Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 606: Spend 850,000 to Kill the Drought Demon!

Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing.

The three disciples had grown incredibly strong. Sun Wukong had reached the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, while Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie had both achieved the level of Taiyi True Immortals. They had all received skill enhancements from Jiang Liu's Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra and Strengthening Body-Protection Spell, making their powers formidable.

However, in front of the Drought Demon, their strength seemed inconsequential.

The demon's incredibly tough physical defense made it so that not even the Golden Hoop, the Nine-Toothed Rake, nor the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade—these divine weaponds—could inflict significant damage upon its body.

This fearsome defensive power gave rise to a sense of powerlessness.

Hu hu hu!

As the main combatant, Sun Wukong swung his Jingu Bang with increasing ferocity, each move heavier than the last.

But the Drought Demon, wielding no weapons, only needed to clench its fists to engage in combat with Sun Wukong, and even the backlash was enough to make Sun Wukong somewhat unstable on his feet.

Sun Wukong was secretly shocked by the strength of the Drought Demon. No wonder it was not only bound by Tathagata's Buddhist Sutra, but also by chains; its power was truly terrifying.

Even with the enhancements from his master and the weakened state the demon was under due to the master's Weakness Talisman Divine Skills, there was still such a gap between them?

If his master wasn't there to assist, wouldn't he stand even less of a chance?

"No good, I must find a way to break through its physical defense!" Sun Wukong thought to himself, his heart becoming resolute.

With his abundant combat experience, in the twinkling of an eye, Sun Wukong's figure transformed into a giant ape hundreds of feet tall, employing the Divine Skills of Law of Heaven and Earth.

Then, he raised the Jingu Bang high, and the entire staff turned into a radiant crimson light.

The effect of the Twin Essence Oil activated once more, assuming the form of Law of Heaven and Earth, with the effects of the Twin Essence Oil, all defensive power was abandoned, converting instead to Attack Power.

Sun Wukong wielded his Jingu Bang and brought it down hard on the Drought Demon.

This strike was the most powerful attack he could deliver.

"Hand of Healing!" Having fought for so long and seeing their Health Bars empty, Jiang Liu understood they must have sustained some internal injuries. With a raise of his hand, he activated the Hand of Healing skill and a Holy Object descended from the sky, landing heavily towards the Drought Demon.

Although, overall, a level 90 golden version of the Drought Demon had strength that bordered on that of a Quasi-Saint.

However, without comprehending the power of Laws, the Drought Demon naturally struggled against Jiang Liu's rule-based skills.

Boom!

As the Holy Object descended, the Drought Demon let out a rough roar and then, raised its fists to smash against the Holy Object.

Considering its own body the strongest Divine Weapon, naturally, the Drought Demon disdained to dodge.

With a thunderous crash, the Holy Object implanted itself in the ground, pinning the Drought Demon down, who roared furiously, trying to get up.

In its frantic struggle, the indestructible Holy Object trembled slightly, but the Drought Demon could not stand up at all.

Almost at the same time, Sun Wukong's Golden Hoop landed on the body of the Drought Demon. The earth seemed to shake, as if the very land trembled below, and from this strike, the Drought Demon's head burst open, spilling dark red blood.

"Did it finally work?" Watching Sun Wukong launch his most powerful attack after forgoing defense, Jiang Liu murmured to himself.

Visible to the naked eye, the Health Bar above the Drought Demon's head had decreased slightly, by only about 5%.

"My strike only managed to crack open its skull?" Seeing his attack take effect, Sun Wukong didn't feel any joy. He could tell that the injury was minor, just a flesh wound, nothing serious.

Thud thud thud!

Though shocked, Sun Wukong reacted quickly and took advantage of the Drought Demon being pinned down by the Holy Object of the Hand of Healing. The Golden Hoop rained down blows continuously.

At the same time, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing also brought their weapons down.

"This? It seems like there's a chance!?" Watching Sun Wukong and the others attack relentlessly, Jiang Liu's eyes brightened as he realized that within the 20 seconds of the Hand of Healing, they managed to reduce about 10% of the Health Bar on the Drought Demon's head.

No fear in anything, but the fear of all attacks being ineffective. As long as there was even a slight effect, that was good.

After all, combat was just about grinding down the opponent's health.

Anyone who has played online games knows that when fighting a BOSS, it's all about a long-term struggle to whittle down the health. As long as one can breach the defense and deal damage to the BOSS, then as long as one's stamina can keep up, draining the BOSS's health is just a matter of time.

"Wukong, let your master help you!"

Jiang Liu, who had initially thought Sun Wukong and the others incapable of harming the Drought Demon, saw that they were able to exert some influence. He refreshed Sun Wukong with the Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra and Strengthening Body-Protection Spell, and then pulled up his own marketplace, searching for the item he intended to buy.

The Sun God Water was also a series of potions.

Sun God Water (Consumable): Upon use, it bestows the might of the utmost rigidity and Supreme Yang, dealing double damage to targets with a Dark Attribute, lasting for 300 seconds, priced at 100,000 taels.

Enhanced Solar Divine Water (Consumable): Upon use, it bestows the might of the utmost rigidity and Supreme Yang, dealing double damage to targets with a Dark Attribute, lasting for 1200 seconds, priced at 250,000 taels.

Super Solar Divine Water (Consumable Item): After use, one can obtain the empowered strength of utmost rigidity and supreme yang, dealing double damage to targets with dark attributes, lasting 3000 seconds, priced at 500,000 taels.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Liu thought that the usual Solar Divine Water's duration of 300 seconds was a bit short, while the price of the Super Solar Divine Water was too high.

Jiang Liu directly purchased the Enhanced Solar Divine Water.

After the purchase, Jiang Liu took out a large bottle of golden potion from his bag space and threw it to Sun Wukong.

"Master? What is this?"

Catching the Solar Divine Water that Jiang Liu tossed over, Sun Wukong looked at Jiang Liu with an inquiring gaze.

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

"Drink it!" Jiang Liu said to Sun Wukong.

The Drought Demon, though as fierce as fire, is after all a legendary Zombie King, also belonging to existences with a dark attribute.

In Jiang Liu's view, using the Solar Divine Water should naturally be doubly effective against it.

"Okay!" Trusting Jiang Liu completely, Sun Wukong nodded his head and in his Law of Heaven and Earth form, immediately tossed the large bottle of Enhanced Solar Divine Water into his mouth.

Instantly, Sun Wukong felt a force of utmost rigidity and supreme yang filling his entire body.

Without any further words, Sun Wukong's Ruyi Golden Cudgel continued to smash down, one blow after another.

Although the speed at which the Drought Demon's health bar on its head was decreasing was very slow, as far as Jiang Liu was concerned, as long as the Drought Demon's health bar kept dropping, that was enough.

"Unsealing Charm, 600,000 taels, Solar Divine Water, 250,000 taels, to slay this Drought Demon, I've spent 850,000 taels! I must kill it; otherwise, it's a total loss!" Jiang Liu muttered to himself internally.

Within the market, Guanyin's Jade Clean Bottle was only priced at 700,000 taels, and the Banishing Heaven Seal at 750,000 taels.

Of course, this also showed the mightiness of the Drought Demon from another aspect.

Similarly, deep inside, Jiang Liu looked forward even more to what good items would drop after slaying this Drought Demon.

…

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A hundred and eighty li away from Wowo Village, Sun Wukong and the others were battling the Drought Demon. The fearful battle naturally caused a great commotion, with the entire area of Wowo Village shaking as if an earthquake was occurring.

Liaokong was originally in the Local Deity Temple, privately pondering over the next steps.

Having obtained an Enlightenment Pill from Xuanzang, he should technically have completed his mission, but Liaokong remembered that his mission's target was the Healing Potion.

So, while the calamity was still underway and Xuanzang and his companions were yet to leave, he should continue to devise a plan to get his hands on the Healing Potion.

If he could also obtain the Healing Potion, then his mission for descending to the Mortal World would be more than just accomplished.

However, just as Liaokong was covertly contemplating how to scheme for the Healing Potion, suddenly, he felt the earth tremble as if an Earth Dragon was turning over.

At the same time, he could hear many exclamations from outside.

Liaokong quickly ran out from the Local Deity Temple and looked around.

Even from a hundred and eighty li away, Liaokong could clearly see the towering form of Sun Wukong, in his Law of Heaven and Earth form, and naturally, he saw the battle scene as well.

"Sun Wukong? Even the Law of Heaven and Earth divine skill has been revealed? Could it be..."

Seeing Sun Wukong's form, Liaokong's mind stirred, and his face immediately showed a change of color.

At this time, if Xuanzang and his group were making a move, even forcing out Sun Wukong's Law of Heaven and Earth, what kind of opponent could it be? Liaokong could naturally guess that they must have encountered the Drought Demon.

"This is bad. The power of the Drought Demon is comparable to the Three-World Buddha; how could the Scripture Seeking travelers withstand it? No, I must quickly notify my master, Medicine Buddha, to decide!'

Realizing that Sun Wukong and the others were fighting the Drought Demon, Liaokong became anxious and thought to turn around to inform his master, the Medicine Buddha, and have him notify the Tathagata, which would certainly be a great contribution.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, suddenly, a thought struck Liaokong.

"Indeed, if I hurry to inform them now, it would be a great contribution!"

"But, if I go to Xuanzang and use this situation as a bargaining chip, perhaps I could make him hand over the Healing Potion?"

"In that case, not only would I receive credit for a great contribution, but I could also conveniently get the Healing Potion!"

"That would be killing two birds with one stone!"

With this thought, Liaokong felt that this matter was like a pie falling from the sky.

Without wasting words, he leaped up and flew in the direction of where Jiang Liu and the others were fighting.
