The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

You will shine, and so will I!

We must have been family in our past lives!

……

"She's already trying to curry favor with Jingming so quickly, look at how pathetic she is!"

Wenren Yi, standing to the side, made sarcastic remarks, which surprised him.

"The effects of that damned pill have finally worn off!"

He let out a long sigh of relief. No one but himself could know how much pain he had just been in!

Heavenly Sword Sect disciple: "Young Sect Master, were you suffering from some kind of illness just now?"

Wenren Yi gritted his teeth and slapped the disciple who was talking nonsense across the face.

His eyes darkened: "If you can't speak properly, then shut up. Who gave you permission to talk to me like that? If this happens again, you can get out of our group."

"Can't you see I was just tricked by Chi Miao's pills? Not a single one of you came to my aid, you bunch of useless trash!"

In an instant, the four Heavenly Sword Sect disciples broke out in a cold sweat, lowering their heads in fear.

"It's...it's our stupidity!!"

Wenrenyi snorted coldly, then looked in the direction of Chi Miao and Jingming.

His eyes darkened.

"Soon, we'll see some laughs."

"You all better open your eyes wide and watch carefully!"

He spoke very loudly, and the other sects around him could hear him clearly.

Everyone thought that Jingming, a born Buddhist disciple, was an easy-going and sycophantic person.

But he did know that Jingming was the most difficult of all the known prodigies to win over.

He seemed like a true Buddha, outwardly benevolent, but in reality... he merely sat on a divine throne, looking down upon all living beings.

Jingming does not get close to anyone.

Heavenly Sword Sect disciple: "Young Sect Master, how do you know so much?"

Wenren Yi's fingers trembled, and he raised his hand to slap him: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Didn't anyone teach you that?!"

He would never mention that back then he was so eager to curry favor with this Buddhist monk, trying every means to send him gifts, only to have the monk cleverly accept the gifts and give him countless cold shoulders!

The worst part is that he actually thought he'd have a chance to put his arm around someone's shoulder!

Just wait, Chi Miao, we'll see you make a fool of yourself and put on a good show for everyone.

Wenren Yi, however, did not see this at this moment.

Jingming's ears twitched slightly.

……

All eyes were on the two of them.

The light emanating from Jingming was subtle and unassuming.

Chi Miao stared intently at Jingming with bright eyes.

then.

She slowly began to glow.

Everyone: "Huh???"

No, this development was something they hadn't expected!

How come you also have Buddha's light?!

Chi Miao smiled, revealing her teeth. Her radiance was slightly stronger than Jingming's. She extended her hand: "So you're Senior Brother Jingming! I've heard so much about you!"

Those around him hadn't noticed anything yet, but Jingming had sensed the difference.

The light emanating from her wasn't Buddha's light... it seemed to possess a special power?

His knees... seemed to have a strange, uncontrollable feeling?

However, I don't feel much of a problem right now; nothing is likely to happen.

Jingming smiled and shook hands with him: "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Only the disciples of Nine Swords Mountain turned pale on the spot.

Ying Wuhuo said, "Let's go!"

Immediately, all the disciples of Nine Swords Mountain fled the scene as if they were being chased by a ferocious beast.

It left everyone else completely bewildered.

"What's going on at Nine Swords Mountain?"

"I don't know."

"Is there any danger? This is the Golden Buddha Temple; there is no safest place here."

Wenren Yi crossed his arms and shouted, "I think the people of Nine Swords Mountain are a bunch of demons and monsters, afraid of being purified by Jingming's Buddhist light. A bunch of cowards!"

A disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect asked, "But... Chi Miao also seems to have a Buddhist aura about him?"

Wenren Yi laughed and waved his hand: "How could that be? Do you think Buddha's light is everywhere?"

That is, at this time.

They suddenly sensed that the light emanating from Chi Miao had intensified.

Then the Buddha light emanating from Jingming's body also intensified.

Chi Miaojia said to Da Guang: "I've heard so much about you."

Jingming's light overwhelmed Chi Miao: "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"I've heard so much about you."

"Nice to meet you."

The two were locked in a fierce struggle, chasing each other without giving an inch.

The light grew stronger and stronger.

At this moment, Yu Wuxin had already taken out snacks, ready to watch the fun unfold: "No, the two of them are actually having a competition."

Rong Xuanji's bewitching eyes narrowed. "Something's not right... the light around Chi Miao isn't Buddhist light."

The Buddha's light was the nemesis of her Heavenly Fox Enchanting Eyes, but she felt no resistance to the Buddha's light on Chi Miao; on the contrary, she felt...warmth.

Yu Wuxin: "If it's not Buddha's light, then what is it? I wonder whose light is brighter."

The others started gambling.

"I bet on Jingming!"

"I'm betting on Jingming too!"

At that moment, a faint voice came from behind: "I bet on Chi Miao."

The sudden appearance of someone siding with Chi Miao caught everyone off guard, and they all looked in the direction of the voice.

one look.

The people of Nine Swords Mountain hid behind the wall, using two branches with leaves to cover themselves.

Those words were spoken by Kim Sung-fei.

"What kind of look is that?"

Jin Shengfei: "There's no time to explain. You guys don't seem like bad people. Don't blame me for not warning you, just hide. You'll thank us later."

After saying that, he "dives" and hides completely under the wall.

Others: "Huh??"

Is Nine Swords Mountain really that abstract now?

It's just Buddha's light, what's so dangerous about it?

……

The two light sources are still gradually competing to see who can be brighter.

Jingming seemed to have stopped pretending and wanted to test Chi Miao's true intentions.

Jingming truly lived up to her reputation as the greatest genius of her time, a born Buddha. The sudden burst of light almost blinded her.

OK OK.

Is this how you play it?

If you don't practice martial ethics first, don't blame her for being impolite.

Chi Miao still politely replied, "I apologize for the inconvenience."

A clear and bright mind, yet utterly bewildered.

Offended? What did you do?

In an instant, golden light shone brightly from Chi Miao's body, and she suddenly became divine in the center of the golden light.

Her light was indeed not as strong as Jingming's.

But in that instant, everyone's expression changed.

Under the golden light of merit, with Chi Miao's current strength at the Foundation Establishment stage, anyone below the Nascent Soul stage will surely be affected!

They began to feel their knees becoming uncontrollable!

Jingming's eyes widened suddenly, revealing his Golden Core stage cultivation without any concealment. He stood up straight with all his might, and the stone beneath him shattered instantly.

As for the others, by the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late!

thump--!

The sound of knees hitting the ground in unison.

Everyone present, except for Jingming, knelt down before Chi Miao.

"???"

"My knees, how did they suddenly kneel down uncontrollably?!"

"What's wrong with Chi Miao? Why do I feel so strongly about her?!"

Wenren Yi: "What is this thing? Why can't I stand up? Holy crap!"

Chi Miao smiled, her voice becoming almost sacred:

"I've heard so much about you."

Hey, let's see how long you can last?

Are you saying I'm not as bright as you, or that I'm not as flamboyant as you?!

Jingming couldn't hold back any longer. His mind raced through all the knowledge he had gathered, and he finally figured out what was going on with the golden light on Chi Miao's body.

And it was in that very instant.

"thump--!"

The towering figure ultimately succumbed.

Jingming opened his eyes, staring at Chi Miao with a rare interest in his gaze.

When the Buddha's light faded, all that could be seen was Chi Miao, whose shadow remained in the light, and who seemed to be curling the corners of his mouth.

That's the posture of a victor.

Jingming smiled faintly, murmuring four words:

"Golden light of merit".

Chi Miao.

How interesting!
