Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 594: Golden Hair Lion: Bodhisattva, save me!

On the Journey to the West, of the eighty-one trials, a significant number were deliberately arranged by the Immortals and Buddhas.

Most of these were the disciples or the mounts of these higher beings descending to the Lower Realm to fulfill their destinies, and this was true both in the original story and now.

And after these mounts or disciples descended, they would bring some treasures with them.

One reason was to create calamities for the Journey to the West Team; another was for self-preservation.

For example, Gold-Horn and Silver-Horn brought treasures like the Jade Pure Bottle of Mutton-Fat Jade, the Purple Gold Gourd, the Shaking Golden Rope, and so on; the Green Ox Demon came with the Vajra Bracelet; and Ancestor Huangmei had the Human Seed Bag and the Cymbals…

As the mount of Bodhisattva Guanyin turned into a demon after descending to the mortal world, it was natural for the Golden Hair Lion to bring a treasure too, which was not surprising.

In the original text, it had the Purple Gold Bell, but unexpectedly, the current Golden Hair Lion had switched to other Dharma Treasures.

A shield, a kasaya, and a Golden Pagoda!

Three Dharma Treasures, each more impressive than the last. However, all these treasures were not for attack but defense!

Facing Sun Wukong, the Lion used all three defensive treasures, and for a moment, even Sun Wukong found it hard to defeat him.

"So many turtle shells!" In his Law of Heaven and Earth form, Sun Wukong's strength was unquestionable. But when his Ruyi Golden Cudgel swept across, all three defensive treasures stood firm, and yet Sun Wukong still struggled to defeat the Golden Hair Lion.

This situation left Sun Wukong feeling somewhat helpless.

With the cultivation level of Taiyi True Immortal, one shows neither resistance to attacks nor retort to insults. The raised defensive treasures were truly frustrating.

"Wukong, let your master lend you a hand!" Seeing that Sun Wukong was blocked by the three defensive treasures and struggling to succeed, Jiang Liu shouted out loud.

As he spoke, Jiang Liu raised his hand.

Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra!

He cast a Buff that increased Attack Power on Sun Wukong.

An increase of 25% Attack Power made Sun Wukong's strength surge.

Immediately after, Jiang Liu considered and then applied another skill on Sun Wukong — Strengthening Body-Protection Spell.

Though it seemed the Golden Hair Lion, who did not counterattack, might not need this defensive power, the Twin Essence Oil effect from Sun Wukong's golden cudgel could certainly make use of it.

Weakness Talisman!

After casting the two Buff abilities, Jiang Liu followed up with a Weakness Talisman skill on the Golden Hair Lion, greatly reducing all his attributes.

Bang, bang, bang!

With this turn of events, the gap in strength between Sun Wukong and the Golden Hair Lion widened even more.

Under the assault of the golden cudgel, the three defensive treasures seemed to have trouble holding up.

With his defense under the pressure of the three treasures, the Golden Hair Lion stepped back incrementally, and beads of sweat started to drop from his forehead.

Clearly, under this attack, the Lion's defense was at its limit.

"Hmph, let's see how long you can hold out!" Seeing the state of the Golden Hair Lion, Sun Wukong grew more valiant with each battle, and his Ruyi Golden Cudgel struck harder with each blow like a raging storm.

Sun Wukong's strength was not just immense, but he also possessed a near inexhaustible durability.

The complexion of the Golden Hair Lion had turned pale, panting heavily, and the glow from the three defensive treasures gradually dimmed.

However, just as the Golden Hair Lion seemed on the verge of being unable to hold on any longer, he suddenly raised his hand again.

Then, a pale blue pearl hovered up, floating above the head of the Golden Hair Lion.

Blue light twinkled as it radiated out, seeping into the Lion's body.

As this light was absorbed, one could feel the Lion's breathing slowly grow steady, and his pale face regaining color.

"Eh? Could it be something like a Mana Potion that replenishes strength?!"

Seeing the change in the Lion's countenance, Jiang Liu moved slightly, speculating in his mind that this seemed to be the only explanation.

Yet, three defensive treasures and one treasure to recover one's own strength to enhance endurance—this caused the corners of Jiang Liu's mouth to twitch slightly.

The most cowardly demon Jiang Liu had encountered on the Journey to the West was the Golden Hair Lion right before his eyes.

"Great Saint, we've been fighting for so long, I'm no match for you, let's just end it here, shall we?" Although the Lion put up a defense, making it seem like Sun Wukong could hardly get the better of him, he was far from reassured. Far from showing any arrogance, he instead pleaded for a truce.

"Hmph!" However, Sun Wukong paid no heed to the Golden Hair Lion's words, but continued to bring his Ruyi Golden Cudgel down relentlessly, without any interest in talk.

"It seems this guy is indeed very cowardly; even Wukong can't defeat him. No wonder the reward for this quest is so generous!"

Acting so unpredictably and being so exceedingly timid, yet the defensive Dharma Treasures were so powerful, Jiang Liu shook his head internally.

Meanwhile, he shouted to Sun Wukong, "Wukong, get ready, your master is about to make a move!"

Jiang Liu's shout made Sun Wukong's spirit focus sharply, energizing him.

The miraculous methods of his master were well known to Sun Wukong.

"Again!?" Similarly, the nearby Golden Hair Lion's face changed dramatically.

Just as Master Xuanzang had made his move, Sun Wukong had become even more formidable, and the Golden Hair Lion himself had also experienced a lengthy period of weakness.

Now, was Master Xuanzang about to take action again? He wondered what kind of move it would be this time.

Silencing Zen!

Pointing a finger at the Golden Hair Lion, Jiang Liu directly cast the Silencing Zen skill upon him.

As the Silencing Zen skill was imposed, the Golden Hair Lion felt the strength within his body suddenly solidify, almost impossible to mobilize.

Naturally, as his strength solidified, lacking the drive of power, the three defensive Dharma Treasures also fell from midair.

Sun Wukong, who was already on high alert, wouldn't waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Lifting his Ruyi Golden Cudgel, he ruthlessly smashed it down toward the Golden Hair Lion.

"This is bad!"

With his three defense Dharma Treasures fallen and their glow dimmed, and his internal strength stagnant like dead water, the Golden Hair Lion's face changed drastically as he watched Sun Wukong's Ruyi Golden Cudgel descending upon him.

Then, he shouted loudly, "Great Saint, wait, I'm not an evil demon, I am the mount of the Bodhisattva Guanyin, the Golden Hair Lion!"

Whoosh!

Despite the Golden Hair Lion's shout, Sun Wukong seemed to ignore it completely, continuing to bring down his Ruyi Golden Cudgel without any pause.

"It's over!" As Sun Wukong's Ruyi Golden Cudgel came closer and closer, the Golden Hair Lion felt utterly hopeless.

Bang!

The cudgel struck squarely onto the Golden Hair Lion's body, instantly flattening him under its attack.

However, watching this scene, Jiang Liu's brows slightly furrowed.

Even though he wasn't teamed up with Sun Wukong and the Contribution Points meant he wouldn't gain much Experience Points, he should still gain some, right?

But, as the Golden Hair Lion was slain by him, the system notification announcing the gain of Experience Points did not appear.

This made Jiang Liu's brow furrow, feeling that something was amiss.

"Great Saint, Great Saint, I admit defeat, take me to the Empress of Jinsheng Palace, I'm no match for you, I concede!"

Just as Jiang Liu was inwardly surprised, suddenly, a familiar voice sounded—it was the Golden Hair Lion, another one appeared.

Seeing this newly emerged Golden Hair Lion, Jiang Liu and the others turned their gaze to the flattened Golden Hair Lion, only then did they realize that the one smashed was just a skin.

"Something like the Golden Cicada's Shedding, or is it an artifact?" Seeing the flattened Golden Hair Lion turn into a skin, with the actual Golden Hair Lion still alive, Jiang Liu murmured to himself.

Indeed, he was the most cowardly demon creature in history; aside from the three major defense Dharma Treasures, he actually had a divine skill or artifact that nearly gave him an extra life.

Although the strength of the Golden Hair Lion was barely at the level of a Taiyi True Immortal, his life-saving tactics were indeed inexhaustible.

"Humph, stop your nonsense, Wukong, kill him!"

While he was inwardly marveling, on the surface, Jiang Liu acted like he completely disbelieved the Golden Hair Lion, snorting coldly and speaking to Sun Wukong.

"Holy Monk, I'm telling the truth!" The Golden Hair Lion quickly summoned back his three defense Dharma Treasures, closely guarding himself, yet feeling no sense of security, and cried out to Jiang Liu.

"Impossible! Guanyin is known for her compassion, and her mount would surely understand Buddhist nature deeply. How could it turn into a demon here? Wukong, take action!" Waving his hand, Jiang Liu didn't believe him at all and shouted loudly.

Following Jiang Liu's words, Sun Wukong once again raised his Ruyi Golden Cudgel and ruthlessly smashed it toward the Golden Hair Lion!

"Wukong, hold your hand!"

Just then, a shout resounded, and at the same time, the Buddhist Light shone brilliantly in the sky.

"Bodhisattva, save me!" Watching Sun Wukong's Golden Cudgel raised again, the Golden Hair Lion screamed in terror, quickly retreating while using the three treasures to protect his surroundings.

"Guanyin has come!?"

Seeing the brilliant Buddhist Light in the sky, Sun Wukong's expression became slightly stern, and then he lifted his Golden Cudgel up high once more.

At each end of the cudgel, there were red and blue colors, but at that moment, all the blue turned to red.

Under the effect of the Twin Essence Oil, Sun Wukong converted all his defensive power into attack power in that moment.

Whoosh!

A cudgel struck down with the force that seemed to shatter heaven and earth, an awesome power beyond description.

The kasaya instantly tensed, and then the sound of ripping cotton was heard as it was torn apart.

The shield in front of the Golden Cudgel showed fine cracks, then shattered with a loud crack.

Last was the Golden Pagoda.

It held out for merely a brief moment before it too was sent flying by Sun Wukong's Golden Cudgel.
