The Ascetic Buddhist Tribe, which was supposed to be the cleanest of desires, had transformed into a Disaster that was most unlikely to become — a Greed.
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, perhaps none of them present would have believed that such a thing could happen.
Even Virtuoso and Saber9, who were experienced and knowledgeable, were momentarily stunned when they first saw this Greed. However, their expressions subsequently changed slightly.
The Ascetic Buddhist Tribe was the purest ascetic cultivators.
Their willpower and spirit were extremely powerful, which meant that their abilities were usually not weak.
Although this Ascetic Buddhist Tribe member that had transformed into a Greed only had seventh-rank heavenly god-level combat strength, the aura emanating from its body was terrifying.
Furthermore, it attacked with all its might right from the start. Its six arms extended simultaneously, transforming into six gigantic mountains that were tens of thousands of feet tall, crashing down toward Lin Huang and the rest.
Each of the mountains was surrounded by at least nine levels of sequence power.
This attack alone was enough to suppress a ninth-rank heavenly god-level powerhouse.
Saber9 and Virtuoso's expressions could not help changing drastically.
Both of them hurriedly attacked, wanting to defend themselves against this attack.
Before Saber9, up to a hundred sword formations lit up with golden gleams in the air, overlapping one another. Within the sword formations, up to a million golden saber gleams lit up. They were so dense that they blotted out the sun.
He had truly held nothing back in this attack, unleashing it with all his might.
Even Lin Huang, who was standing off to one side, was rather astonished by what he saw.
However, very soon, something even more astonishing to Lin Huang happened.
Virtuoso actually adopted the same stance as Saber9. Up to a hundred sword formations consolidated rapidly before them as well, and up to a million golden saber gleams filled the sky like starlight.
"What's going on?!"
Lin Huang's eyes widened. As a sword cultivator, he had not sensed even a hint of a saber cultivator's aura from Virtuoso at all.
However, at this moment, Virtuoso was using the exact same technique as Saber9. Furthermore, Lin Huang could clearly sense that the sword formations and saber gleams that Virtuoso had constructed were real, not mere illusions.
Tu Tong seemed to have noticed Lin Huang's surprise. He explained telepathically, "This is the effect of Master's peeking god sequence chains. He can spy on other people's tactics and replicate them."
Only then did Lin Huang notice that under Virtuoso's mask, blood-red sigils were flowing faintly in their eyes.
Saber9 and Virtuoso attacked together, and countless sword gleams charged toward the gigantic palm.
It was as if a meteor shower had crashed into a gigantic wall.
Countless streaks of golden light whizzed out and collided with the mountain-like palms.
In an instant, the flowing light disappeared and the mountains collapsed.
With the two of them working together, they managed to block the Ascetic Buddhist Greed's attack.
The Ascetic Buddhist Greed's strength was evident.
The Ascetic Buddhist Greed was only stunned for a moment when its attack was blocked. Then, it launched several more palm strikes.
Each palm was more ferocious than the last, and his mouth was also shouting continuously.
"Demons, even if I have to put my life on the line today, I will kill you all!"
The blood-red ferocious glint in its three eyes became even more intense.
Watching as Saber9 and Virtuoso worked together to block the Ascetic Buddhist Greed's palm strikes, Lin Huang did not attack at all.
Instead, he stared at the Ascetic Buddhist Greed, deep in thought.
"This fellow doesn't seem to realize at all that it's been demonized into a Greed …"
"Aren't you going to help?" Off to one side, Lan Ling could not help asking when she saw that Saber9 and Virtuoso were having a hard time.
"I'm waiting for the opportunity to attack," Lin Huang said calmly.
The reason he did not join the battle was that he knew very well that even if he did, it would be very difficult for the battle to end in a short amount of time. It would be very difficult for him and his team to escape before the next monster arrived.
After saying that, Lin Huang did not explain further.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Virtuoso spoke to the Ascetic Buddhist Greed as they fought.
"You keep calling us monsters, but you don't seem to realize that the only monster here is you. We're the only normal people who haven't been contaminated by Abyssal energy. "
"Nonsense!" The Ascetic Buddhist Greed slammed its palm down again.
"As an eminent monk of the Ascetic Buddhist Tribe, don't you notice the abnormality in your body at all? Or could it be that you're aware of it but choose to turn a blind eye to it?! "
"You're deluding the masses with lies!" The Ascetic Buddhist Greed slammed its palm down again.
"You know best whether or not I'm deluding the masses with lies. I don't believe that as an eminent monk, you can't sense that your body has been contaminated by Abyssal energy and negative emotions at all. "
"If it doesn't believe me, show it the Mirror of Truth and let it see what it looks like now." As a spectator, Lin Huang could not help joining in the discussion.
"Good idea!" Virtuoso exclaimed, then retrieved a mirror from their storage space and aimed it at the Ascetic Buddhist Greed.
Although it did not believe what Virtuoso and Lin Huang said, the Ascetic Buddhist Greed could not help looking at the mirror.
With one look, it saw what it looked like now.
It was as thin as a mummy. Not only that, but it also had six arms and three eyes. It looked extremely hideous.
"This is a trick. How boring!" the Ascetic Buddhist Greed growled.
"This isn't a trick. This is what you look like to us right now," Virtuoso explained. "It's just that you've been blinded by Abyssal energy and negative emotions, so you can't see the truth.
"In your eyes, you're normal, and we're monsters. However, the truth is the opposite. The Mirror of Truth's feedback has proven the problem. "
"The Mirror of Truth can be faked!" The Ascetic Buddhist Greed insisted.
"See for yourself if it's real or not!" Virtuoso tossed the Mirror of Truth to the Ascetic Buddhist Greed right away.
The Ascetic Buddhist Greed picked up the mirror and saw its skinny, dark face at first glance.
It then looked at the rest of its body in the mirror, its frown deepening.
As an Ascetic Buddhist Tribe member, its spirit strength and willpower far surpassed that of ordinary seventh-rank powerhouses. It had even reached ninth-rank. It was unlikely that anyone below half-step lord-level would have the ability to drag it into an illusion.
Therefore, the Mirror of Truth before it should be real.
At the thought of this, the Ascetic Buddhist Greed found it difficult to accept for a moment. It was stunned where it stood.
It had been slaughtering monsters for many years, but it had never imagined that the biggest monster was actually itself.
Right at this moment, a blood-red sword gleam flashed through the air.
The person who had attacked was Lin Huang, who had been preparing for a long time.
He had been waiting for this opportunity to attack.
He did not hold back at all with this attack. Sword Dao heavenly rule combined with the power of nine levels of god sequence chains.
The sword gleam was like the Grim Reaper's scythe, yet it also resembled a blood moon hanging in the sky.
In an instant, it swept past the Ascetic Buddhist Greed's body …
It did not even have time to dodge or defend itself. All it saw was a red gleam coming toward it, and its body was immediately turned into a headless corpse …
