Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 489 : Jiang Liu: Am I a Boss that even Daluo Golden Immortals Dread?
Jiang Liu's gaze fell on the Nine-Headed Serpent, feeling the terribly strong aura emanating from it; his brows slightly furrowed, and at the same time, he muttered silently in his heart: "Character UI".
Instantly, a semi-transparent UI appeared in front of Jiang Liu.
ID: Nine-Headed Serpent (Blue).
Gender: Male.
Profession: Demon.
Level: 82
Equipment: None…
"Level 82 blue UI? A Great Luo Golden Immortal level existence? Worthy of being an Ancient Fierce Beast indeed!" As he examined the character UI in front of him, Jiang Liu's heart sank secretly.
The Nine-Headed Serpent was determined to kill Aolie in revenge, so believing Aolie to be a member of the Dragon Clan and considering the sea his home turf, he deliberately chose this deep volcano to limit Aolie's strength.
And this level 82 blue UI's Nine-Headed Serpent was meant to restrain him.
"To restrain me, they need a level 82 Nine-Headed Serpent? Such Great Luo Golden Immortal power!" However, seeing the ferocious appearance of the Nine-Headed Serpent, Jiang Liu shook his head secretly, endlessly complaining inside.
Was the Nine-Headed Serpent overestimating him?
"You bother yourself, even if you can't beat Tang Monk, you just need to help me restrain him. Don't let him intervene in my fight with Aolie!" Just as Jiang Liu was complaining secretly in his heart, suddenly, the Nine-Headed Serpent turned its head and spoke to the Nine-Headed Serpent.
"Understood! Don't worry!" Nodding, the Nine-Headed Serpent, as an Ancient Fierce Beast and a being of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, naturally could speak human language; during the conversation, its eyes also looked at Jiang Liu with some wariness.
Hearing the conversation between the Nine-Headed Serpent and the Nine-Headed Serpent, the corners of Jiang Liu's mouth twitched slightly.
What's going on? Could it be that he actually was a major figure without realizing it?
"Could it be..." In addition to his secret complaints, Jiang Liu soon realized something.
Initially, the Nine-Headed Serpent had him confront the Ten Thousand Years Iron Turtle at Black Water River, where he traded the ability of the Double Fish Jade Pendant for Sun Wukong's "Heaven and Earth Mighty Magic" and thoroughly experienced Sun Wukong's power.
At that time, the Nine-Headed Serpent had witnessed it with its own eyes.
"So, he thinks the power of that 'Heaven and Earth Mighty Magic', the punches that could kill the Ten Thousand Years Iron Turtle, was my own power?" Realizing this, Jiang Liu suddenly understood.
No wonder the Nine-Headed Serpent specifically sought out the Nine-Headed Serpent, an Ancient Fierce Beast to entangle him; no wonder he thought that even the Nine-Headed Serpent might not be able to defeat him.
"Master Xuanzang, I heard you once went to the Demon Realm and committed massive slaughter, even the Great Luo Realm's Yu Hua died by your hand. I know your power is strong, but I believe I can block you for some time!"
The Nine-Headed Serpent's gaze was fixed intently on Jiang Liu, its eyes conveying a hint of caution; it paused slightly, then negotiatingly said, "If you don't make a move, I won't either. We can just watch from the side, how about that?"
"Amitabha, Heaven has the virtue of a good life; naturally, I prefer not to engage if it's not necessary. I am a person who loves peace!" After a brief silence, Jiang Liu brought his palms together and softly chanted a Buddhist mantra.
"Huff…" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, the Nine-Headed Serpent's heart secretly sighed in relief.
Although one couldn't fully trust the words of this monk, since he verbally agreed not to make a move, it was something.
The Nine-Headed Serpent indeed showed no intention of attacking, only vigilantly watched Jiang Liu, ready for him to make a move at any moment.
It even maintained its original form the whole time and showed no intention of transforming into a Taoist body.
"Xiaobai, you heard as well; I'm sorry that I can't interfere with your conflict with the Nine-Headed Serpent!" Turning his head, Jiang Liu said to Little White Dragon Aolie.
"Master, don't worry, I can defeat him!" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Aolie responded, still brimming with confidence.
"Humph, your mouth is quite tough; I hope your skills are as impressive as your bluster!" Hearing his response, the Nine-Headed Serpent couldn't contain its disdain, snorting coldly.
If this had been in the sea, Aolie's statement might have angered the Nine-Headed Serpent, but it wouldn't have thought he was boasting.
But in this volcano, because of the advantage of location which suppressed his power, he still dared to boast?
You seem to have misunderstood something!"
Aolie's gaze met the Nine-Headed Serpent's, he shook his head, and said, "Actually, you're right; members of the Dragon Clan indeed exhibit their greatest power in the sea. Ordinary members of the Dragon Clan do have their powers suppressed in this volcano…"
"Humph, what are you implying? You aren't an ordinary member of the Dragon Clan? Your power won't be suppressed in this volcano?" The corners of the Nine-Headed Serpent's mouth held a sneer, evidently catching the implied meaning in Aolie's words.
Shaking his head, Aolie had no intention of engaging in a verbal skirmish with the Nine-Headed Serpent.
Without further ado, he just opened his dragon mouth, and immediately, a dazzling pearl was spat out from Aolie's mouth.
As a bead as red as fire appeared, the temperature in the air instantly increased significantly, and an intensely hot breath spread from the bead.
"Dragon Ball!? You actually formed a Dragon Ball!? And, it's a fire attribute!?" Watching the Dragon Ball spit out from Little White Dragon's mouth and feeling the scorching breath it contained, the Nine-Headed Serpent's face drastically changed, and he shouted in disbelief.
The Nine-Headed Serpent had heard of the legends of Ancient Dragon Clan, which subdued all clans during the Primordial Age and the great dragon-phoenix calamity.
After that dragon-phoenix calamity, both the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan had almost been wiped out. The current Dragon Clan was nothing but a shadow of its former self, far inferior in bloodline to the Dragon Clan of the ancient Primordial times.

And a Dragon Ball was something that could only be formed by the Dragon Clan when their bloodline reached a certain level, not even every Dragon King of the Four Seas could necessarily form a Dragon Ball.
But, Aolie actually had a Dragon Ball? And, moreover, it was of the fire attribute?
He had never heard of such a thing!
"Shocked, aren't you? I have a Dragon Ball, and it's one left by the Ancient Candle Dragon!"
No need for idle chatter or boasting now, showing his own Dragon Ball was the most powerful response. Seeing the dumbfounded look on the Nine-Headed Serpent, Aolie chuckled inwardly and then opened his mouth to swallow the Dragon Ball back.
Taking a deep breath, Aolie's figure soared into the sky, his white dragon body adorned with mysterious red patterns, which had appeared after fusing with the Dragon Ball of the Ancient Candle Dragon.
At this moment, those crimson patterns on him suddenly brightened, giving the impression that they had turned into flames.
Visible to the naked eye, the rolling heat waves deep within this volcano were now converging towards Little White Dragon, making the aura around him even hotter.
"Go die!"
At this point, the Nine-Headed Serpent, too, was in a difficult position, watching Little White Dragon in mid-air and shouting loudly as he also showed his true form, his nine heads each using divine skills to launch an attack at Aolie.
He had thought that deep within this volcano, he could suppress Little White Dragon's power, allowing him only to display seventy to eighty percent of his strength, but he hadn't expected that this deep part of the volcano would also be his home field, enabling him to perform extraordinarily well.
This point, he had hidden too well; he hadn't expected it at all.
However, at this stage of events, could he possibly just give up because of this?
So, with a heart full of anger, the Nine-Headed Serpent ceased to care for more and directly launched an attack, letting their respective strengths speak for itself!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Within this volcano, Little White Dragon, Aolie, seemed to switch modes, from water dragon mode to fire dragon mode, opening his mouth and suddenly, a large burst of scorching Dragon Flame came spewing out, confronting the Nine-Headed Serpent head-on.
Both sides had high cultivation levels, having reached the rank of Heavenly Immortal, and within the Heavenly Immortals, they were among the elite. Their true combat strength was comparable to ordinary Taiyi True Immortals.
The battle between Little White Dragon and the Nine-Headed Serpent was incredibly fierce and spectacular.
Jiang Liu watched their fight, nodding to himself in secret; indeed, inside this volcano, Little White Dragon's strength had indeed increased somewhat.
Having frequently raided with Little White Dragon recently, Jiang Liu, of course, knew his strength.
Yet, as Jiang Liu admired the battle between Nine-Headed Serpent and Aolie, he also noticed several pairs of eyes staring intently at him.
Turning his head, it was indeed Jiuying!
Jiuying, with nine heads, naturally also had nine pairs of eyes, yet, all these eyes were staring directly at him, making Jiang Liu feel somewhat uneasy under their gaze.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" With the corner of his mouth twitching slightly, Jiang Liu said to Jiuying.
"My task is just to keep an eye on you, to ensure you do not intervene!" Jiuying replied.
"Do you really need to do it like this?" Being stared at by nine pairs of eyes, Jiang Liu said with a strange expression.
"I need to focus all my attention on you! You Buddhist monks! None of you are good people!" However, Jiuying's nine heads continued to stare intensely at Jiang Liu, not even blinking, clearly focusing all their attention on him.
"Alright then!" Jiuying's response left Jiang Liu somewhat helpless.
Indeed, he was quite aware of what people from the Buddhist Sect were like, so it was no wonder Jiuying was so wary of him.
Being stared at by so many eyes made it difficult for Jiang Liu to continue watching the battle, so he simply turned away, his gaze also landing on Jiuying, he hesitated slightly and said, "Actually, I have a question that I've been wanting to ask!"
"Go ahead?" Hearing Jiang Liu's question, Jiuying hesitated a bit and then asked.
Nevertheless, as he spoke, the wariness in Jiuying's eyes deepened.
"You are Jiuying, with nine heads, and the Nine-Headed Serpent also has nine heads; do you have some kind of unspeakable connection between you?" Jiang Liu asked, voicing the curiosity in his heart.
