Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start

Chapter 508 The Violent Holy Monk Jiang Liuer Fights the White Bone Demon Three Times

According to the Master's decree, as long as the pilgrims are hindered on White Tiger Ridge for a few days, they will have rendered a great service to Buddhism and will be guided to the Great Thunder Temple, where they will be rewarded with the status of a Bodhisattva!

The Corpse Demon was born with intelligence, so it was naturally not stupid. The Bodhisattva status—what is that? In the entire Buddhist sect, it is a top-level position. If one could obtain the Bodhisattva status, who would still stay in this godforsaken White Tiger Mountain?

The Corpse Demon secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he had to cause trouble for the pilgrims, the more trouble the better!

On White Tiger Ridge, along a narrow, winding path shaded by lush trees, the Corpse Demon, disguised as a young girl delivering food to her elderly father and mother, finally met with Jiang Liuer and his group.

"Master, look! There's a young girl up ahead!"

Although Zhu Ganglie was leading the Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast, his eyes were the sharpest, and he spotted the Corpse Demon at a glance.

"Oh, a young girl?"

Jiang Liuer's lips curled up slightly as he looked into the distance!

As the leader of the five ancient insects that roamed the prehistoric world during the Dragon-Han Calamity, Jiang Liuer immediately sensed the Yin Sha aura carried by the girl!

This aura did not leak from the Corpse Demon, but rather came from an instinct—the instinct that the Six-Winged Golden Cicada developed in ancient times through real battles.

Sha Wujing frowned immediately. "Could it be some kind of demon?"

After saying that, he looked around and carefully scanned the girl a few times. Finding nothing strange about her, he breathed a sigh of relief.

With his aura at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, he couldn't detect anything unusual. Could this girl really be an ordinary person?

But this White Tiger Ridge is mostly trees and rarely inhabited, so how could such a beautiful woman have been born here?

The little black dragon didn't speak, but its eyes became wary.

Sun Wukong was at the very front and saw the girl first.

To others, she was a beautiful and graceful young woman with fair skin and a slender figure. But to Sun Wukong, she was a completely different person!

A skeleton, stark white, gleaming with a ghastly light, its eye sockets burning with emerald flames, was grotesque and terrifying, exuding a chilling aura.

The basket he carried was also made of bone fragments strung together. Instead of delicious food, it contained a bunch of poisonous insects and scorpions with oily shells and swift movements, clearly extremely venomous.

"What a monstrous corpse demon! It dares to try and deceive me in front of me."

Sun Wukong was quite disdainful. In the vast Three Realms, apart from the saints, all other pretense was meaningless to him under the power of his Golden Eyes of Truth-Seeing, let alone a mere Corpse Demon.

Pigsy patted his belly and exclaimed, "I'm getting a bit hungry. There must be some food in the young lady's basket. Let's go buy some."

Sha Wujing stopped Zhu Ganglie, "Second Brother, we should be careful in the middle of nowhere."

Pigsy shouted, "She's just a young girl, what's there to be careful about?"

As soon as Zhu Ganglie finished speaking, Sun Wukong flashed in front of him and blocked his way. "Good junior brother, I advise you to be careful. Don't regret it later when you suffer a loss."

Sun Wukong smiled, but he couldn't help but make Zhu Bajie shiver, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Pigsy put the reins back on the Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast and never mentioned eating again.

Sun Wukong rolled up his sleeves, ready to quickly deal with the corpse demon, when he heard Jiang Liuer's voice, "Wukong, don't be reckless, let your master handle it."

Jiang Liuer's calm voice rang out, and Sun Wukong immediately stopped and stepped aside.

Before long, the pilgrims' group officially collided with the girl who was actually a corpse demon.

The young woman quickly made way, saying, "Please, elders."

Jiang Liuer stopped the Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast, smiled at the Corpse Demon, and said, "In this desolate wilderness, are your family sure you're comfortable with you coming out alone?"

The girl said, "My home is behind the mountain. My husband is plowing the fields on the other side of the mountain. I'm bringing him some food. We often walk this road, so nothing will happen."

Jiang Liuer nodded, pointed to the vegetable basket in the girl's hand, and asked, "What's in this?"

"Some fragrant rice and fried gluten."

The girl lifted the black cloth covering the vegetable basket, revealing the food inside: fragrant rice and fried gluten, a feast for the eyes and the palate, making one's mouth water just by smelling it.

Jiang Liuer sneered, "The food smells so good, I'll trouble you to try it yourself, Miss."

"This is for my husband, how can I eat it?"

The Corpse Demon shook his head in refusal.

Originally, she was not averse to either meat or vegetables, but after following Randeng in his cultivation for so many years, she naturally became indifferent to these dirty and poisonous things.

"Not eating?"

Jiang Liuer suddenly raised the nine-ringed tin staff in his hand and smashed it directly at the corpse demon.

This attack was swift and ruthless, radiating a chilling killing intent. With lightning speed, it sent the girl flying.

The girl fell to the ground like a tattered sack, vomited several mouthfuls of blood, and died.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing were stunned. "Master, you're too impulsive! You start fighting without warning!"

Pigsy swallowed hard. "Master, you... this..."

Jiang Liuer countered, "Is there a problem?"

No, no.

"Since there isn't one, let's keep moving forward."

Jiang Liuer began to admire the Corpse Demon. Well done, he really knows how to endure!

Sun Wukong chuckled inwardly at the corpse demon's stupidity. He had seen people courting death before, but never one this desperate. He wondered who had orchestrated this corpse demon's actions—Buddhism? Or perhaps the Heavenly Court?

After everyone had gone some distance, the corpse demon finally appeared, its face cold as it stared at their retreating figures. It spat fiercely, "That monk! He seemed harmless, but who knew he was the most ruthless one!"

After walking for a while, as expected, they encountered an old woman.

The old woman, leaning on her cane, walked slowly while calling out loudly for her daughter.

Pigsy knew something was wrong. "Master, something terrible has happened! The girl's mother has caught up with us!"

Jiang Liuer glanced at Zhu Ganglie indifferently, "Alright, I was just hoping to run into him."

The pilgrims encountered the Corpse Demon once again. The Corpse Demon wept and cried, "Elders, have you seen my daughter? She went to deliver food and hasn't returned yet."

Without saying a word, Jiang Liuer raised his nine-ringed tin staff and struck.

The nine-ringed staff was incredibly powerful; as it fell, the old woman's body collapsed.

"Let's go, keep moving forward, a family should always be together."

Jiang Liuer said calmly and casually.

Soon, the pilgrims left, and the Corpse Demon got up from the ground again, its eyes flashing with resentment, wishing it could devour Jiang Liuer alive.

Wasn't it said that the pilgrim was a man of profound Buddhist teachings, compassionate, and merciful, who would not lightly harm even an ant?

Why did she encounter someone completely different? Someone irritable, angry, and even more murderous than him.

In the Great Thunderclap Temple, in the Mahavira Hall, Randeng sat on a lotus platform, his eyes calm. He paid no attention to the corpse demons on White Tiger Ridge; the so-called corpse demons were merely a tool for him to gain merit in Buddhism.

Once the calamity is overcome and Buddhism gains fortune, the Corpse Demon's mission will be complete.
