Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 536 Spear-wielding Dragon Girl
Although Xiao Chen was skilled in using the halberd, his halberd technique was already superb.

The halberd wielded by him was powerful and fierce, each strike carrying the force of an overwhelming mountain, displaying an aura of dominance.

King Golden Horn wielded a halberd and would often engage in fierce battles with the Scorpion Demon for three hundred rounds.

That's not a problem.

However, both spears and halberds belong to the category of long weapons, and they share many similarities in their uses such as thrusting, stabbing, and sweeping.

Those who can use the halberd can naturally also use a spear.

Moreover, Xiao Chen also had the "Yang Family Spear Technique of Yang Guoshan" in his mind.

At this moment.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the training ground was heavy, as if a storm was brewing and dark clouds were pressing down on the city.

Kang Jinlong was dressed in a white outfit with a bright red robe over it. She held two maces in her hands and looked heroic and graceful.

With a light leap, she landed steadily in the center of the training ground, calm and composed.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

……

With Kang Jinlongnu's encouragement.

The pair of golden maces in his hands, shaped like dragons, suddenly emitted a dragon's roar.

The Golden Dragon Mace emitted a dark golden light, as if two ancient dragons, which had been sleeping in the primordial world, had been quietly awakened.

That heavy, sharp intent spread like a tangible force, causing the surrounding air to freeze and the space to seem to be shattered by this intent.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, all was silent, except for the pair of golden maces radiating boundless power, which chilled people to the bone.

The battle horns are about to sound.

The languid and alluring look on Kang Jinlong's face vanished instantly, replaced by a layer of frost that had never melted in millennia, as cold as ice.

However, this aloofness did not completely conceal the alluring charm within her.

Her jawline was sharp and beautiful, her thin lips were tightly pressed together, and they were a tempting cherry color. Even when issuing commands, her cool voice seemed to carry a captivating magnetism.
"Since this is a friendly exchange, I will only use my cultivation level as a Xuanxian to fight you, so as not to bully the weak."

"Yang Guoshan, you make the first move. Let me see just how strong you really are. Don't hold back."

"Use whatever marksmanship you have, don't worry about hurting me, I have my own way of dealing with it!"

At this moment.

Kang Jinlong's icy expression, combined with her graceful figure and stunning beauty, created an extreme, contradictory attraction.

It is a unique charm that perfectly blends "strength and beauty" and "majesty and allure".

Xiao Chen gripped the three-thousand-pound cold iron spear tightly. The spear was heavy, yet it remained as steady as a rock in his hand.

A long spear with a black tassel, the black tassel fluttering.

The enormous spearhead, gleaming with a chilling light, was terrifying and menacing, pointing directly at Kang Jinlongnu.

It seemed as if it wanted to pierce through Kang Jinlongnu directly.

One shot pierced a huge hole!
Xiao Chen knew that he was, after all, Kang Jinlong's subordinate, and in such situations, he needed to follow certain rules.

Based on his understanding of Kang Jinlong, he knew she would not make the first move; instead, she would let him make a few moves to demonstrate her magnanimity and authority.

Xiao Chen imitated the starting stance of the "Yang Family Spear Technique of Yang Guo Mountain" from his memory, his posture upright and his momentum unstoppable, and he let out a low shout:
"Star Lord, I'm sorry!"

The gun has long been hailed as the "king of weapons".

Its moves are endlessly varied, including stabbing, slashing, and picking... there are many different styles.

As soon as the words were spoken, a cold glint appeared first, followed by a spear shadow that moved like a dragon, carrying the force of wind and thunder.

Xiao Chen rode the raging wind, using its momentum to leap forward. He unified his waist and stance, concentrating all his strength into the tip of his spear, and thrust it forward, aiming straight for Kang Jinlongnu's vital chest.

He, the Golden Horn King, will today unite man and weapon as one.

A long spear slays the Dragon Girl!

That long spear, like an angry, dark dragon, roared out from the depths of the Nine Netherworld, carrying a chilling and fierce momentum, and pounced towards Kang Jinlongnu, as if it wanted to completely devour her into the endless darkness.

Facing Xiao Chen's gunshot.

The Dragon Girl of Halloween moved with a graceful, butterfly-like gait, turning elegantly to the side.

The deadly spear tip narrowly grazed past her crimson robe.

The trailing crimson brocade robe billowed and rippled around her, like a blazing flame, perfectly outlining her exquisite and captivating curves beneath her snow-white outfit. It was as if it were a masterpiece of nature, leaving people in awe.

"A meteor chasing the moon!"

Xiao Chen let out a loud shout, which was as loud as a thunderclap.

Halfway through the shooting, a sudden change occurred.

The tip of the spear suddenly gleamed brightly, as if trailing a long star tail, flashing with dazzling light. Swift as thunder and lightning, it turned and thrust straight at Kang Jinlongnu's face, unstoppable and unstoppable.

Kang Jinlong's eyes flashed, revealing a hint of appreciation mixed with a touch of challenge. She shouted:

"Well done!"

Without dodging or avoiding, she swung her right hand, wielding the Dragon Claw, upwards with fluid and natural movements.

The mace unleashed a sharp, dark golden arc of light, resembling a golden dragon baring its fangs and claws as it lunged fiercely at the spear.

The dark golden light emanating from the golden mace illuminated her perfect profile.

Kang Jinlong's cherry lips parted slightly, her breath coming out coldly. Her long, fair neck, her large, thunderous breasts, and her stunningly long legs that occasionally peeked out from under her red robe during vigorous movements...

All of this adds a breathtaking allure to the fierce confrontation.

"clang--!"

The sound of metal clashing and sparks flying!
The sound of metal clashing against metal, like thunder, resounded across the training ground, making people's eardrums ache and their hearts tremble.

The cold iron spear transformed into a black dragon, as if it had sprung from the abyss of darkness, carrying endless chill and malevolent energy, seemingly intent on devouring all light in the world.

The Golden Dragon Mace transformed into a giant golden dragon, radiating a sacred and majestic aura, as if a god had descended to earth to suppress evil in the world.

The collision of the two is like a confrontation between heaven and earth, a clash between good and evil.

For a while.

The situation on the training ground changed dramatically.

On one side, the water is as dark as an abyss; on the other, it is as golden as the sun.

"This Kang Jinlongnu's power is not bad..."

Xiao Chen felt an overwhelming force surging up along the shaft of the spear.

The power was like a surging tide, wave after wave, like a torrent of ten thousand horses galloping, vast and mighty.

At this moment.

Xiao Chen pondered to himself that his identity was ultimately "Yang Guoshan, the Sky Patrol Captain," not the unruly "Golden Horn King, the Demon King of the Lower Realm."

Therefore, he should not reveal too much of his martial arts skills and strength.

In such situations, it is necessary to conceal one's strength.

King Golden Horn could only subtly reveal a tiny bit of his strength, just enough to make it happen, like a dragonfly skimming the water, leaving no trace.

"Lord Star Lord, that's quite the strength!"

Xiao Chen praised, a perfectly timed look of amazement on his face, as if he were truly shocked by Kang Jinlongnu's power.

He pretended to be so shocked that his hands and feet went numb, his blood and qi surged like a tide, his face turned slightly pale, and his body swayed slightly, like a withered leaf in the wind, about to fall, showing a disheveled state.

However, to be honest, it is the second of the seven constellations of the Azure Dragon in the East.

The fighting prowess of this Golden Dragon Girl is truly not to be underestimated.

Practicing Buddhism is like rowing against the current, if you don’t move forward, you will move backward.

As time goes by, everyone is constantly improving and enhancing their abilities.

Compared to his last encounter with this Kang Jinlong woman, she had clearly made great progress. Whether it was the proficiency of her moves or the control of her power, she had made a qualitative leap, as if she had been reborn and was completely different from before.

Although Kang Jinlong suppressed her cultivation to around the Xuanxian realm, Xiao Chen could keenly sense that she was not far from the Taiyi Jinxian realm.

It's as if there's only a thin layer of paper separating us, enough to break through at any moment!
Perhaps, she only needs one opportunity to break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

"Could it be that after I killed the Pleiades Rooster of the Western White Tiger Seven Mansions, the incense offerings bestowed by the Kang Jinlong have become even more abundant?"

Xiao Chen couldn't help but wonder to himself.

After all, the Pleiades Rooster and the Golden Dragon are both among the Twenty-Eight Mansions, each occupying a significant celestial domain in this vast and boundless sky filled with twinkling stars.

Logically speaking, the Twenty-Eight Mansions usually gather in one temple to enjoy the offerings and veneration from the people.

Perhaps the death of the Pleiades rooster stirred up a thousand waves among the Twenty-Eight Mansions, triggering a series of chain reactions.

This sudden change shattered the previously relatively stable distribution of offerings among the Twenty-Eight Mansions.

Like a reshuffling of cards, the various forces of the Twenty-Eight Mansions are secretly vying for incense offerings and fortune.

The incense offerings for the Twenty-Eight Mansions were also redistributed.

The Horn constellation is the "Horn of the Azure Dragon," and is the first of the seven constellations of the Azure Dragon in the East; the Legs constellation is the "Tail of the White Tiger," and is the first of the seven constellations of the White Tiger in the West.

Kang, the "neck of the Azure Dragon," is the second of the seven constellations of the Azure Dragon in the east; Mao, the "back of the White Tiger," is the fourth of the seven constellations of the White Tiger in the west.

Among the Twenty-Eight Mansions, the most powerful are the seven mansions of the Eastern Azure Dragon, led by the "Horned Dragon" (角木蛟), the head of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, and the seven mansions of the Western White Tiger, led by the "Kui Wood Wolf" (奎木狼).

As the saying goes, "Dragons soar and tigers leap, dragons fight and tigers battle."

The Azure Dragon constellations of the East and the White Tiger constellations of the West are like two heroes in the sky, each leading one of the constellations in the east and west, vying for supremacy and refusing to yield to the other.

same.

The most popular and abundant offerings naturally go to the seven constellations of the Azure Dragon in the East and the seven constellations of the White Tiger in the West.

If the White Tiger constellation in the west were to lose the "Pleiades Rooster," it would be as if the White Tiger had lost its "back."

The seven constellations of the White Tiger in the West, which were originally closely cooperating, now have a huge gap in their alliance, and their strength will inevitably be greatly reduced.

In competition with other constellations, the Western White Tiger constellation will be in a passive position. Like a tiger that has lost its "back", it will be difficult to show its former majesty.

What diminishes, grows.

Meanwhile, the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions of the East will become increasingly prominent among the Twenty-Eight Mansions, and the Kang Jinlong Mansion, which is the second of the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions of the East, will also benefit from it.

Perhaps, as a result, Kang Jinlongnu received more offerings and her strength increased further. At this very moment.

On the training ground, the situation was constantly changing.

Xiao Chen brandished his spear and danced, while Kang Jinlongnu swung her mace in response.

With a clang!

The Dragon-Slaying Golden Mace and the Cold Iron Spear clashed violently, their sharpness rekindled.

The Dragon-Slaying Mace in the hands of the Golden Dragon Maiden did not directly clash with the spearhead, but instead swept across the side of the spear at an extremely mysterious angle, like a ghost.

In an instant.

A strange and unpredictable "power of metal" surged forth, carrying an eerie aura that could pierce through metal and dismantle any sharp edge.

This magical "Kangjin Power" was like an invisible blade, instantly disintegrating the powerful impact of the spear layer by layer, causing the spear's attack to stall.

His originally fierce aura instantly turned into a listless and dispirited state.

Xiao Chen's domineering spear force, originally carrying an indomitable momentum, pierced towards Kang Jinlongnu.

however.

His domineering spear was like hitting a bottomless abyss that could devour metal and was indestructible, or like sinking into an invisible swamp.

Every step forward was incredibly difficult.

Most of the force of the spear was easily deflected by Kang Jinlongnu, like a clay ox sinking into the sea, never to return.

Only a faint sense of powerlessness remained.

For a while.

Xiao Chen felt the cold iron black-tasseled spear in his hand become limp and powerless, as if all its strength had been drained away by an invisible yet powerful force.

It resembled a dark dragon whose spine had been removed and whose strength had been exhausted.

The shaft of that black-tasseled spear seemed to have been softened by the strange power emanating from Kang Jinlongnu...

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

have to say.

Kang Jinlong's breath was truly powerful.

The once strong and straight spear with its hard shaft forged from black iron instantly became soft and powerless, losing its former ferocity.

At this moment, it trembled slightly like a candle flickering in the wind, emitting a faint but clear hum.

It's as if this long spear is lamenting its own powerlessness...

"What powerful metal energy!"

Xiao Chen suddenly understood that this was the innate divine power of Kang Jin Long Nu—"Kang Jin Power".

"Only break its momentum, without damaging its form."

"This is the 'corrosion of metal' effect of the power of Kang Jin."

Kang Jinlong's clear, cold voice rang out, carrying a hint of instruction:
"This spear belongs to the metal element in the Five Elements theory. Although it is very powerful, it is most afraid of my strong metal power."

"No matter how powerful the metal force is, it will gradually dissipate like snow melting in the spring sun under my 'Metal Corrosion' divine power."

"Stop using metal-based divine abilities, switch tactics!"

Xiao Chen knew that what the other party said was true; this Kangjin power was indeed the nemesis of his metal-type spear force.

There was a pool of water nearby.

"Water Dragon Yin!"

Xiao Chen's inspiration surged, and using the spear shaft as a pivot, his body spun violently like a hurricane. The spear swept back with the momentum, like a dragon swinging its tail, stirring up the surging water in the pool.

The water instantly condensed into a ball of frigid ice, like a giant, icy dragon, tightly binding the cold iron spear.

In an instant.

The "Cold Iron Spear" in his hand, which originally radiated a chilling metallic light, transformed into a crystal-clear "Frost Spear" with an intensely cold aura.

The "Frost Spear" shimmered with a ghostly blue light, seemingly containing boundless profound power. The surrounding air was condensed into tiny ice crystals by this chilling aura, which fluttered down in all directions.

Xiao Chen gripped the icy spear, flicked his wrist, and unleashed the mysterious spell "Transforming Water into a River."

"Crash!"

"Crash!"

……

In an instant, the training ground transformed into a vast lake, its waves surging and crashing against the edges of the training ground like a stampede of ten thousand horses, creating a deafening roar.

When Yang Guoshan and Yang Long were in the mortal world, they were the sons of fishermen, grew up by the sea, and were also good at swimming.

His memories also contain many water-based spells and supernatural abilities.

Although the Golden Spear is known as "the Golden Spear Never Falls," it was used to challenge the "Kang Jinlong Girl."

However, it seems to have encountered its nemesis, and it easily becomes weak.

The ice gun, on the other hand, was just right.

He used the "power of water" to counter Kang Jinlong's "power of metal," and was naturally not restrained.

Subsequently.

Xiao Chen walked on the waves, and the spray beneath his feet instantly froze into ice lotuses!
With a sweep of his spear, he stirred up a thousand piles of snow.

The snow-white waves shimmered in the sunlight, like shattered jade petals, a breathtaking sight, yet also like thousands of sharp blades, carrying a fierce momentum.

at the same time.

The spear in his hand transformed once more, becoming a hundred-foot-long blade of ice.

"Star Lord, take another shot from me!"

Xiao Chen shouted and a hundred-foot-long icy blade swept towards Kang Jinlongnu, the very same "Sweeping Through a Thousand Armies" that shook the four directions!
This move caused a dramatic change in the weather.

His icy spear, which had been used for "picking," "stabbing," and "thrusting," was now being swept out at Kang Jinlongnu's waist!

Countless shattered ice blade fragments and newly swirling, bone-chilling cold currents surged from behind his spear like a raging tide, crushing towards Kang Jinlongnu with overwhelming force, attempting to completely engulf her in this torrent of ice blades.

"This time, your strength was acceptable, but the change was too abrupt!"

"We should make more improvements in the future."

Kang Jinlong's crimson robe fluttered in the wind, her fingers pointing with a lazy smile as she rose like a light cloud, easily avoiding the range of the spear's attack.

The pair of long, slender legs, encased in a bright red battle robe, drew a breathtaking arc in the air. Her snow-white skin was faintly visible beneath the red robe, exuding an ultimate allure amidst the danger.

at the same time.

"retreat!"

With a sharp shout, Kang Jinlong followed up with her left mace, transforming the slash into a sweep, and a golden streak carrying a fierce whistling sound as it tore through the gale struck Xiao Chen's waist and abdomen.

The golden ribbon resembled a golden dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, exuding a menacing aura.

This attack forced Xiao Chen back, forcing him to take a few steps back to regain his footing.

"Pah, pah, pah!"

"Pah, pah, pah!"

……

With each step Xiao Chen took, large splashes of water appeared.

however.

Kang Jinlong did not pursue the attack, but instead hovered in mid-air as lightly as a cloud, with surging magical energy flowing beneath her jade feet.

The hem of her bright red brocade robe was still swaying slightly due to inertia, but she was indifferent, as if the thunderous strike just now was merely a casual pluck of a string.

At this moment.

Kang Jinlong's stunningly beautiful face remained expressionless, yet it exuded an undeniable, domineering charm.

Those deep, sharp dragon eyes, like the eyes of a snake hunting, were staring at Xiao Chen with great interest, revealing a sense of scrutiny and anticipation.

She gazed at Xiao Chen silently, as if patiently waiting for him to unleash all his skills.

In order to find out their true abilities.

"Yang Family Spears..."

Xiao Chen took a deep breath, focused his mind, and integrated the essence of the Yang family spear technique passed down from Yang Guoshan into his mind. Countless profound spear techniques surged into his mind like a tide.

He stepped out with the Big Dipper formation, his body moving like lightning as he retreated. At the same time, he flicked his spear, like a dragon emerging from its cave, and thrust it straight at Kang Jinlongnu.

The way to use a spear is ultimately different from that of using a halberd.

The halberd is like a ferocious beast, focusing on "wide-range slashing", with a powerful and majestic momentum, like the force of thunder.

The spear, on the other hand, is like a nimble dragon, valued for its speed and agility, unpredictable and elusive.

If we disregard supernatural powers such as "three heads and six arms," ​​"following the laws of heaven and earth," and "incarnation outside the body," and only consider martial arts...

This refers to the monsters' "pure martial arts" performance in the original "Journey to the West" text, excluding magical treasures and supernatural powers.

Kui Mulang (Yellow Wind Monster) is truly a master of one-on-one combat.

Kui Mulang easily dealt with the combination of "Pigsy and Sandy" and even managed to capture Sandy, demonstrating his exceptional martial arts skills.

Kui Mulang could fight Sun Wukong for fifty or sixty rounds without a clear winner, and his martial arts were superior to those of the Green Lion, White Elephant, Nine-Headed Insect, and Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.

Kang Jinlong is the "Second Constellation of the Azure Dragon in the East," while Kui Mulang is the "First Constellation of the White Tiger in the West." Although there is a difference between the two, it is only a hair's breadth.

"If you only use 'Yang Guoshan's spear technique' and abandon my 'Golden Horn King's halberd technique'."

"Hidden skills are too numerous, making it difficult to deal with this Kang Jinlong woman."

Xiao Chen pondered to himself, but his hands did not stop moving in the slightest.

He then unleashed another move from the Yang family spear technique, "Chaotic Dance of the Galaxy," and his spear spun like a windmill, creating a myriad of spear shadows.

The gun's shadow carried countless illusory stars, densely packed, like twinkling stars in the night sky, or like surging waves, one after another rising.

It swept towards Kang Jinlongnu.
