151: Real anger

Looking at Tang Ku, who was unconscious, Brick was startled, and then a more intense rage suddenly erupted. He turned his head and shot a pillar of fire at the bald figure in mid-air. This time, he was giving it his all, a move at least ten times stronger than the one he used against the Gu Mantong earlier.

Unexpectedly, the person in mid-air suddenly raised a purplish-gold, bowl-like object. He aimed the mouth of the bowl at the incoming pillar of fire and covered it directly.

Buzz!

A golden light flashed, and countless buddhist teachings suddenly appeared on the outside of the bowl, rotating continuously. Then, the pillar of fire was directly absorbed into it, disappearing without a trace.

"Heh heh, what Tang Sanzang, what Buddha of Sandalwood Merit, they're nothing more than this... Hmph, I just made a move and nipped this threat in the bud!"

Holding the purplish-gold bowl, the monk slowly floated down into the courtyard. He glanced at the trembling Brick and sneered, "Although I don't know what kind of monster you are, to actually know how to use the power of Hellfire and Samadhi True Fire, but to prevent you from posing a threat to our plan, you should go to Hell first!"

Saying that, the bowl suddenly flew upwards, growing with the wind, instantly becoming as large as a small mountain, and slammed down fiercely towards Brick.

Clang!

A sound like a bell ringing echoed. This strike hit him squarely on the crown of his head. Brick felt stars in his eyes, his head dizzy, and he almost fainted.

"Hmm? What is this monster's Physical Body made of? How can it be so sturdy? Even the Bull Demon King couldn't withstand a blow like that from me!"

The monk frowned slightly, retrieved the bowl, and was just about to give the monster another harsh blow, but unexpectedly, a clean, white fist appeared beside his cheek, and then slammed hard into his right face. The force of this punch was so great that it deformed his entire lower jawbone. If it weren't for the protection of pure Buddha Power, this punch would have taken his life.

Pfft!

Spitting out fresh blood, the person clearly felt his cheek swell up, and he himself flew out just like Tang Ku earlier, except his posture was even more undignified, as he spun out.

Boom!

The wall collapsed with a crash. Tang Ku stood where the monk had been standing and sneered, "With your paltry skill, you think you can hurt me?"

Bang!

Flying gravel, the monk suddenly leaped out from among them, flipped over, and landed a dozen meters away from Tang Ku, exclaiming in shock, "Impossible, even if you became a Buddha, your Physical Body couldn't be this strong. You... you're not Tang Sanzang, who exactly are you?"

Tang Ku rolled his eyes, "You don't recognize this face? I remember your expression clearly when you asked me for 'favors' back then! Mahākāśyapa, it's really been a long time!"

The monk opposite was startled, "I changed my appearance after Reincarnation, how did you recognize me?"

"Your intelligence... I can't even bear to insult you..." Tang Ku pouted, looking at the other party as if he were an idiot, "That Magic Treasure in your hand, isn't it my purple-gold alms bowl?"

The person opposite was choked and couldn't speak.

That's right, this person was indeed one of the duo who wouldn't transmit the true buddhist teachings without 'favors' back then, the legendary Disciple of the Buddha, Mahākāśyapa. According to Golden Cicada's previous life's seniority, he would have to call this Mahākāśyapa Senior Brother. After all, as fellow Disciples of the Buddha, this Senior Brother relationship was inescapable.

Mahākāśyapa's shock at this moment was unparalleled. Earlier, when he attacked Tang Ku, he used one of the beads from a string of prayer beads personally given by the Buddha. This string of prayer beads had 27 beads, representing the twenty-seven types of saints in the four directions and four fruits of Buddhism. Each of these 27 beads possessed different powers. Before the Buddha's golden body was destroyed by an outside powerhouse, he scattered these 27 beads among his Disciples. Mahākāśyapa obtained two of them, and the one he used represented a heavy, mountain-like force. If he had enough magical power, it could gather the weight of the Five Great Mountains into a single strike, making it extremely powerful.

Although he couldn't reach that level, how could an ordinary Buddha or Bodhisattva not be injured after being hit by this move?

Yet, Tang Ku showed no signs of injury whatsoever.

Just this one thing already made his heart pound!

Tang Ku sneered at Mahākāśyapa, "Senior Brother... hmm, I'll call you Senior Brother one last time... You've seen it, I am no longer what I once was, no longer that weak and incompetent monk. With your skill, you still can't hurt me... I'm giving you two paths now: one, turn around and leave now, and I'll pretend I didn't see you, we'll mind our own business; two, if you still want to play those dirty tricks, I don't mind sparring with you!"

Mahākāśyapa saw the surging Aura around him, his eyes shining, as if he was eager to fight. His heart skipped a beat, and he unconsciously took a step back.

"Cough, um, Xuanzang, the entire Buddhist sect is in peril now. Many powerhouses have undergone Reincarnation but have gone missing. You are also a Disciple of the Buddhist sect, you should do your part for it!"

Mahākāśyapa suddenly put on a earnest expression and said helplessly, "As your Senior Brother, I was merely testing your strength. The Buddha originally said that you had the ability to stand alone, and that the safety of the entire Buddhist sect rested on you alone. I didn't believe it then, but now I do... How about it, come back to the Buddhist sect, and we can achieve great things together?"

"Heh heh, what you said is right, but not entirely right!"

Tang Ku sneered, "Firstly, I am already a Disciple of the Buddhist sect, so what do you mean by 'returning to the Buddhist sect'? I, Tang Sanzang, am a born Disciple of the Buddhist sect, this is impossible to change... Secondly... you are no longer considered a Disciple of the Buddhist sect!"

Mahākāśyapa's face darkened as he said, "Junior Brother, don't joke, I..."

"Shut up!"

Tang Ku roared using the Lion's Roar Cultivation Technique, "Who is your Junior Brother? I am now establishing my own sect, I am Guangdu Xin Buddha, and you... you are no longer considered a Disciple of the Buddhist sect! My Buddhist Disciples are compassionate, yet you, for your own selfish desires, refined evil objects like Gu Mantong, causing countless deaths. You tell me, are you still a Disciple of the Buddhist sect? Aren't you ashamed?!"

Mahākāśyapa's expression stiffened, then he angrily retorted, "Everything I do is for the Buddhist sect, it's all to increase the strength of the Buddhist sect! And you... you actually use foul language, you are the one who is unworthy of being a Disciple of the Buddhist sect!"

"Verbal karma is a minor evil, taking human lives is great wickedness!"

Tang Ku slowly walked towards him and said coldly, "However, you have successfully ignited my anger. Now, even if you want to leave, you can't. I will completely reduce you to ashes, and I will send your soul into the Eighteen Levels of Hell, to atone for your sins for all eternity!"
