Fan Lang launched his attack. His sword targeted Abbot Qing Kong, while the Tathagata Dharma Body targeted the Golden Buddha.
Both struck at once, their offensive power dominating heaven and earth. A sword swept through the sky, severing right and wrong, severing all things in the world.
The Tathagata Dharma Body's finger was like a meteor, piercing through the firmament. Its fingertip rubbed against the air with an earth-shaking roar, turning into a blinding red light.
The reason Fan Lang could use the Tathagata Staff-Sword's ultimate killing move was simply because he had cheated and modified his Good and Evil Value, locking it at its maximum. As a result, the Tathagata Staff-Sword completely acknowledged him.
Only a "greatly good person" like him could wield the Tathagata Staff-Sword's true power!
Rumble!
The Tathagata Dharma Body's hand descended upon the earth like a colossal pillar, even larger than the Golden Buddha. As if crushing an ant, it furiously slammed the Golden Buddha into the ground and shattered it alive.
At the same time, Fan Lang's sword swept across Abbot Qing Kong's neck, cutting him in two and separating head from body.
Both Abbot Qing Kong's head and body burst into flames, withering and charring beneath the blaze.
Using Buddha to destroy Buddha, he slew Abbot Qing Kong!
"Amitabha... This old monk cannot escape this calamity..."
Abbot Qing Kong uttered the final Buddhist invocation of his life, then turned to ashes and vanished.
No auspicious vision of rebirth in paradise appeared, meaning he had fallen into reincarnation after death and had not attained enlightenment.
Sage Emperor Fan Sha had betrayed the Buddhist faith and founded his own school. Many of his beliefs did not fully align with Buddhism. Abbot Qing Kong had chosen to support Fan Sha, which likewise counted as betraying Buddhism.
