Master Kongkong praised Lieyun's caution and kept his eyes fixed on Ji Xiaoxiao to prevent her from using any more underhanded tricks to harm Yueran.
"Master Kongkong, why don't you personally lend a hand to Sect Leader Yue?" Lie Yun asked, his attention constantly on Yue Ran and Ji Xiaoxiao's movements.
It's always better to lend a hand than to stand by and do nothing.
Master Kongkong chanted "Amitabha," and said, "Monks should not needlessly commit murder. Unless the situation is urgent and there is no other choice, this humble monk will never take action."
“Master Kongkong, that is a ruthless witch from the Demonic Sect who kills without blinking an eye. Your help is acting on behalf of Heaven, eliminating a scourge for the people, and is a great merit. How could it be adding to the bloodshed?”
Right is right, and evil is evil; evil people should confess their sins and accept death.
“Killing one person to save ten thousand is indeed as you say, Benefactor Lieyun, that is a great merit.” Master Kongkong agreed with Lieyun’s view of using killing to stop killing and save people from suffering.
"Then, Master Kongkong, you are..."
Master Kongkong clasped his hands together and glanced apologetically at Lieyun. He agreed with Lieyun's point of view, but that was not his code of conduct, and he could not act against his conscience.
"Killing someone to save them, Benefactor Lieyun, you should know that killing is still killing, it is committing a sin, no matter whether the victim was a good person for ten lifetimes or a wicked person."
As the Buddhists say, sweeping the floor may harm even ants, and moths should be protected by covering lamps with gauze. If one's thoughts are always filled with kindness, how much more so should one's thoughts be directed towards a living, breathing human being.
Everyone says that human life is of paramount importance, but aren't the members of the Demonic Cult also human?
Master Kongkong was compassionate, and eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path was the worst possible strategy to relieve suffering.
Lie Yun, clumsy with words, couldn't persuade the eloquent Master Kong Kong. Frustrated, he flung his sleeves and angrily challenged Ji Xiaoxiao to a duel to the death.
Ji Xiaoxiao felt slightly irritated as she saw Lie Yun rushing towards her like an arrow. She was seriously injured, and her cultivation level was not as high as Lie Yun's. She had no chance of winning against him.
"How about...?" Ji Xiaoxiao quickly glanced at Yue Ran.
"No, absolutely not."
The three puppets, each possessing combined strength, fought Yue Ran to a standstill, their skill evident in their seamless teamwork. For Ji Xiaoxiao to attempt to break up the Iron Triangle alliance would be tantamount to releasing a tiger back into the mountains, cutting off her own path to survival.
Puppets are lifeless and insensitive to pain, making them the most exquisite killing machines. The Yin Soul Puppet produced by Yin Soul Mountain is the best among them.
The Yin Soul Puppet has the potential for perpetual motion. As long as there is enough spiritual energy in the surrounding air, the spirit-stealing array engraved in the Yin Soul Puppet's body will activate on its own, continuously stealing spiritual energy to power the puppet's movement.
Currently, Yue Ran is evenly matched with the three puppets, but as time goes on, the puppets' power diminishes, and Yue Ran becomes exhausted, no longer at her peak. The puppets can easily defeat Yue Ran; the only question is how long it will take.
Unable to summon a puppet for protection, Ji Xiaoxiao had no choice but to grit her teeth and risk her life.
"Witch, this time I will not let you have another chance."
Lie Yun shouted, and the surrounding fire elemental energy rapidly converged and surged towards him.
"Burning Heaven Flame Palm".
As Lie Yun finished speaking, six enormous fiery palms appeared in Ji Xiaoxiao's six directions: front, back, left, right, up, and down.
Ji Xiaoxiao's spiritual power was greatly depleted, and she could not unleash the Spiritual Power Explosion again.
"What to do? What to do? What to do?"
With nowhere to go but to heaven and nowhere to go but to earth, Ji Xiaoxiao had nowhere to escape but to fight a desperate battle.
"etc."
Ji Xiaoxin's mind stirred, and just as she was about to unleash her ultimate move, You Ran appeared out of thin air, startling her greatly.
"Senior Brother You Ran!"
Ji Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise as she turned around to look around. "Huh, where are my dad and mom?"
You Ran stepped forward and hugged Ji Xiaoxiao, smiling as she said, "Master and Mistress are still on their way, they'll be there soon."
Will you be there soon?
Ji Xiaoxiao secretly glanced at Yue Ran and the others, then looked at You Ran, who was practically skin and bones. You Ran could crush her with a single finger in a second!
Oh dear, you made me happy for nothing.
Ji Xiaoxiao nudged You Ran, telling her that she didn't have time to spend with him right now.
The flaming palm is extremely powerful and requires complete concentration; one cannot afford to be distracted.
You Ran wore a roguish smile and hugged Ji Xiaoxiao even tighter.
Trapped with no way to escape, Ji Xiaoxiao was in a very bad mood. You Ran's actions only added fuel to the fire, fueling Ji Xiaoxiao's anger.
Ji Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, about to curse You Ran, but the scenery before her eyes began to distort, followed by complete darkness. When the light returned, Ji Xiaoxiao and You Ran had already escaped the encirclement of Lie Yun's fiery palms.
"What kind of magic is this? It's amazing."
Ji Xiaoxiao looked up at You Ran, whose face was pale, clearly indicating that she was injured.
Ugh, another false alarm!
It's no use. Although they've escaped from the fiery palm, they're still surrounded by Yue Ran, Lie Yun, and Kong Kong.
Ji Xiaoxiao gently stepped out of You Ran's arms and patted his back. "You should rest well. You shouldn't have gotten involved in this."
Some men deserve to be protected by women.
After this incident, in Ji Xiaoxiao's mind, You Ran was a delicate and frail Lin Daiyu.
You Ran opened her mouth as if to explain, but Ji Xiaoxiao turned and left.
Gone? Just like that?
Hey, junior sister, you've been rushing around the Nine Provinces in a flurry of activity, wouldn't you like to hear your senior brother's explanation?
Ji Xiaoxiao was destined never to hear the melodious voice in her heart.
Lie Yun's expression darkened as he watched Ji Xiaoxiao escape his deadly move.
"Witch, your helpers seem to be of no use. You might as well just accept your death."
Ji Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow and gave Lie Yun the middle finger.
"I can take care of you all by myself, you old geezer."
"Hmph, now all you're good for is talking nonsense."
With a wave of his hand, Lie Yun quickly conjured a fire dragon, which flew towards Ji Xiaoxiao. He followed closely behind, intending to take the opportunity to severely injure Ji Xiaoxiao.
Ji Xiaoxiao took a step back, and suddenly the world was filled with dazzling light.
As the light faded, the arrival of Sikong and Kagura startled the leisurely Master Kongkong.
"Demon Lord, Kagura."
"Old bald monk, all bald head."
The two had known each other for a long time, but their eyes were strange, as if they had a tangled old relationship.
Sikong Buyue stood in front of Kagura, angrily saying, "Siming, how dare you show your face in front of me? Are you tired of living?"
