Half-Step Martial God (1)

[5: Why be so desperate? If Xu Ningyan could advance to the Half-Step Martial God realm and join forces with Shenshu, he could barely be considered a Transcendent Rank Martial God. Then there would still be room for everyone to sit down and negotiate.]

Also in the Southern Frontier, Lina, who was enjoying the roasted meat offered by the demon soldiers, chimed in at the opportune moment.

Li Lingsu was speechless for a moment, but after thinking about it, it seemed to make sense.

The experiences of Shenshu and Buddha told them that although Half-Step Martial God was no match for Transcendent Rank Martial God, surely two Half-Step Martial God combined wouldn't be easily defeated by Transcendent Rank Martial God?

In this way, Great Feng indeed has the leverage to sit at the negotiating table.

[Second: That damned Xu Ningyan, he's been at sea for months, and we still don't know what's going on.]

Li Miaozhen's indignant speech.

"Junior sister, be mindful of your identity. You are Lanlian of the Earth Sect and the Heaven Sect Holy Maiden of the Heaven Sect. You are not one of those common women in Xu Ningyan. "Li Lingsu silently defended her junior sister's dignity.

[1. Order the Arhat Du'e to return to the capital immediately. I am not at ease leaving him in Leizhou, as the three Bodhisattva have not yet made their move.]

Given this turn of events, recalling the founder of Mahayana Buddhism to the capital was the safest course of action.

At least the capital city still has First Rank Land Immortal in charge, as well as several Transcendent Realm.

[Eight: There's no going back; several Transcendent from the Shaman God Cult are eyeing us covetously.]

Asuro answered.

Although Salun Agu and the others were far away, Asuro had already sensed it. Of course, the Great Shaman had no intention of hiding it.

Salun Agu also felt a slight tingling sensation on his scalp in Huaiqing, Leizhou.

The Shaman God Cult Fate to the Buddha, and now it's here to "watch the battle"—its intentions are despicable!

This is a scheme to strike at a crucial moment with underhanded tactics. Arhat Du'e returns to the capital now, he will most likely be walking into the lion's den.

But what would happen to Shenshu if Daoist Jinlian and the other Transcendent were to return together?

With Transcendent like Daoist Jinlian and Asuro around, they can at least assist Shenshu and help him solve some troubles.

[Nine: The leaders of the Gu Race are also here.]

Daoist Jinlian added a sentence.

Although the leaders of the Gu Race were generally only at the Third Rank rank and unable to form a main force, their seven Gu Arts were unpredictable and could barely restrain the Shaman God Cult Huaiqing breathed a sigh of relief and sent a message:

[1. Report the battle situation in real time. If circumstances permit, I will immediately send the Grand Preceptor and Dean Zhao to Leizhou.]

She put down the Earth Book Fragment, looked at Wei Yuan and the other two in the hall, and quickly explained the situation.

Zhao Shou pondered for a moment and said:

"I have sent Yang Gong with the Confucian Sage's Carving Knife to Leizhou to provide support. As for me, I will remain in the capital."

He was wary that someone might take advantage of the situation and seize the capital.

The three Bodhisattva of Buddhist Order have not yet appeared.

Wang Zhenwen's expression was serious:

"Have Yang Gong take the teleportation jade talisman to Leizhou first. The Imperial Preceptor Daoist Chief Luo will remain in the capital for now. Once the Bodhisattva of Buddhist Order appears, the Imperial Preceptor will provide immediate support."

Wei Yuan didn't interrupt; Wang Zhenwen's arrangement was fine.

The current concern is for Buddhist Order Bodhisattva to attack the capital, while the Shaman God Cult is not a concern because Buddhist Order no longer has the concept of a "home base," and the Shaman God Cult's Shaman God has not yet broken the seal.

The Buddhist Order sect can disregard their families at this stage, but the Shaman God Cult dares not fight them to the death.

Zhao Shou waved his sleeve, his voice ringing out powerfully:

Yang Gong is right beside me.

A beam of clear light rose from the side, outlining the appearance of Yang Gong, the Layman Ziyang.

He was wearing a scarlet official robe and was working in the yamen (government office).

"."

Despite having seen many Confucian School legalist tactics, this "say what you mean and do what you say" style still struck the three people in the hall as absurd, leaving them speechless.

"Dean?"

Yang Gong looked around and, seeing the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, immediately frowned:

What happened?

Zhao Shou briefly explained the situation to him, and Yang Gong listened with a furrowed brow and a heavy heart.

Huaiqing said sincerely:

Thank you for your trouble, sir.

When she was studying at the Cloud Deer Academy, she became a disciple of the Layman Ziyang.

Yang Gong nodded and was about to accept when a beam of light suddenly shot out from his sleeve and struck Huaiqing hard on the head.

Huaiqing was stunned for a moment. Relying on his martial arts instincts, he reached out and grabbed Qingguang. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was a ruler.

She looked at Yang Gong with some surprise.

Are they going to assassinate the emperor?

Yang Gong sighed:

"Your Majesty, please do not address me as 'Sir,' and when you do, please refrain from using words such as 'Please enlighten me' or 'Thank you for your trouble.'"

He waved his hand and put the ruler into his sleeve.

He then explained:

"I nurtured this creature using the Three Character Classic, as the saying goes, 'It is the father's fault if he raises it without teaching it, and the teacher's laziness if he teaches it without strictness.'"

So you beat up students on sight? Huaiqing pursed his lips and said seriously:

"Very responsible!"

Yang Gong gave a wry smile, "I'll take Your Majesty's words as a sincere compliment."

Knowing that time was of the essence, he said nothing more, but with a wave of his sleeve, he replicated Zhao Shou's previous actions and said loudly:

"The Confucian Sage's Carving Knife, come see me at once!"

To save time, he attempted to summon the Confucian Crown.

But there was no response.

Everyone turned to look at the Layman Ziyang. Yang Gong blushed and immediately said:

I am currently at the Cloud Deer Academy.

A clear light rose from beneath his feet and vanished from the spot.

"Bang!"

The ground beneath Shenshu's feet exploded, sending clumps of earth and flesh flying, clearing a vacuum zone several meters in diameter.

He himself, like a high-speed cannonball, shot towards the Buddha.

Behind the Buddha to the right, a phantom Dharma Idol flashed by and disappeared instantly, leaving Shenshu -handed.

Immediately afterwards, the figure of the Buddha appeared behind Shenshu, while the Vajra Dharma Idol, symbolizing conquest and power, stood out to the left rear.

Twelve pairs of arms were raised simultaneously.

When!

With a clanging sound like striking iron, Shenshu staggered backward, while the flesh and blood beneath the Buddha's feet rippled like water, neutralizing the fist force of the Half-Step Martial God.

Behind the Buddha, who did not retreat, another figure Fuxian, Great Compassion and Great Mercy Dharma Idol.

The chanting of Buddhist hymns resounded throughout heaven and earth, dispelling all anger and hostility.

The golden roulette wheel spun in reverse, and the three characters "Asura" written in golden Buddhist Script lit up.

The Shenshu aura declined at a perceptible speed, its jet-black skin became more prominent, its head first became illusory, then its right arm became illusory, and only then did the power of the Wheel of Reincarnation run out.

Reversing the Great Reincarnation Dharma Idol weakens the Shenshu to its past state, while turning it in the right direction propels it towards the future.

Half-Step Martial God has an endless lifespan, so turning forward is meaningless.

Shenshu had only recently recovered to his peak condition, and a reversal would effectively weaken him.

In the distance, Asuro's aura also showed a slight downward trend. As a fellow Asura Race, he could not avoid it, but this place was too far away, on the edge of the area covered by the power of the Great Reincarnation Dharma Idol.

The reduction wasn't severe.

Another Dharma Idol appeared behind the Buddha, with lowered eyes holding a flower, and a halo symbolizing wisdom behind his head reversed.

Shenshu's eyes suddenly lost their luster and became dull, as if he had forgotten that he was in a dangerous place.

During this process, behind the Buddha, the vast ocean composed of dark red flesh and blood once again split open its mouths, slowly spitting out a miniature golden sun.

The Buddha's light enveloped the world.

These miniature golden suns converged toward the phantom image behind the Buddha's head, growing larger and larger until the Buddha's light illuminated the entire world, turning even night into day.

How terrifying it would be if the Buddha were to possess all nine of the Dharma Idol.

Li Miaozhen and Daoist Jinlian out, raising their hands in perfect unison and turning clockwise toward Shenshu in the distance.

They sacrificed their own blessings to bestow upon the Shenshu favor.

At the same time, golden light shone from their eyes as they attempted to awaken Shenshu with the power of the Yang Spirit.

However, the power of the Yang Spirit was dissipated and purified in the Buddha's light, and it failed to have any effect.

"Spells won't work, we need to try something else!"

Chu Yuanzhen said in a deep voice:

"Miaozhen, lend me your flying sword."

His sword had already been destroyed by the Buddha's corruption.

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen high-quality flying swords flew to Chu Yuanzhen's front, ready for him to choose.

It wasn't Li Miaozhen's magic weapon; it belonged to Sun Xuanji.

One is enough. Chu Yuanzhen casually grabbed a handful and ran his left hand along the blade.

Suddenly, the sword exuded intense emotions: greed, anger, ignorance, hatred, love, evil, and desire—as if it were an aggregate of all human nature.

This was the Karmic Fire that Chu Yuanzhen had specially requested from Luo Yuheng before his journey. He sealed it within his body, and by using this power properly, he could briefly elevate his swordsmanship to Transcendent.

Chu Yuanzhen threw his flying sword, not at the Buddha, but at Shenshu.

He wanted to awaken Shenshu with intense Karmic Fire.

Karmic Fire is neither a form of magic nor an element of heaven and earth.

The flying sword transformed into a streak of light, like a luminous thin line, and struck Shenshu's back.

But at that moment, the world lost its color, and everything within a hundred feet of Shenshu turned black and white.

The Formless Liuli Domain.

The flying sword solidified within the domain before crashing to the ground.

At this time, the great sun on the back of the Buddha's head had grown to a diameter of over ten meters, and the skin of the Shenshu began to dissolve.

Chu Yuanzhen's expression changed slightly.

"When!"

A loud bell suddenly rang out, its sound deafening, shaking Primordial Spirit and causing one's blood to surge.

Li Miaozhen was horrified to discover that even as Daoist Order Yang Spirit, she was showing signs of leaving her body.

The one who rang the bell was Sun Xuanji. He held a brass hammer engraved with array patterns in his hand, and a bronze bell as tall as two people floated in front of him.

Ding ding ding.

Sun Xuanji struck the bronze bell with all his might. Each strike produced ripples of clear light that accompanied the sound of the bell, and the patterns engraved on the bell immediately lit up, showing faint signs of emerging.

Blood was oozing from his eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth, but he never stopped wielding the brass hammer.

Upon hearing the bell, Shenshu's pupils flickered slightly, a hint of awakening in him.

The Great Reincarnation Dharma Idol burst forth with intense radiance, the halo behind the head of the Pharmacist Dharma Idol accelerated its reversal, the lips of the Great Compassion and Great Mercy Dharma Idol opened and closed, and the chanting in the world became louder, gradually drowning out the sound of the bell.

The Great Sun Reincarnation Dharma Idol behind the Buddha's head grew increasingly intense, accumulating more and more, rapidly extinguishing his Shenshu vitality.

"The bell sound effect is enhanced tenfold."

A voice, like that of chanting, suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

A clear light rose and faded in the distance, and Yang Gong, wearing the Sub-Sage's Confucian Crown, finally arrived at the battlefield.

When!

The bell tolled throughout the heavens and earth, like a thunderclap in a clear sky.

Chu Yuanzhen and Hengyuan's Primordial Spirit were directly shaken out of their bodies. Du'e and Asuro sat cross-legged with their palms together, using their Zen skills to resist the attack.

Daoist Jinlian and Li Miaozhen withstood the tolling of the bell thanks to the power of their Yang Spirit, but they experienced waves of dizziness, nausea, and vomiting.

The bronze hammer in Sun Xuanji's hand fell from his grasp, his body plummeted from the sky, and his Primordial Spirit was also shaken out.

Seeing this, Yang Gong raised his hands and supported the physical bodies of Chu Yuanzhen, Hengyuan, and Sun Xuanji from a distance.

On the other side, Shenshu's ears twitched slightly, and the sound of bells echoed in his mind. He instantly broke free from the various control spells, his consciousness returned, and he realized his current situation.

Ahead lay the perfectly formed sun.

This great sun slowly rose, then crashed into Shenshu at a seemingly slow but actually extremely fast speed.

The other Dharma Idol were not idle; they continued to exert their power, attempting to "strip" Shenshu consciousness once again.

Keep hitting!

Yang Gong cried out, and then spat out a mouthful of blood.

The spell backlash isn't a big problem.

Daoist Jinlian reached out and grabbed the copper hammer, then slammed it hard onto the bronze bell.

Ding ding ding.

The resounding bells echoed in every corner, helping Shenshu to stabilize his consciousness and resist the influence of the Dharma Idol.

This Half-Step Martial God let out a deep roar, his body suddenly expanding into a thirty-zhang-tall pitch-black Dharma Idol. His twelve pairs of muscular arms spread out and raised towards the sky, holding back the Great Sun Reincarnation Dharma Idol.

overseas.

The Nine-Tailed Fox stood on the sea surface, surrounded by all sorts of fish and shrimp corpses, so densely packed that they almost covered the surface.

Fish and shrimp carcasses bobbed and sank in the murky waves; very few of them remained intact.

That's not all. By this time, the waves had gradually calmed down. At their most intense, giant waves rose hundreds of meters high, pushing away wave after wave of marine carcasses.

It was over. She breathed a sigh of relief and waited on the sea for nearly fifteen minutes. When the vixen didn't see the stinky man fleeing in disarray, she knew that her plan had succeeded.

She immediately twisted her waist and plunged into the carcasses of fish and shrimp.

Eight tails, like tentacles, propelled her rapidly downwards. The light above her head gradually dimmed until it disappeared. The Nine-Tailed Fox fox flicked out several beams of white light, which drifted down like will-o'-the-wisps.

It illuminates the murky seawater.

After diving for a long time, the foxfire illuminated a gigantic monster, its size immeasurable. The part of the monster illuminated by the foxfire was merely the tip of the iceberg.

The Nine-Tailed Fox fox scanned the monster's single eye with its divine sense and detected Xu Qi'an.

She gathered the foxfire, illuminating Silver Gong Xu's figure.

He was completely naked, without a single piece of clothing. His granite-like muscles were well-proportioned and muscular, and his limbs were intact, showing no signs of injury.

That's understandable. For First Rank Martial Warrior, unless they die, any injury can be healed in an instant.

But his aura had weakened considerably, to the point that the Nine-Tailed Fox felt she could easily defeat this crude martial artist.

"Hey, how can you be such a pervert? Turn off the lights right now!"

Silver Gong Xu was a dignified person, so he turned his body slightly to the side, not letting her see his precious treasure.

The Nine-Tailed Fox said irritably:

Look how smug you are.

"Quickly absorb His essence and see if you can advance to the Half-Step Martial God."

She was filled with immense anticipation, about to witness the birth of a Half-Step Martial God.
