Headless Immortal

Chapter 106 The Eight Kings Fall, the Living Buddha Descends

"Kill it!"

No matter how powerful you are, you'll die if you get rid of a few holes and bleed to death.

The local militia and demon soldiers who once chased away extraordinary people and strange individuals can now hunt down powerful monsters.

Just as Master Chen Jing was about to unfurl the scroll to summon the rampaging demons, he frowned, thinking to himself, "Soaring into the air like this is tantamount to courting death." However, his movements paused slightly. He had already seen that this Peach Blossom Living Buddha was outwardly a Buddha but inwardly a demon, his nature unchanged. As a member of the Lushan Sect, slaying demons and upholding justice was his mission.

He shouted, "Raise an army!"

Grabbing the boy's words, Cheng Yan quickly put the child down, took down the longbow, and drew it to its full extent.

It looked like Lu Xun was about to fall into the thicket of spears.

All through.

Three water pythons burst forth from the crowd, creating waves that broke through the encirclement and converged into a water dragon. The dragon coiled around and lifted Lu Xun up, roaring and whipping its tail. The Peach Blossom Village warriors who were still trying to squeeze into the circle were immediately forced back by the water dragon. The closest few people and a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals were like broken saplings, flying out and their fates unknown.

A rough, heavy black iron weapon came crashing down, and Ayuki gripped the broadsword tightly in his fat hand.

Sturgeon thrust his spear straight in.

Cheng Yan, who had been holding the bowstring taut, released it, and with a whoosh, the arrow flashed with a cold light and flew towards the Sturgeon Warrior.

Clang! A crossbow bolt collided with an iron arrow. Turning around, I saw it was the otter scout.

The scout drew his short dagger and charged straight at the martial arts master in tight-fitting clothes who was secretly firing arrows from the roof. Cheng Yan was not afraid at all and stepped forward with his sword to relieve the pressure on Uncle Cat.

"kill!"

The roar was like an exploding flame burning fiercely.

The brave soldiers of Peach Blossom Village and the demon soldiers formed an impregnable wall.

As Lu Xun drank the crow's blood, multiple blood vessels appeared in his golden eyes. He felt his own power surging, and the water dragon under his feet seemed to become his tail.

If he continues to exhaust himself like this, even if he manages to reach the Living Buddha of Peach Blossom Spring, he will surely be exhausted, and how will he then be able to kill the Eighth King?

"Fellow Daoist, there is no need to worry. Just forge ahead bravely."

A deep, clear voice resounded.

Lu Xun glanced at her with his demonic eyes.

Just then, they saw Master Chen Jing, carrying a small banner and command flag, holding a demonic knife, and shaking a bell in his left hand, stepping into the battlefield with the Heavenly Gang Step. Twelve rampaging ghost generals formed a shuttle, soaring through the clouds like spears and piercing into the iron wall.

The rampaging ghosts and demon soldiers fought fiercely, with severed limbs flying everywhere. Screams and blood mingled together, and in just a few breaths, an opening was torn open for Lu Xun.

Before Lu Xun could even express his gratitude, the water dragon beneath his feet suddenly dissipated and turned into mist.

Lu Xun used both hands and feet to rush forward and ride the mist, instantly passing the village militia and demon soldiers, and was no more than ten feet away from the Peach Blossom Living Buddha.

Sturgeon tried to turn around, but a thin, strong, dark-skinned figure blocked his way. Li Song laughed and said, "You can't go past."

"Amitabha."

Master Jueming stopped the departing Nyu Lishi. He did indeed believe that the Living Buddha of Taoyuan had great potential, but things had escalated to this point, and it was no longer as simple as just determining right and wrong. Allowing the Eighth King to do as he pleased might also implicate the temple. When one is out in public, one also represents the power behind them, and he could not stand idly by and let the people criticize Donglin Temple behind its back.

"Goo."

"Where to go?"

Yang Shen landed, pressed the short sword at his waist, and stared intently at the Thunder Frog leader.

"Senior brother."

Seeing the monk go to stop the catfish warrior, Ma Ye made a hand seal, and his righteous energy surged: "A little bit of righteous energy, a thousand miles of exhilarating wind!"

A dark light instantly enveloped Lu Xun, who was standing still. Ma Ye's eyes rolled back and he fainted. He had already given his full power of righteous energy to Senior Brother Yuan.

Whether he won or lost this battle, he could only go with the flow. His limp body was supported by Lao Cheng, who carried him up to the restaurant and pinned him down before returning with his knife.

【Riding the Wind (Blessed by the Confucian Scholar's Magical Power)】

Before Lu Xun could get a good look, his cheeks suddenly puffed out.

Collapse of mountains.

Water bullets burst forth.

The Living Buddha of Peach Blossom Spring raised his thick arm to block, but the water bullet struck his arm with a 'thud,' tearing it open and drawing blood. His eyelids creased into wrinkles, and a look of surprise flashed in his dark gold eyes. He was startled: 'He's gotten stronger again.'

When he last encountered the ape monster in Peach Blossom Village, he sensed that the monster was far stronger than when they first fought. Now, the ape monster's water manipulation skills had improved even further. If he, weakened at that time, had tried to block it, he would probably have been seriously injured. But now, things were different. His injuries had fully healed, and he no longer needed to exert himself to control Peach Blossom Village.

Despite his massive size, he ran at a remarkable pace, and as the vibrations caused granulation tissue to grow in his arm, the wounds slowly stopped bleeding.

Collapse of mountains.

Lu Xun puffed out his cheeks.

Water bombs are fired again.

Black armor.

The six-sided light formed a circle and enveloped the Living Buddha of Taoyuan.

The water bullets were quite powerful, and the Xuanjia turtle shell cracked open. But that was all. The three water bullets almost tore the Xuanjia turtle shell apart, but unexpectedly, with the blessing of magic power, the Xuanjia turtle shield supported by the Living Buddha was smooth and flat like an unbroken jade artifact, completely unlike the cracked appearance it had just had.

The Living Buddha had already positioned himself above him, looking down at him with murderous intent and hatred in his black and gold eyes.

Cannon Fist.

The fist was as heavy as a cannon, and the terrifyingly large fist, like a stone millstone, tore through the air with a fierce wind.

The Living Buddha of Peach Blossom Spring, relying on his imposing physique, pressed Lu Xun into the shadows of his fists in the darkness.

Lu Xun draped his arm over Lu Xun's shoulder.

"court death!"

Taoyuan Living Buddha's boxing style remains unchanged, straightforward and direct; both of them are masters of hard-hitting, solid martial arts.

He had just realized the ape monster's cultivation had increased, but he hadn't expected it to challenge him head-on. It was incredibly overconfident. He'd show the ape monster that the gap in their cultivation couldn't be bridged in just a few days.

As soon as they clashed, the Living Buddha's copper hammer and iron fist suddenly lost their power. He frowned, wondering why he couldn't feel the impact. Even if the ape-like monster blocked with its arm, there should have been a force of impact.

Then he saw the ape-like monster grab his wrist and climb up his shoulder.

Lu Xun grabbed Taoyuan Living Buddha's arms with both arms, and used his two long legs to trap the Living Buddha's neck in a scissor-like shape, twisting his body to try to break the arm.

Hard!

At this moment, the Living Buddha of Peach Blossom Spring's arm was completely covered by a jade-like keratinous layer. Even with Lu Xun's extraordinary strength, he was still unable to shake it. Moreover, the Living Buddha seized the opportunity, flipped his hand to grab the Snow-haired Monster, and swung his arm around to smash it towards the ground.

If this blow lands, it will likely result in either death or severe injury.

Head transplant.

The seven-foot-tall monster shrunk to the size of a black cat.

Cat, go!

The black cat leaped out of the giant palm's range, and just as the Living Buddha of Peach Blossom Spring was about to grab it, it once again transformed in mid-air.

The Living Buddha of Taoyuan remained unmoved: "I was already on guard against you."

Sixfold Radiance.

A golden light burst forth from the gem between the eyebrows.

"mirror!"

An old, hoarse woman's voice accompanied a surge of white light.

White and golden light intertwined, reflecting back as the mirror swayed. The Living Buddha of Peach Blossom Spring's eyes went white and then black, realizing something was wrong. He quickly summoned the Mysterious Armor Shield, hardening the entire keratin layer of his body, and retracted most of his body into the tortoise shell behind him, leaving no flaw whatsoever.

"Do it."

Dongsheng and Chunlei, who were on the eaves, each splashed a basin of black blood.

Chi Chi.

It's unclear what was mixed in that black blood, but when poured onto the Xuanjia Shield, it acted like strong sulfuric acid, corroding a large hole in it.

Playing in the water.

Lu Xun summoned a water dragon that rushed straight at the Living Buddha, and six water spears shot out, transforming into a water prison that trapped the Living Buddha of Peach Blossom Spring.

Mountain Collapse! Lu Xun changed his fist into a palm, and a cold light flashed as he headed straight for the shoulder blades of the Peach Garden Living Buddha. These two places were beyond the protection of that turtle shell, and the two water blades plunged straight in.

Just as he was about to expand his gains, the Living Buddha of Peach Blossom Spring opened his eyes: "Peach Blossom Spring!"

In that instant, Lu Xun felt incredibly small, like Sun Wukong falling into the hands of the Buddha.

Only now did he truly understand the power of the 'Buddha Kingdom' magic. This was merely a superficial replica. What would the Buddha Kingdom, truly created by the Buddha himself, be like?
The perilous situation prevented him from thinking further.

Head transplant.

The Azure Scale Monster opened its mouth and let out a sharp shriek, the sound waves materializing and shattering the surrounding mist into water vapor.

boom.

Almost simultaneously, terrifying forces pressed into his body from all directions. Lu Xun felt his flesh and blood howl in agony, his bones scream in agony, blood flowed from his seven orifices, and his vision became a bloody blur.

The monster's body, which could once fight tigers and leopards, was like ashes left in the wind, easily scattered by a breath.

Head transplant.

Wutong Mountain stands tall and majestic.

Collapse of mountains!

Two water blades appeared in his palm, and Lu Xun used his powerful fist technique to stab the water blades into the wound of the Peach Blossom Living Buddha once again.

Cannon Fist.

boom!
The giant hammer slammed into Lu Xun's body, causing his internal organs to vibrate and a surge of blood to rise up. Lu Xun felt a sweet, metallic taste in his throat. The mountain-shattering energy condensed into a blood-red water bullet and shot straight towards the head of the Peach Blossom Living Buddha.

clack.

The giant hand grabbed the water bullet directly. Although it was also torn open, the Peach Blossom Living Buddha was completely unaware. He gripped the giant hand and turned it into a hammer, aiming straight for Lu Xun's head.

Suddenly.

The Living Buddha felt a strong gust of wind coming towards him, and changed his punch into a palm to block in front of him. Through the gaps between his fingers, the thick fog was torn apart by the cold sunlight and shone on his face.

His dark, golden eyes narrowed. No, what came wasn't the warm sunlight at all, but the cold, murderous light of a sword.

The swordsman, who had been hiding and waiting for his chance, finally made his move.

Rapier!

Dragons leap and tigers bound, all through snake gates; they advance straight ahead, unstoppable.

This is the sword of assassination, and also the sword of the assassin.

Without any frills or the slightest hint of sword energy, it was as simple as ordinary sunlight, yet it easily pierced through the raised palm of the Peach Blossom Living Buddha and penetrated his neck.

The swordsman, Zeng Tie, gripped his sword tightly, sensing the passing of the Living Buddha's life.

Once he completely pierces the neck, the Living Buddha of Taoyuan will never live again, and the deep hatred will be avenged.

However, no matter how hard he tried, the sword tip trembled and groaned, and it never advanced another inch or two. His desperate attack failed, and what he received was the iron fist formed by the other giant hand of the Living Buddha of Peach Blossom Spring.

puff.

Blood flowed like a curtain being drawn back, and the iron fist suddenly changed its move, smashing down on Wutong Luxun.

The swordsman's face was deathly pale, his back was hunched over like that of a hunchbacked old man, his clothes were torn, and his muscles, bones and flesh were a jumbled mess.

He twisted his body and blocked the heavy punch, pushing Lu Xun away.

"Get out of the way!"

boom.

The swordsman's head exploded like a watermelon.

The fiery red and white splattered on Lu Xun's face, and his cheek was even cut open by the blasted teeth, from which blood gushed out.

Lu Xun was no stranger to death; he himself had killed quite a few people.

The environment really does change people. In the modern world, he never harmed anyone, but in the strange ancient world, he repeatedly killed monsters, river pirates, bandits...

However, this was the first time he had ever seen someone die right before his eyes, especially since this person had just saved him and taken a fatal blow for him.

Lu Xun's eyes widened, and his eyes reddened. If this wasn't a friend, then what was?

"what!"

Lu Xun was furious, his hair stood on end, and he roared, summoning the water. A water dragon lifted him high into the air, and after several somersaults, he gathered all his strength. In mid-air, he spun around and kicked the longsword that had pierced through the palm of the Peach Blossom Living Buddha and was now embedded in his neck. The power to shatter mountains erupted, and with a soft thud, the longsword pierced right through him.

The rough, hairy hand grabbed the sword hilt nailed to the giant hand, and the water, mixed with the cold light, swirled together with the longsword.

bass!
The two strange things happened to be apart.

The Living Buddha of Taoyuan touched his neck with his mutilated hand. Before he could even touch it, a ring of blood appeared, followed by blood beads that looked like agate.

The Living Buddha's mouth opened slightly, and before he could speak, bright red blood gushed out. He staggered back to the dilapidated lotus platform of the shrine and sat down again.

Looking at the surging crowd and the predatory gazes of those surrounding him, the Living Buddha gave a bitter smile.

He studied Buddhism his whole life but never became a Buddha.

He murmured softly, "Since I am a turtle in the Xunyang River, why should I try to come ashore like others?"

As he spoke, he opened his arms and looked up at the sky: "I ate you when I was alive, and you will eat me when I die..."

"bring it on!"

As the world spun around him, his head rolled off, and his still-closed black-gold eyes saw a body as bloated as a small mountain.

Without its head, the body quickly hardened, bones turned into jade, muscles into gems, blood dripped and splattered into pearls and agates, and the enormous tortoise shell became a colorful canopy.

Suddenly, a small treasure mountain came into view.
"Grab it!"

The crowd, which had been influenced by his telepathy, suddenly broke through the dam and surged towards the small hill in the long street square.

The officials in the teahouse on the second floor could no longer sit still. Lord Lü ordered the county constable to quickly suppress the riot. Hundreds of well-equipped soldiers, wearing heavy armor and carrying spears, formed a shield wall.

Government officials all came out to help, but how could they stop the common people who wanted to make a fortune? In the midst of the commotion, screams could be heard.

Lu Xun didn't care about anything else. He opened his palm, and a wisp of water mist caught the leader of the Peach Blossom Buddha in his hand. With a flick of his sleeve, the leader disappeared.

A black robe wrapped around a half-corpse, flowing against the surging crowd towards the outer edge. Water mist, like ropes, dragged the shroud forward until it reached Cheng Yan's side.

Cheng Yan offered up the otter scout's head.

Lu Xun accepted it without hesitation.

"Brother!"

Yang Shen handed the head of the Thunder Frog leader to Lu Xun, who accepted it without hesitation.

Sturgeon Warrior and Catfish Warrior also fled. However, many shrimp soldiers and crab generals saw that the situation was not good and jumped into the ditch. When the tree fell, the monkeys scattered, leaving only five or six corpses lying haphazardly. Lu Xun cut off their heads one by one and obtained five usable shrimp and crab monster heads, which was a large sum of money.

With the extraordinary individuals freed up, the government authorities had also quelled the chaos.

The common people are no match for the government, not to mention that the government had been preparing for this moment for a long time.

However, to Master Lü's regret, the two monsters did not suffer mutual destruction. The red-faced ape still seemed to have some strength left. Lü Qian, who originally planned to kill both monsters, could only accept this outcome.

Li Song, spear in hand, stared intently at the enclosed hill, then looked at the red-faced Yu Rong monster and asked, "How should this treasure mountain be divided?"

The wrinkles on Granny Zheng's face deepened with her smile: "Of course, it's according to what we agreed on."

Qian Xiong hurried over, smiling as he greeted him, "The master has already prepared a celebration banquet at the government office. Please come in quickly."

Everyone looked at Wu Tonglu Xun.

Lu Xun waved his hand: "You guys go ahead, I'm tired."

Now that he had achieved his goal, there was no need for pretense anymore. He knew that the county magistrate disliked him, and he disliked the county magistrate as well. Don't think he didn't know what Lü Qian was up to. If it weren't for his lack of bloodlust, he would have turned around and twisted Lü Qian's head off after killing the Living Buddha of Taoyuan.

Seeing the expression in those golden, demonic eyes, Qian Xiong opened his mouth to advise, but didn't say anything.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone left.

As Lu Xun headed towards the mass grave, he counted the reasons for his return to the strange ancient world.

Study, practice martial arts, and earn money.

Now it's time to fully strengthen Wutong Mountain Lord.
