Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Serpent Coiling Mountain Eagle Sorrow Gully.

A White Dragon's majority of its body was submerged underwater, exposing only an occasional scale or claw, its dragon might extraordinary.

A huge dragon head rose above the water, its pupils constricting, its expression dazed.

In front of the Little White Dragon, this Frog Demon felt as though the air itself had solidified, trembling inwardly, panic-stricken.

"What did you say? The Scripture Seeker didn't believe what you told him?" the White Dragon asked after a moment of silence.

"Yes, it's true. I told him you were waiting for him in Eagle Sorrow Gully, willing to transform into a white horse and carry him on the Journey to the West. But, he said I was deceiving him," stammering with fear, the Frog Demon nodded repeatedly.

"Then, did you not tell him I was enlightened by Bodhisattva Guanyin?" the White Dragon's tone rose by two notches.

"I did, but the Holy Monk still didn't believe me. If I hadn't run fast, I might have been beaten to death," the Frog Demon nodded hastily, almost crying when recalling the first encounter with Jiang Liu and his companions.

Upon first meeting, the Holy Monk and the Great Sage had rushed to attack, and all he did was deliver a message, which nearly cost him his life.

"What should be done about this..." Hearing the Frog Demon's tale, the White Dragon twisted its body, causing tumultuous waves in Eagle Sorrow Gully, muttering softly to itself.

Having been enlightened by Bodhisattva Guanyin, it had joyfully awaited the arrival of the Scripture Seeker, only to have its expectations turned to the current dismal situation.

However, fortunately, Jiang Liu only pretended not to believe the Frog Demon's words, so the Little White Dragon was unaware that Jiang Liu had intentionally dismissed it.

Thinking that Jiang Liu had already detoured to the southeast, and if it didn't take action, he would truly bypass Eagle Sorrow Gully and leave, the Little White Dragon decided after some contemplation to go find the Scripture Seeker in person and clarify its identity.

Although it had been imprisoned in Eagle Sorrow Gully by the Jade Emperor, since it was enlightened by Bodhisattva Guanyin, its hardship was presumably resolved.

With a thought, it no longer cared for the consequences. The Little White Dragon emitted a loud dragon roar, soaring out of Eagle Sorrow Gully, heading in the southeast direction.

As the White Dragon took flight, clouds and rain followed in the sky...

...

Let us leave aside for the moment the situation at Eagle Sorrow Gully. Elsewhere, Jiang Liu, along with the guards from Wu City, set out and reached the area where a group of six thieves operated.

Since the lair of the six thieves was not known, appearing as if out of thin air, these guards were merely searching within the area where the thieves had been active.

However, fortunately, without wasting much time, the guards split into three squads, and after a brief search, they quickly found traces of the thieves.

Hearing shouts in the distance, Jiang Liu, who was with one of the search parties, hurried toward the direction of the commotion.

Indeed, several fierce bandits were seen clashing with the guards, their attacks were sharp and powerful, leaving several guards lying on the ground injured.

Jiang Liu saw clearly that a guard struck with his knife, but one of the thieves raised their arm to block the blow, resulting in only a superficial cut on their skin.

"Is this a sign of Body Tempering Realm cultivation level?" Seeing the thief's bodily defense ability, Jiang Liu was inwardly shocked.

Guanyin Mantra!

Knowing his job, Jiang Liu raised his hand and a healing Guanyin Mantra landed on the most seriously wounded guard, significantly restoring his Health Points.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

At the same time, he raised his palm and launched a Taoist Magic Swift Fire Bead at the opponents.

The fireball exploded directly on one of the thieves, and under the double damage enhancement of the Redwood Ring, his health bar plummeted drastically.

Although Jiang Liu's level was lower than these thieves, the boost from his full set of equipment plus the destructive power of his skills still caused considerable damage to these targets only a few levels higher than himself.

"What a skilled Mage!" Seeing Jiang Liu's Swift Fire Bead's Taoist Magic blast one of the thieves into a charred state, the leader of the guards next to him expressed both shock and delight.

Originally, they thought Jiang Liu was only proficient in healing, but surprisingly, he also possessed such demon-subduing divine skills.

Sun Wukong, who was on the side, watched eagerly. These were just little demons formed from human resentment, and yet they were causing so much trouble. If I, Old Sun, made a move, one strike per demon, it would be a breeze.

However, Sun Wukong had been squeezed by Jiang Liu before, who claimed he bullies the weak and fears the strong, so Sun Wukong refrained from taking action.

Still, Sun Wukong's gaze lingered on Jiang Liu, and he wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but he felt that in just around a month or so, Jiang Liu's cultivation level seemed to have increased a lot.

Hint: You have gained 2360 Experience Points and 120 gold.

Hint: You have gained 2500 Experience Points and 125 gold.

Although the strength of these six thieves was indeed notable, Jiang Liu's prowess was equally impressive, and with the help of the guards nearby, they gained the upper hand. After a brief fight, two of the thieves were killed, their bodies turning into light smoke and disappearing, proving they were indeed demon creatures, not living humans.

"A thief yields over 2000 Experience Points, so six would give me around 10000 Experience Points, right? Plus the reward for completing the task, this loot isn't too shabby," thought Jiang Liu to himself, quite satisfied after slaying two thieves in succession.

More importantly, the levels of those guards were not high, and in the state of fighting together, as if in a team-battle scenario, the loot that burst forth was likely automatically picked up into the bag space.

However, at this moment, suddenly the sound of dragon chanting resounded from the sky, accompanied by clouds and rain, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

In the midst of the dark clouds, they could see a completely white dragon tumbling in the sea of clouds.

"A dragon!?" Seeing the dragon appearing in the sky, the guards were astounded, as it was naturally the first time for these ordinary people to witness a living dragon.

"A White Dragon? Could this be..." But as Jiang Liu watched the sudden appearance of the dragon, his heart sank slightly.

Under Jiang Liu's gaze, the White Dragon dived down, its mouth opened wide, exhaling a burst of Dragon Fire and instantly turning two of the closer-standing thieves into ash.

At the same time, its Dragon Claw grabbed one of the thieves and its mouth picked up the last thief, flying high into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, the last two thieves were also killed.

Hint: You have gained 350 Experience Points.

Hint: You have gained 260 Experience Points.

Hint: You have gained 10 Experience Points.

...

The continual system hints made Jiang Liu's face darken slightly; he had been monster-killed again, hadn't he?

The White Dragon, who danced in the sky and struck down the last four thieves as swiftly as a thunderbolt, transformed into a young man in a white robe and landed in front of Jiang Liu, kneeling on one knee and saying loudly, "Little Dragon Aolie, pays respect to Master".

Kneeling on one knee before Jiang Liu, Aolie felt he was truly clever, making a grand entrance by helping his master take care of several enemies; surely, his master would be very pleased?

He believed he had certainly made a good first impression.
