The Sixth Layer of the Vajra Realm
Little Ann obviously understood what he meant. He closed his eyes and nodded, chanting the scripture silently. The golden light from the golden avatar grew brighter and brighter, and the sound of chanting and chanting rang out vaguely.
Lietu gripped his sword firmly, completely on guard. The person before him was a rarely seen powerful enemy.
"What's she doing?"
Just as the Dauntless monk was rather perplexed, Little Ann gave him an answer. The golden avatar suddenly lit up with golden light, and it actually began to show signs of melting. Golden liquid flowed down from her beautiful face.
"She's breaking through!"
The Dauntless monk was slightly surprised. He never thought Little Ann would actually choose to break through on the spot, and right in front of an enemy at that. Her mental fortitude like that was tough, but once she failed, she would be in an extremely disadvantageous situation.
The golden avatar was like a wax figure roasted by fire, melting into a blurry humanoid shape. Little Ann silently practised the Guardian King's Scripture of Demon Subdual, and gradually, the golden avatar began to condense again, stabilising once more. The golden avatar became even finer and finer, breaking through to the fifth layer of the Guardian King's Scripture of Demon Subdual and reaching "mid Foundation Establishment".
The Dauntless monk smiled. This child had basically brought him endless surprises. If this continued, she would be able to reach peak Foundation Establishment before the age of twenty. Even in the entire history of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga, there were only a handful of peerless prodigies like that who had the opportunity to become the leader of an entire monastery before the age of thirty.
By now, he had already completely made up his mind. He would cast aside his misgivings and properly guide her so that she could accept the benevolence of the buddha.
The golden avatar was reflected in Lietu's eyes, and his pupils narrowed. He felt even more threatened, also realising that she was Just Now breaking through. He secretly regretted being too careful earlier. If he had known earlier, he would have used the opportunity to attack and catch her off-guard.
It was too late for regret now. He pointed his sword diagonally, ready to strike.
However, Little Ann closed her eyes once again.
"What's she doing now?"
The Dauntless monk was taken aback. Afterwards, he saw the golden avatar that Little Ann had just condensed begin to melt once more. Don't tell me she's about to break through again!
Even with the Dauntless monk's vast knowledge, he had no idea what to say right now. He had never seen someone as bold as her. He had never seen someone as bold as her.
"It's not that easy!"
Lietu bellowed out. How could he allow her to break through so easily? The Evil Eye sword twirled in his hand, and the eyeball was aimed at Little Ann. It rippled, and then a black streak of light suddenly shot out from the protruding centre.
Little Ann made a seal with one hand, it was as bright as a lotus flower; the other hand held the Wheel of Wisdom King's Glare, it also shot out a golden light.
The golden light and the black light collided. The Buddhist light and the demonic power clashed fiercely in mid-air, constantly melting each other and making strange and shrill buzzing sounds. A wall of light was erected between the two.
The overflowing energy surged like a ripple, sweeping through the entire square, completely crushing those Demon Generals who were still struggling at death's door and turning them into ashes. In the end, only the sturdy demon hearts were left in place. Most of them were like stones, but a few of them had a crystalline luster.
"Who is she? She's actually able to split her attention to deal with the enemy when she's wholeheartedly focused on breaking through. Or is this just a trick to lure the enemy?"
Lietu was not a cowardly person, but as he fought against Little Ann, he also had to split his attention to watch out for Li Qingshan behind him. Although Li Qingshan had said he would not fight, how could he believe the promise of an enemy as a demonfolk?
"Whatever. I'll kill her first. Demonify!"
Lietu made up his mind and unleashed surging demon qi. His long hair fluttered about, and his body swelled up as well. His limbs extended, becoming extremely long.
His face twisted into a triangular shape, with the centre protruding straight like the spine of a sword. His eyes were covered by a tough layer of eyelids, which flickered with a sharp light. Only two long, narrow holes remained for his nose, while a single horn protruded from his forehead like a sword, stabbing towards the sky. He seemed to be wearing a strange mask.
His entire body was just like the mask, flickering with a metallic lustre. He was like a sharp sword, displaying its sharpness.
He swung his sword backwards, and his body leaned forwards, shooting towards Little Ann like a javelin. He actually ignored the threat of the Wheel of the Wisdom King's Glare.
Golden light shot out and swept past Lietu, but after passing through his protective demon qi, it dimmed a lot. In the end, all it left behind was a scorch mark. He could no longer pierce through it so easily.
In a split second, the Evil Eye's sword slashed over. It was still three meters away, but the whistling of the sword Qi was ear-piercing, like the wails of thousands of ghosts.
If she were struck by the sword, she would probably be injured even with the protection of the golden avatar, let alone the fact that she was currently breaking through. Not only was she unable to dodge, but even the golden avatar was basically defenseless. As it seemed, breaking through at the last moment was not the correct choice.
Little Ann swung the Wheel of the Wisdom King's Glare indifferently. The melted, golden liquid flowed and spread across it, using it as the hilt and blade and condensing into a vajra sword again.
The golden sword was covered in complicated, beautiful patterns. There were also a few simple, imposing inscriptions engraved on it, completely merging with the Wheel of the Wisdom King's Glare. However, it was unprecedentedly perfect and harmonious, as if the two had always been one.
Clang!
The two swords collided like a clap of thunder, but both the Evil Eye sword and the vajra sword were unscathed.
Lietu was surprised. The Evil Eye was unstoppable, yet it was actually unable to cut through the vajra sword. The Evil Eye sword flicked and flicked, wanting to knock the vajra sword aside and stab into Little Ann's chest.
The vajra sword moved with him, following him like a shadow, firmly entangling the Evil Eye sword. The two swords slid and rubbed against each other, producing a string of sparks. No matter how Lietu changed his stance, he was unable to knock the vajra sword aside.
The Dauntless monk sighed inside, She can actually use such a tough vajra sword with such softness. Not only is she proficient in the buddhist dharma, but even her swordsmanship is so exquisite.
Lietu let out a shrill howl and drew back with his sword. He swung his sword wildly as if he was one with it from above.
The streaks of light rained down like a storm. As the saying went, "softness cannot be defended". Faced with such a wide-open sword style, no matter how exquisite Little Ann's swordsmanship was, he could not receive it as easily as Just Now.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
A series of thunderous booms rang out. Little Ann stood where she was, without moving at all. However, seventeen or eighteen hands seemed to grow from beside her, wielding the vajra sword like a sturdy city. No matter how intense the storm was, it did not waver at all.
In just a while, the golden avatar condensed once more. Even every single wrinkle on the skin was clearly visible, and the sense of dignity it gave off became even more solemn. Naturally, Little Ann had broken through to the sixth layer of the Guardian King's Scripture of Demon Subdual.
Under these circumstances, she had actually succeeded! The Dauntless monk no longer had any idea what to say. All he could do was silently revise his plan. If this continued, perhaps she would have the opportunity to condense a śarīra and undergo the second heavenly tribulation before the age of twenty. Just how many people throughout the ages could match up to that? Compared to her, that wretched daemon Golden Cicada was no buddhist genius at all.
Little Ann opened her eyes and glanced at Lietu indifferently. If she could use the Buddha Slaying sword embryo, she only needed a single strike to kill this demon. However, she faced the same problem as Li Qingshan. She could not directly use the great power of the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty, so she just practised the Guardian King's Scripture of Demon Subdual along the way.
It was like learning the contents of university before taking a primary school exam. It would only be strange if there were any difficulties.
Little Ann silently sensed the power flowing through her body. With this, it should be enough to kill him.
She took a step forward, and golden light shone in all directions. Sword Qi surged, about to switch from defence to offence.
Li Qingshan had been staring at the sixth Demon Suppression statue the entire time. Just Now, when Lietu gained the upper hand, he had not even glanced back. Suddenly, he looked back and said, "Oh right, I want that sword. Be careful not to break it."
It was a battle of life and death, yet he still had to tell Li Qingshan not to break the enemy's weapon! If it were not for the fact that the Dauntless monk had witnessed their teamwork Just Now, he basically would have doubted whether there were any feelings between them at all.
Little Ann agreed.
Lietu was utterly furious. She was basically treating him like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Li Qingshan said, "Oh right, you. If you put down the sword, I can let you leave this place alive."
Before Lietu could say anything, Little Ann said, "You can't."
"Why?" Li Qingshan was confused. Little Ann rarely objected to his suggestions.
Little Ann said, "He said he wanted your demon heart earlier. Looks like that sword needs a suitable demon heart to unleash its power. We're not too suited for the seventh floor, so his demon heart is the best choice."
"I see. Alright then, let's kill him!"
Li Qingshan passed down the instructions easily before turning around and looking at the Demon Suppression statue again. Before long, the statue lit up.
Little Ann leapt up gently and turned into a streak of golden light. She swung her sword through the air and landed on the golden light.
Little Ann raised her hand and grabbed the edge of the sword, forcing herself into Lietu's bosom. The vajra sword stabbed straight in, and Lietu also extended his hand to grab the vajra sword in surprise.
The two of them grabbed each other's sword with one hand and gripped the hilt tightly with the other, pressing it against each other. Neither of them gave in. The two swords broke free at the same time and landed on each other.
Lietu clutched his abdomen and pushed it away. Blood oozed out as the sword qi that contained buddhist powers wreaked havoc inside.
On the other hand, Little Ann did not take a single step back. An extremely clear slash had appeared on her golden crown as well. Logically speaking, the head was a more vital point than the abdomen, but with the golden avatar protecting him, Little Ann was not afraid of clashing with him at all.
And, after reaching the sixth layer of the Guardian King's Scripture of Demon Subdual, her golden avatar had become far tougher than disciples of the monastery at the same level of cultivation. Getting through her golden avatar in a single strike was not something a Demon General could achieve.
Damn it. If I find a suitable demon heart, I can split her head in half with a single strike!
Just at this moment, the golden figure once again appeared in front of him, and the sword qi swept over.
Xiao An only attacked, not defending at all. She allowed Lietu to leave behind slashes on the golden body, forcing Lietu back step by step. Blood constantly sprayed from his body. There was a flash of golden light, and three of her fingers flew out.
Li Qingshan closed his eyes and said without even looking back, "If you come any closer, I'm going to attack too."
Lietu was utterly furious. Suddenly, he leapt backwards. In the air, he stabbed his sword into his own chest.
Li Qingshan was surprised. Don't tell me he's lost his mind from anger!
