Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

A hall that doesn't seem particularly grand, even slightly dilapidated, but it exudes a sense of antiquity.

Beneath the hall, the thick lines resemble some sort of Sanskrit, faintly revealing the character for "demon," suppressed underneath by this hall. This is the Demon-Suppressing Hall, suppressing a Demon Domain below it.

"Xuanzang, Daoji, be extremely careful when you enter. The demons inside are treacherous, cunning, brutal, and bloodthirsty. Over the years, countless outstanding disciples of our sect have lost their lives there," Saint Monk Longhai cautioned outside the Demon-Suppressing Hall, after all, both disciples were too important to the Buddhist Sect, neither could afford to be lost inside.

"Master, rest assured, your disciple understands," After two days of healing and rest, Daoji's injuries had healed, and he nodded solemnly.

"Holy Monk, when do we go in?" As for Jiang Liu beside him, he seemed a bit impatient.

Practicing Heavenly Dragon Zen Sound might also increase Experience Points, but just over 300 points per hour. To Jiang Liu, the speed of gaining Experience Points was too slow. Given a monster-farming sacred place like the Demon-Suppressing Hall, naturally, he could hardly wait to get in.

Seeing Jiang Liu's impatience, it didn't seem like he was about to face a life-or-death crisis, but rather as if he were about to go treasure hunting, causing the corner of Longhai's mouth to twitch slightly.

However, seeing that Daoji was carrying a pack while Jiang Liu had empty hands, he said, "Xuanzang, don't you need to prepare before entering the Demon-Suppressing Hall? If you're to stay for a few days, shouldn't you get ready food and daily necessities?"

"Don't worry, Holy Monk, I've prepared everything," Jiang Liu replied without going into too much detail. Naturally, he had stored all the essential supplies in his storage space.

Since Jiang Liu spoke so, Longhai didn't press further and raised his hand, gently pointing forward.

The great doors of the Demon-Suppressing Hall slowly opened, and from outside looking in, one couldn't see clearly into the dimly lit interior. Immediately afterward, Jiang Liu and Daoji entered the Demon-Suppressing Hall one after another.

Once inside, they could see that the hall was filled with a mist that seemed to be there yet not, hampering one's vision, making it hard to see far.

From the outside, the Demon-Suppressing Hall didn't appear to be very large, but once inside, they realized it seemed to form its own space, as walking hundreds of meters forward had not brought them to any walls.

"Senior Brother, I've heard that the demons inside the hall are cruel and bloodthirsty. We must support each other to get through," Daoji said in a low voice, remaining vigilant of his surroundings.

"Indeed, that's a given…" Looking at Daoji by his side, Jiang Liu nodded as well.

If they were to enter combat, he would be his teammate. Naturally, in a team state fighting the enemy, they had to take care of each other.

Chirp chirp...

After walking for about fifteen minutes, suddenly, a sharp noise came from within the mist, like a steel needle scraping on iron, extremely unpleasant to the ears.

Then, a black beast resembling a hyena with a single horn emerged from the thick fog.

"This guy sure is ugly," Daoji commented as he eyed the two creatures.

The monster did not respond to Daoji's words, its greedy eyes fixated on the two men, and then with a leap, it pounced towards them.

"Can't speak, huh? Looks like it's just the lowest rank of monster," Daoji mocked, observing that the hyena-like creature did not verbally retaliate, he murmured softly.

As he spoke, he lifted his finger, and an image of a lotus appeared at its tip. Then, a Lotus Finger Power shot out like a silken ribbon towards the creature.

With a puff, the Finger Power instantly pierced through the brain of the creature, causing it to fall to the ground, twitch for a few moments, and then lie still.

Notification: Gained 25 Experience Points, 4 gold.

Teamed up with Daoji, Jiang Liu did nothing initially, but as soon as Daoji killed the monster, a system prompt appeared, and Jiang Liu nodded in satisfaction. Indeed, teaming up to slay monsters was the best way to earn Experience Points.

Moving forward, single-horned monsters resembling hyenas became more frequent. It was apparent that the two had ventured into a monster colony within the Demon-Suppressing Hall.

At first, Jiang Liu was happy to let Daoji take the lead while he simply reaped the Experience Points. As the number of hyenas increased, sometimes ten or eight at a time, Jiang Liu had to join the fight.

"Heh heh heh, humans, did another two baldies come here to be our meal?" After Jiang Liu and Daoji had slain dozens of monsters, sinister voices finally spoke up.

Out of the dense fog, several large figures slowly emerged. They were still hyenas, but these were far larger than the ones they'd initially encountered.

The ones they'd met before were only the size of dogs, but these were as large as Fierce Tigers, baring their teeth, their eyes filled with greed.

"They can speak human language? Eight monsters!" Daoji's expression grew solemn upon seeing these talking hyena monsters.

Solo fights wouldn't be a problem, but facing eight all at once was a different story.

"Monsters that speak are demons, so these hyena monsters are around level 10-20?" Jiang Liu was serious, but mostly excited.

After killing so many minions, it was time for some more worthy monsters.

"Senior brother, it seems we're in for a tough battle," Daoji said, gripping his Chant Beads and activating the power of Arhat Fist as he stood beside Jiang Liu.

"A tough battle? I'd just call it a bit of a nuisance..." Jiang Liu responded confidently, compared to Daoji's solemnity.

Although he might be slightly behind in level, he had plenty of Skills and various Equipment that enhanced his strengths. To Jiang Liu, these monsters were just experience on legs.

"Attack together, eat them!" The monsters didn't give Jiang Liu and Daoji much chance to talk. Drool dripping from their mouths, one particularly huge hyena, strong as an ox, roared, and all eight charged at them.

Swift Fire Bead!

Thanks to the passive effect of the Redwood Ring, which doubled the damage of the first attack, Jiang Liu naturally used his strongest single-target Attack Skill.

A fireball the size of a washbowl blasted out, exploding on one of the hyenas, and amidst its yelps, the creature landed on the ground, charred.

In Jiang Liu's eyes, the Health Bar of this hyena dropped by more than half instantly.

"Starry Sky Spread!" As the remaining monsters closed in, Jiang Liu yanked off the Sandalwood Prayer Beads from his neck, scattering the 108 Buddha Beads in a fan shape that hit and repelled all the hyena monsters.

Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Liu sprung forward, not retreating but advancing towards the charred hyena, lifting his Demon Subduing Staff, and smashing it down on the hyena's head.

The Health Bar emptied in an instant, and the hyena let out a half cry of distress before collapsing and remaining motionless.

The battle had just started. Out of eight monsters, Jiang Liu swiftly slew one.
