257: crazy mockery

In his entire life, this was the first time he had been defeated so miserably; he had been beaten so badly without even managing to block half a Move from his opponent.

Unwillingness, humiliation, annoyance, remorse.

Various emotions constantly flooded his mind; he wanted to fight again, but he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

As for Shen Lian, he assumed a condescending posture, looking down at Jing Yin from above.

"The Dragon-Capturing Art is not exactly a profound or mysterious combat technique, yet you couldn't even take this single Move of mine. How dare you boast about having a broad perspective?"

"Pfft—" Upon hearing this, Jing Yin spat out a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, his face was flushed red, the veins on his forehead bulging.

His bloodshot eyes stared fixedly at Shen Chuan; he wanted to say something, but didn't know how to open his mouth.

"Look at you. You don't have an ounce of the Aura a Cultivator should possess. I truly don't know what face this vegetarian ant has to stand out and provoke me."

"Go back. I won't kill you. Go back and practice for another ten thousand years; perhaps then you'll have a chance to touch the hem of my garment. Before that, stop boasting about your pathetic strength. Hahahaha."

After speaking, Shen Lian turned and walked down the Dao platform, laughing loudly as he passed through the Heavenly Buddha Rock path, continuing toward the Golden Light Pagoda.

"Senior Brother, are you alright?"

Once Shen Lian left, Wen Guo immediately stepped onto the Dao platform, helped Jing Yin up from the ground, sat behind him, struck his back with a palm, and channeled his internal Buddha Power into him.

"Pfft—" The stagnant Qi flowed again for a moment, and the congealed blood trapped in Jing Yin's body was instantly coughed out.

In an instant, the reversed flow was corrected, and Jing Yin's previous pain was immediately relieved significantly.

But after Jing Yin recovered, he immediately punched the ground: "I am just a useless person! Sigh..."

Uncontrollable tears fell from Jing Yin's round face onto the ground.

Wen Guo: "Senior Brother, why do you say that?"

Jing Yin: "Junior Brother, do not try to persuade me. You saw it just now. In my life, I, Jing Yin, have challenged many experts within the Buddhist Domain. I considered my cultivation to be heaven-defying, and that in the future, I could compete with Saint Monk Dingtian."

"Yet today, I couldn't even take a single Move from him, nor did I anticipate any of his changes in Moves. I, I am truly useless! Aaaaah—"

Seemingly unable to accept such a failure, Jing Yin's emotions spiraled out of control; he clutched his head and ran away quickly.

"Senior Brother, where are you going? Where are you going?"

"Don't mind me, I am just a useless person, a useless person!"

"Senior Brother, come back!"

Wen Guo immediately chased after the collapsing Jing Yin, not wanting anything else to happen to him.

He knew Jing Yin's temper very well; he was not someone who could not accept failure, after all, he had once lost to many martial monks of the Buddhist Domain.

But such a failure, where he was completely crushed unilaterally with no room to fight back, was something he absolutely could not accept.

Now, Wen Guo only wanted to ensure he didn't get hurt and immediately chased after him.

At the same time, at the entrance of the Buddhist Domain, a figure in white robes descended from the sky.

"Benefactor, please stop. This is the Holy Land of Buddhism and cannot be desecrated."

The Protector martial monks guarding the entrance immediately became alert.

The white-robed figure let out a cold laugh: "What a 'Buddhist pure land that cannot be desecrated.' Apart from deceiving naive, worldly people, how could such hypocritical lies possibly fool me?"

"Benefactor, watch your words!"

Liao Chen, the leader, performed a bow to the white-robed figure and continued: "Benefactor, I do not know why you have such prejudice against the Buddhist Domain, but I still wish to advise you: the Holy Land of Buddhism will not tolerate your slander."

"Is that so?"

The white-robed figure snorted, his tone filled with disdain.

"Then I would like to ask: back then, when Heaven Stabilizer agreed with my Revered Master to meet through martial arts and discuss the Dao, why did he choose to go back on his word after winning, sealing all six senses of my Revered Master and trapping him in the Heavenly Flame Forbidden Land?"

Upon hearing this, Liao Chen decisively manifested a golden whip.

"Are you a remnant of the Ghost Buddha Sect?"

"Haha, not pretending anymore, are you? Today, I will reclaim everything lost for my Revered Master, and let my Revered Master's Buddha Power resound throughout the entire Buddhist Domain."

"Who exactly are you?"

"This humble monk, Wang Chen, has come to send a Buddhist friend to reach ultimate bliss."

After speaking, he struck a palm directly toward Liao Chen.

"Ghost Buddha remnant, you must be executed!"

The golden whip swept, and two vast surges of Buddha Power collided, immediately shaking the surroundings.

After one Move, Wang Chen retreated three steps, and Liao Chen retreated five steps.

The moment Liao Chen steadied his figure, he pressed his palms together, the golden whip held level at his elbows.

"amitabha buddha. The Buddha-Ghost is in the world, slaughtering the living beings of the Buddhist Domain. To prevent the spread of Karmic Obstruction, Saint Monk Dingtian had no choice but to use a scheme to Seal it, which has kept the Buddhist Domain safe for ten thousand years."

"Now that you, a remnant of the Buddha-Ghost, wish to make a comeback, even if I, this Poor Monk, die today, I will not let you have your way."

As his voice fell, Liao Chen activated the Aura Pressure of the Early Stage of the Limit-Breaking Realm.

Suddenly, a Vajra appeared behind him with glaring eyes, its solemn image radiating dignified Buddha Power.

Seeing this, Wang Chen immediately took out a string of skull buddhist prayer beads, each the size of a thumb.

"The Great Vow of the Buddha-Ghost is the most revered. You of the Zen Sect have controlled the Buddhist Domain until now, yet you remain conservative and self-satisfied. What face do you have to boast about saving all living beings? Today, let this 'Buddha-Slaying' string open the path for the Buddha-Ghost to save the world."

As his voice fell, the 'Buddha-Slaying' beads in his hand began to emit dark Buddha Power.

The next moment, a rotting Buddha Statue appeared behind Wang Chen, indescribably demonic and eerie, and it slowly began to cover the Dharma image behind Liao Chen.

"amitabha buddha."

Liao Chen frowned, then leaped into the Void Realm.

"Three Thousand Pure Lands Cover the Yellow Sand."

Liao Chen swept the golden whip in his hand, and under the reinforcement of Buddha Power, he unleashed his strongest Move, intending to end this evil on the spot.

"Ghost Buddha Martial Manual: Wheel of Heavenly Burial."

The ultimate Move surged against the sky, intersecting with the Buddha light diving from the Void Realm for an instant; the earth sank, and the heavens and earth changed color.

"Urgh—"

Amidst the sweeping aftershocks, Liao Chen was immediately flooded with eerie Buddha Power and fell down to the entrance of the Buddhist Domain.

The outcome was decided.

Wang Chen retracted the 'Buddha-Slaying' beads and pointed at Liao Chen.

"With your ability, you have absolutely no qualification to stop the Buddha-Ghost from entering the world."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liao Chen's body exploded and turned into powder.

After finishing all this, Wang Chen looked up at the person behind him.

"Empress, the obstacles hindering your advance have been eliminated."

As his voice fell, Song Qingshi and Meng Xingchen, one on the left and one on the right, escorted Yu Xiyan, who was sitting on the Ice Phoenix Imperial Throne, as she slowly descended outside the Barrier of the Buddhist Domain.

Yu Xiyan simply scanned the Buddhist Domain and couldn't help but snort: "Are you certain that Bai Xinian is hiding inside?"

Wang Chen: "Indeed. I invite the Empress to follow me to the Heavenly Flame Forbidden Land. Once Liao Chen is dead, the upper echelons of the Buddhist Domain will soon receive the news; this place is not suitable for a long stay."

Yu Xiyan: "I warn you once more. If you dare to deceive me, you should know what the consequences will be."

Wang Chen: "Empress, please rest assured. Disciples of the Ghost Buddha Sect may not be able to guarantee anything else, but we are absolutely ten thousand times more trustworthy than those Righteous Path members who boast of being prestigious families."

"Let us go."

Yu Xiyan was too lazy to say anything more and directly ordered the carriage to Move.

Led by Wang Chen, they entered the important territory of the Buddhist Domain.
