Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

"Amitabha, I see now. Thank you, Great Emperor, for enlightening me!"

With a myriad of thoughts in her heart, after making up her mind, Guanyin calmed her spirit, chanted a Buddhist mantra, and spoke to Empress Qinghua.

Although Bodhisattva Guanyin had fallen into the Demon Realm, the place she found herself in was still a Buddhist Sect temple, the Great Nirvana Temple.

Therefore, it was not out of place for Guanyin to chant some Buddhist mantras now and then.

After all, great compassion and great mercy belong to the Buddhist Sect, so does Wutian's heresy not belong to the Buddhist Sect?

"Next, I'll have to trouble you..." As Guanyin spoke, Empress Qinghua naturally asked her to help heal her broken arm.

However, before Empress Qinghua could finish her sentence, her expression suddenly changed drastically.

Without turning her head, she raised her left hand, and the Green Emperor Sword appeared in her hand. She swung it back instinctively.

A massive sword qi suddenly appeared in front of Empress Qinghua.

Under this terrifying sword qi, Empress Qinghua was pressed back hundreds of meters.

Holding her long sword, Empress Qinghua maintained a blocking posture, her legs carving two long marks on the ground, and a streak of blood appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Although she managed to block the massive sword qi, it was obvious that she was still shaken by it.

"Who goes there!?"

A single move had injured her? This must be a Quasi-Saint level attack, right? Was it a Demon Realm Quasi-Saint?

Her heart sank as Empress Qinghua looked toward the direction from which the sword qi had launched.

A figure floated silently in mid-air, holding a long sword, an aura of destruction emanating from the weapon.

The figure was entirely shrouded in a black robe, making it impossible to see his face clearly.

Seeing this figure completely covered, Empress Qinghua naturally did not recognize him.

However, upon seeing the long sword in the figure's hand, Empress Qinghua was shocked and couldn't help exclaiming, "Absolute Immortal Sword!?"

"It's him!?" Seeing the figure hovering in mid-air and holding the Absolute Immortal Sword, Guanyin's heart stirred slightly.

Regarding this person, Guanyin held no malice; on the contrary, there was a slight warmth.

After all, she had once been defeated by him, and by all rights should have been killed, but in the end, he had spared her life.

"Sir!"

Recognizing the Absolute Immortal Sword in the hands of the Good Corpse, Empress Qinghua was astounded and said, "I have no quarrel with you. Why did you ambush me?"

This person before her was the very same who once nearly killed the Empress herself; even at her peak, she wasn't necessarily his match. Now, with a broken arm, she was barely hanging on.

Thus, Empress Qinghua naturally preferred not to fight if possible.

"If I wanted to kill you, why would I need to ambush you?" The Good Corpse responded with overwhelming swagger.

With those words, the Good Corpse raised the Absolute Immortal Sword once more and unleashed another world-ending strike of sword qi toward Empress Qinghua.

"Wait, wait..." Seeing the incoming terrifying sword qi, Empress Qinghua panicked and shouted loudly.

But the Good Corpse paid no heed to her words, completely ignoring her.

Raising the Absolute Immortal Sword, he swung it repeatedly, not giving Empress Qinghua a moment to breathe, each strike of sword qi coming down fiercely upon her.

Under the relentless barrage of sword qi, Empress Qinghua was compelled to avoid and defend herself as vigorously as possible.

A shield appeared, blocking the front.

The fearsome sword qi was blocked, but the shield shattered immediately.

A large cauldron flew up, exuding a heavy aura, protecting Empress Qinghua's entire body.

However, the cauldron only managed to block two strikes of sword qi before being sliced through.

Finally, Empress Qinghua's robe swelled up, clearly a defensive treasure close to her body.

But even this robe shattered after a few strikes of sword qi.

"Sir, wait, at least state your reasons before fighting! Why do you insist on killing me!?"

Under the relentless sword qi, one treasure after another was destroyed. Empress Qinghua had no time to lament their loss, only urgently pleading to the Good Corpse, hoping to gain a brief reprieve.

"Villains die of talking too much! I won't let myself become like that!" The Good Corpse inwardly sneered at Empress Qinghua's words.

His hands did not stop at all.

Watching all this from the side, Guanyin saw Empress Qinghua being utterly suppressed, in a miserable state, yet made no move to intervene.

To attempt to save him now would be thanklessness repaid with enmity, right?

Though for the denizens of the Demon Realm, betrayal might be a bragging right.

Of course, Guanyin also realized that even with her help, they wouldn't be able to defeat this disciple of Sect Master Tongtian.

So why risk her life?

Boom!

Finally, a blade of sword qi cut down, knocking the Green Emperor Sword from Empress Qinghua's hand.

The Green Emperor Sword bore several saw-like nicks.

Though the Green Emperor Sword's special effect could destroy other Epic Level weapons, it was being destroyed by the Absolute Immortal Sword, a Divine Level piece of equipment.

With the sword qi's final strike, Empress Qinghua was flung away, and seven or eight defensive treasures were destroyed by the Absolute Immortal Sword's qi.

"No wonder she's one of the Four Celestial Emperors; she truly is wealthy!" The Good Corpse quietly murmured, glancing at the numerous shattered Epic Level defensive items on the ground.

Holding the Absolute Immortal Sword, he stepped towards Empress Qinghua.

Seeing Empress Qinghua's health bar hovering at 5%, nearly depleted, the Good Corpse's step quickened.

Struggling, Empress Qinghua tried to retreat and pleaded with the Good Corpse, "Wait, cough, let's talk this out. Why are you killing me? At least let me die knowing why!"

Splurt!

But before she could finish, the Good Corpse thrust the Absolute Immortal Sword through Empress Qinghua's chest, the blade piercing through her heart.

Her health bar emptied instantly.

"You, you..." Eyes wide open, Empress Qinghua stared at the Good Corpse in disbelief. She never thought she would die here.

The Good Corpse gave her no chance to speak, drawing out the Absolute Immortal Sword and then slicing off her head with one swing.

Her severed head flew into the air.

System Prompt: Gained 520 million Experience Points, acquired 300,000 taels of silver.

System Prompt: Leveled up to 72.

As Empress Qinghua's head fell, system messages rang in the Good Corpse's mind.

"520 million Experience Points? That's a lot!" The Good Corpse was quietly astonished at the system messages.

Beep beep beep!

Almost simultaneously, he received another message.

Opening the chat, it was naturally a message from his main body, Jiang Liu.

"Looks like you succeeded? I just got a system message that you leveled up!"

Continuing his journey, Jiang Liu sat on his White Dragon Horse and sent a message to the Good Corpse.

"Yes, I successfully killed Empress Qinghua. Her Green Emperor Sword is mine now, and I obtained 520 million Experience Points and 300,000 taels of silver!" Jiang Liu quickly saw the Good Corpse's message in the chat.

"520 million Experience Points? That's impressive!" Jiang Liu nodded with satisfaction at the message.

When he killed Manjushri and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, he got around 15 million Experience Points each.

Though they couldn't team up, and Sun Wukong's Contribution Points weren't counted, that was a significant reduction.

Estimating, even if they could team up, he'd get about 100 million Experience Points then.

But Empress Qinghua gave over 520 million Experience Points?

No wonder she's one of the Four Celestial Emperors.

Even the Quasi-Saint level Maitreya Buddha only gave 3 billion Experience Points.

The Absolute Immortal Sword cost 100,000 taels of silver.

Yet killing Empress Qinghua netted 300,000 taels of silver. He definitely profited!

"By the way, isn't someone like Empress Qinghua a BOSS? Killing her should drop great loot, right?"

Besides the Experience Points and silver, Jiang Liu eagerly anticipated the loot drops.

Killing someone like Empress Qinghua without good drops was impossible.

With high expectations, he opened his inventory space.

Several potions, not worth mentioning.

A few Perfect Level and two Legendary Level items, also not enough to grab his attention.

Someone like Empress Qinghua shouldn't drop only Legendary Level items, right?

His eyes scanned past these items, finally resting on a ring, radiating brilliantly, instantly capturing Jiang Liu's attention.

Just from the appearance, this ring seemed extraordinary.

Jiang Liu reached out and retrieved it from the inventory space.

As he focused his gaze on it, the ring's Attribute Information appeared before Jiang Liu's eyes.

"What a treasure! Another Divine Level Equipment drop!" Jiang Liu was overjoyed, reading the ring's Attribute Information.
