Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything
Chapter 911 - 911: The Demon Realm Overlord Bows

Switching hands!

As Jiang Liu used a Duel Contract skill, he stopped his battle with Yan Tieshan.

Under the contract link, his attacks on Yan Tieshan were evidently ineffective. Knowing it was useless, Jiang Liu chose not to make futile efforts.

"Swift Fire Bead!"

The Good Corpse on the side, unharmed by the surrounding Demon Clan attacks, completely ignored their presence and turned his attention to Yan Tieshan. With a flick of his horsetail whisk, a fireball condensed from flames flew towards Yan Tieshan.

Although the Swift Fire Bead is a basic single-target attack skill for the Taoist profession, it was bolstered by the Good Corpse's high level and good equipment.

Thus, seeing the incoming fireball, Yan Tieshan dared not underestimate it at all, wielding his Wolf Fang Club filled with demonic qi, he smashed it towards the fireball.

With a loud bang, the Swift Fire Bead sent by the Good Corpse was smashed to pieces by the Wolf Fang Club.

Yet, Yan Tieshan was clearly not in a good state either, as the attack made his figure sway and step back half a step.

"Lightning Strike Technique!"

"Hurricane Blade!"

"Earth Spike!"

...

Since it was a single-target attack, naturally, the skills released by the Good Corpse turned into single-target spell attacks.

Compared to area-effect skills, these single-target spell skills were naturally more destructive.

Speaking of which, Yan Tieshan's level was a bit higher than the Good Corpse's, about a 6-level difference, which wasn't small.

However, affected by Jiang Liu's Weakness Talisman, Yan Tieshan's strength was naturally reduced, and under the Heavenly Master's Attack Power enhancement...

At this moment, Yan Tieshan was angrily shouting, waving his Wolf Fang Club continuously, smashing each spell to pieces.

But he was still suppressed by the Good Corpse, unable to get closer than ten meters away.

Kiting tactics.

Completely transforming into a Dharma Master, the Good Corpse continuously hurled ranged attack spells, pressing Yan Tieshan, denying him any chance to approach, a standard mage versus warrior combat style.

Although each spell was smashed to pieces by the Wolf Fang Club, the recoil from the explosions caused some injuries to Yan Tieshan.

Although not severe, the rapid frequency of the Good Corpse's spell attacks exacerbated the injuries over time.

Gradually accumulating, the injuries became more serious, and Jiang Liu could see Yan Tieshan's health bar slowly decreasing.

The battle continued, entering an intense phase.

Seeing that the Good Corpse could handle Yan Tieshan with kiting tactics, Jiang Liu turned his attention to the other Demon Clan members.

The eighteen-tiered lotus was Divine Level Quality equipment, floating overhead, casting a hazy yellow light, shielding Jiang Liu entirely.

The Demon Clan members below the Taiyi True Immortal level naturally couldn't break Jiang Liu's lotus defense, allowing him to stand undefeated against many foes.

Similarly, under Jiang Liu's control, one skill after another was continuously unleashed. He even took out the Double Fish Jade Pendant to swap the Five-Thunder Down skill from the Good Corpse.

Brahma Heart Lotus raised high, fierce lightning cascaded down from the sky, its destructive power far surpassing the Lotus Spell, a similar area-effect spell.

As time ticked by, under Jiang Liu's assault, one Demon Clan member after another was slain, decreasing their numbers around him.

Meanwhile, the Good Corpse dealt with Yan Tieshan, bombarding him with a dense array of spell skill attacks, leaving Yan Tieshan seemingly unable to counterattack, only smashing the incoming spells with his Wolf Fang Club.

During this time, worth mentioning is that after fighting for over half an hour, having cast countless skills, the Good Corpse took out two bottles of strong Mana Potions and gulped them down to replenish his mana.

Without using potions, the high-frequency attacks would have left the Good Corpse's mana bar empty long ago.

After battling for more than half an hour, it naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

However, the battle level at the Daluo Golden Immortal and Taiyi True Immortal ranks meant that even cultivators at the Returning Void Realm didn't dare approach to check out the scene.

Otherwise, if caught in the crossfire, they wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Watching for such a long time, the commotion from the battle made it clear to all cultivators that they didn't even have the qualification to spectate, let alone cheer from the sidelines.

More than half an hour passed, and the surrounding Demon Clan members were nearly cleared out, granting some Experience Points in the process.

Meanwhile, Jiang Liu glanced at the Good Corpse, noticing that his health bar had also decreased significantly.

Jiang Liu raised his hand to cast a Guanyin Mantra, restoring his health, then turned his gaze onto Yan Tieshan.

With most of the other Demon Clan members cleared out, now it was naturally time for himself and the Good Corpse to join forces to take down Yan Tieshan.

After half an hour of fighting, Yan Tieshan's health bar had fallen below half, clearly indicating severe injuries.

Looking around, nearly all of his subordinates had died, and even Jiang Liu had come over. It was clear they were joining forces against him, and Yan Tieshan was horrified, wanting to flee.

Crackle!

Just as Yan Tieshan was about to escape, suddenly, a terrifying thunderbolt appeared in the void.

A hideous and terrifying lightning appeared in front of Jiang Liu and the Good Corpse, and quite bizarrely, this lightning was of a dark purple color, extremely deep in hue.

At the same time, a robust old man appeared in front of Jiang Liu and others.

Seeing this old man who appeared, who seemed to be around seventy to eighty years old, with hair and beard all white, yet his bare upper body was taut with muscles, looking at which one could feel a sense of explosive power.

An old man with such a muscular body indeed made one feel astonished.

"Ancestor!" Seeing the old man who appeared, Yan Tieshan's face was full of joy, shouting happily.

"Ancestor? So, is he Yan Tieshan's master?" Seeing Yan Tieshan's reaction, Jiang Liu felt a heavy weight in his heart.

At the same time, his gaze fell upon this old man, and he muttered the interface of characters under his breath.

Yan Tieshan was already a level 81 Daluo Golden Immortal in cultivation, but I wonder how strong this so-called Ancestor might be?

A semi-transparent character screen floated before Jiang Liu.

ID: Ancestor Qilin (Golden).

Gender: Male.

Profession: Qilin.

Level: 90.

Equipment: ...

"A level 90 golden interface? Doesn't this qualify him as a major leader? Moreover, he's one of the ancient three clans, the Qilin!?" Looking at this character screen of Ancestor Qilin, Jiang Liu mumbled secretly in his heart.

This character panel, indicating that this Ancestor Qilin was indeed considered a major leader in the Demon Realm.

No wonder the Demon Clan previously had a sarcastic tone when they realized I didn't recognize Ancestor Qilin.

Jiang Liu stood quietly assessing Ancestor Qilin, and likewise, Ancestor Qilin's gaze also fell on Jiang Liu.

After appraising him up and down, Ancestor Qilin's facial expression suddenly changed slightly.

"You are? Master Xuanzang?" Ancestor Qilin's face subtly changed as he asked Jiang Liu.

"Amitabha, it is indeed I, the humble monk!" Hearing Ancestor Qilin's surprised words, Jiang Liu nodded, naturally admitting it.

"Xuan, Xuanzang...?" Hearing the conversation between Ancestor Qilin and Jiang Liu, the nearby Yan Tieshan's face also changed dramatically, staring at Jiang Liu with wide eyes in disbelief.

Having fought for so long, he hadn't realized the monk he'd been battling against for so long was actually Master Xuanzang?

The legendary center of the great tribulation of the Journey to the West for Scriptures?

"How is it possible? Wasn't Master Xuanzang supposed to be on the Journey to the West for Scriptures long ago? Why would he return to the Great Tang!?" Yan Tieshan found it hard to accept, staring at Jiang Liu in astonishment.

"Amitabha, upon hearing that Jinshan Temple had an incident of Demon Clan invasion, I naturally couldn't stand by idly, hence I turned back mid-way!" Clasping his palms together, he recited a Buddhist prayer, and Jiang Liu opened his mouth to answer.

"Jinshan Temple? Is there anything special about this temple?" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, the nearby Ancestor Qilin asked.

Master Xuanzang said that it was because Jinshan Temple had Demon Clan appearances that he returned hurriedly, not because the Great Tang or Chang'an City had Demon Clan appearances.

Evidently, this so-called Jinshan Temple was most important to him, wasn't it?

"Amitabha, Jinshan Temple has already been destroyed in the recent great battle!" Hearing Ancestor Qilin's inquiry, Jiang Liu responded.

At that, he paused briefly, then continued, "Moreover, the place where I have grown up since childhood is within Jinshan Temple!"

This statement made Ancestor Qilin's face look even worse, while also having an epiphany in his heart.

No wonder Master Xuanzang had returned from the Journey to the West; it turns out that Jinshan Temple was where he grew up, so that makes sense.

"I see, regarding Jinshan Temple, I express my apologies..." After a moment of silence, Ancestor Qilin opened his mouth to speak, directly apologizing to Jiang Liu.

"Ancestor!"

Without even engaging in battle, the ancestor actually apologized voluntarily!? This made Yan Tieshan's expression change unwillingly, staring at him in disbelief.

In the Demon Realm, getting the ancestor to bow and apologize requires at least the cultivation of a Quasi-Saint, right?

However, considering the exceptional identity of Xuanzang, and having heard recently that Manjushri and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva perished at his hands.

Moreover, two of the Four Sovereigns, Empress Qinghua and Emperor of Longevity, had deaths somewhat connected to the Journey to the West for Scriptures team.

Upon thinking of these, Yan Tieshan found it not so strange that the ancestor bowed to apologize?
