The Six-Eared Macaque originally intended to merely scare this mortal, but after Xuanzang mentioned that this mortal was an impressive person and also a Great General, the macaque knew he could not be compared to an ordinary mortal, which is why the Six-Eared Macaque summoned such a monster.
Seeing Chen Nuo charging at it with a weapon, the monster, undaunted, bared its fangs and charged toward Chen Nuo.
Chen Nuo, with his knife in hand, performed a sliding tackle and smoothly slid under the creature's belly. With his blade turned upward, he completed the tackle in one swift motion, causing the monster to start wailing in agony.
Delighted at having wounded the monster, Chen Nuo did not simply walk away; instead, he continued to deliver decisive blows with his knife.
Landing the final blow was a crucial matter. If he didn't do it in time, the creature might recover and revert to its original state, rendering all his efforts fruitless.
