The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 289 Blazing Flames Burn the Demon
Pigsy could fight the snake demon to a standstill, but Sister Mao couldn't withstand the siege of so many lesser demons.

That's why he kept losing battles and had no choice but to close his cave and slowly dwindle his fortune.

The thought of "sitting idle and eating away one's fortune" and the story of Old Pig becoming a live-in son-in-law is just too much.

This reminded Li Jingxiao of the Jade-Faced Fox Spirit.

That fox demon was the daughter of the Fox King, the beloved concubine of the Bull Demon King, and came from a wealthy family.

The Jade-Faced Fox wants to find a son-in-law to live with her family.

After much deliberation, they chose the formidable Bull Demon King.

Ever since Lao Niu became a live-in son-in-law, he hasn't done anything productive all day.

He was either with his beloved concubine or visiting friends and attending banquets.

They lived a very carefree life.

Even if Li Jingxiao were a celestial being or the Buddha of the West, he would still envy and be jealous of that guy.

In the end, he was forced to submit to Buddhism by the combined forces of Buddhism, Heaven, and Sun Wukong.

This made Li Jingxiao somewhat worried.

Powerful and carefree gods and demons.

It doesn't seem that reliable.

Thinking of this, Li Jingxiao couldn't help but wonder if he should find some time to go to Wudang Mountain in the Tang Dynasty to pay homage to the True Martial Emperor.

If one becomes his personal disciple, it would be like having a powerful backer.

Moreover, he enjoys exorcising demons and monsters, and the True Martial Emperor is invincible throughout Beiju Luzhou, which is why the Three Realms are shaken.

Everyone knows it.

Having become his personal disciple, he no longer had to worry about killing demons.

Moreover, exorcising demons and monsters is the right thing to do, so there's no need to worry about people saying that you've committed too many killings.

But Li Jingxiao thought again and decided to wait and see.

Who among us, as a normal person, would willingly be a dutiful son or grandson?

In this era, the master-disciple relationship is not much different from that of father and son.

However, it's still worthwhile to take some time to visit Wudang Mountain and pay homage to the True Martial Emperor.

Otherwise, if something really happens and you have to resort to last-minute scrambling, people might not be willing to pay attention to you.

The next morning, Li Jingxiao flew directly to Jambudvipa.

Upon arriving at Wudang Mountain, we offer sacrifices of livestock, seasonal fruits, and grains to pay homage to the True Martial Emperor.

Although the True Martial Emperor did not react.

But Li Jingxiao had a vague feeling that someone in the sky was watching him.

I immediately guessed it must be the True Martial Emperor.

They immediately became much more disciplined.

Then three wisps of green smoke rose vertically upwards, but there was no response.

Li Jingxiao was immediately confused.

Could it be that she looks down on me?
After leaving the main hall, Li Jingxiao kept frowning.

He left a thousand taels of silver at the Taoist temple before ascending back to Baoxiang Kingdom.

Although there were demons in the Tang Dynasty of the Journey to the West world, they were all insignificant.

Moreover, it is virtually impossible for a demon to rule over a mountain.

After all, so many Buddhist and Taoist masters had their temples within the Tang Dynasty, occupying various famous mountains and rivers.

Any demon that dares to show its face will almost certainly not have a good outcome.

On the contrary, Xiniuhe Prefecture, which is known as the Buddhist Kingdom, is full of demons.

Not only did they eat people, but the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge also devoured the entire population of an entire country.

Upon returning to Xiniu Hezhou, Li Jingxiao went to find the White Dragon again.

This time, there was no need for any shouting or cursing; the White Dragon himself jumped out to challenge them to a sword fight.

Li Jingxiao was secretly pleased; he liked such a straightforward opponent.

After a fierce battle, I successfully gained 6 experience points.

Li Jingxiao didn't forget to make a few sarcastic remarks, lest this guy develop a sense of mutual respect while they were fighting.

It would be difficult to have a contest then.

Li Jingxiao was starting to regret it. He should have gone to Gao Laozhuang to ask Gao Taigong for a marriage proposal when he first went there.

That old pig will definitely hate himself to death.

However, Li Jingxiao was not stupid after all. Since Zhu Bajie was a member of the pilgrimage team, he would wait until he became the Buddhist Clean Altar Messenger.

They will definitely cause trouble for themselves in the future.

He might even drag Sun Wukong into killing him.

The Yellow-Robed Monster, Kui Mulang, was different.

He descended to the mortal realm without permission and had an affair with the Jade Maiden.

Moreover, this guy is just lustful at first sight; it's not about love.

As for the White Dragon Horse, as long as he has a good relationship with Pigsy, he can be considered a marginal figure on the journey to the West.

It's definitely not as good as the relationship between Pigsy and Monkey.

So Li Jingxiao not only wanted to provoke the White Dragon, but also thought that if this guy could never beat him.

They might ask relatives and friends to come and help.

In Journey to the West, dragons are also minor characters.

Sure enough, the little white dragon was shocked when Li Jingxiao mocked him for being incompetent.

He immediately became furious.

Any goodwill I had towards Li Jingxiao vanished instantly.

She glared at him fiercely, then turned and jumped back into the ravine.

Li Jingxiao chuckled to himself, secretly thinking that if he could win over Princess Wansheng, the fiancée of the White Dragon.

This guy will definitely hate himself even more.

As for Princess Wansheng, she was promiscuous. Although she was already engaged to the White Dragon, she had an affair with the Nine-Headed Insect.

He doesn't plan to marry her anyway, so what's wrong with having some fun with her?
But that nine-headed worm is also quite capable.

But then I thought, once I'm a level or two stronger, I'll try to poach Nine-Headed Insect's members.
-
When Li Jingxiao returned to Baoxiang Kingdom, he heard the princess say that Zhu Bajie had come by that morning.

Seeing that he wasn't there, they agreed to go out together to run errands the next day.

Li Jingxiao was in a good mood today. He accompanied the princess in practicing martial arts and playing cards, and was even gentler than usual.

This made the princess even more infatuated with him.

The next day, Li Jingxiao had just gotten up and was doing his morning exercise with the princess, and had breakfast.

Then Pigsy came to the door carrying a rake.

After enjoying a hearty meal at the palace, Pigsy, beaming, led Li Jingxiao to Snake Ridge Mountain.

Along the way, he kept muttering to himself about Snake Ridge Mountain and the snake demon.

Li Jingxiao didn't care how capable the snake demon was; anyway, Old Pig had said that his abilities were no less than the snake demon's.

Therefore, Li Jingxiao's target was naturally the lesser demons of Snake Ridge Mountain.

If you have three to five thousand, you might be able to level up once or twice.

Upon arriving at Snake Ridge Mountain, Old Pig reminded Li Jingxiao to be careful.

He then went straight to the snake demon's cave and began to curse.

When the little demon guarding the gate saw that it was Pigsy who had come to visit, he didn't dare to say a word.

They hurriedly went into the cave to report, lest Old Pig, in a fit of anger, kill them, these minor gatekeepers.

Before long, a handsome man dressed in dark green armor and holding a halberd rushed out.

Seeing that it really was Pigsy, he couldn't help but mock, "Who do you think it is? It's you, you freeloader, you good-for-nothing fool."

Pigsy was furious when he heard that.

They raised the rake and started hitting.

The two had fought many times in the past and were very familiar with each other's martial arts and magic.

At this moment, filled with resentment, he attacked, and within just a few moves, his anger flared.

Upon seeing the snake demon's clenched teeth expression, Li Jingxiao couldn't help but speculate.

Perhaps this snake demon used to admire Sister Mao, but this pig took her away.

That's why he hates Old Pig so much.

However, Li Jingxiao only thought about it, watching as Pigsy and the snake demon fought from outside the cave all the way up to the sky.

Then, they flew from the sky to the distant mountains and immediately arrived outside the cave.

Using sword control techniques, they cleared out dozens of minor demons outside the cave.

Then, it opened its mouth and inhaled, then exhaled countless flames towards the cave. Instantly, the surging flames, like a tidal wave, rushed straight into the snake-headed cave.

Then he took another deep breath and unleashed the Samadhi Divine Wind.

Suddenly, the sky and earth changed color, and countless gusts of wind blew straight into the cave.

In just a moment, Li Jingxiao's mind was filled with notifications that his experience points were increasing.

To Li Jingxiao, this was like the most beautiful musical note; he could listen to it endlessly without getting tired of it.

Even Pigsy and the snake demon, who were fighting in the distance, spontaneously stopped and looked in the direction of Snake Ridge Mountain.

However, one begins to feel worried and anxious.

One of them, after a moment of surprise and doubt, suddenly became delighted and raised his rake to strike.

Pigsy isn't stupid; the bigger the commotion at Snake Mountain, the more advantageous it is for him.

What we need to do now is to keep this snake demon occupied.

Once all the little demons on Snake Coil Mountain are dead, Li Jingxiao will naturally come to join them.

They joined forces to kill the snake demon's enemy.

Moreover, the more worried the snake demon was, the more its power level dropped.

The old pig used all his strength to pester the snake demon and prevent her from leaving.

The snake demon knew that its only option was to defeat Pigsy.

Otherwise, even if you risk getting injured and run back, it will ultimately be useless.

In an instant, the two grew increasingly enraged and began to fight to the death.

After Li Jingxiao finished blowing out a breath of Samadhi Divine Wind, he immediately took another deep breath.

Another burst of flame was blown in.
Incidentally, he also took out a +7 Five Fire Seven Birds Fan.

Fire attack +51.

Includes +41 Fire in the Air, +41 Fire in Stone,

Fire in wood +41, Samadhi fire +41,

Human Fire +41.

He kept fanning himself towards the cave.

Five-colored flames rushed into the cave, mixed with the flames spewed out by Li Jingxiao, as if adding fuel to the fire.

In just seven or eight minutes, the rocks at the entrance of the cave were burned and began to turn red and soften.

The temperature inside the cave had already caused the little demons inside to emit a strong meaty aroma.

Then the little demon's corpse near the cave began to turn black and char, slowly carbonizing.

After Li Jingxiao exhaled another burst of flame, a notification sounded in his mind: he had leveled up.

Li Jingxiao's face lit up with joy, and he quickly stopped breathing fire, but continued to fan himself with the fan in his hand.

Then focus on character levels.

Level 101 (2 million/420 million)
Without a second thought, Li Jingxiao immediately added the newly acquired attribute point to his comprehension.

体质70、根骨71+20、悟性61+10
For a long time to come, attribute points will definitely only be added to Comprehension.

This makes the "Eternal Youth Kung Fu" seem extraordinary.

The first time I experienced rejuvenation, my constitution increased by 5 and my physical constitution increased by 5.

Second time, +10 to Root Bone and +10 to Constitution.

The third time, Root Bone +20, Constitution +20.

Unfortunately, after this divine skill was upgraded to Mythical (20/20), it has been stuck at the maximum level ever since.

Li Jingxiao secretly thought that he should find a way to upgrade the grade of this divine skill when he had time.

Perhaps every time I rejuvenate in the future, the pure yang energy that dissipates from my dantian will...

It can also moisturize and strengthen the body.

Then increase physical constitution and bone structure.

In that case, the value of this skill would be magnified countless times.
-
After allocating his attribute points to Comprehension, Li Jingxiao turned his attention back to the Snake Coil Cave.

The frequency of the voices in my mind that increase experience is much slower than before.

But monsters continued to be burned to death.

Ten minutes later, the rising noises began to thin out.

Li Jingxiao then put away the +7 Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan.

He activated his all-seeing eye and focused his gaze on the snake demon who was locked in a life-or-death struggle with Pigsy.

Having killed a whole cave of lesser demons, we naturally cannot let this snake demon go.

Moreover, unlike Kui Mulang, this snake demon has the Heavenly Court as its backer.

Killing him would cause a lot of trouble.

But this snake demon clearly had no powerful backing, so killing it was no big deal.

However, Li Jingxiao thought again that even if he killed the other party, he would only get about 120,000 experience points, which is about the same as Zhu Bajie's.

It would be better to help Old Pig and let him kill the snake demon.

That way, you won't get into any trouble.

Thinking of this, Li Jingxiao chuckled.

He activated the Earth Escape Technique, infiltrated the vicinity, and suddenly jumped out.

He pointed at the snake demon and uttered the word "freeze," instantly freezing the snake demon in place.

Pigsy was already locked in a fierce battle with the snake demon, and he was completely focused on the fight.

Seeing that the snake demon didn't move, they weren't about to let the opportunity slip by.

The rake struck the snake demon on the head, instantly creating nine bloody holes.

When she broke free from the immobilization spell, her body went limp and she almost lost her balance.

But after Pigsy succeeded with his rake, he swung it again and struck the snake demon in the chest.

Nine more bloody holes appeared, and this raft directly crippled the snake demon.

Holding the rake, he swung it down hard, smashing the snake demon's head into a bloody pulp.

The dead can no longer die.

Having avenged his great grudge, Pigsy stood there stunned for a moment, leaning on his rake, before bursting into laughter.

Li Jingxiao didn't feel it was a pity that he didn't get the experience of the snake demon.

He cupped his hands to Old Pig and said, "Congratulations, Brother Pig. The long-standing feud has been resolved in one day. From now on, you can devote yourself wholeheartedly to Miss Gao."

Upon hearing this, Pigsy nodded subconsciously.

Then came the return gift: "Thanks to your help, my virtuous brother, otherwise, I, Old Pig, know my place and it wouldn't be so easy to take revenge."

Li Jingxiao didn't stand on ceremony. After offering a few words of congratulations, he brought up the matter of scavenging financial statements.

Pigsy, being greedy for money, quickly composed himself and went to the Snake Coil Cave with Li Jingxiao.

As for what was said before, that all future looting would be left to Li Jingxiao.

Old Pig completely forgot about it.

Seeing the astonishing temperature of the burning cave, they couldn't help but look at Li Jingxiao with new respect.

He thought to himself that Li Xiandi's martial arts skills were already quite good, but he didn't expect that his real strength lay in his Taoist magic and supernatural powers.

Fortunately, I thought about it again and realized that my friendship with Brother Li Xian was so deep.

He is highly skilled, and will be a great helper in the future.

Thinking about it that way, Pigsy stopped caring.

Li Jingxiao used the "Borrowing Wind" technique, pointing his finger towards the cave.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze began to blow into the cave.

After waiting for half an hour, the temperature inside the cave had dropped significantly.

The two then entered the Snake Coil Cave.

The situation inside the cave is just like the mountain castle that Shuten-dōji built back then.

The charred corpses were not only scattered all over the place, but many had simply been burned to ashes.

Most of the assets were also burned.

This time it was Old Pig's turn to be dissatisfied, and Li Jingxiao gave an awkward smile.

He hurriedly said, "Brother Pig, don't worry, after the gold and silver melt and cool, they will still be gold and silver."

Pigsy thought it made sense; at worst, he could take the collected gold and silver fragments back and melt them down to make gold and silver bars.

It still works.

The two searched the cave thoroughly and found gold and silver ingots worth over 100,000 taels of silver.

They each took half and went home smiling.

However, they also made plans to drink together in a few days.
