Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 716: Saint vs Saint

With Kunpeng exerting its full strength, being so formidable, it was unknown if it could break through the blockade of the Jieyin Treasure Banner.

Under Jiang Liu's watchful eyes, the result soon became apparent.

The figure of Kunpeng looked utterly miserable, covered in blood, and its giant bird form that blotted out the sun had also transformed back into a Taoist Body.

Seeing Kunpeng's head drenched in blood and one hand clutching its shoulder, it seemed as if its entire shoulder had shattered.

Looking at the Jieyin Treasure Banner, it still appeared brightly luminous, suspended in mid-air, shining brilliantly.

It seemed completely unaffected.

If the Kunpeng, which had burst forth with all its strength, could be likened to a tremendously powerful Barbarian Bull Bull, then the Jieyin Treasure Banner was like an indestructible iron mountain.

The strength of the Barbarian Bull Bull was indeed tremendous, but when it fiercely collided with an iron mountain, it only injured itself.

The whole iron mountain appeared completely immovable.

"Terrifying! To think that just by tossing a dharma treasure from afar, a level-100 blue quality Kunpeng couldn't even stir it slightly when it went all out!?" Jiang Liu was somewhat flabbergasted by this scene.

He had thought that it was just a dharma treasure and, with the strength of Kunpeng, it should be somewhat of a match.

But now it seemed he had thought too much.

Without attaining saintliness, one is ultimately inconsequential!

Upon this statement, Jiang Liu gained a deeper understanding!

He had initially thought to gauge some measure of a Saint's formidable power based on Kunpeng's level-100 ranking.

Now it looked like the Saint's power was even more unfathomable!

"Ah, in this world, the strong are indeed much stronger!" Having witnessed such unpredictable power of a Saint, Jiang Liu's heart filled with even more emotion.

"Buzz!"

Under the full impact of Kunpeng, the Jieyin Treasure Banner remained unmoved, and then, at that moment, the entire banner radiated with thousands of splendid lights as dazzling radiance emerged, pressing directly towards Kunpeng.

The Venerable Sage does not tolerate profanity.

Since Kunpeng dared to assault the Jieyin, it naturally would not treat him kindly!

Seeing the brilliant aura bursting from the Jieyin Treasure Banner pressing towards him, Kunpeng's pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes revealing a glint of despair.

Strong!

Although he had long known that a Saint's power was far beyond his imagination and not something he could contend with, he hadn't expected that just by remotely throwing a dharma treasure, he would be completely outmatched!

Is this the power of a Saint?

"Hehehe..." With his hand covering the break in his arm and looking at Kunpeng's shattered shoulder, a richer smile spread across Maitreya Buddha's face.

Of course, this smile was one of greater triumph.

Initially, he had been somewhat apprehensive, wondering whether a mere dharma treasure from the Sage Sect Master could subdue a great ancient being like Kunpeng?

Looking at it now, it seemed he had worried too much and had underestimated the power of a Saint!

"Sigh..." Watching this scene on the video, Jiang Liu inwardly sighed.

He had initially thought about using Kunpeng to kill Maitreya Buddha, but he hadn't expected things to develop to this extent.

Hongmeng Purple Qi? This was something Jiang Liu hadn't foreseen at all.

And thus, he hadn't anticipated that it would draw out a Saint in this situation...

No matter what thoughts were going through the minds of Jiang Liu and Maitreya Buddha, as they watched Kunpeng about to be suppressed by the power of the Jieyin Treasure Banner, suddenly, a pink light also emerged from the void.

A pink embroidered ball suddenly appeared in mid-air, blocking the front of the Jieyin Treasure Banner.

The pink light collided with the golden light of the Jieyin Treasure Banner.

There was no earth-shattering impact, only a collision like that between sunlight and snow, silent and mutually neutralizing.

A pink Embroidered Ball slightly retreated and positioned itself in front of Kunpeng, clearly protecting Kunpeng!

Similarly, the Jieyin Treasure Banner also pulled back a bit, standing off against the pink Embroidered Ball from a distance.

Immediately, both the pink Embroidered Ball and the Jieyin Treasure Banner emitted a dazzling radiance.

However, they were no longer confronting each other.

The pink Embroidered Ball, its light sweeping over Kunpeng, pierced through the sky and disappeared.

In the same way, the light from the Jieyin Treasure Banner enveloped Maitreya Buddha and Yuanling, also piercing through the sky and vanishing without a trace.

All activity ceased abruptly!

Jiang Liu had been maintaining a video call with Yuanling and had been watching the battle inside with his own eyes, witnessed the Jieyin Treasure Banner sweeping over Yuanling and Maitreya Buddha. Jiang Liu was somewhat curious, wondering what the form of the Sage Guidance looked like and whether he could see what he looked like.

But without any warning, the video call stopped abruptly!

The feeling was like someone watching TV comfortably when suddenly, the power in the house went out!

"Was the Venerable Sage aware of this system's video feature? Did he forcibly cut it off, or did the Jieyin Treasure Banner sweep Maitreya and Yuanling away to a place that even my game system cannot reach?"

The sudden halt of the video had also stopped Jiang Liu in mid-air, as he murmured to himself in contemplation.

If his friend chat function was like the communication signals of his previous life, then had Yuanling suddenly gone to a place outside of the communication signal's reach?

Moreover, this scene was very familiar!

While suspended in mid-air and the video abruptly ending, Jiang Liu murmured to himself in contemplation.

Immediately after, Jiang Liu sent several more messages to Yuanling.

"Yuanling, what's your situation now? You haven't run into trouble, have you?"

"Yuanling, where are you now? Can you receive my messages?"

"Yuanling, are you still there?"

...

Several messages were sent, almost like a barrage of desperate calls.

However, these messages, like stones sinking into the sea, received no response whatsoever.

"This situation, it feels very familiar!"

All the messages had gone unanswered, but Yuanling's avatar was still lit in the friend list, which made Jiang Liu murmur to himself, while at the same time, his gaze shifted slightly and fell on Gaoyang's avatar.

"Is Gaoyang's situation the same, could she also have fallen into the hands of a sage?" The familiar scene naturally gave rise to such thoughts in Jiang Liu's mind.

But, if Gaoyang had fallen into the hands of a sage, then whose hands would she be in?

There are only a few sages.

Laozi, Yuanshi Heavenly Venerable, Sect Master Tongtian, Nvwa, Jieyin, Zhunti...

The Three Pure Ones and I seem to have no connection, so it probably isn't them, right?

It's the same for Nvwa. If there's the only relation I could claim with Nvwa, it would be through Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong is my disciple and was transformed from a Sky-Mending Stone left by Nvwa's mending of the sky?

Thinking carefully, the likelihood of Gaoyang being with Nvwa seems also very slim, doesn't it?

"So does that mean it's very possible that Gaoyang has fallen into the hands of Jieyin and Zhunti?" After thinking through the process of elimination, Jiang Liu's heart sank again.

It appeared that the Buddhist Sect still had a tight grip on his weakness!

"Master? What are you thinking about? Why aren't we flying anymore? Weren't we going to rescue Yuanling?"

Regardless of the thoughts in Jiang Liu's mind, Sun Wukong noticed Jiang Liu had stopped mid-air and, despite seeing Jiang Liu deep in thought, his impatient nature couldn't help but make him ask.

Naturally, his words also interrupted Jiang Liu's train of thoughts.

"No need, no need to rescue!" Hearing Sun Wukong's words, Jiang Liu came back to his senses and, at the same time, shook his head as he spoke.

Indeed, both Yuanling and Maitreya Buddha had been taken by the Jieyin Treasure Banner. Where would he go to rescue them?

Actually, when Jiang Liu had rushed over with Sun Wukong, he didn't really expect to be able to rescue Yuanling from beneath the hands of a Quasi-Saint.

The most he could do by rushing over there was to be prepared just in case.

If Yuanling indeed met with misfortune, his Soul-Returning Spell could bring people back to life.

But now, it seemed unnecessary.

"Aren't we going anymore?" Jiang Liu's answer made Sun Wukong look at him somewhat strangely.

"Let's go back!"

Shaking his head, the news of the Hongmeng Purple Qi had also thrown Jiang Liu's mind into some disarray, and without explaining much of his thoughts, Jiang Liu and Sun Wukong turned around and flew towards the direction of Wujing and the others.

However, while flying in mid-air, Jiang Liu's mind was filled with a myriad of doubts.

Was the Hongmeng Purple Qi originally hidden within Yuanling's body?

Then, where had that streak of Hongmeng Purple Qi gone?
