Chapter 1212: All Evils Are Annihilated

“This…”

“What just happened?”

“This dude, with a punch…”

Many people were panic-stricken. It was an incredible scene, and they stared at it in a daze. Xu Que’s punch had penetrated the chest of the innkeeper and hit the bull’s eye. He had punched through his heart. By and large, anyone in the Human Celestial Stage, if their hearts or even their heads suffered severe damage, it would not be fatal, and there would still be hope of being saved. But that innkeeper’s vitality had been destroyed, and he was killed on the spot.

There was only one explanation. Xu Que’s punch not only shattered the innkeeper’s heart, but all his internal organs, including his Dantian. Otherwise, the innkeeper wouldn’t have died so fast! But the problem was that Xu Que didn’t use his Celestial Core Power just now. It was just a punch purely with the power of his physical body, and someone in the Human Celestial Stage was killed then and there.

What is this?

His physical body is already at sage level before even cultivating?

A fellow who seemingly had no cultivation had such a strong physical body?

“This is bad. There’s something off with this dude. Get rid of him now!” Just then, a guard responded with a cry of surprise.

Immediately, the other guards came from where they were and left only one to keep Lord Zeng busy. The rest attacked Xu Que. However, Xu Que was in a sluggish state again, as if everything that had just happened was only a subconscious reaction, a reflex from his body. He didn’t pay any attention to the guards who were dashing toward him.

“Xu Que, strike back!” Lord Zeng was caught by a guard. He couldn’t free himself to help Xu Que. He could only shout.

Although Xu Que had displayed a strong physical attack, it didn’t mean that he could withstand the attacks from several in the Human Celestial Stage. Many from the crowd knew that Xu Que’s body wasn’t really at sage level. If he suffered from those attacks, he would either die or be severely disabled.

Lin Yuxi was extremely anxious, but she was at a complete loss as to what to do. She could only continue to foolishly protect Xu Que by standing in front of him. She was fearless of death and willing to ward off all the attacks on him.

“D*mn it, what’s going on with this dude!”

When Lord Zeng saw several guards activate various Magic Arts and throw them all onto Xu Que, he couldn’t hold back any longer. He gritted his teeth and muttered a sentence in secret. He seemed to have made a difficult choice. With a sudden wave of his hand, he pulled out a golden bead!

Hum!

When the golden bead was out, it burst out with a dazzling golden brilliance in an instant. At the same time, a loud peal rang out from the bell of the Buddhas Sect. It was like a sound from the Ninth Heaven. The sound was so persistent that everyone’s ears were buzzing and it was causing their thoughts to freeze.

Lin Yuxi’s Cultivation Stage was too low. Blood was drained from her face as she spit out a mouthful of blood.

“Buddha-Prison Sarira?” Someone in the crowd screamed as he recognized what Lord Zen was holding.

That was a great treasure of the Buddhas Sect. It was similar to an amulet, and it could temporarily enhance strength. But the price Lord Zeng had to pay was the swallowing up of his cultivation and a regression to his Cultivation Stage. And if he wanted to cultivate back to where he was, it would be extremely difficult. Some people described the process as the glory before being banished into the Buddha Prison; hence, it was named as the Buddha-Prison Sarira!

“Did Lord Zeng make such a sacrifice to save this fellow?” Somebody was alarmed.

Many on the scene had a change in their expressions; they had a bad feeling. Could it be this foolish dude was really from the Exploding Heavens Faction?

“Impermanence is the rule of life and death!” Meanwhile, Lord Zeng had already put his palms together; he was looking solemn and modest as he recited the Buddhist’s adage with dignity.

Bam!

The entire golden bead burst open in the air in an instant, scattering into gold powders which fell onto him and, in the blink of an eye, a golden body was attained and it was glistening.

“Amitabha, all evils are annihilated!” He recited and waved his palm.

Several guards who were dashing toward Xu Que were slammed flat onto the ground instantly. Their Magic Arts were broken and shattered to pieces before they could hit Xu Que.

Whoosh!

The next moment, Lord Zeng took a step out, beamed himself to Xu Que, grabbed him and Lin Yuxi, and then bolted away.

“That’s not the real Buddha-Prison Sarira. It’s a counterfeit. Its power and the effective time were lower than normal. Give chase!” A guard shouted, activated his Magic Art, and darted up to the sky.

The rest of them quickly got up from the ground and tried to catch up.

Bang!

Suddenly, a huge Buddha’s palm fell from the sky with a strong and impressive aura, and it enveloped the area.

The guard who was darting ahead was bombarded by the Buddha’s palm and he spit out a mouthful of fresh blood. His body was like a kite with a broken line; he hit the dirt. When the others saw the situation, they immediately stopped advancing, turned around, and quickly retreated.

But the next moment, they found that the Buddha’s palm had dissipated, and the three had also disappeared in the sky.

“D*mn it, we were taken for a ride. The fat man dared not use all his strength—he reserved a little for his escape.” Several guards were furious.

They thought that Lord Zeng had resorted to killing tactics to put up a desperate fight with them. But they didn’t realize that the power of the Buddha’s palm wasn’t as powerful as they had imagined. Lord Zeng reserved some of his strength to perform an Escape Art, and he had vanished in the air with the rest. Even if they wanted to give chase, they no longer knew where to go!

“Humph, let’s report back to Young Master. No matter where they go, as long as they have the woman with them, Young Master will be able to find them!” A guard with an unpleasant expression grumbled. Then several people nodded and retreated straightaway.

On the street, the crowd was bewildered and was actively discussing what they had just witnessed. There was also the corpse of the innkeeper who was killed by Xu Que’s punch, but no one paid any attention to it!

…..

At the same time, in a forest on the eastern outskirts of Star Heir City, Lord Zeng was flying overhead with Lin Yuxi and Xu Que. He was shining with golden rays all over his body. He sped quickly until the golden rays faded, following which his speed dropped sharply and he had to land on the ground.

Psssh!

As soon as he landed on the ground, Lord Zeng turned pale and he spit out a mouthful of blood. He was weaker and more fragile than before. His cultivation in the Human Celestial Stage had regressed to his earlier Later Stage of the Half-Celestial Stage. Fortunately, he hadn’t used the real Buddha-Prison Sarira. Otherwise, the guards wouldn’t have been able to survive, and his cultivation would have dropped even more—perhaps even back to the Mahayana, the Great Vehicle Stage! However, the counterfeit Buddha-Prison Sarira was still extremely precious. Coupled with the regression of his Cultivation Stage, Lord Zeng had paid a huge price.

“How are you, Senior?” Lin Yuxi supported Xu Que and looked at Lord Zeng worriedly.

Lord Zeng waved his hand, “I’m all right. Those people can’t catch up with us anymore. But Demonic Beasts run rampant in this area. Let’s find a safe place to stop over for now!”

“I know of a place!” Lin Yuxi thought of a place, and she answered hurriedly.

When she came to Star Heir City with her Master, she went through the same forest and rested in an ancient cave. There had been no signs of Demonic Beasts. It was very safe.

“Good, you lead the way!” Lord Zeng nodded immediately.
