Wukong, making it difficult for him to decide where to fan.

However, this also meant that Golden Winged Great Peng did not gain any advantage, and the task of taking the head naturally came to nothing.

After sunset, Golden Winged Great Peng actively withdrew.

"Grandpa I am not in good form today, let's battle again tomorrow!"

He flew away, huffing and puffing.

Sun Wukong shook his head and turned back to Longevity Manor.

"Great King."

Mei Hu looked at him expectantly, "Did you drive him away?"

"No."

Sun Wukong said.

Mei Hu's face fell at once, "Why is that bird-man so troublesome!"

After speaking, she picked up a writing brush and began to draw on paper laid out on the table.

Sun Wukong noticed something peculiar about the drawing; it wasn't her self-portrait, so he couldn't help asking, "Why are you drawing him?"

"For revenge."

Mei Hu said, "I want Jade-faced Fox to turn his likeness into a statue and sell it all around Huaguo Mountain."

Sun Wukong could not help but laugh, Mei Hu really had the mindset of a child.

He sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to cultivate.

The next morning, Golden Winged Great Peng challenged once again, and Sun Wukong engaged in another day of competition with him.

That day, Golden Winged Great Peng learned psychological tactics, constantly using words to provoke Sun Wukong.

Unfortunately, Sun Wukong acted as if he had not heard at all, paying no attention whatsoever.

Golden Winged Great Peng returned fruitlessly again that day, full of frustration.

"How can this insolent monkey be so troublesome!"

Sitting in his cave, drinking wine, he lamented, "I can't beat him, he doesn't reply when scolded, just like a block of stone!"

"Great King."

The Lion Demon poured wine for him and said, "Why don't you use a trick to ambush him during the battle?"

Golden Winged Great Peng looked over, "What tricks do you have?"

"Since the Monkey King's fan is hindering your moves, just engage in hand-to-hand combat with him like the first day."

Lion Demon said, "Once you find the opportunity, before he can react, take out the Painted Pole Sky Halberd and chop him down."

"Difficult, difficult!"

Golden Winged Great Peng repeated the word difficult and said, "That Monkey King is extremely cunning, I fear he won't fall for it."

"Great King must not be impatient."

Lion Demon said, "To deal with such a character, one must patiently wait for the opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Golden Winged Great Peng showed a contemplative expression.

"You're right."

He went on to praise the Lion Demon, feeling that the plan was quite good.

Golden Winged Great Peng wondered why he, who was normally rational, would get so enraged by that monkey, failing to think of such a simple strategem.

Thankfully, he had now calmed down.

Another day passed, and Golden Winged Great Peng put away the Painted Pole Sky Halberd, wanting to engage in unarmed combat with Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong readily accepted, as he did not wish to lose the fun by using weapons against a rare opponent.

The two fought hand-to-hand, and though Golden Winged Great Peng had cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years, they still could not determine a victor after many days.

Golden Winged Great Peng felt unwillingness mixed with a bit of joy in his heart.

"This insolent monkey has fallen for it."

After many days of combat, Sun Wukong seemed to have let his guard down.

That day, the two demons once again displayed their Divine Skills in the East Sea, punching and kicking, clashing and colliding, stirring up the waters like overturning rivers and seas, fighting so fiercely that not a single bird flew in the sky nor did fish dare to swim below the surface.

The two demons went back and forth, battling until the sunset over West Mountain. Golden Winged Great Peng was weak and sore, turned around, and once more plummeted into the depths of the sea.

Sun Wukong saw it and immediately used his clone technique, plucking a few of his hairs and blowing them from his mouth.

The sky filled with monkeys, rushing towards the bottom of the sea, forcing the Golden Winged Great Peng out of the water and into a chaotic melee.

Sun Wukong revealed a smile.

"Hmm?"

He suddenly turned his head, a familiar aura had returned to Huaguo Mountain.

"Now's the time!"

The Golden Winged Great Peng found an opportunity, its body leaped up, leaving behind an afterimage to struggle with the group of monkeys.

Meanwhile, its real body appeared behind Sun Wukong in an instant, picking up the Painted Pole Sky Halberd and striking at the back of his head.

Sun Wukong, hearing the sound of the halberd cutting through the air, turned around only to find that the halberd had already struck him.

With a loud "boom", the Qi Blade swung by the Painted Pole Sky Halberd tore through the sky, shattering the clouds within a ten-mile radius.

The Immortal of Colossal Spirit, who was watching from the sky, was merely grazed by the Qi Blade, and his Heavenly General Armor was close to shattering. Terrified, he paled and immediately fled into the South Heavenly Gate.

This strike from the Golden Winged Great Peng was not inferior to the arrow Sun Wukong shot at the South Heavenly Gate back in the day.

However, the next moment, the Golden Winged Great Peng swiftly retreated.

"You... you..."

Golden Winged Great Peng looked at Sun Wukong in shock.

Struck head-on, there wasn't the slightest anomaly on Sun Wukong.

His body was in perfect condition, even the corner of his clothes shimmered with golden light, undamaged in the slightest.

"What kind of Divine Skills is this!"

Golden Winged Great Peng was alarmed and distressed.

His strike was hidden with mysteries, not just a simple chop. Even a Heavenly Immortal here would have been slain, soul scattered and dispersed!

How was Sun Wukong left completely unharmed!?

"Very well..."

The Golden Winged Great Peng erupted in rage: "You audacious monkey—"

He finally realized something was amiss.

"You've been using me for practice!"

If Sun Wukong possessed such Divine Skills, why would he need any weapons?

These past days of fighting with him were clearly because he found him amusing to play with, deliberately keeping him around for practice!

Golden Winged Great Peng was so angry he was about to explode.

He had been insulted like never before!

"Insolent monkey, your bullying is intolerable!"

Sun Wukong turned around, looking at the infuriated Golden Winged Great Peng.

He pondered for a moment, then said, "You still have something you haven't used, how dare I give it my all?"

Even though he agreed inwardly, Sun Wukong wouldn't admit it aloud.

It seemed the Golden Winged Great Peng accepted this reasoning, asking, "What haven't I used?"

"Where's your Flask of Yin and Yang Essence?"

Sun Wukong asked, "Why haven't you used it?"

Golden Winged Great Peng took a sharp breath. How did he even know about that?

That was his real treasure, containing Seven Treasures Eight Diagrams and twenty-four different essences. If someone were trapped inside, it would be fine if they stayed silent, but once they spoke, within moments, they would dissolve into pus and blood.

Sun Wukong actually knew about the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence.

"No, this can't be."

Golden Winged Great Peng thought, "This crafty and cunning monkey bringing up the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence on his own must be plotting something."

With this thought, Golden Winged Great Peng immediately retracted his Painted Pole Sky Halberd.

"Let's call it a day for now; I won't fight with you anymore."

He said, "I'll recuperate and gather my strength, and come back tomorrow for your head!"

After saying this, Golden Winged Great Peng turned and left.

"You've been saying that for over ten days now."

Sun Wukong muttered to himself, turning around and heading back to Huaguo Mountain.
