Fighting the Two Sages of the West

"Let's avoid a fight if we can."

Jie Yin held back his temper and replied, "Daoist Changqing, name your price. We can buy them back."

"Buy them back?"

Gu Changqing scrutinized Jie Yin. It was truly surprising that Jie Yin could have such a good temper.

"Alright!"

Gu Changqing continued, "The Immortal Slaying Flying Knife for one Merit Treasure, and the Chaos Bell for ten Merit Treasures."

"Ten Merit Treasures? Why don't you just rob us?"

Zhun Ti instantly flared up.

Exchanging ten Merit Treasures for the Chaos Bell would be a profit no matter how one looked at it. The problem was, he truly didn't have ten Merit Treasures.

He wouldn't find them even if he searched the entire Primordial World!

Gu Changqing smiled, "This is already the lowest price. I believe Uncle-Master Jie Yin should understand."

"This..."

Jie Yin's face fell. He said, "Our West is barren. We truly cannot produce ten Merit Treasures."

"None? So there's nothing to discuss?"

Gu Changqing spread his hands helplessly. "Then what is the intention of you two Uncle-Masters coming to Chongcheng?"

"Naturally..."

Jie Yin stopped Zhun Ti and added, "Daoist Changqing, you can suggest other conditions."

Gu Changqing chuckled, "Other conditions?"

Jie Yin replied, "For instance, our Western Sect withdrawing from the Eastern Lands."

"Heh!" Gu Changqing sneered, "The Eastern Lands originally belong to Great Shang. To Great Shang, the Western Sect is an aggressor."

"You should, and must, withdraw from the Eastern Lands!"

Seeing Gu Changqing's unyielding attitude, Jie Yin said, "We can assist Daoist in unifying the Human Race and safely overcoming the current difficulties."

Gu Changqing laughed, "Great Shang has countless soldiers, and the Intercepting Sect has myriad immortals paying homage. My master's Four Swords of Zhuxian cannot be broken by anything less than four Saints. Though I am unworthy, dealing with one Saint should still be possible. Uncle-Master Jie Yin, what crisis do you believe my Great Shang, my Intercepting Sect, faces?"

Jie Yin then said, "Even so, if the Saints act, the Intercepting Sect's myriad immortals paying homage will collapse in an instant."

"Heh heh." Gu Changqing sneered, "If Saints no longer act with the demeanor of Saints, then I will ensure that only Saints remain among the various sects."

No one likes to be threatened, especially when they already hold the absolute advantage.

Hearing the murderous intent in Gu Changqing's words, Jie Yin's heart chilled. He knew there was nothing more to discuss.

"Since Daoist Changqing is so confident, our Western Sect will debate the Dao with Daoist Changqing."

"Good!" Gu Changqing said dismissively, "When you two Uncle-Masters fail to reason, you resort to force. Though shameless, this Gu likes it."

"The Primordial World is inherently an arena."

"If you win, this Gu will willingly offer up the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife and the Chaos Bell."

As Gu Changqing spoke, he moved towards the Chaos. Jie Yin and Zhun Ti followed him.

Seeing the Two Sages of the West and Gu Changqing head into the Chaos, Jiang Ziya quickly sent a flying sword message to Yuanshi.

At this moment, one could no longer speak of martial virtues. Only after killing Gu Changqing would martial virtues have any meaning.

After arriving in the Chaos, Gu Changqing turned to face the Two Sages of the West.

Unless he taught the two of them how to behave, they would never settle down.

"Chaos Bell, suppress!"

Dong—

The Chaos Bell rang, and an invisible ripple dispersed the chaotic energy.

The Chaos Bell descended, suppressing Jie Yin directly.

Jie Yin's expression changed. He never expected his opponent to unleash a killing move right away.

Jie Yin quickly summoned his Sixteen Feet Golden Body. At the same time, he stepped on the Twelfth Grade Merit Golden Lotus and held the Jie Yin Precious Banner above his head, fully resisting the suppressive force of the Chaos Bell.

Though the Chaos Bell was powerful, Jie Yin also possessed the strength of a Saint. The treasure and the Saint fought to a standstill.

Seeing Jie Yin suppressed by the Chaos Bell, Zhun Ti quickly brought out his Bitter Bamboo Staff.

Although he had the Seven Treasure Wonderful Tree, it was completely ineffective against the Chaos Bell; the Bitter Bamboo Staff was much more useful.

A faint green light illuminated the Chaos, and a lonely, unyielding will crashed into the Chaos Bell.

Dong—

The Chaos Bell merely trembled slightly, but it was just a tremble.

Gu Changqing secretly praised it. As expected of one of the Ten Great Primordial Spiritual Roots, it can actually shake the Chaos Bell.

Perhaps among the Ten Great Primordial Spiritual Roots, only the Bitter Bamboo could shake the Chaos Bell.

The Chaos Bell swayed, and Jie Yin took the opportunity to sit cross-legged on the Twelfth Grade Merit Golden Lotus.

He formed a Buddhist Seal with his hands, and an infinite Buddhist light shone throughout the Chaos. He chanted true words, and immediately, immense power blessed his body.

Under the blessing of that peculiar power, he actually managed to slowly rise, resisting the Chaos Bell. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before he could break free from the Chaos Bell's restraints.

Is this...

The power of faith?

Gu Changqing was slightly taken aback; this was a power he had never seen before.

It was auspicious and vast, yet it contained an indomitable will.

"Hmph!"

Gu Changqing scoffed.

"You've probably forgotten about me!"

Gu Changqing summoned the God Slaying Spear and plunged it directly towards Zhun Ti.

Zhun Ti sensed a strong killing intent approaching and quickly withdrew his Bitter Bamboo Staff to block the God Slaying Spear.

Although Saints were immortal, damaging their Saint body would weaken their power.

Reforming a Saint body would take a long time.

Every Saint cherished their Saint body.

While Zhun Ti was dealing with the God Slaying Spear, Gu Changqing leaped into the air and stomped on the Chaos Bell.

CLANG—

Another bell chimed.

Infinite Creation Profound Light surged out, and the Chaos Bell plummeted, suppressing Jie Yin once more.

Pfft!

The sudden immense force made Jie Yin spit golden blood.

He was injured by this blow!

"Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage!"

He flipped his palms and struck towards the Chaos Bell.

Infinite power surged out, and sounds of the Dao resonated.

A massive "卍" Buddhist Seal crashed into the Chaos Bell.

Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage was not the Rulai Divine Palm, but Jie Yin's powerful divine ability.

It could gather the Buddhist power of all the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and believers of the Western Sect into one, unleashing unparalleled strength.

Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage, Ten Thousand Buddhas Unified.

Gu Changqing felt the immense power of the Buddhist Seal, his expression subtly changing.

Everyone underestimated this one!

Gu Changqing felt as if he wasn't facing just one Jie Yin, but the entire Western Sect.

This Buddhist Seal was the power of the entire Western Sect!

How terrifying!

I was too careless!

Gu Changqing thought to himself, recalling the God Slaying Spear and thrusting it at the Buddhist Seal.

The Twelfth Grade Merit Golden Lotus suddenly burst forth with golden light, and the rolling demonic qi of the God Slaying Spear was rapidly dissolved.

"A Merit Treasure, is it?"

Gu Changqing sneered, summoning his Merit Set.

The Merit Set consisted of seven Merit Treasures. Even after giving the Merit Saint Sword to Shi Ji, he still had six left.

Endless Merit Golden Light pushed back, and the Twelfth Grade Merit Golden Lotus instantly dimmed.

With the weakening effect of the merit power gone, the God Slaying Spear immediately unleashed a crimson destructive force, plunging towards the Buddhist Seal.

It charged forward, destroying everything in its path.

Oh no!

Senior Brother might not be able to hold on!

Zhun Ti also leaped onto the lotus platform, joining Jie Yin in resisting Gu Changqing's suppression.

Gu Changqing possessed so many Merit Treasures, and the God Slaying Spear was a demonic treasure, clashing with the Buddhist Seal. Coupled with the suppression of the Chaos Bell, he quickly gained the upper hand.

Jie Yin and Zhun Ti's strength might not be inferior to Gu Changqing's, but they were at a disadvantage in terms of magical artifacts.

The closer the God Slaying Spear's aura got to the Buddhist Seal, the greater the resistance.

Buddhism and demonic arts were inherently opposing and mutually restrictive. While the God Slaying Spear could restrain the Buddhist Seal, the Buddhist Seal could also restrain the God Slaying Spear.

Powerful as the God Slaying Spear was, it was ultimately just an Innate Supreme Treasure, while the Buddhist Seal gathered the combined might of the entire Western Sect.

Soon, the God Slaying Spear was at a disadvantage.

Clang—

Gu Changqing stomped on the Chaos Bell again, and the Chaos Bell sank another inch.

Still not enough!

While the murderous aura unleashed by the God Slaying Spear was fierce, it was limited.

The Buddhist power of the Buddhist Seal, however, was inexhaustible. With one waxing and the other waning, the God Slaying Spear was bound to lose eventually.

Gu Changqing formed a hand seal, and an endless Power of Creation surged forth, flowing into the God Slaying Spear.

Two distinctly different forces complemented each other, forming a completely new power.

This power was indescribable and intangible, yet incredibly mighty.

The God Slaying Spear radiated a new aura, like a dragon emerging from the sea, charging towards the Buddhist Seal.

At this moment, the God Slaying Spear was no longer suppressed by the Buddhist Seal; instead, the Buddhist Seal was countered by the God Slaying Spear.

The two sides once again fell into a struggle.

The Two Sages of the West were terrified; Gu Changqing's combat power was simply too strong.

He had only just Proved the Dao of Mixed Origin.

If they allowed this child to develop further, would there still be a place for the Saints in the future?

A Saint's immortality was predicated on the Heavenly Dao not perishing.

If this kid comprehended the laws of the Heavenly Dao, he would likely slaughter Saints as easily as slaughtering dogs!

Proving the Dao of Mixed Origin in little over a decade was unprecedented.

For such a monstrous talent, comprehending the laws of the Heavenly Dao was not impossible.

At this point, the Two Sages of the West harbored murderous intent towards Gu Changqing.

A definite killing intent!

If Gu Changqing didn't die, the Saints would never be at peace!
