Chapter 274: Two Flowers on One Plant, Twin Flowers (20)
Snap——
Shi Sui gathered all his anger into his right fist, and unexpectedly appeared in front of Jade Ding Zhenren, punching him in the face accurately and fiercely.
Jade Ding Zhenren was caught off guard and his nose was directly pierced, and his healthy face collapsed into a flat pancake.
"This isn't over yet!! I'm not the only one who wants to deal with you!"
Shi Sui used Huai Qian's petite body to attack Master Yu Ding repeatedly.
Straight punches, hooks, chokeholds, elbow strikes, whip kicks, side kicks, downward chops... every move is different and every one is deadly.
Jade Ding Zhenren has been in the fairy world for a long time. When he usually has conflicts with others, he always uses fairy magic or sword energy to fight remotely. It has been many, many years since he has experienced the kind of flesh-and-flesh blows from Shi Sui.
He regarded the close combat commonly used by mortals as "low-level", "barbaric" and "useless", but now he was being pinned down and beaten to a pulp, with no power to fight back. Half of his hair was loose, his Taoist robe was torn into strips, and he looked in a miserable state.
"I can't stop. I don't want to leave any energy behind!"
Shisui had never been so angry as she was at that moment.
Her whole body was shining with blood-red light, and she attacked Jade Ding Zhenren with punches and kicks, smoothly and with great satisfaction.
She threw punch after punch, palm after palm, and finally a flying kick from above that hit him directly on the top of his head. Jade Ding Zhenren fell rapidly like a meteorite, hitting the ground heavily, creating a huge pit more than ten meters deep.
Jade Ding Zhenren was stuck at the bottom of the pit and was almost crushed to pieces. He struggled to raise his upper body and gasped for a long time before he came to his senses.
Jade Ding Zhenren was both ashamed and angry.
He was one of the "Twenty Golden Immortals," a master who had made a name for himself in the Conferred Gods War, having broken through the "Immortal Execution Formation" and slain countless demons. And now, he was being suppressed by a single flower?!
How could he swallow this!
“…The Immortal Slaying Sword is unsheathed! Lightning flashes back!”
Jade Ding Zhenren fought desperately, took out his precious Immortal-Slaying Sword, and became one with the sword, launching a counterattack against Shi Sui.
The sword energy that was powerful enough to swallow mountains and destroy seas hissed through the wind, flying like a dragon, pointing directly at Shi Sui's throat!
The speed was as fast as lightning, even King Qin Guang, who was watching the battle, was worried for Shi Sui.
But Shi Sui was already blood-thirsty, and facing the Immortal-Slaying Sword that was powerful enough to kill her in one blow, she narrowed her eyes, and instead of dodging or evading, she rushed towards the sword head-on!
“Die!!”
Jade Ding Zhenren roared, his momentum was like a rainbow.
Just as the tip of the sword was about to pierce Shisui's throat, in the blink of an eye, Shisui cast an illusion and turned into countless red spider lilies in an instant. Her spirit left Huaiqian's body and attached itself to the Sword of Immortal Slaying!
She controlled the Immortal-Slaying Sword and turned around to attack Jade Ding Zhenren!
"No--!!"
The sharp sword energy blinded Master Jade Ding's eyes, and he screamed in horror.
At this critical moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the earth.
The earth shook.
The stone statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva on the top of the mountain, which was split into two by thunder, seemed to suddenly come to life, surrounded by warm Buddha light, and then slowly merged into one again!
The stone statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva slowly rose from the ground, emitting a peaceful light and a melodious bell sound.
Everyone present was stunned. Even the mighty and domineering King Qin Guang knelt on one knee in front of the stone statue to show his respect.
Because the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva had transformed into the appearance of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the supreme ruler of Buddhism in the underworld!
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is one of the four great Bodhisattvas in Buddhism. Under the instructions of Sakyamuni Buddha, he vowed to save all sentient beings in the six realms and relieve their suffering before the death of Sakyamuni and the birth of Maitreya, and then he would become a Buddha.
"Shisui... Jade Ding Zhenren performed illustrious feats in the Conferred Gods War, saving countless lives. Your true form is the Manjushage, one of the 'Four Flowers of Heavenly Auspicious Omens.' You must not be tainted by the sin of slaughter..."
The kind-hearted Tibetan Bodhisattva caught Huai Qian's body falling from mid-air and placed it in his palm.
Shi Sui had no choice but to restrain his murderous intent, withdraw his spirit from the Immortal-Slaying Sword, and, inspired by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, go before him and obey his orders.
For the sake of a pair of twin flowers, Jade Ding Zhenren not only lost one of his disciples, but also mobilized King Qin Guang and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. He was quite uneasy.
He walked forward and bowed to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva: "I have disturbed the Bodhisattva because of such a small matter. It is my fault. I hope the Bodhisattva will be magnanimous and not punish Shi Sui."
Jade Ding Zhenren believed that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was on his side...
He also hypocritically wanted to plead for Shisui, wanting to show his kindness.
"Dozens of innocent monks died here. This is no small matter..."
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva spoke in a calm tone and sat as still as a bell, but he sent out his mount, Di Ting.
The divine beast Di Ting, with a tiger head, a single horn, dog ears, a dragon body, a lion tail, and unicorn feet, stood up from under the lotus seat of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, jumped out, rushed over and bit Jade Ding Zhenren's arm!
Jade Ding Zhenren was dissatisfied: "I am just following the will of Heaven, what crime have I committed?!"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva spoke softly, "The Buddha's twin flowers are heavenly flowers that bring salvation to all living beings... Jade Ding Zhenren, you, driven by selfish desires, have given rise to evil thoughts, committing acts of greed, hatred, ignorance, and murder. In recognition of your past military achievements, I have specially sent you to the volcanic hell of the underworld to reflect on your sins..."
When Jade Ding Zhenren heard this, he panicked.
The ghosts being tortured in the volcanic hell will be burned alive by the scorching lava continuously, suffering terribly but unable to die. This is more difficult for them to accept than having their souls shattered and turned into ashes!
Jade Ding Zhenren tried to resist and wanted to escape back to the fairyland for help, but was captured by King Qin Guang.
"Wait..." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva called out to King Qin Guang, "Leave the souls of the monks here, they are not destined to die..."
The Bodhisattva allowed the monk's soul to return to his body and be resurrected, and then allowed King Qin Guang and the ghost officials to take the souls of Jade Ding Zhenren and Taoist Xuanqing to the underworld.
Shi Sui then realized that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had stopped her from attacking Jade Ding Zhenren just now, in fact, he was saving her.
If she really killed the Golden Immortal and committed the sin of killing, then she would be the one sent to hell to suffer...
The Bodhisattva picked a petal from the lotus seat and covered the unconscious Huai Qian in her palm. Huai Qian then opened her eyes and woke up.
"Shi Sui, Huai Qian. You grew up at the intersection of Yin and Yang, unfettered by the Six Paths. The life-or-death calamity you faced today is actually a calamity you were destined to endure."
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva asked Huaiqian and Shisui to stand under the lotus seat and listen to his orders.
"Twin Peanuts are destined to love and hate each other, but this Lord, mindful of your compassion, has completed Huaiqian's incomplete soul. From now on, you can, like Shisui, travel the mortal world without the constraints of time and space, accumulating merit. But at the same time, this Lord will also take back your body, and you can only exist in the form of spirit... Shiqian, are you willing?"
The decision of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was equivalent to showing mercy and breaking the rule that one of the twin flowers must die, which made everyone happy.
But Huai Qian unexpectedly refused: "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, I... don't want to!"
