Looking at the Bright Moon Boy opposite him, Lü Dongbin couldn't help but sneer inwardly: "This Buddhist saint is indeed no good!"
In order to complete the list of those on the Investiture of the Gods, they actually sent a young boy from outside the religion to his death…
He could naturally see that beneath Mingyue Tongzi's seemingly resilient exterior lay deep fear and unease.
"You will surely die today!"
Lu Dongbin snorted coldly and unleashed his ultimate skill without hesitation, immediately summoning his immortal sword to slash at Mingyue Tongzi.
The immortal sword rose into the air, instantly transforming into a dazzling sword light, hurtling towards them with unparalleled force.
Faced with such a fierce attack, Mingyue Tongzi dared not be negligent in the slightest. He quickly raised his hand and pointed, and a scroll of earth book shining with primordial yellow energy appeared in response, meeting the sword light head-on.
With a deafening roar, the sword light collided violently with the Earth Book, unleashing countless dazzling rays of light.
Surprisingly, in this fierce clash, the sword light collapsed and dissipated, while the Earth Book was blasted back.
Although this Earth Book is a top-tier protective spiritual treasure, the user must possess a considerably high level of cultivation in order to unleash its full power.
Only when the Earth Book is in Zhen Yuanzi's hands can it truly demonstrate its top-tier defensive capabilities that can withstand anything.
Unfortunately, the one currently wielding the Earth Book is the Bright Moon Child, and the difference in strength is too great, so the profound mystery of the Earth Book is greatly diminished...
When Lü Dongbin's sword strike failed, he immediately pointed with his fingers.
As if understanding its master's command, the immortal sword suspended in mid-air immediately began to circle in the air and shot towards Mingyue Tongzi at an even faster and more powerful speed than before.
At the same time, he summoned a pure yang divine lightning bolt, which was like a roaring dragon, baring its fangs and claws as it struck down at the ginseng fruit tree above Mingyue Tongzi's head.
With a deafening roar, lightning exploded, and a powerful shockwave shook the ginseng fruit tree violently, as if it would uproot the entire tree.
The innate Wuji Xuan light released from the tree was not to be outdone; like a group of brave warriors, it engaged in a fierce battle with the Pure Yang Divine Lightning.
The two sides collided and wore each other down, making it difficult to determine a winner for a time.
However, this was only the beginning, as the immortal sword soon struck.
Faced with the incoming immortal sword, Mingyue Tongzi quickly threw out the Earth Book in his hand again.
The Earth Book shone with a dazzling, mysterious light, easily blocking the immortal sword.
Upon seeing this, Lü Dongbin couldn't help but frown slightly.
He knew that although the boy before him was weak, he was still not to be underestimated because he possessed a great treasure.
He gently raised his hand and summoned the Flaming Banner that rose off the ground.
The precious banner, surrounded by a red glow like a burning flame, shot towards the ginseng fruit tree with a scorching aura.
The Flame Banner immediately released a burst of fiery light, which swept towards the ginseng fruit tree like a giant fire cloud.
"Boom!!"
With a deafening roar, the Fiery Light erupted like a volcanic eruption, intertwining with the Pure Yang Divine Lightning to form a devastating torrent of energy that slammed violently into the Ginseng Fruit Tree.
However, after just a moment of contact, the ginseng fruit tree seemed to have its life force drained away.
The once dazzling light instantly dimmed and then fell helplessly from above the Moon Child's head.
At the same time, as the sword light continued to sever the attack, the Earth Book let out a mournful cry, as if it could not withstand the powerful sword energy and flew directly back into the arms of the Bright Moon Child.
Looking at the dimmed Earth Book and Ginseng Fruit in his hands, Mingyue Tongzi felt a deep sense of defeat: "Alas... I am ultimately no match for Master. I'm afraid I will disappoint his spirit in heaven this time..."
Upon thinking of this, a hint of melancholy flashed in her eyes. Without hesitation, she pushed the Earth Book and the Ginseng Fruit forward and turned to run towards the Pure Land Bodhi Forest.
"Hehehe..."
Upon seeing this, Lü Dongbin's lips curled up slightly, and he chuckled softly.
With a casual wave of his hand, another bolt of lightning roared out, striking the two treasures accurately and knocking them to the ground.
Immediately afterward, with a thought, he once again commanded the immortal sword to transform into a stream of light, shooting towards the Bright Moon Boy like lightning.
The sword light was unbroken and its momentum was like a rainbow, as if it would tear the entire world apart.
In the blink of an eye, the sword light flashed and crisscrossed the entire arena.
The Moon Child was running forward with all his might, but his speed was far slower than that of the sword light.
With a soft thud, the sword light pierced Mingyue Tongzi's back without fail.
In an instant, the Moon Child's running figure suddenly stopped, and he let out a shrill wail.
"Ah! I am about to die!"
Immediately, she coughed up a mouthful of blood, and her body collapsed to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
After a few violent convulsions, it fell silent.
However, just as Mingyue Tongzi collapsed, a faint true spirit slowly drifted out from her body.
The true spirit, like a wisp of smoke, hovered for a moment before flying straight towards the direction of the Investiture of the Gods.
Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong was startled and quickly leaped into the arena.
He quickly walked to Mingyue Tongzi's side, looked at Mingyue Tongzi who had already lost his life, his face filled with grief, and couldn't help but sigh to the sky.
"Brother! I, Old Sun, have truly failed you! I couldn't even preserve the last vestige of your legacy..."
Sun Wukong's voice was filled with self-blame and regret.
He knew that the death of Mingyue Tongzi meant that the lineage of Wuzhuang Temple had been completely severed.
Sun Wukong stood silently in place, gazing at the corpse of Mingyue Tongzi for a long, long time...
Finally, he bent down, picked up the ginseng fruit tree and the earth book beside him, then gently picked up the body of the Bright Moon Child and turned to walk towards the Bodhi Forest.
To the disciples of various sects present, every step Sun Wukong took seemed incredibly heavy…
Sun Wukong returned to the Bodhi tree, placed the body of Mingyue Tongzi aside, and prepared to bury him when he had time.
After that, he silently began to refine the Earth Book and the Ginseng Fruit Tree...
In the arena, Lü Dongbin killed Mingyue Tongzi, then put away his magical treasure and continued to look at the Bodhi Forest.
"Gentlemen, who will dare to fight me again?!"
This time, the Sage Zhunti did not look at his disciples and followers, but instead turned his gaze to the Goddess Nuwa.
Nuwa understood, and with a thought, demonic energy surged within the celestial light behind her, from which emerged a great demon saint…
This demon saint was robust and resembled a monkey; his name was Wuzhiqi.
Although he was a junior among the demons, in terms of seniority, he could not compare to the demon saints of the Di Jun era.
However, in terms of strength and prestige, they are in no way inferior to those demon saints...
