Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Eric shook his head and smiled.

"Great Vehicle, what did you say to that kid?" The noise at the scene prevented Li Hong from hearing the conversation between the Great Vehicle Dharma King and Eric. "Look at you, acting like a servant, it\'s embarrassing!"

Eric waved his hand, indicating the Great Vehicle Dharma King to be silent, and replied, "Li Hong, your Shura Sect is finished..."

"Who said the Shura Sect is finished?" Li Hong angrily retorted, "As long as the elites of our sect are intact, the Shura Sect will have a day of resurgence..."

"Resurgence?" Eric smiled faintly, "Where do you plan to make a comeback? It\'s impossible in China or A country. You and your subordinates are important fugitives of these two countries! You can\'t go to countries with close ties to these two either, as they are likely to extradite you directly! So, you should have two choices left! First, Africa. Second, Antarctica. I wonder if lions, penguins, and African elephants understand the teachings of your Shura Sect..."

"You... you..." Li Hong was so angry that he couldn\'t speak, but it was also possible that he was upset because Eric had touched a sore spot.

Ignoring him, Eric continued, "I thought I would let you go, but your attitude was so good, that you delivered yourself to me. If I don\'t keep you, wouldn\'t it be too ungrateful of me?"

"Hongmen\'s kid, I solemnly tell you, you are doomed!" Li Hong said angrily.

"I solemnly tell you, I am not from Hongmen."

"Not from Hongmen? Then who are you?" Li Hong looked at him, puzzled.

Looking at him, Eric said meaningfully, "I am the person you should worship..."

Li Hong didn\'t understand this sentence, thinking that the handsome young man in front of him was insulting him, so he immediately said angrily, "Kid, if you leave now, everything will be over between us. We will be strangers..."

"Oh? Are you so broad-minded that you don\'t care about the grudge of destroying the sect?" Eric was surprised that this person, who seemed quite paranoid, would say something so conciliatory.

"Revenge? Haha..." Li Hong\'s laughter was full of deep-seated hatred, and he didn\'t hide it, "Of course, I want revenge! But... according to the current situation, our sect is struggling to survive, so why should we go to the Hongmen, which claims to be the \'number one gang in the Chinese community\'..."

"I have already sincerely told you, I am not from Hongmen!" Eric once again solemnly denied the identity forcibly imposed on him by Li Hong.

Originally thought that this kid was playing him, Li Hong was a little stunned and involuntarily looked at the Great Vehicle Dharma King, who nodded solemnly.

Seeing Eric\'s usual indifferent smile, Li Hong was stunned for a moment, unable to speak. After a while, he sighed, "Forget it, it\'s rare to ask about your identity. Since you are going to die..."

"Do you think you can put us in a desperate situation?" Eric was puzzled as to how this wanted criminal got such confidence.

"Don\'t think that having a few top-notch post-heaven peak experts under your command means you are safe..." Li Hong disdainfully looked at the four black-clothed people surrounding Eric. With his eyesight, he naturally could tell their strength.

These four people needless to say were the four great secret guards protecting the Living Buddha. As for Lusien, because this was a Buddhist temple after all, he felt uncomfortable all over his body as a vampire, so Eric took him back to the Agate Space early on.

Seeing Eric\'s indifferent smile, Li Hong thought he didn\'t believe him, so he said, "Don\'t doubt it, I tell you, I know how many experts are in this temple, far more than you do. But how many experts do I have under my command, who among you knows?"

The Great Vehicle Dharma King had noticed the twenty or so unfamiliar faces in the square long ago, and asked, "Are you referring to those twenty or so people?"

"Yes." Li Hong smiled triumphantly and said, "Each of them has top-notch skills, and thirteen of them are no less than the top-notch experts among your lamas!"

"Didn\'t expect you recruited so many experts in A country..." The Great Vehicle Dharma King seemed quite emotional.

"So many? This is called many..." Perhaps due to the recent series of events, Li Hong\'s emotions fluctuated greatly. He had a smug look on his face, but after hearing the Great Vehicle Dharma King\'s words, he began to shout hysterically, "Do you know, I used to have nearly a hundred top-notch experts! However, during the process of leaving through the tunnel, more than half of them were buried alive because they didn\'t make it in time! They were my blood, sweat, and tears for over ten years..."

For a moment, the Great Vehicle Dharma King was stunned by Li Hong\'s momentum and couldn\'t say a word.

Seeing that both sides were watching, Eric, who didn\'t want Li Hong to become too arrogant, spoke lightly, "If your blood, sweat, and tears are for dealing with us, I don\'t mind wiping them all out!"

Li Hong was slightly stunned, then burst into laughter, "If you have the ability, I\'d like to see it!" With that, he waved his hand fiercely, ordering an all-out attack.

He also lunged forward, intending to knock down Eric, the stubborn junior, first.

The four secret guards raised their arms, and eight cold rays shot out, aiming at Li Hong in mid-air.

The Great Vehicle Dharma King also wanted to help, but Eric stopped him, "You go deal with the Golden Wheel King, the pre-heaven expert, and leave this traitor to me!"

"But, Rinpoche, your safety..."

Understanding the Great Vehicle Dharma King\'s concerns, Eric smiled slightly and raised his hand. A "Fire Blade Technique", composed of both wind and fire magic elements, easily cut open the bodies of two Shura Sect disciples.

"What a brilliant Fire Blade!" The Great Vehicle Dharma King made the same mistake as Ren Qingang, mistaking magic for martial arts. "In that case, Rinpoche, I\'ll go down to intercept the Golden Wheel..."

"Mm."

Li Hong, who was fully focused on dealing with the eight lotus-shaped hidden weapons, did not hear the conversation between Eric and the others. After knocking down all the lotus-shaped hidden weapons, he suddenly realized that the Great Vehicle Dharma King was missing. "Huh, kid, the Great Vehicle guy abandoned you. It seems that your relationship isn\'t that deep?"

Eric, who rarely paid attention to this self-righteous guy, and the four secret guards were annoyed by Li Hong\'s disrespect for the Living Buddha, continuously shooting out Lotus petals as if they were free.

"Haha, is this all you can do..." While teasing the four secret guards, Li Hong quickly approached.

A mature pre-heaven expert dealing with four post-heaven peak experts, while not necessarily able to defeat them in one move, wouldn\'t require much effort.

In just five seconds, Li Hong dodged the hidden weapons and closed in on Eric, standing less than two meters away.

Seeing the two black-clothed men in front of him, Li Hong\'s mouth curved into a cruel smile, and he said in a sinister voice, "You two step aside, I\'ll send this kid down to meet you in a moment..." With that, he gathered...

Bang.

As if hitting gold and stone.

"What kind of martial art is this?" Li Hong asked incredulously, looking at the two black-clothed men who showed no signs of injury.

It should be noted that the "Shura Yin Sha Gong" is a very malicious skill, its yin sha power specifically targets the internal organs, making any external martial arts ineffective against it.

However, Li Hong did not wait for an answer. What greeted him were four more lotus petals.

When he dodged the hidden weapons, a flash of inspiration struck Li Hong\'s mind. He suddenly remembered a book about the Living Buddha that he had read in Sakya when he was young, and immediately paled, "Are you practicing \'Clear Mind, Buddha Body\'?"

"Clear Mind, Buddha Body" is also a forbidden technique like the "Shura Yin Sha Gong", belonging to the same category. The difference is that the latter is forbidden due to its extreme malice, while the former is a unique skill of the guards protecting the Living Buddha and is not taught to other lamas.

"Clear Mind, Buddha Body" is quite peculiar. Instead of gathering qi in the dantian like other internal martial arts, it continuously circulates qi throughout the body, tempering the flesh.

From another perspective, this skill is also a bit of a flaw. While greatly increasing defensive power, it also deprives the practitioner of the right to learn other internal martial arts.

The purpose of the guards practicing it is to step forward at critical moments and become a physical shield for the Living Buddha.

However, it does not mean that the guards can only endure attacks without fighting back.

After hundreds of years of trial and error, gathering the wisdom of dozens of generations of guards, they finally mastered the most suitable attack method for them.

In close combat, they use the Three Great Techniques of Vajra Fist, Vajra Leg, and Vajra Finger.

During long-range attacks, they primarily rely on a type of hidden weapon modeled after lotus petals.

At that time, Li Hong had once dreamed of becoming a glorious guard for the Living Buddha, so he paid great attention to this description. This was why, more than thirty years later, he could still recall the "Clear Mind, Buddha Body" skill, known as the world\'s best defense technique!

Thinking about the role of the guards, Li Hong asked Eric with a slight tremor, "Who... who are you?"

Eric couldn\'t imagine that a prestigious leader like Li Hong would be so long-winded, asking the same question repeatedly. He didn\'t want to deal with someone like that and ignored Li Hong\'s urgent expression.

At his signal, two guards stepped forward, punching and kicking, unleashing a storm of attacks on Li Hong.

Although Li Hong\'s skill far surpassed that of the guards, his palm strikes couldn\'t inflict much damage on the guards with their "Buddha Body." Moreover, he was currently filled with great doubt and fear, unable to launch effective attacks. For a moment, the three of them were in a stalemate.

Originally, Eric wanted to call the other two guards to join in attacking Li Hong, but unexpectedly, they refused to obey. They explained that their first purpose was to protect the Living Buddha, and obeying the Living Buddha\'s orders came second.

Eric compromised and instead had them launch lotus petal weapons to assist their comrades in surrounding the enemy.

As for Eric himself, he monitored the battlefield and occasionally used "Fire Blade Technique" to attack the top experts of the Shura Sect.

However, even though the guards and the Great Vehicle Dharma King held back Li Hong and the Golden Wheel Lama, both pre-heaven level experts, the situation on the field was still not very optimistic, as there were simply too many top experts from the Shura Sect.

In just a short time, there were already two to three dozen fallen Sakya monks. Fortunately, the Jiecai Temple was the main headquarters of the Sakya sect, with as many as sixty to seventy top experts. They supported each other and formed alliances, which prevented the situation from deteriorating further.

Noticing that many monks were only injured and not dead, Eric used wind magic to transmit his voice to Ren Qingang\'s ear, "Ren Qingang, have someone gather all the wounded around me."

Ren Qingang immediately recognized the voice as that of their beloved and respected Living Buddha. He dared not delay and quickly commanded the ordinary monks who couldn\'t help in the fight to do as instructed.
