Qing Mo quickly approached Zhiqiu Yiye, Fu Yuechi, and Fu Tianchou, who were sitting cross-legged on the ground. He then took out the Yin-Yang jade Jade Pendant that he had previously lent to Ning Caichen from his pocket and had Fu Yuechi and Fu Tianchou place their hands on top of each other to hold the Jade Pendant!
Qing Mo quickly said to Fu Yuechi and Fu Tianchou, "The situation is urgent. Zuo Qianhu's killing intent and baleful aura can only deal with those minor demons. Once that old bastard Pudu Cihang comes out, he won't be able to handle it!"
Now I will teach you a Daoist Calming Mind Mantra. Lord Fu and Yuechi, you two repeat after me!
The Supreme Star, ever-changing and adaptable!
Exorcise evil spirits and protect your life!
A clear mind brings peace of mind!
"May your three souls be eternal, and your spirit never perish!"
While Qing Mo was teaching Fu Tianchou and Fu Yuechi to recite the Calming Mind Divine Incantation, Zuo Qianhu's initial feelings of helplessness and uncertainty vanished upon seeing the invisible little demons!
Zuo Qianhu, wielding two swords, charged towards the four lesser demons, shouting, "You demons, take this! Ahhh!"
Zuo Qianhu immediately engaged the four lesser demons in battle. Although he was fighting four against one, he was not at a disadvantage at all, and he was able to suppress the four lesser demons. In just two exchanges, he cut off the head of one of the lesser demons!
"The Supreme Star, ever adaptable!"
Exorcise evil spirits and protect your life!
A clear mind brings peace of mind!
"May your three souls be eternal, and your spirit never perish!" ✖️2
Fu Yuechi and Fu Tianchou kept repeating the Daoist Calming Mind Divine Incantation that Qing Mo had told them. Coupled with the faint light emanating from the Yin-Yang Jade Pendant in their hands, the discomfort they had felt due to the Life-Claiming Buddhist Chant instantly vanished!
Seeing this, Mo Rang Zhiqiu Yiye to withdraw her hands from behind the two of them, so that they wouldn't have to waste any more energy helping them concentrate!
Qing Mo stood up and said, "You two must keep reciting this Calming Mind Divine Incantation so that you will not be affected by the Life-Claiming Buddhist Chant!"
Zhi Qiu, let's go help Zuo Qianhu! Otherwise, when that old bastard Pudu Cihang comes out, Zuo Qianhu won't be a match for him!"
After Zhiqiu Yiye withdrew his hand, he saw that Fu Yuechi and Fu Tianchou were just as Qing Mo had said. He immediately stood up and said, "Alright, let's go deal with that old monster!"
Zuo Qianhu had already killed all four lesser demons. As for himself, he was kneeling on one knee, panting slightly. After all, he had been careless and the lesser demons had injured his back and arms. Although they were not fatal, he had still bled a little!
At this moment, Pudu Cihang jumped out from a distance. It looked as if it had just returned to human form. There were cracks on both cheeks, chin, and bridge of the nose. Through the cracks, you could see the faint black shell under the skin!
Looking at Qing Mo and the others before it, Pudu Cihang immediately spoke, "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot! Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot!"
Seeing that Pudu Cihang had arrived and was chanting the Life-Claiming Buddhist Chant, Zhiqiu Yiye hurriedly said, " Zuo Qianhu, come back quickly! This old monster is very powerful; you can't defeat it!"
Seeing the wound on Pudu Cihang's face, Qing Mo guessed that it was caused by the centipede demon being forced to reveal its true form because of the Sky Dog Eats Moon, and then Zuo Qianhu throwing a dart at its body!
At this moment, Zuo Qianhu declared righteously, "I was misled by evil spirits and killed loyal ministers and righteous men. Today, to atone for my sins, I will fight them to the death!"
If I don't go to hell, who will?! Ahhh!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Qianhu drew his sword and charged forward. Just as he was about to touch the fake Buddha light, Qing Mo rushed over, grabbed Zuo Qianhu's arm, and threw him backward. As soon as Zuo Qianhu landed, he staggered back several steps, losing his momentum!
At this moment, Qing Mo shouted at Zuo Qianhu, "Since you know you're wrong, you should save your life to atone for your past mistakes, instead of knowingly going to your death when you're no match for them. Do you think you're so incorruptible?"
In my opinion, you're using death to escape your mistakes and shirk responsibility!
Now go and take care of Lord Fu and Yuechi. After we deal with this old devil, you and Lord Fu can then properly persuade the Emperor to restore peace to the land and bring happiness to the people! That's what you should be doing, not risking your life in vain!
Zhi Qiu, now it's our turn. Let's work together to deal with this old witch!
Upon hearing Qing Mo's words, Zhiqiu Yiye was immediately filled with excitement and shouted, "Alright, let's join forces to deal with this old monster!"
Not only did Zhiqiu Yiye nod repeatedly upon hearing Qing Mo's words, but even Fu Tianchou, who was sitting to the side, was full of approval, and Fu Yuechi's eyes were full of stars when she looked at Qing Mo!
Upon hearing Qing Mo's words, Zuo Qianhu lowered his head and pondered for a moment. When he looked up again, his eyes were filled with unwavering determination. He then bowed to Qing Mo and said, "I, Zuo, have learned much. Thank you, Qing Mo, for your enlightening words!"
He then went to Fu Tianchou Fu Tianchou Fu Yuechi 'Fu Yuechi side, constantly observing the surroundings to ensure their safety!
Zhiqiu Yiye pulled a talisman from her cloth bag and immediately shouted, "Heavenly Decree, Ghost-Expelling Demon-Driving Edict!"
Qing Mo also scattered several lightning-summoning talismans, his right hand forming a sword finger held upright in front of his chest, silently chanting an incantation. "Hurry, hurry, as the law commands! Lightning-summoning talisman, hit!"
Boom~~~
The two worked together to shatter the disguise of Pudu Cihang once more, and it immediately transformed into a gigantic golden Buddha, seated Tathagata- legged on a golden lotus, its deep voice resounding throughout the surroundings. "Namo Amitabha Buddha, the Tathagata of the Western Paradise Tathagata here!"
Seeing this, Zhiqiu Yiye Ye remembered his defeat at its hands last time, and couldn't help but feel nervous again. His right foot unconsciously took half a step back. Qing Mo, on the other hand, felt that this Tathagata was really too fake to be true!
However, he still spoke up, reminding Zhiqiu Yiye, "Zhi Qiu, Buddha has no form; form arises from the mind! As long as you have Buddha in your heart, why care about these illusions before you!"
Upon hearing Qing Mo's words, Zhiqiu Yiye suddenly realized that he had broken free from his previous inner demons. At this moment, there was no longer a trace of fear in his eyes; his gaze was as unwavering as Zuo Qianhu's!
Zhiqiu Yiye chanted the incantation loudly again, his right arm spinning rapidly in circles. "Ba ni ba ba hong, wind, fire, thunder, lightning, spirit, Turn the Cosmos!"
Qing Mo knew that even if Zhiqiu overcame his inner demons, he would have no chance of winning against this thousand-year-old centipede demon in a one-on-one fight, especially since the centipede had almost devoured the National Fortune, which would have significantly boosted his cultivation!
Immediately, Qing Mo swiftly appeared behind Zhiqiu Yiye, his hands rapidly forming hand seals as he chanted, "Heaven Emperor Xuanzong, Mysterious Origin, Root of All Qi. Cultivate through countless eons, prove my divine powers... Golden light swiftly appears, protecting my body."
Qing Mo activated the Golden Light Divine Incantation and patted Zhiqiu Yiye's back with both hands. Instantly, Zhiqiu Yiye's whole body also emitted a dazzling golden light. The golden light on the two of them was comparable to the fake Buddhist light emitted by the centipede demon's fake body!
With the blessing of Qing Mo's Golden Light Divine Incantation, Zhiqiu Yiye's move " Turn the Cosmos" became much more powerful. He immediately drew his sword again and slashed at the centipede demon's Tathagata avatar in the middle of the drawn black hole. The latter also retaliated by striking the Thousand-Year Kill gesture, just like last time!
The two attacks collided at the center of the black hole, causing a violent explosion. The centipede demon's golden Buddha Tathagata and the golden lotus platform it sat on slid backward dozens of meters due to the violent explosion!
As well as Zhiqiu Yiye and Qing Mo, due to the force of their clash, they were unable to stop themselves from sliding backward for dozens of meters. Zhiqiu Yiye knelt on one knee and grabbed the sword stuck in the ground with both hands, trying to stop himself!
Qing Mo bent over slightly, supporting himself on his knees with both hands, and slid backward. The two of them plowed a visible track in the ground. The expressions on Zhiqiu Yiye and Qing Mo's faces were extremely solemn!
Once both of them had stabilized and stopped, Zhiqiu Yiye immediately said, "Fellow Qing Mo, it's fortunate that you had the Golden Light Divine Incantation to bless us, otherwise I might not have been a match for the old monster!"
Even so, we haven't gained the upper hand. It seems it won't be easy for the two of us to kill this old monster!
Upon hearing Zhiqiu Yiye's words, Fu Tianchou and the others also became solemn. They hadn't expected that the old monster Pudu Cihang would be so strong, that even Qing Mo and Zhiqiu Yiye working together couldn't gain the upper hand!
Qing Mo remained calm and said softly, "Don't worry, I happened to run into Brother Ning and Qingfeng when I came here. They told me you were in trouble, so I rushed over to help!"
Besides, they've already gone to fetch a powerful sorcerer. All we need to do is stall them until they arrive. Then, the three of us working together will definitely be able to defeat this old monster!
Upon hearing Qing Mo's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Ning Caichen and Qingfeng had invited Qing Mo, and that a magic expert would be coming later!
Just as Qing Mo finished speaking, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar. It was Yan Chixia, Qingfeng Yan Chixia, and Ning Caichen. Because the centipede demon's demonic aura was soaring, Yan Chixia easily found the location of Qing Mo and the others!
Seeing that everyone was alright, Ning Caichen immediately shouted, "Zhi Qiu, Qing Mo! We're here!"
Seeing that Fu Tianchou and Fu Yuechi were safe and sound, Qingfeng was relieved. Then, everyone gathered together to face the centipede demon's fake body, the golden Tathagata!
Yan Chixia shouted at it, "You can Tathagata impersonate the Buddha, what else wouldn't you dare to do?"
Zhiqiu Yiye shouted back, "Still daring to pretend in front of us? Do you think you can control everything?"
Ning Caichen then said, "You have deceived the world for so long, you must reveal your true colors to the world!"
Upon hearing Yan Chixia and the others' words, the centipede demon's avatar spoke up, "People all like to worship idols, so why do you want to oppose them?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Chixia immediately shouted, "Bah! It is precisely because of the ignorance of the world that you have taken advantage of our weakness! With me Yan Chixia, here, I will never let you continue to wreak havoc on the lives of the people!"
Tathagata Buddha's illusory form spoke directly, "Those who do not follow my guiding light will only face death!"
Yan Chixia shouted, "Bullshit! Dragon Roars Through Nine Heavens, Ten Thousand Swords Soar Together!"
Yan Chixia untied the strap of the sword box on his back, and the sword box soared into the air, from which countless golden flying swords flew out. Yan Chixia condensed his hands into sword fingers, commanding these flying swords to gather into the shape of a huge funnel, blocking in front of everyone!
Upon Tathagata this, the centipede demon's illusory Buddha form immediately clasped its hands together, and a golden laser beam shot out from between its palms, striking Yan Chixia, Qing Mo, and the others!
Immediately, Yan Chixia channeled his magic into the funnels formed from the golden swords, and then shouted loudly, " Vast Heaven Righteous Qi, Ten Thousand Blades Return to Origin!"
The centipede demon's Tathagata form of Buddha shot out a golden laser beam that struck the funnel of golden swords gathered by Yan Chixia. The beam was then deflected by the swords and struck the Tathagata form's brow, repelling it!
" The Sword Returns to Infinity!"
Yan Chixia controlled the gathered flying swords to separate, and then countless flying swords plunged straight into the ground, surrounding everyone and forming a sword circle to protect them!
After Yan Chixia finished doing these things, he addressed the group behind him. "We've only destroyed its illusion; it could attack at any moment! Let's remain within the sword circle and adapt to the situation!"
Just as everyone was sitting on the ground chanting scriptures, Zhiqiu Yiye sat down next to Yan Chixia and said, "Fellow Daoist, let me introduce myself. I am from the Kunlun Sect!"
Yan Chixia immediately interrupted, "Oh dear, what's the point of distinguishing sects now? The most important thing is to unite against a common enemy and go all out to deal with the old monster! Prajna Paramita...!"
"Prajnaparamita...!" ✖️N
Just as everyone was chanting sutras, the ground around them began to tremble. Suddenly, a crack appeared in the ground in the distance, growing longer and longer as it approached Yan Chixia and the others. White smoke was also constantly billowing out of the crack!
When they touched the golden sword ring, all the golden swords flew up and returned to the sword box, which then stuck directly in front of Yan Chixia, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground. Upon seeing this, Yan Chixia immediately got up and tied the sword box behind his back!
Then Yan Chixia spoke up, "Old demon, infiltrate the earth and break my sword circle!"
At this moment, something seemed to be emerging from the ground in the distance. Stones and sand were being lifted up by tremendous force, and it was getting closer and closer to Yan Chixia and the others. In the end, even the huge rocks underground were lifted up!
Ning Caichen immediately shouted, "What kind of monster is this?"
Yan Chixia immediately shouted, "Everyone, follow me!"
After saying this, Yan Chixia led everyone to flee into the distance. Just as they were about to be caught, Yan Chixia told everyone to hold hands, as he planned to take them into the air!
However, because Qingfeng was holding Ning Caichen's sleeve, everyone ended up flying into the sky, but Ning Caichen only had one sleeve torn off and didn't fly up with the others, leaving him still being chased by the monsters on the ground!
Just after Ning Caichen had been chased for a while, Yan Chixia led the group down and arrived in front of Ning Caichen. He immediately asked in confusion, "Why have you come back again? Where did you go?"
Ning Caichen followed their gaze and looked back, finding everything had calmed down. Then Yan Chixia said, "Be careful, it's nearby!"
Suddenly, the ground beneath their feet burst open, and everyone was jolted off balance by the sudden noise. A giant centipede emerged from the ground, and everyone was now on its back. At that moment, the centipede demon carried them into the sky!
Seeing this Qing Mo shouted, "Yuechi, Zuo Qianhu! Take good care of Lord Fu! Zhiqiu, let's go help Yan Chixia!"
"Okay, you guys hold on tight! Be very careful!"
Standing atop the centipede demon, Yan Chixia, upon recognizing the monster, exclaimed, "So it's a giant centipede! No wonder it's so powerful!"
Qing Mo and Zhiqiu Yiye bent down and slowly walked to Yan Chixia's side. Upon seeing this, Zhiqiu Yiye said, "Senior, I've never dealt with something this big before!"
Seeing this, Qing Mo said, "It is extremely difficult for insects to enter the Dao. It takes many, many years to achieve a certain level of cultivation. Once they have achieved a certain level of cultivation, they will be more troublesome and harder to deal with than ordinary monsters!"
After all, humans are the easiest to enter the Dao, followed by various wild animals or plants, and finally insects!
Moreover, the centipede is considered the king of the five poisonous creatures!
