The Dominance of Martial Arts: Starting from the Tiger Roaring Golden Bell

Chapter 260: Eliminate the Demon and the Lotus, Start Over

The Sea of Bitterness, a Buddhist City.

The dark lake was suspended above the city.

The bright sun was obscured and the city was submerged in shadow.

Countless deformed black hands like vines spread from the lake into the city, as if to grab the entire city into the lake.

The black hand merged with the "Buddha's tool" made of the human body, and a large number of strange things such as weird monsters and evil objects were born.

The strange thing is that they did not act recklessly, but instead knelt down with the people around them.

They were kneeling and worshiping Buddha statues whose appearances were slowly turning into crying faces.

These people, monsters, and evil creatures screamed obscure and convoluted Buddhist scriptures at the Buddha statues.

Every time they recited a sentence, a dark, rotating eyeball would emerge from their bodies.

Not only them, but also the dead objects around them like tiles, walls, pillars and beams are the same.

The sky above the lake was watching all this.

I reached out and touched my right cheek, where I also saw three more eyeballs.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the human-tall Buddha statue standing in the center of the lake, which was made up of countless weeping human faces.

Suddenly, the Buddha statue moved and took a step forward.

One step later, it arrived in front of Jiekong.

Jiekong threw a punch without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, his fist hit the Buddha statue directly, and it felt like being stuck in a quagmire.

Jiekong frowned, made a prompt decision, turned his left hand into a knife, and cut off his right arm.

He flew backwards, mobilizing his divine power, trying to grow a right arm.

Unexpectedly, there were a lot of crying human faces on the grown right arm.

These human faces stared at the expressionless Jiekong with their dark eyes.

Four or five eyeballs suddenly grew on Jiekong's face.

"It eroded my body so quickly. The devil really should not be underestimated."

After muttering to himself, Jiekong freed his mind and quickly examined everything within a hundred miles of Yifo City.

During this time, whenever his mind came into contact with anything related to the devil, the devil would accelerate its erosion of him.

After a while, most of the white monk's robe on Jiekong's body was covered with a crying human face.

He regained his composure and smiled slightly:
“Can’t see, can’t hear, can’t touch, can’t even think.

In this respect, the devil and the Buddha are quite similar.

In such a short period of time, you were able to influence most things within a hundred miles. That's amazing."

During the inspection, Jiekong discovered that most things within a radius of 100 miles showed signs of being eroded by demons.

Some traces are so subtle that if you don't pay attention, you can't even notice them.

"Okay, I've said so much, do you have anything to say?"

The pitch-black Buddha statue said nothing, but the human face continued to wail.

It stretched out its hands and grasped emptiness.

A pair of inward-facing handprints suddenly appeared on Jiekong's neck.

"I asked you to speak, can you speak?"

"Hungry, eat."

The piled up faces no longer had cries of grief, but instead had expressions of drooling.

However, what flowed from the mouths of countless people was not water, but a dark and sticky liquid.

"Hungry? What do you want to eat?"

Jiekong tore off his right arm and released a ball of divine power, throwing it at the Buddha statue.

The Buddha statue didn't hesitate at all. It opened its mouth and bit towards the divine power.

As it devoured the divine power, its body grew larger.

"You don't like eating flesh and blood, but prefer eating divine power? Could it be..."

Jiekong summoned up another ball of divine power. This time he separated his own power from the power of incense and threw it towards the Buddha statue.

Sure enough, as Jiekong had guessed, the Buddha statue decisively pounced on the power of the incense.

“Except for your appearance and erosion, you seem to be no different from us.

It's just that his mind is too weak to even utter a complete sentence, unlike those weird and evil creatures."

After understanding almost all the information he needed to know, Jiekong waved his hand gently.

The Buddhist realm that he had never yet released began to play a role.

A normal right arm grew out, and all the abnormalities on the body disappeared.

The pitch-black lake and the countless arms within it turned into rolling clear water and fell to the ground.

Clear water rushed through the Buddha City, and the strange monsters, evil things, and the erosion of the devil gradually disappeared under the clean water. People, Buddha statues, and dead objects gradually returned to normal.

At this time, the Buddha statue in front of Jiekong let out a wail, and large amounts of black water began to flow out of the seven orifices of the human face that made up the Buddha statue.

It seemed that what happened below hurt it.

It wanted to attack Jiekong and wanted to increase the strength of its hands to strangle Jiekong to death.

But at some point, its hands disappeared.

It stood there in a daze, as if it had never had hands since birth.

Soon, the memory of its feet disappeared from its mind.

Although it didn't know what was happening, it knew that if it didn't take action, it would be dead.

Then, it used all its strength to spit out black light from the many mouths on its body.

The black light quickly merged and turned into a beam of light that shot into the sky.

Jiekong stretched out his right palm, ready to block the beam of light.

Just as the two were about to touch, the beam of light suddenly split into countless black lights that passed through the air and quickly dispersed in all directions.

"You know you can't win and you want to run away? In this respect, you are smarter than Yilian.

The problem is, in my Buddhist world, can you escape?"

Bang!Bang!Bang!
As soon as Jiekong finished speaking, countless black lights instantly exploded into dazzling fireworks of various colors.

The Buddha statue was caught off guard and could only rush towards the empty space, fighting to the death.

Roar! ! !
It roared and its hands turned into sharp spikes, stabbing at Jiekong's face.

"Alright, I still have something to say to my junior brother, you can leave first."

When Jiekong twisted his hands, the Buddha statue suddenly twisted and stretched, becoming a suspended spiral spike.

As it twisted, a one-legged monk emerged from its body.

That person was none other than Jiekong’s junior fellow apprentice, Yilian, the Buddha of Yifo City.

Yilian was sweating profusely, breathing heavily, and floating in the air.

"Brother, now you know you are wrong, right?"

Yilian quickly put his palms together and said, "Brother, I know I was wrong."

“The prerequisite for harvesting the power of incense is to keep people’s hearts as calm as possible. Only in this way can we balance the positive and negative energies that surge out of them.

You blindly pursue the power of incense and want to gain power without spending time. What is the result?

He was corrupted by the incense and turned into a demon without knowing it.

If you had stayed in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Realm, even though it would have taken you a hundred years to become a Buddha, I guarantee that your power would have far exceeded what it is now.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world. "

"Brother, is there any chance of recovery now?"

Yilian was unwilling to give in and wanted to find a way to survive.

Jiekong shook his head slowly:

“The temple is not targeting you. In fact, during this period of time, the immortal sect has been clearing out the immortals and Buddhas who are suspected of becoming demons.

This is the order of the Living Palace. No immortal or Buddha between heaven and earth dares to disobey.

Junior brother, do you have anything else to say?"

Yilian opened her mouth and wanted to beg for mercy again, but was stopped by Jiekong's gaze.

He gave a bitter smile and was about to confess his crime when two smiling faces suddenly flashed through his mind.

He calmed down and said hesitantly:
“If you are free, could you go to Wuwang City in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Realm to help me find two graves?
They were my parents when I was alive.

After I passed the imperial examination, I suddenly felt like becoming a monk, and despite their dissuasion, I insisted on entering the temple.

After entering the temple, I heard that although they became rich and prosperous because of this incident, they were still unhappy.

When they passed away, I was in retreat.

Afterwards, he began to practice to become a Buddha.

Until now, I have never paid tribute to them."

"Amitabha, don't worry, I will take care of this matter."

"Then I'll trouble you, senior brother."

Yilian heaved a sigh of relief, tidied up her disheveled robes, and called for the Zen staff that had been floating in the air.

Then he closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Jiekong clasped his right hand towards him.

After the empty grip, the lotus disappeared without a trace, and all the Buddha statues in and outside the city lost their identities.

People stood there in confusion, their minds blank.
