The Eye of the Sword
Eternal Faith leaned against the icy-cold wall of the tower. Although he was protected by the robes and the golden avatar, he did not feel safe at all as he watched Li Qingshan's vicious, red eyes rapidly approach him. He felt like he was a mortal, yet he was locked in the same cage as a vicious tiger.
There was a great thunk!
Li Qingshan's punch was like a dragon, piercing through the air and landing on the golden bell. The golden bell twisted and distorted, sinking into a deep pit. Golden light shot out.
"Argh!"
Eternal Faith cried out. A fist mark appeared on his robes as well, lingering for a very long time. His Protective Robes of the Golden Bell was an arcane artifact!
Although it was just an inferior arcane artifact, it should not have been so fragile, having been damaged to such a degree by a single punch. If it had directly landed on him, would he still be alive?
Li Qingshan glanced at his fist. From the expression on his face, he seemed rather dissatisfied with the power of the punch.
Although his strength had skyrocketed after demonifying, it was still nowhere close to the destructive power of the true ox demon and tiger demon. Otherwise, a casual punch from him would have been enough to crush Eternal Faith and his robes to smithereens.
However, he was at the foot of Great Buddha mountain. Even in the Demon Suppression Tower, he dared not use his daemon powers carelessly. Who knew whether the Dauntless monk's senior and junior brother were watching over here or not.
If he could not destroy Eternal Faith's defences as soon as possible, the powerful figures of the monastery would probably come to his rescue, and he would not be able to teach him a vicious lesson.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew over. The wooden fish opened its mouth again, trying to swallow Li Qingshan. At the same time, the wooden fish mallet silently circled around behind him, flying towards the back of his head. It was only the same size as a regular wooden fish mallet. If he were careless, it would be extremely easy for him to fall for it.
Li Qingshan leapt up and dodged the wooden fish's bite. He reached backwards without even looking back, and the wooden fish mallet landed in his hand. Then he swiftly descended, trampling on the wooden fish viciously.
The two arcane artifacts trembled desperately, but they were unable to break free from his restraint.
After demonifying, these two arcane artifacts could no longer pose any threat to him. Li Qingshan smiled and pulled out a strange-looking sword from his hundred treasures pouch. It was the Traitorous Demon Sword.
The eyeball on the hilt of the sword turned and stared at Eternal Faith. Eternal Faith felt a chill in his heart. He felt as if he had been completely seen through.
In Li Qingshan's vision, he saw a different scene.
He felt that his vision had passed through the golden bell, the golden body, and even the skin, flesh, and bones. He saw something even more fundamental. He saw the demonic nature in Eternal Faith's heart, a mass of black mist.
Everyone had a demonic nature in their hearts. Although Eternal Faith was a Buddhist disciple, he was greedy and easily angered. His Buddhist nature was above that of ordinary people. Then he retracted his gaze and stopped at Eternal Faith's layer of golden bell.
The strange eyeball on the Traitorous Demon sword's hilt trembled. Suddenly, Li Qingshan saw a faint black line on the golden bell. However, he could not see anything with his naked eye, nor could he detect anything with his divine sense.
"What's that?"
With a thought, Li Qingshan swung the Traitorous Demon Sword and tried to slash down along the black line.
There was a flash of light. Eternal Faith was just about to mock Li Qingshan's futile effort when he suddenly felt a chill on his body. His robe had been silently cut open, revealing his chest and belly and his white, fat flesh.
There was a flash of light, and the golden bell disappeared. The robe had lost its protective ability.
"How is this possible? My golden bell has protective arcane energy. This must be a coincidence!" Eternal Faith's eyes widened. He could not believe that a protective arcane artifact had been destroyed so silently.
Li Qingshan gazed at the Traitorous Demon Sword in his hand and praised, "Good sword!" So the black line was where the gap in the robe was. He was rather surprised. After obtaining this sword, he had not studied it properly. He never thought that it would have such an ability.
The Traitorous Demon sword's original name was the Evil Eye. Its most powerful aspect was not how sharp the blade was or how tough the blade was. Instead, it could use its "eye" to see many things that the naked eye could not, such as the flaws that existed in the object itself.
Lietu had relied on this ability to kill a powerful Demon General in a single strike and retrieve his demon heart.
However, without a suitable demon heart as the pupil, he could not unleash the true power of this ability. Afterwards, Lietu merged with the sword and used his own demon heart to bestow the pupil, but he was delirious, and he was trapped in the Demon Suppression Tower, engaging in close combat with the mad Duoge. He was unable to unleash the power of the sword at all.
Afterwards, he died, and the Traitorous Demon sword ended up in Li Qingshan's hands. Originally, making the Traitorous Demon sword yield was anything but easy. If regular demonfolk obtained the sword, they would have to rub and refine it day and night. It would take them several months at the very least before they could unleash its power.
However, the demonic nature that Li Qingshan possessed was far too pure and powerful. He did not fear the Traitorous Demon sword's characteristics at all, which was why it was named the Traitorous Demon. As if the Traitorous Demon sword had met a master that understood it, it was willing to serve him. Before Li Qingshan could study it carefully, Pina volunteered her power.
Just like how no one was perfect, Eternal Faith's Protective Robes of the Golden Bell were not actually as flawless as they seemed. Instead, they possessed flaws.
In particular, after directly blocking Li Qingshan's punch and palm strike, these "flaws" became even more obvious. However, they were still not visible to the naked eye. However, with the Traitorous Demon sword in hand, Li Qingshan could see through the flaws.
It was like a battle between two armies. They were facing a natural stronghold where one man could hold the pass against ten thousand. If they launched a frontal assault, perhaps even an army of a hundred thousand would struggle to emerge victorious. However, as long as they found a suitable guide and found a narrow, winding path that no one knew about, they only needed to send out a group of elite soldiers, and they would be able to defeat the enemy.
The Traitorous Demon sword took on the role of this guide.
"Li Qingshan, don't come over here. This is the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga. You can't kill me!"
Eternal Faith put on a brave front. He urged his powers desperately, and his golden body shone even brighter. He groaned inside, So this Li Qingshan's true identity is a demonfolk. Now that I've seen his true form, he definitely won't let me escape. He'll silence me. If I had known earlier, why would I have been so angry with him over a few words?
He was angry with Li Qingshan not only because he was narrow-minded, but also because he believed he had the upper hand. He viewed Li Qingshan as a turtle in a jar, able to do whatever he wanted to him. Never did he think he would actually be able to force him into such a situation under the encirclement of so many people.
Li Qingshan smiled faintly and closed his eyes. He sent his soul sense into the Traitorous Demon sword, and the evil eye on the hilt produced ripples of evil light.
Afterwards, he "saw" that the golden light from Eternal Faith had dimmed. Black spots appeared on his golden body, which were all the weak points of the golden body. There were even a few black spots among them, which seemed extremely dark.
An opening!
Li Qingshan took a step out, and the Traitorous Demon sword advanced unstoppably, piercing through space and stabbing one of the black spots.
Li Qingshan opened his eyes again, but all he saw was the golden body that shone with golden light. There were no black spots or black spots at all. However, where the tip of the sword reached, the golden body became riddled with cracks.
Li Qingshan smiled and poured all of his strength and spiritual qi into the sword. The tip of the sword stabbed in.
Clang!
Like the sound of metal shattering, the indestructible Buddhist golden body shattered and scattered. Eternal Faith was like a crab that had lost its shell. His face was filled with disbelief, and he no longer had his domineering arrogance.
As Eternal Faith pushed the wooden fish with all his might, he hurriedly reached for his hundred treasures pouch. He still had many powerful talismans hidden away, which were enough to turn defeat into victory. However, the moment his fingers touched the hundred treasures pouch, the cold edge of the sword pressed against his neck.
He had never thought that Li Qingshan would be able to tear through his two layers of defense so quickly and easily. As a result, he was not mentally prepared at all and did not use many of his techniques. This was also a sign of inexperience in battle.
"If you move again, your head will be separated!"
Li Qingshan said. Eternal Faith felt pain on his neck, and warm liquid flowed down. He immediately did not dare to move again. Looking at those dark red eyes, his expression twitched. His expression looked like he wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. He was sure that Li Qingshan wanted to kill him to silence him, and wanted to say some flattering words to beg for his life. He often heard these kinds of words, but at this moment, he could not say a single word.
Clatter, clatter. Chains of Demon Suppression fell down, binding Eternal Faith like a dumpling and suspending him in the Demon Suppression Tower. Eternal Faith forced himself to calm down. "If you kill me, you won't be able to escape death yourself!"
"If you don't want to provoke me into really killing you, then shut up!"
Eternal Faith immediately did not dare to say another word, but a glimmer of hope rose in his heart. He really did not dare to kill me. He thought viciously, When I get out, let's see how I'll deal with you!
"Hmph, don't think that I don't know what you're thinking. You're a lowly person who takes bribes. You did it yourself, so why can't I say it? I originally did not want to pay attention to you, but you chased me relentlessly and refused to let me go. You even dared to imitate others and play tricks with words. Why don't you take a look at yourself first? There's a saying in my hometown, 'Don't take my low-profile as your capital to show off. Have you heard of it!'
Eternal Faith naturally did not dare to reply.
Li Qingshan took out a whip from his hundred treasures pouch. This was only a high grade spiritual tool, and he had forgotten where he had obtained it from. Adding on that he was not good at using whips, he had not thought that he would be able to use it. He did not think that he would have the chance to use it today.
He grasped the handle, shook it hard, and swung it around his head before lashing it out fiercely. With a pa, a bloody mark instantly appeared on Eternal Faith's body. His entire body trembled, and he let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
Although he was bound, he still had spiritual qi to protect his body, so he should not have been so weak. However, Li Qingshan's whip contained a demon-suppressing power. With a demon in his heart, he could not escape punishment.
Eternal Faith cursed again. Li Qingshan laughed loudly, and brandished the whip like a dragon or a snake, fiercely lashing at Eternal Faith. He felt great pleasure in his heart, and felt that Seng Qi was attacking the Demon Suppression Tower outside, but he did not take it to heart at all.
The special characteristic of this Demon Suppression Tower was that the stronger the demonic nature of the person being suppressed, the sturdier it would be. Although Eternal Faith was a lowly person, and did not have a deep demonic nature, Li Qingshan's own demonic nature was really too strong. Being inside, this Demon Suppression Tower was extremely sturdy, unprecedented.
He felt a tremor coming from under his feet.
If the senior who created the Demon Suppression Statuary didn't even have a foundation when he created the Demon Suppression Pagoda, and could just casually dig in, then what kind of demon suppression was there to talk about?
"Amitabha, what's going on?"
