Because he attacked in anger, Duan Lang's Duan Lang was the Heavenly Destiny Sword Dao from the Black Tortoise True Skill, and its power was extraordinary.
With the system's guidance, Duan Lang had seized almost all of Nie Feng's opportunities. Combined with other guidance from the system, his current strength was terrifying.
Even compared to Nie Feng in the later stages of the original novel, he wouldn't be much different.
However, Huixian was chosen by Mahavairocana to receive the initiation, so his strength should not be underestimated.
Faced with the incoming sword energy, Huixian calmly formed a mudra of clasped hands, and a layer of condensed golden body suddenly appeared around her.
It was as if a true Buddha had descended to earth, protecting it firmly within; the sword energy shattered upon impact.
"You've got some skills after all; no wonder you were so arrogant!"
Duan Lang was not surprised that his first sword Duan Lang had failed to achieve any results. He immediately moved forward, his Fire Qilin Sword flying up and down in his hand.
The clanging sounds echoed in all directions, as if striking a real object, as the golden light blocked all of Duan Lang's attacks.
"Impossible! How could they have blocked them all!"
Duan Lang was also getting anxious; such a scene had only ever appeared in his dreams.
How could anyone simply stand still and withstand all his attacks?
You should know that every time he strikes with his sword, he does so without holding back; he can easily split a small mountain in two!
But when the sword energy struck the monk, it silently crumbled, having no effect whatsoever. The monk even had the leisure to smile at him.
"Your sword energy is quite powerful, but I am protected by a divine skill bestowed upon me by Buddha. Mortal martial arts cannot harm me."
Huixian spoke calmly, his hands forming the wai mudra. The golden light emanating from him was the divine skill— the Ten Thousand Buddhas Golden Body had imparted to Mahavairocana in a dream.
It's less of a martial art and more of a Zen Buddhist technique, with defensive capabilities surpassing any of the legendary martial arts techniques in the world of Wind and Cloud.
After all, this golden body not only consumes Huixian's Internal Energy, but also the willpower of living beings.
Do you really think his act of coming down the mountain to save all living beings is out of genuine compassion?
No, it's just that the divine skills taught to him by the Mahavairocana all require the power of the will of living beings to enhance their power. Without the power of will, relying solely on Internal Energy, Huixian would not be so calm and composed.
This is also a Mahavairocana Buddha to motivate his followers; only by giving them motivation will they actively spread the influence of the Buddhist Sect.
Any relationship, based solely on a belief, is unlikely to last.
Just like Xu Xiao's Dao of Desire, those fanatics are not only people who are addicted to desire, but also because they can gain power through indulgence. This is a very simple and crude way to obtain great power, which is why it is accepted by many people.
The relationship between God and believers can never escape the interplay of supply and demand and mutual benefit. Although God may exploit loopholes to achieve high returns with low input, they are by no means stingy.
You can exploit believers, but you absolutely cannot let them take advantage of you for free, otherwise who will believe in you!
Just like Duan Lang, if it weren't for the system's continuous investment in him, making him extremely eager for this mission, he would have made a retreat long ago when facing such an unassailable opponent.
At this moment, although his swordsmanship had not broken through his defenses, Duan Lang did not stop attacking. He continued to change his position and keep striking with his sword.
In order to maximize his output, he even Jieyin unleashed the evil energy within his body and used his most powerful skills.
" Evil Flame Slash!"
The attack, imbued with the evil power of Wind and Cloud, finally elicited some reaction from the golden body.
Evil energy is a manifestation of the power of calamity in the universe, and it is much more damaging to martial arts that rely on such power of will and Internal Energy.
With just one strike, the seemingly impenetrable golden body began to tremble, and some devout figures appeared on it. In a daze, one could even see the figures dissipating one by one.
At this point, Huixian could no longer sit still.
"You've been fighting for so long, it's only fair to return the favor. It's time for you to take one of my moves!"
The hand gesture changed from the wai jin mudra to the abhāṣā mudra, with the palms gently extended.
The golden light that enveloped him instantly transformed into a giant golden hand, which struck out and enveloped Duan Lang.
Looking at this enormous hand, even the demonic Duan Lang felt there was no way to avoid it, and then he swung his sword to meet it head-on!
Boundless evil energy surged from his limbs and bones, then poured into the Fire Qilin Sword, slashing diagonally at the giant palm that was coming at him.
Boom boom boom!
Like a bomb exploding on flat ground, the collision between the sword light and the giant hand created a massive impact, affecting areas for miles around, and sending soil flying thousands of meters into the air.
Beneath the endless dust, one malevolent sword beam after another flew up and bombarded Huixian relentlessly.
"Die! Die! Die!!!"
Duan Lang's figure rapidly approached from the dust, looking somewhat disheveled.
His robes were torn to shreds by the impact of the two giant hands, leaving only the soft armor he wore underneath still hanging there.
On his bare skin, the dark green evil energy had already penetrated deep into his meridians, constantly flowing throughout his body and surging towards his brain and heart.
After being injured, the evil energy within Duan Lang's body was fully unleashed, and some even showed signs of Duan Lang uncontrollable.
Duan Lang's eyes turned dark green, his mind filled with absolute killing intent and revenge!
He'll get his revenge! He'll kill the other person at all costs!!
Duan Lang's obsession could be seen as an aid to his success, or it could be considered the trigger for him to be possessed by evil energy.
He is intensely vengeful and extremely proud; once you provoke him, it's a fight to the death, which is the root of his evil nature.
At this moment, in order to gain greater power, Duan Lang disregarded the erosion of the evil energy on him and allowed this power of heaven and earth to increase his strength.
At the same time, a seven-colored seed in his mind, upon sensing this boundless killing intent, transformed it into unparalleled Internal Energy.
The Seed of Desire, disguised as a cheat code, had long been deeply embedded in Duan Lang's body, transforming his various desires into profound Internal Energy, which was the foundation of Duan Lang's power.
Amidst the dust, Huixian shook her head, a hint of seriousness finally appearing on her face.
"As expected, you were unharmed after taking my Demon -Demon-Subduing Great Mudra, but you have been corrupted by the calamity energy of heaven and earth, and have completely become a heretical demon."
"If we want to restore peace to this world and spread the teachings of Buddhism, we must indeed kill you demons."
"Kill him! Then you try killing him!"
Huixian VS Duan Lang been completely corrupted by evil!
