Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

Zhao Hao watched him finish gesturing and sneered, "What is this? Is this all you've got? Are you trying to put on a monkey show for your grandpa?"

Damn it!

Xianru originally thought that this demonstration of Dharma would frighten the enemy, or at the very least make them feel like they were facing a formidable foe. Who knew that the enemy would treat him like a monkey!

"Go to hell and repent!"

It was as if he reached out from thin air and pulled out a golden spear that was three meters long and as thick as a wrist.

This gun has a strange shape. The spearhead is octagonal and as big as a human head. The body of the gun is covered with patterns, all depicting scenes of birth, aging, sickness, and death. The spear tail has a unique shape, resembling a Vajra in Tantric Buddhism. It is entirely golden and has strong spiritual energy fluctuations. It is actually a bronze-level extraordinary item.

When Xianru was alive, it was the strongest period for the Pure Land True Sect. Both its strength and wealth were considerable, so it's not surprising that it possessed a bronze artifact.

The Jodo Shinshu sect was founded by Shinran Honganji, a monk from Mount Hiei, who was influenced by the Jodo sects of China and Japan. It's certain that he was influenced by Shingon Buddhism, as evidenced by his golden spear, which resembles an elongated and magnified vajra.

"Die, you bastard!"

It was as if he was holding a golden spear, with a three-zhang-tall Dharma image behind him, which was a golden demon Buddha.

The demonic Buddha had four eyes and two faces, a malicious smile on its face, and curved fangs protruding from its lips. It wore various prayer beads and Buddhist treasures. Its four hands held various ferocious weapons, and its feet trampled countless beings with severed limbs and broken arms, the ground stained with blood.

What's even more outrageous is that the third leg is incredibly thick!

Is this due to excessive inferiority complex, leading to an involuntary expression of longing in the Dharma image?

However, there was no time to admire the nonchalant attitude at this moment. Na Xianru suddenly jumped up and stomped hard on Zhao Hao.

Those feet seemed to grow to two meters long in mid-air! With each step, the air was pushed aside like Mount Tai pressing down!

Buddha King treads!

Zhao Hao lightly touched the ground with his toes and used his Instant Step to fly backward seven or eight meters.

"Boom!" Debris flew everywhere, and a huge crater was blasted into the ground; the air surged, and a shockwave with a diameter of more than ten meters swept outwards with dust.

As soon as he stomped his foot, the entire hall seemed to shake. Not just seem, it really did shake.

However, it did not damage the main hall; rather, the entire main hall moved in concert with the scene, swaying like a ship rocking on the sea.

This corrupted Honganji Temple is alive, which means Zhao Hao will have to deal with two Bronze Saints at the same time!

Fortunately, neither the temple nor the monk were skilled fighters.

Just from that kick, Zhao Hao could tell that Xianru had lived a life of luxury and ease in his lifetime. Even if he was a superhuman with considerable strength, he probably hadn't fought with anyone much.

Although this attack was impressive and powerful, it was definitely the work of an amateur.

This corrupt temple is virtually unsolvable for anyone below the Bronze level. But for a Bronze-level transcendent being, it's nothing more than a large target.

This thing is a powerful weapon against a large number of enemies of average strength, but it's not very useful against enemies of the same level.

This is probably why Xianru and the temple are together; they complement each other.

"Death!"

As if he had stepped into thin air, he immediately charged forward with his gun. Zhao Hao instantly drew his sword, and a white-scaled serpent emerged, coiling around the beams and pillars to fight against the various strange limbs, tentacles, bone spurs, and giant mouths that appeared in the hall.

That golden spear was incredibly powerful; every swing carried immense force and also dealt area-of-effect damage.

However, in Zhao Hao's view, the power was not small, but the technique was too poor. The White Serpent Demon Blade flew in Zhao Hao's hands, and his feet moved like ghosts in an instant.

In an instant, the two fought three rounds, and Zhao Hao's position changed unpredictably, making him virtually untouchable.

After the two separated and stood in their respective positions, it was unclear when Xianru's monk's robe had been torn, and a large tear had appeared in the armor beneath it. A shallow wound on his ribs was drawing thick blood.

However, for some reason, the bald monk only bled a little bit, as if the blood was thick.

This is a disease that needs to be cured.

Xianru never expected that even with the Golden Jade Body Enhancement, he would still be injured by the other party.

This man is no ordinary swordsman!

Even among bronze-level swordsmen, there are differences. Xianru had seen bronze-level swordsmen in his lifetime. But those swordsmen had all made breakthroughs in their swordsmanship, comprehended some aspect of the sword path, or even founded their own schools.

But this ronin swordsman in front of me is different. He can actually fight against my Buddha King Spear with ease with his demon sword. What kind of superhuman strength is this?

There are indeed swordsmen with superhuman strength; in fact, most swordsmen are quite strong, but they use giant katanas to unleash their raw power.

How could someone with a katana possibly fight against his three-meter-long Buddha King Spear!

What's even more outrageous is that I didn't gain any advantage at all... no, I should say I suffered a loss!

Clearly, the wound under his ribs had not healed; the demonic sword, White Serpent, was not only imbued with a large amount of spiritual energy, but also contained venom.

If Xianru hadn't fallen into demonic possession and hadn't been blessed by various "Buddhist teachings," his spiritual energy would have already begun to dissipate from this single wound.

In an instant, a thought flashed through his mind—he couldn't fight them head-on!

Xianru moved his feet in quick succession, leaping backward several times, widening the distance by more than twenty meters.

With a loud "Duang," the Buddha King Spear in his hand slammed into the stone slab. Black blood splattered from the stone, and then the black blood flowing from the hall spread systematically across the ground.

As soon as the chanting began, the magic circle formed by the black blood started to flicker with a dark red light.

Through this magic circle, Kyou has already connected with the corrupted Honganji Temple, and even with the spiritual disasters within the entire barrier.

He's actually a dual practitioner of magic and martial arts. Or rather, magic is his forte.

Behind Xianru, the demonic Buddha image began to roar and grow, and the entire hall was shrouded in Xianru's spiritual energy, becoming eerily ghostly like a demonic land.

"Other Power's Wish!"

This is the doctrine of the Jodo Shinshu sect. The original meaning is that people cannot rely on their own cultivation to achieve eternal liberation through Nirvana. They need the assistance of external forces, and these external forces are Namo Amitabha Buddha.

However, the Honganji Kennyo, who has now fallen into demonic possession, has clearly deviated from the doctrines of Jodo Shinshu.

When this spell is cast, all the cursed spirits and monsters within the entire area of ​​the spiritual calamity will contribute a portion of their spiritual energy to Xianru, the master of the Demonic Dharma. I will borrow his power to fulfill my original wish.

The entire barrier trembled, startling the group maintaining it outside, who broke out in a cold sweat. At that moment, Erqian and Xianshan Wuren had just arrived outside the barrier and were negotiating with the remaining Onmyoji.

In just a few breaths, Xianru, who had been drawn in by the entire spiritual calamity and given birth to all the cursed spirits and monsters, saw his spiritual energy level leap from Bronze 2-star to Bronze 4-star!

A ferocious, maniacal laugh appeared on Xianru's face, his entire face contorted, unable to maintain its solemnity anymore, and he began to turn into a demon.

"Those fools think they can use me, but little do they know that I am the one using them! How could they possibly use me! Hahahaha~ Today I will devour the entire Heian-kyo and establish a Buddhist kingdom on earth! Hahahaha~"

The surge in psionic energy brought with it a surge in confidence, and at this moment, Xianru was even a little carried away, forgetting that the enemy was still there.

Zhao Hao didn't hold back and immediately unleashed a Hasaki move, sending a sword-blade tornado flying.

The entire bluestone floor of the main hall was instantly ripped away, revealing a dense network of writhing, black veins beneath. Beams and pillars snapped, and blood splattered everywhere. The building was nearly blown away.

Xianru was also caught off guard. Although he managed to withstand the attack thanks to his abundant spiritual energy, the array on the ground, and Buddhist magic, his armor was reduced to rags.

Just as Xianru was enjoying herself, Zhao Hao suddenly ripped off her clothes, making her furious and embarrassed!

"Go to hell!"

As if a palm strike had been launched, a golden beam of light shot toward Zhao Hao.

Lightning crackled and magnetic fields swirled around Zhao Hao's body. His demonic blade, White Serpent, coiled around a whirlwind as he slashed at the golden light without dodging or avoiding it.

The golden light, split in two, dispersed to the left and right, "melting" away a large area of ​​the main hall. All the beams and pillars were gone, leaving it completely exposed to the elements. This decaying main hall of Honganji Temple ultimately couldn't withstand the devastation inflicted by the two.

It was obvious that he was overwhelmed by the massive amount of miasma and spiritual energy, and he even attacked his own people—the corrupted Honganji Temple.

This blow to my teammate brought Xianru to his senses. He realized that the ronin in front of him was indeed difficult to deal with, and he needed to make the most of his strengths.

He clasped his hands together and began chanting.

"The wicked are the righteous!"

This is also the doctrine of the Pure Land School, which originally meant that Namo Amitabha Buddha saves and guides those who have committed grave sins.

However, when it came into the hands of Xianru, it was misread and became "the evil Buddha"!

Within the Dharma image behind Xianru, countless ferocious and vicious demons and villains roared and rushed out, instantly creating a situation of one hundred against one, and more were still pouring out from behind! Tall or short, fat or thin, twisted and sinister, each one full of malice.

These should all be evil people and demons who have been judged by the Jodo Shinshu sect, and now they have become Xianru's followers and henchmen.

These crazed, wicked scourges were utterly fearless, each a level 4 or 5 Black Iron, charging at Zhao Hao like mad bulls. Zhao Hao cleaved them into pieces in groups of four or five, then seven or eight, with a single stroke.

Akira knew this too, but these Black Iron-level thugs were not enough to defeat this ronin. These endless streams of thugs were merely expendable resources.

"The Buddha's light shines!"

A golden ball of psionic energy appeared between his hands.

The psionic orb grew larger and brighter, and then he pushed it into the air.

The psionic cluster that rose into the air shone brightly like a golden sun!

In an instant, the world transformed into a golden realm, with boundless golden spiritual energy arrows raining down and golden pillars of fire erupting wildly from the ground. Those evildoers were melted by the Buddha's light, becoming part of it once more, thus amplifying its power.

At the same time, the corrupt Honganji Temple also launched an attack, and an enormous, fang-filled maw appeared on the ground, swallowing Zhao Hao whole.

Zhao Hao was instantly engulfed by endless light...

Within the protective barrier surrounding Honganji Temple, the fewer than two hundred survivors rescued by the crane and the mouse Shiro stared blankly as the golden rain of destruction rained down from the sky. The aura of destruction had already descended upon them!

This rain of arrows almost completely enveloped the interior of the barrier. The cursed spirits and monsters killed by the Buddha's light arrow rain would feed back into the spiritual calamity, which in turn would feed back into the Buddha's light. This layered cycle of reinforcement is the essence of this move.

This is the danger of Honganji Kennyo; his strength lies in creating large-scale spiritual disasters. He's a "farming" type of player.

At the critical moment, the crane flew in like a rainbow and performed a set of crane fist techniques in the sky. The wind and fire worked together to form a huge barrier in the sky, blocking the golden arrow rain.

The more than one hundred people below immediately knelt down and wept bitterly, while some kept kowtowing and praying.

At this time, the crane was their savior, their god.

In Heian-kyo, the old priest of Ise Grand Shrine has already led other forces to confront the three demonic forces.

Because this side is strong, they directly split into three groups to cause trouble, so as to prevent the divine status from falling into the wrong hands.

Shuten-dōji from Mount Ōe has not yet appeared, but the equally famous Ibaraki-dōji is leading three Kuma-dōji to meet the challenge.

The Moth Group has fewer Bronze-level fighters, but they have the most monsters under their command. Furthermore, their general, the Flying Moth, possesses a very unique method of manipulating spiritual energy, allowing him to utilize the spiritual energy of his subordinates and enhance some of his minions. It's somewhat like a military formation.

The strangest of all is the mysterious force at the end, which uses all sorts of bizarre spiritual puppets as its main fighting force!

At this point, the humans were unaware that the third-party demon force was likely the Nine-Tailed Fox, but they could sense the enemy's strength.

In a house, a stunningly beautiful woman lay on her side on a tatami mat, her nine large, gently swaying tails already extending into the yard.

Holding a glass of wine, she whispered, "Without a heart, there is no hurt."
