As the saying goes, "If you don't see eye to eye, even half a sentence is too much."
This time, the Buddhist sect, with the help of Crown Prince Zhao Qin's coercion, is preparing to purge all Xuanmen disciples from Bianjing City.
The Xuanmen sect would naturally not leave easily.
Since neither side is willing to compromise, there's no need for verbal sparring...
“Bodhisattva of the Sunlight, what will you do if we are not prepared to leave?” Lü Dongbin sneered, already prepared to take action.
"Well then, I'll have to personally send you all off." Of course, the Bodhisattva of Sunlight wasn't afraid of Lü Dongbin.
"How dare you make such a boast! Today, let this humble Taoist witness the Bodhisattva's divine powers."
Lu Dongbin ordered Lin Lingsu to step aside. With a thought, the sword behind him hummed softly, and in the next instant, a sharp sword aura shot into the sky.
The flying sword also flew out of its sheath, transforming into a streak of cold light as it slashed towards the Bodhisattva of Sunlight.
The Bodhisattva of Sunlight raised his hand and released a beam of great sunlight, which slashed at the flying sword.
The flying sword paused for a moment after being struck by the Buddha's light, then its sword light intensified, shattering the Buddha's light into dust, and it once again slashed towards the Bodhisattva of Sunlight.
"Amitabha!"
The Bodhisattva of Sunlight uttered a Buddhist chant, then immediately took out a golden pellet from his sleeve and threw it at the flying sword.
The golden ball transformed into a streak of golden light and collided violently with the flying sword.
With a clang.
The sword light dissipated, and the golden pellet revealed its true form.
Seeing that his flying sword was blocked, Lü Dongbin had a thought, and the flying sword flew back and went back into its sheath.
At the same time, he pointed his finger, and a bolt of divine thunder from the Supreme Purity exploded above the head of the Bodhisattva of the Sun, followed by countless bolts of lightning that struck down with tremendous force.
The Bodhisattva of Sunlight also retrieved the golden ball, and at the same time, a ball of Buddhist light flew out from behind his head. In the depths of that Buddhist light, a bowl was suspended.
As soon as the alms bowl appeared, the continuously falling divine lightning of the Supreme Purity changed direction and all disappeared into the alms bowl.
This alms bowl was a Buddhist treasure bestowed upon him by the Buddha before his arrival. It has the power to contain all things. Whether it is supernatural powers or magical spells, or magical treasures and flying swords, once they are put into the alms bowl, they can no longer cause any ripples...
"Hmph! Do you think you can fool me because I don't have any magical treasures?!"
Upon seeing this, Lü Dongbin sneered and raised his hand to summon the Yuanyang Ruler.
This object is a primordial spiritual treasure. Once it is offered up, it immediately emits countless rays of light, its divine radiance illuminating heaven and earth.
The Yuan Yang Ruler rolled over and arrived at the top of the Sunlight Bodhisattva's head, wrapped in a ball of purple energy, and smashed straight towards the Sunlight Bodhisattva's forehead.
The Bodhisattva of Sunlight once again raised his alms bowl to welcome the object, intending to include the Yuan Yang Ruler in the bowl as well.
However, the Yuan Yang Ruler was ultimately a mysterious innate spiritual treasure. A flash of purple energy appeared on the jade ruler, and it immediately broke free from the bowl's hold and continued to fall.
The Bodhisattva of Sunlight quickly stepped back, dodging the Yuan Yang Ruler, and pointed with his hand. The alms bowl spun around and crashed into the Yuan Yang Ruler.
In the next instant, the Yuan Yang Ruler and the alms bowl were tumbling and entangled together in the sky.
At this moment, the Bodhisattva of Sunlight took a step forward and arrived above Lü Dongbin. His sleeves hung down, and a ball of flame surged out from them, instantly transforming into a sea of fire, with boundless heat waves enveloping Lü Dongbin within.
This fire is called the Golden Flame of the Sun, and its power is such that it can incinerate all things, only slightly inferior to the True Fire of the Sun.
Golden flames swept down from the sky, and with a clang, the flying sword was drawn again, slashing out with a beam of light to meet the falling golden flames.
This sword light seemed to possess the power to split the heavens and earth; wherever it passed, clusters of flames were cleaved apart, forcibly creating a path through the golden flames.
Lü Dongbin then stepped out of the sea of fire.
Seeing this, the Bodhisattva of Sunlight raised his hand and unleashed a divine thunderbolt of Buddhist sound, striking towards Lü Dongbin.
The lightning bolt was incredibly fast; it struck Lü Dongbin the moment the thunderclap sounded.
A flash of red light appeared in front of Lü Dongbin, and a flaming flag rose into the air.
This treasure was borrowed from his teacher, Laozi, and is one of the few innate protective spiritual treasures.
The Buddha's voice and divine thunder were instantly annihilated by the red glow emitted from the Flame Banner.
The next moment, the scabbard on his back trembled slightly, and the magic sword shot out again.
With a flash of sword light, it instantly multiplied into ten thousand, transforming into countless sword lights that shot towards the Bodhisattva of Sunlight, covering the sky and the earth.
This move was Lü Dongbin's signature sword technique, called the Ten Thousand Swords Technique.
It evolved from the differentiation of sword light...
Faced with the sky full of sword light, the Bodhisattva of Sunlight coughed and spat out a ball of golden light. Before the golden light landed, it immediately transformed into a golden ocean, in which countless golden lotuses bloomed.
Meanwhile, the Bodhisattva of Sunlight had already disappeared into the depths of the lotus ocean.
A myriad of sword lights shot down, disappearing into the golden ocean of light. Under the crushing force of the sword lights, lotus flowers burst apart.
In an instant, the sword lights had already pressed the Bodhisattva of Sunlight close.
"This Lü Chunyang truly lived up to his reputation as an ancient, primordial deity who attained enlightenment. Even after two reincarnations, he remains so formidable..."
The Bodhisattva of Sunlight sighed inwardly, then leaped up to avoid the sharpness of the sword lights.
At this moment, the ocean that the lotus had transformed into had been shattered by the sword light and turned into nothingness.
"All swords return to one!"
Lu Dongbin murmured, raised his hand and pointed, and the myriad sword lights instantly condensed into a huge longsword that stretched across the void, slashing towards the Bodhisattva of Sunlight.
The giant sword cleaved down from the sky, slicing away the gale-force winds and clouds, splitting the sky in two.
Seeing the situation was dire, the Bodhisattva of Sunlight summoned a large hand of vital energy to lift the sword and slightly block it, while shouting loudly, "Moonlight! Come and help me!"
Before he could finish speaking, the giant hand of vital energy he had summoned was cleaved in two by the greatsword.
At this moment, a cold moonlight suddenly shone from the sky, and the Moon Bodhisattva emerged from the depths of the light. She raised her hand and offered up a precious pearl surrounded by Yin energy, which struck the giant sword diagonally.
This bead is similar to the golden bullet that the Bodhisattva of Sunlight offered up before.
One was formed by condensing the divine light of the sun, and the other was formed by condensing the divine light of the moon.
The Taiyin Pearl struck the giant sword, and with just one blow, the giant sword shattered, finally revealing its true form: a three-foot-long flying sword.
Then the Moonlight Bodhisattva appeared and saved the Sunlight Bodhisattva.
Seven auspicious clouds suddenly flew in from the eastern horizon. They were men and women, tall and short, fat and thin, and were the remaining seven True Immortals of the Upper Eight Caves.
They are Tieguai Li, Han Zhongli, Zhang Guolao, Cao Guojiu, Lan Caihe, Han Xiangzi, and He Xiangu.
"Are you two Western Bodhisattvas trying to fool my Xuanmen sect by saying we have no fellow Daoists?"
Han Zhongli shouted loudly.
Upon seeing this, Lü Dongbin's face lit up with joy. He retrieved his flying sword and went to meet them.
The eight people met in mid-air in the blink of an eye.
The Bodhisattvas Moonlight and Sunlight also stood together.
At the same time, a radiant light appeared in the distance, and Guanyin Bodhisattva led a group of Buddhist disciples over.
In an instant, immortals and Buddhas gathered in the sky above Bianliang City. On one side, there were chants of Buddhist hymns and Buddhist light, while on the other side, there was a hazy glow of immortals and the power of Taoism soaring into the heavens...
