Lady White Bones, with a pair of blood-red eyes that glared so intensely, she seemed as if she were possessed by a demon.

As her gaze swept over, the many little demons in the White Bone Cave, one by one, fled in terror.

Clearly, the little demons of the White Bone Cave must have known all too well what Lady White Bones looked like in this state.

"Watch me!" As Jiang Liu spoke, Sun Wukong lifted his Jingu Bang and then smashed it down fiercely.

No superfluous words, just brute force overcoming cleverness, with Sun Wukong's cultivation level completely surpassing Lady White Bones', there was no need for any other spells or divine skills—he simply used his overwhelming strength.

Though Lady White Bones had gone on a rampage by then, it didn't seem like she had lost her sanity; instead, it seemed she just became even more malevolent.

"Heh heh heh..."

Watching Sun Wukong's Jingu Bang smashing toward her, Lady White Bones displayed an evil and disdainful smile, sneeringly said, "Even the most powerful guy among you is no match for me, and yet you, this skinny and small monkey, dare to court death in front of me!?"

Without any more talk, Sun Wukong raised the Jingu Bang high and brought it down with a fierce smash. In an instant, the rod followed his will and became incredibly thick.

With a bang, the ground shook and the entire White Bone Cave seemed nearly on the verge of collapse. Then, Lady White Bones' figure was completely pressed down by the Jingu Bang.

In the White Bone Cave, the little demons who had scattered in flight now turned their heads back, looking at Sun Wukong's Jingu Bang with shock and disbelief in their eyes.

The immensely thick rod, which looked very much like a heavenly pillar, contrasted starkly with the other end where Sun Wukong still appeared short and small.

This created a jarring visual, as though an ant were wielding a long chopstick, with a disparity in size that felt extremely discordant.

"This monkey's strength is actually..." Watching Sun Wukong holding the Jingu Bang, another maid of Lady White Bones widened her eyes, showing an incredulous expression.

All the little demons were intimidated by the power displayed by Sun Wukong.

"Is it over, just like that!?"

Similarly, Jiang Liu had naturally witnessed the scene of Sun Wukong pressing down Lady White Bones completely with a single blow, wearing a stunned expression on his face, finding it difficult to believe.

Lady White Bones was no weakling, and the way she glared with those blood-red eyes as if she were demon-possessed was even more hair-raising.

Could it be that in front of Sun Wukong, she was simply an easy matter of one rod strike?

"Indeed, as one reaches the later stages, the experience points needed for each level increase more and more. Similarly, the gap in cultivation levels also widens!"

Although the scene before him was somewhat shocking, and even hard for Jiang Liu to believe, upon further thought, it all seemed reasonable.

Let alone Lady White Bones at the peak of the Demon Immortal realm, when Mo Liqing broke through to the Taiyi Realm, didn't he also stand no chance against Sun Wukong?

Besides, in the original story, wasn't it the case that every time Sun Wukong faced the White Bone Demon, a single strike of the rod was enough to send her fleeing?

"What did this evil demon just say? I, Old Sun, am courting death?" After pressing Lady White Bones completely underneath with a swing of the rod, Sun Wukong tilted his head to listen, suggesting that he wanted Lady White Bones to repeat herself.

Of course, Lady White Bones, pressed down at this moment, where could she find the voice to speak again?

As the Jingu Bang was lifted, Jiang Liu could see that her health bar had already lost a good half of it.

The air of fury she had just moments ago had vanished, now she appeared utterly miserable and disheveled.

"You monkey, I'll kill you!"

As the Jingu Bang was lifted, the bloodlust in the eyes of the Lady White Bones, who was pressed below, intensified, and she roared loudly, at the same time rising to her feet and charging toward Sun Wukong with a fierce look.

However, facing the charging Lady White Bones, Sun Wukong simply shook his head, and without any more words, his Jingu Bang swung down again: "If you still haven't calmed down, then let me, Old Sun, help you cool off a bit more!"

Notification: Gained Experience Points 10050.

As Sun Wukong's Jingu Bang fell for the second time, almost simultaneously, the system's notification sounded in Jiang Liu's mind.

Clearly, that blow had completely emptied Lady White Bones' health bar.

"My lady!"

Though Sun Wukong's display of power was shocking, seeing Lady White Bones in such dire straits, where death wasn't certain but crippling injuries were, the little demons in the cave cried out in panic with a look of horror.

"Wukong, leave the other guys to you!" Seeing the little demons, Jiang Liu's thoughts stirred, and he spoke.

While letting Sun Wukong and the others deal with those Demon Marshal-level beings, Jiang Liu approached Lady White Bones and took out a string of Buddha Beads from beneath her.

```

There wasn't time to check the attributes of the equipment as he directly put it into his inventory space.

Jiang Liu's hand lifted, and he took out the epic-level Mixed Iron Rod. With a leap, he pounced towards the Little Demons in the White Bone Cave.

There were also hundreds of Little Demons inside the White Bone Cave, with varying cultivation levels. Those above the level of Demon Marshal were left to Sun Wukong and the others, so Jiang Liu naturally targeted the Demon General level beings and below.

Now, Jiang Liu had reached level 34. From a level perspective, his Controlling-Law Realm cultivation was about on par with those at the Demon General level.

Additionally, with the presence of his equipment and skills, he believed that his comprehensive combat capability had already touched the threshold of the Demon Marshal level.

However, since the goal now was to slay monsters and acquire experience points, rather than single combat with a Demon Marshal, Jiang Liu targeted those Little Demons. He swung the Mixed Iron Rod continuously, smashing down on the Little Demons with one blow after another.

Tip: You've gained 120 Experience Points.

Tip: You've gained 1020 Experience Points.

Tip: You've gained 760 Experience Points.

...

One by one, the Little Demons fell unconscious under the assault of the Mixed Iron Rod, naturally accruing a continuous stream of experience points for Jiang Liu, significantly increasing his total.

However, because Jiang Liu took the initiative, even though the Little Demons' health bars were depleted, they were merely in a severely injured and unconscious state, not dead.

Some of the Little Demons, faster ones, fled the White Bone Cave and descended White Tiger Ridge, escaping to who knows where.

Of course, a great number of Little Demons were knocked unconscious by Jiang Liu, so they lay scattered all over the ground, looking very much like a scene of carnage.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad, a significant haul!" After the last Demon General fell unconscious from Jiang Liu's blow, he opened his character panel to take a look. With this wave, he had gained several tens of thousands of experience points, which wasn't too bad.

In just this short while, he had earned what would take him two days of cultivation.

Of course, the lower their level, the less likely they were to drop items, but having defeated hundreds of Little Demons, he managed to get some loot, even if the quality wasn't very high.

The highest was merely at the perfect level. Jiang Liu shook his head in slight disappointment and then his gaze fell upon a black, semi-transparent Buddha Beads which had just been dropped by Lady White Bones.

Necklace: Black Jade Dharma Bead (Legendary Level) Requires level 35, Defense +1800, Special Effect: Lowers equipment level requirement by 5, Durability 35/50.

Looking at this Legendary Level Equipment, Jiang Liu's heart stirred, and he was immediately overjoyed.

A Legendary Level Equipment for level 35, one might think it would be difficult for him to equip at his current level of 34, right?

But with this equipment's special effect, it provided him with the conditions to equip it!

Moreover, the most important thing was that this special effect seemed to apply not just to the Black Jade Dharma Bead, but to other equipment as well!?

That is to say, if he was level 35, could he not equip items requiring level 40!?

This special effect of the Black Jade Dharma Bead was very practical for him!

Without any further ado, Jiang Liu put on the Black Jade Dharma Bead around his neck. The pitch-black beads, numbering a hundred and eight, turned into a string of Buddha Beads hanging around his neck, which looked rather fitting.

"You Monks, do what you will with me!"

Elsewhere, another maidservant of Lady White Bones was subdued by Sun Wukong. Noting that nearly all the Little Demons in the White Bone Cave had fallen, her face was filled with anger and hatred as she shouted loudly at Jiang Liu and his company.

"Shush..." However, in response to the tirades of this Demon King Realm maidservant, Jiang Liu did not get angry. He merely placed his finger on his lips and gestured for silence.

Then, Jiang Liu pointed at the Little Demons scattered on the ground and said, "Please take a good look, I didn't kill any of these Little Demons; they're merely unconscious, as you can see. As you know, if the Demon Kind dies, they revert to their original form!"

Upon hearing Jiang Liu's words, the maidservant was momentarily stunned and carefully looked at the Little Demons lying on the ground.

Indeed, they were all severely injured and unconscious, but it was clear that they were all still breathing, still alive.

"What kind of method is this Monk using? He seemed to show no mercy when striking, yet somehow, he only rendered them unconscious, sparing their lives!?"

Realizing the Little Demons were all alive, the maidservant marveled at Jiang Liu.

Rendering them unconscious without killing them seemed to be more difficult than simply slaying them, right?

And this Monk managed to do it with each one of them!?

"It seems that the most formidable among this group of people is this seemingly ordinary Monk, right!? No wonder these three fierce-looking Demon creatures are merely his disciples!"
