Chapter 245 - 245: 244. Other than Listening to Me, You Have No Choice
The battle between the Blood River Divine Sword and the Divine Martial Demonic Fist continued.
Fists and swords came and went, but the killing intent was still boiling.
However, the atmosphere between the two sides had already begun to change.
The sharp and gloomy voice of the Blood River Swordsman rang out, “”Don’t think you’re so smart.”
“Make your own choice,” Chen Luoyang said indifferently.
The Blood River Inheritor fell silent again.
If one were to ask him for his first reaction, the most honest answer would be…Fear!
Because his biggest secret was known by others.
He had an internal problem during his cultivation, so he had no choice but to rely on Liufang powder to heal and suppress it.
However, he could only barely control it and could not break the roots.
Only he knew the pain he felt.
But what was worse was that the fragrance was gradually becoming rarer in
the mortal world.
The prescription had been lost, and the finished medicine was almost extinct.
Not many people used this medicine in the first place, so no one deliberately spent time on it and sought to restore the prescription of the Fragrance Powder.
There was a possibility that a spirit herb would be lost, but to the vast majority of people, this was insignificant.
However, to Blood River Swordsman, it was like a rope around his neck. It was getting tighter and tighter, and he began to feel suffocated.
It was as if he was watching himself walk towards the cliff step by step, but he could not stop at all.
Without Liufang powder, he would not have lost his life.
However, if he could not suppress that hidden disease, it would inevitably lead to a large decline in his strength.
When the time came, he didn’t need enemies from the outside to find trouble. If his enemies in the Blood River found out, he would immediately be in trouble.
The reason why he valued Yan Mingkong was not because he had any thoughts about the Nether Sword Art.
Such a fierce sword technique was not suitable for him to cultivate in his current physical condition.
They wanted to find Yan Mingkong and obtain the Nether Swordsmanship because they had made a great contribution to the sect or because they had been rewarded and valued by some top figure.
This way, even without Liufang powder, he could rest easy.
However, it would be best if he could obtain the Fragrance Powder, especially if he could obtain the prescription.
Although he still had to consider the difficulty of refining the medicine and the problem of collecting the raw materials, he could at least build a bridge for him to pass through the path filled with cliffs.
Protecting Yuan Chen to lure Yan Mingkong out and whether or not he could capture Yan Mingkong was also unknown.
If he really wanted to talk about the possibility of success, it was probably not as good as the opportunity to obtain the prescription of the Liufang powder.
However, facing Chen Luoyang now, Blood River Swordsman felt extremely depressed and uneasy.
He was depressed because he was being held in Chen Luoyang’s hands.
Originally, he wanted to use the price of not participating in the siege of Chen Luoyang to ensure that Yuan Chen could be saved. The initiative was in his hands.
The danger was on Yuan Chen. If this demon monk really died, he would continue to think of a way out of his anger.
But now, the initiative had completely fallen into Chen Luoyang’s hands.
The other party knew his secret.
Even if Chen Luoyang didn’t provide the prescription for the Fragrance Powder and only threatened to spread this secret, he would be able to weigh the pros and cons.
The danger was not on Yuan Chen, but on Blood River Swordsman himself.
This made it difficult for the person to suppress the rage and killing intent in his heart, but it was immediately suppressed by reason. At the same time, fear could not be suppressed in his heart.
He really couldn’t understand how this young man in front of him knew about his secret.
This person was active in the Divine Lands, and they had never interacted before. How could he know so much about him in the Mortal World?
Even the Red Dust Ancient Gods Clan’s main sect could not possibly know such a secret, right?
How did this kid know?
At this moment, Blood River Swordsman was filled with indescribable fear and confusion.
When Chen Luoyang said the words ” Fragrant Flowing Powder “, the Blood River Swordsman was almost stunned on the spot.
This was definitely not a scam.
She really knew his background.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to hit the vital point so accurately.
There were not many people in the mortal world who cared about a spirit herb like the Fragrant Flowing Powder.
It was just a random guess. He did not have to guess Liufang powder. The probability of getting it was so small that it could be completely ignored.
Blood River Swordsman was bewildered.
At this moment, he was filled with fear towards Chen Luoyang and didn’t even dare to have the thought of silencing him. Only the heavens knew if there was someone standing behind him.
As for capturing Chen Luoyang and torturing him to force him to hand over the Fragrance Flowing Powder’s medicinal formula, there was no need to even think about it.
Taking ten thousand steps back, there was no one standing behind the other party.
However, with the strength that Chen Luoyang had displayed, it was impossible to capture him alive.
At the very least, it was impossible for the Blood River Swordsman to do it alone. He needed the help of the western paradise, the South Chu Empire, and even the Heavenly River Branch.
But even so, there was no way to guarantee that they could capture Chen Luoyang. It was even more likely that a few people would die and everyone would perish together.
Before that, Chen Luoyang had easily exposed his secret.
Without the Fragrance Powder and being targeted by other enemies, just thinking about that outcome made people shudder.
The Blood River Swordsman felt extremely depressed as he realized that he seemed to only have one choice-to cooperate with Chen Luoyang. He hoped that the other party would have a conscience and keep his word.
Although it was useless, it was already the best result.
The other choices might seem pleasant, but the results were just as useless…
While Chen Luoyang was engaged in an intense battle with the Blood River Swordsman, Tu Shanyi, who was on the other side, gradually broke through the obstruction of King Jing of South Chu and approached Chen Luoyang and the others.
However, at this moment, the glazed Buddhist light shot into the sky and then disappeared.
From the buddhic light that enveloped everyone in the western paradise, a unified chant rang out.
Immediately after, the grand and bright Buddhist light barrier suddenly spread in all directions, covering the surrounding world.
Chen Luoyang, Tu Shanyi, and the others, as well as the Heavenly River Swordsman, were all enveloped in the Buddhist light.
The Sky River Swordsman was unmoved. His expression was still calm as he quietly watched everything that was happening in front of him.
Although their relationship with the western paradise wasn’t close, they had some interactions with each other. They belonged to the righteous path of the mortal world and at the very least, their relationship was much better compared to the Blood River, Ancient God Clan, and Devil Buddha.
However, the Sky River Swordsman was still not in a hurry to make a move. He continued to watch from the sidelines, paying attention to the other people’s every move.
He was especially wary of Chen Luoyang’s attacks.
He wanted to confirm if the other party possessed the Nether Sword Art as Tao WangJi and his disciple had said.
At this moment, a huge lotus flower seemed to have appeared above everyone’s heads under the cover of the Buddhist light.
A golden lotus bloomed with a bright and transparent Buddhist light.
It was the exact opposite of the black lotus of the Devil Buddha lineage, but both of them could suppress one’s mind.
Usually, the western paradise rarely used such methods. Today, in order to subdue demons and devils, they finally let go of their worries.
The lotus petals opened and bloomed one after another, and a grand Buddhist chant came from within. It was not very noisy, but it seemed to be able to enter the heart.
Chen Luoyang possessed the Tathagata Demon Palm and was extremely sensitive to this. He immediately felt a sense of oppression.
Other than him, there was another person who was also in an extremely sorry state.
Yuan Chen and Bukong were both killed by Chen Luoyang.
The only one left among the three leaders of the Devil Buddha lineage was the Blood Kasaya, the Demonic Monk Kong Tu.
Seeing that Yuan Chen was defeated and things were hopeless, and with the people from the western paradise watching from the side, Kong Tu didn’t stay any longer. He tried to escape at the first possible moment.
Unfortunately, he was injured and could not fully increase his speed.
Right now, the buddhic light barrier on the western paradise’s side was activated, enveloping Demon Monk Kong Tu as well.
Although the demonic monk Kong Tu didn’t cultivate the Buddha’s Palm, his demonic skills were also the direct descendants of the Devil Buddha lineage.
At this moment, when faced with the buddhic light barrier of the western paradise, the feeling was even stronger than Chen Luoyang’s.
On the golden lotus platform, Buddhist light faintly condensed into a Buddha.
The buddha chanted in a zen voice that shook thousands of miles and lasted for a long time.
It sounded like thunder in everyone’s ears and in their hearts.
This was none other than the supreme art of the western paradise, Little Thunderclap.
For example, all the secret arts and innate techniques in the western paradise had the word ‘minor’ in their names. However, no one would look down on Little Thunderclap or any of the secret arts in the western paradise because of this.
There was a ‘small’ character in the name, which implied that it was the true wonderful realm of the western paradise, the number one existence under the thunderous sound of Buddhism.
As the number one sacred ground of the Buddhist Sect in the mortal world, the secret arts of the western paradise naturally had their own unique and powerful aspects.
At this moment, the sound of thunder shook everyone’s hearts and their breathing became unstable.
Chen Luoyang was having a great time fighting with the Blood River Swordsman. Now that he was being suppressed by the thunder, he didn’t retreat at all and shouted at the Golden Lotus Buddha above him.
As he shouted, another pitch-black Buddha appeared between heaven and earth.
The Devil Buddha Form that belonged to Chen Luoyang.
This pitch-black Buddha exerted strength with both palms and clapped them together in front of his chest before pushing it upwards.
The violent air currents instantly condensed into a bundle and cut through the thunder that was attacking Chen Luoyang like a sharp blade.
Upon seeing this move of his, all the experts of the western paradise pressed their palms together and chanted, “”l’ve sinned, I’ve sinned.” The monk, who looked like a furious Vajra, strode forward.
“This poor monk is Yan Kong. I would like to ask Almsgiver Chen for advice.”
The monk shouted angrily, ” Almsgiver Chen, you have destroyed many of the Buddhist Sect’s inheritances in the Divine Lands. You have committed countless sins. Today, I ask Almsgiver Chen to pay for what you have done! ‘
As he shouted, he raised his palms and a Buddha appeared above Chen Luoyang’s head.
And all of this was just the beginning.
One after another, the light shadows of the wise and enlightened Buddhas appeared in the world together. Then, they formed a formation and emitted a bright light.
There were a total of thirty-two images. When combined, they were filled with wisdom. It was as if they had both indestructible and invincible power concepts at the same time.
The Buddha said that the 32 Vajra Forms descended together and suppressed Chen Luoyang.
At the same time when Grandmaster Yankong acted, Grandmaster Yanhui and the other experts of the western paradise also revealed their techniques.
For a moment, the sky was filled with Zen chants. Flowers were falling from the sky, and treasure lotuses surged from the ground.
This plateau seemed to have been turned into a pure land of Buddhism..
