Yaksha, a grotesque ghost in Buddhist scriptures, known for its courage and ferociousness, capable of devouring humans.
Some Yakshas became Dharma Protector deities under Buddha's guidance, becoming part of the Celestial Dragon Eight Divisions.
The Sutra of Vimalakirti, Chapter on the Buddha Country says: "And the other great and mighty gods: Dragons, Yakshas, Kinnaras, Asuras, Garudas, Kinnaras, Moloch, all came to sit in the assembly."
Venerable Kumarajiva noted: There are three kinds of Yaksha: one on earth, two in the sky, and three celestial Yakshas.
Earth Yakshas only offer material gifts, so they cannot fly, celestial Yakshas offer chariots and horses, thus they can fly.
Seeing the skinned Yaksha clawing towards him, Sun Yan reacted extremely quickly, reflexively leaning back in an iron bridge stance, dodging the Yaksha's attack.
Seizing the opportunity, he pulled out the Nine Dragon Five Thunder Seal and pressed it against the Yaksha's chest.
