The old monk slowly appeared in front of Siao Qi, his glass-like body radiating light.
He slowly raised his right hand, calmly and elegantly. He bent his index finger and gently flicked it. His solemn and holy face revealed a smile.
Siao Shi was stretching her back. Seeing the old monk, her eyes widened.
She opened her mouth to speak but the old monk flicked his finger and her heart was instantly shattered.
Everything came to an abrupt stop. The world stopped in her eyes. Her eyes slowly closed and her body fell to the ground, silent. She was dead.
Everything seemed slow but it was so fast that Chu Li could not react.
The old monk smiled at Chu Li again and flicked his index finger.
A strange force appeared out of nowhere in Chu Li's heart. It was about to explode his heart into pieces. The Heavenly Demonic Energy that had been hiding in his heart suddenly condensed. Like a beast pouncing, it swallowed the force in one gulp.
Seeing that he killed Siao Shi with one finger, Chu Li was furious. He wanted to go forward and chop off his smiling head. He wanted to cut him into pieces.
He was furious but he became calmer. Using the Scripture of Life and Death, he instantly turned from glory to wither. His spiritual energy dissipated and his body fell like a dead tree.
"Amitabha!" The old monk stood in front of Chu Li and chanted the name of Buddha.
The name of Buddha was calm and peaceful. It slowly spread out in the sky.
Everyone in the Horse Racing Town heard the name of Buddha. When the name of Buddha entered their ears, their mood became calm and their restlessness disappeared.
The two groups of people who were fighting outside the Horse Racing Town suddenly stopped. The hostility in their hearts mysteriously disappeared. Suddenly, they felt that what they were doing was ridiculous.
Without thinking much, they turned and left.
"Amitabha …" The old monk chanted the name of Buddha again.
When the name of Buddha entered their ears, everyone's heart became calm and peaceful. The old monk's appearance appeared in their minds.
Gu Yue was gazing on the tree. Suddenly, he saw a ray of light shooting into the sky and heard the name of Buddha. He shouted in surprise, "Revered Sir Kong Hai!"
He appeared in front of the old monk like a wisp of smoke. Seeing his body like colored glass, solemn and dignified, with a halo behind his head, he widened his eyes and cried out, "Revered Sir Kong Hai?"
The old monk turned around and pressed his palms together. His voice was calm and peaceful, "Almsgiver Gu, I have finished my worldly affairs and will return to the temple to cultivate in isolation."
"They …?" Gu Yue looked at the two people on the ground.
Kong Hai revealed a compassionate expression and said kindly, "The two almsgivers have already departed to the West. His Highness King An can be rest assured. I shall take my leave first."
"Is Venerable One about to become a Buddha?" Gu Yue hurriedly asked.
Kong Hai sighed. "A monk doesn't lie. I'm just borrowing a strand of the power of Buddha from beyond the heavens. I'm still far from being able to achieve anything. This time, I'll be going into seclusion, hoping to achieve something in this world. Farewell!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he pressed his palms together and suddenly disappeared.
Gu Yue's eyes widened. The scene before him made him respect the Titanium Temple even more.
He stood there blankly for a moment before coming back to his senses. He went forward to check on Chu Li and Siao Shi and smiled.
Both of them were dead and their bodies were stiff. Even if they had miraculous pills, it would be useless. Even the Spirit Blessing Pill from the Yi Public House could not save them!
He stared at Siao Shi.
The dead Siao Shi was still as beautiful as ever. Her eyes were slightly closed and her expression was serene. It was as if she had been liberated and was in no pain at all.
Gu Yue sighed. "As expected of the Ji Dynasty's number one beauty!"
He shook his head in his heart.
His Royal Highness King An was too cruel. He loved his country but not beauties. Although he could get any beauty he wanted as an Emperor, it would be hard for him to meet a beauty like Siao Shi who was hard to come by.
For the sake of the throne, King An was willing to be ruthless. He was indeed a man who would achieve great things.
However, it was Venerable One Kong Hai who did it himself. If it was him, he would not have been able to be so cruel.
"Sigh …" Gu Yue shook his head and sighed.
He could not bear to leave such a beautiful corpse in the wilderness. It was better to let her rest in peace.
He slammed both of his palms and a huge pit quickly appeared on the ground. He gently placed Siao Shi in the pit. After some thought, he threw Chu Li in as well. It was considered as a meritorious deed.
He pushed both of his palms back into the soil and stomped on it. He did not erect a sign and floated away.
—
Chu Li was in a strange state. His body was like a withered tree, no different from death but his mind was awake. The Omniscient Mirror was getting clearer and clearer. He saw that Kong Hai's left wrist was missing a bead. As expected, this was the power of the sarira.
Seeing that Gu Yue had gone far away, he urged the Flourishing Withering Technique. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged and the Heavenly Demonic Energy in his chest began to circulate. It was vigorous and vast. He had unknowingly stepped into the second level.
It devoured the old monk Kong Hai's finger energy and strengthened itself.
It turned out that he had been cultivating the wrong way all this while. The Heavenly Demonic Energy was strengthened by devouring. The cultivation of the Heavenly Demonic Power was to transform the devoured Heavenly Demonic Energy into his own and not to increase the Heavenly Demonic Energy.
He carried Siao Shi out of the mud pit without a sound. It was as easy as coming out of the water.
He gently placed Siao Shi on the ground and wiped the mud away from her mouth and nose. He sighed but he was not in a hurry. He was thinking about the scene where Kong Hai appeared.
Kong Hai's state at that moment was too shocking. It was as if he had turned into a Buddha. The formation was forcefully broken by him. Although the power of the formation was not strong, it was shocking enough.
The Tempest Temple had this kind of secret skill and so did the Titanium Temple. They were like the Buddha that descended from the heavens, unparalleled.
The Heavenly Demonic Energy circulated in his body and devoured Kong Hai's palm energy in one breath. It then circulated one round in his body and returned to his chest. It lay dormant.
The Heavenly Demonic Energy that stepped into the second level was indeed powerful. Unfortunately, it was too weak before. Otherwise, he would not have to suffer.
Without the destruction of Kong Hai's palm energy, his body's tyrannical side was fully displayed. He also consumed a Spirit Blessing Pill. With that, he quickly recovered from his injuries.
In the next moment, he arrived at the tallest restaurant in the city.
There was a metal pole erected outside the restaurant. The flag was fluttering. The three words "Raging Sand Tower" could be seen from any place in the city.
Chu Li took out twenty thousand taels of silver and booked the entire restaurant. He ordered the people to move the metal pole to a position that was close to the wall within an hour.
The restaurant manager hurriedly agreed.
Twenty thousand taels of silver was enough to buy the entire restaurant. He only booked it for a few days. Of course, he made a fortune. He was excited and motivated. According to Chu Li's request, the metal pole was moved within an hour and everyone else was dismissed.
Chu Li was already very familiar with the Eclipse Purloin.
The dark clouds quickly gathered in the sky, as if the sky had darkened.
The thunder roared, frightening the people of Horse Racing Town. First, there was the descent of the eminent monk, the Dharma of Salvation. Then, there was the thunder. Could it be to punish the evil?
Chu Li stood on the top floor and watched as Siao Shi's shattered heart slowly recovered. He still felt that it was unbelievable. The Eclipse Purloin Technique was miraculous beyond imagination. To be able to recover from such an injury, it was unimaginable.
Bolts of thunder were diverted away by the metal pole and could not land on him.
Chu Li did not dare to be careless. His body was like a dead tree. He wanted to pretend to be dead to see if he could divert the thunder punishment.
"Pa!" A bolt of lightning bypassed the metal pole and hit the top of his head.
He fell on his back and landed heavily on the floor.
The Heavenly Demonic Energy circulated desperately, swallowing the lightning. However, it was like a snake swallowing an elephant. It was difficult to swallow. The power of the thunder was purer than Kong Hai's finger energy.
Chu Li was not worried. As long as his spirit was not injured, he would not die with the Life and Death Scripture.
Siao Shi slowly opened her eyes. She turned her head and looked around. She slowly sat up.
She was sitting on a square table made of two dining tables. There was no one beside her. Where was Chu Li?
She turned her head and saw Chu Li lying on the floor.
She hurriedly reached out her hand to help him up. Her fragrant body trembled as an electric current ran through her body. She fell on the floor. Her black and thick hair straightened as if it was about to explode.
Chu Li let out a long sigh and sat up.
The Life and Death Scripture was indeed powerful. After a few changes, the power of the thunder was eliminated. He was resurrected from the dead. He had deceived it.
