Chapter 89 Taking Back the Money (10,000 words daily, please vote!)

Just as Fa Hui was about to make another move, he suddenly felt a chill run through his body, making his hair stand on end. He quickly raised the golden bowl in front of his chest to block it. In that split second, countless golden lights exploded in front of Fa Hui.

boom! boom! boom!

Strands of Buddhist light appeared on the golden bowl, blocking all the incoming golden light.

However, this golden bowl was merely a high-grade magic artifact, and it shattered into pieces in less than a breath.

"magic weapon!"

Fa Hui cried out in surprise, dropped the golden bowl, and quickly retreated. But as he retreated, he felt as if his feet weighed a thousand pounds, and the dim yellow earth energy wrapped around his ankles like iron chains.

Fa Hui's expression hardened, and as his robe billowed, Buddhist light surged forth like a tide. He let out a low roar, and his feet trembled violently, causing the ground to crack and stones to fly everywhere.

The earth beneath his feet instantly crumbled, and Fa Hui moved like lightning, quickly retreating a hundred meters away to dodge the incoming golden light.

Seeing that their first strike had missed.

Cao Xing immediately used the Five Phases Dragon Transformation Technique, drawing on the earth's energy from all directions to transform into an earth dragon. As the dragon claws pushed, the Golden and Silver Hands were also pushed to their limits. The two dragon claws rolled up a three-zhang-high wall on the ground and pushed horizontally towards Fa Hui.

Along the way, mountains collapsed and the earth cracked.

Fa Hui's eyes flashed like lightning, and his sneer was like thunder: "A mere trick, yet you dare to be so presumptuous in front of me."

He struck out with a backhand palm. The palm print was no bigger than a palm-leaf fan, yet it was as solid as a physical object, with the Sanskrit swastika symbol faintly appearing within the Buddhist light.

Cao Xing's methods were exquisite, but they were as fragile as paper in the face of the power of a Buddhist master in the Golden Body of Relic realm.

A loud clang resounded.

The earthen wall shattered into pieces, and the two dragon claws seemed to have collided with an immortal Vajra.

Even with their golden and silver hands, they couldn't budge their opponent in the slightest. Instead, they were crushed by the Buddha's light and blasted to pieces.

Cao Xing's tiger's mouth split open, blood gushing out. His entire right arm was numb and felt like it was about to break. Seeing that he couldn't win, Cao Xing once again raised the [Azure Gold Ruyi] and aimed it at Fa Hui.

Upon seeing this, Fa Hui's expression changed slightly, and his figure, which was about to rush forward, immediately stopped.

[Is the difference that big?]

I thought this kid, with his magic weapon and strange skills, could at least stall for a while, but he's as fragile as paper.

？】

[They're not even in the same league. The matchmaker is so incompetent; she actually got taken advantage of by someone like this?!]

The barrage of comments was like a rainstorm. Everyone who watched this scene through Tianluo was immediately astonished by the stark contrast.

The people who send these comments are usually at the Foundation Establishment stage, or even less than that; they're just there for the fun of it.

The Golden Core experts from various sects were too lazy to explain.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

It wasn't that Cao Xing was too weak, but that his opponent was too strong.

In their eyes, a Foundation Establishment cultivator who could fight against a Golden Core cultivator and even have the power to retaliate was already extremely extraordinary.

As for that red-scaled python, hmph, even a Golden Core demon can't transform into human form. They all suspect that this guy is a fraudulent product who forcibly ascended to that level through some evil technique.

No wonder he was not taken seriously by Fa Hui. Moreover, this monk Fa Hui was not just a golden elixir master; he also possessed the relics of the abbots of Baolin Temple throughout history.

Even those who have just achieved the Golden Core stage are among the best. If a Foundation Establishment cultivator had persisted until now, their own disciples would probably have already jumped out to debate with the scholars.

Seeing that Monk Fahui had stopped, Cao Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, in the world of Journey to the West, magical treasures are still more effective.

Unfortunately, the Azure Gold Ruyi is only a low-grade magic weapon. If it were of a higher grade, I could have killed this donkey with just this treasure.

To be honest, I do have a treasure in my possession.

But that thing was too complicated, and Cao Xing would rather die than reveal it under the watchful eyes of everyone.

This is the Jade Emperor's golden plaque in Kui Mulang's hand.

Back then, Kui Mulang used this item to kill his own willow tree spirit and a group of golden core demons with a single blow.

However, if he were to take this out himself, even without Fa Hui's intervention, the three gods, Xin Tianjun, who were just observing from the sidelines, would probably have to personally get involved.

By then, even suicide won't help.

"Rumble—"

The sky was shrouded in gloom, and silver clouds appeared among the white clouds. However, the silver clouds were sometimes bright and sometimes dim, while the crimson blood light was even more intense, and it even felt as if it was about to devour the silver clouds.

He was a step too late, and that's how he succeeded.

Seeing this, Fa Hui sighed inwardly. Indeed, to break through to the Golden Core stage, luck was paramount; if one's luck was even slightly worse—

He glanced at the cyan-gold ruyi in Cao Xing's hand, hesitated for a moment, and then his eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Since we've let him succeed, then we'll slaughter your fellow disciples first.

"Enough, enough. Fellow Daoist, you are destined to be with Buddha. Please go and take a journey to the Western Paradise. Namo Amitabha!"

Upon hearing Fa Hui's words, Cao Xing immediately sensed something was wrong. He felt as if a pair of eyes had opened and were staring at him, while a large hand was spreading out to envelop him.

In a very short moment, the internal energy within his body began to stagnate.

Fa Hui seized the opportunity, his figure flashed, and he arrived in front of Cao Xing. He raised his Zen staff and smashed it down on Cao Xing's head.

Cao Xing raised the Azure Gold Ruyi, but his internal energy remained stagnant, and he couldn't make a sound.

Finished!

Cao Xing felt as if he had fallen into an abyss.

"Boom!!!" A bolt of lightning cleaved the sky. Fa Hui changed the direction of his staff and blocked it upwards. The lightning exploded on the staff, but it did not budge it in the slightest.

But before the aftershocks of the thunder had dissipated, Wu Peng's shouts rang out.

"Bald monk, prepare to die!"

Almost at the same time as Wu Peng shouted, Lu Hao, Xing Haitao, Li Tong, and Zhang Jue, who were standing next to him, suddenly swung their arms and threw out dozens of Nan Dou Siming Divine Talismans as if they were free, with each of them throwing out ten in one go.

In an instant, these talismans intertwined in the air into an electric net, the blinding light making it impossible for anyone to open their eyes.

Fa Hui frowned slightly, a hint of surprise and annoyance flashing in her eyes. She spat out a curse: "Ant!"

But the person still honestly and quickly dodged backward.

He was a highly skilled cultivator with a golden body of relics, but not a Vajra immune to lightning talismans. One or two talismans would be fine, but this was more than sixty talismans thrown out in one go, all of which were Southern Dipper Life-Giving Talismans that the Upper Temple was good at. Fa Hui was not stupid, so he did not dare to fight head-on.

"Boom! Boom!!!"

Dense thunderclaps exploded directly in mid-air, even more lively than setting off firecrackers during the Lunar New Year.

Even Cao Xing was struck by several bolts. If it weren't for his Crimson Blood True Understanding Profound Technique, anyone else would have been in serious trouble, even if they weren't killed by Fa Hui.

"Beat them! Beat them hard!!"

Wu Peng's face was contorted with rage as he pointed in Fa Hui's direction, throwing out talismans as if they were free.

This scene sent chills down everyone's spines.

Well, are all the disciples of your Shangfang Temple this arrogant? How much did they borrow? Are they starving?

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a beam of Buddhist light flashed through the lightning. Li Tong, who was frantically throwing talismans just a second ago, was struck in the chest by the Buddhist light the next second.

A muffled "bang!"

Li Tong was also sent flying into the air, and everyone could even hear the sound of his bones shattering.

Upon closer inspection, the golden light was none other than the Zen staff in Fa Hui's hand. After striking successfully, it quickly flew back into Fa Hui's palm.

Upon seeing this, Wu Peng felt a chill run down his spine, yelled, "Get out of here!" and turned to run.

Zhang Jue and the other two were still staring blankly at Li Tong's corpse on the ground, not understanding what Wu Peng meant. When they looked up, Wu Peng had already used the Cloud Soaring Talisman and flown far away.

"That bastard!! Run!"

Zhang Jue only came to his senses at this moment, and they all fled for their lives.

But we were still a step too late.

Zhang Jue had already lost an arm, so his ability to activate talismans was slower than Lu Hao's and Xing Haitao's. By the time he activated the Cloud Soaring Talisman, he hadn't even had a chance to ride the clouds.

Then I heard a whooshing sound coming from behind me.

With a whoosh, the golden staff fell to the ground, and Zhang Jue's head shattered like a watermelon hitting the ground, his brains bursting out.

Seeing this scene, Xing Haitao and Lu Hao were already terrified.

"Why should you two benefactors be alarmed? Let this humble monk guide you westward to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, where you can hear the profound teachings of Buddhism and transcend the suffering of reincarnation."

Fa Hui's voice came, and his figure was already in front of the two.

"Spare me! Spare me!!" Xing Haitao screamed, nearly falling off the clouds.

However, before Fa Hui could make a move, a rebuke was heard.

"You've gone too far!" A cold snort echoed through the air, and the temple gate was smashed open by a burst of blazing fire. Chen Xiang walked out of the gate with a dark face.

His aura surged powerfully, indicating that he had already reached the Golden Core Realm. His gaze was fixed on Fa Hui, and his face was terrifyingly gloomy.

At the same time, ten thousand meters away from the Five Plague Temple, Cao Xing emerged from the ground, coughing up blood. His eyes were terrifyingly sinister as he glanced back at the clouds slowly dissipating above the Five Plague Temple.

Did my sister succeed?

Hmph, that bald monk!

Cao Xing spat coldly, and after a moment of mental calculation, a cold glint appeared in his eyes. Instead of turning back to reunite with Bixia, he used Earth Escape again, heading straight for the place where the disciples of Baolin Temple lived.

I can't beat you, you bald monk, but I can beat your underlings.

In the world of Journey to the West, the way to long-term victory is to bully the weak with the strong.

If we're talking about someone who's an expert in this field, none is more skilled than Sun Wukong.

What to do if you're feeling annoyed? Kill a few of his lesser demons to vent your anger.

Look at what that monkey did after it suffered a setback in Lion Camel City. It returned to Lion Camel Ridge, enlarged its golden cudgel, and swept it left and right across Lion Camel Ridge, crushing tens of thousands of demons to dust. Only after venting its anger did it run to the Western Paradise to see Buddha for help.

As a loyal reader of Journey to the West, with Monkey King as his role model, Cao Xing naturally had to follow suit. He had previously borrowed a large account to find out where the Five Plague Temple where these bald monks were hiding was located.

He used a trick on Fa Hui, grabbing her from behind.

At this moment, relying on the Five Dragon Transformation Techniques, he fled at full speed and arrived at the door in no time.

Peeking out, I saw two young monks leaning lazily against the door, each holding a handful of peanuts, eating and chatting.

A murderous intent suddenly rose in Cao Xing's eyes. He vanished into the ground and silently approached the two monks.

"boom!!"

The two young monks were still discussing what vegetarian meal they would have later when, without warning, the ground in front of them suddenly exploded.

It felt like being hit head-on by a colossal mountain.

He didn't even have time to use the protective Buddha light, the Vajra Protection Mantra, or the low-grade magic weapon, the Vajra Pestle, in his hand.

With a sickeningly loud "Pfft!", blood mist, bone fragments, and visceral shards exploded instantly!

The upper bodies of the two monks were smashed to pieces, turning into a gruesome rain of blood and flesh that splattered onto the door frame.

A strong smell of blood filled the air.

A four-zhang-long earthen dragon rose from the ground and charged straight into the gate.

The monks sitting in the courtyard were startled, but before they could speak, the earth dragon stirred up a cloud of sand and gravel, and then Cao Xing raised the Azure Gold Ruyi and unleashed a barrage of golden light at the monks like a torrential rain.

In the teahouse of Qiongshan Xianghui, everyone was shocked to see Cao Xing single-handedly charge into Baolin Temple's ranks. They never expected Cao Xing to be such a ruthless person.

"Bang!" Just as he was in shock, he suddenly heard a crash. Turning around, he saw the shopkeeper fall to the ground, tears streaming down his face. He slapped his thigh and roared, "Fahui, Fahui, why did you go and provoke him?"
