Human Dao Heavenly Eye, Dragon-Subduing Near Death

"Senior Brother, we are incompetent. We've troubled you to act personally and even caused our junior brother, Alms-Bowl, to be so severely injured."

Subduing Tiger, who had been about to raise his hand, lowered it again. He stood beside Dragon-Subduing with his head bowed, his gaze towards Alms-Bowl Arhat filled with guilt.

"It was fated for Alms-Bowl to face this tribulation, but it is not your fault."

Dragon-Subduing handed Alms-Bowl Arhat to Subduing Tiger and refocused his attention on Wen Zhong, who was rubbing his fists together.

As a top disciple of the third generation of the Intercepting Sect, Wen Zhong was indeed difficult to deal with. Just one step behind, and he had easily torn open the battle and severely wounded Alms-Bowl.

And that Heavenly Eye between his brows, capable of shattering the Spiritual Treasure Golden Alms-Bowl, was likely not weaker than some Innate Spiritual Treasures. He had to be more careful; it was best not to engage him in combat.

However, that one person was watching from the shadows. He valued the reputation of the Western Teachings the most. If he easily let Wen Zhong leave...

Sigh! This is truly difficult!

"You are all cultivators. Instead of cultivating and enjoying yourselves on immortal mountains and treasure islands, you come to the mortal world to aid evil and commit violence, merely attracting karma. Do you have too long a lifespan and are tired of living!"

Wen Zhong mounted the Ink Jade Qilin, his Male and Female Twin Whips switching hands, the tips pointing directly at Dragon-Subduing's head as he roared.

"The Human Race in the Northern Sea lives a life of misery, driven by greed, killing, and resentment under the oppression of Yin Shang. They do not do good deeds and thus do not receive good karma, ultimately only falling into the Avici Hell. My sect pities all living beings and cannot bear to see them suffer, so we have come to ask the Grand Tutor to stop, and grant the Northern Sea and all its creatures a pure land."

Dragon-Subduing's eyes showed compassion, and his words carried a subtle, inexplicable charm that made people involuntarily want to listen, understand, and obey.

This was the most peculiar Dharma of the Western Teachings, and also the divine ability that most disgusted others—Conversion and Salvation!

Although Dragon-Subduing had only grasped a sliver of it, it had already plunged Wen Zhong into self-doubt.

"The Northern Sea is inherently harsh, and Yin Shang's oppression is too severe. What's wrong with resisting? What do you call resisting? This is called emergency avoidance!"

"Yin Shang attacks the Northern Sea vassals, and the Northern Sea vassals rise up in resistance. What do you call this? This is called self-defense!"

"I want to kill someone, and someone comes to persuade me not to kill, not to accumulate more karma. As a cultivator, it's inappropriate. What do you call this? This is called having reason and evidence! Are there any problems? No problems!"

Wen Zhong's mind churned, a strange voice echoing incessantly in his sea of consciousness, causing him to involuntarily lower his Male and Female Twin Whips. His eyes were filled with a dazed look.

"As expected of Senior Brother Dragon-Subduing. With one move, he has rendered Wen Zhong unable to fight back."

"Hush! Keep your voice down. Don't disrupt Dragon-Subduing's divine ability."

"Hmph! Salvation is the supreme secret method of our sect. Those from the Intercepting Sect only cultivate their magic power, not their Dao heart. To think they can break free from the salvation divine ability is wishful thinking!"

Subduing Tiger painfully took out a spiritual pill and placed it in Alms-Bowl's mouth. Hearing the hushed whispers of Hand-Reaching Arhat and River-Crossing Arhat, he couldn't help but retort.

The West was already barren. To obtain this spiritual pill that could heal injuries to the golden body, he had spent three thousand years collecting spiritual herbs. Only then did he enter the Medicine Master Glazed Realm and ask Medicine Master Glazed Buddha for help. At the cost of two-thirds of the spiritual herbs, he obtained two spiritual pills.

He never expected that before he could even taste them, he had already fed one to Alms-Bowl!

This deal was a huge loss!

"My master is merciful. Wen Zhong, if not now, when will you put down the butcher's knife?"

Seeing that Wen Zhong was completely bewitched by his divine ability, Dragon-Subduing roared. The Male and Female Twin Whips in Wen Zhong's hand fell to the ground in response!

"It's done!"

Dragon-Subduing was overjoyed and reached out to take the twin whips for himself, but suddenly froze. His divine sense was instantly pulled into his sea of consciousness!

And within his sea of consciousness at this moment, dark clouds had already gathered, waves were surging, thunder was cracking, and it was in turmoil!

Above the sea, a golden eye materialized amidst the thunder. The seven emotions and six desires manifested within the eye, yet it strangely lacked any emotional color. It was wild yet rational, contradictory yet logical, like the manifestation of rules, sending shivers down one's spine!

As soon as Dragon-Subduing's divine sense entered his sea of consciousness, the Heavenly Eye opened and closed. A pale purple lightning bolt, carrying immense power, descended upon his head instantly. While he was caught off guard, it struck him down into the sea of consciousness!

Intercepting Sect's secret method: Supreme Clarity Divine Thunder!

"My Heavenly Eye can distinguish good from evil, identify loyalty and treachery. Externally, it can see directly into people's hearts; internally, it can suppress the seven emotions and six desires! How dare you flaunt your petty mind-manipulating techniques before me. You truly don't know the meaning of death!"

Wen Zhong laughed heartily, his voice turning into wind and thunder, echoing incessantly in Dragon-Subduing's sea of consciousness!

"However, since you seek death, then this Grand Tutor will fulfill your wish! Supreme Clarity Divine Thunder! Kill!"

As Wen Zhong's voice fell, a beam of white light shot out from his Heavenly Eye. Wind and thunder raged upon the white light. Wherever it passed, even this sea of consciousness space turned into nothingness!

"Roar!"

Caught off guard by the divine thunder, Dragon-Subduing's divine body was torn and bleeding, his divine sense damaged, and his vital energy greatly depleted!

Before he could even catch his breath, Wen Zhong's even more ferocious killing blow seemed to have locked onto him and instantly arrived before him!

Can't dodge, I'll fight with all I've got! I hope Subduing Tiger's spiritual pill is useful for healing the Primordial Spirit too!

Dragon-Subduing gritted his teeth, turned, and transformed into a hundred-zhang golden dragon. His dragon tail, carrying the power of the sea of consciousness, struck the white light!

--Boom!

The moment the two collided, the sea of consciousness instantly turned upside down, with monstrous waves surging. The entire state of mind trembled, cracked, and finally shattered into pieces!

"Pfft!"

In the Great Desolation, Subduing Tiger and the three Arhats' laughter had not yet subsided when Dragon-Subduing spat out blood hundreds of meters. His golden body rapidly dimmed, like a candle in the wind, maintaining only a faint glimmer of light.

"He has a killing move, quickly, let's go!"

Dragon-Subduing opened his eyes, which were also dim and lusterless. With all his might, he pointed at Wen Zhong, who was regrouping, and then passed out again!

"Dragon-Subduing! You dog, Wen Zhong, I'll fight you to the death!"

Subduing Tiger roared, a fierce tiger appearing behind him. Just as he was about to fight again, he was stopped by Hand-Reaching and River-Crossing:

"Brother Subduing Tiger, Brother Dragon-Subduing's injuries are serious!"

"The enemy is ferocious, and they also possess powerful and strange killing divine abilities. We should make a detour!"

"You damned Taoists, none of you will escape today!"

Wen Zhong patted the Ink Jade Qilin, which understood and spread its limbs, galloping and transforming into an ink-black light that rapidly approached the three!

Within the ink-black light, Wen Zhong raised his Male and Female Twin Whips high, which shone with golden light, momentarily exuding unparalleled might!

"Don't even think about escaping, take another whip from me!"

Seeing that Wen Zhong was still full of vigor after heavily injuring the two, Subduing Tiger felt a chill down his spine: This Wen Zhong is truly ferocious!

As he hesitated, a soft sigh echoed from the void:

"My master is merciful. Grand Tutor should not have taken lives today!"

As soon as the voice fell, a large, fat man wearing a golden Taoist robe but with his chest exposed suddenly appeared and blocked the ink-black light. He had a half-smile on his face and merely pointed his right hand lightly. Wen Zhong, who was charging fiercely, was instantly frozen in place, unable to move! He couldn't even open his mouth.

"Grand Tutor injured two disciples of my sect. I, this humble Taoist, have no choice but to ask Grand Tutor to come with me!"

The fat Taoist reached forward with his right hand, which transformed into a vast, immense hand in the blink of an eye, reaching for Wen Zhong. It seemed as though Wen Zhong was about to be captured!
