Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 607: Xuanzang Conferred a Title, Medicine Buddha?

Bang, bang, bang!

The Weakness Talisman weakened the Drought Demon's attributes overall, and the reinforced Jingu Bang wielded immense force.

Additionally, the Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra, the Strengthening Body-Protection Spell, and the Vajra Mantra were used interchangeably, augmented by the Guanyin Mantra and the healing effects of the Hand of Healing.

Occasionally, there was the Sheep Transformation Technique for control, giving Sun Wukong and his team a chance to adjust their tactics.

When the battle commenced, it was entirely a scenario of blood-grinding endurance.

The attacks on the Drought Demon yielded minimal effects, especially the attacks from Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, which seemed nearly ineffective, as if they barely reduced any of the health points at all.

Such a battle was truly disheartening.

At this time, the focus of the attacks was solely on Sun Wukong.

After all, his strength was the greatest, the Jingu Bang's added attack power was the highest, and there was the doubled damage effect of the Sun God Water on the Drought Demon.

After a long fight, finally, Jiang Liu saw that the Drought Demon's health had dropped to just below half.

This seemed to give Jiang Liu some hope of victory.

"Lucky I chose a support profession back then, otherwise, if I had chosen an attack profession as well, winning now would be even more impossible!" At this moment, Jiang Liu felt somewhat relieved in his heart.

If it weren't for his own enhancements, it would have been nearly impossible for Sun Wukong to inflict damage on the Drought Demon.

And if he had been an attack profession himself, it would have been even more impossible for his Level 69 self to inflict damage on the Drought Demon.

Feeling relieved, Jiang Liu silently nodded to himself, feeling foresighted in his initial career choice.

Watching as the battle had tended toward a relatively stable situation, the health values of Sun Wukong and his team had dropped again, and Jiang Liu's Skill Badge flashed.

Within it, a Hand of Healing spell was stored and promptly released, pressing down fiercely onto the Drought Demon.

"Xiaobai, wait a moment. Have you reached the Wuzhuang Temple yet?" After controlling the Drought Demon for 20 seconds, Jiang Liu found a moment to pull up his friends list, sending a message to the White Dragon Horse.

"Master, I don't know..."

However, after Jiang Liu sent the message, Xiaobai quickly replied.

"Don't know? What do you mean?" Jiang Liu was slightly startled by Xiaobai's message—didn't he know how to get to the Wuzhuang Temple?

"No, Master, I felt like I just reached above the Wuzhuang Temple, but the feel of the temple was completely different, filled with tables of people playing Mahjong, and the name of the temple has also changed to Wuzhuang Mahjong Monastery!"

Soon, Xiaobai sent another message, between the lines, one could sense the baffled expression on White Dragon Horse's face at that moment.

Seeing this message, Jiang Liu's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.

Back when he arrived at the Wuzhuang Temple, he was also baffled; now it was Xiaobai's turn.

"Yes, that is the Wuzhuang Temple, that's great, you haven't seen Master Zhenyuan yet, right? Wait, don't rush in. Perhaps as your master, I can handle the Drought Demon by myself!"

Feeling a bit fortunate in his heart, lucky that the changes in the Wuzhuang Temple made Xiaobai hesitant to enter.

Otherwise, if Master Zhenyuan really came over, wouldn't the Drought Demon end up being snatched by him?

"Alright, Master, I understand; then I'll just wait above the Wuzhuang Temple!" Having received the message from Jiang Liu, Xiaobai naturally complied completely.

"Phew, that was close…" After instructing Xiaobai, a sigh of relief escaped Jiang Liu's heart.

By then, the controlling effect of the Hand of Healing had passed, but undeniably, taking advantage of those 20 seconds, Sun Wukong and his team unleashed various attacks, again reducing the health bar of the Drought Demon by a small fraction.

From the looks of it, the Drought Demon's health bar was only about 30% remaining at this moment.

"After fighting for so long, to finally grind its health down this low, it hasn't been easy!" At this moment, Jiang Liu also felt utterly exhausted, this battle having been incredibly draining on him especially.

Particularly himself.

The Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra and the Strengthening Body-Protection Spell had to be continually supplied without interruption.

He had to keep the Vajra Mantra ready at hand, in case someone encountered a dire situation, and immediately throw it out.

Sun Wukong was still okay, with his high level and the Vajra Indestructible Body, he could hold on.

If it were Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, if they were hit head-on and didn't have the Vajra Mantra to block, they could very well be instantly killed.

The Guanyin Mantra also had to be timed perfectly to release.

At truly critical moments, he even had to cast a Sheep Transformation Technique their way, to give them a moment to breathe.

In this battle, while Sun Wukong and his team had expended a lot of effort, the one who had been most mentally taxed had still been Jiang Liu.

As a support character, Jiang Liu was instead controlling the entire situation, calculating all the opportunities to release his skills.

Shoo!

But just as Jiang Liu was fully concentrated on the Drought Demon, watching its health bar slowly dwindling bit by bit, suddenly, a Buddhist Light flashed, following quickly, a figure rapidly flew towards them.

"Amitabha, Xuanzang my brother, is this, could this perhaps be the legendary Drought Demon!?" Liaokong flew over, feigning an extremely shocked demeanor, staring at the Drought Demon in horror.

Liaokong's expression was a mix of shock, partly genuine and partly feigned.

The feigned part was because he had known about the Drought Demon long before, yet pretended not to know.

The genuine part was because, at this moment, the Drought Demon seemed to be severely injured!

"How is this possible!?" Seeing the Drought Demon in such a grievous state, Liaokong was greatly shocked and found it unbelievable.

He knew how formidable the Drought Demon was, understanding that only an existence like the Three-World Buddha could subdue it.

At Spirit Mountain in Western Heaven, even including his own master, the Buddha, there were few who could inflict such damage on the Drought Demon.

But what was he seeing now? The Drought Demon was already severely wounded?

Was this really something the team on the Journey to the West for Scriptures could have done?

"Right, Brother Liaokong, are you here to help!?" Seeing Liaokong's shocked expression, Jiang Liu nodded and responded.

"Master, I can't hold on any longer!"

With a thud, due to Liaokong's arrival, Jiang Liu diverted some of his focus, and the Vajra Mantra missed its mark by a hair's breadth. Zhu Bajie screamed as he was flung away by a punch from the Drought Demon, spitting blood toward the sky.

In Jiang Liu's eyes, the health bar above Zhu Bajie's head instantly dropped to about one third, looking incredibly dangerous.

Guanyin Mantra!

Seeing this, Jiang Liu's heart tightened, and he swiftly applied the Guanyin Mantra skill on Zhu Bajie.

At the same time, he flicked his hand, throwing a bright red bottle resembling blood.

Enhanced Healing Potion.

A regular Healing Potion restores 10% of Health Points, while an Enhanced Healing Potion restores 30%.

At this critical juncture, naturally, an Enhanced Healing Potion was needed to be effective.

Zhu Bajie caught the potion bottle and guzzled down the potion.

The healing effect of the Guanyin Mantra, combined with the effect of the Enhanced Healing Potion, instantly restored the health bar above Zhu Bajie's head to about 80-90% safety, which allowed Jiang Liu to heave a silent sigh of relief.

Dangerous, that scene just now was really too dangerous.

Jiang Liu internally sighed in relief, but Liaokong beside him was nearly dumbstruck.

He had long heard about Sun Wukong defeating Master Leizhen by doping, but that was just hearsay.

Now, he had finally seen it with his own eyes.

Struck by the Drought Demon, Zhu Bajie was severely injured and had almost lost all his combat ability, right?

But then? Xuanzang threw out a potion bottle, and it seemed he also utilized a healing divine spell, and in the blink of an eye, Zhu Bajie was as lively as a dragon or tiger, not appearing injured at all?

"So, really, if Xuanzang reaches Spirit Mountain in Western Heaven, what kind of Buddha should the Buddha crown him? Medicine King Buddha? Giving him my master's honorable title would be the most suitable, right?"

With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, a thought like this suddenly flashed through Liaokong's mind, and it seemed quite reasonable?

"Brother Liaokong? You've seen the critical situation here; please lend us your aid!" After stabilizing Zhu Bajie's condition, Jiang Liu then urged Liaokong.

"No, Brother Xuanzang, my cultivation level is also very limited; joining the fight won't change anything. I'll go to Western Spirit Mountain to seek help from the Tathagata Buddha for you," Liaokong shook his head and said in response to Jiang Liu's call for help.

"What? Go seek Tathagata Buddha!?" Hearing Liaokong's words, Jiang Liu's expression darkened.

After having spent 850,000 taels, if Tathagata Buddha were to be summoned now, wouldn't his 850,000 taels have been wasted?

"Right, if I go to the Great Thunder Monastery, with my status, I might not be able to meet the Buddha, and the Buddha might not believe me. Brother Xuanzang, you should give me something as proof, like maybe? Only you seem to have that potion in all six realms and three worlds," Liaokong naturally didn't know Jiang Liu's real thoughts as he continued to suggest.

The Drought Demon was so strong; although it was already injured, Xuanzang and his team still struggled against it.

If he went to seek help from Tathagata Buddha for them, they would surely be overjoyed, right?

At this moment, he had become their straw to clutch at.

So, making a request for a Healing Potion as a token of faith, they surely couldn't refuse.

Hearing Liaokong's words, Jiang Liu's eyes slightly narrowed.

So, he wanted to seek Tathagata Buddha now? To let his 850,000 taels go down the drain?

And moreover, he was threatening him? Demanding Jiang Liu pull out a Healing Potion for him?

Originally, he thought to first deal with the threat of the Drought Demon, then take care of Liaokong later. Since he was now effectively seeking his own demise and presenting himself on a platter, there was no need for Jiang Liu to be polite...

"Brother Liaokong, well said, I happen to have a few more potions here; I'll give you one!"

Jiang Liu held the Fire Tip Spear in one hand, and with the other hand, he flipped it open, a Healing Potion appearing in Jiang Liu's palm.
