Chapter 54 The Good Guy Card
Sacrificial Strike was a skill that came with the Arhat Mace Jiang Liu gave Daoji, consuming one's own Health Point to boost the Attack Power, simply put, it was a move that hurt the enemy severely at a great cost to oneself.
Seeing Jiang Liu gravely injured and about to be killed, Daoji couldn't care less and immediately launched the attack.
The formidable power burst forth, blood evaporated into a mist of crimson, resembling a blood-soaked demon god, and slammed fiercely into the Electric Light Leopard.
With an increase of 800% in Attack Power, Daoji's strike was earth-shattering.
Even the Electric Light Leopard, with its Demon Marshal Level Cultivation, was savagely thrown away, struggling to rise from the ground but failing twice in its attempts.
In Jiang Liu's eyes, the Electric Light Leopard, which already had only about 20% of its Health Points remaining, now looked even more pitiful after the attack, with a large chunk of its health bar missing, barely hanging on by a sliver.
Inside the Demon-Suppressing Hall at that moment, both the men and demons were gravely wounded and on the brink of death.
The Little Witch had only 5% of her Health Points left, seemingly could be killed with just one more attack. Stay updated through empire
The Health Points of the Electric Light Leopard seemed not much different from that of the Little Witch, just a shred of Health Points remaining, nearly killed by Daoji's Sacrificial Strike.
Jiang Liu's chest was severely caved in, and the health bar above his head was also left with about 10%, hardly able to move.
As for Daoji? Already injured, he fell unconscious on the ground after using the Sacrificial Strike, with only a sliver of Health Points remaining above his head.
Struggling twice and failing to rise, the Electric Light Leopard felt a crushing despair, knowing its death was inevitable.
It wouldn't be long before an even stronger monk would be alerted by his Demon Marshal Cultivation and enter the area.
At this moment, the Electric Light Leopard regretted the situation, if it had known this monk would fight to the death, it wouldn't have stayed to kill them both; it would have been better to take the subdued target back to the Demon Cave right away.
However, despite feeling desperate, the Electric Light Leopard was driven by a fierce will to survive, even in death, it wanted to take the two little monks down with him.
These two little monks had so many Precepts Scars on their heads, even in death, pulling them down with him didn't seem like a loss.
Unable to stand anymore, the Electric Light Leopard simply didn't try to rise, slowly raising its hand, channeling the last of its strength as electricity gathered at its fingertips.
Watching the Electric Light Leopard's fingers pointing at him, as electricity gathered there, Jiang Liu's heart sank.
He too was unable to move, completely powerless to dodge.
"Guanyin Mantra!" But at that moment, Jiang Liu noticed that the Guanyin Mantra, with a cooldown time of 600 seconds, was ready again.
Without any unnecessary words, he cast the skill directly on the Little Witch.
Although a 10% recovery of the maximum Life Value wasn't very strong, in their current critical state, every little bit of recovery was precious.
As the Guanyin Mantra skill activated, visibly, the Little Witch's remaining 5% of Health Points on her health bar instantly recovered a small portion.
"Silencing Zen!" After giving the Little Witch a Guanyin Mantra, Jiang Liu followed it up with a Silencing Zen skill on the Electric Light Leopard, causing the electricity gathering at its fingertips to scatter instantly into nothingness.
Having slightly recovered her injuries, although the Little Witch was still severely wounded, she was capable of taking action.
Looking at the Electric Light Leopard that also lay on the ground unable to move, the Little Witch raised her hand and a pitch-black flame ignited, flying towards the Electric Light Leopard.
Although the flame was weak, being only the size of a soybean, it landed on the Electric Light Leopard and spread out rapidly.
With only a sliver of Health Points left, the Electric Light Leopard could only watch helplessly as the flame spread, engulfing it completely, its screams echoing as it turned to a charred corpse.
The died Electric Light Leopard also reverted back to its original leopard form.
Notification: Gained 1680 Experience Points.
As the Electric Light Leopard was killed, the game system's notification sounded.
Indeed, because he could not form a team, the death of the Demon Marshal only yielded a mere 1600 Experience Points.
You should know, that standing human-like and injured Wolf Demon had given himself a full 2800 Experience Points.
However, surviving was already good enough, and Jiang Liu didn't expect too much. He took out a Healing Potion from his inventory and gulped it down; a warm power circulated within his body, and his injuries immediately recovered partially.
Barely standing up, Jiang Liu walked over to the Electric Light Leopard's corpse and rummaged through it.
Sure enough, under the corpse were some items: there was Equipment, Skill Books, and Potions.
Equipment from monsters he killed, or those killed by a team, would automatically appear in the inventory space.
However, for monsters killed by others, Experience Points were distributed based on Contribution Points, and the dropped items would appear under the corpse, belonging to whoever picked them up.
With just a glance, the attributes of these dropped items appeared in front of Jiang Liu.
Enhanced Healing Potion: On consumption, instantly restores 20% of maximum Life Value. Potion cooldown time 60 seconds.
Mana Potion: On consumption, restores 10% of maximum Mana. Potion cooldown time 60 seconds.
Golden Cicada Buddha Robe (Perfect Quality): Required level 15, Defense +400, Passive Skill (Golden Cicada's Shedding): When sustaining a fatal attack, transfers the damage to the Buddha Robe, consuming Durability 5, Durability 14/15.
"Demon-Subduing Mantra," a Monk class Skill Book, required level 15.
Azure Crown (Fine Quality): Required level 20, Defense +220, Passive Skill (Salvation of All Beings): Consumes 10% of user's max Life Value to restore 20% of target's max Life Value, Cooldown Time 60 seconds, Durability 18/20.
As expected of a Demon Marshal level monster, the dropped items were plentiful indeed, including a Potion, a Skill Book, and two pieces of Equipment.
Without wasting words, Jiang Liu raised his hand and collected all these items into his inventory space.
Just then, he faintly heard the distant sound of Zen chanting; it seemed the rescue from the Great Buddha Temple's high monks had arrived.
From the moment the Electric Light Leopard exhibited the power of a Demon Marshal until its death, although many things had happened, it all occurred in little more than about two minutes; the arrival of the high monks from the Great Buddha Temple was indeed quite swift.
However, looking at the Little Witch struggling to stand up, yet wobbling unsteadily, Jiang Liu hesitated for a moment before tossing over the newly acquired Enhanced Healing Potion from his inventory space.
"Drink it and go quickly. If you don't leave now, once other high monks arrive, you won't be able to escape."
Taking the Enhanced Healing Potion Jiang Liu had tossed to her, the Little Witch looked deeply at him, did not hesitate, and drank all of the potion.
Instantly, her injuries recovered further, and her Health Bar also returned to about 35%.
Though still injured, her movements were not greatly affected anymore.
"Brother Xuanzang, you really are a good person," feeling her injuries healing, the Little Witch said to Jiang Liu.
"Don't. In our homeland, being given a 'good person card' is like being pitied; it's almost like cursing or insulting someone," receiving a 'good person card' from the Little Witch, Jiang Liu said somewhat irritably.
As the sound of Zen chanting drew closer, the Little Witch suddenly grinned mischievously, turned, and ran off, but her voice carried from afar.
"That's really amusing. In our Demon Cave, it's also a way of cursing or insulting, hee hee hee..."
"That's why I say, bratty kids are so annoying," having spent a few days together, it was the first time he saw the Little Witch's mischievous behavior, Jiang Liu silently shook his head.
Of course, Jiang Liu understood that after this battle, the Little Witch had completely let go of her wariness towards him, which is why she behaved this way.
Not long after the Little Witch left, the Buddhist Light shone resplendently, supreme and fiery.
Saint Monk Longhai personally appeared in front of Jiang Liu...
