Although Demon King Ox didn’t want his family involved in this catastrophic heavenly ordeal, he had even resorted to force, capturing Red Boy and taking him back home, but he had underestimated his own son’s power of Samadhi True Fire and was surprised when Red Boy burned the ropes and escaped.
Connected by heart to her son, once Princess Iron-Fan learned from Demon King Ox about the danger of getting involved, she left Banana Leaf Cave without hesitation to look for Red Boy.
Demon King Ox wanted to stop her, but Princess Iron-Fan took out her Banana Leaf Fan with a firm attitude, insisting she had to go.
Princess Iron-Fan had always been gentle and graceful towards herself, and today she had unexpectedly confronted him with the Banana Leaf Fan?
Demon King Ox was inwardly shocked and also felt a heaviness in his heart; how similar was this to those brothers and sisters from Green Tour Palace back in the day?
Was it the calamity of heaven and earth that affected their minds, making them do things they normally wouldn’t?
Such compulsion made Demon King Ox afraid to comply, and only then did Princess Iron-Fan turn and leave!
Demon King Ox stayed alone in Banana Leaf Cave for a long time, realizing that his wife and child had both left and were about to be drawn into the catastrophe of the Journey West. Should he still be hiding?
After thinking for a long time, Demon King Ox clenched his teeth and made his choice again.
The previous time, when he knew Jiang Liu and his group had arrived at Flame Cloud Cave, although Demon King Ox was afraid of the heavenly ordeal, he had still clenched his teeth and gone to Flame Cloud Cave.
Similarly, this time faced with the same situation, Demon King Ox clenched his teeth and followed after them.
What was a heavenly catastrophe if his wife and child were to die under this great disaster? Living would be meaningless for him.
Thus, although he knew this departure might be without return, Demon King Ox had no choice but to go.
Indeed, mother and son were connected by heart, and moreover, when the Red Tassel Spear was forged, a drop of Princess Iron-Fan’s essence blood was used. Thus, she could sense Red Boy’s location and even more feel whether Red Boy was injured.
"What, the Holy Infant is injured!?" Hearing his wife’s words, Demon King Ox’s face changed dramatically with shock.
Then, he increased his speed a bit and quickly flew towards the Flood Dragon Pool in Yunmeng Marsh.
…
"Red Boy, I appreciate your intention, but you are not his match; staying here is just senselessly throwing your life away! Don’t worry, I have my ways of protecting myself!" At Flood Dragon Pool, seeing that just the rebounding force itself had reduced Red Boy’s health bar by a third, Jiang Liu urgently spoke to him.
"No, Holy Monk, don’t deceive me! If you truly could protect yourself, why were you unable to fight back!?" Ready to risk his life, Red Boy, holding the Red Tassel Spear, stared intently at the Fire Flood Dragon and spoke, his expression firm with no intention of backing down.
"Oh? Whose child are you? I like your style! What do you say? Would you like to become my disciple!?" Although the Fire Flood Dragon was angered by Red Boy’s sneak attack, he had more admiration for his talent.
So young, yet able to wield Samadhi True Fire? And this sacrificial spirit was admirable; the Fire Flood Dragon quite liked Red Boy and was willing to take him as a disciple.

"Get lost! Why would I, young master, need to be your disciple!?" however, rebellious by nature, Red Boy would not agree. Hearing this, he unapologetically said.
"Well then, since that’s the case, don’t blame me for being rude!" Somewhat regretfully shaking his head, the Fire Flood Dragon no longer insisted.
As he spoke, the Fire Flood Dragon lifted his hand again, and similarly, blistering flames ignited in his hand.
The crimson Dragon Fire, seemingly even more intense than Red Boy’s Samadhi True Fire by three times.
Whoo!
Seeing the Fire Flood Dragon’s move, Red Boy didn’t waste words; all the Samadhi True Fire rushed into his Red Tassel Spear, then, amid a blaze, he thrust the spear directly at the opponent.
Similarly, the Fire Flood Dragon’s raised hand also swung down, and the crimson fierce flame also pressed down towards Red Boy.
Crimson flames met crimson flames, the two fires fiercely collided, making the whole world seem as though it had turned into a flaming purgatory.
The water level within tens of miles around Yunmeng Marsh dropped a notch, instantly evaporated by the fearsome flames.
As the aftermath of the explosion dissipated, Jiang Liu looked back to find the Red Tassel Spear fallen aside, and Red Boy, charred black, lay on the ground in a pitiful state.
With barely any intact skin visible on his entire body, but he was still struggling to stand up from the ground.
However, after several attempts, he failed.
At that very moment, the effect time of the Nine-Ring Staff had completely passed, and the barrier surrounding Jiang Liu had also dissipated.
Jiang Liu hurried over to Red Boy’s side. Looking at his condition, he felt both guilt and gratitude.
In Jiang Liu’s eyes, it was clear to see that Red Boy’s health bar was down to a mere sliver.
It looked as though he might die at any moment.
"You child, I ask you one last time, are you willing to become my disciple!?" The Fire Flood Dragon, while unaffected, slowly raised the hand burning with Dragon Fire, still looking at Red Boy and spoke.
If he hadn’t held back just now, with his Daluo Golden Immortal cultivation level, it would have been completely possible to kill Red Boy in one move.
"Pah, young master me, just, just wouldn’t, wouldn’t..." Struggling to stand but failing, though he looked utterly miserable, Red Boy nevertheless endured without crying out in pain, only spitting out towards the Fire Flood Dragon.
"Don’t move, I’ll help you heal!" Seeing that Red Boy’s health bar on his head had only a sliver of health left, Jiang Liu hurriedly said.
While speaking, he lifted his hand to activate the Guanyin Mantra skill.
"Holy Infant!" However, just at that moment, suddenly, a shrill scream erupted.
Jiang Liu followed the sound, only to see that Princess Iron Fan and Demon King Ox had flown over.
"Holy Infant, how are you? Are you alright!?" Bonded by motherly love, seeing Red Boy’s body resembling burnt charcoal, Princess Iron Fan was bursting into tears, holding Red Boy in her embrace.
"Holy Infant!" Demon King Ox, however, didn’t react as dramatically as Princess Iron Fan, but seeing Red Boy’s pitiable state, his face was equally grim as water.
Immediately, his eyes fell on the Fire Flood Dragon beside him.
"You, deserve to die!" Demon King Ox’s eyes gradually became blood-red, and at the same time, a terrifying demonic qi emanated from his body.
Without much nonsense, Demon King Ox raised his hand, summoned the iron stick in his hand, and smashed it directly towards the Fire Flood Dragon, completely with a life-or-death attitude.
Watching Demon King Ox’s attack, the Fire Flood Dragon slightly furrowed his brows, raised his fists likewise, and met Demon King Ox head-on.
With a bang, Demon King Ox’s iron stick collided with the Fire Flood Dragon’s fist.
The tremendous force that erupted caused both Demon King Ox and the Fire Flood Dragon to take three steps back respectively, apparently, in terms of strength, they were evenly matched.
Although both were in the Great Luo Realm, and both had the blue UI, Demon King Ox was renowned for his strength, but the Fire Flood Dragon had a higher level, so in their bout of strength, they seemed evenly matched.
Taking a deep breath!
With just one move, Demon King Ox knew that the enemy’s strength was greater than he had imagined, and harboring intentions of murder, he had no intention of entangling further, his figure swelled against the wind, and in a moment, he transformed into a giant a hundred feet tall, clearly using the Divine Skill ’Law of Heaven and Earth.’
Realizing Demon King Ox’s power, the Fire Flood Dragon also let out a resonant dragon cry, and immediately, he soared and transformed into a gigantic crimson flood dragon in mid-air.
The forms of ’Law of Heaven and Earth’ and the giant flood dragon clashed, both at the level of Daluo Golden Immortal; this battle could be described as earth-shattering, sun- and moonlight obscured.
"Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra!"
"Strengthening Body-Protection Spell!"
"Vajra Mantra!"
"Guanyin Mantra!"
Watching the battle over there, Jiang Liu naturally lifted his hand and repeatedly applied several Buff skills on Demon King Ox.
Of course, the final Guanyin Mantra, Jiang Liu cast on Red Boy.
With 25% maximum life value restored, as this Guanyin Mantra fell, visibly, Red Boy’s body rapidly recovered a segment.
As far as the eye could see, he had approximately recovered to one-third of his health.
"Here, drink this potion!" Following the Guanyin Mantra, Jiang Liu then took out a Healing Potion and offered it to Red Boy.
The Hand of Healing skill could also heal, but given that Demon King Ox and the Fire Flood Dragon seemed evenly matched, Jiang Liu kept a healing method in reserve, just in case.
"Thank you, Holy Monk!" Following the Guanyin Mantra, Red Boy’s injuries had somewhat recovered. He stood up, not being polite, took the potion from Jiang Liu’s hand, and guzzled it down.
Bang bang bang!
Not to mention that Red Boy’s injuries had now about halved, next to them, the battle between Demon King Ox and Fire Flood Dragon had escalated into an intense phase.

With fiery red eyes, Demon King Ox, obviously frantic due to Red Boy’s injuries, acted with a reckless abandon.
Facing his frenzied attacks, Fire Flood Dragon had no choice but to summon up all his energy to face everything.
With a bang, the iron stick imbued with demonic qi collided fiercely once more with the Fire Flood Dragon’s fist engulfed in Dragon Fire, causing Demon King Ox to stagger back two steps.
But similarly, the Fire Flood Dragon was forced back even more, seemingly retreating further than Demon King Ox.
"This guy, he’s grown even stronger!"
Feeling Demon King Ox’s increased strength, which was significantly stronger than before, the Fire Flood Dragon inwardly tensed up, while his gaze subtly swept Jiang Liu.
He saw that Demon King Ox’s boost in strength was all due to the Buff skills that Jiang Liu had just applied.
