When the evil king Zhou, the last ruler of Shang dynasty was rebelled against by his former subordinate King Wu, general Kong Xuan fought the rebel army in the Golden Cock Range.[1]
Kong Xuan has five different rays of light which will sweep his enemy into a void, thus he gave king Wu's armies a hard times against him. Even king Wu's mightiest generals such as Nezha and Yang Jian (Erlang Shen) are no match against him.
However, in the end Kong Quan is defeated by Candi, a Buddha from the west. He then reverted into his original form a giant peacock and become Candi's mount.
