Chapter 355 The Plight
Feihong Bodhisattva was in Jiuzhou, and her strength was greatly suppressed by the Immortal Court. Under the circumstances, even though Huang Jingyuan and Chen Jizhen took out their immortal Magic Treasures and used the immortal secret method, they were still seriously injured by Feihong Bodhisattva, which showed that Feihong Bodhisattva was very powerful.
Huang Jingyuan’s and Chen Jizhen’s injuries also showed that the Immortal Court couldn’t compete with the Land Buddhism in the competition for Luck of heaven in Hedong, in terms of the force deployment.
The Immortal Court didn’t expect that the Land Buddhism would send Feihong Bodhisattva, this high-class cultivator, down to the human world.
After the cultivators descended to the human world through Kunlun, their strength would decline greatly and their lives would be at risk. Moreover, even if they completed the mission, they might not be able to return to the immortal territory. Feihong Bodhisattva, this high-class cultivator, was a man of consequence in any place, so the Land Buddhism couldn’t afford to lose her. Now that the immortal territory was at war, she was powerful enough to threaten others and couldn’t be easily transferred.
Therefore, the Taoist Immortal Court only sent 72 Earth Devils down to the human world, but they didn’t expect that the Land Buddhism would send Feihong Bodhisattva to come.
When Li Ye saw the Jade Vase turn to fly to him, his mind worked fast.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, except for surprise.
He wasn’t surprised that Feihong Bodhisattva would suddenly turn to attack him.
The defeat of Huang Jingyuan and Chen Jizhen meant the defeat of the Immortal Court. In the competition for the copper billets and survival in the ruins, when they lost the common opponent, their alliance became meaningless. The demon clan and the Land Buddhism changed from companions into enemies, as soon as Huang Jingyuan and Chen Jizhen were defeated.
Now there must be a winner between the demon clan and the Land Buddhism.
Only the winner could get the copper billets and get out of the ruins before the purple-blue grid entered the city.
Time was limited as the purple-blue grid was already outside the city. Now that everyone’s cultivation was only at Level 1 of Qi-refining, no one could withstand thunder and lightning, even the most ordinary one.
Therefore, Feihong Bodhisattva’s decisive move was within Li Ye’s expectation, even though they fought side by side and talked happily a moment ago.
At this very moment, Li Ye was thinking about and weighing Feihong Bodhisattva’s state.
Feihong Bodhisattva defeated Huang Jingyuan and Chen Jizhen in an instant by a quick and decisive attack.
The alliance between the demon clan and the Land Buddhism was solid yet fragile. Under the circumstances, it was irrational to act too decisively.
Because she didn’t let Li Ye help.
Li Ye didn’t help, so he didn’t pay the price, and he was in a good state.
If she decided to fight Li Ye as soon as she defeated Huang Jingyuan and Chen Jizhen, it would be better that Li Ye was in a bad state so that she could win easily.
Unless Feihong Bodhisattva had absolute certainty. Even if she was in a bad state, while Li Ye was in a good state, she could still defeat Li Ye without any effort.
Li Ye felt Feihong Bodhisattva’s domineering spirit.
If it was true, then Feihong Bodhisattva’s spirit was really domineering.
Li Ye had no time to think more because the Jade Vase already reached in front of him, as if he would be injured and hit backward like Huang Jingyuan at the next moment.
He saw Feihong Bodhisattva’s eyes as pure as lakes in Mt. Tianshan. There was no trace of impurities, not a few waves, but there was only a peaceful, boundless, and ethereal temperament.
Li Ye had no choice, nor did he need to make one. He wielded his sword. The Luke Sword went straight out.
He had to make this move.
“Clank.” Shining with cyan light, the tip of the sword struck the vase. Both the Luke Sword and the Jade Vase paused for a second, but they continued immediately, as if they had never stopped. The Luke Sword bounced back. Li Ye flew straight backward, like being hit by a heavy hammer.
“Bang.” He crashed into the collapsed courtyard wall. Dust sprinkled over his long hair and shoulders.
Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
He was holding the Luke Sword in his hand. Blood ran down his arm, dripping to his side.
He looked straight up at Feihong Bodhisattva with red eyes. But he didn’t get up. Even Huang Jingyuan couldn’t block her strike, nor could he. Feihong Bodhisattva’s strength was indeed very powerful.
When blood spilled from the corner of Li Ye’s mouth, Feihong Bodhisattva also spurted out a mouthful of blood. Her white dress was stained with a drop of blood. She wiped the corner of her mouth casually. She stretched out her hand and retrieved the Jade Vase which was flying back. Then, she jumped into a pavilion, sat cross-legged, and began to regulate her breath with closed eyes.
The battle situation changed dramatically because of this.
In the beginning, the cultivators of the Immortal Court kept being suppressed. There were only fifteen or sixteen of them at the center and on the periphery. They launched a deadly attack suddenly. After the cultivators of the demon clan and the Land Buddhism reacted, they suffered great losses.
Since Huang Jingyuan and Chen Jizhen suppressed the demon clan by the secret method, the cultivators of the demon clan suffered great losses. Li Ye brought seven or eight people to come, and five or six people came successively these days, but now, more than half of them were killed or wounded. Moreover, Yang Tingge’s team had casualties as well. Very few of them were still standing.
All that time, the monks of the Land Buddhism weren’t injured seriously.
After Huang Jingyuan and Chen Jizhen were defeated by Feihong Bodhisattva, a dozen monks of the Land Buddhism, five or six cultivators of the Immortal Court, and three or four cultivators of the demon clan could stand.
Now that Li Ye was seriously injured by Feihong Bodhisattva, he couldn’t get up for a short time. The Land Buddhism already took charge of the battle situation in the ruins. Even if the Immortal Court and the demon clan joined forces, they still couldn’t defeat the Land Buddhism. In addition, they didn’t know how seriously Feihong Bodhisattva was injured and whether she could fight again.
Everything seemed to have been settled, and victory and defeat, also life and death, seemed to have been decided.
However, as soon as Feihong Bodhisattva sat quietly and meditated, changes happened suddenly.
Someone stood up.
They looked like they were injured seriously and had no ability to fight a moment ago, but now they stood up again, upright and in high spirits. Obviously, they still had the power to fight.
Enough to break the balance.
The one who stood up was not Li Ye.
They were Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan.
They jumped up onto the roof and looked around, smiling.
Chen Jizhen sincerely cupped his fists toward Huang Jingyuan. “Brother Huang, you deserve to be the military counselor of the 72 Earth Devils. Your plan was so brilliant that we succeeded in turning defeat into victory!”
Huang Jingyuan left one hand behind his back and touched his beard with the other. He looked around the cultivators of the demon clan and the Immortal Court, like looking at trophies. His eyes stopped at Feihong Bodhisattva and Li Ye for a while. He smiled calmly. “You’re welcome.”
Seeing this scene, the cultivators of the three sides were stunned.
Then, the cultivators of the Immortal Court cheered loudly and attacked the cultivators of the demon clan and the monks of the Land Buddhism, regardless of the disadvantage of the number of people.
The monks of the Land Buddhism stood stunned for the longest time. They were about to celebrate their victory. This sudden change confused them. They felt as disgusted as if they had eaten flies, and they looked at Feihong Bodhisattva oddly.
Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan just pretended to be seriously injured.
How was that possible?
But that was the truth.
The monks of the Land Buddhism once again realized that they were in Jiuzhou, the territory of the Immortal Court. Since the cultivators of the Immortal Court dealt with the outside cultivators here, they had the foundation and advantages far beyond their expectations.
At least beyond Feihong Bodhisattva’s expectation.
In other words, Feihong Bodhisattva’s decisive move didn’t defeat Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan but injured Li Ye. She destroyed the alliance personally and gave the winning chance to the Immortal Court.
The cultivators of the demon clan were all indignant. Yang Tingge and Xiao Hei, who could only sit still originally, were struggling to stand up and ready for the final battle in their lives at this moment.
Huang Jingyuan and Chen Jizhen, undoubtedly, could fight a one-to-many battle. The lack of people of the Immortal Court was nothing now. Besides, the cultivators of the demon clan, who were just betrayed, wouldn’t cooperate with the monks of the Land Buddhism again. As Li Ye couldn’t fight anymore, they were doomed. At this moment, they wished the cultivators of the Immortal Court would kill the monks of the Land Buddhism as soon as possible.
Huang Jingyuan and Chen Jizhen chose the most direct way to end the battle.
They went directly to Feihong Bodhisattva.
The cultivators of the Immortal Court stopped the monks of the Land Buddhism.
Huang Jingyuan’s calm smile finally faded away, and he looked proud. “Feihong Bodhisattva, you really live up to your name. Only when we used this method could we win. And many of us died. How can we be at ease without killing you first?”
Feihong Bodhisattva sat in the pavilion cross-legged. She looked up at them with no fear on her face. Maybe, for her, death was no different from drinking wine.
Li Ye was sitting in front of the collapsed courtyard wall, and no one paid attention to him at this moment.
