Chapter 141: Chapter 85: The Gluttonous Rat Devours the Buddha, Li Xuan Becomes a Rainbow
Fragmented armor...
The Feather Robe vessel is filthy, yet it still "descends"...
The Yu Sect’s secret ritual invites the Buddha, but it summons a demon...
Various thoughts and inexplicable images flash through Li Xuan’s mind.
Everything seems to have been preordained, long foretold.
But the bald brute isn’t idle; he continues to interrogate, asking for some details.
In the midst of questioning, the headless "Buddha" suddenly frowns and asks, "Are you truly sincere in swearing brotherhood with me?"
The bald brute replies, "Alright, alright, I won’t ask anymore. Follow me."
With that, he leads the way into the deep mountains.
The headless "Buddha" follows closely behind.
The mountain path narrows, and the moonlight slopes between steep peaks, illuminating a single pale white path.
The bald brute and the headless "Buddha" proceed one after the other.
Suddenly, the headless "Buddha" pauses, slowly turns his head, and looks behind.
Behind him, a dark figure, over a yard tall, has suddenly appeared.
The figure wears deer antlers, rides a pig, and wields a sword.
The headless "Buddha" swiftly turns to the bald brute, asking warily, "What does this mean?"
Li Xuan is merely interrogating; if he can’t extract more answers, he can’t leave this demon for constant questioning.
Though the demon surely knows many secrets, if he doesn’t strike while the iron is hot, the situation will spiral out of his control.
Greed and ambition often lead people to harbor delusions, forget about danger.
Li Xuan dares not forget danger.
So, since the questions yield no answers.
It’s time to see the dagger at the map’s end.
Through the final glance of his bone bird, he already sees Secret Martial Arts warriors swiftly searching the mountains, though still far away, it’s only a matter of time before they come here.
They belong to the Prime Minister’s mansion, possibly including those two demonic masters—Xie Feng, Li Jingfei.
He must kill the headless "Buddha" before then, and then leave, ending his "adventure in the mountains."
Today, the headless "Buddha" must die!
The bald brute hears the headless "Buddha’s" inquiry, chuckles wickedly, draws a knife from behind, and says viciously, "You fool, do you think you can walk out of here alive today?"
The headless "Buddha" freezes at the words, bares fangs, showing furious tusks, mouse claws shoot out with a "swish," transforming into five sharp claws, gleaming coldly in the chilling moonlight.
Thunk!!
The headless "Buddha" moves, claws gripping the cliff, body like electricity scaling the dark ridge to escape, then he plans to reclaim his incense statue and the "Peacock Great Ming Monarch’s corpse entrance."
But as soon as he moves, a dark vajra giant shadow flashes from above.
The giant shadow descends, "thump thump," rapidly approaching him.
A cloud of darkness spreads its arms wide, holding the headless "Buddha" tightly, then like a meteor, they plummet from mid-air.
Crash!!
The rocky ground cracks, splitting into a yard-wide spider web.
The dark vajra wholly pins down the headless "Buddha."
The headless "Buddha" opens his mouth to bite the dark vajra.
Yet the dark vajra doesn’t yield an inch, its head swings like a pendulum, then slams down hard.
Boom!!
The headless "Buddha’s" pointed mouth gets a hard hit, retreating painfully.
The dark vajra presses him down firmly, ignoring pain, uses its head as a fist to pound violently.
Airflow is chaotic, turbulent.
Each upward swing sounds like a siege ballista pulled to its limit with a strained bowstring’s "crack."
And that momentous downward blow sounds like a roaring iron locomotive plummeting.
Li Xuan’s demonic form inherits his attributes, its topping force is terrifyingly intimidating.
Vajra bowing!
Boom boom boom boom boom!!
The canyon echoes like thunder.
The headless "Buddha" dared not take another of those head bashings, swiftly dodging, twisting his mouse head, then attempting to roll over and bite the dark vajra’s neck.
Meanwhile, both the pig-riding deer-antlered giant shadow and the vicious bald brute rush forward.
In a flash, the headless "Buddha" screeches, slips out from under the vajra’s suppression, and bolts like lightning to escape.
Today, it admits defeat.
This escape, it flashes more than ten yards away.
However, while fast, the pig-riding deer-antlered giant shadow isn’t slow either.
Pig hooves pound the ground, shooting right past.
The headless "Buddha’s" beady eyes lock onto the road ahead, suddenly its hind legs tighten as if something grabs them, and, next instant, its body loses balance, crashing heavily.
The pig-riding deer-antlered giant shadow clutches its leg, mercilessly swinging him side-to-side like threshing grain.
During this time, the dark vajra also races up, grabbing its neck, viciously pressing it into the rock.
Immense force causes the rock to crack inch by inch.
The headless "Buddha" seems more pressed into "stony water flow" than stone.
Hard rock directly crumbles into infinite fragments, like boulders splashing into a river.
The pig-riding deer-antlered giant shadow proves mind-linked, cooperating perfectly, he draws a sword, swings his arms, the giant shadow’s dark muscles burst "boom boom."
The sword lifts to the top, then smoothly, fiercely slashes down.
Almost as the headless "Buddha" is embedded in the rock, that sword light forms a dazzling arc, cutting across the headless "Buddha’s" neck.
The headless "Buddha" roars, neck fur pricks out screeching, each like a sword, shooting up the dark vajra’s arm, blocking the sword light.
Clang!!
The sword presses against mouse fur.
The headless "Buddha" turns red.
The pig-riding deer-antlered giant shadow also maintains the downward striking posture.
