Chapter 571: Killing the World Realm
The sound of stringed instruments coming from the end of the quiet long street was extremely abrupt and quickly attracted Zhao Duan's attention.
He looked in the direction of the sound and vaguely saw a brightly lit building standing at the end of the street.
The pavilion has many floors, and red lanterns are hung under the black eaves.
"This is how the Dragon Girl kills people." Pei Niannu looked over calmly and said lightly.
Zhao Duan was stunned for a moment, then bowed earnestly and said, "Senior, please enlighten me."
Pei Niannu explained:
"Once the Dragon Girl pulls you into a dream, unless your spirit is strong enough to tear through the blockade, there is only one way to leave, and that is to enter the dream tower she created here.
On every floor of the building, there will be various things that erode, shake, and rock your soul. Any living being that enters the dream will become emotionally weak and easily affected.
Once you are affected, you will be invisibly eroded and corrupted by the Dragon Girl. When your defenses are broken, you will die completely in the dream. Unless you can resist the layers of erosion and leave the top floor of the Dream Tower.
Zhao Duan's heart sank. "Senior, can I... handle it?"
He has always been very confident about his willpower, and he is a mortal who cannot help but have wild thoughts when seeing the empress.
Which cadre can withstand such a test?
Pei Niannu looked at him with disdain, and sneered under his mask:
"On your own, there's no way you'll survive. However, you're lucky. Aren't there two things hidden in your sea of consciousness? You can summon them here."
Zhao Duan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly woke up.
Is there something in his sea of consciousness?
One is the green lotus that the "Buddha" granted to plant, and the other is the "Daluo Mountain Jade" that was seized from the deceived Taoist.
He had an idea and tried to sense it. Soon, a plump and tender lotus appeared in his left hand.
It was indigo in color, emitting a hazy glow, its petals were blooming, and Buddha's light was lingering inside. Zhao Duan was only holding a piece of its rhizome.
In his right hand, a jade leaf suddenly appeared, shimmering like breathing.
He couldn't carry weapons like the sword into his dreams, but he could with these two things hidden in his sea of consciousness.
Pei Niannu stared at him with complicated eyes, as if a little jealous of this guy's incredible luck, and said quietly:
"Wear the Daluo Mountain Jade on your body; it will protect your soul from being disturbed. As for the Azure Lotus, hold it in your hand. I will use it when you need it."
"Oh oh." Zhao Duan followed the advice.
Then he followed Pei Niannu and walked towards the brightly lit pavilion.
The closer they got, the clearer the sound of stringed instruments and bamboo music from inside the building became. The door was ajar, and Pei Niannu waved her hand, and the door swung open.
The sorceress in wedding dress floated in, followed closely by Zhao Duan.
Passing through a curtain, Zhao Duan squinted at the golden light in front of him. He put up a "pergola" in front of his eyes with one hand, and waited until his eyes adjusted to the light in the building before taking a deep breath.
"So...so much money..."
The first floor of the pavilion was decorated extremely luxuriously. The ground was paved with gold bricks. The red-painted wooden pillars were thick and luxurious. The building was full of jewels and precious stones. Even the ubiquitous lamps were made of pure gold.
In the middle of the ground, gold and silver ingots, mixed with jade, pearls and other precious treasures, were piled up into a small hill!
Such a large amount of money... is truly rich enough to rival a country. If it can be given out, it will be enough to support the entire court for ten years... Zhao Duan's mouth was dry, his heart was pounding, and the human instinct of greed rose in his heart.
His legs moved towards the Golden Mountain almost subconsciously, but the Daluo Mountain Jade hanging around his neck suddenly flickered.
An invisible force spread out.
Zhao Duan suddenly stopped, the greed in his eyes suddenly disappearing! He was shocked to find that he had unknowingly walked to the edge of the golden mountain, and a hand stretched out, almost touching it!
"I've been affected..." He was shocked and cold sweat broke out on his back.
Pei Niannu came over with a half-smile, glanced at him, and seemed a little disappointed because he didn't see him make a fool of himself, and teased:
"Are you moved?"
Zhao Duan spoke righteously, holding a lotus in his hand, and looked at her:
"I'm a farmer's son. Even if my mansion is filled with mountains of gold and silver, I won't spend a single cent!"
Pei Niannu was stunned, not quite understanding what he said.
"Just kidding. Thank you for the reminder, senior. There is indeed evil in this building." Zhao Duan said with a smile.
Pei Niannu snorted and said, "Use the Buddha's light from the lotus to illuminate it."
Zhao Duan was stunned, looked at the green lotus in his hand, and then an idea came to him, so he tentatively blew it with his mouth.
The Buddha's light in Qinglianlian's heart was like an illusory flame, which was blown out in a wisp and ignited the entire golden mountain.
The fire burned fiercely, and in a breath, it burned mountains of gold and silver into nothingness.
When the Buddha's light was withdrawn, Zhao Duan was surprised to find that one of the petals of the lotus had turned into the shape of an indigo scale, which looked exactly like the dragon scale of the dragon girl.
“Every level here represents a portion of the Dragon Girl’s power.
Since this wild god was nurtured and driven by Buddhism, it means that a senior monk in Shenlong Temple spent a lot of effort to convert this dragon girl to Buddhism. She has become a tamed wild god and can be converted by the light of the Tathagata Buddha. I really don't know whether you are lucky or what.
If you don’t have this lotus, I can at most help you wake up from your dream, but with this lotus, maybe I can subdue this wild god.
Haha, the years of hard work of the Buddhist monks have actually made a wedding dress for you kid."
Pei Niannu explained, then stepped over the golden mountain and walked towards the stairs inside.
What? Conquer the wild gods?
Zhao Duan was startled:
"Eh? Senior, please walk slower..."
…
The second floor of Dream Tower.
Large pools were dug in the ground, filled with fine wine, and the aroma of wine was everywhere.
There were countless sizzling, greasy meats hanging in the air, and countless fruits on the table.
In addition, there were several fat men, some of whom were drunkenly soaking in the pool, while others were lying on their backs on the ground, eating with big mouthfuls of food.
Zhao Duan's mouth was watering and he felt extremely hungry. He almost pounced on the food to join the feast.
However, this time he was alert and with the protection of the Daluo Mountain Jade, he suppressed his appetite, blew the green lotus, illuminated it with Buddha's light, and then entered the third level.
"Hmph, do you know that you should stop spending public funds on food and drink..." Zhao Duan said with disdain.
…
As soon as we entered the third floor, the sound of stringed instruments and orchestras suddenly increased.
Zhao Duan was surprised to see silk curtains hanging on the three floors.
The entire third floor was a huge bed. Beautiful women in ragged clothes were entangled in twos or threes, rolling on the ground, and some were playing the piano.
The white color is dazzling...it is so charming and beautiful, and there are all kinds of styles.
Zhao Duan was breathing rapidly, and he glanced at Pei Niannu out of the corner of his eye, only to see that the senior's snow-white cheeks were also slightly red under his dark golden mask.
He suddenly realized a problem: Would Pei Niannu's mind be infected by being here?
If so, then besides the women, shouldn't the third floor also have a bunch of 180cm tall, dark-skinned athletes with double doors...
While he was thinking deeply, hundreds of half-dressed women stood up, stood in two rows, and said in unison:
"Welcome, sir..."
"..." Zhao Duan's face darkened, he puffed up his cheeks, and blew the lotus flower fiercely:
"Shang K is a great enemy of politics. Don't even think of making me make a mistake!"
The two of them looked a little embarrassed as they rushed over from this floor.
…
When I reached the fourth floor, the music in my ears turned into mournful music.
All I saw before me was a huge mourning hall, with white curtains decorated with flowers and densely packed white candles burning.
A pitch-black coffin was in front, and on the huge memorial tablet were eight large characters: "Tomb of Zhao Du'an and Pei Niannu".
In the mourning hall, there were people with blurred faces, dressed in mourning and wailing.
"This is arousing your fear of death." Pei Niannu's red cheeks faded, and she said with cold eyes.
Then he walked away without any hindrance.
After I traveled through time, I wondered if the compensation had been paid in full… Zhao Duan looked at his own mourning hall, a huge sadness condensing in his heart. He couldn't help but shed tears. He blew out Buddha's light in fear, burning the mourning hall to ashes. Only then did he feel calmer and asked curiously:
"Senior, it seems you are not affected by this at all?"
Pei Niannu didn't even turn his head: "What's there to be afraid of when a person is already dead?"
Zhao Duan seemed to be lost in thought, and was very curious about Pei Niannu's cause of death and her current condition.
However, he had asked many times in the past, but the other party refused to say.
…
The two of them climbed up the stairs and then passed through several more floors.
Later on, the Luoshan jade on Zhao Duan's body became dull and almost on the verge of breaking.
Fortunately, they also reached the highest level.
“Huahua——”
This floor turned out to be a huge swimming pool, surrounded by mist. Zhao Duan held the lotus cautiously:
"Where is the Dragon Girl?"
Before he finished speaking, the sound of water was heard in the fog, and then a familiar girl's face appeared from the fog.
Her body is translucent, and her blood vessels and internal organs can be seen. Her long silver-white hair hangs down, and the two dragon horns on her head show that she is not "human".
As her body approached, Zhao Duan was surprised to see that the lower half of the dragon girl was actually a dragon's body, which was also translucent and covered with ice-blue scales.
The dragon girl stared at the two of them with cold eyes, her gaze falling on the green lotus.
Then, she seemed to be angry, the whole dream building shook, and the pool water boiled.
"Senior..." Zhao Duan sensed a huge sense of danger, his expression changed, and he wanted to retreat, but he saw Pei Niannu step forward, stretched out his hand to pick up the lotus, and sneered:
"Evil beast!"
Pei Niannu raised the scale bar in his hand, and powerful and terrifying forces gathered. Countless red silk threads flew out and tied up the dragon girl.
"Bang!!!"
Huge waves erupted from the pool, and Zhao Duan lost his balance and was blown away by the blast of air from the fighting between the two sides.
…
…
In reality, the battle between the two sides is still going on on the long street.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The Buddhist beads whizzed over and embedded themselves deeply into the ice on Zhao Duan's body.
“Crack!”
The ice layer that wrapped around Zhao Duan's body broke into spider-web-like cracks.
"My water...is not enough..." Ji Yue was panicked and almost crying.
The disheveled white-eyed sorceress flew to Zhao Duan, stretched out her hands as hard as she could, and sprayed water vapor from her palms, trying to condense an ice wall, but her speed was extremely slow.
She had almost completely extracted all the moisture from the air around here.
Ji Yue's magic power was also consumed a lot.
“Clatter—”
Another tide of moonlight surged, knocking down several Buddhist beads.
Jin Jian held the staff in both hands, but it was difficult for him to maintain his floating posture. He fell from the air and, together with Ji Yue, stood in front of the sleeping Zhao Duan.
The young priestess's face was panting, and the golden eye on the top of her staff was dim.
The moon behind him also began to flicker.
She can't stop it anymore!
The gap in realm and foundation cannot be simply erased.
"Senior Brother hasn't come back yet..." Jin Jian gritted his teeth, his heart filled with anxiety.
She could sense that the tiger in the distance had been defeated and it was only a matter of time before Zhong Pan defeated it. However, the tiger was extremely ferocious and held on to the little Taoist priest tightly, making it difficult for Zhong Pan to escape and provide assistance.
The golden bell shield around Guangyuan was also peeled off several layers by the flying sword, and Yuxiu's flying sword also slowed down a lot.
“Cough… cough cough…”
The skinny Diabolo coughed again, then smiled and walked closer:
"It seems that you have lost."
Diablo wasn't walking fast, but the two sides were not far apart.
At this moment, the Buddhist beads in the alms bowl were still flying like bullets, with no signs of stopping.
Kongzhu was right. He didn't have many tricks up his sleeve, and this was the only thing he had.
But just this bowl of Buddhist beads is enough to kill the two women.
However, his target was not Jin Jian and Ji Yue, but the sleeping Zhao Duan. He just wanted to kill this man.
He and Guangyuan would retreat and no longer fight.
And now, we are only one step away from killing the culprit who destroyed the Shenlong Temple.
"Let's go! Take him away! I'll hold him off for a while..."
Jin Jian suddenly embedded his staff into the floor tiles. The girl's legs trembled and she gasped.
She really couldn't beat the monk, but as a disciple of the Heavenly Master, the girl had a trump card to save her life.
However, it will only be passively triggered when life is truly in danger.
Jin Jian was ready to fight back desperately and use his trump card to resist.
Ji Yue gritted her teeth, rushed forward, and tried to pick up Zhao Duan, but unexpectedly a Buddhist bead suddenly broke through the obstruction of the golden tablet and hit her hard on the back!
"Wow!"
Ji Yue spat out a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground, turned his head to look back, and was shocked to find that Kong Zhu suddenly swung the bowl and threw it hard. The bowl spun with a "whoosh" sound and smashed the golden slip out like a huge rock.
He held back!
"Amitabha, I will take the life of Mr. Zhao."
Kongzhu chanted a Buddhist name, and without any more obstacles, he stepped in front of Zhao Duan.
Sloutoutuo flicked his fingers.
“Crack!”
The ice layer on Zhao Duan's body cracked and shattered, revealing his body inside. He was holding a knife and rushing forward, but his eyelids were tightly closed and frost was condensed on his eyebrows.
"No--"
Ji Yue let out a desperate wail.
Jin Jian and Yu Xiu also cast their gazes over at the same time.
Lang Shiba, who was fighting with the monk soldiers, suddenly turned around and looked back.
Further away, the young Taoist priest Zhong Pan nailed a tiger to the ground with a single sword strike. When he raised his head, he saw this scene and was shocked.
Kong Zhu smiled and pointed his finger straight at Zhao Duan's eyebrows.
It was as if he had seen the scene of Zhao Duan's death.
But at this moment, Kongzhu suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart!
He was stunned for a moment, and saw the sleeping Zhao Duan's eyebrows full of ice tremble, and his eyelids suddenly opened!
One of his pupils was silver, and the other was strangely translucent.
Look into each other's eyes.
Kong Zhu was stunned to see in the depths of his pupils a woman in a wedding dress and... a translucent little girl.
Dragon Girl?! How could this wild god appear in his eyes...
This was Kong Zhu's last thought. The next second, the eyelids of this high-ranking Buddhist master in the world snapped shut and he was pulled into a dream by the Dragon Girl!
Lost the power to resist!
The rotating alms bowl in the distance also lost its magical power and fell to the ground.
At the same time, the sword in Zhao Duan's hand suddenly stabbed out!
"puff!"
The blade pierced into Kong Zhu's lower abdomen and came out from the robes on his back!
The powerful energy flowed into Kongzhu's body through the sword, and in an instant, it crushed the monk's internal organs!
One knife.
The best in the world are killed!
Zhao Duan kicked the diabolo that was bleeding from all seven orifices away, pulled out his sword, and left a trail of blood on the ground. Then he raised the corners of his mouth and looked at Guangyuan with his strange eyes again.
"not good……"
Monk Guangyuan was suddenly startled and was about to run away, but when he caught a glimpse of Zhao Duan's gaze, he was affected by the power of the Dragon Girl and felt a strong sense of sleepiness.
The operation of the golden bell around him became sluggish.
"Kill!" Yuxiu's eyes lit up, and she seized the opportunity. She clasped her hands together, and the green jade flying sword pierced through the golden bell and passed over Monk Guangyuan's neck.
A bright red blood line emerged.
"Hehe..." Guangyuan covered his neck with one hand, held the staff in the other, his eyes widened, and he quickly retreated. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back.
A scarlet sword pierced his heart.
The second greatest person in the world has died!
Zhong Pan drew out his sword expressionlessly, glanced at Guangyuan's body, then turned his head and stared at the dozens of remaining monks.
A moment later.
The quiet streets were littered with corpses.
Zhao Duan stood with his sword in hand, turned his head, stretched out his hand to Ji Yue, who was shivering on the ground, and smiled:
"Still alive?"
Ji Yue was stunned for a moment, then cautiously stretched out her hand, which Zhao Duan grabbed tightly and pulled up.
"Xilulu." The unicorn horse hiding in the distance ran back pulling the carriage.
Yuxiu, Zhong Pan, Lang Shiba and others also came over with lingering fear. After confirming that all the enemies were dead, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Solved..."
The monks of Shenlong Temple were extremely powerful, and fortunately they finally won.
Immediately, several eyes turned to Zhao Duan at the same time, their eyes full of surprise.
…
Typos should be corrected first and then replaced
