Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

"As expected, although he gained Zhurong's bloodline, this guy's intelligence is not high!" Watching Sun Wukong easily lure the guy out of the cave, Jiang Liu murmured to himself.

Yes, from the very beginning, Jiang Liu felt that this guy's intelligence wasn't high.

For example, after Sun Wukong stirred the lava with his Jingu Bang, this guy jumped out, roaring like a beast.

And then? The battle went on, and even though this guy kept roaring, he didn't utter a single word, which shows that his intelligence is indeed quite low?

Perhaps he lacks the ability to think calmly and behaves like a beast?

Maybe? It could be because the guy who absorbed Zhurong's bloodline doesn't have enough aptitude, so he finds it difficult to maintain a calm mind?

Or perhaps, the Ancient Witch Clan is inherently just a bunch of blockheads!?

No matter the reason, this guy's intelligence is indeed low, so Sun Wukong could easily lure him out.

In Jiang Liu's view, this is naturally a happy event.

Under Sun Wukong's lure, the dozens-of-feet-high Zhurong followed behind him with roaring rage and had already walked more than ten miles in a short time.

As Zhurong's roars rang out and extremely hot aura exploded, countless people within a hundred miles looked over.

At the same time, they were secretly shocked, seeing such a gigantic figure. Who on earth is this great being?

The duration of the Duel Contract wasn't long. Soon after Sun Wukong lured Zhurong out, the duration of the Duel Contract expired.

Jiang Liu refreshed the Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra and Strengthening Body-Protection Spell for Sun Wukong and the others. Immediately, Zhu Bajie and others started to surround and attack.

Despite Zhurong having high health and defense, Sun Wukong and their attacks did little damage to him, as if they were just lightly scratching an itch.

Jiang Liu could see that the speed at which Zhurong's health bar was decreasing was indeed as slow as a turtle.

However, fortunately, Zhurong had already been lured out, so with the grinding fight, his injury became increasingly severe.

Without the power of flames and lava to restore injuries, his health bar steadily declined.

In usual times, during regular skirmishes, neither Jiang Liu nor Zhu Bajie and others needed to replenish their Mana.

But in this drawn-out battle of blood grinding, everyone felt their Mana depleting rapidly.

Then, everyone started to drink Mana Potions to restore their Mana.

Under the deliberate guidance of Sun Wukong and others, the battlefield moved to a relatively remote location.

Yet, even so, the battle's destruction at the level of Daluo Golden Immortal, touching the Quasi-Saint Level, was still incredibly terrifying.

Additionally, with Jiang Liu and the others besieging Zhurong, the battle lasted for two Chinese Hours.

Two Chinese Hours equate to nearly four hours, a battle that was indeed exhausting, making Jiang Liu and others mentally fatigued.

The surrounding area of dozens of miles had long turned into scorched earth. Moreover, because of the terrible destruction, a large area within dozens of miles had sunk in, resembling a huge basin.

Golden Flood Dragon Scissors!

After maintaining two Chinese Hours of battle, seeing Zhurong's injuries becoming more severe, he finally reached the point of exhaustion. Sun Wukong raised his hand, and the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors were unleashed again, transforming into two golden flood dragons, slicing towards Zhurong.

Although this strike did not manage to sever Zhurong's body, it finally emptied Zhurong's health bar.

Then, the towering figure of several dozen feet fell to the ground with a crash, unmoving, seemingly lifeless.

Jiang Liu raised his hand, using the final blow, the Lotus Spell, on Zhurong's body to finish the job.

Finally, successfully defeated Zhurong.

"Phew! Finally killed it!" With Zhurong really defeated, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, Little White Dragon, and even Jiang Liu himself felt as if their strength had been drained.

One by one, they didn't care about their image, directly sitting on the ground to rest.

"Master, you guys are really something!" Sun Wukong, still full of energy, looked at Jiang Liu and the others, shaking his head as he spoke.

Seeing Sun Wukong's demeanor, showing no signs of exhaustion after two Chinese Hours of intense combat, Jiang Liu and the others were all inwardly impressed.

Needless to say, just the stamina of Sun Wukong was far beyond anyone else's comparison.

"Is this guy truly like a perpetual motion machine? Never knowing fatigue!?" Looking at Sun Wukong's spirited demeanor, Jiang Liu secretly grumbled to himself.

Alright, in the original story, Sun Wukong was just like this?

Remembering the original story's part about taming Zhu Bajie where Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie fought from dusk till dawn, in the end, Zhu Bajie was caught because he ran out of strength, unlike Sun Wukong's stamina?

Of course, Sun Wukong's stamina was astonishing, but what caught Jiang Liu's attention at this time was the system notification just now.

Notification: Gained Experience Points 298 million, Money 8,200 taels.

The system notification sounded, leaving Jiang Liu secretly astonished; close to 300 million experience points!?

This Zhurong at level 89 truly has high experience points!

Moreover, the money obtained was over 8000 taels?

This made Jiang Liu recall Maitreya Buddha; earlier, after clearing a wave of level 90 Maitreya Buddha, he had obtained around 300 million experience points, right?

Unexpectedly, this Zhurong also has such high experience points.

Only to say, worthy of the Ancient Ancestral Witch bloodline, did the team on the Journey to the West for Scriptures take a whole two Chinese hours to defeat him?

This 300 million experience points are well-deserved indeed.

As usual, after taking down a fairly formidable opponent, Jiang Liu habitually opened his inventory space to see if any valuable loot had dropped.

Although, for Jiang Liu right now, he completely disregarded any equipment below Legendary Level.

"Eh? Are there really good items?" With the inventory space opened, Jiang Liu's heart moved slightly with joy.

The level 89 Golden BOSS took two Chinese hours to defeat, and indeed it dropped several good items.

Jiang Liu swept his eyes over them, alright, most are below Legendary Level; only two items truly caught his eye.

A skill book and a scarlet axe.

First, Jiang Liu's gaze fell on the skill book; just the skill of Compassionate Bodhisattva, after waiting for so long, did a skill book that he could use finally drop?

Jiang Liu certainly did not hesitate, immediately investing a skill point, and after checking the skill's attribute information, generously added three more skill points to upgrade the skill to the Great Perfection realm.

Then, after reviewing the skill's attribute information, Jiang Liu nodded in satisfaction.

All-or-Nothing (Great Perfection): Consumes 10% of maximum life value, deals 20% maximum life value damage to the target, cooldown time of 10 seconds.

"Impressive!" Looking at this level 80 skill of Compassionate Bodhisattva, Jiang Liu secretly nodded.

Compassionate Bodhisattva is a support profession, but at level 80, there is finally a powerful attack skill?

Directly dealing 20% maximum life value damage to the target?

It means that if the opponent's health bar drops to around 20%, using this move would deliver a decisive blow, wouldn't it?

However, noting the conditions for activating the skill, Jiang Liu's face darkened a bit; it requires consuming 10% of his own life value?

So it's essentially a skill that hurts the enemy by a thousand and oneself by eight hundred?

Alright, needing to consume 10% of one's own life value to activate; it's a skill that exchanges damage, and is destined not to be used as a regular skill.

However, if forced into a critical moment, it can still play a significant role.

For example, when battling this Zhurong just now, if he activated All-or-Nothing while self-healing and killing it, wouldn't it be quite effortless?

Therefore, does this qualify as a Divine Skill!?

"Wait, something doesn't feel quite right!" Thinking further, Jiang Liu shook his head and felt the situation indeed wasn't quite right.

Because Zhurong is only level 89, hence it could be effective.

But against those at Quasi-Saint level 91 and above? Such rule-based skills wouldn't work, correct?

Regarding Daluo Golden Immortal level, aside from Zhurong as a special exception, shouldn't defeating them be not a difficult task for the Journey to the West for Scriptures team?

Thinking about this, Jiang Liu shook his head, deeming the All-or-Nothing skill somewhat unremarkable.

However, overall, the skill is still robust, especially for Compassionate Bodhisattva with healing effects.

Shaking his head, Jiang Liu temporarily moved his gaze away from the All-or-Nothing skill.

Soon, Jiang Liu refocused on the equipment within the inventory space.

This piece of equipment appears to be a fiery red axe, and as Jiang Liu's gaze landed on the axe, the corresponding attribute information emerged before him.

Flame Demon Battle Axe (Epic Level): Level Requirement 75, Attack Power +12.8 million, Special Effect: Demon Clan equipment increases Attack Power by 15%, Durability 1200/1650.

"Wujing!" Upon checking the Flame Demon Battle Axe's attribute information, Jiang Liu's gaze fell on Sha Wujing.

"Master!" At Jiang Liu's words, Sha Wujing's eyes brightened as he stepped forward.

"This axe seems quite suitable for you; try if it fits your hand?" Jiang Liu said, presenting the Flame Demon Battle Axe to Sha Wujing.

A Dharma Treasure with an Attack Power increase of 12.8 million and a Demon Clan increase effect of 15%; it brings more than 14 million Attack Power, right?

Compared to the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade in his hand, this is much stronger.
