Chapter 94 Exteriorization of the Body
"Master, you and this Blood Tiger King were old acquaintances..." Sun Wukong said, heart filled with immense disappointment upon hearing Blood Tiger King's words.
After holding back for so long, and finally waiting for this so-called Blood Tiger King to appear, he thought he would have a good fight. But seeing how happily Blood Tiger King greeted Jiang Liu, were they really old acquaintances?
"Wukong, do you think he and I are friends?" Jiang Liu turned his head to look at him and asked.
"Isn't he?" Sun Wukong, looking up at Jiang Liu, felt surprised.
If they were not friends, why would the Blood Tiger King recognize him at a glance? And why did he greet him so happily?
"Monkey, a brain is a good thing, I wish you had one," Jiang Liu muttered under his breath, a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.
From Sun Wukong's perspective, his considerations seemed flawless, but from Jiang Liu's perspective, having long heard of the Blood Tiger King's reputation, yet still coming to Returning Wind Mountain to Subdue Demons and Eliminate Evil, and even killing hundreds of demon creatures.
Would he do this if they were truly friends?
Perhaps Sun Wukong was not dumb, but he tended to be too straightforward and not meticulous enough when thinking through problems.
"Holy Monk, I did not expect you to actually bring a pet with you when you go out, quite the mood..." Blood Tiger King, hearing Sun Wukong talk, was surprised that he was also a demon but not transforming into human form, didn't take it seriously instead joked.
"Pet!?" Although thinking of Blood Tiger King as Jiang Liu's friend, Sun Wukong had not reacted, but hearing himself being described as a pet, he could imagine how unpleasant he felt.
"Master, this guy is really annoying, can I kill him?" Sun Wukong, his eyes burning with anger, turned his head to look at Jiang Liu and asked.
"You can."
"Really!?" Sun Wukong was momentarily stunned by Jiang Liu's decisive answer.
"It's true!" Jiang Liu nodded affirmatively, raising his hand and launching a Swift Fire Bead that hurtled directly towards Blood Tiger King.
At the same time, Demon-Subduing Buff was cast on Sun Wukong.
Although Sun Wukong's level was too high for a team effect, if they really killed Blood Tiger King, Experience Points would still be allocated based on Contribution Points, and good items might drop, Jiang Liu naturally wanted to maximize his contribution.
Facing the incoming fireball, Blood Tiger King casually swatted it away, then in a leap came before Jiang Liu, reaching out his hand to grab him.
This was truly a fortuitous circumstance served on a platter; just eating a little bit of his flesh had extended his life by five hundred years, what if he could eat him completely...
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..." However, seeing Jiang Liu retaliate, and Tiger King counterattacking, Sun Wukong on the side was actually delightfully squeaking.
He finally understood that although his master recognized this Tiger Demon, it seemed they were actually enemies, which was truly great.
Blood Tiger King's palm inevitably targeted Jiang Liu, but just as it was about to land on Jiang Liu, suddenly an iron rod blocked Blood Tiger King's way.
The hand fell on the iron rod and did not affect it in the least.
"What? This monkey doesn't look remarkable, but what great strength!" Blood Tiger King, unable to budge the iron rod, looked down at the short and thin monkey, disbelieving.
Size-wise, Sun Wukong only reached up to his waist.
"Hehehe, come practice with I, Old Sun," Sun Wukong effortlessly blocked Blood Tiger King's attack, applied a slight force on his Jingu Bang, and flung it.
An indescribable strength surged, and Blood Tiger King felt the world spinning around him. By the time he regained his senses, he had been thrown dozens of meters away by Jingu Bang, landing heavily on the ground.
Having waited so long to find a target, Sun Wukong had been holding back, and now he finally had the chance to make use of his strength, picking up Jingu Bang without rushing to finish the fight, swinging left and right, handling Blood Tiger King like a bouncing ball.
"Little ones, capture Xuanzang!" After three moves and two styles, the Blood Tiger King realized that this unimpressive monkey was much stronger than himself. Lacking the courage for another battle, he shouted loudly, wanting to capture Jiang Liu and escape first.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Upon the Blood Tiger King's command, demon creatures by his side made their move, reaching out to grab Jiang Liu.
Below the Demon King, there indeed existed many Demon Generals and even some at the Demon Marshal level.
"Humph, think you can outnumber me?" However, watching several Demon Generals rushing towards Jiang Liu, Sun Wukong let out a cold laugh and then plucked a strand of his hair from the back of his head and gently blew on it.
The strand of hair, as he blew it out, swiftly transformed into Sun Wukong's appearance in mid-air. A dozen avatars protected Jiang Liu, swinging their iron rods, and no demon creature could get close to Jiang Liu.
"Impressive!" This was Sun Wukong's first battle since he left the Five Elements Mountain. Although it was already clear that Sun Wukong's power was terrifying, seeing with his own eyes that a mighty Demon King was merely a plaything in his hands, along with this strand of hair that could transform into avatars, Jiang Liu inwardly praised.
The Demon Marshals were already capable of taking on human forms, with beastly heads and human bodies.
Yet, Jiang Liu could see with his own eyes that even Demon Marshal-level demon creatures charging at them were swept away by Sun Wukong's avatars with a single strike.
Clearly, even though they were just avatars, they had the power to completely crush the Demon Marshals.
It was a complete thrashing. After Sun Wukong made his move, the situation became a one-sided beatdown, with no surprises. A dozen avatars protected Jiang Liu, with no demon able to approach.
In Jiang Liu's eyes, Sun Wukong's true body treated the Tiger King as a mere toy, clearly seeing his health bar continuously dropping.
Above the level of Demon Generals, he was no match, but those little demons were all his experience points, right? Jiang Liu raised his Demon-Subduing Staff and prepared to rush over, as he was just one creature short of completing his class change mission.
However, Sun Wukong's avatars tightly followed by Jiang Liu's side, not allowing a single demon creature within his vicinity, making it impossible for him to fight.
"Hehehe, master, there are too many demons here. You just stay put, old man, leave them all to I, Old Sun," said the avatar beside him with a chuckle to Jiang Liu.
"Are you sure this isn't some kind of revenge?" Sun Wukong's words caused Jiang Liu's lips to twitch slightly.
He had been repressing him, not allowing him to act all the way, and it must have been unbearable, so now that he got the chance, he wouldn't let him act either?
This monkey's mind was indeed smaller than he had thought.
Guanyin Mantra, Swift Fire Bead, Vajra Mantra...
Since he couldn't strike at these little demons, his thoughts temporarily shifted towards the Blood Tiger King.
Regardless of the efficacy of his skills, in an effort to increase his contribution points, Jiang Liu really went all out. He threw every usable skill and buff onto Sun Wukong, while the Swift Fire Bead, an offensive ranged weapon, kept smashing towards the Blood Tiger King.
It was supposed to be an easy kill, but Sun Wukong played with the tiger like a ball for half an hour before finally killing the Blood Tiger King.
As it died, the body of the Blood Tiger King also reverted back to its original form: a giant tiger with blood-red, mottled fur.
Notification: Gained 4200 Experience Points, Obtained 5 taels of money.
Jiang Liu's eyes brightened as he looked at the corpse of the Blood Tiger King and walked straight over.
Although he wasn't in a team, he still had contribution points, thus he also gained experience points, and there might also be good items dropped; it's just that the dropped items wouldn't be automatically picked up and were under the body.
What good items could a Demon King-level monster drop?
(PS: Thanks to the book friend "Zhang Zhang Zhang Guifeng" for the generous reward of 100000 starting coins, becoming the first chief of this book. As for additional chapters? If it is the day of going on shelves, I will explode a bit, so now I need to save drafts in preparation for going on shelves. As for the chief's additional chapters?
After the explosion on the shelves is over, I can take the time to save drafts, perhaps explode with ten or eight chapters as a return, so for now, the additional chapters from the chief are owed...)
