SWNOVELXO Chapter 645: Earned!
Not only did the Empress feel like she was going crazy at this time, but Baosheng Buddha next to her also felt a sense of madness creeping in.
Who is the Empress? Not only does she possess a Quasi-Saint Level of cultivation, but her identity and status are also extraordinary.
Yet, could this person wielding the Absolute Immortal Sword actually be intending to fatally strike the Empress?
Countless Sword Qi fell down, their dense appearance showing no signs of holding back, but rather, they bore the intention to kill.
In the heart of Baosheng Buddha, the thought of fleeing to save his life emerged more than once: with the Empress here to withstand the Mysterious Man, should he take this opportunity to escape, he might be able to make it, right?
However, every time this tempting thought surfaced, Baosheng Buddha would secretly shake his head, hastily discarding the thought from his mind.
There was no choice, the reason the Empress was here fighting the Mysterious Man was to help him.
Now, with the attack's focus on the Empress, should he instead escape to save his life?
How could he possibly do something like that?
Even if he were lucky not to die today, if word of this got out, he would never be able to hold his head up again in his lifetime.
Therefore, although the idea was tempting, Baosheng Buddha did not entertain it, but seriously stayed by the side, watching the clash between the Absolute Immortal Sword and the Treasure Lotus Lantern.
Even though he was no longer able to intervene, he still had no intention of leaving.
Slice!
Risking injury, Jiang Liu activated the effect of the Godslaying Ring, and an even larger Sword Qi fiercely slashed down at the Empress.
To speak of it, indeed, there wasn't the slightest intention in Jiang Liu's heart to hold back; if he could seize this opportunity to kill the Empress at Quasi-Saint Level, it would be a very good result.
Ah!
Watching the huge Sword Qi coming towards her, unprecedentedly massive, the Empress couldn't help but let out a scream of alarm.
Not to mention that the Treasure Lotus Lantern was already in a damaged state, even if it were intact, could its defensive capacity withstand this Heaven-shocking Sword Qi?
The Empress also had no confidence in her heart.
With a splashing sound!
Although facing this Sword Qi attack, the Empress, at the critical moment, hastily activated her defensive Divine Spells, setting up a layer of goose-yellow defense.
However, under the attack of the Absolute Immortal Sword, this defensive barrier was completely unable to function and was directly shattered by the sword.
The relentless Sword Qi directly struck the Empress.
Under this Sword Qi, the Empress was completely pressed into the Ocean below.
"Hmm? Not dead?" Looking at the Sword Qi that pressed the Empress's figure into the seabed, Jiang Liu had originally thought that the Empress should have blocked his move, but unexpectedly, no hint of obtaining Experience Points appeared.
Clearly, this was proof that the Empress was still alive.
However, after waiting for a long time, the Empress did not emerge from the seabed, and Jiang Liu's gaze fell on Baosheng Buddha next to him, his murderous intent intensifying once again.
"It's bad! If I had known it would come to this, I should have taken the chance to escape!"
Seeing that the Empress's figure was suppressed in the seabed, oblivious to life or death, Baosheng Buddha's heart was filled with immense remorse.
Now that the black-clad Mysterious Man's attention was on him, what should he do?
Although the Empress's health bar hadn't emptied yet, with the ability of the Godslaying Ring providing double the damage, the Empress likely had very little combat power left now.
As the saying goes, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Taking advantage of the Empress already having very little combat power, he decided to finish off Baosheng Buddha first.
With a move, Jiang Liu directly lunged at Baosheng Buddha.
Startled, having just seen that even the Treasure Lotus Lantern's defense was hard-pressed to withstand the power of the Absolute Immortal Sword, where would Baosheng Buddha dare to battle with Jiang Liu any longer?
No longer considering whether it was appropriate, he turned and prepared to flee for his life.
"Thinking of escaping!?"
However, seeing Baosheng Buddha turning to flee, a cold laugh emerged in Jiang Liu's heart as he pointed a finger at Baosheng Buddha and directly activated the Silencing Zen Skill.
In an instant, Baosheng Buddha felt the Buddhist Power inside him as if it were shackled, making it difficult to move.
Forget fighting, even the ability to fly was hard to maintain, and the originally fleeing figure formed a parabolic arc, plunging down towards the South Sea.
Slice!
Watching the direction in which Baosheng Buddha's figure was falling, Jiang Liu waved the Absolute Immortal Sword again, and another Heaven-shocking Sword Qi slashed towards Baosheng Buddha.
With a terrified scream, reverberating through heaven and earth, this Sword Qi directly struck Baosheng Buddha, who was already severely injured and naturally could not withstand this devastating sword. The health bar above his head instantly emptied, his breath ceased, and a wisp of his soul, softly, headed towards the Underworld, flying into the hands of Ksitigarbha.
Because Baosheng Buddha took the initiative to attack first, using Divine Spells to bind Jiang Liu, his health bar emptied, and Baosheng Buddha died immediately.
Prompt: Gained 4,150,000 Experience Points, obtained 85,400 taels.
"Such high Experience Points, so much money!" Hearing this system prompt, Jiang Liu couldn't help but gasp.
Both were level 90 Golden BOSSes, yet the Experience Points from Baosheng Buddha were so much higher compared to those of the Drought Demon.
"It seems that in the battle with the Drought Demon, the main force was on Sun Wukong. Based on the Contribution Points, and also due to the weakening from being in a team, could that be why the Experience Points from the Drought Demon were so low?" Thinking of the disparity between the Experience Points from Baosheng Buddha and the Drought Demon, Jiang Liu quietly murmured to himself.
Or could it be that challenging beyond one's level gives a certain boost?
Setting aside the Experience Points for now, just from killing Baosheng Buddha, the amount of money that burst out was nearly 100,000 taels?
Indeed, one needs to kill such high-level beings, right?
A level 90 Golden BOSS, that must be the strongest force below the Quasi-Saints, right?
Such beings must be rare throughout the three realms and six paths, right?
With a myriad of thoughts in his mind, Jiang Liu quickly refocused himself, now was not the time to ponder these issues.
He checked his status, there were about 10 minutes left on his Equipment Trial Coupon. Jiang Liu moved swiftly, descending toward the South Sea.
If killing Baosheng Buddha yielded such a great harvest, what about the Empress at the Quasi-Saint level?
If she were killed, would it certainly yield even more Experience Points, and burst out more impressive loot?
As Jiang Liu descended, he raised his Absolute Immortal Sword and swung again.
The seawater was directly cleaved apart, revealing the seabed.
Underneath the sea, the Empress's appearance looked very pitiful, the Treasure Lotus Lantern had several cracks, the light was dim, seemingly about to extinguish at any moment.
This glimpse of light appeared to be the lifeforce of the Empress.
Looking at the Health Bar above the Empress's head, it was extremely dangerous, only about 10% left.
Seeing Jiang Liu split the seawater, truly intending to kill her, the Empress, clutching her sword wounds, tried to escape.
But, severely wounded, she could hardly even stand; how could she possibly escape?
Without wasting words, a man of action, Jiang Liu raised the Absolute Immortal Sword, and swung it at the Empress again.
The earth-shattering Sword Qi appeared again, sweeping towards the Empress, instantly engulfing her form completely.
Under this attack of Sword Qi, the Empress's figure completely disappeared, as if completely annihilated by the strike of the Absolute Immortal Sword.
However, Jiang Liu's brow furrowed slightly, as he did not hear the system prompt for gaining Experience Points.
This strike of mine should have emptied the Health Bar above the Empress's head, right?
Whether it was death or unconsciousness, shouldn't I have gained Experience Points?
Yet, I received nothing?
Does that mean, that the Empress escaped with some unknown method?
Scanning around with his eyes, under the heaven-shaking Sword Qi, the Empress indeed was nowhere to be seen. Jiang Liu silently sighed; she had escaped, which was indeed a heavy loss.
However, Jiang Liu's eyes narrowed slightly as he spotted a small blue lantern on the seabed.
With several cracks and extinguished light, yet, Jiang Liu saw it clearly; wasn't this the Treasure Lotus Lantern?
Originally thinking the Empress vanished inexplicably, gaining nothing and feeling very disappointed, seeing this Treasure Lotus Lantern lifted Jiang Liu's spirits.
With a raise of his hand, the Treasure Lotus Lantern appeared in Jiang Liu's hand.
Bowing his head to scan it, the Attribute Information of the Treasure Lotus Lantern naturally appeared in front of Jiang Liu.
Treasure Lotus Lantern (Divine Level): Level required, once activated, can cause damage, Defense, and imprisonment effects, the specific effects based on one's own Cultivation Level, never wears out, note: severely damaged state.
"Really worthy of being one of the Four Lotuses? Although it turned into the look of the Treasure Lotus Lantern, the Attribute Information is exactly the same as the other Lotuses, only with an added severely damaged state!"
Seeing the Treasure Lotus Lantern, with several cracks, Jiang Liu felt a bit heartbroken.
In the hands of the Empress, naturally she would have wanted to destroy it, but having it in his own hands and seeing the damage, it really hurt.
"Got it, this time, I really made a profit!"
Not to say anything else, spending 2.1 million on the Equipment Trial Coupon and the Absolute Immortal Sword, but being able to kill such a big boss like Baosheng Buddha, and snatching the Treasure Lotus Lantern from the hands of the Empress, I really made a profit.
After all, of the 2.1 million, only the Equipment Trial Coupon was consumed, the Absolute Immortal Sword remains in my hands and shouldn't be counted as an expense. This is completely different from the time I used real money to buy consumable items when dealing with the Drought Demon.
(PS: This chapter should have been updated much earlier, but as I was writing halfway, I felt extremely sleepy and planned to sleep for an hour before continuing to write. However, when I opened my eyes, 2 hours were gone, and I felt like I was going to die suddenly...)
