Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

The two disdainful demons, both at the cultivation level of a Demon King, chose to turn and flee when faced with Saint Monk Longhai.

However, White Venom King remained calm in the face of Longhai, not because her strength exceeded that of the two disdainful demons; otherwise, she could have directly taken action to capture Xuanzang and leave. Why would she need to stall for time until Longhai arrived?

The reason was that besides her exquisite ability to use poison, White Venom King was also incredibly adept in divination.

Today, after learning that Master Xuanzang was not dead, White Venom King had cast a divination for herself before setting out.

The highest fortune of the divination indicated that her mission would have shocks but no peril and that she could obtain the Flesh of Longevity—therefore, White Venom King proceeded...

It was for this reason, even when facing the two disdainful Demon Kings, White Venom King held firm in her belief; she subdued Princess Gaoyang to buy time until Longhai arrived.

Indeed, as the divination showed, they were no match at all, yet she could exchange Princess Gaoyang for a piece of the Flesh of Longevity...

Regarding Jiang Liu's reply, White Venom King was not surprised. More accurately, the development of events was just as her divination had shown, without a single fault.

"Longhai, since Master Xuanzang has made his choice, why bother being the villain?" With a smile, White Venom King, still clasping Princess Gaoyang's neck, spoke to Longhai.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Xuanzang, no, you must know..." Longhai turned around, his gaze falling on Jiang Liu, he objected.

"Holy Monk, I, I have decided...," Jiang Liu interrupted what Longhai was about to say. Despite his weakened spirit and the constant threat of losing consciousness, his intermittent words revealed a resolute tone.

To exchange a piece of flesh for Princess Gaoyang's safety, Jiang Liu would spare no effort!

As he spoke, Jiang Liu's hand slowly lifted—only he could see his storage space that he withdrew a kitchen knife from, and then he slashed it toward his own arm...

Slap!

However, just as the kitchen knife was about to hit Jiang Liu's arm, suddenly, his wrist was grabbed by someone. The person who acted was Daoji.

"Dao? Daoji?" Even Saint Monk Longhai hadn't forcibly stopped his choice, but Daoji actually took action, which made Jiang Liu raise his head in surprise, looking at him.

"Amitabha, Master Xuanzang, such self-harm surely losses face for the Buddhist Sect," Daoji said solemnly, his eyes seemingly containing endless authority. He spoke in a steady and authoritative tone.

Before Jiang Liu could reply, Daoji's gaze immediately fell on White Venom King, the utmost Yang Buddhist Light bursting forth from him, even more vigorous and vast than that of Saint Monk Longhai: "How dare such a mere White Snake act arrogantly before me?"

"You, who are you? Such vast and pure Buddhist power, you, you are certainly no ordinary monk from the mortal world..." Seeing the tremendous Buddhist Light of Daoji, White Venom King's face showed a look of terror, clutching Princess Gaoyang as she stepped back.

It wasn't just a mere gap in strength, but more importantly, in the face of Daoji, White Venom King felt as though she was facing a natural enemy.

"He is not Daoji! Who is he!?" Although he looked exactly like the Daoji he knew, the entire demeanor and strength were utterly incomparable, Jiang Liu thought in shock.

"This seat, Western Spirit Mountain, Tathagata's Dragon Subduing Arhat of the eighteen Arhats, has subdued many dragons among heaven and earth. You mere Snake Demon, are seeking your own death!" facing the terrified screams of White Venom King, "Daoji" said in a condescending tone.

While speaking, he stretched out his palm and grabbed towards the White Venom King.

"Dragon Subduing Arhat!? Could this guy really be the reincarnation of the Dragon Subduing Arhat?" Jiang Liu murmured to himself upon hearing what "Daoji" said.

It was one thing for Daoji to have the same Buddhist name as the legendary Living Buddha Ji Gong, but he even had nine incense scars, which made Jiang Liu secretly suspect whether he was really the reincarnation of the Dragon Subduing Arhat.

Now, it seemed that at this crucial moment, Daoji's Primordial Spirit had awakened and transformed back into the Dragon Subduing Arhat.

Regardless, since the Dragon Subduing Arhat had appeared, Jiang Liu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Even if it was only the Primordial Spirit, the Dragon Subduing Arhat was after all a transcendental being among the Immortal Gods, certainly not something this Mortal World's Snake Demon could contend with.

Indeed, as the Dragon Subduing had said, bearing the title of Dragon Subduing naturally meant subduing snakes was even more effortless.

"Amitabha, so it is the reincarnation of the Dragon Subduing Arhat, no wonder there is such a Buddhist connection...", hearing the Dragon Subduing Arhat reveal his identity, the nearby Saint Monk Longhai was astonished by Daoji's transformation and suddenly understood.

"No, this can't be..." Watching the Dragon Subduing Arhat's hand reaching toward him, with a palm movement that wasn't fast but felt inevitably unavoidable, White Venom King could only watch in horror as the hand came down.

He had already calculated for himself that this venture would be risky but without peril, that he could successfully taste a piece of the Everlasting Flesh. Why, why had even the Dragon Subduing Arhat appeared?

As the Dragon Subduing reached out his hand, even if it were a Demon King, this white snake seemed to have no ability to resist at all in his palm, and the White Venom King had reverted back to his true form as a white snake, being held by the Dragon Subduing Arhat.

With a forceful squeeze of his palm, the White Venom King, much like an ordinary snake, was effortlessly crushed to death by the Dragon Subduing Arhat.

"Thank you, Dragon Subduing Arhat, for stepping in!" Following the death of the White Venom King, the Saint Monk Longhai expressed his gratitude to the Dragon Subduing Arhat.

"Saint Monk Longhai, there is no need for thanks. Considering our identities, having reincarnated and cultivated again, you are still my master in this life," the Dragon Subduing Arhat responded calmly, returning the gesture.

After Daoji transformed into the Dragon Subduing Arhat and had exchanged greetings with Saint Monk Longhai in the manner of an Arhat, he raised his palm and lifted the nearby unconscious Jiang Liu.

Already affected by the poisonous miasma fog in his mind, and only keeping conscious due to the critical situation of Gaoyang, seeing Daoji transform into the Dragon Subduing Arhat, Jiang Liu sighed in relief. Finding it difficult to resist the effects of the poison fog any longer, he passed out.

"Oh no!" Just as the Dragon Subduing Arhat caught the unconscious Jiang Liu, Saint Monk Longhai, after assisting Gaoyang to rise, let out a cry as his expression drastically changed.

Gaoyang, too, had fallen into unconsciousness. At the spot where White Venom King's nails had gripped her neck, several wounds remained, out of which strands of purplish-red poison gas spread through her body.

"Arhat, Princess Gaoyang is the beloved daughter of the Emperor of Tang and has been severely poisoned. Please, Arhat, help to save her!" Seeing the obvious signs of poisoning in Gaoyang, Longhai spoke urgently.

"Amitabha, the Corrupting Spirit Poison, is beyond my ability to undo. This woman's fate is destined to face this trial. Saint, please take her back to the Imperial Palace," the Dragon Subduing Arhat looked obliquely at Gaoyang supported by Saint Monk Longhai, his expression serene and indifferent.
