“Niko…”
The big white bird let out a clear cry and glided downwards to slowly lower its height.
In the distance, a towering city wall is visible, and there is Qing Yu’s destination – Feiyun Pa*s.
Feiyun Pa*s is eight miles in circumference and its walls are connected to the two great mountains of Dayun and Mingwu, making it one of the major border towns of the Northern Zhou.
It was an important barrier to the invasion of the northern gra*slands, along with Bracket Cang Pa*s. However, as the Feiyun Pa*s was a natural danger, and there were many barriers behind it, the first target of the gra*slanders was always the Bracang Pa*s.
After Feng Jiuyu ascended to the throne, Feiyun Pa*s had an additional function besides defending against wolf barbarian invasion. It was to receive all the exiled sinners of the Northern Zhou and become a place of imprisonment for them.
When the decree was issued, many officials objected to the idea of making this important border pa*s a place of imprisonment for sinners. However, Feng Jiuyu forced the order to be implemented quickly.
Moreover, all the criminals who had committed capital offences were transferred to the Flying Cloud Pa*s.
Those who were transferred to the Flying Cloud Pa*s were never heard from again, and even the soldiers who were stationed there never saw them again. Over time, Feiyun Pa*s became known as the Devil’s Land. Anyone who entered this pa*s would have no bones left.
“Oh? Interesting!”
Qing Yu, who was standing on the back of the white phoenix, turned his head to look to his right and laughed lightly, “I didn’t expect to meet an old friend here.”
“Master, it’s been some days since I’ve seen you. I’ve missed you so much!”
A tall figure marched out from behind a distant earthen slope, his eyes burning with hatred staring deadly at the white-haired Daoist on the big white bird, gritting his teeth and saying, “Demon Daoist Qing Yu!”
“Master Xinhui, your grace is more than sorry!”
Qing Yu jumped off the back of the white phoenix and let it depart.
Xinhui’s look at this time was one of great change. At the corner of his eye, there was a bloody cut, which had been made when Xinhui had gone mad and opened his eyes in anger.
With the True Dan realm’s grasp of the body, it’s not that Xinhui couldn’t close this wound, he left it there on purpose. In order to remember the hatred he felt at that moment.
At the neck, there were black lines spreading upwards, bizarre and with a sense of sacredness that stretched to the side of his face, giving Xinhui an evil aura.
The figure is even larger and a little taller than before, more majestic and more explosive.
With such an image, it is no wonder that Xinhui avoids being in front of people. This image does not match that of a Buddhist monk, but rather resembles that of an evil demon.
What really interested Qing Yu was Xinhui’s true qi.
Instead of the golden light of the past, his true qi was a deep and bursting black qi. When viewed with the Heavenly Son Qi Viewing Technique, this black true qi seemed to be composed of anger, sparking anger all the time.
“Interesting true qi, it reminds the poor dao of the ‘karma’ spoken of by the Buddhists.” Qing Yu said with interest.
The good and evil unremembered actions of the body, mouth and mind are also called karma. At this moment, Xinhui was incorporating all his hatred and anger towards Qing Yu, all his negative emotions into his true qi, forming a kind of karma fire true qi.
What he did, all his actions had only one goal, and that was to kill Qing Yu.
“Yes, you are the karmic obstacle of the poor monk. By killing you, the poor monk will be freed.” Xin Hui said calmly.
Although his heart burned with anger, the more he did so, the more calm he seemed. For he would then eradicate this karmic obstacle and gain true liberation.
“Oh? It seems that the poor dao is being used as a stepping stone.” Qing Yu said with a lightly raised eyebrow.
He was also someone who was well-versed in the essence of Buddhism, so he naturally understood what the karmic obstacle Xinhui was referring to was. Xinhui had transferred all his negative emotions onto Qing Yu, and by killing him, he was killing his own karma and seeking liberation from the great good.
Although this practice borders on the evil path and may cause hidden dangers in the future, that little possible hidden danger is not a problem at all when one can advance to the Tong Shen level.
“This method is close to the evil way, and is not to be taken by those of us in the righteous path. Xinhui, today I will eradicate this evil for the Buddhist sect.”
As he rebuked Xinhui’s actions, a golden light glowed from Qing Yu’s body, and there was a faint chanting of Sanskrit sounds, making him seem like a Buddha descending into the world.
For a moment, the place seemed to be divided into two worlds. On one side, the Buddha’s light was bursting forth, and a pure and holy aura lingered around, as if a pure land had descended. On the other side, Xinhui was stimulated, and black true qi burst forth in the form of angry flames, just like a demon king descending into the world.
One was gold and the other was black, a clear distinction, incompatible with water and fire.
“Demon Dao!”
Xinhui recited the name he hated so much, and with one foot on the ground, Angzou’s body shot out like a cannonball.
Luohan Fist.
Although Xinhui had cultivated the “Great Yeh Ming King Sutra”, he still used the martial art he was most familiar with to fight his enemies. The punch came with an overwhelming force.
At this moment, Xinhui’s eyebrows were raised and he was in the shape of an enraged vajra, with the form of a Luohan voodoo demon looming around his body. Although his black true qi makes him look like a demon, he has a holy and awe-inspiring aura.
The fist blade carries the heart of a demon, and in an instant it reaches Qing Yu.
The distance on Luohan’s fist was removed by an invisible vortex, and was forced back by the palm energy that Qing Yu sent out instead.
Luohan unloading.
A strong and soft force, four taels of strength, dissipating the enemy’s attack.
This is the only defensive move in the “Six Divine Skills”, showing the power of defence.
Immediately afterwards, Qingyu’s legs flashed with lightning and disappeared in front of Xinhui.
Thunder God Blast.
And then, there was the Vajra Solution.
An overwhelming fist came from behind Xinhui, one blow hitting his palm as he turned to resist, and the other punching him on the shoulder.
The punch was overwhelming, yet the force was as sharp as an awl, cutting through muscle and flesh with a vicious intensity.
“Roar!”
Xinhui, who was in a disadvantageous position, let out a roar and his Arahant Golden Body exploded out at full strength, ignoring the cracked muscles, his fist blades kept blasting and his body shifted, instantly throwing 18 punches.
“It’s useless to be annoyed and angry.”
Qing Yu laughed softly and moved his body, moving in sync with Xinhui, also throwing punches continuously. When Luohan’s punches struck Qing Yu, they were blocked by a burst of golden light, and a powerful reverberating force reverberated back to Xinhui.
The Golden Bell Shield, which had broken through to the eleventh level, had reached the peak of the True Dan realm in terms of defensive power, and further up to the twelfth level, it was beyond the True Dan realm.
Moreover, Qing Yu’s strength was no longer the same as that outside the Pu Shan Temple. With the sixth turn of the Golden Dan plus the Earth Hegemony Qi Technique which could already increase his power by eight times, the strength of his true qi was no less than that of Xin Hui whose strength had been further refined.
“Monk, your obsession is already too deep, let’s see the poor Tao give a head-butt to wake you up, you stupid monk.”
The palm shadows flew, and the form of Guanyin appeared behind Qing Yu, with a thousand hands and a thousand arms, swift and chaotic palm energy suddenly struck out.
The Guanyin was in chaos.
