Sword Aura to the Heavens

Chapter 475: Chapter 470: Madness

Ye Qinghuang floated into the air after speaking, facing the Buddhist cultivators of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple high above.

"Does Her Highness the Princess intend to protect this fiend?" the tall, thin monk looked at Ye Qinghuang and said.

Among all the powers in the world, the court undoubtedly stands at the top. A mountain, a temple, a monastery, and an academy are slightly below, but after all, this princess was the daughter of the late emperor, so his Ten Thousand Buddha Temple had no fear.

In the heavens and earth surrounding the Qiyun Mountain Range, countless gazes were fixed on Ye Qinghuang. The world now knew that this princess had gone to Li Mountain to cultivate.

And Li Fan was her junior martial brother.

However, how their relationship stood was not so clear to outsiders until now when Ye Qinghuang appeared, the public got a general idea.

"The court invited him to the capital for a discussion, promising that those of the Seven Realms would not intervene, and he came." Ye Qinghuang’s voice was cold as she spoke slowly: "At the Qiyun House’s discussion, various forces took turns making moves, but when it came to your Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, your apprentice Buddha was defeated, and so you all attacked together."

"That would be fine, but when attacking together couldn’t defeat him, the old bald monk of the Seven Realms also broke the rules; this so-called Buddhist Holy Land doesn’t even care about its face anymore."

As Ye Qinghuang spoke, she began to glow with a brilliant golden light. She pulled out a long golden whip, and with a flick of her arm, the whip twirled in the air like a coiling giant dragon, even emitting dragon roars from within.

A wild aura spread out from the whip as the phantom of a True Dragon emerged, seemingly coming to life, attached to the long whip as the golden giant dragon spiraled and danced while breathing towards the Buddhist monks.

"Dragon Suppressing Whip!"

An exclamation echoed from the dojo of Qiyun House below, elders from Qiyun House stared intently at the long whip in Ye Qinghuang’s hands.

Ye Yunke stood up, eyes glowing with excitement.

Ye Xiaochen squinted, focused on that dragon-shaped magical treasure.

All around the Qiyun Mountain Range, shadows flickered as people emerged to stand in the sky. They were people of the court, and they appeared respectful and solemn at that moment.

Dragon Suppressing Whip was an ancestral artifact of the late emperor of Da Li, and even the current Emperor of Da Li had to show respect upon seeing this treasure.

The monks of Ten Thousand Buddha Temple had a slight change of expression upon seeing Ye Qinghuang take out this treasure, their gaze less than calm, especially the lean and mortal monk who stared intently at the object in Ye Qinghuang’s hands.

"His Majesty the Emperor of Da Li himself decreed that those of the Seven Realms must not intervene. Yet here in the capital, under heaven’s dominion, you openly defy this order. Does Ten Thousand Buddha Temple intend to establish a Buddhist court on the faith of Shanzhou believers? Does the order of the Emperor of Da Li have no binding power on your Buddhist Sect?"

After Ye Qinghuang spoke, she suddenly swung the long whip, and the golden dragon swooped down, covering the sky and grabbing towards the lean monk.

She had, indeed, struck directly.

The Buddhist practitioners of Ten Thousand Buddha Temple changed their expression, and the lean monk instantly transformed into a golden body. With a clang, a huge Buddhist bell enveloped his body, engraved with Buddhist patterns, flying out like countless Buddhist Seals.

Rumble...

The extremely wild power descended like slaughter; the golden giant dragon, like an Ancient Divine Dragon, ignored the All Heaven Buddha Seals’ attacks, its massive claws pounded on the Buddhist bell, creating cracks that quickly fractured and shattered.

The lean monk inside shouted, his golden body enlarged, a Buddha appeared, raising a hand to strike the giant dragon, but at that moment, a whip lashed down with a swish noise onto the Buddhist body, the seemingly soft whip transformed as an indestructible Divine Weapon, smashing the golden body in an instant.

"Boom..." Golden Buddhist light was dazzling, and the lean monk’s body flew backward to a direction afar, but a bloody whip mark appeared on his body from the lashes, very few could clearly see how it hit.

"Such a powerful Divine Weapon," countless gazes were fixed on Ye Qinghuang, seeing the golden long whip dance in the air.

This Princess of Da Li, holding the Dragon Suppressing Whip, questioned under the name of the Emperor, confronting the Buddhist practitioners of Ten Thousand Buddha Temple. The faces of the monks were extremely embarrassed, yet none opened their mouth for a while.

Even if the current Emperor of Da Li was present, upon seeing the whip in her hand, he would still have to acknowledge her words.

At this moment, she represents the Da Li Court.

"Today, if anyone dares to interfere in the discussion, the court will undoubtedly execute them." Ye Qinghuang’s voice was cold, as if her words represented the one in the Imperial Palace.

Although the world knew she was the daughter of the former emperor, at this moment, no one dared to question her.

Even the two princes of Da Li, stayed quiet, listening.

Ye Xiaochen glanced at Li Fan. For this genius Sword Cultivator from Li Mountain, his royal sister was willing to use her status as a royal princess.

She had previously not been willing to return to the palace, unwilling to be entangled with the current royal family, choosing to cultivate at Li Mountain to draw a line.

But for Li Fan, she finally compromised?

If not using the royal name, how could she suppress the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple?

"Is this the intention of His Majesty, or is it yours?" The big-eared monk’s eyes focused on Ye Qinghuang, his pupils seemed to contain Buddhist light.

"Why don’t you go ask in the Imperial Palace?"

Ye Qinghuang replied coldly, ignoring him and instead looking at Li Fan below, her eyes softened, as if indicating for Li Fan to do what he wanted.

"Senior sister."

Li Fan’s murderous gaze gradually softened, looking at the peerless figure, the golden glow in his eyes seemed to fade, and the demonic energy around him lessened.

Memories flashed in his mind, when he was younger, whenever he needed it, there was always that figure standing by his side, holding his hand or shielding him.

In scene after scene, that unmatched figure in white was unparalleled in the world.

"Your senior sister is so good to you, she’s already shielding you, what are you waiting for, won’t you kill them?" A tempting voice echoed in his mind, and the blackness in Li Fan’s eyes receded, revealing the golden pupils with a demonic allure.

"Boom..."

An extremely wild aura radiated out, demonic energy covering the sky, spreading towards the Qiyun Mountain Range in a distance.

Even the cultivators on the distant street could feel the strength of the demonic energy at this moment.

Was he a demon?

Of course not.

How could Li Mountain choose a demon as the heir of Sword Dao, and how could that unparalleled Immortal protect a demon?

He was the unparalleled genius of Sword Dao, the heir of Sword Dao on Li Mountain, the disciple of Zuo Canglan, the junior martial brother of Ye Qinghuang.

But at this moment, he had been forced into a demon from an unmatched Sword Cultivator.

The world seemed to want to kill him.

Frenzied demonic energy roared towards a direction, a Buddhist practitioner was shocked, seeing a mass of golden demonic mist rolling towards him at incredible speed, Li Fan’s figure nearly indistinguishable.

With golden body attached, he simultaneously punched out, golden fists scattering across the sky into the demonic mist.

With a snap...

A crisp sound was heard, the golden body shattered, skull burst open, and a colossal demon dragon’s claw pried open his skull, blood spraying into the air.

After killing him, the demonic energy enveloped his body and vanished instantly, rushing towards another direction, a Buddhist practitioner from that direction pointed a finger, the Great Wheel Heavenly Finger fell, blood sprayed but landed on his companion. In his moment of distraction, a remnant shadow passed by, and before he could escape, his body was impaled, leaving a gaping hole in his chest.

"He’s gone mad."

Surrounding Buddhist practitioners showed intense auras, their eyes shooting sharp lights. Previously, Sword Cultivator Li Fan was strong but rational, but now, he had turned into a human-shaped demon, a killing machine.

If this continues, they’ll all die.

They knew that their power was no match for Li Fan, even the Void Cicada Buddha Son had his body destroyed, and they had to surround an injured Li Fan to have a chance to kill him.

But now, with Li Fan turned demon and killing wildly, many of them had already been slain.

"Lu, why don’t you act to eliminate the demon?"

The big-eared monk spoke in a loud voice, gaze looking towards Lu Changsheng.

These Buddhist practitioners besieging Li Fan were also elites among elites from the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, all top-tier combatants of the Sixth Realm, yet they died tragically one by one.

They wanted to act, but were subdued by Ye Qinghuang.

Now, only Lu Changsheng could stop the fiend.
