544: Wuzhen VS Wang Lingguan

"I knew it, this journey wouldn't be that simple!"

In the dead of night, Tang Ku opened his eyes and looked at the Heavenly God before him, rubbing his forehead with some helplessness. "We were just talking about you during the day. Can you imagine that?"

The person opposite him had a red face and a beard, wearing golden armor and a red robe. Divine Power surged from his three eyes, yet his expression was extremely easygoing. The general glanced at Tang Ku, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, and said with some helplessness: "Sanzang is indeed the scripture seeker appointed by the Buddha. Just this demeanor alone is something others cannot possess!"

Wu Zhen opened her eyes, her eyes filled with curiosity, and asked Tang Ku: "Master, who is this?"

"Hehe, I talked to you about him before. When Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in Heaven, it was this Heavenly Lord who stopped him outside the Lingxiao Palace!"

Tang Ku introduced him with a smile.

"Oh, so he is Wang Lingguan. Is his power very strong?"

Wu Zhen tilted her head and said somewhat naively, "I... don't really feel it!"

"There is no doubt about his combat power. However, the reason you don't feel he is powerful is because your Buddha Dharma is constantly progressing. The Many Hearts Sutra says, 'Because there is no hindrance, there is no fear.' That is the principle!"

Tang Ku took the opportunity to guide her.

Wu Zhen suddenly realized. She then pressed her knees and stood up, saying: "Has Wang Lingguan come here to stop us, Master and Disciple, from traveling west?"

"I am merely following orders from above!"

A golden whip suddenly appeared in Wang Lingguan's hand. He said with a hint of helplessness in his voice, "If the Holy Monk is willing to go back, I will not make a Move!"

"Hehe, my Disciple and I are just walking. Who are we bothering?"

Tang Ku smiled and said, "Could it be that some Heavenly Sovereign is unhappy with a monk?"

"I don't know about that, but the person who ordered me to come told me that I absolutely cannot let you continue traveling west!"

Wang Lingguan said, "If the Holy Monk persists in his obsession, I have no choice but to have a fight with you!"

A long sword suddenly appeared in Wu Zhen's hand. She stepped forward and walked in front of Wang Lingguan, saying: "My Master is tired. I will fight this battle!"

Wang Lingguan frowned slightly: "You are not my match!"

"I know that, but I want to know more about the gap between an expert like you and me!"

Wu Zhen's expression was indifferent, "Please enlighten me!"

Wang Lingguan's real name was Wang Shan. He himself had the duty of rewarding good and punishing evil, but regarding such a Buddhist Disciple before him, and a woman at that... he really couldn't summon any interest in fighting.

"Does the Lingguan look down on women? Or do you look down on me?"

Wu Zhen suddenly said with a playful smile.

"Fine, since you are determined to fight on behalf of your Master, I will grant your wish!" The golden whip in Wang Shan's hand also hummed, as if excited for the battle that was about to take place.

"Wu Zhen, keep your heart firm and do not clash with him head-on. Your Master is here to back you up!"

Tang Ku said with a beaming smile.

Wu Zhen took a deep breath and said through her nose: "Mm!"

As she spoke, the long sword in her hand had already turned into snowflakes filling the sky, enveloping Wang Lingguan.

Wang Shan was taken aback and thought to himself: "I underestimated her. I have only seen such fierce sword techniques from the hands of the Chunyang Immortal Master..."

It turned out that during her time in the Great Tang, Wu Zhen had indeed visited many famous Masters of sword techniques. She had even sought advice on sword techniques from military generals, Jianghu wanderers, and imperial palace experts. Most recently, she had sought guidance from the Shu Mountain Sect Head, Xuanji Zi. Although the profound sword techniques of Shu Mountain were not taught to her, she had integrated all the Moves she had learned, as well as the essence of the Western sword techniques she had previously mastered, into her own sword techniques. It could truly be called a mastery of fusion.

However, although Wang Lingguan was taken aback, he was no pushover. In terms of individual combat, he was someone who had once crushed Sun Wukong. Therefore, in terms of martial arts Moves, there was no need to think too much; he was still the one with superior skills.

The two exchanged blows in an instant. The clanging sounds in the air were incessant. In just an instant, the two had fought over a hundred rounds on the riverbank.

"Little Master, I originally did not wish to make things difficult for you. As long as you admit defeat, I will stop. How about it?"

Wang Lingguan was still holding back. After all, the gap in their raw strength was too large, and he did not want to kill the person before him.

"Hehe, Lingguan, there is no need to show mercy to a woman. Although I am a woman, I am a genuine Buddhist Disciple..."

Wu Zhen smiled and said, "If you don't use your full strength, you should be careful about capsizing in the gutter!"

As she spoke, a beam of divine light suddenly shot out from Wu Zhen's eyes. Caught off guard, Wang Lingguan was struck directly by this divine light. The divine light instantly passed through his visual nerves and reached his cerebral cortex. Immediately after, he felt his vision go black, his entire body instantly became extremely stiff, and even waving his arm became very difficult.

Although it was only for a split second, it was enough for Wu Zhen. The long sword in her hand suddenly retracted. The entire sword seemed to have turned into a spring, and every bit of Buddha Dharma power, along with the Divine Power she herself possessed, was poured into this sword.

And the moment the sword was compressed to the limit, it really sprang out like a spring.

"Extreme Spirit Pierce!"

With a shout, the long sword instantly stabbed towards Wang Lingguan's throat.

However, this sword attack was destined to be in vain!

The divine light in Wu Zhen's eyes was a Divine Ability she had only recently comprehended, named the Petrifying Eye!

That's right, it was the Petrifying Eye of the Gorgon Medusa from back then. This is a unique innate Divine Ability belonging to the female God Race of Olympus, capable of turning ordinary people directly into statues, capable of briefly paralyzing the nerves of opponents during battles with deities, and even having a more than tenfold amplification when encountering male deities.

As the weakest among Tang Ku's Disciples, she reflected painfully and finally activated this talent in her own eyes.

Wang Lingguan is a deity, and also a male deity, so the Petrifying Eye had a very strong effect on him, actually hard-controlling him for three seconds.

And Extreme Spirit Pierce was the strongest among her offensive Moves. This combination of Divine Ability and Move was enough to seriously injure the man before her.

However, she had overlooked Wang Lingguan's own strength... In terms of power alone, he was far stronger than those so-called deities on Mount Olympus. Even Zeus could be easily handled by Wang Lingguan.

Therefore, her sword attack was destined to miss.

A bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky, hitting Wang Lingguan directly on the head. Subsequently, his eyes suddenly returned to normal. A weapon that looked like the Wind Fire Wheels suddenly appeared in his left hand, directly catching the sword in the gap of the wheel.

Wu Zhen was shocked and hurriedly tried to withdraw her sword and retreat, but unexpectedly, the golden whip in the opponent's hand had already struck down towards the top of her head like lightning.
