Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Chapter 66 Divine Skills No Match for Fate



In Great Tang, despite a coexistence between the Human Clan and Demon Clan maintaining a certain balance, the blood feud spanning generations between them was undeniable.

Therefore, the appearance of a disciple marked with twelve fragrant scars meant the Demon Clan would seize the opportunity to eliminate this threat while they were still weak. This was within reason.

That's why when he simply traveled from Chang'an City to Jinshan Temple, even the Saint Monk Longhai insisted that the Buddhist Palanquin and Master Huihai accompany him for protection…

However, if they merely wanted to kill him, wouldn't any Demon Marshal suffice?

Yet it was the Demon Kings who had come. Not only did two miserable Demon Kings appear in person, but the White Snake Demon King had also come with intentions of rivalry, which was completely unreasonable.

"White Venom King, what is your purpose here?" the Werewolf King, transformed into a woman, stared at the Demon King transformed into a White Snake and asked sternly.

Even though he was teamed up with two Great Demon Kings and wasn't afraid of her, he had to admit that a master of poison, capable of defeating the many and the strong with less, was not a rarity.

And the poison of the White Venom King was ranked among the top throughout Great Tang.

"What a joke, if you can come, why can't I? If you have your reasons for coming, I naturally have mine too," the White Venom King, holding Princess Gaoyang's neck, coyly giggled at the two Demon Kings.

"You knew about the Everlasting Flesh too? How did you find out!?" At this point, how could the two beleaguered kings not realize the White Venom King's goal? They asked in shock.

"You were able to intoxicate the Blood Tiger King and pry this news from his lips; do you really think there are walls in this world that don't leak?"

"Everlasting Flesh!?" Jiang Liu, overhearing the conversation among the Demon Kings, was inwardly shocked and soon came to realize.

No wonder the three Great Demon Kings had shown up and were subtly competing. It was because of the news that his flesh granted immortality.

A single Tribulus Fruit had made the Blood Tiger King and King of Flood Dragon fight to the death, so for his immortal flesh, it was no surprise that these three Great Demon Kings had mobilized.

As Jiang Liu pondered, a pinkish poison mist spewed from the mouth of the White Venom King, enveloping and surrounding the two beleaguered demons.

"White Venom King, your poison might be formidable, but we are all in the realm of Demon Kings. Do you really think you can take on both of us alone and snatch Xuanzang away? You're underestimating us too much," said the Wolf King ominously as they looked at the restricting poison mist around them.

"How would I know if I don't try?" the White Venom King, clearly confident in his poison, responded.

Just as the three Demon Kings were about to confront each other, Jiang Liu stepped forward two paces, interjecting, "Wait, the three of you, I have a question—how did you learn of my flesh granting immortality?"

Although the original transcripts mentioned it, Jiang Liu was curious, as how could such a rumor have spread without cause?

"You don't know?" The question from Jiang Liu took the three Great Demon Kings by surprise, all staring at him in astonishment. Your next chapter is on empire

"Know what?" Jiang Liu appeared utterly baffled.

"During the battle at Foutu Mountain that day, didn't the Blood Tiger King tear off a piece of flesh from you?" the White Venom King, not in a hurry to fight, asked Jiang Liu.

Touching his chest where his wound had long since healed, Jiang Liu nodded, "Indeed, it was so; could it be because of that, his lifespan increased?"

"Correct, since then, the Blood Tiger King's vitality surged, and he became younger, rumored to have increased his lifespan by five hundred years!" the White Venom King nodded and answered.

"So it's true, my flesh indeed can increase lifespan?"

At this, Jiang Liu finally understood.

"Wait, your name is White Venom King, right? Those two captured me because they want the Flesh of Longevity I possess, but why are you holding Gaoyang hostage?" Jiang Liu asked, looking at Gaoyang being choked by the White Venom King, partly out of concern for Gaoyang's safety and partly baffled.

"Hmm?" As Jiang Liu spoke, the Werewolf King, who had transformed into a woman, raised her eyebrows in surprise and also sensed something wrong while looking at White Venom King.

Yes, it made sense for them to capture Xuanzang, but why hold Gaoyang? What use was she?

"Hahaha, Master Xuanzang, your mind is indeed clear. Do you think I explained about the Flesh of Longevity and deliberately blocked their way to stall for time without a reason?" White Venom King laughed charmingly after hearing Jiang Liu's words.

Giving a distraught look, White Venom King said, "They say divine skills cannot defy fate. Do you two think only our Demon Clan knew that Master Xuanzang had reappeared?"

"Could it be..." the two distraught demons' complexions drastically changed.

Just then, as if to confirm the Demon Kings' speculation, brilliant Buddhist Light appeared on the horizon.

At the same time, a resounding dragon chant echoed between heaven and earth, the utterly strong and yang sound of the dragon chant alarmed all three Demon Kings.

"That old baldy from Longhai is here! Run!" Turning their heads to see the Buddhist Light appearing in the sky, the two werewolf demons no longer cared about the pink miasmatic poison gas in front of them, activated their demon energy, and burst out.

White Venom King, with one hand gripping Gaoyang and the other waving, released a surge of poisonous energy that swept through like a tsunami.

"White Venom King, you, a member of the Demon Clan, actually colluding with humans, you, you..." Though they were fleeing rapidly, the poison was like bone maggots; they still inhaled quite a lot, their heads feeling dizzy and muddled. The two werewolf demons cursed in shock and anger.

"Keep cursing. I have already foreseen that today you two will undoubtedly die, while I shall enjoy the Flesh of Longevity, hahaha..." White Venom King laughed triumphantly.

The radiant Buddhist Light descended from the sky, the resounding dragon chant suppressed them, already poisoned, the Wolf King and Demon King, their heads dizzy and muddled, were blasted away by the dense and yang dragon chant, vomiting demon blood.

Jiang Liu, too, had inhaled the poison, felt dizzy and muddled, and fell to the ground, barely able to stand, but his gaze swept over the two werewolf demons and could see that their health bars were more than half depleted.

"Xuanzang, you're really unharmed, that's great," as the Buddhist Light receded, Saint Monk Longhai and Daoji descended from the sky, Longhai delightfully exclaimed seeing Daoji helping Jiang Liu up.

"Save... save Gaoyang..." afflicted by the miasmatic poison, Jiang Liu felt dizzy and seemed about to pass out, but he forced himself to stay conscious and spoke with Daoji's support. With Gaoyang in the grasp of a Demon King, how could Jiang Liu feel at ease?

"Rest assured, I am here," Longhai reassured, patting Jiang Liu's shoulder and speaking softly.

Having Daoji look after Jiang Liu carefully, Longhai turned back and fixed his gaze on White Venom King: "Amitabha, Benefactor White Venom, Princess Gaoyang is the beloved daughter of the Emperor of Tang. I advise you to release her, otherwise, Emperor Tang will surely level your Mountain of Ten Thousand Snakes to the ground."

"Hehe, Longhai, don't scare me. Before coming here, I had already dismissed all the demons from Mountain of Ten Thousand Snakes. Of course, the life or death of the princess is in your hands. I only want one thing.

If you agree, not a single hair on Princess Gaoyang will be harmed; otherwise, I would like to see if your Great Buddha Temple and the Imperial Court can resolve the legendary Corrupting Spirit Poison that can kill immortals."

The mention of Corrupting Spirit Poison altered Saint Monk Longhai's expression.

"What do you want?" Longhai asked, his face somber.

"Everyone says that Master Xuanzang's flesh grants Longevity Life. This king wants to taste it. Hehe, a piece of flesh for Princess Gaoyang's life, worth it, wouldn't you say?"

"Impossible!" Saint Monk Longhai, his face as still as water.

Jiang Liu, summoning all his strength and struggling to keep alert, shouted:

"I, I agree..."
