Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

"Liu'er, you..." Holding his severed arm, Senior Brother Xuankong looked at Jiang Liu, who had abruptly jumped out, and his expression couldn't help but change.

Jiang Liu had thought that he had quietly left Jinshan Temple, but to his surprise, at this critical moment, he jumped out.

"You are a brave youngster," watching Jiang Liu, this scholar sitting in the chair gently shook the feather fan in his hand, putting on an affected air of elegance. He wanted to say a few words to exhibit his demeanor.

However, before he could finish speaking, his face suddenly changed, exclaiming, "How audacious!"

Once they started to fight, there was no dragging their feet, especially now that they were outnumbered.

Thus, Jiang Liu, ignoring the scholar's attempt to speak, directly pointed his ebony stick at one of the bandits, aiming to take the initiative by targeting an already severely injured bandit first.

Watching Jiang Liu swing his stick down, this bandit raised his steel knife trying to block it.

However, the ebony stick in Jiang Liu's hand seemed to be forged from steel as golden light twined around it.

With a single strike, what was horrifying was that the bandit's steel knife snapped with a crack.

Then this stick hit the bandit's head fiercely, his eyes rolled back, and he fell into a coma without any grace.

The passive effect of the Redwood Ring doubles the damage on the first strike, hence the blow from the ebony stick could shatter the steel knife in one move.

Notification: Earned 32 Experience Points, z6 coins.

The prompt from the game system arrived as expected, but Jiang Liu, having knocked one bandit out cold with a strike, did not pay attention to it. His ebony stick swept toward several other bandits again.

After all, the skill of Arhat Fist only lasted for 180 seconds, and without it, his attack power would greatly reduce.

Hence once he acted, Jiang Liu naturally did not waste any time.

However, the nearby bandits, seeing Jiang Liu jump out and knock out a comrade in seconds, and then observing the knife broken by the ebony stick on the ground, were all shocked and became hesitant to advance, even retreating quickly.

Gaoyang, naturally moving forward and back with Jiang Liu, watched Jiang Liu make his move, and with his figure light as a startled swan, he whipped his leather whip.

With a snap, it accurately hit another bandit's arm, who screamed as the heavy force instantly broke his arm.

These bandits, though ferocious and even used to living on the blade for many years with decent martial arts, were intimidated in spirit, how could they still be opponents for Jiang Liu and Gaoyang?

Gaoyang's martial arts were already very advanced, sufficient to battle demons.

And what about Jiang Liu? Although he was only level 6, the enhancements from Arhat Fist, the Redwood Ring, and the ebony stick meant his strength was much greater.

For these bandits, the prowess of Jiang Liu and Gaoyang was clearly a cut above theirs.

"Has Liu'er's martial arts become this formidable?" Senior Brother Xuankong, watching from the side with his severed arm, initially wanted to muster strength to help, but a glance at the ground, seeing the knife shattered by the strike, startled him, and he realized this was beyond his ability.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Like a tiger among sheep, these bandits were beaten to a complete rout in moments, nearly all of them falling into unconsciousness.

"Second, second in command, save, save me..."

The last bandit, his steel knife also broken by Gaoyang's whip, with a flying dagger stuck in his shoulder, panickedly retreated to the scholar who affected an air of elegance.

"Alas, trash will always be trash. It seems I will have to rely on myself after all," putting down his feather fan, the scholar stood up.

Watching this scholar-dressed fellow, Jiang Liu's expression also grew much more solemn.

Since he was the leader of these bandits, it was obvious that this guy must have been quite strong, and in a world filled with demons and ghosts, judging someone's strength merely by their physical appearance was clearly unreliable.

With a smack, to Jiang Liu and Gaoyang's surprise, the scholar made a move, but it was not directed towards them. Instead, he performed a precise chop with the edge of his hand on the neck of the last remaining bandit, knocking him unconscious.

Tip: Gained 5 Experience Points.

Jiang Liu and Gaoyang looked at each other, both stunned.

However, Jiang Liu's shock was not just about the scholar's action; he was also surprised that the knocked-out bandit had only given him 9 Experience Points in total.

It seemed his monster had been stolen, so, had his Experience Points sharply decreased?

"Cackling...

As the last bandit was knocked unconscious, a sharp and piercing laugh suddenly erupted from the scholar's mouth, reminiscent of a night owl, completely contrary to his previously feigned scholarly demeanor, "Now that all these guys are unconscious, no one remembers my true face anymore."

Following the scholar's slippery words, an eerie throbbing appeared at the spot over his chest inside his robe.

Suddenly, the area over his chest burst open, and a pitch-black crow, with a third eye on its forehead, bizarrely emerged from the scholar's chest.

"A demon!?" As they saw the three-eyed black crow emerge, Jiang Liu and Gaoyang's expressions involuntarily changed.

"Able to burrow into a human body and control its actions without detection? Has it reached the level of a Demon Soldier?" Gaoyang said gravely as he looked at the three-eyed crow.

Demon Soldiers are beings that can mimic human behavior, like the Wolf Demon that could walk upright, or like the Three-Eyed Crow before them, which could control human actions flawlessly without giving away any flaws.

"A Demon Soldier?" As Jiang Liu watched the three-eyed crow fly out, his mind was heavy with concentration, yet tinged with some anticipation.

Although they were both Demon Soldiers, the crow's strength should be less than the Wolf Demon's, given that wolves were inherently ferocious beasts.

Moreover, Jiang Liu and Gaoyang had both improved in strength since then; perhaps they could kill this Three-Eyed Crow?

After slaying the Wolf Demon previously, not only had a lot of items burst forth, but there had also been a massive amount of Experience Points that allowed him to level up three times.

If he succeeded in killing this Three-Eyed Crow, he should be able to make a significant advance, right?

"Usually hiding inside the bandit stronghold, it's really troublesome trying to opportunistically eat a few humans' brains. This time I must thank you all for knocking them unconscious, letting me feast well..."

The Three-Eyed Crow, flapping its wings, whose three eyes filled with ominous and evil auras, stared at Jiang Liu and the others.

"One, two, three..." Its gaze swept across Jiang Liu, Gaoyang, and even Senior Brother Xuankong and the others behind them, its voice sharp, "Cackle, cackle, cackle, it looks like I'll have a feast today, six people's brains for me to eat."

"Think you can eat us? Just afraid you don't have that big of an appetite!" Taking advantage of some time left in his Arhat Fist skill, Jiang Liu lifted his Ebony Stick and smashed it fiercely towards the crow.

Crack!

However, facing Jiang Liu's attack, the crow opened its beak and pecked at it.

Then, the Fine Level Quality Ebony Stick was actually directly snapped by the Three-Eyed Crow's peck.

"A mere beginner in Qi Cultivation and the girl next to you, only at the Meridian Unblocking Stage, dare to act recklessly in front of me, the Demon Eye General..."

After pecking Jiang Liu's Ebony Stick in half, the Three-Eyed Crow leisurely preened its feathers with its beak, speaking calmly.

"Demon Eye General? You are a Demon General!?"

The words of the Three-Eyed Crow made Gaoyang's face turn deathly pale.
