Chapter 1287: Chapter 1285: Jiang Liu Had Secretly Broken Through to Quasi-Saint?
Several Taiyi Realm demons have died by his hand, and even a few Great Luo Realm demons have met their end. With the Buddhist Light emanating from him, walking openly in the Demon Realm, it’s understandable that he’d eventually attract Quasi-Saint level demons, Jiang Liu thought.
Looking at the figure in front of him, Jiang Liu silently recited “character panel” in his heart, and immediately, a semi-transparent character panel appeared before him.
ID: Dream Demon (Blue).
Gender: ???
Profession: Demon.
Level: 91.
Equipment: …
Looking at the character panel before him, Jiang Liu’s mouth twitched slightly, feeling a bit odd.
Three question marks for gender, what kind of ghost is this?
Since acquiring the ability to examine others’ panels, the only entity he’s encountered with three question marks for gender was Guanyin Bodhisattva. What’s going on with this guy?
“Dream Demon? A level 91 Quasi-Saint? I never expected to find such a Quasi-Saint level strong figure in the Demon Realm, never saw him before!” Facing the character panel with a level 91 blue quality, Jiang Liu realized the Dream Demon’s strength was indeed formidable.
But, level 91 with blue quality? This made Jiang Liu’s mouth curl into a smile.
This kind of being just entering the Quasi-Saint level is truly prey for me, right?
High value Experience Points and monetary rewards, plus the chance to drop Divine Level quality equipment, right?
This level 91 entity is basically delivering enormous Experience Points right to me, isn’t it?
He originally intended to casually fish for some big and small fry, collecting some Experience Points along the way, but unexpectedly, he reeled in a big one!
“Who could it be, brazenly entering the Demon Realm? Turns out it’s the Sandalwood Merit Buddha! What business do you have in my Demon Realm, Sandalwood Merit Buddha? Can I perhaps assist you?”
Regardless of what thoughts Jiang Liu had after seeing the Dream Demon, the Dream Demon clearly recognized Jiang Liu. Standing before Jiang Liu scrutinizingly, he spoke.
“Don’t act like we’re close; judging by your appearance, you seem like a worthy opponent. Why don’t we have a duel?” Listening to Dream Demon’s words, it seemed there was a way to resolve this without fighting, just through conversation? Jiang Liu was clearly not interested, waved his hand, and actively issued the challenge.
“Merit Buddha, let’s skip the duel and focus on why you’re here…” Despite Jiang Liu’s words, Dream Demon showed no intent to fight.
Besides, Jiang Liu possessed Quasi-Saint level combat strength. As the person of destiny at the Immeasurable Kalpa Center, even Dream Demon dared not engage him in battle.
Should a real fight break out, even under the guise of a duel, if something unexpected were to happen during the battle, he might unwittingly fall to the opponent’s hand.
Thus, Dream Demon was reluctant to battle Jiang Liu and quickly inquired about Jiang Liu’s purpose in the Demon Realm.
If he could be of assistance, he’d genuinely volunteer to help Jiang Liu complete his affairs and quickly depart from the Demon Realm.
“No, no, let’s discuss matters after we duel; I haven’t fought much with the strong figures of the Demon Realm, my hands are itching…” Seeing Dream Demon’s increasing reluctance to fight, Jiang Liu was all the more eager.
Not long ago, he had slain Empress, who was only a level 91 white quality Quasi-Saint, gaining over 4 billion Experience Points.
If he could defeat this level 91 blue quality Dream Demon now, the Experience Points would surely be even greater, right?
Moreover, defeating Empress turned up the Overlord Contract ring and Sage Costume; Dream Demon might offer even better drops, right?
With such a big fish appearing in front of him, would Jiang Liu let it go?
Due to the Karmic Curse, his level dropped by 1, so Jiang Liu was racking his brains for every single Experience Point!
“Sandalwood Merit Buddha, let’s just say I concede in the duel, priorities first. What do you want, Sandalwood Merit Buddha? If I can help, I won’t hesitate!” The more Jiang Liu wanted a duel, the more frightened Dream Demon became, even retreating a few steps while promptly conceding.
Facing the Destiny Center’s Sandalwood Merit Buddha, facing the Quasi-Saint strength of Merit Buddha, Dream Demon thought that conceding was not shameful.
“Why is this guy so timid?” Hearing Dream Demon’s words, Jiang Liu secretly grumbled in his heart.
Then, not wanting to say more, he raised the Witch-Slaying Sword in his hand and swung it towards Dream Demon, saying, “Enough talk, settle this with a duel first!”
As his voice fell, Jiang Liu swung the Witch-Slaying Sword directly at Dream Demon, commencing the attack, leaving Dream Demon with no chance to refuse!
A sword swept across the dream demon’s body, and Jiang Liu frowned slightly.
It seemed like the Witch-Slaying Sword in his hand had cut through the entire dream demon, but in reality, it completely missed. Looking at the health bar above the dream demon’s head, there was no change at all, obviously indicating that the sword had not had any effect.
This feeling was very similar to when he was at the Eastern Temple, fighting that Corpse Tiger Beast.
“Back then, that Corpse Tiger Beast was a kind of spiritual phantom, making the Witch-Slaying Sword difficult to use. This dream demon must be a similar existence, right?” Noticing the dream demon’s identity, and looking at its body, indeed like a shadow without substance, Jiang Liu murmured quietly to himself.
“Sandalwood Merit Buddha, there’s really no need…” Although Jiang Liu slashed the dream demon with a sword, nothing happened, yet the dream demon kept retreating, calling out in fright.
The dream demon flew back, apparently not wanting to engage with Jiang Liu.
But Jiang Liu did not pay attention to the dream demon’s cries, instead he put away the Witch-Slaying Sword and took out the Thunder Halberd.
From the perspective of a game, the Witch-Slaying Sword is indeed powerful but only has terrifying restraint effects on physical defense types of existences. So against opponents like the dream demon, Jiang Liu thought using the Thunder Halberd might be handier.
Flying back quickly, the dream demon completely showed no intention of fighting Jiang Liu.
However, seeing Jiang Liu’s relentlessness, the dream demon sighed inwardly, feeling it must fight after all.
Then the dream demon shouted “offense” and also took out a long whip, striking towards Jiang Liu.
With the Green Lotus Treasured Flag on him, the 1 billion Defense Value is not something the dream demon can break, so Jiang Liu seemed invincible in the fight against the dream demon.
Although both attacks were spiritual types, the dream demon’s attack was different from the Corpse Tiger Beast, as its attacks could be blocked by the Green Lotus Treasured Flag.
Back and forth, they fought for about the time one drinks a cup of tea, and Jiang Liu was unharmed.
But likewise, the dream demon also appeared unaffected, and both sides were evenly matched, unable to do anything to each other.
“Sandalwood Merit Buddha, we’ve been sparring for so long, and neither can defeat the other, why not call it quits?” After a cup of tea’s time fighting, seeing Jiang Liu’s Attack Power wasn’t strong, the dream demon slightly breathed a sigh of relief and suggested to Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu swung the Thunder Halberd a few times, all blocked by the dream demon, and sighed inwardly, understanding the situation.
Though the dream demon is at the Quasi-Saint Level, the Witch-Slaying Sword’s 300 million Attack Power increase cannot be utilized, whereas the Thunder Halberd adds only over 28 million Attack Power, even less than the boost from the Overlord Contract’s ring.
His defense was enough to withstand the dream demon’s attack, but his Attack Power was still lacking, so defeating the dream demon appeared rather impossible.
“Could it be necessary to use the Immortal-Slaying Sword or the Tai Chi Diagram?” Jiang Liu pondered, lamenting about the insufficient Attack Power from the Thunder Halberd.
Yet using the Immortal-Slaying Sword or Tai Chi Diagram would expose his identity as the Silver Robed Person and the Mysterious Black-Clothed Figure?
“Oh really? Do you think I truly can’t defeat you? Well, the warm-up is over, time to get serious!”
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Liu’s thoughts shifted slightly and he had an idea, speaking to the dream demon.
“Sandalwood Merit Buddha, we’re only sparring, isn’t it enough for now? No need to determine an absolute victor, right?” Hearing Jiang Liu’s words, the dream demon’s heart skipped a beat and forced a smile, speaking to Jiang Liu.
But Jiang Liu didn’t respond to the dream demon, instead taking a deep breath as the Overlord Contract’s ring special effect activated directly.
As the special effect activated, Jiang Liu felt an immensely powerful force suddenly spread throughout his entire body.
Powerful Cultivation Level erupted from Jiang Liu, even stirring up a formidable storm.
The sudden surge of force made Jiang Liu feel as if he could easily pierce the heavens.
Hint: Your level has increased by 5, currently level 92, duration 3600 seconds!
Simultaneously, the system’s prompt sounded in Jiang Liu’s mind.
“Level 92 now? Is this the Quasi-Saint Level Cultivation Level? Though it can’t compare to the previous Max Level Experience Scroll, it’s still extremely formidable!”
Receiving the system prompt, Jiang Liu sensed his Cultivation Level properly, murmuring quietly to himself.
If Attack Power isn’t enough, then simply increase the Attack Power. If equipment can’t boost it, leveling up does the job too!
“Such strong aura, such terrifying aura! Is this the aura of the Quasi-Saint Level? Sandalwood Merit Buddha has secretly broken through to the Quasi-Saint Cultivation Level already?”
The dream demon widened its eyes, sensing the aura Jiang Liu exuded even surpassed its own by a significant margin, exclaiming in disbelief.
