From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

The earth collapsed, the mountain path crumbled, and Ling Xuzi was reduced to dust and his soul departed from the netherworld.

"Hmph! Anyone else have a problem with that?"

The Black Wind King surveyed the area, and no demon king or leader dared to object, nor did any of the lesser demons dare to utter a word.

"Your Majesty, you are truly amazing."

Jiang Liu flattered him sweetly.

"Of course! Hahaha~"

The Black Wind King was overjoyed and smug after being praised by the beauty.

Jiang Liu then turned his gaze to the other demon kings and leaders, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you've been too good to them before. My father once said—"

A lowly person will not know manners unless they are beaten.

I suppose they felt the same way.

"What you say is true, Madam! You are right, Madam!"

Black Wind King was stunned for a moment, recalling the carefree days before he went to the South China Sea. He had never considered "winning people over with virtue," and his subordinates remained loyal simply because he was strong enough!

Suddenly.

He slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing—

How can you treat monsters like you would treat humans?

Humans value benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness.

But monsters believe in the law of the jungle!

Chapter 1392 Clever Maneuvering to Deceive the Baby

"What you say is absolutely right, Madam!"

King Black Wind was overjoyed.

Meanwhile, the leaders, such as Guangzhi, Guangmou, Baiyi Xiushi, Gu Huyuan, Boligelang, and Chiranlong, all felt a chill in their hearts.

The scholar in white robes exclaimed, "Nothing is more poisonous than a woman's heart."

"Ok?"

Black Wind King narrowed his eyes, but did not make a move as before. This was because the white-robed scholar's skills were also quite remarkable, but he also had to protect his wife. So he scolded, "Scholar, don't say such things again next time, or we can no longer be brothers."

"what!"

Jiang Liu cried out and collapsed to the ground, clutching his chest. "It hurts! It hurts! My chest hurts so much! I must have been frightened by this strange man in white with white hair and a pale face, and it's given me a serious heart ailment!"

The scholar in white: "······"

Fuck!

If his elder brother hadn't asked him to be an inside man, he wouldn't have suffered this.

"Madam, do not be afraid. I have a treasure that can cure your illness."

Black Wind King looked anxious. He made a gesture towards the glowing, resembling a relic-like pearl atop the Difeng Pagoda, and the pearl landed in his palm.

Although the Black Wind King has cultivated in the South China Sea for five hundred years, his skills are not refined and he does not know how to heal. Even the method of bringing the dead back to life can only be performed with the help of this precious root.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Before the Black Wind King could cast a spell, Jiang Liu grabbed the pearl, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it with a "glug," merging it with his primordial spirit.

"Oh, madam, this isn't for eating!"

Black Wind King was shocked. Compared to the Great Sage's innate talent, Jiang Liu's current transformation into Phoenix Spicy Flower Lover, who seemed to have become a spirit from a cassock, was the most worthy of his protection.

"You can't eat it, but I can!"

Before the Black Wind King could react, Jiang Liu pressed a palm against his chest, unleashing a surge of Qi that sent him flying to the foot of the Jian Di Peak Tower, causing the demon core within his body to tremble and blood to spill from his mouth.

The other leaders and the demon king were all stunned.

The scholar in white was the first to regain his senses and questioned, "Who exactly are you?"

Jiang Liu no longer concealed his identity, revealing his true form. Dressed in black with a tiger-skin skirt around his waist, he leaped onto the top of a nearby Guanyin statue. Ignoring the white-robed scholar, he addressed the Black Wind King, whose mouth and nose were bleeding and whose eyes were bloodshot, saying, "Good sir! Good sir! Since you want to be my husband, how can you not offer betrothal gifts?"

Enraged, the Black Wind King revealed his true form as a black bear, his three corpses contorting and his seven orifices spitting blood. He wore a cassock around his waist, his eyes bloodshot, and roared fiercely, "You damned monkey, you actually tricked me! You deserve to die! You deserve to die!"

With a roar, the black bear monster didn't use any magic or supernatural powers; it simply relied on its brute strength to attack with its claws.

Jiang Liu chuckled, unfazed by the attack, and approached a small demon wielding a bamboo stick. He snatched the stick from the demon's hand, said "thank you," and kicked the demon away. Then, he picked up the stick and hurled it at the black bear.

But we see:

Bamboo and wooden sticks, black bear claws, displaying strength before the Guanyin statue. Distracted, they strike the face, aiming for the arm and head. This one sweeps with a grotesque hand, that one swings sharp claws at the waist and hips. The dragon and phoenix dance clumsily, their bodies flustered and confused as they hurriedly turn around.

Spraying colorful clouds and exhaling black winds, the power of destiny is immeasurable!

One seeks to mend the Azure Sky, while the other desires the pleasure of the Black King. This struggle is fraught with danger; if the bear monster does not beg for mercy, he will be reborn in the Western Paradise, burning charcoal fiercely.

The two fought for thirty rounds without a clear victor.

Jiang Liu wielded a bamboo stick with unparalleled strength and martial arts skills. He matched the Black Bear Monster's strength with his own, striking left and right, blocking forward and swinging back. His movements were as agile as a black snake and as powerful as a tortoise. The tortoise and snake intertwined to strengthen his life force. He swung the stick, sparking fire and blooming a lotus of raging fire.

Jiang Liu dodged a downward claw strike from the black bear monster, which was already exhausted. He then swung his bamboo stick, drawing in the wind that had traveled hundreds of miles, which gathered on the stick and drew in the campfire at the peak of the mountain. The wind and fire collided, and a fireball the size of a fist was thrown out, which struck the black bear monster directly in the abdomen.

boom!

In an instant, flames shot into the sky, striking the heavens like a blooming fire lotus, spreading outwards in a mighty torrent, killing countless lesser demons and severely injuring the leaders present.

pat!

The black bear monster was a powerful demon, so its fur was not a problem. However, the attack just now drew upon the power of heaven and earth, hitting its lower core and shattering it. This caused all its magical power to dissipate, but it could still speak human language.

"Great Sage... oh no, Little Sage, spare my life! Little Sage, spare my life!"

The black bear monster looked at Jiang Liu, whose qi was steady and who was not covered in sweat, and kowtowed repeatedly. "I obtained that artifact, but I have never been able to refine it. I can only keep it on the top of the tower to deceive little demons and make money. I have never harmed anyone."

"is it?"

Jiang Liu waved his hand, capturing the seven wolves and throwing them in front of the black bear monster. "They've tied up this 'woman' for you to play with!"

"They made their own decisions; it has nothing to do with me!"

The black bear monster felt completely innocent.

As the saying goes, "If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too."

Jiang Liu chuckled coldly, "Even if we take a step back and your subordinates fail to perform their duties, you, the mountain king, will not escape blame. In your next life, cultivate for a few more kalpas before you come back to fight me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Liu flung away the bamboo stick in his hand, took out the Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff), and before the black bear monster could react, he shattered its skull with a single blow, obliterating its physical body and destroying its primordial spirit, leaving only a sliver of its spiritual light to return to the cycle of reincarnation.

Such swift and decisive measures terrified all the leaders present.

"I almost forgot about you guys."

Jiang Liu looked at the leaders, plucked a hair, blew on it, and it multiplied into ten, ten into a hundred, a hundred into a thousand, forming hundreds of little demons, each wielding a Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff), who charged forward and killed all the little demons that smelled of human flesh.

Guangmou, Guangzhi, Youhun, and others were also wiped out.

Red-Bearded Dragon, Boligelang, Gu Huyuan, and White-Clad Scholar were the survivors.

The white-robed scholar, wielding a steel spear, revealed his true form—a human body with a snake's tail—and charged towards the river, setting off another fierce battle.

It is:

The staff and the spear are two different things, though they are both from different people. One is Yuanjue, who is destined by heaven, and the other is Changhao, the brother of Erlang.

The spear was crafted by the Six Ding, and was completed in one go, piercing through the sky like a rainbow.

The Golden Cudgel was forged in the river, its power stirring up the universe.

When the two met, they sparred, their skills endless.

This one's hidden pistol, with its myriad ferocity, wraps around the waist with a rope as swift as the wind; that one's clamped stick, never missing a shot, pushes left and sweeps right with playful abandon.

After three rounds of fighting, the white-robed scholar was no match for Jiang Liu's heavy staff. His strength waned, his muscles went numb, and his magical power dissipated. His spear was broken in two by Jiang Liu's staff. Terrified, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Little Saint, spare my life! I was sent by my elder brother to be an inside man. I am not an enemy! I am not an enemy! I am not an enemy!"

Seeing him say it three times, Jiang Liu, leaning on his staff, chuckled and said, "If I am the Little Saint, then who is Guanjiang Erlang?"

Upon hearing this, the white-robed scholar trembled, not daring to speak, and could only prostrate himself on the ground, fearing that the Heavenly Fate Monkey might kill him at the slightest provocation.

Compared to Sun Wukong, this talking chosen one seems to be three times more ruthless!

"I will avenge the king!"

Only then did the guard realize what was happening. He raised his large axe, unable to distinguish friend from foe, and swung it at Jiang Liu's head.

With a loud "thud," the axe split in two.

Swah——

The moment the axe, shattered in two, hit the ground, Jiang Liu swept the guard's head into a cloud of blood mist with his staff. The headless corpse crashed to the ground, startling the stunned Boli Gelang, Red-Bearded Dragon, and others awake.

Chapter 1393 There is a difference between the noble and the lowly, and each person has a life.

Boligelang and Chiranlong snapped out of their daze and, imitating the white-robed scholar, prostrated themselves on the ground, daring not to show the slightest disrespect to Jiang Liu.

"I'll spare your life since you didn't eat anyone, but you don't appreciate it. You've been bewitched and believe that this black bear monster really has the ability to bring the dead back to life. How are you any different from those fanatical believers who pray to gods and Buddhas? Go back to the cycle of reincarnation!"

Jiang Liu shifted his gaze from the headless body of the guard, then looked at the Red-Bearded Dragon and Boligelang, and said leisurely, "You two haven't eaten anyone, but you're a bit stupid."

"Red-bearded Dragon".

"exist!"

The red-bearded dragon replied immediately.

"You're just as stupid as your father, the Dragon King of the Jing River!"

Jiang Liu chuckled mockingly, "You don't even know how your father died? He got into a fight with a fortune teller, and in order to win, he insisted on changing the rainfall amount designated by the Jade Emperor. If he didn't die, who would?"

"Great Sage".

The red-bearded dragon dared not make a move, but he was angry and retorted, "My father died unjustly."

"Where is the injustice?"

Jiang Liu remained smiling, as if he didn't mind making things worse.
