In the capital of Tianlai Holy Kingdom, "What's this? It's over already? I haven't even warmed up yet," Gahu mocked, sneering at the two generals lying on the ground. "Tianlai Holy will never yield to the demon race!" King Qiaotehua glared at Gahu with fury. "You're a king with no one left to command, what can you do?" Gahu retorted disdainfully. "One is different from zero!" King Qiaotehua's eyes blazed with defiance, undaunted by the menace. At that moment, a cold arrow shot toward them. Gahu noticed and caught it effortlessly, glancing toward the doorway where General Arnold and his group had arrived. "Sneaky arrows aren't nice," he taunted. "This ends here. We won't let you do as you please anymore!" Sisi raised her weapon, ready to fight. "Oh? Try stopping me then," Gahu scoffed. "The heroes are back! That's great" the Tianlai Holy soldiers cheered. Gahu frowned, "Heroes? Weren't they in the demon realm?" "We're back, didn't expect that, did you?" Qiuduo stepped forward, ready for battle. "Did the plan leak? No matter, I'll take you all down together," Gahu sneered. "Don't get cocky!" General Arnold struck first with "Rock Capture Technique!" Sharp stone spikes erupted from the ground, trapping Gahu, but he shattered them with a casual flick of his hand. "Got any other tricks? Bring them on," he taunted. Qiuduo charged, thrusting a spear into Gahu's chest, but it wouldn't pierce, as if Gahu was using some ironclad defense. With a single hand chop, Gahu snapped Qiuduo's spear. "What?!" Qiuduo gasped in shock. Gahu countered with a punch, sending Qiuduo flying. "Argh" Qiuduo crashed to the ground. Sisi flashed behind Gahu, aiming a slash at his neck, but it was just as impervious. She unleashed a poison mist spell. "Tch," Gahu's vision blurred instantly. "Now's our chance!" General Arnold charged with his sword, unleashing "Blazing Slash!" Gahu blocked with his arm, smirking with closed eyes, "Not going down that easily." He landed a direct punch to Arnold's abdomen, sending the general flying. "Time to wrap this up. I've got things to do," Gahu declared, forming an energy ball aimed at King Qiaotehua. Qiuduo struck with a flash thunder spell, hitting Gahu. "Not bad, you've got some skill," Gahu said, unfazed, continuing his attack on the king. "Tch, no effect?" Qiuduo launched another assault, "Thousand Thunder Strike!" High-voltage lightning barraged Gahu relentlessly. Gahu crossed his arms to defend. After the onslaught, his body smoked, hair singed and curled—Qiuduo's move had worked. "Underestimated you," Gahu gritted through pain, trembling. Suddenly, he teleported to Qiuduo, smashing an elbow into his face. "Argh" Qiuduo flew back, collapsing, unable to rise. "You're a threat. Best deal with you before you endanger Emperor Ba's plans," Gahu said, preparing a final blow. Sisi tried to intervene but was slapped away by Gahu. "Stay out of this, I'll deal with you next." Distracted, Gahu's right hand was suddenly severed. "Huh?" He turned to see Hero Kaia standing behind him. "Kaia" King Qiaotehua shouted in excitement. "Are you a hero too?" Gahu asked. "I'm still pissed, so I'll use your blood to vent," Kaia replied, raising his sword. "Big talk," Gahu sneered, extending his remaining claw, now longer and sharper, and attacked Kaia. Despite losing a hand, his speed didn't falter. Kaia defended desperately as Gahu's claws pressed relentlessly. Sisi joined to cover him. True to his title as one of the Three Demon Generals, Gahu fought evenly against two heroes despite his injury. Kaia gathered energy mid-fight, unleashing "Holy Light Slash!" Unfamiliar with the move, Gahu, like Ding'er before him, tried to block it head-on. "Ha!" Gahu crushed the light blade, but his left hand was now battered and useless. "Time to die," Kaia pressed forward. "Not decided yet," Gahu roared, activating all his inner energy. A magical battle armor formed around him, and both hands regenerated. "Do all Three Demon Generals love transforming?" Sisi remarked, unfazed. Gahu's power surged far beyond before. Kaia unleashed another Holy Light Slash, but this time Gahu took it with his body, unscathed. "The same move won't work twice," he taunted, teleporting behind Kaia and striking his head, knocking him out instantly. "Kaia~" Emily, just arriving, cried out anxiously, seeing Kaia collapsed on the ground.
