Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 525 Bald Monk, Take This!

On the desolate plains, the Buddhist monk Guangming spoke with resounding conviction, exuding righteousness.

Chongguang laughed: "What? You didn't kill the people of the ten cities in Jiangdong?"

Upon hearing this, the Buddhist monk Guangming frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense, benefactor. How could I kill anyone? They all came voluntarily to help me cultivate Buddhism."

"Practicing Buddhism, will you kill yourself?" Chongguang asked rhetorically.

Guangming, the Buddhist disciple, immediately shook his head, revealing a sorrowful expression: "It's because their karmic connections weren't strong enough. After all, it's difficult to become a true Buddha, but this can also be considered their good fortune."

"You call this a blessing?"

"Isn't it?"

Guangming, the Buddhist disciple, tilted his head and said solemnly, "The reason they come to cultivate Buddhism is because there is too much suffering in the mortal world, and they seek help from the Buddha, right?"

“This humble monk did not force them.”

"On the contrary, I even paid them. It was all consensual. It was their own inability to rid themselves of the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance that prevented them from becoming true Buddhas."

"It doesn't matter. Although they have failed to become Buddhists, they have already found Buddha in their hearts. After reincarnation, they will be able to return to purity. When they are reborn in the Pure Land, they will be able to understand their true selves and be far away from all the suffering in the world. They will be able to enjoy ultimate bliss and purity. May I ask you, benefactor, isn't this a blessing?"

After Guangming finished speaking, he looked seriously at Lü Yang and Chongguang.

They seemed to be waiting for their rebuttal.

Upon seeing this scene, Lü Yang and Chong Guang exchanged a glance, then both smiled, their palms already condensing divine power.

"Boom!"

The next second, a magnificent palace rose like a raging fire, mixed with a phantom of a bronze furnace, engulfing Guangming Buddhist disciple layer by layer.

【Guiyuan Palace】.

【Steel Flame Furnace】!
Two supernatural powers crashed down from the sky, causing the Buddhist disciple Guangming to shake his head: "I thought the two benefactors would have profound insights, but I didn't expect them to resort to such inferior methods."

Lu Yang sneered at this: "I'm too lazy to reason with you. You're not worthy to listen."

After speaking, he unleashed his innate divine power, the [Chongli Imperial Edict Mountain and Sea Map], which swept across the sky, shining brightly like a second sun rising in the heavens.

However, soon, Lü Yang's pupils shrank, and he saw that whether it was his or Chong Guang's supernatural powers, their magnificent magic power fell on Guangming Buddha's body, it all dissolved instantly like a mud ox entering the sea, without causing the slightest ripple, and was completely swallowed up by the broken Buddha statue behind him.

"Sir, how about we make a bet?"

Guangming's voice came from the [Imperial Edict on Mountains and Seas], calm and indifferent: "If you win, I will lead all the Buddhist monks of the Pure Land to submit to the Daoist court."

"The bet is this great Buddha statue behind me."

“I came to Jiangdong only to cultivate Buddhism. No matter what means you use, as long as you can help me cultivate this Buddha, then you will have won.”

"If you lose, there's nothing to do."

"Just keep practicing Buddhism for me until the Buddha statue is completed. You are free to come and go as you please. I will still be able to make all the Buddhas of the Pure Land submit to me."

"how?"

His response was a dazzling golden light.

'A wise ruler governs!'

The biggest drawback of this mysterious technique is that it requires the use of mystical light to strike, which limits its speed. Even if the opponent cannot withstand it, they can still find a way to escape and avoid it.

Therefore, before activating this profound technique, Lü Yang would often carefully set up traps, just as he had done with Empress Xiao, in order to achieve success in one fell swoop.

However, this time, Lü Yang discovered that Guangming Buddha, relying on the broken Buddha statue behind him, did not intend to dodge at all. He immediately had a sinister thought. On the surface, he activated his supernatural power, but in private, he used a magic spell and suddenly slammed down, instantly engulfing Guangming Buddha.

Strip him of his supernatural powers!
In an instant, Guangming Buddhist disciple's body trembled violently, and his Buddhist light surged, revealing five figures sitting upright within, who had been forcibly brought out by Lü Yang's supernatural powers.

However, he showed no sign of panic; instead, he laughed heartily.
"You truly have a connection with Buddhism!" "Excellent!"

"Good!"

On the other side, Lü Yang's eye twitched slightly.

The five figures, some dazed, some laughing, each with a different expression: some glared fiercely, some were compassionate, some looked bitter, and some were resolute.

—They are all Dharma forms!

'[Manifesting worldly phenomena], [Observing worldly phenomena], [Listening to worldly phenomena], [Purifying worldly phenomena], [Residing in worldly phenomena]. Damn it, the World-Honored One has absolutely no shame!'

In his previous life, Guangming Buddha was merely a [Manifestation of the World], yet he was virtually invincible within the Foundation Establishment realm, with no one able to stop him except for the Demon-Slaying True Man. But this time, the World Honored One directly descended five Dharma Forms! Not only that, but the five Dharma Forms also seemed to possess a secret technique for coordinated attacks!

"Amitabha."

The next second, the five Dharma images spoke in unison, letting the brilliant light of Lü Yang's [Enlightened Ruler] sweep down, and then actually flew towards Lü Yang on their own!
In an instant, the sound of chanting sutras rang in Lü Yang's ears.

Almost simultaneously, the [Immortal Kingdom Laws] descended from nowhere, enveloping his entire body and forcing him to swallow the "Eek!" that almost escaped his lips.

Lu Yang almost immediately wanted to sever the connection with [Wise Ruler], but the five Dharma Images forcibly maintained the connection with [Wise Ruler], watching him intently. If it weren't for the protection of [Immortal Kingdom Laws], they would probably have already landed on Lu Yang and successfully converted him in an instant.

'Is she trying to cling to me?'

Lu Yang frowned, his hand hidden in his sleeve already gripping the Hongyun Gold Star. Now, perhaps only by feigning to hold the Gold Star position could he break the deadlock?
But he still felt something was off.

"Pretending to hold the position of emperor is my biggest trump card, but it's not the first time I've used it. I pretended to hold the position of an outsider once before, when I sent Emperor Jiayou away."

If you want people not to know, unless you do it yourself.

Anything done, no matter how secretly, will leave a trace. Given this, how could the World Honored One not know that he could falsely hold the throne?
'trap?'

Lu Yang hesitated, more importantly because he didn't know what the hidden agenda was behind the broken Buddha statue behind Guangming Buddhist disciple, or what kind of "Buddhist cultivation" it was.

'Still not strong enough.'

Lü Yang was helpless. Although the World Honored One did not personally intervene, even if it was just a pre-arranged arrangement under the guise of a Buddhist disciple, it was enough to put him in a dilemma.

At this thought, Lü Yang couldn't help but curse inwardly:
Damn it, where is the Daoist Master of the Dao Court?
Didn't you say I had to do it, so I wouldn't back down? Now that I've done it, where are you? Hurry up and come down from the sky and slap Guangming Buddha to death.

At the same time, the Buddhist disciple Guangming was still speaking leisurely:
“Benefactor, I know you are after gold, and you only lack my place in Jiangxi. Since that’s the case, why fight? Even if you kill me, how could you kill the thousands upon thousands of Buddhist monks in Jiangxi? Why not sit down and have a duel as I said before? That would be a great act of merit.”

"Qiang Qiang!"

A sword's cry interrupted Guangming Buddhist disciple's words. He raised his eyebrows and looked up, only to see a three-foot-long green blade reflected in his pupils.

"Pfft!"

A streak of blood flashed in the air, but it was a sharp upward slash from the green blade that left a gruesome, gaping wound on the face of the Buddhist monk Guangming.

If Guangming Buddhist disciple hadn't taken a step back in the blink of an eye, avoiding the sword's edge and preventing it from piercing his eyes, and if he hadn't been protected by the broken Buddha statue behind him, this sword strike would probably not have just left a sword mark on his face, but would have cleaved his entire head in two!

"It's you!?"

While covering his eyes, which were still emitting light and resembled flowing blood, and the sword wounds, Guangming Buddhist disciple looked at the master of Qingfeng with a mixture of shock and anger:

"You are far away in Jiangnan, and I have not harmed Jiangnan in the slightest. Why?"

Before Guangming Buddhist disciple could finish speaking, the gleaming green blade was once again aimed straight at his head, accompanied by a cold, icy roar:

"How can you talk about not harming the innocent and not taking anything from them?"

"We are mortal enemies!"

"Bald monk, take this!"
