798 -798: Defeat of the Ten Thousand Demons

The Spell of Dispel cast upon himself, Jiang Liu could feel that all constraints on his body had relaxed at this moment.

Naturally, the binding of the Escape Dragon Stake had also completely lost its effect.

“What!?” Feeling Jiang Liu breaking free from the Escape Dragon Stake, the Green Lion Demon turned his head back in surprise.

The Escape Dragon Stake was a treasure of Manjushri Bodhisattva, and ordinary people, once bound, should not have been able to break free!

Hum!

Having successfully lifted the binding state from himself, Jiang Liu did not intend to give the Green Lion Demon any time to think.

The Eighteen Rank Lotus once again bloomed with dazzling light, then shot directly towards the Green Lion Demon.

This time, the power displayed by the Eighteen Rank Lotus was not for defense, nor for binding, but for attack!

Watching the light shooting out from the Eighteen Rank Lotus and feeling the terrible attack power contained within, the Green Lion Demon was horrified and reflexively raised his own arms to block!

Ah!

A scream rose as the Green Lion Demon’s raised arm, under the light of the Eighteen Rank Lotus, melted rapidly, like a snowman under the scorching sun.

This terrifying sight, along with the intense pain, caused the Green Lion Demon to scream in fear.

“Big Brother!”

Hearing the screams of the Green Lion Demon and seeing his arm melting away under the power of the Eighteen Rank Lotus, the faces of the White Elephant Demon and the Roc Demon changed dramatically as they exclaimed in shock.

“Go!”

With one arm already melted, the Green Lion Demon gritted his teeth, swung his weapon, and hurled it viciously towards Jiang Liu.

This was an attack where he was gambling with his life, and naturally, the force it contained was extremely powerful.

If it were a Dharma Treasure powered by mana, it could be brought down with a Cash-Dropping Coin.

However, with this direct projectile attack, there was no way to bring it down with a Cash-Dropping Coin.

Yet, facing the life-risking attack of the Green Lion Demon, Jiang Liu still did not dodge, allowing the weapon to strike him hard.

From the outside, Jiang Liu, who was hit by the weapon, still appeared unharmed.

“Retreat!

Everyone, quickly retreat!”

Seeing the life of the Green Lion Demon hanging by a thread, the Roc Demon yelled loudly, urging the remaining demon army to retreat swiftly.

At the same time, the Roc Demon shook his Square Sky Halberd, forcing Sun Wukong back considerably.

After a struggle, the Roc Demon, restrained by Sun Wukong, had suffered some injuries, but the effort pushed Sun Wukong back a fair distance, which both shocked and elated the Roc Demon.

Has this pesky monkey’s strength dropped significantly?

What’s more, the weakness state on his body had disappeared entirely and he didn’t know when!

“Damn it!

The extra strength my master granted me has reached its time limit…” Realizing that the power inside his body had diminished, Sun Wukong inwardly cursed at the bad timing.

Whoosh!

Though he did not know exactly what happened, his weakness state was gone and Sun Wukong’s strength seemed to have decreased quite a bit; the Roc Demon would not waste this opportunity.

After repelling Sun Wukong, the Roc Demon moved swiftly towards Zhu Bajie.

His Square Sky Halberd crashed down on Zhu Bajie with the force of a thousand jun!

“Vajra Mantra!”

While Jiang Liu’s attention was on the Green Lion Demon, as the overall commander of the group battle, he naturally kept part of his mind on the overall situation of the battlefield.

Seeing the Roc Demon attacking Zhu Bajie, Jiang Liu reacted quickly and instantly bestowed a Vajra Mantra status on Zhu Bajie.

Without the Weakness Talisman, the Roc Demon’s strength had greatly increased at this time.

Bang!

Sure enough, Zhu Bajie couldn’t withstand the attack of the Roc Demon; the Square Sky Halberd struck him, and he was sent flying backward.

At the same time, his health bar also declined slightly.

Seizing the moment when Jiang Liu’s attention shifted to Zhu Bajie, the White Elephant Demon, timing it just right, swung his long trunk like a long whip, directly ensnaring the Green Lion Demon’s waist and pulling him to his own side.

Chirp!

The Roc Demon issued a loud and clear cry, then immediately transformed into his true self, a massive Roc Bird.

Then, flapping his giant wings, his claws grabbed the Green Lion Demon and the White Elephant Demon, quickly flying off into the distance.

“Stop right there!”

Seeing the Roc Demon leading the Green Lion Demon and the White Elephant Demon trying to leave, Sun Wukong shouted loudly and chased after them.

However, in terms of speed, the Roc Demon was even faster than Sun Wukong, and in the blink of an eye, it had completely vanished.

After the time it took to brew half a cup of tea had passed, Sun Wukong came back somewhat frustrated, shook his head at Jiang Liu, signaling that he had not caught up and the enemy had escaped.

“It’s good that you didn’t catch up!” However, Jiang Liu was not at all discouraged by Sun Wukong’s failure to catch the Roc Demon; on the contrary, he seemed to heave a sigh of relief.

Without the bonuses of the Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra and the Weakness Talisman, even if Sun Wukong had caught up with the Roc Demon, he would not have been a match for it.

Not catching them now was actually a stroke of good fortune.

The three demons of the Lion Camel Kingdom fled in defeat, and with the speed of the Roc Demon, there was no chance of catching up.

The army of the Demon Clan, numbering in the tens of thousands, had also suffered heavy casualties, and though they had retreated en masse like the tide at the end, the Good Corpse took advantage of the final moments to intensify the release of his spells, slaying hundreds more demons, transforming them all into experience points.

With the battle over, Jiang Liu took a deep breath and checked his character panel.

The skirmish had cost countless demons their lives, and even though he was in a team, he had gained over 100 million experience points—a haul that Jiang Liu was quite satisfied with.

In addition to the experience points, Jiang Liu had also received a considerable amount of cash rewards.

Opening his system marketplace to check, he found his savings had once again reached around 4 million taels.

“Pity they escaped…” While Jiang Liu was fairly satisfied with the loot, he shook his head inwardly in regret, thinking it was a shame that all three demons of the Lion Camel Kingdom had escaped.

His mission was to slay all three demons, but now he hadn’t managed to kill any of them.

The most injured, the Green Lion Demon, had just lost an arm.

“Holy Monk, you all are truly formidable!” At this moment, the Peacock Princess stepped forward, her face filled with astonishment as she spoke to Jiang Liu.

Although she hadn’t intervened from beginning to end, the Peacock Princess had watched the entire battle unfold.

The entire Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team was powerful, and as the leader, Holy Monk Xuanzang had the ability to control the overall battle situation.

“That’s nothing special; if we had truly been strong enough, they wouldn’t have escaped just now!” Hearing the Peacock Princess’s exclamation, Jiang Liu shook his head and spoke with evident regret on his face.

“The strength of those three demons is not weak, and with an army of the Demon Clan in the tens of thousands, to achieve such results is already earth-shattering!” Seeing Jiang Liu’s regretful expression, the Peacock Princess said after him.

Indeed, with an army of the Demon Clan in the tens of thousands and the three powerful individuals like the Roc Demon themselves all defeated by the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team, this was enough to prove their strength.

As for whether those three demons had successfully escaped?

This seemed not to be too important anymore.

“Alas…” The words of the Peacock Princess made Jiang Liu internally sigh with some helplessness.

If his purpose was to seek fame, it would suffice to defeat the massive demon army.

But his aim was not to seek fame, but to complete the system’s task!

“Master, what shall we do next?” At this point, Sun Wukong stepped forward, addressing Jiang Liu with this question.

Following Sun Wukong’s words, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and the Little White Dragon also came closer, their gazes falling on Jiang Liu.

Indeed, the melee was over, and the three demons of Lion Camel Kingdom had fled.

They couldn’t be pursued, and so, what was the next move?

“What to do, indeed?” Hearing Sun Wukong’s question, Jiang Liu silently pondered to himself.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Liu spoke up, “Firstly, our goal naturally is to find traces of the three demons, and if we do, to eradicate them all and give justice to the entire Lion Camel Kingdom!”

“But Master, what if we can’t find the three demons?

What if they all hide away?” Sun Wukong reflected for a moment after Jiang Liu’s statement and then promptly asked Jiang Liu.

“Being able to find the traces of the three demons would be the best outcome, but if we cannot find them…”

As he spoke, Jiang Liu paused for a moment, then after a brief silence, continued, “There is a saying, the monk can run but the temple can’t hide!

If we truly can’t find traces of the three demons, then we’ll just have to seek out Manjushri and Samantabhadra and demand they hand over the evil demons under their command!”

“Awe-inspiring!”

At Jiang Liu’s words, Sun Wukong and the others looked at him in astonishment.

Especially the Peacock Princess, who stared at Jiang Liu in even greater surprise, almost doubting her own ears.

Who are Manjushri and Samantabhadra?

They are pillars of the Buddhist Sect, and with the former Guanyin, they are known as the three great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism!

Although they are of Bodhisattva rank, both their reputation and strength surpassed many Buddhas!

Yet Xuanzang as a disciple of Buddhism intended to actively seek fault with the Bodhisattvas?

Such action is utterly domineering.
