50: Get beaten up to get points

Shi Jingmo's power should currently be second only to Nezha's, so dealing with these ancient Greece God Race soldiers was basically effortless.

However, there were simply too many opponents; the work intensity of thousands of people was no joke.

Being besieged, if he continued to fight like this, he would inevitably be worn down and killed by the enemy, as even if he was strong, his Qi and the True Essence within his body were ultimately limited.

Fortunately, Brick was there to assist him, making things a bit easier and preventing these soldiers from concentrating their power to surround and kill him.

However, even so, Shi Jingmo was starting to feel overwhelmed.

Clang!

He dodged a spear from the front, but another spear grazed past his ear by a hair's breadth from behind, leaving a trace of blood on his handsome cheek.

This was only because Shi Jingmo had become a monk and adhered to the principle of not killing; otherwise, by now, there wouldn't be many of these warriors left.

Just as he was pondering how to subdue these guys without killing anyone, a red and yellow object in the distance flew backward like a meteor, knocking dozens of Greece divine soldiers away, and stopping right beside him.

"Master?"

Shi Jingmo exclaimed, "How could you?"

Tang Ku rubbed his aching eyes, and the dark circles instantly faded significantly. Suddenly hearing Jingmo's voice, he turned and said, "Oh, Jingmo, why haven't you solved it yet? Gone soft?"

"Amitabha, Poor Monk is trying to find a way to resolve this without killing, but so far..."

Whoosh!

The Master and Disciple acted together, sending two approaching soldiers flying with a powerful blow that also knocked back over a dozen others.

"Heh heh, still soft!"

Tang Ku chuckled, "You must understand that kindness cannot save demons. My Buddha is merciful... but also punishes evil... Ah..."

Boom!

A red light directly struck Tang Ku. Shi Jingmo immediately saw that it was a huge spiked club wrapped in a red, ox-shaped glow. This single blow sent Tang Ku flying again. The air was filled with scorching power, and a heatwave wrapped in powerful energy swept Shi Jingmo aside. Then, a small giant rushed over at an incredible speed, chasing after the flying Tang Ku.

"If I had taken that blow just now, my arm would probably have been broken!" Shi Jingmo thought to himself, then was immediately surrounded by divine soldiers again. He couldn't help but smile slightly, "Master said, kindness cannot save demons. You invaders are demons to this world, so..."

He clasped his hands together, activating Remnant Thought...

That's right, as the former guardian of the Virgo Palace, his techniques were much stronger than Shaka's. And after shedding the extravagance of a Saint Seiya, purely as a Buddhist Disciple, the power of this technique called "Remnant Thought" was many times stronger than before.

Buzz!

A strange energy fluctuation instantly descended, almost enveloping the entire battlefield.

Brick, who was spitting fireballs not far away, seemed to sense something. He looked up, shivered, and quickly retreated, fleeing the battlefield.

In just that instant, Shi Jingmo transformed into thousands of copies, with an identical handsome monk appearing before each God Race warrior.

Previously, Shi Jingmo could only use illusionary power and psychokinesis to leave his image in the Virgo Palace, but now, his strength was enough to allow him to release thousands of afterimages in an instant, and each of these afterimages could perform his ultimate technique.

Although the power couldn't reach that of his main body, it was enough to deal with these divine soldiers!

"Thousand-Faced Buddha... Subduing Demons! Namo Amitabha..."

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Like bees buzzing, the divine soldiers' ears buzzed, and a Buddhist chant made them dizzy and disoriented, instantly depriving them of the ability to resist. Immediately after, the power of Subduing Demons descended from the sky, covering all the Greece divine soldiers. Shi Jingmo... no, every Shi Jingmo gently extended his right hand and lightly patted the forehead of the Greece divine soldier in front of him...

These Greece divine soldiers felt the world spin, as if their brains had crashed. Immediately after, the Divine Power contained within their bodies was triggered by a mysterious force and suddenly exploded...

On the battlefield, only puffs of blood mist and a large area of scattered weapons and clothing remained, slowly falling downwards.

Beside him, Brick immediately covered his eyes with his claws, indicating that he hadn't seen anything.

"Amitabha..." The thousand figures instantly merged into one. Shi Jingmo said calmly, "I have spared your souls. I hope that after your Reincarnation, you can go to a good family and not spend your days fighting and killing; that is not good!"

"Mercy!"

Brick approached, sniffing all over him.

Shi Jingmo chuckled, patted his head, and smiled, "Don't be afraid, I'm just delivering a group of demons... Hmm, don't worry, I know what you're thinking. I won't fall into a demonic tribulation. Following Master is the greatest fortune of my life!"

"I only know two phrases!"

Brick nodded, floating beside him, watching Tang Ku get beaten.

Tang Ku's golden body had never faded, but he was constantly being suppressed and beaten by Hercules.

"Heh heh, is that all your strength? Hercules, the God of Strength? The Hercules rumored to have been nourished by Hera, blessed by the Goddess of Virtue, and completed the twelve impossible tasks? Heh heh, hahahaha... Poor Monk is still standing strong. Let's see if you can beat me to death!"

Tang Ku was constantly taking a beating. Hercules's furious strength made almost every move difficult for him to parry, but... Tang Sanzang was truly enjoying himself now!

With each heavy blow landing on his body, his Iron Fist Points were rapidly increasing.

However, Tang Ku never fought unprepared battles. When he realized that Hercules was much stronger than him, Tang Ku had already added the 3 Iron Fist Points he gained from beating Brick earlier, plus the 2 Iron Fist Points from taking that blow, to himself.

Adhering to the principle of taking advantage when possible, Tang Ku once again began his journey of being beaten, provoking Hercules with every word.

He would gain one Iron Fist Point after a beating, and he would add that 1 point to his defense. Then he would take another beating, and add another 1 point. Just now, Hercules's killing blow sent him flying, giving him a full 2 points, and these 2 points were instantly added to his defense!

In other words, he was only one point away from increasing his defense to a full 30 points!

However, although Hercules's strength was indeed powerful, as Tang Ku's defense increased little by little, the Iron Fist Points his attacks could provide became fewer and fewer. It seemed that with the same opponent, if Tang Ku increased his tolerance to him, the points gained later would also be less.

After a round of verbal jabs, Hercules instantly became enraged, and another animal's form, an elephant, appeared outside the spiked club in his hand!

Tang Ku chuckled, "Come, come, let me see if this blow of yours can push my points up!"
