Chapter 249
"Benefactor Jiang, your calculations are brilliant! This humble monk has also brought his Subduing Demon Ruyi Scepter, just in case."
Kong clasped his hands together and smiled.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shenyu's face darkened with displeasure. Both of them had secretly brought quasi-emperor-level magic weapons, while he hadn't brought anything. It was uncertain how much he would get when the deal was done.
It's even uncertain whether he'll get a share!
"Master Kong, Brother Ji, we still have a day's journey to leave the Holy Academy. I need to return to Luozhou temporarily, so please don't make a move first..."
Jiang Shenyu quickly replied.
"Benefactor Jiang, you must hurry! I just received news that all the Sages have arrived at the Two Realms Battlefield, and we can make our move at any time."
Kong said with a smile.
"This... I'll be back within half a day!"
Jiang Shenyu frowned, uttered those words, burned a talisman, and vanished in a rainbow.
Ji Changkong frowned and said, "Are we really going to wait for him to come back before we make a move?"
"Amitabha, you are attached to appearances. Benefactor Jiang is kind-hearted and cannot bear to harm Princess Xiao. How can we go against his wishes?"
Kong clasped his hands together and said calmly.
"Hehe, the master is right!"
On the warship.
Xiao Minghuang seemed to understand something. With a thought, the celestial phenomenon disappeared, as if it had never appeared at all.
But the galaxy composed of countless stars still surrounds her, radiating a dazzling light.
"Just as I expected, the Yin Yang Star Chart matches the star chart."
Xiao Minghuang murmured to himself, then raised his hand and clenched it in the air.
The galaxy surrounding her surged like a tide, flowing into her hand and transforming into a gleaming Sword of Stars.
The sword gleamed with golden light, surrounded by the Sun, Moon, and Stars, with the yin and yang energies flowing endlessly, displaying an incomparably noble and majestic aura.
"Although I have lost the Great Sun Moon Holy Sword, the Yin Yang Two Forms Star Chart can perfectly mimic it, and with the support of my Sword Dao Domain and the power of the stars, it can unleash even greater power!"
Xiao Minghuang's eyes gleamed, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
Previously, when she went all out, she needed to simultaneously activate the Daytime Star Manifestation Power, the Sword Dao Domain, and multiple star charts.
This is because the power of her various methods is not balanced, and none of them can dominate, making it difficult to exert a ripple effect.
However, after cultivating the Great Sun Moon True Scripture and mastering the Yin Yang Two Forms Star Chart, she could use this quasi-emperor magic weapon as a foundation to control all her methods with a single thought, making her supernatural powers and magic weapons as easy to use as her own arms and fingers, moving at will.
This undoubtedly makes her attacks faster, which can play a significant role in actual combat!
However, she seemed to suddenly realize something, and let out a soft snort, a hint of mockery flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"You two blind fools, we've finally waited for you..."
After saying that, Xiao Minghuang flicked her hand, and the Sword of Stars dissipated. She then walked outside.
At the same time.
Rumble...
The ship began to rock violently.
Immediately afterwards, an immense force descended from nowhere.
"You couldn't hold back anymore?"
311. The Buddha Dharma Aspect
Xiao Minghuang's lips curled slightly upwards, and a strong killing intent flashed in her eyes.
She had long suspected she was being followed, but she had been organizing her spoils and remained inactive.
Now that the other party has lost their patience, she doesn't need to wait any longer!
A dazzling beam of silver light descended from the sky and slammed heavily onto the ship.
The defensive barriers on the warship were completely activated at this moment!
Layer upon layer of protective shields enveloped the entire ship, and each attack generated a terrifying shockwave that caused the entire ship to tremble.
Above the sky, a figure radiating Buddhist light stepped out from the void, its Buddhist chants resounding like Lei Zhen!
"Amitabha! This humble monk Kong. Princess Xiao has a karmic connection with Buddhism. Please come to the Great Bodhi Mountain in the Lapis Lazuli Pure Land for a discussion!"
Kong- legged on the lotus platform, his hands clasped together, chanting Buddhist mantras. His whole body was bathed in Buddhist light, filled with endless auspicious light.
Beneath his feet was a flawless white jade lotus, crystal clear, flowing with a hazy Rosy Clouds, surrounded by Immortal Qi, making him seem like a great Buddha descending to the mortal world to save all living beings.
"You think you can save me?"
On the ship, Xiao Minghuang floated in the air, coldly looking at the monk. Stars and clouds swirled around her, making her seem like an ethereal fairy. Despite the raging storm outside, she remained unharmed.
"Princess Xiao, you misunderstand. I have no ill intentions." Liaokong Kong his hands together and uttered a Sanskrit chant. "Princess, you are born with wisdom and have a deep affinity for Buddhism. You should receive the precepts and be accepted into my Buddhist order!"
"Oh?" Xiao Minghuang raised an eyebrow, a playful expression on his face.
"I remember that Buddhism emphasizes purity and few desires, purifying the six senses, and severing the seven emotions and six desires. How come you want me to become a Buddha?"
"Kong, stop wasting time talking to her, let's finish this quickly!"
Ji Changkong urged.
Ye Ruoshui and the others also flew out of the cabin, looking at the uninvited guests who had suddenly appeared in the sky, their eyes flashing with worry.
" On the Hidden Dragon Ranking in the Realm of Kings, Ji Changkong is ranked thirty-fifth; Kong Highness, you must be careful!"
Xu Xiuer immediately saw through their true nature and loudly reminded them.
"Rest assured!"
Xiao Minghuang gave him a smile.
"Amitabha!" Kong, spread his hands, and said loudly, "Since Princess Xiao is unwilling to lay down her butcher's knife, then this humble monk will help the princess turn back from the wrong path!"
"Hmph! I'd rather trouble Master Kong to enter Nirvana first!"
Xiao Minghuang said coldly.
"Stubborn to the end!"
Kong sighed softly and pressed his right palm forward.
Instantly, an invisible wave swept across the eight directions, vast and unfathomable, containing a great power that suppressed the surrounding wilderness!
A myriad of starlight appeared around Xiao Minghuang's body, transforming into a galaxy that protected him and blocked the terrifying force that suppressed him.
"Buddhist Divine Ability are nothing more than this!"
She smiled slightly and said calmly.
"The Buddha Dharma Aspect!"
Kong clasped his hands together and chanted Buddhist hymns.
The next moment, his expression suddenly became solemn, and his body radiated thousands of brilliant Buddhist lights. He seemed to have transformed into a living Buddha, with a dignified and majestic appearance. The Ruyi Jingu Wish-Fulfilling Demon Subduing Pestle in his hand emitted strands of Buddhist light, enveloping the ship and trapping it tightly.
Under the Buddha's light, Ye Ruoshui and the others felt a sense of peace and tranquility. They could not even sense the danger that was right in front of them. Instead, they wanted to kneel down and worship.
Just as he was about to make his move, Ji Changkong suddenly flew forward and stopped him, saying, "Master, please rest a moment and watch me capture this woman!"
"Benefactor Ji, you!"
Kong frowned slightly, thinking to himself that Ji Changkong had underestimated his opponent so much; something unforeseen might be about to happen...
"Master Kong, just step back and watch the battle! With the Flowing Void Mirror, the demoness can be annihilated with a flick of her finger!"
Ji Changkong grinned, and a silver ancient mirror flew out, hanging in the void, emitting a dazzling silver light that illuminated the surrounding area, as if freezing the entire world in place!
Seeing this, a hint of worry flashed in Xu Xiuer's beautiful eyes as she reminded her, "Your Highness, this is a magic weapon of the Ji Clan Supreme before he achieved immortality. It's called the Flowing Void Mirror, a quasi-Emperor magic weapon containing a portion of the Ji Clan Supreme's Dao techniques. It's extremely powerful, so please be careful!"
"Don't worry! I'm confident I can kill him."
Xiao Minghuang's gaze was solemn, but her words were incredibly relaxed.
Upon hearing this, Ji Changkong coldly said, "Hmph! You still dare to be stubborn even when you're about to die!"
In an instant, the Flowing Void Mirror burst forth with billions of silver rays of light, like a curtain falling from the sky, instantly condensing into a beam of supreme divine light!
"Flowing Void Mirror! Kill!"
He leaped up, urging the beam of divine light towards Xiao Minghuang.
Under the divine light, the array patterns around the ship flickered violently, and ripples spread outwards, only to be annihilated by the divine light. The entire ship trembled violently, as if it could not withstand such power and would shatter and collapse at any moment.
"A trivial skill!"
Xiao Minghuang frowned.
She spread her five fingers, and countless stars fell from the sky, merging into her palm.
A Sword of Stars, imbued with the Sun Power, materialized and, like a sharp arrow, pierced through the void, instantly severing the divine light and striking the ancient silver mirror!
A burst of light, like fireworks, exploded and vanished into countless points of brilliance, while the ancient silver mirror was also flung away.
"Pfft~"
Ji Changkong's face turned pale, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and staggered back a few steps.
Seeing this, Ye Ruoshui giggled and said loudly, "I originally thought the prodigies of the Longevity Family were so remarkable, but now it seems they're nothing special!"
"The ranking of the Hidden Dragon Ranking really needs to be updated; how can such a worthless nobody be included?"
Xu Xiuer echoed this.
"You!"
Ji Changkong glared angrily. He quickly steadied himself, manipulated the ancient mirror, and unleashed a beam of silver light, which shot towards Ye Ruoshui and the others.
But before the attack could travel far, it was annihilated by Xiao Minghuang's sword.
"When you fight me, you must concentrate!"
Xiao Minghuang said calmly.
"You, how dare you be so arrogant!" Ji Changkong's face was ashen. He gritted his teeth and said, "How can a mere country bumpkin who got lucky by chance compare to the millennia-old heritage of my Ji clan!"
With a flick of his arms, the Flowing Void Mirror suddenly spun around, its divine light blazing forth, sending out hundreds of silver chains that surged towards Xiao Minghuang like countless silver dragons!
Each of these silver chains is wrapped in void runes and contains astonishing destructive power, distorting the void itself.
Splash!
These chains were so dense and numerous that they blotted out the sky and blocked out the heavens and earth, as if they wanted to strangle all tangible matter in the world!
"Ha! That's more like it."
Xiao Minghuang's lips curled up, seemingly excited, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
The next moment, she stretched out her slender hand, and billions of stars fell into her palm. Amidst the surging starlight, they converged into a dazzling, crystal-clear Sword of Stars.
312. The Sun and Moon in Palm, Buddha Kingdom in Palm.
The blade was surrounded by the sun, Sun, Moon, and Stars, with Divine Glow bursting forth and Sword Qi whistling, like a celestial deity.
"Billions of stars are in my grasp; the Sun, Moon, and Stars, and stars obey my command!"
"Cut!"
With a sharp cry, she wielded the Starry Sky Divine Sword and slashed down, unleashing a streak of sword energy that cracked the void in its wake, spreading out like a spiderweb.
