Chapter 57

"Clear and pure, the Bodhi is free, as I have heard, as I have seen..." A resounding chant of Buddhist mantras echoed from within Lu Shaoyou's body. Behind him, a faint golden Buddha figure emerged once again. Although the figure was still blurry, everyone present could sense a hint of solemnity, majesty, and compassion from it. The great Buddha took a step forward, and a golden lotus shadow bloomed beneath his feet, firmly supporting the Buddha.

"Lu Shaoyou, I didn't expect you to know so many cultivation techniques! You even know the techniques of the Buddhist monks, but..." Yan Hongchen's seductive eyes flashed with a hint of ferocity and greed, "I, the Young Master, will take all these techniques! Do you think a mere Buddha figure can stop me?"

Yan Hongchen let out a long howl, and the pinkish gas around his body churned incessantly, emitting a decaying aura.

"Come and taste the Heavenly Demon Dance of the Young Master!" With Yan Hongchen's howl, a group of young women, completely naked, appeared before Lu Shaoyou. Their breasts swayed, and their魅影升仙, countless complex thoughts rose in Lu Shaoyou's mind, his desire for the flesh grew heavy, and his breathing became extremely erratic.

The great Buddha suddenly roared in the air, his body radiating with Buddha light. He sat cross-legged in the air, and behind him, a Buddhist realm appeared, filled with countless bodhisattvas, arhats, vajras, and bhikkhus chanting the Buddha's name devoutly. Golden lotus shadows descended from the sky, illuminating the entire forest like daylight. The pinkish gas was dispelled like melting snow by the chanting. Lu Shaoyou felt control over his body return to him, realizing that the Heavenly Demon Dance had indirectly controlled his body, making him take it seriously.

On the other side, the battle was equally fierce. Lu Shaoyou's body moved like a monkey, dodging the dense river of sword qi, and at the same time, he would fiercely punch whenever there was a gap. Golden qi and blood spread, and the terrifying punch force and massive sword qi raged wildly. The air was filled with a more intense and fierce atmosphere, and Lu Shaoyou's combat experience was constantly improving. He even felt his cultivation steadily rising, and the door to the next level seemed to be on the verge of breaking. If he could escape from this battle, he would definitely break through!

"Lu kid! Be careful! Quickly dodge!" The voice of the divine pig echoed in Lu Shaoyou's mind.

Just as Lu Shaoyou was slightly distracted, a crescent moon-like sword light appeared in his line of sight, piercing through the darkness like a ghost, and descending like a massive river of sword qi, overwhelming and unstoppable!

Buzzing sounds of dense sword light filled Lu Shaoyou's mind, and he felt the hairs on his neck stand up, watching the sword light approach helplessly.

Pfft— The massive sword light seemed to carry an endless and timeless momentum, and each sword light fiercely slashed at Lu Shaoyou's body, sending him flying dozens of feet away. Lu Shaoyou spat out a mouthful of blood, falling headfirst. The Buddha figure behind him also dimmed, while Yan Hongchen unleashed his power, his red dust sword dancing, and he exhaled a long breath, the sword tracing a mysterious path, like a hanging antelope's horn, a sword technique that left no trace.

The boundless Buddhist realm around the Buddha was split by this sword, and the arhats and bhikkhus inside were scattered.

Lu Shaoyou spat out another mouthful of blood, feeling intense pain in his chest. He looked down and saw a huge gash on his body, blood gushing out.

What was that sword technique just now? Why did I feel it was unstoppable? In the sword light, I sensed a terrifying momentum of endless time and the withering of the sea. As Lu Shaoyou pondered, the sword light reappeared, and he felt a sense of impending death, as if his spirit was being drawn into the sword light.

It's over! Lu Shaoyou cried out in his heart! At this moment, the mysterious stone tablet in his dantian suddenly hummed, and Lu Shaoyou's body trembled, breaking free from the terrifying momentum. As the sword light approached, Lu Shaoyou, who had already dealt with this sword light before, immediately used the Heavenly Son Divine Fist, a regal aura rising, and he punched away the sword qi.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! — Lu Shaoyou blocked the terrifying sword qi, straightened his body, and began to counterattack. However, the Absolute Blade was even faster, and before Lu Shaoyou could make a move, a chilling sword qi and a terrifying killing intent enveloped him, covering him in sword qi. Lu Shaoyou's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he leaped up, extending his right hand and lightly pointing!

The Pointing Blue Finger! One point, and the Blue Mountain is pointed! At this moment, Lu Shaoyou felt as if he had become a great hero, discussing swords over wine, laughing about the world, and with one point, he felt the scholar's spirit, pointing at the mountains and rivers, and commanding the world!

This Pointing Blue Finger was a technique Lu Shaoyou found in the library, which he did not use in the battle with Wang Chong because he had only barely mastered 40% of it. Now, after so many days of training, Lu Shaoyou had mastered 80% of it, and it was just right to use it. Moreover, if he did not use all his skills, he might not be able to deal with these two.

With this point, the Absolute Blade was greatly surprised, as the river of sword qi was easily broken by Lu Shaoyou's single point!

"Impossible! This is impossible!" The Absolute Blade roared madly, "My Despair River of Blades was actually broken! How can this be!"

On the other side, Yan Hongchen had already put away his sword, breaking the Buddha figure with a punch, and stepping out of the shattered boundless Buddhist realm. He saw Lu Shaoyou break the river of blades with a single point and was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter: "Well, ha ha, Absolute Blade, I didn't expect your ultimate technique to be broken by a mere tenth-level Qi Practitioner! Ha ha, this is hilarious! —"

The Absolute Blade's face was dark, and he let out a growl like a beast. Yan Hongchen laughed lightly, "So you're already done? You're too weak!"

Lu Shaoyou, however, was on high alert. His Mingwang figure and the boundless Buddhist realm had just been shattered by this man who looked like a cross-dresser. He frantically used the Kunpeng Absorption Technique, and the elemental energy in the world surged toward him, slightly restoring his energy, and his face looked a bit better.

At this moment, Lu Shaoyou felt his blood boil, and a fighting spirit surged through his body, illuminating the nine heavens. He was ready to fight, to fight to the extreme! Lu Shaoyou had abandoned all distractions and was living for the battle. Seeing that the two men had not made a move, he took the initiative, using the Eight Steps to Heaven! The first step! One step, and the eight directions are subdued! This was the first step of the Eight Steps to Heaven, and as he took this step, Yan Hongchen's brows furrowed, surprised by Lu Shaoyou's astonishing willpower. The Absolute Blade, however, remained expressionless, but the anger in his eyes could burn down a forest. He slowly took out a long sword from his storage ring, caressing it tenderly as if it were his lover's face, and whispered to the sword, "I didn't expect you to have to come out, old friend. Let's work together and drink the enemy's blood! I think you can't hold back anymore!"

The long sword in his hand trembled slightly, humming as if responding to the Absolute Blade, conveying a sense of joy.

Seeing the Absolute Blade take out the long sword, Yan Hongchen's face turned serious, and he laughed softly, "Finally going to use your real skills?"

Lu Shaoyou narrowed his eyes, looking at the long sword in the Absolute Blade's hand. The sword was bright silver, like mercury, and the cold light it emitted was even colder than mercury. Just holding it, Lu Shaoyou, who was hundreds of meters away, felt a cold killing intent. The divine pig called out, "A middle-grade treasure! Ha ha, it's actually a middle-grade treasure! Kid, grab it quickly!"

The Absolute Blade's face was cold as he said to Yan Hongchen, "What, do you want to profit from our fight? Why don't you make a move?" His words carried a cold, knife-like killing intent.

Yan Hongchen laughed lightly, waved his hands, and put on a set of magical robes, radiating with treasure light. He said coldly, "This is my business, and it's not your place to meddle. Otherwise, I don't mind killing you both!"

The Absolute Blade's face became even colder, almost freezing.

Hearing this, Lu Shaoyou, though eager for a fight, was not foolish. He immediately had an idea and shouted to the Absolute Blade, "Absolute Blade, why don't we team up and take this guy out first, and then have a decisive battle? Facing Lu Shaoyou's words, the Absolute Blade remained silent.

"Hmph, think about it. If you fight me to the death, won't the others just take what you've fought for? Can you really hold your breath?" Seeing that the Absolute Blade said nothing, Lu Shaoyou's mind raced, and he continued to stir the pot, "Think about it, you're working for others! If we team up, it's different. Our enemy is the same, and once we kill him, we can still have a decisive battle!"

The Absolute Blade's eyes flashed with a hint of interest, seemingly moved. On the other side, Yan Hongchen's face changed, and the pinkish gas around him became even more intense.

The Absolute Blade slowly picked up the long sword, and the killing intent around him intensified. He seemed to think that Lu Shaoyou's words made sense, and his eyes, like those of a venomous snake, stared intently at Yan Hongchen. Yes! Here, Yan Hongchen has the highest cultivation, and he is the most dangerous! If I fight to the death with Lu Shaoyou, Yan Hongchen can sit back and profit, and when the time comes, he can easily kill me! Thinking about Yan Hongchen's behavior, he felt that Lu Shaoyou's words were even more fitting! Moreover, he could also take advantage of the situation, letting Lu Shaoyou go to his death, and he could sit back and profit!

Finally, he nodded and said to Lu Shaoyou in a sinister voice, "Alright, let's team up and take out Yan Hongchen first, and then we'll have a decisive battle!"
