Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

"Master, I have found Junior Brother Sha and the others!"

It was Jiang Liu, standing atop a cloud with the Art of Cloud Soaring, who hurried toward the North Sea direction. Soon, from his friends' list, came a message from Sun Wukong.

"Good, Wukong, tell me the location, and try to block the enemy. If you can defeat them, that would be great, but if not, just entangle them and wait for me to arrive!" Jiang Liu spoke to Sun Wukong.

"Alright, Master, understood!"

Sun Wukong sent a reply back to Jiang Liu and, after roughly giving him the location, he closed the chat window, leaped forward, and stood in the path of the giant bird.

"Great Elder Brother!" Upon seeing the arriving Sun Wukong, Sha Wujing and the White Dragon Horse, both seized by the giant bird, cried out in unison with surprise and delight.

"Hey, you stupid bird, release my two disciples at once!" Sun Wukong brandished his golden cudgel as he shouted.

"Hmph, what a naive and stinky monkey!"

The term 'stupid bird' apparently infuriated the giant bird, which let out a cold snort as frosty as ice.

With a flap of its wings, in an instant, a sky-full of black feathers, as hard as mystic iron and dense like a violent rain, shot fiercely towards Sun Wukong.

Watching the oncoming storm of black feathers, as deadly as a rain of arrows, Sun Wukong knew there was no escaping it. Accordingly, he did not even bother to dodge.

He slightly lowered his center of gravity and stood with the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in hand.

Ding ding ding!

A plethora of dense noises rang out, evoking the sense of rain striking upon rocks. These dense black feathers struck Sun Wukong's body but were all deflected by his iron frame.

Despite the barrage of persistent attacks, Sun Wukong seemed unscathed.

"What an indestructible Vajra body!" Observing Sun Wukong, the giant bird evidently recognized his prowess, its eyes narrowing as it let out an admiring comment.

As the sound faded, the black feathers instantly transformed into countless strands of feather thread, winding and layering around Sun Wukong.

Many feathers fell, impossibly tough, yet Sun Wukong's Vajra Indestructible Body feared them not.

However, as more and more feathers transformed into binding threads, Sun Wukong's expression changed.

He attempted to sweep away the threads with his golden cudgel, but like maggots gnawing at bone, the threads not only entwined Sun Wukong's body but even wrapped around the golden cudgel itself.

At this moment, Sun Wukong was like a mighty ox with immense strength, yet mired in a swamp.

No matter how tremendous your strength, it is of no use if there is no room to exert it.

In a matter of moments, the threads encircling Sun Wukong grew more numerous and dense, and his struggles became increasingly feeble.

Clearly, the effort needed to move became more and more exhaustive.

"Great Sage Equalling Heaven? That's all there is to you..."

Shaking its vast wings, the black bird fixed its gaze on Sun Wukong, who was now trapped within its ensnarement, and spoke with a tone of mockery.

"Great Elder Brother..." Witnessing this scene, the captured Sha Wujing's face also shifted in concern.

He had not expected this mysterious demon creature to be so powerful that even the Great Elder Brother was no match for it. What kind of evil demon was this?

Law of Heaven and Earth!

With more and more feather threads twining around him, Sun Wukong's movement became extremely difficult. Resolutely, he revealed his giant ape form through the Law of Heaven and Earth, instantly becoming a hundred feet tall.

Having displayed the Divine Skill of Law of Heaven and Earth, Sun Wukong's form grew even larger, and his strength increased tremendously.

Yet, witnessing this, the bird shot out even more feathers, which transformed into threads to entwine Sun Wukong further.

These threads seemed as resilient as spider silk, extremely tough yet elastic.

Seeing Sun Wukong bound by its threads, while the bird's beak voiced scorn, in reality, the bird had no clue how to defeat him, let alone how to kill him.

The Vajra Indestructible Body Divine Skill is among the hardest to contend with.

With such a Divine Skill, one is almost invulnerable to cuts, chops, lightning, and fire. It's exceedingly difficult to kill, and now it could only bind Sun Wukong but had no way to execute him.

But if it can neither kill nor let go, should it just keep him restrained indefinitely?

…

"Wujing, what's the situation over there now?"

Jiang Liu continued to fly towards the North Sea using the Art of Cloud Soaring, while guessing that Sun Wukong must be in combat and unable to chat, so he sent a message to Sha Wujing instead.

"Master, this giant bird is so powerful, even the Great Elder Brother... the Great Elder Brother is actually trapped!" Not long after Jiang Liu's message, a reply came from Sha Wujing.

"Oh? Even Wukong is no match for it?" Reading the message, Jiang Liu's heart tightened slightly.

He then fully mobilized his strength and flew even more swiftly toward the North Sea.

About twenty minutes later, Jiang Liu finally caught sight of the massive black bird.

And there was Sun Wukong, in his enlarged form through the Law of Heaven and Earth, covered in countless black threads, struggling with all his might.

If it were not for Sun Wukong's perpetual-machine-like durability, anyone else would have already been exhausted and unable to move.

"Character Panel!"

After arriving at this location, Jiang Liu estimated that the resurrection of the Soul Demon had about 20 minutes left to take effect, so he was not in a hurry. His gaze fell on the black bird, and he directly pulled up the character panel of this black bird.

ID: Mysterious Bird (Blue-Level)

Gender: Female.

Profession: Demon.

Level: 83.

Equipment: ...

"Huh? A level 83 blue-level can suppress an 81-level golden Sun Wukong!?" Looking at the level information of this black bird, Jiang Liu was slightly taken aback and inwardly somewhat surprised.

Although it's two levels higher, logically, a golden panel should be able to bridge this two-level gap, right?

However, after glancing at those black feather threads, Jiang Liu pondered for a moment before roughly understanding.

It could only be said that the abilities of this Mysterious Bird must, to some extent, restrain Sun Wukong's abilities, right?

After all, Sun Wukong, who is of the warrior type, should be most afraid of control-type opponents, right?

"Tang Monk!?"

While Jiang Liu was quietly assessing the Mysterious Bird, naturally, the Mysterious Bird also noticed Tang Monk coming over, its eyes gleaming with light.

"Is this another Demon Creature that wants to eat my flesh in the pursuit of Longevity Life?" Observing the demeanor of the Mysterious Bird, Jiang Liu's heart slightly tensed.

At the same time, he took out the Fire Tip Spear from his storage space.

Once the bird released its claws, Little White Dragon and Sha Wujing were let go. With a flap of its gigantic wings, the Mysterious Bird directly lunged at Jiang Liu.

"Ah!?"

Suddenly released, Sha Wujing and Little White Dragon were both momentarily stunned.

What's happening? This big bird had been holding onto the two of them all this time, why did it suddenly let go?

However, regardless of why the black bird had released its claws, it had let go at least, which was a good thing, right?

Little White Dragon and Sha Wujing, who had fallen down, quickly steadied themselves.

Silencing Zen!

Facing a level 83 Demon Creature, naturally, Jiang Liu did not dare to underestimate it. He pointed his Fire Tip Spear at the Mysterious Bird, activating the ability of Silencing Zen, instantly freezing the demonic power within the Mysterious Bird's body.

If it had been in its Taoist Body form, the Mysterious Bird would probably have fallen from the sky once its demonic power was frozen.

But in its original form, even though its demonic power was frozen, the Mysterious Bird still managed to fly, seemingly unaffected on the surface.

Sheep Transformation Technique!

Almost simultaneously following the Silencing Zen, Jiang Liu activated another skill, the Sheep Transformation Technique.

A strange glow passed by, and the black Mysterious Bird instantly transformed into a harmless lamb and fell from the sky.

Healing Holy Hand!

Immediately following, the third skill was activated without the slightest pause, demonstrating Jiang Liu's proficiency with this combination of moves.

Healing Holy Hand descended from the sky, directly heading towards the black Mysterious Bird.

With a thunderous noise, Healing Holy Hand pressed down on the Mysterious Bird, burying it completely into the North Sea.

After the enhancement, the duration of the Healing Holy Hand's skill increased from 20 seconds to 30 seconds, naturally prolonging the control time to 30 seconds as well.

As the Mysterious Bird was suppressed by his own Healing Holy Hand skill, Jiang Liu then turned his attention to Sun Wukong at his side.

Sun Wukong looked like prey caught in a spider's web.

Jiang Liu pointed his Fire Tip Spear at Sun Wukong and simultaneously activated the Dispel Curse skill.

The feather threads that had been binding Sun Wukong immediately loosened and fell away from his body.

"Master, what a good move!"

Having struggled for so long in vain to break free from those feather threads, Sun Wukong was delighted when his master simply pointed and he was set free, and he said so joyfully.

As he spoke, he raised his Ruyi Golden Cudgel and stabbed it toward the Mysterious Bird that was being pressed by the Healing Holy Hand in the North Sea.

"Wait, Wukong, don't be hasty!" However, seeing Sun Wukong's action, Jiang Liu called out to stop him.

Jiang Liu descended from above, slowly lowering himself.

Sun Wukong's Golden Cudgel did not hit the Mysterious Bird but instead held back the waters of the North Sea, revealing the Mysterious Bird pressed at the bottom of the sea.

"Amitabha, I must ask you, without cause or reason, why did you attack my two disciples?" Jiang Liu's gaze fell on the Mysterious Bird as he spoke.

As Jiang Liu spoke, Sha Wujing and Little White Dragon also looked attentively at the Mysterious Bird.

Clearly, they also found it perplexing, not understanding why the Mysterious Bird had attacked them?
