26: Chapter 27 Fighting the Corpse Demon IV

Xiao Hei's black fur stood on end all over his body, transforming into his hundred-zhang true form.

Shadow Power wrapped around his Physical Body strength, firmly blocking the White Bone Demon's path of retreat.

Shadow Servant's chest swelled, Samadhi Divine Wind ready to be unleashed, holding his weapon from when he was alive, bright and gleaming.

Tiger Vanguard and Tiger Overlord had agile figures, their red-copper ring blades shimmering with cold light.

The three of them formed an encirclement, trapping the White Bone Demon tightly in the center.

The three Commander-level Taiyi Golden Immortal Shadow Servants attacked in unison, their pressure instantly sweeping across the entire area.

The White Bone Demon felt that the space around her had been completely sealed, and she could no longer escape; her expression changed drastically, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.

"What... what kind of demonic Spell is this! You white-robed Cultivator, how could you have such methods!"

The White Bone Demon exclaimed in shock. She could clearly feel that the strength of these three black shadows far exceeded her own, and that Shadow Power exuded a pressure that would make her Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

Tang Seng also widened his eyes, looking at the three suddenly appearing giant shadow beasts, his face full of shock.

He had never seen such bizarre and powerful helpers, forgetting his fear for a moment, only feeling disbelief.

Pigsy lay on the ground, watching this scene, instantly forgetting his pain, muttering to himself: "Brother White Dragon... these helpers are too powerful!"

Ao Lie's expression was indifferent, and he did not say much, once again activating his Shadow Monarch authority, giving orders in secret.

"Common-grade and Knight-grade Shadow Servants, seal the surroundings, isolate the aura, do not let it leak out!"

In an instant, countless tiny shadows surged out from the ground, dense and numerous, covering every corner of the mountain wilderness.

Two thousand five hundred Common-grade Heavenly Immortal Shadow Servants and four hundred Knight-grade Profound Immortal Shadow Servants formed an airtight shadow barrier.

They completely isolated this place from the outside world; even the secret surveillance from the Heavenly Court or the Western Heaven could not penetrate this shadow barrier to spy on even a fraction of the situation.

After doing all this, Ao Lie looked up at the White Bone Demon trapped in the center, his tone cold.

"You have repeatedly disguised yourself to harm others and sowed discord between me and my Master; today shall be your death day."

"Don't even think about it! I am a thousand-year-old Corpse Demon; how could I fall into your hands!"

The White Bone Demon's eyes flashed with a fierce light. Unwilling to be defeated just like that, she waved her white bone sword, channeled all her corpse Qi, and charged crazily towards Ao Lie, wanting to make a desperate final struggle.

"Do it!"

With Ao Lie's command, the three Commander-level Shadow Servants attacked instantly!

Xiao Hei roared, waving his giant palm with overwhelming force, striking towards the White Bone Demon's back, black wind swirling, sealing off all her paths of retreat.

Shadow Servant opened his mouth and spewed out Samadhi Divine Wind, the wind blades like sharp knives, cutting through the White Bone Demon's corpse Qi, causing her demonic power to dissipate.

Tiger Overlord used the Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell technique, his true form circling to the side of the White Bone Demon, the back of his blade fiercely wrapping around her neck, rendering her unable to move.

In the blink of an eye, the White Bone Demon was completely subdued by the three Shadow Servants, and the white bone sword flew from her hand.

The corpse Qi around her body was scattered, and she no longer had any power to resist, being fiercely pressed to the ground, her skull pressed against the ground, unable to move.

"Let go of me! You let go of me!"

The White Bone Demon struggled frantically, but it was to no avail, and she could only let out an unwilling roar.

Ao Lie walked forward slowly, looking down at the subdued White Bone Demon, his eyes without the slightest ripple.

This demon's cultivation is at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, she is cunning, and her Heart-Nature is vicious.

She is perfect to be refined into an elite Knight-grade Shadow Servant, with an upper limit of the Peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.

This will fill the gap in the combat power of his subordinates, and on the future journey to the West, he will have another great assistant.

He did not hesitate any longer, raising his hand to press on the White Bone Demon's head, a great force transmitted, and that skull instantly shattered.

Immediately afterwards, he fully activated the Shadow Monarch's extraction authority!

A jet-black Shadow Power flowed from his palm into the White Bone Demon's body, instantly wrapping around her demonic soul and Physical Body.

The White Bone Demon's Physical Body let out a shrill scream, her white bones being soaked by the Shadow Power.

In a moment, the white bones dissipated, and a black whirlwind swirled in place.

Carrying some black flame particles, it transformed into a charming and alluring "Black Sister"!?

She stood up, bowed and stood behind Ao Lie, wearing a suit of shadow bone armor, her eyes gleaming with jet-black, eerie light.

The Demonic Qi around her body was completely converted into Shadow Power, imposing and majestic, having fully inherited her metamorphosis techniques and corpse Qi Spells from when she was alive.

From then on, she became a brand-new elite Knight-grade Shadow Servant under Ao Lie's command, with her cultivation stabilized at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.

Of course, the upper limit can continue to improve as Ao Lie's cultivation breaks through.

Ao Lie felt the newly added Shadow Servant relationship within his body, his heart moved slightly.

After subduing the White Bone Demon, his own cultivation at the Peak of the Mystic Immortal Realm completely broke through the barrier, steadily stepping into the Early Stage of the Golden Immortal Realm!

All the Shadow Servants under his command also simultaneously received a feedback of power, their strength all increasing by a notch.

The Common-grade Heavenly Immortal Shadow Servants became more solidified, the Knight-grade Profound Immortal Shadow Servants all improved, and the three Commander-level Shadow Servants were one step closer to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level.

With his power skyrocketing, Ao Lie remained calm, waving his hand nonchalantly to retract all the Shadow Servants back into the Shadow Space.

He only left the White Bone Demon Shadow Servant hidden in his own shadow, ready for orders at any time.

The surrounding shadow barrier slowly dissipated, and the corpse Qi and Demonic Qi in the mountain wilderness completely disappeared.

It was as if the fierce battle just now had never happened, leaving only a mess on the ground, proving the danger that had just occurred.

Tang Seng came back to his senses, walked quickly to Ao Lie, looking at this Disciple who had always been low-key and forbearing, his face full of shock and guilt, his voice trembling.

"White Dragon... you..."

"Master, no need to say more; protecting you on the journey to the West to obtain the scriptures is my duty."

Ao Lie spoke indifferently, interrupting Tang Seng's words, his tone peaceful, without mentioning the Shadow Servants a single bit.

He knew that Tang Seng was a mortal with flesh eyes, so he only needed to let him know that the demon had been subdued.

There was no need for him to know too many secrets; this time, by isolating the aura and attacking, the Heavenly Court and the Western Heaven were completely unaware.

He was still that low-key White Dragon Disciple, having not exposed a single bit of his trump cards.

Pigsy also climbed up, leaned over to Ao Lie's side, his face full of admiration.

"Brother White Dragon, you are too amazing! I didn't expect you to have such powerful helpers. Now it's great, even if Brother Monkey isn't here, we won't be afraid of demons!"

Ao Lie nodded slightly, not giving much explanation, just looking at Tang Seng.

Honestly, if it weren't for this Master in front of him driving the Monkey King away, he wouldn't have risked being discovered by the Shadow Servants to fight.

"Master, the demon has been completely subdued; this place is not suitable for a long stay, let us hurry on our way, so as to avoid encountering other dangers."

Tang Seng looked at Ao Lie, then looked in the direction where the Monkey King had left, his heart filled with regret.

Tears welled up in his eyes, he pressed his palms together, and choked with sobs.

"Amitabha, it is all my fault, it is all my fault for having mortal flesh eyes, unable to distinguish right from wrong, wrongly blaming the Monkey King and driving him away. If I had trusted him even a little bit back then, I would not have ended up in this situation..."

He was full of guilt, but could not bring himself to go after the Monkey King, so he could only shed tears while chanting scriptures to repent.

Ao Lie looked at Tang Seng's remorseful appearance, his heart without too many ripples.

The bond between Master and Disciple is all destined; this time the Monkey King being driven away might not necessarily be a trial.

And he, taking advantage of this opportunity, subdued the White Bone Demon, this elite Knight-grade Shadow Servant, and himself broke through to the Golden Immortal Realm.

The Shadow Power under his command became increasingly powerful, and the road of forbearance took another solid step forward.

Buddhas of the Western Heaven, Gods of the Heavenly Court, just you wait and see.

One day, I, Ao Lie, will definitely rely on this Shadow Power to break free from all shackles and control my own destiny.

Ao Lie looked towards the West, a trace of imperceptible sharpness flashing in his eyes, then immediately returned to calm, supporting Tang Seng, and said in a deep voice.

"Master, let's go, the road to the Western Heaven is long, we still need to continue forward."

Pigsy led the horse, and the three of them, with hearts full of complexity, embarked on the journey to the West without the Monkey King.

It's just that none of them knew that the shadow foreshadowing laid by Ao Lie's secret subduing of the White Bone Demon would eventually shake the entire Three Realms landscape one day in the future.

And the driven-away Monkey King would eventually return when the Master and Disciples were in danger, continuing the Western journey legend.

The gloomy wind in the mountains dispersed, and the sunlight pierced through the clouds, sprinkling on the figures of the three Master and Disciples.

The road ahead is long, the tribulations have not stopped, and a brand new journey begins here.

...

"I wonder what the White Bone Demon should be called? How about we call her Rou Gu?"
