Misery: There is a pawn shop here

Chapter 62 Chaos

Demonic flames surged, incinerating the three thousand lotus-blossom realms of meditation. Crimson flames licked the shattered remains of the shrine, and the glazed tiles warped in the intense heat, like the blood and tears of a dying Buddha. Jian Xue Wuming stepped upon the karmic fire, the sacred Lotus Relic humming and trembling in his palm, the sword's spine reflecting the mocking mouth of the opposing demon.

The sword forced the Buddha-devouring boy to death, and only fighting could calm the intensity in his heart.

Jian Xie, who is a combination of Buddha and demon, holds a holy weapon to increase his power. The Buddha-Swallowing Boy is unarmed and can only fight with his palms. The sound of the palms and swords clashing shatters the depression in Jian Xie's heart.

"Just this is not enough. Your awareness and your killing intent are far from enough."

Using his magic power against the holy weapon, and without the help of weapons, the Buddha-Swallowing Boy gradually fell into a disadvantage as the battle progressed. However, the devil's fire was blazing, and all three meridians were broken. The madness of the fierce battle made the devil and the evil not even think of retreating.

"you!"

The wine bag handed to him by the man when they first met in the snow, the starlight reflected in each other's eyes when they drank together by the campfire, and more... these fragments twisted and reorganized in the magic fire, and finally turned into the face in front of him that was no different from that of his best friend.

Frustrated and unwilling, they are clearly the same person, so why are their personalities so different?

How can I save you...

Palms and swords clashed once more, fire and snow clashed, and the demons and evil spirits retreated. With a casual touch, they wiped away the bloodstains, but the Buddha-Swallowing Child still showed no sign of retreating. Even without a weapon, the demon world's war god possessed the confidence to face his enemies and defeat them.

"Angry? Unwilling? Tsk tsk tsk, devil, have you been brainwashed by Buddha? How can you have so many meaningless emotions?"

"It has nothing to do with you!" Jian Xue Wuming raised his eyebrows, raised his sword and attacked again. The Buddha-devouring boy sneered and raised his palm to take over again.

"If you want to keep the Buddha-devouring boy, this is the only awareness you have, but it's far from enough."

"Shut up!"

The demons and evil spirits fought with loud noises, causing the heaven and earth to tilt. Rays of fire and sword energy surged and scattered, and terrifying waves rushed against the nine heavens, bringing down endless waves, destroying mountains and splitting rocks. The entire Dingchan Heaven was completely unrecognizable.

Just as the battle between the devil and the evil was becoming increasingly intense, the sound of chanting was heard from the sky.

"When the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara was practicing the profound Prajnaparamita, he saw that the five aggregates were empty and was able to transcend all suffering. Shariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form. Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Similarly, feeling, perception, mental formation, and consciousness. Shariputra, all dharmas are empty in nature, neither arising nor ceasing, neither defiled nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing. Therefore, in emptiness there is no form, no feeling, perception, mental formation, or consciousness..."

The resounding Buddhist scriptures echoed in the sky above Dingchan Heaven. Jian Xie, who had been fighting frantically, gradually regained his clarity of mind. The same chanting sound fell into the ears of the Buddha-Swallowing Boy, but the Buddha-Swallowing Boy frowned and became very impatient.

"Joruri, I should have killed you from the beginning."

The source of the chanting was not difficult to find, but looking at Jian Xue Wuming who had calmed down in front of him, the Buddha-Swallowing Boy suddenly felt that he had lost interest. More importantly, that burst of Buddhist scriptures really made the demon feel a little disgusted.

"Qianyingxue!"

Not knowing what the Buddha-devouring boy was thinking, Jian Xue Wuming used his ultimate move again, just to keep the person in front of him. However, the Buddha-devouring boy wanted to escape from the battle, so he pinched his fingers and a magic seal appeared to block Jian Xie's move. Then he flew into the air, retreated, and disappeared under the sky.

"Don't worry, there's a long way to go. Jianxue Wuming, we'll have a chance to meet again. I hope you'll have realized your true identity by then."

After his move failed, Jian Xue Wuming retracted his lotus and without hesitation chased after the Buddha-devouring boy. Outside Dingchan Heaven, Jing Liuli, who had been sent away from the battlefield earlier, stopped chanting, slowly opened his eyes, and sighed helplessly.

However, at this moment, an unexpected change occurred -

“I never thought I could see such a good show.”

The moment Jing Liuli reacted, the person in the dark moved even faster, instantly restraining several vital points on Jing Liuli Bodhisattva's body. Looking at the figure before her, Jing Liuli was slightly stunned. "It's you, Shengzong!"

"It's just a small reputation, thank you Bodhisattva for your concern." Shengzong said, looking at Jing Liuli in front of him, "I have searched for all the righteous people, but I can't find them. Today, Shengzong is presumptuous and uses Bodhisattva as bait to lure in a group of heroes, ha."

……

……

On the other side, one wanted to retreat, while the other was chasing him relentlessly. The entangled fighting situation made the Buddha-Swallowing Boy gradually impatient.

"People who chase me relentlessly are annoying. You are a demon, and I don't want to kill you." The Buddha-Swallowing Boy turned around and looked at Jian Xue Wuming and said.

"I was born a Buddha, not a demon." Jian Xue Wuming retorted firmly.

"I have lost my patience with those who refuse to acknowledge their origins." The Buddha-Swallowing Boy's voice grew colder, his murderous intent already forming. "If you wish to fight, I can grant your request, but I will return Zhu Yan first."

"I have let go of Zhu Yan...what about the killing commandment?" Jian Xue Wuming asked.

"Don't you already know where it is?" the Buddha-devouring boy asked, "If you want to retrieve the Killing Commandment, go there."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Buddha-Swallowing Boy's palms once again formed a wall of fire that rolled towards Jianxue Wuming. Jianxue Wuming swung his holy sword and instantly shattered the wall of fire. However, the Buddha-Swallowing Boy had already disappeared behind the wall of fire. However, Jianxue Wuming did not pursue him at this time. Instead, his mind kept recalling what he had heard and seen before.

The dark road...

If I could really rescue that person, I would be enthroned with one sword...

How can I save you? How can I save you?

"It seems that the guest is still considering it." The sudden voice caused Jian Xue Wuming to turn around, and he saw a familiar figure.

"It's you, the one in the cave earlier."

"Yes, number 02." Qingsha nodded and waved his hand. A pawn card appeared in front of Jianxue Wuming. "If you really need it in the future, you can always bring this pawn card into the pawnshop and see the owner."

Looking at the ominous pawn card, Jian Xue Wuming chose not to hold it. Instead, he looked at Qingsha and asked, "Do you regret taking this path?"

"Regret?" Qingsha tilted his head slightly and looked at Jianxue Wuming with some doubt, then shook his head as if he understood something.

"I'm sorry, after the transaction with the pawnshop, most of my belongings have become theirs. So, if you ask me if I regret it now, I don't think I can answer that question. As for that swordsman from the past, at least at the moment of the transaction, he probably had no regrets. I wonder if this answer satisfies you."

"Have you ever paid attention to whether the person you traded for is actually living a good life?"

Upon hearing this, the confusion on Qingsha's distorted features became even more pronounced, and then he shook his head: "I haven't paid attention to it."

"Then what's the point of making this deal?" Jian Xue Wuming asked.

"Meaning?" He shook his head, still in the grip of passion. "It's the swordsmen of yesteryear who need to ponder meaning, not Pawnshop No. 002 today."

Jian Xue Wuming opened his mouth but could not say anything. He just looked at the person in front of him and the pawn card floating in the air, and was silent for a moment.
