"Phoenix Divine Fire!"
"Phoenix Palace Master!"
"Impossible?!"
"How can you be in Da Jing Zhongjing?!"
Master Qiu Yan and Master Qi Zhi exclaimed in disbelief.
The next moment, the two didn’t even stop, they immediately withdrew their spells and turned to leave.
However, not only was the surrounding area ravaged by the Phoenix Divine Fire, but there was also a layer of Innate Cloud Qi, which had unknowingly wrapped around them.
"Innate Cloud Qi!"
"You’ve actually learned Innate Cloud Qi? Aren’t you an Outer Disciple of the White Cloud Temple?"
Master Qiu Yan and Master Qi Zhi, whose level is just like Master Yun Ning, are not even as good as Master Lin Yi. It’s unknown where they got the confidence to dare provoke Lu Zheng.
Not to mention Si Lingxi being on the side, even if Si Lingxi wasn’t there, these two couldn’t achieve their desires.
A White Cloud Banner fluttered behind Lu Zheng, Innate Cloud Qi spread out in all directions, surrounding Master Qiu Yan and Master Qi Zhi completely.
Only then did the two old monks realize that Lu Zheng’s cultivation was not weaker than theirs.
Then, a wisp of Phoenix Divine Fire shimmering with golden-red light ignited at their feet. Even when they used all their Buddha Power, they could not withstand the penetrating force of the Phoenix Divine Fire.
"Sect Leader Si, please wait! This is a misunderstanding!"
"We will retreat immediately, but please withdraw the Divine Fire!"
Si Lingxi gave a cold smile, "Lu Lang just gave you a chance."
"Lu Lang?"
"You all!"
The surrounding Phoenix Divine Fire was terrifying beyond measure, its overwhelming pressure made the two of them breathless, leaving them with no doubt that this was the Southern Border Fire Phoenix in person.
But the question is...
Why would Si Lingxi call Lu Zheng "Langjun"?
Master Qiu Yan and Master Qi Zhi felt their minds were not keeping up, more shocked than actually seeing Si Lingxi in person.
Unfortunately, neither Si Lingxi nor Lu Zheng had any intention of replying to them.
From the moment they decided to blockade, there was no chance for peaceful resolution.
Feeling the Phoenix Divine Fire underfoot rapidly wearing away their own Buddha Power, Zen Master Qiu Yan raised his hand, making a string of Prayer Beads hover in front of him, releasing Infinite Buddha Light, barely blocking the Divine Fire for the moment.
Then he tried to rush forward to escape.
However, the golden-red Phoenix Divine Fire surged like ocean waves, instantly driving him back to the original spot.
Master Qi Zhi also took a magical Alms Bowl in his hand, with a flick of the wrist, he absorbed a lot of Divine Fire into it. Although he blocked the Phoenix Divine Fire, his attempt to escape was halted by the strands of Innate Cloud Qi entwining him.
Then, the Phoenix Divine Fire surged up again, and the brown Alms Bowl began to flicker with an unstable red glow, clearly starting to reach its limits.
There’s no denying it, these two old monks were indeed high monks of the Great Brahma Heaven Temple. Their Dao Practice and Magical Artifacts were indeed notable, even though Si Lingxi took action, she couldn’t kill them instantly.
However...
"Donor Lu, please ask Sect Leader Si to stop!"
"Donor Lu, the Great Brahma Heaven Temple and White Cloud Temple have no enmity, please stop!"
"Donor Lu, do you intend to incite a battle between the White Cloud Temple and the Great Brahma Heaven Temple?"
"Donor Lu, do you want to leave the two of us here? Previously, I had no intention of killing you!"
But it was evident that these two old monks could hold on for a while, but they had no hope of escaping.
And without hope of escape, facing the endless Phoenix Divine Fire, the outcome was pretty much set.
Whether it was lasting a cup of tea’s time or an incense stick’s time.
"No intention of killing me?"
Lu Zheng let out a cold laugh, "You two have lived for hundreds of years, the hatred of killing my father, the disgrace of taking my wife, these are life-and-death enmities, killing someone’s heart.
You didn’t kill me, but you intended to destroy me.
Since that’s the case, I also have no intention of killing, surely both of your hearts are aligned with the Buddhist Dharma, I’m not killing you, but sending you to the Western Paradise to meet Buddha."
"Amitabha Buddha!"
Master Qiu Yan glared in anger, "The Buddha Country’s team is already on their way back, aren’t you afraid of inciting a war between the Great Brahma Heaven Temple and the White Cloud Temple?"
The implication was clear, the returning monks of the Great Brahma Heaven Temple knew they were here to find Lu Zheng.
"If you have the ability, come!" Lu Zheng sneered, "Whether it’s ascending Shangbaiyun Mountain, or coming directly to find me, I welcome you. If you have the ability, call upon the other Western Buddhist Temples!"
Master Qiu Yan, "..."
"Amitabha Buddha!"
Master Qi Zhi saw that Lu Zheng had made up his mind, with the Phoenix Divine Fire rolling in from all directions, if they continued to hold out, they would surely die.
"Qiu Yan."
Master Qi Zhi called to Master Qiu Yan, and then resolutely said, "Abandon the physical body, with Buddha Light protecting the Divine Soul enter the Netherworld!"
"What?"
Master Qiu Yan was startled, "Without a physical body to protect, there is no way forward, and how long can the remaining Buddha Light protect us in the Netherworld?"
"It’s better than being burned clean by the Phoenix Divine Fire, there’s still a glimmer of hope."
Master Qi Zhi said, then he sat cross-legged mid-air, radiating a halo from behind his head, barely keeping the Heaven-Boiling and Sea-Boiling Phoenix Divine Fire at bay, his Divine Soul exited his body, with a slightly transparent small version of Master Qi Zhi appearing in the center of the halo.
At the same time, a small Demon-Subduing Pestle appeared in Master Qi Zhi’s Divine Soul’s hand, emanating a halo of Buddha Light and protecting him.
The next moment, Master Qi Zhi’s Divine Soul moved, connecting Yin and Yang, just as he was about to enter the Netherworld...
"Chirp——"
A resounding Phoenix Cry suddenly reverberated in his Divine Soul True Spirit.
The surrounding space was instantly sealed, Master Qi Zhi’s Divine Soul trembled violently, the Buddha Light flickered, and he couldn’t help but let out a miserable cry, his path was broken by Si Lingxi, and he had to retreat back into his physical body.
However, due to underestimating Si Lingxi’s strength, after such reckless maneuvers, Master Qi Zhi’s Divine Soul was severely injured, his physical body lost its protection, and the Phoenix Divine Fire had already reached him.
"Brother, save me!"
Master Qi Zhi called out, then felt a strand of golden-red, overbearing Phoenix Divine Fire, dart lightning-fast into his Dantian and Sea of Consciousness.
The next moment, in Master Qiu Yan’s eyes, Master Qi Zhi glowed red from within, then with a "boom", he became a humanoid torch.
Then, in just three breaths, Master Qi Zhi’s Divine Soul was annihilated without a trace, his internal Buddha Power dissipated, and being burned by the Phoenix Divine Fire, his entire being turned into a wisp of green smoke, with not even a Relic left.
"Brother!"
Master Qiu Yan was heartbroken, never imagining that Master Qi Zhi, who was determined to survive by sacrificing his tail, would die before him!
"Lu Zheng! The Great Brahma Heaven Temple shall be at eternal enmity with you!"
"I’ll be waiting." Lu Zheng replied coldly, then raised his hand, and nine meteors shot out, punching nine holes in the presumably weakening Protective Buddha Light desperately trying to block the Phoenix Divine Fire.
"Buzz!"
Moments later, Fortune was accounted.
