Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 451: The Quasi-Saint to the Rescue

Jiang Liu's eyes widened as he stared incredulously at the character UI before him.

Level 100? What did this mean? Of course, Jiang Liu understood!

Between levels 91-100, one belonged to the range of Quasi-Saints, meaning that level 100 was at the peak of the Quasi-Saint Realm. Beyond that, lay the Sage Realm!

Jiang Liu remembered that even the Supreme Elder Lord was only at level 98 with a blue UI. Yet, this mysterious figure before him was level 100?

In other words, from the perspective of cultivation level, was this mysterious figure even more formidable than the Supreme Elder Lord?

Among all the famous figures in the Primordial era, Saints were few and far between, and even Quasi-Saints were not numerous.

To reach the peak of level 100 as a Quasi-Saint, and from the character UI, a member of the Demon Clan? After thinking it over, Jiang Liu could only count a few possibilities on his fingers.

Demon Emperor Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi were the two sovereigns of the Demon Clan during Ancient Times. During the great catastrophe between the Witches and Demons, the Demon Clan and Witch Clan suppressed the myriad races of the Primordial World. Even those who became Saints did not dare to confront the edge of the Demon Clan before they attained saintliness.

So, it was only natural in Jiang Liu's mind that these two sovereigns of the Demon Clan, Taiyi and Dijun, would possess level 100 UIs.

Moreover, it was rumored that Dijun and Taiyi were both born as Innate Spirits on the Sun Star and thus naturally possessed supernatural powers to control True Sun Fire. This black silhouette seemed to be manipulating flames as well?

However, during the catastrophic war between the Witches and Demons, both Demon Clan sovereigns Dijun and Taiyi perished. Logically, even if some of their bloodline survived in the world, it shouldn't have been possible for them to reach level 100, should it?

So after some thought, Jiang Liu shook his head in the dark, feeling it was improbable for it to be Taiyi and Dijun.

Unless the legends of the war between the Witches and Demons were wrong, and they had not perished.

So, other than Taiyi and Dijun, who else in the Demon Clan had the qualifications to reach level 100?

After racking his brains, another name flashed through Jiang Liu's mind: Demon Master Kunpeng!

In Ancient Times, Kunpeng's status within the Demon Clan was even above the ten Demon Gods, second only to Taiyi and Dijun. He created the Demon script and gained immense merit, earning him the title of Demon Master.

And more importantly, according to ancient legends, Demon Master Kunpeng did not meet his end!

If there was someone from the Demon Clan whose level could reach 100, it seemed that the most plausible was the legendary Demon Master Kunpeng, right?

Yet, the ancient texts stated: In the northern ocean lies a fish named Kun, so large that its size is unknown, thousands of miles perhaps. It transforms into a bird named Peng, whose back is equally vast...

This meant that Demon Master Kunpeng should be a water attribute member of the Demon Clan. However, the flames of Flame Mountain didn't seem to fit with Demon Master Kunpeng, did they?

...

"Master, this guy is very strong! You should all retreat quickly!" Sun Wukong held the Ruyi Golden Cudgel with fighting spirit in his stance and shouted to Jiang Liu and his companions.

"Alright, eldest brother, be careful!" Following Sun Wukong's words, Zhu Bajie decisively nodded and called out to him.

Then he said to Jiang Liu, "Master, let the eldest brother handle this. Shall we hurry and leave?"

"Bajie, with such a powerful enemy here, how can we abandon Wukong and flee alone?" Hearing Zhu Bajie's words, Jiang Liu shook his head and said.

"Yes, second brother, Master is right!" Taking out the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade, Sha Wujing also nodded in agreement.

In the midst of talking, he leaped forward, and his Blood-Transforming Divine Blade slashed directly towards the mysterious figure while he shouted loudly, "Eldest brother, I'm here to lend you a hand!"

Having reached the Taiyi Realm with the Demon Tool Blood-Transforming Divine Blade in hand, one must say that Sha Wujing's momentum was quite impressive.

However, as the imposing blade was about to strike the mysterious figure, suddenly, the enigmatic shadow moved without warning.

With the thumb and index finger of the right hand pinched together, the figure effortlessly caught the blade with just two fingers and then counterattacked with a palm.

"Vajra Mantra!"

Seeing the palm falling rapidly, Jiang Liu reacted quickly, instantly casting the Vajra Mantra skill on Sha Wujing, which could negate 80% of the damage of the next four attacks.

With a bang, Sha Wujing fell from the air, his health bar above his head reduced to a sliver of health.

Even with the Vajra Mantra skill negating 80% of the damage, the palm strike almost killed Sha Wujing outright, such was the fearsome the attack power of the shadow.

"This guy is determined to kill!" Watching Sha Wujing's condition and the health bar above his head, a sense of urgency gripped Jiang Liu's heart.

A level 100 powerhouse came with the intent to kill?

"Eh?" Even though it was just a casual palm strike, the shadow was surprised that it hadn't killed the opponent, looking down at its own palm with curiosity.

However, for this mysterious figure, whether or not Sha Wujing was killed seemed to be a trivial matter.

He glanced at his palm, then addressed Sun Wukong, saying, "I thought you were a fine monkey, but who would've expected you to have become a loyal dog of the Buddhist Sect? Faced with such a formidable enemy, your first thought is to protect these bald monks?"

"Master, he's calling you a bald donkey!" Instead of getting angry at the black figure's taunts, Sun Wukong turned his head and relayed to Jiang Liu.

"Weakness Talisman!"

At this juncture, regardless of the effectiveness of starting a physical fight, Jiang Liu flicked his fingers, and a gray-white talisman took shape in midair, falling onto the body of the black figure.

Having journeyed with Jiang Liu, Sun Wukong naturally had an excellent understanding with him. Seeing Jiang Liu make a move, Sun Wukong also lifted his Ruyi Golden Cudgel and smashed it down.

Whoosh!

As Sun Wukong's Golden Cudgel came crashing down, the black figure raised his hand, and golden-red flames burned in his hand, fiercely intense.

"Silencing Zen!"

Seeing the black figure use a flame-based supernatural power, Jiang Liu pointed with his finger, and the skill of Silencing Zen was activated directly.

However, although the skill of Silencing Zen made the flames in the black figure's hand flicker, they did not dissipate.

With a flick of his wrist, the flames surged directly towards Sun Wukong.

With a bang, Sun Wukong was once again sent flying, and as the rampant flames erupted, he let out a cry of pain. The health bar above his head immediately dropped by about one third.

"Sheep Transformation Technique!" Seeing his Silencing Zen apparently ineffective, Jiang Liu followed up with a flick of his fingers, the Sheep Transformation Technique skill was cast as well.

Yet, the black figure remained unmoved, the skill of Sheep Transformation Technique still having no effect whatsoever.

"As expected?" Seeing his Silencing Zen and Sheep Transformation Technique, two control-type skills, fail, Jiang Liu inwardly sighed.

Having reached the Quasi-Saint Realm, he wasn't able to achieve the ease of command like a Saint controlling the laws with mere words, yet he could already begin to control Law-Type abilities. Therefore, his control skills like Silencing Zen and Sheep Transformation Technique were ineffective.

From this mysterious figure, Jiang Liu once again confirmed his speculation.

Back at Wuzhuang Temple when facing Master Zhenyuan, these control-type skills were also ineffective!

"You bald monks are as annoying as ever!" The control skills might have been ineffective, but the mysterious figure clearly felt the effects of Jiang Liu's powers and spoke out against him.

As he spoke, he lightly flicked his hand, and another golden-red flame appeared, flung towards Jiang Liu.

"Master, get out of the way!" Seeing the flame descending, Zhu Bajie rammed forward, knocking Jiang Liu out of the way.

At the same time, he thrust his Nine-Toothed Rake viciously into the flame.

With a thunderous boom, the flame exploded, and Zhu Bajie lay scorched on the ground, his breath fading, clearly having suffered severe injuries.

"Hmph, as a member of the Demon Clan, you'd sacrifice your life to save a bald monk from the Buddhist Sect?" After casting a glance at Zhu Bajie lying on the ground, the black figure seemed to grow angrier and snorted disdainfully.

In the meantime, the mysterious figure raised his hand, and the golden-red flames gathered again, thrown straight towards Jiang Liu.

After repeated attempts, Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie nearly got killed, and even Sun Wukong, endowed with the Vajra Indestructible Body, was severely wounded.

Additionally, Sha Wujing truly harbored a killing intent, and because Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong were both of the Demon Clan, the figure had apparently held back.

However, just as the flame was about to hit Jiang Liu, suddenly, a figure appeared, standing in front of Jiang Liu, waved his sleeve, and the golden-red flame instantly burst, turning into a scatter of sparks.

Looking at the newcomer, with white hair and beard and wearing a Taoist robe, his presence was contained.

"Sworn brother!" At the sight of the figure who had appeared and blocked the attack for him, Jiang Liu yelled out in surprise and joy.

Who was Jiang Liu's sworn brother? Undoubtedly, it was the Temple Master of the Wuzhuang Temple, the Great Immortal Zhenyuan with whom he had sworn brotherhood before.

"You? Master Zhenyuan?" The gaze of the black figure fell upon Master Zhenyuan as he spoke.

The world is only so vast, and there are only so many at the Quasi-Saint level; they naturally knew each other very well.

"Taoist friend, do you not find it disgraceful to fight with a few juniors?" Master Zhenyuan looked calmly at the figure in the black feathered cloak and said.

He evidently recognized the opponent, even though the opponent wore a cloak.

"Indeed, in the midst of a great calamity, those favored by destiny aren't so easy to kill," the figure under the cloak said, showing no surprise that Jiang Liu had been rescued.

After pausing for a moment, he continued, "However, do you think that if I wanted to kill someone, you could stop me?"
