The man is a monk in the inside, and he starts by giving his wife a crown.

It was no longer the fear and cowardice of before, but was replaced by a complex light mixed with resentment, cunning and deep fear.

The head of the Gao Liu family succeeded and used his last strength to forcibly take over his son's body.

But this body is far less perfect than Xiu Yuan's. The hidden dangers left by forcibly taking over another body are huge. He can feel the disharmony between the soul and the body.

"Cough cough..." The head of the Takayanagi family, who occupied Koji's body, began to cough violently, with blood flowing from the corners of his mouth.

He looked at Xiu Yuan in horror as the golden light in the courtyard gradually faded, and his strong desire to survive overwhelmed everything.

At the same time, he secretly activated the last resort that had already been prepared.

The ancient barrier formations spread throughout the Gao Liu residence began to be silently activated.

This was his ultimate weapon that he had spent hundreds of years to prepare. It took time to activate and was originally intended to deal with more terrifying enemies.

"Master! Master, please spare my life!" The head of the Gao Liu family, who occupied Guang Er's body, rolled and crawled to his knees on the ground, kowtowed desperately in the direction of Xiu Yuan.

His forehead hit the floor with a dull thud, and soon it became red and swollen, oozing blood.

"I have been blind and ignorant, and have offended the Master! Master, please have mercy on me and spare my life!"

His voice was trembling and tearful, and his attitude was extremely humble.

"As long as Master is willing to let me go, everything in the Gao Liu family will be yours!"

"My wife Chengjiang, my daughter-in-law Mitsuko, and my daughter Xun, they can all serve you!"

"I will dedicate all the hundreds of years of wealth of the Gao Liu family to the master!"

"I can even build a magnificent temple just for you and offer incense to you for generations to come!"

He kowtowed and made incoherent promises, using everything he could give up as bargaining chips.

Madam Chengjiang stood aside, watching her former husband, whose soul now occupied her son's body, begging for mercy so humbly and cowardly.

There was no mercy in her heart, only deep disgust and contempt.

Compared with Master Xiuyuan, who was covered in golden light and as majestic as a god, the head of the Gao Liu family was like a stink bug in the gutter.

The mark of Acala on her back felt slightly warm, and an unprecedented admiration and attachment surged in her heart.

She even secretly hoped that the master could completely destroy this despicable soul.

Mitsuko and Kaoru were also watching this scene in shock, especially Kaoru, whose stomach churned as she watched her "brother" do such an unbearable thing with her face.

Xiuyuan looked quietly at "Gao Liu Guang Er" who was kowtowing on the ground like pounding garlic, his eyes calm.

Just when the head of the Gao Liu family thought that his humility could buy him a glimmer of hope, he felt that the barrier of the mansion was finally fully activated.

Countless runes scattered across the courtyard, walls, and foundations instantly lit up, interweaving into a blood-red web of light that covered the entire mansion.

A huge and cold force suddenly descended, and the air seemed to solidify.

“Hahahaha——!” “Takayanagi Mitsuji” suddenly stopped kowtowing, raised his face covered in blood and tears, and laughed crazily.

The humility on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by extreme resentment and arrogance.

"Stupid monk! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

"This is the barrier I spent three hundred years setting up!"

"Once the barrier is activated, all living beings within it will be drained of their essence, blood, and souls, and reduced to nothingness!"

"Even if you are the reincarnation of Buddha, you will never get out alive!"

"You will all be buried with me! Hahahaha!"

The huge contrast between his attitudes before and after makes "Koji Takayanagi" look like a clown, pathetic and ridiculous.

The blood-colored light net shrank, emitting a suffocating breath of destruction.

Chengjiang, Mitsuko and Xun all felt a strong sense of crisis and involuntarily moved closer to Xiuyuan.

Faced with this terrifying barrier that was powerful enough to kill ordinary powerful demons, Xiu Yuan's expression remained unchanged, terrifyingly calm.

"Hahahaha! Stupid monk! You're finished!" The head of the Takayanagi family, who occupied Mitsuru's body, laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes, his face a mixture of blood and madness.

He pointed at Chengjiang again: "And you, you bitch! The fate of betraying me is to turn into ashes with him! I want you dead! Die!"

His laughter was sharp and piercing, echoing in the blood-red light net.

However, facing this terrifying barrier that was enough to scare away the soul of an ordinary big demon, there was not even a ripple on Xiu Yuan's face.

He was even too lazy to take a second look at the dancing "Koji Takayanagi" on the ground, as if it was just a noisy insect.

Under the horrified gazes of Chengjiang, Mitsuko and Xun, the golden Buddha light around Xiuyuan suddenly became brighter.

His body, in this Buddha's light, began to undergo incredible changes.

It’s not a magic illusion, but real growth!

The bones made a low, dense crackling sound, like mountains rising from the ground.

His muscles bulged and tore his monk's robe into pieces.

In the blink of an eye, Xiu Yuan had transformed into a golden giant several meters tall, his head almost touching the blood-colored light net above the courtyard.

He lowered his head, and his golden eyes looked down at "Takayanagi Koji" who was like an ant under his feet. His eyes were as indifferent as if he was looking at dust.

"Boundary?" Xiu Yuan's voice was like a resounding bell, shaking the entire Gao Liu Mansion. "In the face of absolute power, it's nothing more than a naughty boy's tricks."

Before he finished speaking, he raised his right arm that had turned into a giant pillar, clenched his five fingers into a fist, and simply and without any frills, punched out at the shrinking blood-colored light net above his head!

"boom--!!!"

An indescribable loud noise exploded!

The moment the golden fist collided with the blood-colored light net, there was no stalemate or confrontation.

The barrier that had cost the Gao Liu family three hundred years of hard work and was said to be able to kill all living things was like a thin layer of window paper, which was pierced, torn, and shattered in an instant!

The blood-red light that covered the entire mansion disappeared without a trace in an instant, like smoke blown away by a strong wind.

The countless runes that made up the barrier exploded in the air, turning into specks of scarlet light and then disappearing.

The courtyard returned to its tranquility under the moonlight, as if the barrier had never existed.

"No... Impossible!" The wild laughter on "Takayanagi Mitsuji"'s face froze, replaced by extreme fear and disbelief.

The final trump card he had painstakingly prepared was destroyed so easily with a single punch? What kind of monster was this monk?!

The strong desire to survive once again occupied his mind. He didn't even care about maintaining the stability of the body he had taken over. He turned around and wanted to escape.

The obese body burst out with a speed that was inconsistent with its size, and rolled and crawled towards the exit of the courtyard.

Xiu Yuan's huge golden body didn't even move.

He simply raised his foot and gently put it down as if he was stepping on an ant that had accidentally crawled to his feet.

"Pfft!"

A dull sound that made one's teeth ache.

The arrogant "Takayanagi Mitsuji" who had just been so arrogant didn't even have time to scream before he was trampled into the ground by the giant foot, turning into a pool of blurry meat paste, mixed with soil and gravel, which could no longer be distinguished from each other.

Only a faint, almost inaudible, venomous thought lingered in the air: "I... I won't die... I will come back..."

"Noisy."

Xiuyuan's enormous figure slowly shrank back to its original form. His monk's robe had been draped over him again, spotless. He didn't even glance at the puddle of filth on the ground. He simply clasped his hands together and chanted the Six-Syllable Great Bright Mantra.

"Om Mani Padme Hum!"

As the solemn mantra sounded, the true image of Acala appeared behind him again. The majestic image stretched out a finger and pointed at the pool of flesh on the ground.

A cluster of golden Buddha flame ignited out of thin air and fell on the meat paste.

The flames seemed peaceful, but they contained the terrifying power to burn everything.

Without any struggle or vision, the last remaining resentment of the head of the Gao Liu family, along with his body that was trampled into a meat pie, quickly turned into green smoke in the Buddha's flame and completely dissipated between heaven and earth, without leaving even a trace.

In the courtyard, only the faint scent of sandalwood remained, along with the complex and shocked gazes of Chengjiang, Mitsuko, and Xun.

Chapter 58: Kill your entire family, take your wife and daughter, and seize your property!

Takayanagi Corporation Headquarters, President's Office.

Ichiro Takayanagi sat in the spacious leather seat, his fingertips sliding across the cold financial statements on the tablet screen.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window was the dazzling night view of a bustling city, but all he could see were the constantly jumping numbers.

He knew that his wife Mitsuko and the monk Shuen who suddenly appeared were having an affair.

But he doesn't care.

Mitsuko was just a tool for marriage, an embellishment to maintain his image as a "model husband".

As long as it doesn't affect his eventual takeover of the entire Takayanagi Company, who she is with and what she does is none of his business.

How much longer could his frail body hold out? He waited patiently, like a dormant cheetah waiting for the perfect moment to pounce.

Thinking of his father, Ichiro sneered.

That old fellow, even though he was dying of illness, still clung to power.

However, it's soon.

At this moment, Ichiro felt a very slight tingling on the skin at the back of his neck, as if a strand of hair was brushing against it.

He didn't care, scratched it with his hand, and turned his attention back to the report.

However, the itching sensation did not disappear, but gradually became clearer, as if something was sticking to the skin on the back of his head.

An indescribable feeling of coldness quietly spread.

He didn't notice that under the back of his scalp, a blurry, distorted face of an old man, as thin as paper, was silently emerging.

That was the face of the head of the Gao Liu family, but it was full of resentment and extreme weakness.

This remnant soul was his last means of survival. He had split it long ago and parasitized it on his eldest son, waiting for the opportunity.

"Xiuyuan...damn monk..." The remnant soul uttered a silent curse, its consciousness intermittent.

He forcibly took over Guang Er's body and was severely injured by the power of Buddha. Now this remnant soul is extremely weak and can only barely cling to Ichiro, like a candle in the wind.

He needs time and needs to slowly absorb Ichiro's vitality before he can recover and complete the final possession.

As long as he survives, he still has a chance!

Wait until he takes over this young and strong body, takes control of the Gao Liu family again, and then plans revenge!

The remnant soul greedily sensed the vigorous vitality in Ichiro's body, and a hint of morbid expectation appeared on his face.

Suddenly, just as the remnant soul of the Gao Liu family head was concentrating its thoughts and preparing to begin the slow parasitic fusion, a tiny flame emitting pure golden light suddenly ignited out of thin air between the eyebrows of his illusory face without any warning.

Buddha flame!

It was the Buddha flame on Xiuyuan Fudo Mingwang's Dharma image! This flame followed his last breath, crossing space with unerring precision.

“No——!!!” The residual soul of the head of the Gao Liu family roared with despair and fear, but this roar could not even be transmitted out of the body.

The golden Buddha flame may seem weak, but it contains the absolute power to burn all evil spirits.

The moment it appeared, it ignited the remaining soul of the head of the Gao Liu family.

The resentful old face quickly twisted and melted in the silent golden flames, without even a trace of struggle.

What’s even more terrifying is that the Buddha’s flame did not go out.

It was like a maggot in the tarsal bone, following the weak connection between the residual soul and the host, and instantly spread to Takayanagi Ichiro's entire head and even his entire body.

"Huh?" Takayanagi Ichiro was concentrating on the report when he suddenly felt an indescribable burning sensation coming from the back of his head and instantly sweeping through his whole body.

The expression on his face froze, and a trace of confusion and pain flashed in his eyes. He didn't even have time to let out a complete scream.

The golden Buddha flame burned silently in his body, purifying his soul and body along with the remaining soul of the head of the Gao Liu family.

The next second, Takayanagi Ichiro maintained his previous sitting posture, his body suddenly stiffened, and then he collapsed limply on the seat.

His eyes were wide open, having lost all their luster, and his skin quickly turned black and dry, like rotten wood burned by fire.

Outside the office, the secretary was about to knock on the door to report tomorrow's schedule.

Suddenly, she heard a short and strange sound coming from the office, followed by dead silence.

"President?" She called out tentatively, but received no response.
