Chi Jingzi watched Wuzhiqi fall from the sky, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes. He raised his hand and gently waved it back.
Then he pressed the escape light and landed steadily in front of Wuzhiqi.
At this moment, Wuzhiqi had just been exposed to the Yin-Yang Mirror. Although he managed to protect his soul with his profound cultivation and did not turn into ashes, he still suffered extremely serious injuries.
His magical power was still abundant, but he had temporarily lost the ability to resist.
Seeing that Wuzhiqi was powerless to resist, Chijingzi raised the Immortal Slaughtering Sword in his hand without hesitation, preparing to pierce Wuzhiqi's body with one strike.
However, just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly felt the Immortal Slayer Sword in his hand begin to tremble violently.
In the next instant, he could no longer hold the sword. The Immortal Slayer Sword broke free from his control and flew away into the distance like lightning.
Chi Jingzi was startled and before he could react, he saw a figure riding a mount slowly approaching from afar.
The figure appeared to move slowly, but in reality, it was as fast as lightning, arriving in the blink of an eye.
He reached out and easily grasped the Immortal Slayer Sword in his hand.
Chi Jingzi was startled, thinking to himself: Why is he here...?
However, he quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
"Disciple greets the Master."
Hu Le nodded slightly, his eyes filled with indifference, and slowly said, "I have come here today specifically to retrieve the Immortal Slaughtering Sword from Fellow Daoist Tongtian. Do you have any objections?"
Chi Jingzi looked at the Immortal Slaughtering Sword gleaming with cold light in Hu Le's hand, and a sense of helplessness welled up in his heart.
He quickly shook his head and replied respectfully, "How dare this disciple? This treasure originally belonged to my Uncle Tongtian. It would be most appropriate for the Sect Leader to take it back for him."
Hu Le's lips curled into a faint smile, seemingly quite satisfied with Chi Jingzi's answer. "You do know what's good for you..."
Then, Hu Le turned his gaze to Wuzhiqi, who was lying on the ground.
Wuzhiqi was already covered in wounds and his breath was weak, but his eyes still revealed a trace of stubbornness and unyieldingness.
Hu Le smiled and asked, "Wuzhiqi, are you willing to convert to my religion?"
Wuzhiqi gave a bitter laugh, his voice filled with despair and helplessness.
"Hehe... Master, please don't make things difficult for me."
"Rather than converting to the cult leader and being treated as ashes by him, where death is inevitable sooner or later, I'd rather the cult leader just give me a quick death."
Upon hearing this, Hu Le nodded slightly, indicating his understanding of Wuzhiqi's choice.
"Since that's the case, then so be it."
Hu Le said it casually.
Before he finished speaking, he casually flicked the Immortal Slayer Sword.
In an instant, a dazzling sword light shot out from the Immortal Slayer Sword, as swift as lightning.
This sword light contained boundless power, as if it could tear apart the void.
Wuzhiqi stared wide-eyed at the approaching sword light, a sense of indescribable fear rising within him.
He tried to struggle to escape, but his body wouldn't obey him.
The next moment, the sword light struck Wuzhiqi accurately, pinning him firmly to the ground.
Wuzhiqi let out a shrill scream, and blood splattered everywhere.
Seeing this scene, Chi Jingzi felt a chill run down his spine. He stared blankly as a true spirit rose from Wuzhiqi's body and then shot towards the horizon.
Hu Le raised his sword and killed Wuzhiqi. He didn't look at him again and turned to drive his mount away.
Chi Jingzi stood there, watching Hu Le walk further and further away. He felt a sense of relief, but also a trace of regret that was hard to describe.
He was secretly glad to have survived, but at the same time he felt very sorry for losing the Immortal Slayer Sword.
However, after taking a deep breath, Chi Jingzi quickly adjusted his mindset and rode the cloud light back to the Lotus Bodhi Grand Array.
When he arrived before Yuanshi Tianzun, his face still showed a hint of unease.
Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at Chijingzi indifferently, his gaze falling on Chijingzi's empty hands, and instantly understood everything.
He frowned slightly and shook his head gently.
However, Yuanshi Tianzun did not blame him.
The old man from the South Pole slowly spoke up to comfort him: "Junior brother, since it has already happened, there is no need to dwell on it anymore."
Wuzhiqi was a troublesome character to begin with, so eliminating him this time can be considered a great achievement.
As for the Immortal Slayer Sword…
At this point, the Old Man of the South Pole paused, a profound meaning flashing in his eyes.
He continued, "The fate between this sword and you has run its course; you cannot force it."
Chi Jingzi listened to the words of the Antarctic Immortal, and although he was still unwilling, he could only nod helplessly.
Next, Yuanshi Tianzun coughed lightly, then called out the name of Yuding Zhenren and ordered him to go to the arena to have a match with someone.
Seeing that another disciple of the Chan Sect had entered the fray, the Sage Zhunti also named the Buddha Dingguang Huanxi to go and accept the challenge.
When Dipankara Buddha heard that his name had been called, he was very unwilling, but he dared not disobey the holy man's command.
Therefore, he had no choice but to pick up a celestial sword, leap into the center of the arena, and engage in a fierce battle with Jade Cauldron Immortal.
In fact, this Buddha of Dipankara was not known for his cultivation and strength during the Jiejiao period.
Later, he betrayed the Jie Sect and devoted himself to Buddhism.
Nevertheless, he was able to attain enlightenment in Buddhism not because of his own spiritual achievements, but because he stole the Six Soul Banner of the Tongtian Sect Master and joined his side.
Based on this merit, Buddhism bestowed upon him a state of enlightenment.
After fighting for more than a hundred rounds, Dingguang Huanxi Buddha realized that he was indeed no match for Yuding Zhenren. If he continued to fight, he would inevitably meet the same fate as Mingyue Tongzi and perish.
So, before he was completely defeated, he created an opening and immediately vanished in a flash of light.
He was afraid that he would be punished by the leader when he returned because he was cowardly.
Therefore, Dingguang Huanxi Buddha did not flee back to his own formation, but instead fled towards the outer edge of the Lotus Bodhi Formation.
Master Yu Ding, wielding the Immortal-Trapping Sword, also pursued relentlessly in his escape light.
They chased each other all the way, speeding through the clouds like shooting stars.
Suddenly, the Buddha of Dipankara let out a terrified scream that echoed through the sky.
Master Yu Ding was startled and hurriedly looked up. He saw that, ten thousand miles away, the Master Tongtian was riding the Kui Niu leisurely and slowly approaching.
His figure was as majestic as a mountain, giving people an endless sense of awe.
Master Yu Ding instantly realized that it was his Uncle Tongtian who had arrived!
No wonder the Buddha of Dipankara was so terrified.
Back then, this Buddha of Dipankara had betrayed his Uncle Tongtian. Now that they meet again, how could he not feel fear?
At this moment, Master Yuding couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he was not a traitor to the Jie Sect.
He knew all too well how formidable his Uncle Tongtian was. If he were to commit such a despicable act, his fate would likely be a hundred times more miserable than that of the Buddha Dingguang Huanxi.
Thinking of this, he felt even more contempt and disdain for the Buddha of Dipankara…
