Xue Gui looked at the old monk before him with a solemn expression and asked slowly, "Jingang Temple?"
The sweeping monk slowly raised his head, his old face revealing only bright and spirited eyes: "Although I was born into the Buddhist sect, I am no longer in it. I am grateful for the Holy Son's care and have been appointed as an elder of the Gold and Silver Sect."
"Gold and Silver Sect? What kind of force is your Gold and Silver Sect? How dare you interfere in the affairs of my Blood God Sect?"
“Even if I were just passing by, seeing a demon like you, I would still advise you.”
Xue Gui narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself that this old monk was not easy to deal with, probably more troublesome than the bald monks of the Vajra Temple he had seen!
"Old monk, don't you know who I am? Sacrificing yourself for righteousness is indeed noble, but in the end it's just a matter of life and death, and they will be buried with you!"
"Amitabha Buddha, benefactor, you are lost and wandering, beset by misfortune. The world is full of suffering, and there is no room for the demonic path. Know that the sea of suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore. Lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot..."
As soon as he uttered the last sentence, the Sweeping Monk emitted a golden light, illuminating the entire Meng Mansion as bright as day!
Everyone felt that only the phrase "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot" remained in the world, and they felt inexplicably at ease, as if they had seen the Pure Land!
Xue Gui, who was the first to be affected, felt it the most. In his world, the whole world had become a paradise. Children were playing in the distance, old cows were grazing, and he even saw his wife and children from many years ago!
His face tightened, and he thought to himself that this old monk had profound cultivation and that his Buddhist teachings were far more powerful than those brutes in the Vajra Temple!
Biting his tongue, Xue Guimeng waved his hand, and crimson true energy burst forth from his body, shattering the illusory scene before him!
"Old monk, you dare to scheme against me?"
Chu Di felt very safe by the Sweeper Monk's side, but he wouldn't tolerate it and interrupted.
"Go to hell! You're a member of the demonic path, everyone has the right to kill you. Did the master even have a meal with you before taking action?"
Xue Gui revealed a fierce look; even with his excellent self-control, he was now seething with anger!
"You little bastard, just you wait! I'll teach this old man a lesson and see if you're still so arrogant!"
He could tell from the last move that the old monk's cultivation was no less than his own, but he was never afraid of opponents of the same level!
Even among the monks of Vajra Temple, he was known for his fierce reputation. He hadn't used his full strength in many years, yet he was now secretly excited!
His blood boiled, and in a flash of light, he appeared in front of the Sweeper Monk. He slapped his palm forward, and the energy gathered in his palm made Chu Di, who was standing next to him, turn pale with horror!
The sweeping monk remained unmoved, his hands clasped together, softly chanting a Buddhist mantra. His entire body shone with golden light, instantly forming a three-foot-wide wall of energy around him, even his tattered monk's robes were tinged with golden light!
"Blood Demon Hand!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Xue Gui's eyes, and one of his hands had turned completely crimson, with red light flashing on it, seemingly indestructible!
Just as his handprint touched the sweeping monk's aura wall, the point of contact between the two was filled with energy, and Chu Di, who was next to the sweeping monk, was blown away by this energy!
Xue Gui's Blood Demon Hand broke through the barrier of qi bit by bit. Just as he was about to succeed, the Sweeper Monk separated his hands, which were clasped together, and made a Buddhist mudra with his right hand, pointing it at the blood hand!
"Six Meridian Divine Sword!"
boom!
A ten-meter vacuum formed around the two, filled with crisscrossing sword energy!
Xue Gui's expression changed, and he flew away!
His right hand hung down, leaving traces of blood, clearly indicating that the Sweeper Monk had broken his divine skill!
Chu Di, with his sharp eyes, noticed Xue Gui's condition from afar and laughed, "You old scoundrel, you've tasted the master's power now! I advise you to listen to the master's words, lay down your butcher's knife, follow the master to learn Buddhism, and repay your blood debt, or you'll regret it too late!"
Xue Gui ignored Chu Di's words and stared at the sweeping monk in astonishment.
"You're using swordsmanship? You're not a Buddhist!"
The sweeping monk remained unfazed and said calmly, "Amitabha, there are methods to exorcise demons. This humble monk has simply happened to learn such a divine skill."
Chu Di understood. Just now, the master used a sword technique to break Xue Gui's divine skill. He was immediately very curious. What kind of sword technique didn't use a sword but instead used his fingers?
If he learns such a cool martial arts skill, wouldn't he be able to woo any girl in the world?
"You old monk, you're really cunning! A member of the Buddhist community resorting to such underhanded tricks!"
There are many martial arts techniques in the world, but in terms of attack power, swordsmanship is the most prestigious. He was not mistaken; the move that shattered his Blood Demon Hand was a sword technique. Moreover, the sword energy was overflowing at the time, and he, being within the sword energy, was even more aware of it!
The old monk's cultivation was only on par with his, but with his powerful and unpredictable swordsmanship, cold sweat broke out on his forehead!
Chu Di was displeased. How could such a powerful sword technique be considered a low-class move?
"You old scoundrel, don't resort to trouble just because you can't win. The master's swordsmanship is the best in the world, reaching the realm where no sword is better than having a sword. How could a lowly scoundrel like you possibly fathom it!"
Enraged, Xue Gui threw a palm at Chu Di, but the sweeping monk blocked it by moving his body horizontally in mid-air.
That speed was beyond what Chu Di could achieve with his Lingbo Weibu technique; it was like the legendary ability to shrink the earth to an inch!
"Your only opponent is me, so please don't attack innocent people."
"You old bald monk, you seem to have me cornered. I'll show you the methods of my demonic path!"
After Xue Gui finished speaking, he flashed in front of Meng Yuhai. Looking at his dying disciple, his face no longer showed the kind demeanor of a loving teacher!
"Master...Master...save...save me..."
When Meng Yuhai saw his master come to him, he thought that his master was going to take him away.
"Although your cultivation level hasn't reached the Grandmaster level, it's still usable. Nine returns to one, you are the last one, become the nourishment for my divine skill to reach its peak!"
Xue Gui said frantically.
Upon hearing Xue Gui's words, Meng Yuhai's face showed a look of astonishment: "Master...Master, I am your...disciple!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Gui scoffed, "Disciple? In the demonic path, even one's closest relatives can be called a furnace or vessel, so what is a disciple?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Yuhai's face turned ashen, as if he had just realized something: "I...cough cough...I still have those people, without...without me, your...your plan won't...cough cough, it won't succeed!"
Xue Gui laughed and said, "All those people you arranged will be under my control once I've absorbed you, you silly disciple!"
"So...so that's how it is...you gave me...but the Blood Demon Technique wasn't complete!"
"It seems you're not entirely foolish. Your existence is solely for my mastery of this divine art. The most crucial aspect of the Blood Demon Technique is devouring those of the same origin. You are the eighty-first, and also the last!"
Xue Gui said no more, and with one palm strike, Meng Yuhai turned into a dried-up corpse amidst screams!
The sweeping monk did not stop Xue Gui. He had received a message from the Holy Son, asking him to see the methods of the demonic path in this world!
