364: Arhat Conquers Demon

A monk sat on the branch of the giant pan tao tree, gnawing on a chicken leg!

The monk had a kind and benevolent face, though his cheeks were flushed, and he seemed to have a slightly bulbous nose.

At this moment, his left hand was clutching the Yellow skin.

Seeing it screaming, he could not help but frown slightly and shoved the chicken leg in his hand fiercely into the Yellow skin's mouth.

*Hiccup*...

Although it usually liked eating chicken, it had never eaten it this way before, and it was immediately choked to the point of rolling its eyes, almost dying on the spot.

"Damn you, stinky monk, where did you come from? Hurry up and release my third brother!"

The Scorpion Demon was furious, and a strangely shaped weapon suddenly appeared in her hand.

It was a sharp "whip" with a strange, crescent-shaped blade at the tip.

The Scorpion Demon flew up and swung it toward the monk.

"Oh, is this your Lifebound Treasure? Hmm, it was refined from a scorpion hook, wasn't it? Hehe, rare, rare..."

The monk flipped off the tree, causing the Scorpion Demon to miss.

She flipped, kicked the tree, and used the recoil to turn around and attack the monk's back, while in front of the monk, the Dragon-Fish Demon wielding dual swords had already slashed at the monk's head.

Clang... clang-clang...

The two demons stood there in a daze, staring at the monk's shiny bald head.

Even though their weapons had struck the monk, they emitted a sound like striking metal, and the sound was extremely strange, just like...

"Just like chopping gold, but gold isn't this tough!"

The two demons' scalps went numb instantly, knowing they had met a tough opponent.

The eldest, the Scorpion Demon, could not help but swallow, and tremblingly asked, "You... you monk, who exactly... who exactly are you?"

"Hmm, who am I?"

The monk thought for a moment, then rubbed his bald head and laughed, "I am just an ordinary monk, but when I was in the Western Buddhist Realm, my Dharma name was Dragon Subduing Arhat!"

"Alright, this time we've really hit a tough obstacle..."

The Dragon-Fish and the Scorpion Demon stood motionless, so nervous they could almost hear their own heartbeats.

"Woo-woo, gulp..."

The Yellow skin finally came to its senses, actually biting through the chicken bone in one go, swallowing the remaining chicken meat, and shouting, "Big brother, second brother, run, run! Don't worry about me... run! Mmm, this tastes pretty good... run!"

The Dragon-Fish and the Scorpion Demon looked at each other, then without a word, brandished their weapons and attacked the monk again.

The monk laughed, grabbed the Yellow skin in his hand, and swirled it around like a whip to parry the two.

The Scorpion Demon and the Dragon-Fish were helpless; afraid of hurting the Yellow skin, they fought with their hands tied.

The Scorpion Demon was almost driven mad with hatred, thinking, "How can this monk be so shameless? Such a great expert actually uses such dirty tricks!"

"Ah... ah... Big brother, you should just run... I... ah... my brains are about to be flung... out... ah... ah..."

Miserable screams rose and fell.

The two demons held their breath and retreated, and the monk then grabbed the Yellow skin again, looking at the two demons opposite him and laughing.

"You... what are you laughing at? What kind of skill is it to take a hostage? If you have the guts, put down my third brother, and let's see who is better!" the Scorpion Demon said nervously.

"Hehe, okay, I will put him down right now!"

The monk laughed, "However, let's make a bet. If I can take care of you in one move, you must kneel down and accept me as your master!"

The Scorpion Demon was stunned, then her eyes darted around, and she nodded, "Okay, it's a deal!"

She thought to herself, "Even if you are an Arhat, it's impossible to deal with us so simply... Hmph... just wait..."

The monk was very straightforward and casually threw the Yellow skin on the ground.

Poor little Yellow skin was foaming at the mouth, rolling its eyes.

The two brothers finally relaxed.

The Dragon-Fish put away his weapon and slammed his hands toward the monk.

Ripples instantly formed in the air, as if he were underwater.

Once the ripples appeared, the Dragon Subduing Arhat instantly felt the surroundings become damp.

Immediately after, water-element magic completely engulfed him, and a strong sense of restraint felt like being trapped at the bottom of the water.

Then, the Scorpion Demon opposite him suddenly swung the strange weapon in her hand.

The weapon grew longer as it flew, and its tip suddenly released a purple-black smoke screen that shrouded the monk.

The Scorpion Demon suddenly shouted, "Third brother, we will hold him off, you... you hurry up and leave, hurry!"

The Yellow skin had just woken up.

Hearing its eldest brother's shout, it jumped up involuntarily and ran toward the door.

It knew that as long as it got out of this door, it might be much safer.

"Hehe, you guys are quite loyal..."

Hum!

A golden ripple erupted from the monk's body, instantly shattering the purple mist and the water ripples.

Immediately after, he struck out with one palm, and a huge golden palm descended, slamming the two demons fiercely onto the ground.

The Yellow skin standing at the door heard a scream, stopped suddenly, and slowly turned back to look, only to see its two brothers already pressed under a huge golden palm.

Its heart trembled; as expected, this monk was an existence beyond their imagination.

Without a moment's hesitation, it suddenly transformed into human form, holding a slender long sword, like a Western knight, and rushed toward the monk.

"Idiot, run, run!"

The two demons shouted desperately at the Yellow skin.

"Hehe, going out means death anyway, so I might as well die with my two brothers; that would be a worthy death!"

The Yellow skin roared, and the thin sword in its hand stabbed toward the monk's back.

The monk didn't even turn his head; he simply turned around and slapped the Yellow skin back into its original form.

"I... pfft!"

A mouthful of blood sprayed out, and the Yellow skin lay on the ground, unable to move, only smiling bitterly.

"To think that nearly a thousand years of hard cultivation has turned into a dream-like bubble because of a moment of greed... Sigh... brothers, it is I who have implicated you!"

The Scorpion Demon smiled bitterly and said self-reproachfully.

"The vanity of the world is like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, a shadow, dew, or lightning... fleeting and transient; why be attached!"

A gentle voice came from the monk, and he suddenly revealed the Arhat Golden Body.

A Dharma image appeared behind him, with an Azure Dragon circling it—what a majestic Arhat!

"Great... Great Master... are you really... a Western Heaven Arhat? Your, your words..."

The three demons were all spiritual beings and instantly understood the intention behind the monk's actions.

The pressure on them instantly dissipated, and they suddenly jumped up and bowed to the monk.

"With our demonic eyes and mortal bodies, we failed to recognize a True God. We beg the Great Master to accept us as Disciples. We are willing to devoutly worship Buddha and never do evil again!"

The monk laughed, "Well done, well done. From this day forth, you shall be the Protectors of my Buddhist faith. In this world, there is only one Buddha to revere, and that is the Guangdu Xin Buddha!"
