Chapter 352: Chapter 353 Let Master Perform Universal Salvation on this Monster

"Do you think you can subdue me just like that?"

The demon of Yellow Flower Temple roared, although he was injured now, it wasn’t enough for him to be completely subdued.

Sun Wukong brought down his staff, and with it a powerful aura.

Boom!

The Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit twisted its body, dodging the strike from Sun Wukong’s staff.

"Haha!" the Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit laughed maniacally, "Think you can take me down? Dream on!"

Sun Wukong snorted coldly and replied, "If that’s the case, then don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

The Jingu Bang in Sun Wukong’s hand, in an instant, swept toward the Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit, transforming into countless staff shadows that surrounded the creature.

At the same time, these staff shadows struck down simultaneously.

Feeling the oppressive killing intent coming from all around, the Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit finally realized the danger.

A profound fear surged from the depths of its soul, like a fountain, enveloping the creature in a profound fear; having cultivated for a millennium, it naturally did not wish to die just like this.

The Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit, gripped by fear, opened its mouth and screamed desperately, "No! Don’t kill me!"

But it was already too late, its words still hanging in the air.

The countless staff shadows fell in an instant.

The air resonated with thunderous roars as they descended upon the Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit.

The creature had already been seriously wounded by its own golden light.

Now it was incapable of dodging, and a series of dull thuds could be heard.

The powerful staff shadows struck, crushing the Multi-eyed Centipede’s tough outer shell, and blood and fluid sprayed out in torrents.

The intense pain caused the creature to let out heart-wrenching howls.

Although the shell of the Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit appeared hard, its defensive strength was not very impressive and could not withstand the Jingu Bang wielded by Sun Wukong.

Streams of blood shot from within its body, turning into a rain of blood that drifted down.

"Roar!" The Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit opened its ghastly mouth, letting out a mournful scream with pain and, more overwhelmingly, an abject fear of death.

Pain caused the gargantuan body of the centipede to twist wildly in the air, while copious amounts of blood continued to spurt from the wounds, staining the building beneath with blood.

As blood continued to flow, the life force of the Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit was being gradually sapped away.

Finally, after a last feeble wail, the body of the Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit plummeted, crashing into the blood-soaked building below, reducing it to rubble.

Sun Wukong, observing the ease with which the Centipede Spirit was slain, shook his head and remarked, "This centipede’s shell is dark and glossy, resembling a suit of armor, who would have thought it’s actually all for show."

Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes, observing the Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit lying among the ruins, its body still trembling, clearly not completely dead. He quickly lifted the Jingu Bang.

But then he lowered the staff again.

"I thought it was dead, but if it’s still alive, that’s good. My master and two brothers have been poisoned. If there’s no antidote, they would truly be dead,"

Sun Wukong muttered to himself, then turned and started walking towards the Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit.

Sun Wukong thought for a moment, found it reasonable, and followed.

There, the Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit, lying in the wreckage, shivered continuously as blood oozed slowly from its wounds.

Though it was not yet dead, it was on its last breath and clearly did not have long to live.

Seeing Sun Wukong approaching, the Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit trembled even more violently, managed to open its mouth, and said with difficulty, "Spare me... Great Saint... spare my life!"

Sun Wukong looked at him coldly and said, "If you want to live, it’s quite simple, just hand over the antidote first!"

The Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit had cultivated for thousands of years and had gone through immense hardships to attain its cultivation level, naturally unwilling to die like this, ending its millennium of cultivation in vain.

It didn’t want to die, and it was obviously afraid. With its current situation, the only way to live was to obediently comply.

The Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit clearly understood this, thus did not dare to pull any tricks, nor dare to make any demands from Sun Wukong.

It slowly opened its massive jaws, and a Mutton Fat Jade Bottle gently flew out from its mouth towards Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong caught the jade bottle, his brows furrowed, followed by a sneer, "I doubt you’d have the guts to trick me!"

Saying this, he turned into a streak of golden light and dove into the living room not far off.

To detoxify Xuanzang and the others.

The Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit knew that Xuanzang and the others had some level of cultivation, and ordinary poison might not affect them, thus the poison it used was refined with great care and was extremely potent.

If a mortal were to merely smell it, they would die instantly.

Even immortals would perish if they consumed even the slightest bit.

This Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit had administered several doses of poison to Xuanzang and the others.

Therefore, even Zhu Bajie and the Sand Monk, whose cultivation levels were not weak, were instantly felled by the poison, and their lives hung by a thread.

As for Xuanzang, his mortal body was even less capable of resisting such a virulent poison.

Luckily, he had recovered some of his cultivation on the road, and combined with the power of incense and fire he received, he managed to cling to life; otherwise, he would have been long gone by now.

Sun Wukong took the antidote and first administered it to Xuanzang, then gave one pill each to Zhu Bajie and Sand Monk.

Before long, Zhu Bajie and Sand Monk were the first to come to, retching violently.

Not only did they vomit up the red dates and tea they had consumed, but they also expelled streams of black blood.

After the vomiting subsided, both of them gradually improved. They were still completely drained of strength, but the poison had been neutralized.

However, Xuanzang, with his poor constitution, took quite some time before he suddenly began to vomit, which lasted for a good while before stopping.

Xuanzang felt as if he might vomit his entire stomach and intestines; the discomfort was extreme.

Seeing Xuanzang finally awake, Sun Wukong excitedly called out, "Master, you’re awake! How do you feel now?"

At that moment, Xuanzang felt miserable all over and had not an ounce of strength. He moved his lips but made no sound, then he nodded slightly and shook his head gently, his brows deeply furrowed and his forehead still covered in cold sweat.

Sun Wukong couldn’t grasp Xuanzang’s meaning and quickly checked his pulse, saying with a smile, "Master, the poison has been cured. Your body is just weak now; with two days’ rest, you’ll be as good as new."

As for Zhu Bajie and Sand Monk, Sun Wukong didn’t even bother to check on them.

With their great strength, there was no doubt they would recover after a short rest.

Then Sun Wukong turned and walked out of the house, glancing at the Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit, who was at death’s door.

The Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit felt Sun Wukong’s gaze and shivered even more uncontrollably.

The Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit opened its mouth and pleaded, "Great Saint, spare my life! I’ve already given you the antidote. I’ll do anything you ask if you spare me."

Sun Wukong looked at the Multi-eyed Centipede lying prostrate on the ground but remained silent.

Seeing Sun Wukong so close, the Multi-eyed Centipede couldn’t help but shudder with cold.

Before Sun Wukong could speak, Zhu Bajie suddenly charged over, lifting his nine-toothed rake and cursing loudly, "This damned demon almost poisoned Old Pig to death! I’ll smash you to bits!"

While cursing, Zhu Bajie raised his rake and brought it down toward the Multi-eyed Centipede’s head. The centipede let out a shriek of terror, "Immortal, have mercy, Great Saint, save me!"

Crying out, it rolled to the side with all its might.

With a "boom!" Zhu Bajie’s rake struck the ground, blasting a huge pit; the shock waves flung the massive body of the Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit into the air.

It flew several meters before crashing down heavily. The Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit was already severely injured.

This fall left it dizzy and disoriented, but fortunately, it avoided its vitals. Otherwise, a direct hit to the head would have certainly been fatal.

Zhu Bajie, having missed with his rake, was about to strike again when Sun Wukong stopped him.

"Brother Monkey, just let me kill him. Why are you stopping me?"

Zhu Bajie, seeing Sun Wukong blocking him, couldn’t help but raise his voice and speak.

Sun Wukong said with a smile, "Fool, killing this demon would only vent your anger. Besides, that strike just now was quite satisfying. I think we should leave him to Master; let’s spare his life for now!"

Zhu Bajie asked, puzzled, "Brother Monkey, are you serious? You want Master to grant Universal Salvation to this demon too?"

"Of course. It’s better to have such a demon help us than to let it simply die!"

"Wukong is right!"

At that moment, Sand Monk supported Xuanzang as they approached.

Even though Xuanzang had recovered, his face was still somewhat pale.

"Master, how are you feeling?"

Sun Wukong asked Xuanzang, looking somewhat puzzled.

Xuanzang glanced at Sun Wukong and politely replied, "Much better!"

"Since Master has come out, we’ll leave this demon to you!"

Sun Wukong said to Xuanzang.

"Alright, I shall grant this demon Universal Salvation," Xuanzang said, looking at the Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit.

Sand Monk supported Xuanzang as they walked towards the Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit.

The Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit, having heard that Xuanzang could grant Universal Salvation to demons, knew that if it were to happen, its doom was inescapable!

"Please, Elder, spare me. I won’t dare do it again; let me go!" the Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit hastily said.

Unfortunately for it, Xuanzang paid no heed but instead turned to Sand Monk and said, "Help me prepare a vegetarian meal. I will soon be able to grant Universal Salvation to this demon!"

Sand Monk helped Xuanzang to sit cross-legged, then glanced at the demon and said, "Master, the vegetarian meal will be ready shortly!"

With that, Sand Monk went off to cook.

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong, having looked at the demon pleading with him, shook his head.

"Old Sun will go help too. Master, you finish up quickly, and be careful that fool doesn’t eat all the food!"

With that, Sun Wukong also headed towards the Daoist Temple.

It was at this moment that the Multi-eyed Centipede Spirit, seeing Zhu Bajie, Sand Monk, and Sun Wukong all go inside, leaving Xuanzang alone, had a flash of cold light in its eyes.
