"Buddha's disciple! Are you, little monk, the Buddha's disciple the system speaks of?"
Jian Chen belatedly shouted.
Upon hearing Jian Chen's shout, Duan Lang and the Sword Saint exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.
'Another one blessed by heaven?'
'Aren't there just too many people whom Heaven has shown mercy to?'
The two mentally complained, and at the same time began to suspect that they might have fallen into some kind of trap.
Seeing that the other party was able to stop Huixian, one could tell that he was definitely a top-notch expert in the martial arts world. Furthermore, his appearance was very young, which perfectly matched the identity of someone favored by the system.
However, one or two serendipitous encounters are fine, but if there are too many, people will stop believing it's a coincidence.
However, before Duan Lang and the Sword Saint could figure out the key point, the little monk Huixian in front of them lost his temper first.
The halo behind his head had disappeared, and a circle of fine golden Sanskrit characters floated around the young monk, like a layer of armor.
His eyes were devoid of any humanity, filled only with a chilling, unyielding killing intent.
" Wrathful Vajra! Kill without mercy! Take this!"
He flashed to the side and instantly appeared in front of Jian Chen, who was closest to him, Teuchi a punch.
The fine Sanskrit characters instantly condensed into a solid fist, which struck straight at Jian Chen.
Jian Chen was prepared, but the little monk's punch was too fast. He only had time to raise his Peerless Demon Sword to block it. Before the sword armor formed by the Twelve Swords of Xuanyin on his body could be fully formed, he felt a powerful force pressing down on him.
"Bang!"
The force was so great that even the demon-possessed Jian Chen couldn't withstand it, and he was sent flying.
The next instant, Huixian's figure vanished again, appearing directly in front of Duan Lang.
"You too shall be executed!"
The same punch was thrown, with equally astonishing power.
Fortunately, when Huixian launched a surprise attack on Jian Chen, Duan Lang and the Sword Saint were already prepared. In response to the attack, Duan Lang even swung his sword backhand.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Sword Saint beside him brought two fingers together, and a dazzling sword aura enveloped Huixian.
Unfortunately, neither of these attacks was very effective.
Just as it was about to approach Huixian, the circle of Sanskrit characters shone brightly, then transformed into a phantom image of Buddha, directly blocking the attack without needing to form hand seals as before.
Duan Lang unleashed his sword energy, but was struck by Huixian's fist, sending him flying a hundred meters before regaining his footing.
"This guy is weird! He definitely didn't have this kind of strength when I fought him before!"
For reasons unknown, Duan Lang shouted something towards the Sword Saint, but it was too late.
Sword Saint was also hit by Huixian's punch and sent flying backward.
Fortunately, they had both taken precautions, and apart from being knocked away and looking a bit disheveled, they were not seriously injured.
At this moment, Huixian's sudden outburst surprised both of them.
If you have that kind of strength, why were you running away just now?
As expected, the system's tasks were not so easy to complete, and this Buddhist disciple did indeed have some skill.
In the distance, a monstrous burst of demonic energy suddenly erupted, followed by a cry that seemed to emanate from the deepest hell:
"Damn it, you actually ambushed me, little monk! I admit I underestimated you before!"
Jian Chen returned from afar, his body emanating black and red demonic energy, and his eyes were completely filled with blood-red—signs of demonic possession.
"All you evil spirits and heretics have been corrupted by the calamity's energy. This humble monk will rid the world of demons and protect the righteous path."
"By the way, investigate what kind of system you all refer to? The source of chaos in the world, I suppose, is the system behind you all, isn't it?"
Huixian had already sensed something from Jian Chen's words.
At this moment, all he wanted was to defeat these three and then extract the so-called system from one of them.
'If I successfully find this so-called system, I should be able to fulfill Buddha's request, right?'
"Want to eliminate demons and uphold justice? Ha! How laughable! Do you even think you can do it?"
"And you also want my system, little monk! You can't be allowed to live today!"
Jian Chen took a step forward, directly charging towards Huixian with the Peerless Demon Sword in hand.
He was caught off guard just now; otherwise, even if Huixian's aura surged, she wouldn't have been able to kick him away like a drowning dog.
At this moment, when Jian Chen, in a demonic state, unleashed all his power, he instantly engaged in a fierce battle with Huixian.
Every strike of the Peerless Demon Sword in his hand was imbued with deep demonic energy, which was also a major evil force in the world of Wind and Cloud.
When this demonic energy struck Huixian, although it was blocked by the Sanskrit inscription, a trace of its spirituality was also eroded by the demonic energy.
"This little monk seems to be after the system behind us too. Sword Saint, why don't we join forces and kill him first?"
"As for the reward, whoever wins it gets it, how about that?"
Duan Lang, watching from the sidelines, clearly saw that the little monk had suddenly unleashed his power, and in a one-on-one fight, none of the three of them could match him.
Without joining forces, there's no way to defeat the opponent.
"Alright! That little monk is probably investigating our system that's blessed by heaven and earth. Although we don't know why, we absolutely can't let him get his way."
The Sword Saint is also quite sensible.
Their achievements were due to their own hard work and talent, but what truly allowed them to rise from the ashes was that mysterious system.
Although he listened to the little monk's words and had a vague feeling that the system might have a trap waiting for him, that was a matter for the future.
Now, we absolutely cannot let this entity that stands in opposition to them survive!
Sword Saint and Duan Lang reached a consensus and then joined forces to attack.
" Sword Twenty-Three!!"
"Fire Spirit, aid me! Evil Flame Slash!!"
With the arrival of the two, the situation changed instantly.
Huixian, who was originally dominating the beating of the demon-possessed Jian Chen, was now being attacked in turn by the two experts, and the Sanskrit on his body was being rapidly worn away.
"You heretics! Even if you join forces, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Even if it costs me my life, I will kill all you demons and restore peace and order to the world!
Huixian was also driven to desperation by the beating, and directly pulled out her trump card.
"May the Buddha's Light Brings Salvation to All! I beg the Buddha to help me, to Buddha's True Body!"
The flying Sanskrit characters instantly merged into his body, and then the exposed body of Huixian was instantly covered in gold, as if it had been plated with a layer of gold paint.
At the same time, a consciousness that was definitely not Huixian's revived from his body, and a pair of indifferent golden eyes looked at the three of them.
"I'll have to take action myself. Let me see what kind of pawns you are."
