Chapter 99: The Evil Buddha's Power
Chapter 99: The Evil Buddha's Power
At that moment, above the ancient city, the Evil Buddha murmured.
Gu Qingfeng instantly felt his blood surge, an uncontrollable urge to abandon resistance rising within him. He wanted to walk to the Blood Lotus and serve the Evil Buddha.
However, the moment this thought arose, Gu Qingfeng's will became as sharp as a blade, severing the foreign notion.
Suddenly, the scene before him changed. He found himself inside the ancient city, enveloped by a terrifying and chilling aura.
Behind him was the city gate. Without hesitation, Gu Qingfeng turned and retreated.
But as he turned to leave, the chilling aura erupted, and a Buddha's palm descended from the void, blocking the heavens and earth.
The sun and moon dimmed, and blood spread everywhere. The Evil Slayer Blade trembled violently, but Gu Qingfeng's expression remained calm. His physical energy exploded, like a blazing sun rising, the intense heat evaporating the chilling aura.
Then, he drew his long sword, his spirit, energy, and mind converging.
"Overlord Slash!!"
Gu Qingfeng roared, delivering a tyrannical slash that seemed capable of splitting mountains and severing the earth. The blinding blade light, like the first ray of dawn, struck the Buddha's palm.
In the next instant, a deafening explosion echoed.
A terrifying force crushed down, and Gu Qingfeng's body was hurled away like a projectile. But before he hit the ground, he twisted his body mid-air and delivered another slash, cutting through the space and escaping the ancient city.
The entire process happened in a split second.
Seeing Gu Qingfeng depart, the Buddha's bleeding eyes finally showed a glimmer of anger. A clear sword mark appeared on His golden palm, with blood dripping from the wound. But within a breath, the wound vanished.
Outside the ancient city, Gu Qingfeng retreated ten miles. He stood still, forcibly circulating his energy to expel the chilling aura that had invaded his body.
"Phew!"
Gu Qingfeng exhaled, and the ground instantly frosted over, with all vegetation withering.
"Disaster-level evil spirits are indeed extraordinary. If I had truly been trapped, I might have perished here!"
Gu Qingfeng looked at the Evil Buddha in the ancient city, who was also staring back. Their eyes met, and the Evil Buddha's bleeding eyes were filled with brutality and the desire to kill.
This was Gu Qingfeng's first encounter with a disaster-level evil spirit. The latter's power was immense, causing him immense pressure.
If they were to face off directly, he would stand no chance against the Evil Buddha.
Even reaching the second stage of the Internal Organs Refinement, or even the fifth stage, or breaking through to the Master level, might not be enough to match this Evil Buddha.
Before witnessing a disaster-level evil spirit, Gu Qingfeng had tried to imagine their power. Now, he finally understood what it truly meant to be a disaster-level evil spirit.
Cloud Mountain City was doomed!
No!
To be precise, the entire Nine Curves Path was doomed!
The mages from the major sects and noble families were like lambs to the slaughter, all being killed and suppressed by the Evil Buddha. The evil spirits they carried were reduced to the Evil Buddha's sustenance.
Just moments ago.
The Evil Buddha had devoured other malevolent spirits, significantly boosting its own power, and thus managed to expand the Forbidden Zone. This caught Gu Qingfeng off guard, pulling him into the Forbidden Zone’s range.
Fortunately, Gu Qingfeng reacted swiftly and managed to escape.
At this moment.
Gu Qingfeng’s fear of the Evil Buddha had reached an unprecedented level.
With the continuous growth of this malevolent spirit, the Forbidden Zone would undoubtedly continue to expand. Gu Qingfeng even suspected that if the Evil Buddha were allowed to grow unchecked, it might eventually engulf the entire Nine Bend Path.
Dealing with a malevolent spirit of this caliber would not be easy.
“Not only is there the issue of the malevolent spirits—”
“Now, the thousand-year-old families and sects like the Zhuo Clan have suffered heavy losses. This will likely cause significant turmoil in the future!”
Gu Qingfeng gazed at the twisted bodies on the other Blood Lotus, his eyes turning cold.
Fortunately, he had not truly joined the battle.
Otherwise.
There would likely be one more person trapped in the Blood Lotus.
He took a long, hard look at the Evil Buddha hovering above the ancient city before turning and leaving.
With the Evil Buddha’s immense power, it was beyond his current capabilities to deal with.
A Half-Step Grandmaster!
In the face of a truly powerful malevolent spirit, they were nothing but ants.
If such a malevolent spirit were to appear in White Stone Path, the fate of the Gu Family Manor would be all too clear.
For a moment.
Gu Qingfeng considered relocating the Gu Family Manor away from White Stone Path, but this thought was quickly suppressed.
Relocating from White Stone Path would be easy.
But the problem was.
The world was in chaos, with malevolent spirits and strange phenomena rampant. There was no guarantee that any other place would be any safer.
Moreover, in an unfamiliar place, the complex power dynamics would make it difficult for the Gu Family Manor to carve out a new territory.
In comparison.
White Stone Path was relatively safe for now.
The Evil Buddha existed in the Nine Bend Path, and it was uncertain if it would affect White Stone Path.
Therefore.
Leaving was not an option.
Unless it became absolutely necessary, the foundation in White Stone Path could not be abandoned.
—
When Gu Qingfeng returned to the Gu Family Manor, it was already three days later.
During his absence, the Gu Family Manor had remained peaceful.
In the current White Stone Path, the Gu Family Manor was the true authority. Even the reputation of the imperial government was not as influential as the former.
The name "Gu Qingfeng, the Tyrant Blade" alone could intimidate all sorts of troublemakers.
Upon Gu Qingfeng’s return, Gu Yang came to meet him immediately.
“Father, did you discover anything during your trip to the Nine Bend Path?”
His expression was curious.
Gu Qingfeng’s face, however, was grave and solemn. He said in a serious tone, “The strong from the noble families and sects of Guangyang Prefecture are finished. The malevolent spirit in the Nine Bend Path is a Catastrophe-level existence.
When I entered the Nine Bend Path, I saw the Evil Buddha towering in the sky, suppressing an entire city. All the nobles and sect masters became its food.”
“This news will likely spread throughout Guangyang Prefecture soon.”
“With the world in chaos and the strength of the noble families and sects in Guangyang Prefecture diminished, it could lead to other consequences.”
“So, in the coming days, keep a close eye on the situation in the world. Report any sudden developments to me immediately.”
Gu Qingfeng’s words made Gu Yang’s expression equally grave, and he nodded in agreement.
A Catastrophe-level malevolent spirit. From just a few words from Gu Qingfeng, he could understand the terrifying nature of such a spirit.
