C518 Bodies
Chu Yun and Zuo Qianhu headed towards the passageway at the end of the square. The scene in front of them gradually became desolate. The ground was empty, except for some strange-looking giant rocks that were connected together, there was nothing else. . .
No, what kind of giant rock was that? They were clearly giant shells!
However. . .
These were not human shells, but the bodies of giant centipedes that had been shed. They were scattered on the ground. Just the width of the body lying on the ground was even higher than the two of them stacked together.
"What kind of monsters are these?!"
Zuo Qianhu pulled out the Adviser's Adviser. Looking at the bodies, he was extremely shocked.
Chu Yun seemed to be deep in thought and said, "It seems that. . . These monsters shed their shells every time the heavenly dogs ate the moon. It's like a snake shedding its skin. Take a look. The smaller the shells of these giant centipedes, the more ancient they became. And the bigger it was, the fresher it was. This was the biggest shell. The flesh and blood on it hadn't completely rotted yet, and it was obvious that it had just been shed. The result was obvious. This Kṣitigarbha. . . It should be a huge centipede. "
He was very certain. As he walked forward, he saw. . . In a huge pit ahead. . . There were also many beetles and insects.
However, the shells of these beetles weren't ordinary shells either. Each of them was huge, perhaps even larger than a human. Obviously, under the command of Kṣitigarbha. . . The maids weren't ordinary people either. They also had the need to shed their shells. These were what they shed.
In front of the crater, there was a lotus platform. A figure sat on the lotus platform, and a few maids sat on the small lotus platforms around them.
Zuo Qianhu looked up and recognized the figure on the central lotus platform. It was the Protector, Kṣitigarbha. He immediately widened his eyes and pointed his saber.
"Demon monk, we have already seen through your real body. Hurry up and surrender!"
There was no reaction after his shout.
It was as if everyone in Ci Hang Hall had died. There was no sign of movement at all.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Zuo Qianhu did not care about that. He simply threw out a dart, which covered Kṣitigarbha and all the maids on the lotus platform in front of him.
The next moment, every dart hit its target, but there was still no movement. The bodies that were hit by the darts quickly fell down due to inertia. Zuo Qianhu took a closer look and found that those were just shells that had been shed. They were not real bodies.
Instantly, Zuo Qianhu's face was filled with anger. Ever since he had entered the Cihang Palace, he had seen nothing but shells. The scene of all the officials and officials in the court that he had seen in the square earlier had once again appeared in his eyes, causing Zuo Qianhu's heart to be filled with uneasiness and anger.
If everything he saw was true. . . At this moment, all the officials and officials in the Imperial Court had definitely been replaced by the little demons under Du Cihang. The authority of the entire court was now in the hands of Du Cihang. Perhaps even the emperor. . .
"Don't worry, the emperor is under orders from the heavens. There is the protection of the light of the Dao, and demons are immune to it. The Demonic Dao is at most a trick, but it can't really do anything to the emperor. Unless the Imperial Court is in turmoil and the ley line is damaged. . . "
Chu Yun said, but his comforting words stopped in his mouth, and he couldn't continue.
The Imperial Court was in turmoil. The ley line was damaged. . .
Wasn't this the situation right now? The land of Tiannan had basically been split from the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty. The people did not have a good life and there was an uprising.
Although the other places had not developed to such a vicious extent, the civilians could not live on anymore. Moreover, there were disasters everywhere, so the Imperial Court did not care at all. A good official like Lord Fu who worked hard and saved the lives of the people would be escorted to the capital and beheaded.
In an instant, Chu Yun understood.
It was no wonder that the information sent out by the Blazing Flame Army from the Heavenly South was not affected at all when it reached the capital.
All of the civil and military officials were under the control of demons. The emperor was a fool sealed within the imperial palace. He could not see or hear anything. He simply did not know that this country was rapidly approaching death, and the Emperor's Human Dao Protective Light was also constantly weakening.
By the time the country collapsed, the Emperor's light of humanity would be extinguished. It was not impossible for Kṣitigarbha to make a move against the emperor.
Perhaps. . .
He had already made a move. Perhaps, the Supreme One in the palace was already a shell. What kind of demons and devils were hidden below?
"Come out! Get the hell out here!"
Zuo Qianhu pointed at the lotus platform, and Kṣitigarbha's body roared loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yun could clearly feel the ground around him trembling slightly, as if something had crawled out from the depths of the earth.
At the same time, a strange demonic sound suddenly rang out from all directions. It came from a distance, and at times it was close. It was impossible to tell where it came from, but the strange sound was rising and falling. It made people feel as if their heads were about to explode. They wanted to use their heads to hit the rocks on the ground, and they were in so much pain that they could not stop.
"Let go of the butcher knife to become Buddha. . . Let go of the butcher knife to become Buddha. . . "
The Buddhist mantra was spoken in the voice, but no one could feel the true meaning of the Buddhist mantra. There was not the slightest peace and harmony, only brutality and anxiety.
Zuo Qianhu revealed a disgusted expression when he heard these demonic sounds, but he didn't show any reaction. Chu Yun looked at him in surprise and realized that although Zuo Qianhu didn't know any mantra, he had been slaughtering his way through the army all year round. The Qi of killing in his body was no longer something that could be affected by the evil mantra.
On the other side, in the gloomy night sky, numerous mists drifted. Among them, four human figures suddenly appeared. After which, they instantly disappeared into the darkness.
From their appearance and figure, it was obvious that they were the four maids beside Phutarus Airlines. The four of them who had been sitting on the small lotus platform earlier had suddenly appeared like ghosts. They were all holding strange machetes in their hands and their faces were filled with evilness.
On their faces, there was still some color of blood. Some parts of their faces were adhesive, and some of them were covered in flesh and blood. It was obvious that a new body had just been born, and they had not fully adapted to it yet.
"Invisibility technique?"
Chu Yun raised his eyebrows. He saw the four figures disappear, but he could hear the sound of figures approaching quickly and the sound of blades cutting through the air.
He smiled faintly and said to Zuo Qianhu beside him, "Your Dharma Eyes have been opened. Although you can't directly see their invisible figures, you can see their existence from the solidified evil Qi and the movement of the demonic energy. How is it? Have you found them?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Qianhu, who had been holding back his anger, immediately focused his gaze and saw that it was actually them. There were four clusters of demonic energies and cold Qi in front of them. They were rapidly approaching the two of them.
Swoosh!
Zuo Qianhu did not hesitate. He immediately took a step forward and slashed with the saber in his hand toward the air in front of him. In an instant, the saber Qi burst forth and slashed at something in the air. Fresh blood splashed out. Then, one of the four maids appeared and the corpse fell to the ground.
He saw that the demon had died in front of him. Zuo Qianhu's heart shook. He immediately threw out a few more darts at an extremely fast speed towards the other three figures. Two of them managed to dodge, but the other one was still unable to dodge and was killed on the spot by Zuo Qianhu.
These demons had the ability to turn invisible. When dealing with ordinary human martial artists, they indeed had a huge advantage. But in terms of true combat strength, compared to Zuo Qianhu, who was the number one expert, However, they weren't on the same level at all. It was completely a one-sided slaughter.
At this moment, the last two maids had already arrived in front of Zuo Qianhu. Without hesitation, Zuo Qianhu rushed forward and slashed with his katana. Without giving his opponent a chance to attack, he directly killed Zuo Qianhu.
The entire process could be said to be as smooth as flowing water. Without wasting any effort, Zuo Qianhu had already killed the four maids of Kṣitigarbha without any injuries. Or rather, he was like a guardian.
"How dare a Buddhist Holy Land use a saber to attack a spear, fight, and kill? What a disgrace!"
At this moment, a loud shout rang out from a distant crack in the ground.
Then, a figure wearing a golden robe jumped out from the crack. He looked like a very mean and sour old man. It was impossible to tell if he was a man or a woman. He was the Imperial Protector of Great Yan Dynasty, Kṣitigarbha.
At that moment, there were several places on Kṣitigarbha's face. There were some parts of his body that had not evolved completely. There were some parts of his body that were connected to his flesh and blood. It was disgusting for him to say such sanctimonious words at that moment.
"Finally, you're willing to come out?"
Chu Yun looked at the figure of the golden-robed mage. As the man spoke, a golden light appeared around his body, setting off a contrast behind him. However, when Chu Yun and Zuo Qianhu already knew the background of this demon, they did not feel any holiness. They only felt evil and rebellious.
"Kṣitigarbha, you demon monk, not only did you lie to me, you also lied to His Majesty, and all the people in the world! What do you think is going on with the bodies of the hundreds of officials in Cihang Hall? Where did you hide the bodies of all the officials in the Imperial Court?! " Zuo Qianhu asked as he pointed at Kṣitigarbha.
"Hahaha. . . "
Kṣitigarbha couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. Perhaps it was because he hadn't completely grasped this new shell, but his expression looked very stiff and strange, and he had an indescribable sense of terror. He said: "Didn't you already guess? And you came to ask me what was going on?
It seems like the people of the mortal world are always like you, unable to help but feel lucky. Since that's the case, then this pharaoh shall be merciful and tell you. . .
Eat it! I have eaten the bodies of the officials! All of the people you saw in the capital have been replaced by my underlings! Hahaha. . . "2
Zuo Qianhu's body couldn't help but shake as soon as he finished speaking, and he almost lost his balance. After having such a terrifying guess, he finally got it verified.
After a moment of realization, there was another huge anger. Zuo Qianhu's hand that was holding the saber was almost stuck into the hilt. He couldn't help but roar and charge forward.
"You overestimate yourself. "
Kṣitigarbha sneered. The golden light around his body suddenly shone brightly, emitting a terrifying power that was invincible to all evil arts.
Zuo Qianhu charged forward while throwing out a few darts. However, as soon as the darts were thrown out, they were melted by the golden light before they could even get close to Kṣitigarbha's body.
Zuo Qianhu saw this and immediately stopped in front of the golden light. Then, he suddenly unleashed all the inner energy in his body and slashed forward.
Swoosh!
The blade energy surged forward and slashed towards the main body of Kṣitigarbha within the golden light.
The power of this slash far surpassed the destructive power of those darts. Moreover, the power and speed of the saber energy were even purer. It did not suffer much hindrance as it directly hacked into the golden light and struck the body of Kṣitigarbha, breaking his left shoulder.
When Kṣitigarbha saw this, his expression immediately changed. With his thousand year centipede cultivation base, he was actually injured by a puny human martial artist. This was intolerable!
Boom!
Kṣitigarbha suddenly struck out with his palm. In that instant, the golden light protecting Kṣitigarbha. . . Suddenly, the golden light rumbled forward and headed straight for Zuo Qianhu.
At this moment, a clear voice rang out: Kṣitigarbha!" Heaven and Earth are infinite, Heaven and Earth borrow magic!"
Boom!
As his voice fell, it was also a rumbling sound.
Chu Yun struck out with his palm, and the palm energy collided with the palm energy of Kṣitigarbha. Both of them exploded.
Immediately after, Chu Yun took another step forward. The palm energy in his hand struck out continuously and forcefully. His palm landed on the golden light and on Kṣitigarbha's body.
"Where did this stinky Daoist come from? How dare he interfere in my business!"
Kṣitigarbha screamed and roared.
Before this, he had been focusing on Zuo Qianhu. He had never thought that the young man who looked like an Imperial Secret Service soldier would actually hide so deeply and have such an ability.
Rumble, rumble -
Amidst a series of explosions, Kṣitigarbha let out a series of low roars. Amidst the miserable cries, the golden light was getting smaller and smaller by the time Chu Yun hit it. Finally, it disappeared completely.
With a loud explosive sound, Kṣitigarbha's body was shattered by Chu Yun's palm, turning into rotten flesh and blood that scattered in all directions.
"He's dead?"
Zuo Qianhu saw the body of the demonic monk explode, and looked at Chu Yun with a surprised expression. Judging from the pressure that this demonic monk gave him, it didn't seem like he could be killed so easily.
Chu Yun's facial expression didn't change. He said, "It was just a shell of his that was killed. His true body hasn't appeared yet. It's still too early to kill him. . . "
As soon as he finished speaking, Kṣitigarbha's body exploded. In the land of death, a seven-colored Buddha light suddenly rose. Then, a golden figure emerged from the seven-colored Buddha light. It was a tall and majestic figure.
It was. . .
Buddha Tathagata of the Western Paradise!
