Chapter 193: The Obstacle of Bodhimanda`! Time to Teach Them a Lesson!
A chilling aura surged, rippling through the surroundings.
A hundred zhang away.
A monk, clad in a kasaya and adorned with a dignified aura, stood with palms pressed together, slowly shaking his head as he spoke, "There's no need for this, benefactor. I mean no harm."
Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and as his right hand reached out, the Demon Head Great Saber had already fallen into his palm.
With his current Primordial Spirit's perception, he hadn't even noticed when the monk had appeared!
It should be known that although a hundred zhang is far, for a Martial Saint, it's almost like being face-to-face!
This monk was powerful!
"Who are you?"
Qin Zheng's aura locked onto the monk, and he asked cautiously.
The monk made a slight bow and replied, "I am Vixin Monarch from Bodhimanda. Pleased to meet you, Benefactor Qin."
Upon hearing these words, Qin Zheng's pupils constricted slightly.
Bodhimanda.
One of the six super-first-class forces outside of the Great Jin Dynasty!
Why would someone from Bodhimanda appear here?
And they even knew his name!
Qin Zheng tightened his grip on the Demon Head Great Saber, staring coldly at the monk without saying a word.
Not knowing the monk's intentions, the best response to such an unusual force was to remain silent.
Vixin Monarch didn't mind, and he didn't even take a step towards Qin Zheng, remaining in his original position.
However, as his lips moved, his words continued:
"White Cloud, Yellow Rock, and Thousand Crane Demon Caverns invaded the Great Jin, killing Li Wuyi and causing the fall of Yanzhou, leaving the land in ruins and its people in misery."
"As the National Guardian Saint of the Great Jin, you've ventured beyond the borders to annihilate the Demon Caverns and exert your might. That should be enough."
"But if you continue to seek trouble with other Demon Caverns, are you not afraid of breaking the peace between the Demon Race and the Great Jin, triggering a major war?"
"Know that among the eighteen Martial Saints of the Great Jin, there are also powerful beings capable of annihilating the surrounding Demon Caverns. Yet, why haven't they taken action?"
Qin Zheng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "What are you trying to say?"
Vixin Monarch let out a soft sigh, not directly answering Qin Zheng's question. Instead, he turned the conversation and continued,
"The Martial Saint Realm is divided into nine levels, with three levels per stage, categorized as Initial, Middle, and Advanced."
"But even within the same realm, the actual strength gap is like the difference between a Supreme Grandmaster and a Martial Saint!"
"The Demon Race is similar, with the Great Sage Realm also divided into Lower, Middle, and Upper Realms."
"The Demon Caverns lurking around the Great Jin have already been screened and expelled, leaving only the weakest ones behind."
"This maintains balance and reduces the pressure on the National Guardian Saints of the Great Jin."
"But if you recklessly destroy these Demon Caverns and slay the Lower Realm Great Sages, when the positions are filled again, they will only be replaced by even more powerful Demon Race Great Sages!"
"Moreover, this is not the Great Jin. By wantonly annihilating the Demon Caverns and slaying Great Sages here, you will undoubtedly attract the attention of Middle Realm and above Demon Race Great Sages."
"When that happens, how will you, with your newfound strength, face Demon Race Great Sages who are ten times more powerful than you?"
Vixin Monarch's words were filled with persuasion, his tone sincere. Upon careful consideration, his words seemed to genuinely have Qin Zheng's best interests at heart.
"Sigh."
Vixin Monarch suddenly sighed and continued, "Bodhimanda only seeks the path of wisdom and is not a place of evil that devours people. Why do you hold such a grudge against us, benefactor?"
Qin Zheng nodded and calmly replied, "If it weren't for the hidden brainwashing sounds in your voice, I might have believed you."
"But you constantly try to cleanse my Primordial Spirit and distort my perception. You ask why I hold a grudge against you?!"
His voice grew colder, and at the moment he finished his last word—
Boom!!
Qin Zheng stomped on the ground, and as the ground exploded, his entire body instantly surged forward!
The Demon Head Great Saber, emanating a formidable killing aura, slashed down fiercely!
Boom!!
Under the mighty saber light, the ground trembled, and a hundred-zhang-long fissure suddenly appeared.
The monk's figure, however, had appeared on a mountain peak a hundred zhang to the right.
"Forget it, since that's how you feel, I have no choice but to take you back to the sect. Through Buddhist teachings and enlightenment, I will ordain you as a monk, and from then on, you will abstain from meat and chant sutras, striving for the Buddhist path of enlightenment!"
The monk slowly lowered his palms, and at this moment, his aura rapidly surged, surpassing Qin Zheng in just a few breaths!
A faint golden light emanated from his body, and one could vaguely see numerous energy points appearing within his body.
Then, the monk's calm expression turned into a glare, and his aura became aggressively intimidating.
Taking a step forward, he approached Qin Zheng, his body shimmering with golden light.
"If you won't listen to the compassionate Dharma, then experience the Vajra Glare!"
The monk extended his hand and, looking at Qin Zheng, struck down with a palm.
The overwhelming aura and pressure, far surpassing his own, pinned Qin Zheng down, rendering him almost immobile!
"Jade Ruyi!!!"
In that instant, Qin Zheng controlled his Primordial Spirit, forcibly activating the Jade Ruyi in his hand.
A powerful suction force emerged, and Qin Zheng felt his Primordial Spirit's power being rapidly drained, as if it were flowing into an endless abyss.
But at that very moment, the Jade Ruyi, infused with Primordial Spirit power, instantly emitted a radiant glow.
Seizing the Opportunity!
Q
A
Boom!!
The speed and movement of the primordial spirit were several times faster than the monk's.
B
A thunderous boom followed, and the monk's body was embedded in the ground, with cracks spreading out.
The monk's aura rapidly diminished, like sand in an hourglass, visible to the naked eye.
S
But at that moment, a strong sense of weakness surged, as if it would dissipate if it didn't return to the Spirit Mansion.
The primordial spirit took a step back, returning to the Spirit Mansion, closing its eyes and sitting in meditation, no longer concerning itself with worldly affairs.
Outside.
Qin Zheng's face also turned pale instantly.
After achieving the Martial Saint realm, the primordial spirit and physical body shared the same fate.
T
Humm! At this moment, within his physical body, five energy points glowed like stars.
A force emerged, swiftly alleviating the body's weakness.
True Dragon Unextinguishable Body! This technique produced an effect that Qin Zheng had not anticipated!
With his body temporarily restored, Qin Zheng's gaze shifted to the monk, whose aura had already plummeted to its lowest point.
"Spare me!" The monk, sensing Qin Zheng's murderous intent, struggled to speak.
Bang! Without hesitation, Qin Zheng stomped on the monk's head.
A mighty force exploded, splattering blood and flesh.
Activating the Heavenly Eye, Qin Zheng confirmed that the monk's divine soul had been completely annihilated, and his primordial spirit had dissipated.
Qin Zheng's body staggered slightly.
A
Without hesitation, Qin Zheng turned and headed towards the Great Jin Dynasty.
Currently, his injuries were not minor, and his full strength could not be exerted. If he encountered a few Demon Clan Saints, it would be dangerous!
Just as Qin Zheng was about to take a step, he hesitated slightly, turning his gaze towards the monk's headless corpse.
Demons had demon cores, but the Human Race did not possess such items. However, it seemed that the monk might have a Bodhimanda relic.
Qin Zheng reached out, lifted the headless corpse, and with a stomp, soared into the sky!
With the demons swept away, the National Guardian Saint arrived.
This demon disaster was finally resolved.
The fallen Lingzhou and Yanzhou were once again under the control of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Wang Qingfeng traversed thousands of miles, inspecting the remaining traces in Yanzhou.
In a single day, the demon hordes had wreaked havoc, resulting in a loss of at least forty percent of Yanzhou's population.
Fortunately, with the demons driven out and slain, Yanzhou, now devoid of demons, would enjoy a century of peaceful development.
As Wang Qingfeng thought this, his gaze fell upon a hundred-foot-tall elephant that had been dead for some time.
The aura of the Demon Clan Saint continued to emanate from the elephant's corpse.
However, Wang Qingfeng merely glanced at it before withdrawing his gaze and looking towards a distant cliff.
With a stride, he instantly arrived before the corpse of Li Jia Laozu.
Seeing his former comrade now lifeless, Wang Qingfeng's emotions surged, feeling a mix of complexity.
The Martial Saint realm was the ultimate destination for countless martial artists of the Great Jin Dynasty.
However, after achieving the Martial Saint realm, freedom became a thing of the past.
Guarding territories, suppressing demon dens, and sitting alone day after day, the only company they had were those who revered them, with none to confide in.
This was the fate of the Great Jin Dynasty's National Guardian Saints, guarding the land of the Human Race for centuries, until one day they perished on the battlefield.
Wang Qingfeng sighed softly.
"Senior Li died on the border and should be enshrined in our ancestral hall, receiving the incense offerings of the Great Jin Dynasty."
At that moment, a voice sounded beside him.
A figure clad in dragon-embroidered robes appeared at his side.
Tall and imposing, with thick eyebrows and a fierce gaze, an aura of authority emanated from him.
Wang Qingfeng nodded slightly, saying no more.
"Did Brother Qingfeng deal with the demons in Lingzhou and Yanzhou?" Wang Fulong turned to Wang Qingfeng.
"It wasn't me," Wang Qingfeng shook his head. His eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "It was the newly ascended Martial Saint."
Wang Fulong nodded, not surprised, as if he had known this all along.
"Qin Zheng of Qingzhou, in his presence, even the most talented martial artists of the Great Jin Dynasty would pale in comparison."
He spoke slowly, his tone filled with emotion.
"He killed Gao Xinghang." Wang Fulong continued.
Hearing this, Wang Qingfeng's eyebrows furrowed, and a flash of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"With this trip to Yanzhou, the Gao Clan won't let him off, nor will they let me off." Wang Fulong's words continued.
Bang!
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared, landing behind Wang Fulong and Wang Qingfeng.
"Brother Fulong, your predictions are like divine insight. Gao must bid you farewell and wish you a safe journey!"
