Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 789 - Jiang Liu Roc, you make the first move!

789: Chapter 789: Jiang Liu: Roc, you make the first move!

789 -789: Jiang Liu: Roc, you make the first move!

Because he aspired to pursue the Peacock Princess, in front of her, the Roc Demon always behaved rather humbly and politely, speaking with utmost civility.

However, watching the Peacock Princess take the initiative to hold the Monk’s hand and shield him behind her form caused the Roc Demon’s composure to explode.

No longer did he feel like maintaining his well-behaved facade.

“Baldy…”

The Princess was about to be stolen away by a baldy, so naturally, the Roc Demon had no intention of pretending anymore.

A fierce look crossed his face as he glared at Jiang Liu and said, “I don’t care who you are, but from now on, you are not allowed to see the Princess again.

Otherwise, I will crush you to dust, and not even Tathagata will save you.

Do you believe me!?”

The Roc Demon thrusted his threat forthrightly.

He truly wasn’t concerned about the identity of Jiang Liu.

A Monk?

A person from the Buddhist Sect?

Even Tathagata, the current master of Buddhism, was not someone he feared.

So, with regards to the Little Monk before him, the Roc Demon paid him no heed whatsoever.

“I don’t believe it!”

Even though the Peacock Princess was holding his hand and had protected him behind her, Jiang Liu still showed no sign of cowardice in the face of the Roc Demon.

He calmly met his opponent’s gaze and shook his head as he spoke.

The Cultivation Level of a Daluo Golden Immortal?

Indeed terrifyingly strong, but to Jiang Liu, unless facing a Quasi-Saint existence, he possessed the ability to protect himself.

He was no longer the soft persimmon of the past that anyone could knead as they wished.

“You should speak less…”

Hearing Jiang Liu’s confident response left the Peacock Princess somewhat dumbfounded.

After looking back at Jiang Liu, she quickly shook her head and spoke.

Indeed, “confident.” In the eyes of the Peacock Princess, Jiang Liu’s reply was certainly very confident.

But did he really have the conviction to back it?

The Peacock Princess was well aware of the background and strength of the Roc Demon.

Jiang Liu’s retort served only to add fuel to the fire and was completely ineffective.

“Seeking death!”

Hearing Jiang Liu’s reply, the Roc Demon’s eyes bulged with both jealousy and fury erupting simultaneously, his murderous intent nearly going berserk.

Without further words, the Roc Demon raised his hand and struck down towards Jiang Liu.

With the Roc Demon’s status and power, this palm was evidently delivered with murderous intent.

Bang!

Except, a jade hand appeared, blocking in front of Jiang Liu.

It was the Peacock Princess.

The Peacock Princess raised her hand, blocking the blow from the Roc Demon.

Although according to the ranks, the strength of the Peacock Princess was slightly lesser than that of the Roc Demon, it was only by a small margin; fending off the attack of the Roc Demon was not a problem for her.

“What are you doing!?

Attacking my guest in my Peacock Valley!

Do you have no respect for me at all!?”

While the Peacock Princess had been very proactive towards Jiang Liu, at this moment, her eyebrows stood fiercely inverted, demonstrating a very assertive demeanor as she berated the Roc Demon.

Seeing the Peacock Princess’s appearance, she seemed genuinely angered, which sobered the Roc Demon somewhat.

If he truly angered the Princess, even if he were to kill the Baldy, any potential for a relationship with the Princess was surely doomed, right?

“Princess, I’m sorry, I was impulsive!” Seeing the Peacock Princess angry, the Roc Demon promptly admitted his fault.

Yet, as he spoke, the Roc Demon’s gaze scanned past the figure of the Peacock Princess and settled on Jiang Liu behind her, and then he said, “Baldy, if you dare, don’t hide behind the Princess.

What skill is there in being protected by a woman?”

The Roc Demon’s words were merely an expression of his irritation, a harsh remark thrown out without real expectation of provocation.

In the Buddhist Sect, aside from the Tathagata and a few select others, he feared no one.

So, it was only logical for this obscure Little Monk to shrug off his goading.

After dropping that line, the Roc prepared to turn and leave.

It was not an ideal place in Peacock Valley to make a move, but the Baldy couldn’t possibly hide there forever, right?

He would wait outside the valley, and the moment Baldy left, he would extinguish him on the spot.

“Very well!”

Just as the Roc was about to turn away, suddenly, Jiang Liu’s voice rang out from behind, causing the Roc Demon to pause midstep, and then, with surprise, he turned his head.

“Holy Monk, don’t fall for his provocation, it’s just a ploy!” Hearing Jiang Liu actually agree, the Peacock Princess grew even more anxious, urging urgently.

“Holy Monk!?” Hearing the name the Peacock Princess used for Jiang Liu, the Roc Demon pondered covertly in his mind.

What made such a young monk worthy of the title Holy Monk?

Who was he?

However, now was not the time to contemplate such matters.

Regardless of any Holy Monk or Living Buddha, it was all meaningless to him. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Even if it were a Buddha from Western Spirit Mountain himself, I wouldn’t be intimidated in the slightest.

“Good!

You, Little Monk, have quite the courage.

I’m indeed impressed!

How about it?

Shall we take our fight outside the valley?” The Roc Demon nodded and spoke to Jiang Liu.

These words were sincere, at least the way the Roc Demon now addressed Jiang Liu as “Little Monk” instead of “Bald Donkey” showed some respect.

“Why bother going outside the valley to fight?

Right here is fine!” Jiang Liu spoke confidently to the Roc Demon.

“Oh?” Seeing Jiang Liu’s self-assured demeanor, the Roc Demon narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “It seems you have quite a blind confidence in your own strength!”

“Confidence I have, but whether it’s blind or not, isn’t it a bit too early for you to make such a call?” Jiang Liu calmly retorted.

“Holy Monk, wait…”

Seeing that Jiang Liu was truly preparing to take action against the Roc Demon, the Peacock Princess became even more anxious and spoke out to Jiang Liu.

“Holy Monk, although your cultivation level is quite impressive, it is far from being a match for him.

You don’t know his identity; he is…” The Peacock Princess spoke in a rush, eager to disclose the Roc Demon’s identity so that Jiang Liu would know the difficulty and retreat rather than falling for the provocation.

“Princess, I’m well aware of his identity!” However, hearing the Peacock Princess’s words, Jiang Liu simply shook his head.

Upon saying this, Jiang Liu paused briefly and then said, “If I’m not mistaken, he must be at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Late Stage of cultivation, right?”

“Er…”

When Jiang Liu pinpointed the Roc Demon’s cultivation level with a single remark, the Peacock Princess was stunned and looked at him in amazement, filled with even greater confusion.

Knowing that the Roc Demon was at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Late Stage, why would he still insist on fighting?

“You know of me!?” The Roc Demon frowned and asked incredulously upon hearing Jiang Liu reveal his cultivation level.

“Enough talk, let’s begin!” Jiang Liu, however, had no interest in continuing the conversation and spoke calmly.

“Fine, I’d like to see what gives you the confidence to fight me knowing that my cultivation has reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal Late Stage!” The Roc Demon said, nodding, seeing that Jiang Liu was not interested in idle chat.

As he spoke, the Roc Demon’s gaze still lingered on the Peacock Princess, maintaining a graceful demeanor as he said, “Princess, you see, he is the one who wants to fight me, I didn’t force him!”

“Hmph!” The Peacock Princess responded to the Roc Demon’s words with a soft snort, showing no intention of engaging any further.

Her beautiful eyes, deep as pools of water, remained firmly fixed on Jiang Liu.

“Are we fighting to determine the victor, or to decide life and death?” Although not wanting to talk too much, Jiang Liu still asked the Roc Demon before they began to make things clear.

“Given that we are in Peacock Valley and you are a guest of the Princess, naturally, it would be sufficient to simply decide the victor!” Despite wanting nothing more than to kill Jiang Liu, the Roc Demon thought for a moment and answered accordingly.

The Roc Demon was well aware that in the presence of the Peacock Princess, even if he truly wanted to kill the little monk, the Princess might intervene and try to stop him.

If that were the case, then it was better to settle for determining a victor.

“Just to decide the victor?” Hearing the Roc Demon’s response, Jiang Liu nodded slightly.

If it were a battle to the death, he felt it might be problematic, and he could not guarantee he wouldn’t have to use the Absolute Immortal Sword to defeat his opponent.

However, if it were merely to decide the victor, that would be much simpler.

“Since it’s only to decide the victor, then there’s no need for an epic battle lasting three hundred rounds!” Jiang Liu said after a slight nod.

“Battle for three hundred rounds!?”

The Roc Demon burst out laughing at Jiang Liu’s words and said, “Aren’t you overestimating yourself?

If you could withstand even thirty of my moves, you would already be considered exceptional within the Buddhist Sect!”

“Such bold words!” thought Jiang Liu inwardly at the Roc Bird’s comment.

Yet, he offered no retort, as the Roc Demon had the strength to make such a claim.

“Enough, stop the nonsense!

Let’s begin!” The Roc Demon exclaimed.

“You make the first move!

I’m afraid that if I were to act first, you would have no chance to respond!” said Jiang Liu.

“Arrogant!” Jiang Liu’s words enraged the Roc Demon.

Without holding back, the Roc Demon raised his hand and violently slapped it down towards Jiang Liu.

Facing the Roc Demon’s attack, Jiang Liu didn’t dodge or evade, allowing the blow to fall upon him.

“Holy Monk!”

Seeing Jiang Liu’s startled, motionless demeanor and his failure to dodge, the Peacock Princess exclaimed in shock.

With a thud,

the Roc Demon’s palm struck Jiang Liu’s chest, emitting a dull sound.

Yet, Jiang Liu’s figure didn’t move in the slightest, not even a tremble!

With the 10 billion defense value of the Green Lotus Buddha Robe, there was no way for the Roc Demon to break through it.

In the battle against the Roc Demon, Jiang Liu was in an invincible position.

“What!?

How is this possible!?”

Seeing his attacks had no effect, the Roc Demon’s face turned to one of shock.
