Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 608: Sorry, I’m the Spy!
```
"Success!"
Upon hearing Jiang Liu's words, and the fact that he really took out the Healing Potion, Liaokong was secretly delighted, naturally moving forward with joy.
Seeing Jiang Liu handing over the Healing Potion, Liaokong naturally received it with both hands.
Taking the Healing Potion genuinely from Jiang Liu's hands, Liaokong's heart was secretly thrilled.
"Now is the time!"
Having handed the Healing Potion to Liaokong, and seeing his surprised and happy expression, Jiang Liu's gaze slightly hardened. While Liaokong was in his most relaxed and joyful state, Jiang Liu pointed his finger at Liaokong.
The Silencing Zen skill was directly cast onto Liaokong.
Following Jiang Liu's move, Liaokong instantly felt the power inside his body become stagnant and difficult to mobilize, like dead water.
Then, Jiang Liu's Fire Tip Spear stabbed out in an instant.
With a "puchi" sound, it pierced straight through Liaokong's heart.
In terms of level, Liaokong was a level 72 with a Blue UI, while Jiang Liu was level 69 with a Golden UI, and the overall strength difference between them was not huge.
In an unguarded moment, Jiang Liu's covert attack was successful.
The Fire Tip Spear pierced directly through Liaokong's chest and his heart, and Jiang Liu could see the Health Bar above Liaokong's head deflate like a punctured ball, rapidly decreasing.
"Xuanzang, you, why did you... why..."
Glancing down at his own chest, completely impaled by the Fire Tip Spear, Liaokong's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Jiang Liu, clearly not understanding why Jiang Liu would attack him.
"Sorry, I am the spy!"
Looking at Liaokong's astonished expression, Jiang Liu calmly said.
During the conversation, he pulled the Fire Tip Spear out.
Almost simultaneously, Jiang Liu's other hand pressed onto Liaokong's head, and violent lightning burst forth from the palm of his hand, sweeping across Liaokong's entire body in an instant.
The savage lightning ravaged Liaokong's already decreasing Health Points, causing them to plummet even faster.
"So, it turns out you are the spy, you... ah..." Amid screams, Liaokong shouted loudly, seeming to realize something was wrong with Jiang Liu's identity.
But by then, there was no one left to listen to his words. Under the violent lightning storm, Liaokong's Health Bar quickly emptied.
Following that, Jiang Liu raised his hand again and a burst of flames appeared on the Fire Tip Spear, sweeping downwards.
The skill Fiery Slash fell, instantly turning Liaokong's body to ash.
A wisp of lingering soul gently descended, heading for the Netherworld.
Jiang Liu had no intention to disperse the soul and lacked the means to do so.
However, there was no need to worry, for in a way, Ksitigarbha was on the same side as him.
Sure enough, Liaokong's soul ended up in the hands of Ksitigarbha after entering the Underworld.
"Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, please spare me. I have important information to tell the Buddha, Bodhisattva..." Liaokong's soul, in Ksitigarbha's hands, pleaded urgently.
However, Ksitigarbha paid no attention to his cries, directly grasping him and casting him into reincarnation.
"Wait, Bodhisattva! That Xuanzang is a spy. You are also from the Buddhist Sect, help me! If Xuanzang reaches the Western Spirit Mountain, the consequences..." As he saw Ksitigarbha's impartial demeanor, Liaokong shouted in a changed tone.
But Ksitigarbha still showed no hesitation, promptly throwing his soul into the cycle of reincarnation.
Moreover, it seemed that Ksitigarbha hastened his pace even more with Liaokong's loud shouting.
...
Jiang Liu couldn't see what was happening with Ksitigarbha, but he could guess.
On reflection, the feeling was quite good. After killing the Immortals and Buddhas, they would directly fall into Ksitigarbha's hands.
Then, with Ksitigarbha on the same side, all of them were sent one by one into the cycle of reincarnation, and no one could say anything about it.
The cooperation between the two was seamless.
Tip: Gained 660,000 Experience Points, 800 silver coins.
As Liaokong died by his hand, the system's prompt sounded. Both Experience Points and money were satisfactory. Jiang Liu inwardly nodded and then turned his attention away from there.
Regaining focus, he placed all his attention on the Drought Demon.
After all, the battlefield's situation required his full dedication as the Support, calculating and controlling everything. He couldn't afford to be distracted.
With the Guanyin Mantra and Hand of Healing for healing, and Healing Potions also in Sun Wukong and the others' possession, he could make use of them to ensure his endurance capability.
Although injuries were unavoidable during the fight, his Health Points were generally maintained at a very safe level.
As the seconds and minutes ticked by, the Drought Demon's Health Bar above its head grew lower and lower, finally dropping below 10%. Its injuries became increasingly severe, and it looked very pitiful.
However, as a zombie-like being, the Drought Demon knew neither fatigue nor pain.
Despite the severe injuries and the low Health Bar, it was still as lively as ever.
Hu!
```
During the battle, accidents were bound to happen, and once again, the Drought Demon seized an opening and threw a punch towards Sha Wujing.
"Damn it!" Watching this scene unfold, Jiang Liu's complexion drastically changed.
Sha Wujing's health bar was only around 60%, and at this moment, both his Vajra Mantra and Sheep Transformation Technique were still on cooldown, leaving him no time to help.
With a loud bang!
The Drought Demon's fist connected squarely with Sha Wujing's chest, causing it to cave in significantly instantly. Sha Wujing's complexion turned pale as he collapsed.
In Jiang Liu's eyes, Sha Wujing's health bar was instantly emptied.
"Junior Brother Sha!"
Seeing Sha Wujing being beaten to death by the Drought Demon's punch, both Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie's faces turned pale with shock.
"Damn creature, die!"
Sun Wukong, showing a fierce temperament, once again raised his Jingu Bang, which shone brilliantly, glowing bright red like fire, displaying the special effect of the Twin Essence Oil.
After fighting for so long, the special effect of the Twin Essence Oil on Sun Wukong's Jingu Bang had finally cooled down.
With a thunderous crashing sound, the staff smashed onto the Drought Demon's body.
A previous strike could cause the Drought Demon's health bar to drop by around 5%, but now, the effects of the Sun God Water were still active.
As Sun Wukong's staff came crashing down, it instantly emptied the very precarious health point of the Drought Demon.
Notification: Gained 1.2 million Experience Points, 1500 silver coins.
Following the death of the Drought Demon, the system's notification sounded at this moment.
A level 90 Golden BOSS yielded a mere 1.2 million Experience Points, far too little.
However, Jiang Liu also knew that Sun Wukong's level was too high, so he could only form a team with Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, and not with Sun Wukong.
And since the main force in the battle was on Sun Wukong, after this kill, the experience points and money he gained would be sparse, wouldn't they?
But compared to money and Experience Points, of course, the items dropped after killing the Drought Demon were the main focus.
Besides, he did not know if killing Liaokong in a sneak attack had dropped anything special.
Of course, now was not the time to check his inventory space. There lay Sha Wujing's lifeless body on the ground, already dead.
But to Jiang Liu, none of this mattered at all.
"Wukong, Bajie, step aside!" Seeing Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie both huddled around Sha Wujing's body, Jiang Liu asked them to move aside.
Then, he pointed his hand towards Sha Wujing and cast the Soul-Returning Spell.
A strange glow flashed by, and the indented chest of Sha Wujing quickly reverted to its normal state.
His eyelids trembled slightly, and he regained consciousness.
Soul-Returning Spell (Great Perfection): Can be used on a target that has been dead for no more than 3600 seconds, resurrecting the target with 40% of their maximum Life Value, with a cooldown time of 1800 seconds.
After coming back to life, the health bar above Sha Wujing's head was only at 40%, and his injuries were still serious, but he was no longer in danger of dying.
"Master, brothers, did I… did I not die?" Sha Wujing, looking bewildered as he opened his eyes, glanced at Jiang Liu and the others and asked curiously.
"Junior Brother Sha, indeed, you had died just now, but the master has brought you back to life!" Next to him, Zhu Bajie, astonished, glanced at Jiang Liu and then nodded to Sha Wujing.
"Master, thank you! To resurrect me, it must have taken a lot of effort, right?" Hearing that it was Jiang Liu who resurrected him, Sha Wujing hastily expressed his gratitude.
After all, last time when Little White Dragon was killed, it took a tremendous effort to resurrect him.
However, after offering his thanks, Sha Wujing looked around, feeling utterly perplexed.
What's going on? From the looks of the surroundings, it was not much different from where he had died.
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
Moreover, the Drought Demon's corpse was still nearby—so he hadn't been dead for long, had he?
"Well, Junior Brother Sha, I think you've misunderstood something. Resurrecting you was extremely simple for the master; it was just a flick of the finger..." At this moment, it was Sun Wukong who chimed in.
Although he already knew that Jiang Liu possessed the Soul-Returning Spell skill, to some extent, the Journey to the West team could also be considered among the ranks of Immortals and Buddhas, right?
Dead and then resurrected by a mere flick of the master's finger?
Even the Tathagata and the Great Jade Emperor couldn't do something like that, could they?
While they were already aware of Jiang Liu's possession of many incredible skills and peculiar artifacts, something like casually resurrecting a dead deity or Buddha with a simple gesture?
If such abilities were to spread, it would surely send shockwaves through all realms and causes, wouldn't it?
Jiang Liu did not respond to their astonishment.
After resurrecting Sha Wujing, Jiang Liu's thoughts were now focused on the contents of his inventory space.
Liaokong aside, what wonderful items might have dropped from the Drought Demon, a level 90 Golden BOSS?
Something to truly look forward to!
(PS: First, I wish everyone a Happy Lantern Festival. Secondly, everyone can check out the new book "The Brightest Star of the Heavens" which has already piled up a bit. Lastly, and most importantly, it seems I haven't had a burst release for quite a few days now? Maybe it's time to choose a day to have a small burst release?)
