"you?"
The soul-reaping messenger's gaze fell upon the abbot of Hanshan Temple, chilling him to the bone.
The abbot of Hanshan Temple had an icy gaze. He raised his prayer beads and threw them out, shouting, "Break!"
With a loud shout, the prayer beads immediately scattered, transforming into individual beads that flew towards the Soul Reaper. Each bead contained supreme golden light and carried boundless power, like small meteorites.
As a member of the Buddhist community, the abbot of Hanshan Temple already possessed supreme Buddhist intentions, giving him a natural and enormous advantage in the face of evil spirits.
This seemingly simple Buddhist bead attack contains extremely strong power, which even some evil spirits with a hundred years of cultivation cannot withstand.
Let alone being hit hard, just being suppressed by that aura would probably kill you on the spot.
Facing the whistling Buddhist beads hurtling towards him, the Soul Reaper's gaze turned cold. "Those who stand in my way shall die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the giant scythe in his hand whistled and slashed down, the blade carrying a chilling aura, fiercely striking the Buddhist beads.
Faced with the overwhelming Buddhist aura, the giant scythe was naturally restrained, but it seemed to be unaffected at all. The blade swept past with a booming yin energy, instantly causing the Buddhist beads to scatter.
Even the overwhelming Buddhist aura seemed to be suddenly dispelled by the dense Yin energy, instantly turning into nothingness.
Upon seeing this, the abbot of Hanshan Temple's expression tightened, and his brows furrowed immediately. "So strong!"
This soul-reaping messenger comes from the underworld, and is at a natural disadvantage when facing him, yet he can easily repel the Buddhist beads surging with Buddhist intent, demonstrating his immense strength.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the figure of the Soul Reaper suddenly appeared before him.
The speed was so fast that he didn't even see how the guy appeared; it was as if he had appeared out of thin air.
Almost simultaneously, the Soul Reaper raised his giant scythe high and then slashed down fiercely. The blade, carrying an unparalleled aura, roared down and slashed fiercely at the abbot of Hanshan Temple.
His gaze darkened, and he began chanting Buddhist scriptures. Golden light appeared around him, forming a solid Buddhist wall that blocked the falling giant scythe.
The giant scythe struck the Buddha wall, and the two forces created a powerful shockwave. A surging aura roared out, whipping up a strong gale that made everyone's robes flutter.
Seeing this, Kong Jia frowned. "This soul-reaper seems to be different from the previous ones."
He could clearly sense that this Soul Reaper was significantly stronger than the previous one, both in terms of power and aura.
Although the Buddhist wall was protecting him, the abbot of Hanshan Temple could still feel the terrifying pressure from the giant scythe, and his brows immediately furrowed.
Under the pressure of that powerful force, even a slight cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He originally thought he could easily deal with evil spirits, after all, he practiced Buddhism and Taoism and had a natural resistance to evil spirits, but the current situation seems to be beyond his expectations.
Even though he kept chanting Buddhist scriptures and Buddhist light kept surging out from his body, converging towards the Buddhist wall to strengthen its power, cracks still appeared on the Buddhist wall under the suppression of that terrifying power.
As the crack gradually spread into a spider web, it finally shattered under the terrifying pressure of the giant scythe.
The giant scythe then came crashing down, heading straight for the abbot of Hanshan Temple's face.
"Boom!"
The giant scythe slammed into the ground, and the powerful impact caused the earth to tremble slightly, instantly sending up clouds of dust.
After a while, the dust slowly settled away.
The abbot of Hanshan Temple landed in the distance; the area where he had just been was now a giant crater.
He stared at the giant pit with a look of horror, unable to imagine the terrifying consequences if that slash had landed on him.
If he hadn't reacted quickly enough to dodge the giant scythe just before it fell, he would probably be lying on the ground by now.
He looked at the Soul Reaper, his gaze intense, "It seems I can't hold back any more tricks!"
After speaking, his gaze turned cold, he clasped his hands together, and began chanting Buddhist scriptures. A huge golden phantom appeared behind him, which was none other than his strongest Buddhist technique, the Arhat Golden Body!
His gaze fell on the Soul Reaper, and he coldly snorted, "Die!"
As soon as the words fell, the enormous Buddha statue waved its hand and smashed it straight at the soul-reaper. The Buddha's palm flashed with rich golden light, and supreme Buddhist intent surged as it smashed straight at the soul-reaper.
The power of this strike was far beyond what the prayer beads could have achieved.
However, facing the whistling Buddha's hand, the Soul Reaper did not flinch at all. He stood still, gripping his giant scythe, staring intently at the Buddha's hand as it fell.
Seeing this, Kong Jia frowned. "This guy, is he planning a head-on confrontation?"
Putting aside the terrifying pressure contained in the Buddha's Hand, even a powerful cultivator would likely perish on the spot with a single strike.
This soul-reaping messenger is facing a secret Buddhist technique, and is naturally restrained by it, yet it doesn't avoid it, which is truly baffling.
The giant hand, imbued with boundless power, roared down like a mountain pressing down on the Soul Reaper. As the giant hand was within reach, the Soul Reaper raised his giant scythe and slashed fiercely. Instantly, billowing Yin energy roared up, blotting out the sky like an endless ocean, pressing down on the mountain.
The two forces collided instantly, and the surging Yin energy shattered the Buddha's hand with unstoppable force.
Then the Soul Reaper leaped up and swung his giant scythe once more, the terrifying Yin energy instantly shattering the Buddha's body.
The golden body of the Arhat was shattered almost instantly.
Even the abbot of Hanshan Temple was forced back by that force, his body blasted backward, staggered a few steps and fell to the ground, then spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly suffering from severe internal injuries.
He looked up at the green mountains and exclaimed, "This guy's cultivation is definitely more than just a few hundred years!"
