Chapter 163

: Cutting His Own Arm
 
This was the biggest loss that Mister Sea had suffered, and he could not retrieve himself back from that.
Plus the Ming Emperor said that he had destined fate with Buddha, which deeply unsettled him because such person was already considered to be the Buddha of the world. Now that he made such statement, this might be a prophecy waiting to come true.
Mister Sea could not imagine himself being a bald monk, who was required to be disciplined, living with restrictions, whereas he wanted to live luxuriously, with countless concubines and unleash his lust.
With Mister Sea’s intelligence, he understood that this would be his hurdle. Even if Ming Emperor was not as good as the Buddha, so Mister Sea wanted to borrow the Buddha relics, understand the meaning within, overcome his own mental hurdle, to aid his breakthrough and solve this future disaster.
Mister Sea gradually turned calm and replied,
I would never believe in Buddhism
.
Then, his eyes filled with ray exploded and fell on Hui Ke’s body, yet Hui Ke’s body seemed to be protected by a layer of Buddhist ray, shielded itself from Mister Sea’s visual prowess, leaving him unaffected.
Mister Sea got up, walked towards Hui Ke step by step, very casually, as if he was out of this world.
Song Qingyi felt a strange aura and wanted to move, but was stopped by Shen Lian.
Now that Hui Ke and Mister Sea were competing for using aura energy, they should not trigger anything else. If not they might get dragged in and be amounted to immense pressure and get themselves into unforeseen trouble.
Hui Ke and Mister Sea were also not equally matched. As Mister Sea approached, the Buddha ray in front turned to colorful rays, went up and down like a duckweed.
Mister Sea not only released a strong mental prowess to pressure Hui Ke, his brutal strong mana was also charging towards him like waves of mountains and seas. This strong mana was all directed towards Hui Ke and nowhere else.
If this mana was dispersed elsewhere, the whole Zui Xian Ju would not exist anymore, that was without question.
Hui Ke was one with a kind heart, so he faced the mana directly, his brows started to tense, not as comfortable as he looked before.
Buddha had its demon-fighting techniques, but not all demons could be defeated.
Mister Sea was very weary of the Ming Wang temple. He shouldn’t have done anything harmful to Hui Ke, but since Hui Ke had taken the initiative, he decided to teach him a little lesson.
Hui Ke’s intentions were simple. It was Ming Emperor who said that Mister Sea was destined to Buddhism, which was almost the truth, hence he purely wanted Mister Sea to understand that point earlier.
However, while facing an immense amount of mana from Mister Sea, Hui Ke could only face it head on, else it would cause harm to people around.
That was not his real intention.
In addition, his encounter with Mister Sea today was a fateful encounter in his eyes. He then made a decision using his diamond heart.
Hui Ke held a knife, a very sharp one, which was not cut on Mister Sea’s body, but one of his own arms.
The wound on his arm was bleeding with golden colored blood, also meaning that his Immovable Body of Ming Emperor had gone through its core and almost perfected.
Now that he had easily cut off his own arm, Hui Ke’s expression had not changed even a bit.
The arm disappeared in a blink followed by countless gold dust. Out in the thin air, it formed a Buddha statue, which looked so large and majestic, with the characteristic of a guardian deity. That mana of Mister Sea’s, when it encountered the Buddha statue, just like a spring breeze blew on lake water, it may cause some ripple, but not enough to cause a wave.
Shen Lian was instantly shaken. His had heard from early times, that there was a sacrificial technique in the Buddhist sect, the flesh sacrifice to the Buddha. This was almost similar to the Daoist technique of asking favors using sacrificial offerings, which could communicate with the powers of the Buddha.
The Buddha powers had no boundaries and could overcome all obstacles.
Hui Ke’s tenacity and determination were what impressed Mister Sea.
The Buddha figure put out a palm, it instantly gave Mister Sea a feeling as if he had nowhere to go in this whole wide world.
Just like the monkey in the mythical legend, this was suppressed by Buddha’s palm, and trapped under the Five Fingers Mountain.
This palm technique had no tracks like the heaven and earth, it was pure brute strength. With his own eyes, Shen Lian saw layers and layers of dimensions broken down like paper pastes and crumbled, but before the fragments could implode, it got transferred from the palm onto Mister Sea’s body.
There was no loud collision or band because Buddha was merciful, and with it, limitless mana, dissipated the remaining waves. In a blink, Mister Sea was instantly hit and flew to the horizon out to nowhere.
The Buddha ray vanished together with the Buddha figure. Qi Xiu immediately went up and used the Seal of No Fear. Pure white ray fell on Hui Ke’s arm wound, and healed it instantly.
Hui Ke looked at Qi Xiu, gave a gentle smile, and said,
Thank you
. He recognized that this was the Seal of No Fear from the Zizai Hermitage. If this young lady had mastered the Pure Bottle of Willow, she would have released the San Guang Holy water, and could even resurrect the dead, and grow flesh from bones.
Shen Lian saluted,
Grand Master really has a kind heart,
This was Shen Lian’s real thoughts. With Hui Ke’s cultivation level, he might not be as good as Mister Sea, but with the long history of Ming Wang temple, there must be some secret techniques that could help Hui Ke escape.
But then, the people around here would have suffered. Shen Lian might have the confidence to protect himself, but might not be the case for Song Qingyi and Qi Xiu. Though these two also came from solid backgrounds, they might have tricks up their sleeves too. However, Jui Xian Ju will undoubtedly be destroyed, and those normal peasants with no mana powers would not survive.
Hui Ke said,
This is not kindness, just couldn’t have the heart for it. Previously I sent Hong Zhen to invite you to attend to my and Baoyue the Venerable’s dilemma, but never would I have thought of meeting you here under such circumstances.
Then only Shen Lian believed that Hong Zhen was telling the truth. It was really Hui Ke himself who invited him over.
But Hong Zhen’s foundation of Guardian Deity Prowess was solid. If he continued to study the Scripture of Immovable Ming Emperor, unless he was reincarnated, else this would not be possible, which led Shen Lian to not understand the relationship between Hui Ke and Hong Zhen. From the looks of it, Hui Ke’s intended inheritor of Ming Wang temple must not be Hong Zhen.
After all, an inheritor of Ming Wang temple would not have been one who took other sect’s teachings as their foundation.
Shen Lian replied,
Things are always unpredictable, maybe even the Buddha could not have predicted the future. After this incident, Grand Master had remained unchanged; this should mean that you are attaining Dao very soon. It is just that you are in bad shape at the moment, there is still time before the date of the dilemma, why not I treat with some mana until the Shang Yuan festival
.
He was genuinely impressed with the strong will displayed by Hui Ke who could lose an arm in such situation and did not panic. Even after that, he did not fluster. This was some feat that Shen Lian knew himself he could not have done.
