Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao

Xu Jianglin raised his head calmly and looked in the direction of the incoming sword light, revealing a sinister smile as he said, "Oh! It seems there are still some who are foolish enough to dare assassinate me. Don't you fear my army tearing you into pieces?"

"Demon, boasting like that won't hurt your tongue, will it? How could your ordinary minions ever stand a chance against my brother and me? We have already set up an Illusion Array around this area; in their eyes, you are still in your tent reading."

Xu Jianglin burst into laughter and said, "Knowing that I am a Demon, you still dared to come close to me. Should I praise your bravery or mock your ignorance?"

A powerful aura emanated from Xu Jianglin's frail body, instantly instilling a great terror in several people, as if a ferocious beast had set its sights on them.

"Stop the nonsense, take my attack!" Realizing that the person before them was not easy to deal with, the Chen brothers decided to strike first, employing their proudest combined technique.

The brothers were twins with a deep understanding of each other. Thus, they could combine their techniques to form a more powerful spell, a skill that made them famous in Great Chen.

A massive Fire Dragon appeared out of thin air and charged towards Xu Jianglin.

With a loud bang, sparks flew in all directions. However, when the flames dissipated, the group was shocked to see that Xu Jianglin had received the technique without a scratch on him, not even his robe was slightly damaged.

"Is that all you've got? I'm quite disappointed!" No sooner had he spoken than Xu Jianglin instantly moved next to the Chen brothers, reaching out for their chests.

A streak of Sword light flashed, leaving a white mark on Xu Jianglin's wrist and successfully blocking his attack, allowing the Chen brothers to escape the battlefield.

"Gosh, what speed! Just what kind of Demon is this, so troublesome!" the Chen brothers exclaimed, realizing in that instant of confrontation that Xu Jianglin was no ordinary demon; probably only those legendary Demon Kings possessed such strength.

But by then they were in too deep to retreat, and gauging by Xu Jianglin's demeanor, he was unlikely to let them leave alive.

"Attack!" Xu Ziming's call sounded the charge, and in an instant, Sword light, spells, and Talismans all surged towards Xu Jianglin.

Xu Jianglin roared, and his clothes ripped apart instantly. In a matter of moments, he transformed into a werewolf-like creature, devoid of fur but covered in shiny black scales glowing faintly.

When the Sword light and spells struck Xu Jianglin's body, a dark glow flashed on his scales, blocking all the damage and leaving him completely unharmed.

"Haha, is that all you've got? I am a bit disappointed!" the creature laughed loudly. In a blink, he appeared in front of the Chen brothers and lightly crushed their heads as if they were watermelons, scattering red and white all over the ground.

The creature turned its head to look at Xu Hui, his eyes filled with cold murderous intent.

"You're next!" As soon as he finished speaking, he had already charged towards Xu Hui's side.

"Get back!" Jiang Ze's body radiated golden light, as if he had donned a golden armor, and he punched the creature forcefully.

With a loud bang, the creature was sent flying by the impact, followed by Xu Hui striking down hard on the fallen creature with her sword.

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and a shallow bloodstain appeared on the body of the monster, but it quickly disappeared.

At that moment, a bolt of thunder suddenly descended from the sky, striking the monster directly.

The monster couldn't help but let out a loud roar, clearly indicating that the strike had indeed hurt him.

"You two distract him, I'll use the Heavenly Thunder Technique!" Xu Ziming's voice reached the two people's ears, instantly filling them with surprise.

The Thunder Technique has always been one of the most difficult parts of spell mastery, but correspondingly, its power is also the greatest, especially when facing demons and ghostly wraiths, as it is their natural nemesis.

Xu Hui and her companion had not expected that Xu Ziming, after wasting so much time, had actually mastered such a powerful Thunder Technique unbeknownst to them.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

As famous experts in the Cultivation Realm, they naturally wouldn't miss a great opportunity. The two exerted their full strength to entangle Jiang Lin, not letting him get anywhere near Xu Ziming, who was clenching his teeth and striking the monster's head with bolt after bolt of Heavenly Thunder.

The monster was struck by Heavenly Thunder, and the wounds on its body kept increasing. Everything seemed to be going according to Xu Ziming's plan. At this rate, the demon would die under the Heavenly Thunder in a short while, but for some reason, Xu Ziming felt uneasy.

Suddenly, the monster let out a loud roar, and the surrounding atmosphere surged with a huge pressure bearing down on the three of them, seeming to solidify the Mana in their bodies, making it very difficult to circulate.

"Human Path Dragon Qi? How is this possible, how can you, a demon, wield Human Path Dragon Qi!" Jiang Ze yelled incredulously.

It was well known that Human Path Dragon Qi was exclusive to the human race and naturally repelled everything else. Jiang Lin was clearly just a demon, so why could he use Human Path Dragon Qi? Jiang Ze was utterly perplexed.

"Is it really you? Jiang Lin!" Xu Ziming murmured to himself, looking at the monster in front of him with mixed emotions.

"Haha, brother, long time no see. Are you surprised to see me?" the monster laughed heartily. However, the way he addressed him shocked both Jiang Ze and Xu Hui.

"Impossible, you were clearly dead, we personally put you into the coffin!" Xu Ziming said, still seeming somewhat in disbelief, shaking his head.

"Brother, it seems you are quite surprised. If it hadn't been for our parents' favoritism, giving all the good things to you, I wouldn't have died!" Jiang Lin's voice was full of resentment.

"You're talking nonsense, it was clearly you who were seduced by that prostitute, tricking us into thinking you were going to study, but in fact, you were stealing the family's property to enjoy a frivolous life with that woman, who turned out to be unfaithful and deceitful, taking your property and driving you out."

"By the time we found you, you were already breathing your last. We brought you back home, but you didn't pull through, and now you blame us."

"Heh, so I tracked down that bitch, sliced off her flesh bit by bit, and to be honest, her flesh was quite delicious. But that does not change my resentment towards you. It is all your fault that I have become what I am today."

"Are the pleasantries done? You humans really are fragile, dealing with all these boring feelings. We demons are better, naturally free, doing whatever we want!" With this, Jiang Lin's tone shifted, almost as if he was talking to himself.
