124 Evil Buddha, evil demon?
At this moment, the Black Wind Chieftain finally revealed his smiling Buddha face, letting out an uneasy laugh. 'Hahahaha! I've finally come back to life.'
He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping coldly over his surroundings. A wicked smile played on his lips.
Then, looking at He Chen in front of him, he suddenly scrutinized him closely. His expression changed, and he suddenly felt regretful. He muttered to himself.
Why didn't you come sooner? Now you've lost out big time. Your body is truly perfect! Even more perfect than gold and jade. It's mine; I want your body.
However, I've only just acquired this body. Once I've adapted to it, I'll take over yours.
At this moment, it seemed that the Black Wind Chieftain's appearance was about to be revealed again.
The Smiling Buddha quickly snatched it back, saying, "Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill your wish. I will properly deal with these invaders. And your master, I will take care of him as well. Go in peace."
Then, a golden lotus suddenly appeared in his palm, enveloping a wisp of the Black Wind Chieftain's soul. The Black Wind Chieftain, seeing this golden lotus, paused for a moment, then entered without hesitation.
The moment it entered, the golden lotus suddenly transformed. It was no longer a golden lotus; it was a terrifying, enormous black maw. With a snap, the maw swallowed the soul whole.
A gurgling sound came from inside, followed by a faint scream.
The Smiling Buddha smiled and said, "Farewell, benefactor. I will fulfill your wish. Life is so bitter. Happiness is in my belly!"
Then he turned around and carefully examined He Chen. Suddenly, a golden light flashed from the lotus flower behind him.
Golden light shimmered all around. Beneath his feet lay a lotus throne, his robes transformed into those of a Buddha. "Benefactor, take refuge in me. Believe in me, and all your wishes will be fulfilled. Gold and silver jewels, luxurious carriages and beautiful women. The ultimate bliss on earth."
After he finished speaking, the surrounding area was filled with countless gold and silver jewels. Various carriages and beautiful women—some graceful and charming, others mature and alluring, all breathtakingly beautiful.
It's as if you are a king on earth, with three thousand beauties at your disposal. You're so happy you'd forget all your troubles!
Then he said, 'Kneel down and sincerely worship me. Your heart's desires will be fulfilled.'
He Chen laughed loudly, "I think there are neither Buddhas nor immortals in this world. Is that alright?"
The Smiling Buddha's expression changed drastically. He roared angrily, "Such blasphemy! Kneel down now! I'll spare your life. Otherwise, you'll face mountains of knives and seas of fire, your corpse scattering like dust!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the previously alluring scene vanished instantly, replaced by a raging inferno. People were burning amidst the flames, a sight that horrified onlookers.
His divine sense remained constantly active. This was no luxury car or beautiful women; it was nothing more than severed limbs. Moreover, upon closer inspection of the Smiling Buddha, his divine sense detected a section of hand bone near the Black Wind Chieftain's heart, appearing extremely eerie.
"You're already a dead man," he shouted. "To grant other people's wishes is just courting death!" Then, lightning and fire surged on the Gentleman's Blade, ready to attack.
Suddenly the scenery changed drastically.
Above a magnificent palace, graceful young women thronged. A breathtaking array of clothing greeted them: sailor uniforms, miniskirts, ensembles of beauties in red, black, pink, blue, green, and formal gowns—everything they desired had come true.
These beautiful young women shouted in unison, "Husband, come here quickly!" Meanwhile, on the other side, a top scholar in a luxurious carriage arrived. He could see all the world's beauties in a single day.
My mind is clear at this moment. There is no fluctuation whatsoever. I slowly sense this change. It is not an illusion, nor is it a maze of illusions.
It's an illusion. To be able to recognize this illusion, so captivating, even after only reaching the Martial King level, is truly astounding! And this is just a bone fragment; if it were intact, it would be terrifying.
At this moment, his full power was unleashed, displaying the overwhelming aura of a Martial Emperor! Wind and lightning surged around him, and flames roared all around. It was as if he were engulfed in a sea of fire. Lightning flashed, and he stood amidst the lightning.
All around, wind, thunder, and fire raged, and a strange spectacle unfolded. An aura of unparalleled power filled the world, as if it had annihilated all evil spirits and bizarre demonic influences with a single strike.
The Illusionary Realm of Beacon Fire reopened, and the Smiling Buddha was instantly trapped within it. Thunder crackled in the sky, as if to electrocute the demon alive. Flames surged from the ground, threatening to burn the world to ashes.
The beautiful young woman from just moments ago... Suddenly, the luxury cars and horses emitted a pungent, burnt smell.
The thunder and fire burned ever brighter, seemingly about to engulf the Laughing Buddha. Then, the smile vanished. Suddenly, a bone fragment appeared on his chest.
A狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) human face was visible on the hand bone. Unbelievable. 'If you are the Martial Emperor, how could you possibly hide it from me? Impossible! Which old ghost are you impersonating? You actually tried to deceive me.'
He thought to himself, 'If I had known you were the Martial Emperor, I would have left long ago. This is a huge problem.'
The Illusion of Beacon Fire reopened. He Chen felt as if he were the king within, while the Smiling Buddha was affected by the beacon fire, especially the thunder and flames. Although they couldn't sense the true temperature, these strange beings were particularly afraid of the thunder and flames, instantly putting them at a disadvantage.
He leaped into the air, gathering his strength, and unleashed a swift and powerful strike, his blade slashing down from mid-air towards the hand bone in the chest. It was as if he intended to cleave the chest in two.
At the same time, he no longer held back and unleashed another thousand-slash attack.
At the same moment, a thousand gentleman's knives attacked from all directions, their target aimed directly at his chest and hand bones. The Smiling Buddha was stunned. He stared at the incoming blades, his eyes darting around.
The hand bone suddenly flew out and soared into the sky. The escape was about to begin.
He Chen didn't even look. He held the gentleman's knife in his hand and slashed horizontally at his chest. The direction didn't change at all.
The Black Wind Stronghold Chief was severed in two at the chest. Meanwhile, the hand bones high in the sky appeared in all directions, up, down, left, and right. The Gentleman's Blade, enveloped in the aura of thunder and fire, suddenly unleashed a variety of slashing, thrusting, and chopping techniques.
He started hacking at the hand bones indiscriminately.
Then the lightning and fire energy on the blade ignited the air, and the bones in his hand were quickly set ablaze.
A hideous, malevolent face suddenly appeared on the hand bones, crackling with lightning. A bloodcurdling scream erupted, accompanied by vicious curses: 'Release me now, or you will be condemned to eternal damnation!'
He Chen laughed loudly, "This is enough. Why need a next life? If this is all we have, why look back?"
He soared through the air, his hands unleashing a torrent of lightning and fire energy that transformed into a vast net, swiftly enveloping the hand bones and the malevolent face. Then, it rapidly ignited within. Thunder and lightning flashed, like the first clap of spring thunder, scareing away the evil spirit. The Samadhi True Fire burned fiercely, quickly incinerating the soul.
The hand bones quickly turned to ashes. They fluttered in the wind, as if they had never existed.
He extended his divine sense and quickly arrived beside the Black Wind Chieftain. He took the Qiankun bag beside the chieftain in his hand. Then, as if entering his own home, he found a hidden compartment.
