The more you believe me, the more real it becomes.

Chapter 143 King Wei, save me!

Utterly astonished, the black giant tiger finally said something to Du Yuan:
"How...how did you do that?!"

To change the host and guest on a mountain that one has occupied and is preparing to be deified—such skill is rare in the current climate.

It was truly unimaginable how the other party had managed to do it.

Because he was equally timid, his voice was almost off-key.

It's utterly ridiculous.

It wasn't exactly arrogant at first and obsequious at second, but it wasn't far off.

Du Yuan replied with a cold laugh:

"You wretched creature, you must be planning to occupy this place as your sacred site for reshaping your golden body, right? Although you were once a minor deity, you should still be considered a righteous god in this area."

How could you forget the clear justice of Heaven?

Having said that, Du Yuan angrily waved her hand and rebuked:
"Humph!"

"You hold the position of a righteous god, yet you do not practice the righteous law, but instead follow the path of evil! Can't you see through such perverse actions? You are not ordained by Heaven! You are not worthy of Earth's mandate!"

These words made the giant tiger's heart pound; it vaguely understood what kind of magic this fellow was performing. Therefore, it asked in alarm:
"You're using the Great Dao to suppress me?!"

This answer not only exceeded Du Yuan's expectations, but also gave him a pleasant surprise.

Ah, this is good, this is good!
The phrase "the Great Dao suppresses all evil" sounds powerful, and the other party clearly already believed it to some extent.

I still need to deal with things and handle some of the arrangements myself.

Lost in thought, Du Yuan pretended not to answer and stared at it before saying:
"Based on this, you dare to call yourself the god of this mountain? How can you claim to be able to command everything around you as easily as an arm?"

This way.

With each word Du Yuan spoke, the black giant tiger felt its body shrink a little lower.

Looking at the Du Yuan, which seemed to grow ever more majestic in its eyes, it knew it absolutely could not continue like this.

This person is probably using a technique that truly suppresses evil!
Nowadays, most people use it to harm others to gain merit and prestige, borrowing human fortune to flood the mountains.

Initially, it didn't want to get bogged down in a fight and wanted to minimize the damage, but this approach was already a poor strategy.

If he continues to delay any longer, even the King of Wei might find it troublesome.

Therefore, he roared angrily.

He swelled up, and the golden fragments embedded in his skull shone brightly.

"Shut up! I am a subject of King Wu Jingwei, so it is not your place to lecture me! I'm just asking you, is it really not going to end peacefully today?"

The giant tiger roared incessantly, its roar accompanied by a foul wind that shook the surrounding vegetation and caused rocks to tumble down.

It was already a desperate struggle, like a cornered beast!
Looking at the enormous black tiger before me, its body swelled to the size of a roof ridge.

Du Yuan said decisively:
"I told you, you have committed too many sins, and I will never forgive you!"

"Then let's have a fight!"

Knowing it was in dire straits, the giant tiger's ferocity completely overwhelmed its fear.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than it struck Du Yuan with the force of a landslide.

It has always been cautious and prudent, avoiding any contests of power whenever possible. If it cannot win, it will use its strength to suppress the weak, its power to bully the small, and its numbers to oppress the few.

But that doesn't mean it doesn't know how to fight against something even more powerful.

Because it had always been like this before it was repaired!
Moreover, it knows that those who use the Great Dao to suppress others are often those with poor physical strength.

Cultivate skills and destiny, not the body.

And if it was like this back then, it will be even more so now!

Who knows, he might still be just a mortal!

Therefore, we can only fight when we get close!
Seeing the giant tiger charging towards him with overwhelming force, Du Yuan held his breath. This was probably the most formidable opponent he had encountered in all his time traveling the world as a Taoist priest.

The guy from Xiangyang Mountain earlier, unlike this tiger, didn't have his golden body shattered into just a few fragments to maintain his image.

However, the other party was not in any danger, and was also fighting him from a distance, hiding somewhere unknown.

Both sides knew the other wouldn't kill them.

This was a true desperate struggle, a fight to the death, where all ferocity was unleashed!
If you don't want to bring out the Great Heavenly Dragon, you have to be extra careful.

As the giant tiger drew ever closer, Du Yuan felt as if a house was being smashed down on her with immense force!

How to do?
Should we shout out the name of the spell at this point to intimidate the opponent and try to make the fake spell appear real?
No, it's probably too early to say that.

in this way
Du Yuan immediately made a clear decision. Her eyes sharpened, and she stood still with her hands behind her back.

He had an air of nonchalance, as if Mount Tai were collapsing before him, and he remained unmoved.

His plan was simple—to stand still and rely on the protective golden light he had obtained from Qing County to withstand the attack!
Thousands of people in Qingxian County and countless people in Qingzhou are singing my praises. The immortal old man of Xiangyang Mountain, so many people are blessing my cultivation.

Under such circumstances, the protective golden light could definitely withstand it!
Of course, even as she said that, Du Yuan kept her gaze fixed on the increasingly approaching giant tiger.

Be ready to shout at any moment—Prajna Paramita!

Seeing this scene, the giant tiger's ferocity was further aroused.

How dare you look down on me like that!

The giant tiger suddenly leaped up, and the tiger on the rooftop instantly transformed into a black giant hammer, crashing down from the sky.

It will use its golden skull as a hammer and its muscular physique as a handle to smash this arrogant and conceited bastard to death!

At that moment, the golden light shone brightly on its skull, so much so that Du Yuan could see the dazzling light even without looking at it specifically.

Even so, he remained unmoved.

Now is the time to test what you've learned over the years!
Finally, the giant hammer crashed down.

Then, the sound of gold and jade clashing, which had once resounded throughout Qing County, echoed once again in this world!

The black giant hammer had vanished, replaced by a horrifying black tiger with a cracked head.

Three inches in front of Du Yuan, golden light shone brightly, as terrifying as the heavens!
Seeing this, Du Yuan smiled with relief.

It’s done!
But such a smile, seen by the giant tiger whose golden body was nearly shattered, was utterly terrifying.

He immediately cried out in panic towards the Heavenly Palace:

"King Wei, save me!!!"

This fellow is definitely not an ordinary deity from the three religions; he might very well hold a high position in the new palace!
Immediately afterward, a soft sigh came from the horizon.

Immediately afterwards, a phantom suddenly rose from the ground!

The man's face was blurred and indistinct, but his figure was as imposing as a mountain. He wore a black royal robe with dragons coiled around it and red brocade trim. He was bound in black leather, inlaid with jade beads and adorned with bronze bells. He wore a bronze crown with nine tassels. In his hand, he held a gilded bronze sword, its blade decorated with flowers, birds, and insects.

Hey! Regardless of his skills, just by looking at his outfit and his appearance, you can tell he's someone important and definitely not an ordinary person!

He stood by the mountainside, facing Du Yuan from afar.

Seeing that He did not speak, Du Yuan also stood with her hands behind her back.

Silently meet his gaze.

In this situation, whoever speaks first is already at a disadvantage!
As expected, the other party finally couldn't hold back and said:
"Fellow Daoist, please calm your anger! I am willing to apologize on its behalf. Upon returning, I will certainly discipline it strictly, lock it in my cave, and prevent it from causing trouble again. I wonder if you could be so kind as to spare the life of this worthless attendant?"

Upon hearing this, Du Yuan burst into laughter:

"Ha! In the past, when I and the traveler went west to obtain the scriptures, we encountered countless demons who wreaked havoc on the human world! Every time we captured them and were about to kill them, a deity would rush over and beg for the life of that scourge!"
