Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 581: The Toughest Demon on the Journey to the West

White Dragon Horse, hooves facing west.

After leaving the Women's Kingdom, Jiang Liu traveled westward, continuing on his way, indeed making another full circuit.

In places such as Jisai Country and Thistle Ridge, seeing the Journey to the West Team that had left before, now having circled back, they all wore baffled expressions.

After greeting these people, Jiang Liu didn't explain much.

In the blink of an eye, about a month had passed by.

During this month, Jiang Liu seized every day to raid dungeons, pushing through the entire Map of Mountains and Rivers, gaining Experience Points much faster than before.

Jiang Liu, at level 68, was now able to team up with the White Dragon Horse, Sha Wujing, and even Zhu Bajie.

With this team raiding dungeons, the final BOSS inside, being only over level 60, was naturally quick to be steamrolled.

Although the speed of steamrolling dungeons had greatly increased, for Jiang Liu, the difficulty of this dungeon had become somewhat insignificant.

So, in the span of a month, he had only gained a little over 200 million Experience Points, which seemed to be bringing him closer to level 69.

Yet, he still lacked a substantial amount of Experience Points.

"Indeed, leveling up in the Illusionary Demon Cave is the fastest!" With such a slow leveling speed, Jiang Liu naturally missed the days in the Illusionary Demon Cave.

"Master, in these recent days of, eh, raiding dungeons with you, I feel like my Cultivation Level has increased quite a bit!" The hooves were trotting westward, and suddenly, the White Dragon Horse spoke to Jiang Liu.

"Oh? Your Cultivation Level has increased quite a bit?" Musing nostalgically about the rapid leveling days in the Illusionary Demon Cave and hearing what the White Dragon Horse said, Jiang Liu felt surprised and looked down at him.

At the same time, he silently invoked: Character Panel.

The White Dragon Horse's character panel appeared before him.

ID: Aolie (Golden).

Gender: Male.

Level: 67.

Profession: Dragon.

Equipment: ...

"Eh?"

Looking at the White Dragon Horse's character panel, Jiang Liu was slightly taken aback. Indeed, Aolie had reached level 67 without him noticing when it had been level 66!

"Hmm, not bad, keep it up!" Seeing the White Dragon Horse had increased a level without him noticing, Jiang Liu nodded in approval.

Indeed, when teaming up to fight monsters, wasn't it that not only could he gain Experience Points, but also these team members?

"Right, there's another way to form a team, isn't there?" Thinking of the situation while fighting monsters in a team, Jiang Liu's mind buzzed with another thought.

Beyond the regular teaming method, Jiang Liu remembered that the Social System feature he had unlocked earlier also included a mentor-disciple teaming function.

However, this mentor-disciple teaming could only be used when his level as a mentor surpassed that of his disciple.

Now that his level just happened to be one higher than the White Dragon Horse's, he wondered if he could try the mentor-disciple team function.

The ordinary team function meant letting teammates carry him through leveling experiences.

This mentor-disciple team needed my level to exceed the disciple's, so was it meant for me to carry the disciple through leveling experiences?

Curious, Jiang Liu naturally wanted to take the White Dragon Horse into a dungeon to try it out.

However, just at this moment, suddenly, a gust of demonic wind appeared.

Straightaway, a one-horned Flood Dragon appeared before him, its blood-red eyes intensely fixed on him, filled with longing.

"Are you the Monk heading to the Western Heaven to worship Buddha and seek scriptures!?" After the one-horned Flood Dragon appeared, it glanced at Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, eventually fixing its gaze on Jiang Liu and asking the question.

As for the short and skinny Monkey Sun Wukong? Naturally, it ignored him.

"Indeed, I am!" Jiang Liu replied somewhat bluntly, nodding his head.

Although he had been traveling westward all this time, to suddenly have a Demon Creature jump out to block his path and directly inquire about his identity was, it seemed, a first for him.

"Good! It seems that my luck is fortuitous, having found you!" Listening to Jiang Liu's response, this Flood Dragon seemed quite delighted.

"You're looking for me? What do you want with me?" Hearing this one-horned Flood Dragon's words, Jiang Liu asked.

"I have practiced for a thousand years, nearly ascending to the Immortal Path; however, my lifespan is dwindling. I heard that consuming a piece of meat from a Monk of the Tang Dynasty on his Journey to the West grants Longevity Life, so I came to find you, Monk, as it is your fate to be eaten by me!" The Flood Dragon did not beat around the bush and directly revealed its purpose for seeking out Jiang Liu.

This statement from the Flood Dragon left Sun Wukong and his brothers exchanging puzzled glances.

They had encountered many Demons interested in their Master, but to see one, like this creature, brazenly popping out to declare it wanted the Master's flesh was indeed a first.

"That's pretty hardcore, isn't it!?" Getting this response from the Flood Dragon, the corners of Jiang Liu's mouth twitched slightly.

Immediately, his gaze fell on the Flood Dragon as he silently invoked the Character Panel.

Soon, the Flood Dragon's character panel emerged before Jiang Liu's eyes.

ID: Red Flood Dragon (White Color)

Gender: Male.

Profession: Demon.

Level: 59.

Equipment: ...

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly as he looked at the flood dragon that blocked his path, demanding his flesh. Jiang Liu had originally thought its cultivation level would be quite high, but to his surprise, it turned out to be just a mere level 59 white-tier?

Well, in the mortal world, a cultivation level of level 59 within the Demon King Realm was indeed considered quite strong.

But to come to him preparing to make a move, wasn't this just delivering itself to him on a platter?

"Master, it looks like we have some good ingredients delivered to our door tonight!" Zhu Bajie shook his Nine-Toothed Rake, ready to make a move, and spoke at the same time.

"Wait, Bajie, let your master handle this!"

Just as Zhu Bajie was about to make a move, Jiang Liu stopped him.

As he spoke, Jiang Liu raised his hand, and the Fire Tip Spear appeared in his hand. Then, he followed up by casting on himself a Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra and a Strengthening Body-Protection Spell.

At the same time, he threw a Weakness Talisman onto the flood dragon.

"This, this seems a bit off!"

Feeling the effects of the Weakness Talisman, the flood dragon felt an unprecedented state of weakness and muttered darkly to itself.

Feeling that something was wrong, the flood dragon started to falter and was ready to turn around and flee for its life.

However, why would Jiang Liu let such easy Experience Points slip away?

Without any further ado, Jiang Liu leapt forward and pounced directly towards the flood dragon.

"Hmph, if you're seeking death, don't blame me for being unmerciful!" Although it was feeling something was amiss and was faltering, seeing Jiang Liu making a move, the flood dragon summoned its courage and spouted a dire threat, thrusting its single horn at Jiang Liu.

A sweep of the Fire Tip Spear!

With a crack, the single horn on the head of the flood dragon was swept right off.

"Aow..."

An anguished cry. Its hardest horn was swept off in one stroke, and the flood dragon looked at Jiang Liu in horror, its heart trembling.

This was bad; the scripture seeker's strength was even more formidable than it had imagined. It wouldn't do—it needed to flee!

In just one move, the flood dragon knew it was no match and turned to flee for its life.

Thinking of escaping now?

Jiang Liu chased after it without hesitation, stabbing with his Fire Tip Spear and piercing the flood dragon cold-hearted.

A disparity of an entire realm, a cultivation gap nearly ten times.

The dominance of a blue-tier character over a white-tier one.

The crushing superiority of equipment.

Add to that his own buffing enhancements and the curse of the Weakness State.

With so many disparities combined, this Demon King Realm flood dragon was hopelessly outmatched against Jiang Liu.

With one thrust of the Fire Tip Spear, it was impaled, and in Jiang Liu's eyes, its Health Bar was emptied.

Then, the Fire Tip Spear once again swept across, ripping the flood dragon's corpse apart.

Notification: Gained 13,800 Experience Points.

Well, the Experience Points weren't much, but after all, even a mosquito can be a meal.

An effortless act, yet he had gained over 10,000 Experience Points, which was quite good.

"Ah, isn't it good to be alive? Why insist on courting death?" Jiang Liu easily dispatched the flood dragon, and Zhu Bajie sighed with a mix of pity and amazement.

"So weak yet daring to stand out so boldly. This fellow must be the least afraid of death I've ever seen!" Even Sun Wukong shook his head, finding it somewhat ludicrous.

"This isn't a lack of fear of death but stupidity. Can't it use its brain to think? If the master were so easy to capture, would it even get the chance?" Even Sha Wujing, who had always been reticent, couldn't help but speak up, expressing his opinion.

Shaking his head, Jiang Liu too found it laughable. This could be considered the most hard-core demon creature he had encountered on his Journey to the West.

The demon creature acted tough but faced the harshest beatdown.

Impressive presence, indeed, but way too weak strength-wise.

"During the battle at Foutu Mountain, I had no place to even intervene between the two Great Demon factions fighting, yet now, a being of the Demon King Realm is so effortlessly slaughtered by me?"

Although it was just a minor episode for Jiang Liu, when contrasting it with his battle at Foutu Mountain and his current situation, the tremendous leap in strength caused him to nod silently in appreciation.

Indeed, strength and weakness are all relative!

Whoosh!

However, as the flood dragon was executed, a streak of fire suddenly descended from the sky.

"Hey, Nezha, long time no see..." Seeing the fire streak descending from mid-air, Sun Wukong greeted warmly.

But Nezha didn't respond to Sun Wukong's greeting, as if he didn't see him at all. His gaze was fixed on Jiang Liu.

After looking at Jiang Liu for a while, Nezha's gaze moved downward to the Fire Tip Spear in his hand.

From its appearance, Jiang Liu's Fire Tip Spear was exactly identical to his own!

"Holy Monk, it turns out, my Fire Tip Spear is indeed here!"
