Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything
Chapter 1079 - 1079: Invincible

Seeing his Jingu Bang being directly taken away by the elder, Sun Wukong's eyes narrowed slightly.

His Jingu Bang weighs over ten thousand catties; it's not something just anyone can lift. The fact that this elder could take it in one motion signifies that he is indeed no ordinary person.

However, since his Jingu Bang was bound to the Soul Gem, Sun Wukong didn't have any worries at all.

With a slight thought, he controlled the Jingu Bang to return to his hand.

With the Soul Gem bound, his exclusive weapon, no matter where it went, Sun Wukong could retrieve it with restraint.

"Hmm?"

However, when Sun Wukong focused his mind to retrieve his Jingu Bang, his expression changed.

According to the binding of the Soul Gem, there should be a soul connection between him and the Jingu Bang, and he should be able to sense its presence and retrieve it wherever it might be.

But now, he could not sense the presence of Jingu Bang at all?

It felt as if his Jingu Bang had completely disappeared.

"This is impossible!" Ever since the soul binding, such a thing had never occurred, and Sun Wukong found it hard to believe.

"You old man, where have you taken my Jingu Bang!?" Originally calm, Sun Wukong was now a bit anxious and urgently shouted at the elder.

"Ha, this is really funny. You yourself agreed to use the iron rod as compensation for me and now that I've taken it, you are anxious?" The elder with hair and beard as white as snow said with a sneer upon hearing Sun Wukong's words and seeing his impatient demeanor.

"Zhi zhi zhi..."

Indeed, Sun Wukong was truly anxious now, scratching his ears and cheeks, glaring at the elder in front of him. If it wasn't for his own guilt at the moment, Sun Wukong could not resist taking action.

"Wukong, calm down a bit!" Seeing Sun Wukong like this, Jiang Liu stepped forward a little and spoke to him.

Then, Jiang Liu's gaze also fell on this elder, having just opened the character panel of the opponent, Jiang Liu already knew the elder's identity.

With a humble and courteous manner, Jiang Liu slightly bowed and saluted, saying: "This elder, we were indeed at fault just now, but the iron rod is my disciple's weapon, crucial for slaying demons on our journey to the west. I hope you can show mercy! We, disciples and master, could compensate with something else!"

"Something else? No, I have taken a liking to this iron rod!" The elder was not agreeable and shook his head, refusing.

"Master, why bother saying so much to him, aren't they just some broken flowers and grasses? He is extorting us; since this old man is like this, I, Old Sun, must teach him well!" Having lost his Jingu Bang, Sun Wukong was naturally anxious and quickly spoke without waiting for Jiang Liu to finish.

As soon as the words fell, Sun Wukong raised his fist and punched towards the old man.

Just for stepping on a few flowers and grasses, he took away the Jingu Bang; naturally, Sun Wukong felt extorted.

"Wukong, wait..."

The most powerful Quasi-Saint, Kong Xuan, himself stepped down; was it that easy to deal with? Seeing Sun Wukong's raised fist, Jiang Liu shouted.

However, Sun Wukong had no intention of stopping and was already in front of Kong Xuan.

Then, facing Sun Wukong's straightforward punch, the elder, transformed by Kong Xuan, raised his hand and accurately grasped Sun Wukong's wrist.

Then, with a twist of the waist, due to the difference in physique, it was like slamming a rag doll and directly smashed Sun Wukong onto the ground.

Logically, with Sun Wukong's Vajra Indestructible Body, even if the ground cracked, he shouldn't have been harmed.

However, this smash to the ground didn't seem to cause much damage to the earth, but Sun Wukong felt dizzy and dazed.

"Monkey Brother..." Though he usually bickered with Sun Wukong, seeing Sun Wukong being subdued so easily, Zhu Bajie was both shocked and anxious, and after a shout, he rushed up with his Supreme Treasure Golden Rake.

Naturally, Sha Wujing at the side wouldn't stand by.

Seeing his disciples unite to attack, Jiang Liu opened his mouth but couldn't stop them, finally only sighing helplessly.

Well, since all the disciples were getting involved, Jiang Liu decided to see just how strong Kong Xuan was.

Since he transformed into an elder, it was apparent he didn't want to reveal his identity; naturally, he wouldn't use the Five-Colored Divine Light, right?

With a thought, Jiang Liu raised his hand, and a Guanyin Mantra fell on Sun Wukong, the aura permeated into Sun Wukong, instantly restoring a substantial portion of his Health Point Value.

At the same time, Jiang Liu raised his hand, casting the Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra and Strengthening Body-Protection Spell onto Sun Wukong, significantly increasing his power.

"I'll help too..." Jiang Liu's White Dragon Horse under him also shouted and, immediately, transformed into a red and white Five-Clawed Divine Dragon to pounce on the elder.

Facing a large number of enemies, with Jiang Liu and his companions joining forces in their attack, the old man's expression didn't change in the slightest. He merely raised his fist and then swung it down onto Sun Wukong's head once more.

With a crack, the fist landed on Sun Wukong's head, causing him to fall face-first onto the ground in a comical fashion, significantly reducing his health bar.

In a dazed state, he seemed unable to get up for quite some time.

Right after Sun Wukong, the old man's actions continued without pause, as he charged toward Zhu Bajie and the others.

Without any unnecessary words, it was truly like taking down one after the other, as Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and even Little White Dragon were each struck on the head by the old man.

Then, they lay motionless on the ground.

"Alright, you won't be an exception either!" After a few moves, having knocked them all unconscious, the old man moved again, arriving in front of Jiang Liu.

As he spoke, he raised his fist and aimed to strike Jiang Liu.

Seeing the incoming fist, Jiang Liu's expression changed slightly, and he immediately cast the Vajra Mantra skill on himself.

In the state of the Great Perfection layer of the Vajra Mantra, he could exempt 80% of the damage from the next four single-target attacks.

With a crack, however, the old man's fist landed directly on Jiang Liu's head, and the 80% exemption effect of the Vajra Mantra seemed to have no effect at all.

Jiang Liu felt as if his head had been hammered fiercely. His eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground, completely unconscious.

"This, this…" The White Mouse Demon looked around at everyone, including Jiang Liu, who had all fallen unconscious. A feeling of despair settled in White Mouse Demon's heart.

Such a powerful adversary was definitely beyond what he could handle, but could he just run away like this? He probably couldn't even manage to escape, right?

"You, you cannot harm Master Xuanzang…"

Even though he knew he was no match at all, the White Mouse Demon spread his arms in front of the unconscious Jiang Liu, guarding him, and seriously watched the old man in front of him.

"Oh? Aren't you afraid of death? Even they are not my match; killing you would be as easy as lifting a finger..." The old man was slightly surprised, looking at the White Mouse Demon who stood guarding Jiang Liu, and asked.

"I, I'm certainly afraid of death, but, but I can't just stand by and watch you kill the Holy Monk!" Facing the old man, the White Mouse Demon's face showed a frightened expression, his words were somewhat stuttered, but he firmly stood in front of Jiang Liu, showing no intention of turning away to escape.

"Rest assured, I have no intention of killing them…" Seeing the White Mouse Demon standing resolutely with arms spread open, unwilling to retreat, the old man shook his head slightly and said.

Speaking, the old man turned around, moving to sit cross-legged on a small hill not far from Flower Valley.

Sitting cross-legged, the old man slightly closed his eyes as if dozing off, yet as if cultivating.

But the White Mouse Demon knew that as long as the old man opened his eyes, he could clearly see what was happening on their side, so there was absolutely no opportunity to escape, let alone fleeing with Master Xuanzang and the others.

Although escape was impossible, as long as the old man had no intention of killing, the White Mouse Demon's heart settled a little.

Bending down, he started taking care of Jiang Liu, who had only fainted, indicating there was no life-threatening danger.

...

It was unclear how much time had passed before the unconscious Jiang Liu slowly opened his eyes.

Since he was lying down, Jiang Liu saw the starlit sky as soon as he opened his eyes.

Rubbing his head, Jiang Liu slowly sat up, while looking around.

Sun Wukong and the others still appeared unconscious, lying not far away, and he found himself still in that Flower Valley.

"Holy Monk? You're awake? That's really wonderful!" Seeing Jiang Liu waking from unconsciousness, the White Mouse Demon approached and said.

"How long was I unconscious?" Looking at the sky, Jiang Liu realized he had been out for quite some time, and asked the White Mouse Demon.

"Holy Monk, you were unconscious for about three or four Chinese hours!" White Mouse Demon replied.

"Three or four Chinese hours? About seven hours, right?" Hearing the White Mouse Demon's reply, Jiang Liu nodded knowingly.

Immediately, Jiang Liu raised his hand and activated the Healing Holy Hand skill.

In the void, an indestructible holy object appeared, then descended directly.

An invisible wave spread out, sweeping over Sun Wukong and the others, quickly restoring their health bars.

As the Healing Holy Hand skill was activated, the old man on the hill opened his eyes and looked over.
