Chapter 645: The Lawless Ghost
Tongji’s fire is not ordinary fire, Gong Mengbi has experienced it long ago.
This flame can penetrate the underworld, travel back and forth between the yin and yang realms, and is not obscured by any obstacles.
When the flames reached him, Gong Mengbi realized that his best illusion technique was invisible in the flames.
On the one hand, the scorching flames possess enlightenment and Zen principles that permeate the void, while on the other hand, they display the anger and emptiness that can reduce the entire world to scorched earth when offended.
Even Gong Mengbi rarely glimpsed such divine will and magical powers, and he already had an understanding and mystery that surpassed the middle level.
Like King Tongyou, he practiced the Earth Wheel Book, but was still limited to the Divine Wheel Dharma Image and still needed to use the Earth Wheel to display his supernatural powers.
But here at King Tongji's place, there were no fire wheels, but fire wheels everywhere. The divine fire was just like the body's wish-fulfilling power, penetrating every hole, burning everything, and lingering forever.
To fight against such magical powers, one must possess corresponding Taoist methods.
Gong Mengbi had previously struck the sword, but now it had fallen back. So in the eyes of King Tongji, he was doomed to die.
Endless flames rushed over from the red bead, covering the sky and the earth, and finally all fell on Gong Mengbi.
King Tongji's face showed incomparable excitement and cruel joy. He was so angry, yet so happy. His ghost body also turned into a terrifying and ferocious face of Mingwang.
"die!"
The flames concentrated on Gong Mengbi's body, and finally exploded, blooming like red spider lilies in the rushing mountain torrent.
King Tongji was very proud. He looked up at the sky, as if he was looking through the sky at Mr. Yuanming's position. It was a threat, saying: You are the next one!
Mr. Yuanming's heart skipped a beat, not because of King Tongji's threat, but out of concern for Gong Mengbi.
But in an instant he smiled, because the aura in the divine fire did not dissipate, but was as solid as a rock.
King Tongji suddenly turned around and stared at Gong Mengbi.
Lycoris radiata blossomed, and in the center stood the unharmed Gong Mengbi. He seemed draped in a red cloud, as if a divine being born from the flames. The divine fire blossomed around him, creating all sorts of wonders, but it could not even get close to him.
King Tongji's face turned pale and he shouted, "Impossible!"
Gong Mengbi's body seemed to be shrouded in mist, transforming into the shape of a dark dragon, to and fro between existence and non-existence. He smiled and said, "I have divine help. You cannot kill me."
The angry ghost-like image of King Tongji revealed an expression of disbelief and a hint of fear. He said, "Heaven's help? What do you mean by Heaven's help?"
The scene of the Azure Dragon circled around Gong Mengbi, and suddenly turned into a sky full of stars, enveloping the scorching divine fire. The flood in the mountains was submerged in the starlight, and the surging water surface could not reflect the actual scene of the Azure Dragon and the seven stars, but turned into the Milky Way under the starlight.
Gong Mengbi looked at King Tongji from afar under the seven stars of the Azure Dragon. It seemed that the sky was spreading out, and the stars in the sky were gathering King Tongji into it.
Gong Mengbi shouted, "Tongji, the fifth son of the Xiao family, has a connection with Buddhism but does not cultivate his Buddha nature. He vainly aspires to supernatural powers but does not understand the will of Heaven."
"He accepts the enemy as his father, commits treasonous acts, and harms the people!"
"Transform into five kinds of ghosts and gods, and seize the creation of heaven and man!"
"Disrupting the laws of nature and destroying yin and yang..."
He shouted out each word, and the starlight in the sky became like sharp swords. The evil energy of the stars fell on him like the power of a blue dragon. The divine fire burning under his feet kept shrinking under the stars and finally went out.
Gong Mengbi seemed to be speaking the law of heaven, and every word he said was powerful. Every time he spoke, King Tongji would be punished by the evil spirits of the stars. Before he finished reporting the crimes of King Tongji, King Tongji realized that he could no longer continue speaking. The red bead suddenly shone with light and hit Gong Mengbi like the scorching sun.
The divine fire illuminated the void, and his body moved with it. The musket turned into a golden light and stabbed towards Gong Mengbi's face.
Before the red bead reached him, a faint roar was heard, and a tiger seemed to appear behind Gong Mengbi, roaring with its mouth open. The red bead trembled violently, lost its luster, and flew back wailing.
King Tongji appeared in front of Gong Mengbi with a golden light in his hand. Before he could thrust out his spear, the tiger stretched out its claws and turned into an extremely ferocious star-like aura, knocking him down.
Gong Mengbi's expression remained unchanged as he calmly recounted the crimes of King Tongji. He then cupped his hands and said, "With the virtue of the Azure Dragon, I will now punish the lawless ghosts and the vicious and stubborn gods!"
The angry ghost body of King Tongji suddenly turned into a fearful one, and a ray of light flew out from Gong Mengbi's sleeve. In the infinite starlight of the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon, it seemed to be a rainbow piercing through the sky and the earth, or it seemed to be just a bit of residual light, falling from the sky, piercing through the chest of King Tongji with infinite starlight.
"No!"
King Tongji struggled hard but could not move at all. He watched helplessly as the Canglong Sword pierced through his chest. Then all his consciousness fell into the endless starlight and turned into pure white.
His divine body turned into flying flames, and only his head with a red bead embedded in the center of his eyebrows was suspended in the void, unable to move.
The Canglong Wandering Sword stayed at the side of King Tongji, as if it felt satisfied and was feeling the aftertaste of the moment.
"Fifth brother!" King Tongyou was so shocked that he could no longer maintain the wheel of earth. He was swept up by the force of the mountain torrent. Then the mountains and rivers shook, the sky collapsed and the earth sank, burying him.
Gong Mengbi was quick-witted and quick-handed. He stretched out his hand and made a circle in the flood. The circle then trapped the Immortal Jin Ting like a dragon. The fox turned into a white fox and flew back, and was put into Gong Mengbi's sleeve.
The stars in the sky disappeared like a mirage, and everything seemed like an illusion.
Mr. Yuan Ming's voice came from outside the sky, "Mingfu, we're going to lock the formation and kill that ghost. Why don't you come out?"
Gong Mengbi held the head of King Tongji. The head was extremely quiet at the moment, without his previous restlessness and irritability. Against the backdrop of the fire bead between his eyebrows, it actually showed a bit of tranquility and compassion.
Gong Mengbi responded loudly, "I have to keep an eye on him. You better be careful not to let him get away."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Yuanming couldn't help but feel a bit surprised. Gong Mengbi had used the might of the Azure Dragon and the Seven Stars to slay Wudao. Even Mr. Yuanming couldn't stop that strike, and there was no way he could escape. But from what Gong Mengbi said, it seemed as if King Tongji was still alive.
Mr. Yuan Ming then closed the chessboard formation, encompassing the heaven and earth, forming a whole, and locking Gong Mengbi inside.
Gong Mengbi found a high mountaintop and sat down, placing King Tongji's head on the bluestone in front of him. He asked, "The formation has been locked, and your Shen Ruyi Tong has been broken. You can't get out, so there's no need to pretend to be dead."
King Tongji's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened and stared straight at Gong Mengbi.
