Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 659: Calculations

"Amitabha, these female demons do indeed have some fortune…"

Hidden in the shadows, Maitreya Buddha had witnessed everything that had transpired, which made him softly chant a Buddhist mantra under his breath and nod in secret.

If it were an ordinary time, these female demons, being able to keep their Spirit Platform clear and resolute at critical moments and submitting, would indeed be considered figures of note, and retracting their own forces would also be a decent choice.

However, today was different, comparatively, letting them face this calamity was evidently of the highest value.

These female demons clearly understood the fearsomeness of the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team, so they didn't dare to trouble them at all.

With Master Xuanzang and his companions having left, how could these female demons continue to pluck up their courage to strike against them next?

For Maitreya Buddha, this was all very simple.

Given the pace at which Jiang Liu and his companions were traveling westward, it was not fast; after two or three days, they had only covered around a hundred and eighty miles.

Having waited in the shadows for two or three days, Maitreya Buddha finally saw an opportunity.

Usually, all seven of the Spider Demonesses from the Pansi Spider Cave would gather together and never be alone.

Finally, after waiting for two or three days, the demoness in red clothing went alone to the mountain top nearby to check on a Spirit Grass.

Seeing this, Maitreya Buddha knew his chance had arrived.

While waiting on the must-pass way of the demoness in red, he also used a transformation technique, taking on the appearance of Tang Monk.

"Having traveled for two or three days, those people from the Journey to the West team have only covered a hundred and eighty miles?" the demoness in red mused as she walked alone on the mountain pathway, pondering over the slow pace of the Journey to the West Team these past days, her heart growing heavy.

Because she feared the people from the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team, naturally, the Pansi Spider Cave also had a few Little Demons covertly keeping an eye on Jiang Liu and his companions.

Those responsible for surveillance were just Little Demons capable of speaking human language, nothing that would attract attention.

Thus, all seven female demons of the Pansi Spider Cave were aware of the situation with Master Xuanzang and his companions.

However, the news brought by the surveillance only served to add to the feeling of heaviness.

Two or three days to cover just a hundred and eighty miles, it was practically a snail's pace. Had the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team always been this slow? The demoness in red found this unlikely.

Could it be? Were they deliberately dawdling?

Thinking this, the heart of the demoness in red grew even heavier, suspecting that if they were dawdling on purpose, they must have some scheme in mind.

Merely thinking this felt dangerous.

"Since Master Xuanzang and his companions are dragging their feet and not willing to move fast, is it not possible for us sisters to hide from them? Should we perhaps head east and hide for ten days or half a month before returning to the Pansi Spider Cave?"

The demoness in red murmured to herself, thinking this approach didn't seem too bad. After ten days or half a month, the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team should have moved far away.

"Good! I'll first check on the Spirit Grass, then return and discuss it with my sisters!" After pondering silently for a moment, the demoness in red nodded to herself in determination.

"Amitabha…"

Just as the demoness in red was contemplating her situation and walking along the mountain path, suddenly, a chant of a Buddhist mantra echoed.

Hearing this sound, the demoness's heart trembled slightly, and she looked towards the source of the sound.

She saw a young monk in Buddha's Robe, quietly sitting by the roadside, resting alone.

"Xuan… Holy Monk Xuanzang…?" Looking at the figure seated by the roadside, the demoness in red felt a jolt in her heart, reflexively wanting to turn and flee.

However, feeling that it would be somewhat too mean, she took a deep breath and tried to appear calm as she asked, "Holy Monk, why are you alone here?"

"Amitabha, this poor monk has specifically come here alone to wait for you, Benefactor! I didn't want Bajie and the others to know, hence, I came secretly on my own!" replied Tang Monk, as transformed by Maitreya Buddha.

This statement made the demoness in red feel even more uneasy, her expression troubled as she asked, "May I know, Master Xuanzang, why have you intentionally avoided your disciples and come alone to seek me?"

"You Evil Demons have committed numerous atrocities. This poor monk can't keep you around. Previously, it was only because Bajie insisted on protecting you. This poor monk didn't want to argue with his disciples, but now, having gone far, this poor monk has come here alone!" Tang Monk, as transformed by Maitreya Buddha, replied.

Whoosh!

Hearing Maitreya Buddha say he had specifically come to kill her, the demoness in red's complexion drastically changed, and where was there any room for discussion? She immediately turned to flee for her life.

She had heard from Bajie's mouth that Master Xuanzang possessed a very high Cultivation Level, having nearly reached the threshold of the Taiyi Realm, much higher than her own.

Since he was specifically sitting here waiting for her, he must be holding all the winning cards.

"Thinking of escaping!?" Having waited here for so long, how could Maitreya Buddha agree to let her get away just as the demoness in red turned to flee?

He raised his hand, intending to seize her.

With a Quasi-Saint's Cultivation Level going against someone from the Demon Immortal Realm, it was naturally no different from squashing an ant.

However, just as he had slightly raised his hand, Maitreya Buddha realized something.

Right now, he was transformed into Master Xuanzang, whose Cultivation Level was at the Heavenly Immortal Realm; therefore, he shouldn't appear too strong.

With this thought, Maitreya Buddha quickly gave chase and then raised a Demon-Subduing Pestle, striking directly at the demoness in red.

"Since you insist on killing me, Holy Monk, don't blame me for being rude!" As the figure of Maitreya Buddha quickly caught up, the red-dressed Female Demon knew that she couldn't escape due to her slower speed and decided to fight desperately.

With a thought, the Female Demon turned around, waved her jade hand, and a Treasure Sword appeared in her hand, charging towards Tang Monk.

In an instant, the two engaged in a battle, exchanging dozens of moves in just a moment.

During the fight, the Female Demon could feel that Master Xuanzang's cultivation level was indeed higher than hers, putting her at a disadvantage as soon as the fight began.

She could hold up for a short time, but if the fight were prolonged, she would undoubtedly be defeated.

After grasping the situation, the Female Demon gritted her teeth.

Seeing the Demon-Subduing Pestle descending towards her again, the Female Demon raised her long sword to block it.

With both hands on the Treasure Sword, the Female Demon used all her strength.

However, Master Xuanzang's Demon-Subduing Pestle kept pressing down.

Clearly superior in cultivation, the Female Demon could only watch helplessly as the Demon-Subduing Pestle pressed down inch by inch.

Hiss hiss hiss!

However, just at that moment, suddenly, the scantily-clad Female Demon's navel shot out countless spider silk-like substances, sweeping towards Maitreya Buddha.

But Maitreya Buddha, reacting quickly, dodged it with a flash, and at the same time, he threw the Demon-Subduing Pestle at the Female Demon.

With a loud bang!

The Demon-Subduing Pestle struck the Female Demon hard, sending her flying and spitting blood from her mouth.

Clearly, the injury was severe.

Panic-stricken and not daring to prolong the fight, the Female Demon began retreating while fighting.

Maitreya Buddha pursued relentlessly from behind.

As one chased and the other fled, they quickly flew far away.

However, as she fled for her life, Maitreya Buddha's attacks continued unabated, striking the Female Demon repeatedly and aggravating her injuries.

Seeing that the distance to the Pansi Spider Cave was getting closer, Maitreya Buddha appeared even more urgent, attacking more fiercely.

Then, seizing an opportunity, he smashed the Demon-Subduing Pestle hard onto the back of the Female Demon's heart.

The terrible force directly shattered the Female Demon's heart.

Falling to the ground, the Female Demon's face turned deathly pale, breathing more out than in, obviously close to death.

Maitreya Buddha wanted to approach to deliver another blow, however, sensing something, he looked ahead.

He saw several figures running quickly towards them and, after a moment of hesitation, he turned around and quickly disappeared.

...

"Big sister! Big sister! What's happened to you!?" Several Female Demons from the Pansi Spider Cave came over and saw the badly injured state of the Female Demon, gasping in shock.

A Female Demon dressed in orange clothes reacted quickly and immediately took out a Spirit Pill from her bosom, shoving it into the mouth of the red-dressed Female Demon.

Then, she quickly carried the big sister back to the Pansi Spider Cave.

Inside the Pansi Spider Cave.

Learning of the severe injury of the red-dressed Female Demon, all the Female Demons naturally gathered around.

"Second sister, how is our big sister doing?" asked a purple-dressed Female Demon, urgently inquiring of the orange-dressed Female Demon.

Upon hearing this, the orange-dressed Female Demon's face showed despair as she shook her head, "No use, her heart has been shattered, and there's uncontrollable Buddhist power wreaking havoc inside her. There's simply no saving her..."

"Buddhist Power! Big sister, who did this to you? Who injured you so grievously?" Hearing that their big sister was fatally injured and beyond saving, the Female Demons from Pansi Spider Cave urgently asked.

"You, you all need to run, hurry, hurry up and run..."

With the aid of the Spirit Pill, barely hanging on to a breath, the red-dressed Female Demon, her face terrifyingly pale and speaking urgently yet weakly, shouted at her sisters.

"Hurry, hurry up and run, if you don't, Tang Monk will kill you all, one by one, just run, don't seek revenge..."

Extremely weak, using her last breath, she spoke these words, then the red-dressed Female Demon's breath ceased.

"Big sister!"

Watching the red-dressed Female Demon die right before them, cries of mourning echoed loudly throughout the Pansi Spider Cave, filling it with an atmosphere of grief and hatred.

"Tang Monk! It's Tang Monk!"

"No wonder he has been moving so slowly these past few days, deliberately delaying his departure! It turns out he will not rest until he has killed us all! Sisters, let's fight him!"
