Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 710: Plan B

While speaking, Jiang Liu also raised the Fire Tip Spear in his hand, pointing towards Sun Wukong's side.

The Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra was cast on Sun Wukong, boosting his Attack Power.

Sun Wukong did not respond, but instead, he answered Jiang Liu with his actions.

Sun Wukong raised his Golden Hoop high, and the effects of the Twin Essence Oil also activated.

Abandoning all Defense Abilities, it was converted into Attack Power—clearly, Sun Wukong also hoped to take down the target in the shortest time possible.

Pinned down and immobilized by the Healing Holy Hand, and seeing Sun Wukong's Golden Hoop, Zhu Bajie's Nine-Toothed Rake, and Sha Wujing's Blood-Transforming Divine Blade plummeting towards him, the face of the Joyous Buddha drastically changed.

Fortunately, although his body was pressed under the Healing Holy Hand and he could not move, the Silence duration of the Silencing Zen was only a mere 2 seconds.

Thus, under the power control of the Joyous Buddha, the Six-Soul Banner was directly unfurled, placed in front of him to block the attacks from Sun Wukong and the others.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Six-Soul Banner, worthy of being an Epic Level Equipment of over level 80, once spread out by the Joyous Buddha, the attacks from Sun Wukong and his comrades landed on the Six-Soul Banner, and the damage was greatly reduced.

Dispel Curse!

As the attacks from Sun Wukong and others fell on the Joyous Buddha, Jiang Liu turned his head and cast the Dispel Curse Skill towards the Centipede Spirit nearby.

Under the power of the Six-Soul Banner, the Centipede Spirit's soul and spirit were partially fixed, rendering it dazed and in a stunned state.

However, as the Dispel Curse from Jiang Liu took effect, the Law-Type Skill directly dispelled the dizziness and stunned state.

Naturally, the fixed soul and spirit were also liberated.

"Kill!"

Coming to his senses, the Centipede Spirit, seeing the situation before him, also naturally understood what was happening, his expression stiffened, and immediately, he too launched an attack on the Joyous Buddha.

The Defensive Ability of the Six-Soul Banner was extremely strong, under the attacks from Sun Wukong and others, the Six-Soul Banner withstood everyone's attacks.

Although the Health Bar above the Joyous Buddha's head was continually dropping, the rate of decline was not fast.

"As expected of the Six-Soul Banner that Long-Ear Dingguang Immortal took away when he betrayed Sect Master Tongtian from the Saint, although it is only an Epic Level Equipment, its functions and attributes seem to have touched the threshold of Divine Level Equipment, haven't they?"

Seeing that under the protection of the Six-Soul Banner, the Joyous Buddha was able to successfully withstand the attacks from Sun Wukong and others for so long, he secretly sighed to himself.

After the 30 seconds of control time by the Healing Holy Hand passed, with a loud shout, the Joyous Buddha suddenly transformed into a giant grey-white rabbit.

And this rabbit also had a pair of long ears, upon its body, the Cultivation Level of the Daluo Golden Immortal burst forth.

"No matter how strong, he's only a Daluo Golden Immortal after all…" Seeing the scene before him, Jiang Liu's heart was solemn, but he was not panicked.

Grasping the Fire Tip Spear, he likewise launched an attack.

Jiang Liu's ability was akin to a gaming system, leveling up by defeating monsters, and now, the battle seemed to have the feel of a team raiding a BOSS.

Under the attacks from Jiang Liu and others, the true body of the rabbit transformed by the Joyous Buddha, saw its Health Bar continuously dropping.

Leaving aside the battle situation between Jiang Liu and the Joyous Buddha for the moment, elsewhere, Maitreya Buddha's figure was hidden in mid-air.

Apart from Maitreya Buddha, the Great Jade Emperor from the Heavenly Court was also focusing his Divine Sense here, monitoring the situation.

"What's going on? Why hasn't that mysterious man in black appeared yet?"

Hidden in mid-air, Maitreya Buddha waited for a long time, but did not see the appearance of the mysterious person holding the Absolute Immortal Sword, which made Maitreya Buddha mutter to himself.

Although making the Joyous Buddha come to face this Calamity and adding a trial to the team on the Journey to the West for Scriptures was part of his intention, all of this was secondary.

His main purpose was to deal with that mysterious person impersonating a disciple of Sect Master Tongtian.

Yes, an imposter.

Having learned that the disciple of Sect Master Tongtian was an imposter, Maitreya Buddha had thought of killing him.

First, after killing him, can the rescuer find Princess Gaoyang from his grasp? This is indeed an ace up their sleeve to check Xuanzang.

Everyone in the Three Realms knows that Princess Gaoyang was rescued by that mysterious person.

Second, not only can one retrieve all twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls, but even obtain an Absolute Immortal Sword.

Such gains are, naturally, enormous.

On the surface, it seems like a loss to join forces with the Great Jade Emperor and the others because, should the Sect Master Tongtian act up, one would bear it alone.

However, Maitreya Buddha himself knew that the guy was not a disciple of the Sect Master Tongtian, so there were no safety concerns.

"Ah, what's the deal with this Joyous Buddha?"

Although hiding in secret with the aim of waiting for the mysterious person wielding the Absolute Immortal Sword to appear, Maitreya Buddha also took out the Calamity Book to check.

In the Calamity Book, the intervention of the Joyous Buddha did not add a calamity, which caused Maitreya Buddha's brows to furrow tightly.

Not only did the mysterious person not appear, but even the Joyous Buddha's descent to face the calamity seemed ineffective as well?

This was originally a plan to kill two birds with one stone, but now, it looked like neither bird was hit?

Although internally angry, upon further reflection, it seemed still within reason.

After all, the actions of the Joyous Buddha didn't seem to bring any substantial harm or threat to Xuanzang's scripture-seeking team.

So, not counting it as a calamity also seemed reasonable?

Under Maitreya Buddha's watch, one could see that Xuanzang's team, combined with that late-stage Taiyi True Immortal Centipede Spirit, had inflicted very severe injuries on the Joyous Buddha.

By the looks of it, he couldn't hold on much longer.

"Ah, what a waste!" Watching this scene, Maitreya Buddha sighed internally and cursed silently.

Not managing to lure out the mysterious person with the Absolute Immortal Sword was one thing, and not his fault!

But not even managing to add an ordeal on the scripture-seeking journey? That's incompetence, isn't it?

In the end, as a being of the Daluo Golden Immortal level, he wasn't a match for Xuanzang's team, and it seemed he was about to be killed?

Wasn't this not just incompetence but utter ineptitude?

Internally shaking his head, Maitreya Buddha also sighed.

Although Maitreya Buddha internally ridiculed the Joyous Buddha's ineptitude, he couldn't just watch him be killed, could he?

Thinking this, Maitreya Buddha felt somewhat helpless, then raised his hand, which fell from the void!

With Maitreya Buddha's movement, a brilliant golden Buddhist light gathered in the sky, transforming into a giant hand that reached out towards the Joyous Buddha.

Clearly, Maitreya Buddha was intervening secretly, attempting to rescue the Joyous Buddha.

The awareness of the Great Jade Emperor was constantly on this matter within the Heavenly Court, ready to act should the mysterious person appear.

However, seeing Maitreya Buddha intervene instead of the mysterious person appearing, the Great Jade Emperor also shook his head internally.

Well, Maitreya Buddha had intervened, which meant that the one setting the trap had sprung it themselves, naturally, the prey they were waiting for would not appear.

This arrangement must have completely failed today.

Boom, boom, boom...

The golden hand, falling from the sky, reached towards the Joyous Buddha, while Sun Wukong and the others launched their attacks at the massive hand.

Struck by the attacks of Sun Wukong and his companions, the golden hand rippled like a calm lake disturbed by several stones, creating ripples.

However, there was no significant impact on the entirety of the golden hand.

It merely hindered it momentarily, then the hand directly seized the Joyous Buddha.

Subsequently, holding the Joyous Buddha in its palm, the golden hand slowly retracted towards the sky.

"Stop!"

Seeing the Joyous Buddha about to be killed, but someone intervening to rescue him at the critical moment, was naturally unacceptable to Sun Wukong and his companions.

With a shout, Sun Wukong displayed his Divine Skill "Law of Heaven and Earth," expanding his Jingu Bang to be thicker, longer, and harder, and smashed it fiercely at the golden hand again.

Naturally, following Sun Wukong's action, the nearby Zhu Bajie and the Centipede Spirit also hurriedly launched attacks, trying to shatter the golden hand outright.

"Ah, is that so?"

Yet, opposite to the urgency of Sun Wukong and his companions, Jiang Liu sighed internally.

He was not surprised by the events unfolding before him.

Plan A was to quickly and decisively finish off the Joyous Buddha!

But at the critical moment, Maitreya Buddha and his ilk intervened to save someone, right?

This possibility was something Jiang Liu had anticipated early on.

"It seems we need to execute plan B now!"
