Chapter 125: 109、Buddhist Mantra, One Sword Cuts the Tathagata (8K Mega Chapter, Seeking Monthly Ticket)_5
"Mark of the Three-Worlds Bright King!"
Failing with this move, Xu Xing acted decisively, directly summoning the Eight-Armed Bright King Dharma Form.
Upon seeing this golden Dharma Phase, the vermillion centipede hesitated in mid-air for a moment, as if in doubt. But then, it gritted its teeth and lunged directly at Xu Xing’s forehead.
Eight giant Golden Palms moved towards the vermillion centipede at once.
In an instant, the two or three-inch-long vermillion centipede was reduced to less than an inch...
Despite this, the vermillion centipede drew close to Xu Xing’s body.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Xu Xing prepared to retreat rapidly.
If he was not mistaken, this Old Monk had cultivated the Buddha Transformation Technique and had successfully transformed into an external demon, which was the legendary Sky Demon.
Only a Sky Demon would not fear Magic Power.
ROAR!
As Xu Xing hurriedly retreated twenty or thirty steps, creating a half-foot distance between himself and the vermillion centipede, a sudden dragon’s roar emanated from within his body. The Bright Yellow Python emerged from the top of his head and instantly opened its mouth wide, lunging to swallow the vermillion centipede.
At the same time, the Eight-Armed Bright King Dharma Form began to hunt down and exterminate the vermillion centipede.
"No! Zhi Xing, spare your master..."
"Zhi Xing, your master has raised you for over ten years. You are an orphan of the Wen Family, who should have been executed. It was your master who raised you, taught you the Martial Dao, and allowed you to grow up without worrying about food and clothing..."
"Zhi Xing, you cannot repay kindness with hatred!"
These words of pleading reached Xu Xing’s ears.
However, Xu Xing’s expression remained unchanged as he increased his Magic Power output, preparing to crush the vermillion centipede to death.
"Since you are unkind, do not blame your master for being unrighteous!"
The vermillion centipede suddenly swelled, its segments rapidly expanding. It first transformed into a dragon, then a Naga, and in another instant, it morphed into a Bright Golden Buddha Form.
The towering Golden Body burst through the Zen Temple, its golden light illuminating the entire Capital.
"OM!"
"MA!"
"NI!"
"PAD!"
"ME!"
"HUM!"
The Buddha Form’s left hand held an alms bowl, while its right hand pressed down with a single palm.
Below its palm stood Xu Xing, firm within the Zen Temple.
Just the mere Six Tones of Sky Demon...
And he truly thinks it’s the Six-Syllable Mantra of Buddhism!
Xu Xing sneered. He had the [Bright King Body] protecting him. The Six Tones of Sky Demon might be a deadly weapon against ordinary people, but to him, it was less effective than any casual Innate Martial Arts attack.
"You couldn’t harm me when you were alive..."
"And now that you’ve transformed into a Buddha after death, you think you can harm me?"
He once again formed the Vajra Mudra, adopting a defensive stance to block the huge Golden Palm of the pseudo-Buddha transformed by Master Fa Hui.
BOOM! BOOM!
Under this palm strike, with Xu Xing at the center, the ground within a thirty-zhang radius sank by three or four feet. Simultaneously, the surrounding houses could not escape destruction, being reduced to wood chips and powder.
The Golden Palm gradually vanished.
The High Monks of Guanyin Zen Temple and other hidden experts nearby rushed to ascertain Xu Xing’s fate beneath the Golden Palm.
「The smoke and dust settled.」
Xu Xing emerged unscathed from beneath the huge earthen bed-stove.
Clad in a green robe, his sleeves billowed, rustling. However, the Jade Hairpin in his topknot had suffered collateral damage; it snapped and fell to the ground. His three thousand strands of black hair, freed from the Jade Hairpin’s restraint, draped over his shoulders.
"The Slayer of Master Fahui!"
"Heavenly Kun King—Chang Kun!"
Xu Xing trod on air as if stepping on invisible stairs. He walked to the golden Buddha’s neck and, with a flick of his sleeve, unleashed a bright yellow Sword Qi, over ten zhang long, slashing towards the Buddha’s head.
CRASH! The Buddha’s head plummeted, thudding heavily onto the ground.
The tens-of-zhang-tall headless Golden Body also slowly faded into nothingness.
「At the same time, another condensed Destiny emerged in the Bronze Ancient Mirror.」
[Subdue Demon (Purple): Protector of Buddhist Law, Arhat’s mission. Externally, it has a natural deterrent effect on Foreign Demon heads and is advantageous for slaying demons with Buddhist Cultivation Methods. Internally, it can anchor one’s mind and ward off external demonic interference.]
"Heavenly Kun King Chang Kun?"
The High Monks of Guanyin Zen Temple murmured to themselves.
Nearby, Monk Tongde watched this scene, his heart pounding with terror. How could he not recognize that the massive Sword Qi which had just slain Master Fa Hui was the legendary Great Imperial Court Sword Qi used by the demonic Zhi Xing?
Now, this Great Imperial Court Sword Qi had beheaded the Buddha... No matter how one looked at it, this was a tremendous act of disrespect towards Buddhism.
"Do any of you have objections?" Xu Xing’s face turned cold as he glanced back at these monks.
After unleashing that bright yellow Sword Qi, over ten zhang long, the Magic Power in his Dantian was almost depleted. If he couldn’t intimidate the Innate experts present in the Capital, even if he managed to escape, he would be severely injured... At that point, he would have no choice but to undergo ’resolve with soldiers’.
This time, he had been too careless. He had considered thousands of possibilities but never anticipated that the Old Monk had already become a Sky Demon. No wonder when the Old Monk first saw him, he had so easily abandoned his Physical Body and attempted to seize Xu Xing’s instead. If not for his Bright King Body and Human King physique, a mere Immortal Foundation Realm Cultivator like himself could not have slain Master Fa Hui. Furthermore, the Old Monk had devoured Dragon Luck, incurring the Heavenly Dao’s disgust, and had also plotted against him, the Human King. Due to these combined factors, every attack the Old Monk launched against him resulted in a backlash. That was how he had managed to slay the Old Monk, that Sky Demon, so easily. It was a case of complete heavenly restraint!
The crowd on the ground remained silent, daring not to utter another word.
They had just witnessed Xu Xing’s power. That sword strike which beheaded the Buddha was not something they wished to experience. Although Xu Xing was likely exhausted now, it probably wouldn’t be difficult for him to drag one of them down with him or go on a killing spree before his end.
