Chapter 1289: Chapter 1287: Suicide? Watch My Soul-Returning Spell!
No wonder Jiang Liu’s face turned dark. Originally, after defeating the Dream Demon, he could gain over 2 billion Experience Points.
But now, after the second run, the Experience Points have dropped to just over 1 billion, almost halved!
Although Jiang Liu also knew that during the second run, the Dream Demon’s Health Bar wasn’t fully restored, only about 90% of its Health Point, which would affect the Experience Points somewhat.
But still, it shouldn’t affect it this much, right?
“Could it be? After the second run, the Experience Points will drastically decrease? Only the first clear gives the most Experience Points!?” Looking at the system awarding only 1.2 billion Experience Points, Jiang Liu murmured to himself.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Liu saw that the skills’ Cooldown Time was over, then used the Healing Holy Hand and the Guanyin Mantra skills to raise the Dream Demon’s Health Point to more than half.
Naturally, the Dream Demon woke up again from its unconscious state.
“Merit Buddha, I, I completely give up. You, you don’t need to spar anymore. I’m not your match…” The Dream Demon, upon waking, said to Jiang Liu with a look of fear.
“Amitabha, there’s no need to be afraid. I mentioned that I wouldn’t harm your life, and I keep my word!” Jiang Liu said to the Dream Demon with his palms together.
However, hearing Jiang Liu’s assurance, the Dream Demon didn’t feel relieved; instead, its face turned even darker.
What the hell? He assures not to harm his life at this moment? Doesn’t this mean he will definitely continue sparring with him?
“Merit Buddha, why are you doing this? I’ve already conceded…” The Dream Demon’s face was really unpleasant, almost on the verge of tears.
Yes, I’ve already conceded, and yet he won’t take my life, so he must drag me into sparring. What’s going on?
Completely baffled!
“I just want to learn more about your Demon Clan’s power, nothing else!” Staring at the Cooldown Time for Healing Holy Hand and Guanyin Mantra, Jiang Liu continued to comfort with his words.
“No, no, I, I have things to attend to. I won’t accompany you here, I’m leaving first…”
If I can’t provoke him, can’t I at least avoid him? The Dream Demon’s face became very unpleasant, saying goodbye while trying to flee.
However, at this moment, the Eighteenth Grade Lotus shone, a beam of yellowish light appeared, shining on the Dream Demon, making it completely unable to leave.
The Ninth Grade Lotus is already of Divine Level Quality, and naturally, the effect of the merged Eighteenth Grade Lotus is even stronger.
As Jiang Liu’s Cultivation Level reached level 92, the power of this Eighteenth Grade Lotus is undoubtedly very strong.
Shone upon by the yellowish light from the Lotus, the restraining power immediately thwarted the Dream Demon’s thought of escaping.
“Merit Buddha, spare me…” Unable to move due to the restraint of the Eighteenth Grade Lotus, the Dream Demon decisively pleaded for mercy.
“I said it long ago, I wouldn’t harm your life. Why the plea for mercy…?” Hearing the Dream Demon’s plea, Jiang Liu shook his head and said.
As he spoke, he watched as the skills’ Cooldown Time was over.
Jiang Liu then once again used Healing Holy Hand and Guanyin Mantra skills on the Dream Demon, raising its Health Point directly to 100%.
“Alright, this time there’s no damage to Health Point, let’s see how much Experience Points are after the third run!” After completely restoring the Dream Demon’s Health Point, Jiang Liu murmured to himself.
Then, the Thunder Halberd in his hand was raised once more.
“No, please! Holy Monk, I beg for mercy, no!” Watching as Jiang Liu’s Thunder Halberd rose again, the Dream Demon pleaded in terror.
However, Jiang Liu had no intention of stopping. The Thunder Halberd in his hand struck again.
After a bout of crushing battle, the Health Bar above the Dream Demon’s head was once again emptied.
At the same time, the system prompt Jiang Liu was waiting for chimed in.
Prompt: Gained 800 million Experience Points, earned 50,000 in money!
“This, it’s still been severely diminished!” Hearing the system’s prompt, Jiang Liu’s face turned very unpleasant.
Indeed, is it true that after running a wave each time, the Experience Points sharply decrease?
800 million Experience Points? It seems like a lot, but this Dream Demon has a Quasi-Saint Level of Cultivation! How can such little Experience Points do justice to his Quasi-Saint prowess?
Alright, no matter how Jiang Liu complained in his heart, this pattern of sharp Experience Points reduction after each wave can be basically confirmed.
Jiang Liu sighed inwardly, and lifted his hand to cast Healing Holy Hand and Guanyin Mantra on the Dream Demon, raising its Health Point.
No matter what, if Experience Points sharply decrease, they decrease. Earning several hundred million Experience Points from a battle is still not bad.
Taking advantage of the fact that he is still at level 92, Jiang Liu seized the last opportunity, planning to run a few more waves.
“Merit Buddha, spare me! I really don’t want to spar anymore! I’ll not fight back! This sparring makes no sense! Even if I die, I won’t fight back!”
“Prompt: Gained 500 million Experience Points, earned 37,000 in money!”
…
“Merit Buddha, I’m not even fighting back, what’s the point of this sparring? We have no grievances, why are you torturing me like this?”
“Prompt: Gained 340 million Experience Points, earned 28,000 in money!”
…
“Merit Buddha, just kill me if you want! Go ahead and kill me! I don’t want to live anymore!”
“Hint: Gained 200 million Experience Points, and acquired 18,000 taels!”
…
“Ahhh, you lunatic, I curse you to die a horrible death! You’re not going to kill me, right? Fine, I’ll just kill myself!”
“Soul-Returning Spell!”
“Silencing Zen!”
“Palm Thunder!”
“Hint: Gained 140 million Experience Points, and acquired 11,000 taels!”
…
“Hint: The effect has expired, level dropped by 5, current level is 87!”
Finally, after Jiang Liu farmed the Dream Demon seven or eight times, the level 92 effect finally expired.
The aura around Jiang Liu sank rapidly like a deflated balloon, with the level dropping to 87!
Although he farmed seven or eight times, the Experience Points gained decreased each time, hardly doing justice to his Quasi-Saint cultivation level. However, in over an hour, he managed to gain over five billion Experience Points.
Jiang Liu was quite satisfied with this result.
With these over five billion Experience Points, his XP bar to level up to 88 already made good progress.
“Indeed, farming monsters is the best way to level up! If I could get a few more Quasi-Saint level powerhouses, each letting me farm them ten or eight times, maybe I could quickly reach level 90?”
Seeing that a single Dream Demon brought him over five billion Experience Points, albeit decreasing sharply after repeated farming, Jiang Liu still felt as if a door to a new world had opened.
Thinking about it like this, it really seems possible?
Consider those slightly lower-level Quasi-Saints, who are they?
Catch a few opponents he can defeat, and then farm them seven or eight times each. This strategy seems really feasible, doesn’t it?
Okay, this method seems feasible, but the Quasi-Saint level big shots aren’t easy to handle, so this needs a long-term plan.
After shelving these thoughts temporarily, Jiang Liu looked again at the Dream Demon lying on the ground. Even though it was already unconscious, it still displayed an expression of complete despair…
Smiling slightly, he immediately raised his hand and cast another Guanyin Mantra on the Dream Demon.
With the Guanyin Mantra, the Dream Demon’s health recovered to about 30%.
However, despite the health recovery, the Dream Demon remained lying still, seemingly not yet awakened.
“Huh? What’s going on? The health has dropped to such a level, why isn’t it moving?” Seeing the Dream Demon completely unresponsive, Jiang Liu was momentarily stunned, then approached it and shouted.
“Merit Buddha…”
Hearing Jiang Liu call several times, finally, the Dream Demon opened its eyes, calmly looking at Jiang Liu, and said: “Just do it if you want to, I understand now, falling into your hands leaves me unable to live or die!”
“Has it given up?” Seeing the Dream Demon’s demeanor, Jiang Liu was slightly taken aback and then thought to himself with a wry smile.
“Well, this is where we’ll stop; it’s done now. I won’t spar with you any further!” Watching the Dream Demon with a wry smile, Jiang Liu said.
With a gulp!
Upon hearing Jiang Liu’s words, the Dream Demon lying on the ground suddenly shot up, seriously staring at Jiang Liu, “Merit Buddha, are you serious? You’re really not going to fight anymore?”
“Of course, when have I ever gone back on my word? Or do you want to continue?” Jiang Liu retorted upon hearing the Dream Demon’s words.
“No, no, I’ll go now, I’ll go now, Merit Buddha, goodbye—no, wait, I mean I hope I never see you again, farewell forever…”
Upon hearing Jiang Liu’s words, the Dream Demon nearly jumped in fright, stammering, and while speaking hurriedly turned to leave.
Crying, the Dream Demon nearly wanted to weep at this moment, filled with deep regret and wishing it could slap itself!
What nonsense was this? With a Buddhist Sect person showing up in the Demon Realm, why did none of the Quasi-Saint level big shots intervene, and why did I stubbornly choose to seek trouble myself?
Although under Jiang Liu’s hand, the Dream Demon was only tormented for about an hour, the experience of being revived and beaten back to death over and over was utterly a nightmare for it!
Furthermore, the Dream Demon resolved that if it sees the Merit Buddha again, it must avoid him at all costs and never meet him again in this life.
“Hey, wait…” However, just as the Dream Demon was leaving, Jiang Liu suddenly called out.
With Jiang Liu’s call, the Dream Demon’s body slightly shivered; it turned its head back, looking as though it was about to cry: “Merit Buddha, you’re not going to regret this, are you?”
“No, I just have something to ask: Are there any other Quasi-Saints in the Demon Realm whose cultivation level is similar to yours?” Shaking his head slightly, Jiang Liu then asked.
