Volume 4: Biochemical Attack Chapter 938: Life and Death Battle
After this brief conversation with Donna, Li Jiu could only confirm that Shangguan Lingyun had at least the strength of an eighth-level warrior, and supernatural powers above the mid-level monarch level.
Moreover, the type of Shangguan Lingyun's supernatural powers is still unknown.
And this information is from just one month ago.
Shangguan Lingyun's strength at this moment is naturally stronger than it was a month ago.
"Li Jiu...are you sure you can deal with a level eight fighter?" Just as Li Jiu was thinking, Donna suddenly looked up at him and asked with expectation in her eyes.
She really hoped that Li Jiu's answer would be confident.
But she also knew that although Li Jiu's strength had surpassed hers and might even have reached the level of a seventh-level warrior, it was impossible for him to deal with an eighth-level warrior...
Even she found this too unrealistic.
You know, in Donna's opinion, it is already a miracle that Li Jiu has grown to the level of a seventh-level warrior in less than a year.
As for Li Jiu becoming an eighth-level warrior, that is simply impossible!
In fact, it is true!
If not, Li Jiu accidentally absorbed two streams of red and green biochemical energies, and those two streams of biochemical energies, under special conditions, condensed into an incredible ball of golden energy in his body.
So, up to now, his real strength has only reached the level of a sixth-level warrior!
However, it was precisely because of that magical golden energy that he was able to directly reach the seventh-level warrior in human form after mobilizing it.
And if he uses that ball of golden energy crazily and without regard for the consequences, his strength will jump two levels and reach the terrifying level of an eighth-level warrior!
Of course, Donna didn’t know about these things, and even the team members following Li Jiu were not very clear about them.
"Level 8 fighter?" Li Jiu hesitated for a moment, a hint of a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he said very calmly and firmly: "Sure!"
"Okay?" Donna couldn't help but be stunned.
She was already surprised that Li Jiu could give a positive answer.
What she didn't expect was that from Li Jiu's tone, he seemed to be really confident, and he was not just answering reluctantly to reassure her.
"Yes, the eighth-level warrior is very powerful, but I am also confident that I can fight him." Li Jiu chuckled and said, "But I am not 100% sure whether I can defeat him in the end."
"In other words, even if he is an eighth-level warrior, you are confident that you can compete with him and will not be easily defeated by him?" Donna asked in disbelief.
She had not seen it with her own eyes, nor had she even heard that Li Jiu had killed Lei Zi, the ultimate warrior comparable to an eighth-level warrior, in Black Dragon City. Naturally, she could not believe Li Jiu immediately.
"Yeah." Li Jiu nodded and said, "In fact, I have fought with an enemy who is comparable to an eighth-level warrior, and I even managed to kill him in the end."
"An enemy comparable to an eighth-level warrior?" Donna was slightly surprised. "Are you talking about the Terminator you encountered?"
"Yes, that's him." Li Jiu nodded.
"If it's that kind of Terminator, it's possible that it has the strength comparable to that of an eighth-level warrior..." Donna pondered, and then asked with a hint of doubt: "However, most of the Terminators that appeared on the battlefield outside are only seventh-level warriors. Are you sure that the Terminator you killed has the strength comparable to that of an eighth-level warrior? Not just close to an eighth-level warrior. After all, you have to know that there is still a big gap between the strength of a warrior close to an eighth-level warrior and a warrior of an eighth level."
"If you just barely managed to kill a Terminator whose strength was close to that of a level 8 warrior, it doesn't mean that you really have the strength to fight against a real level 8 warrior, or even Shangguan Lingyun who might be even stronger than an ordinary level 8 warrior..."
Listening to Donna constantly questioning herself, Li Jiu couldn't help but frown.
"Donna, what's wrong with you?" Li Jiu stared at Donna's worried face and asked in confusion: "If my strength is really not as good as Shangguan Lingyun, are you willing to give up this battle?"
"Don't forget, this fight is related to your engagement with the other party!"
"If you give up directly, you will probably be forced to marry Shangguan Lingyun!" Li Jiu unconsciously emphasized his tone, "Don't tell me that you have been working hard to run the Night Rose Mercenary Group and have been preparing for this for so long, but today you are giving up on your own initiative. Or, in other words, you have changed your mind and are willing to obey your family's wishes and marry Shangguan Lingyun on your own initiative!"
"How is this possible?!"
"I will never marry him!"
"I……"
Unexpectedly, after hearing Li Jiu's words, Donna suddenly stood up excitedly, stared at Li Jiu, and rejected it firmly.
"Uh..." Li Jiu was stunned when he saw Donna's sudden action.
Could it be that what I said just now was too harsh and irritated Donna?
"I..." Seeing the stunned Li Jiu, Donna quickly realized that she was too excited and lost her composure. She couldn't help but blush and seemed a little overwhelmed. "Anyway... I will never marry someone I have no feelings for!"
"Well, okay, you sit down first..." Li Jiu coughed dryly and said awkwardly: "Since you don't want to give up the fight and marry the other party, why bother asking me about my strength? Regardless of whether I have the strength to compete with the other party, I must go to this battle."
"I understand this logic, but... this is a life-and-death battle!" Donna hesitated and said through gritted teeth.
"A life-and-death battle?" Li Jiu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
A life-and-death battle means that during the fight, both sides are not simply comparing their strengths, but are trying their best to kill each other!
And if he remembered correctly, Donna had never told him that this would be a life-and-death battle!
"I'm sorry...they just changed the conditions recently..." Donna bit her lip and said apologetically.
After hearing this, Li Jiu finally understood why Donna had to confirm her strength again and again.
It turned out that she was worried because the battle suddenly turned into a life-and-death battle. If her strength was too far behind Shangguan Lingyun, she would die tragically at the hands of the other party during the battle.
"A life-and-death battle? Haha, interesting. It seems that your family really wants to marry you, the eldest daughter, to Shangguan Lingyun." Li Jiu pondered for a moment, then suddenly shook his head and smiled, "However, whether you want to get married or not is not up to them. As long as you don't want to, then I won't let anyone force you. Get ready for the fight!"
