Chapter 38

Xiaobudian only felt the sky above his head suddenly darken, as the giant python's head loomed over him.

In the next moment, the darkness above his head suddenly brightened, so bright that it made people unable to open their eyes. It was the light emitted from the magical artifact in the python's mouth.

The powerful magical energy fluctuation spread out, terrifying to the extreme.

"Get out of the way!"

Xiao Yan suddenly rushed over from the side, colliding with Xiaobudian and pushing him away. Although Xiaobudian was out of the giant snake's attack range, Xiao Yan exposed himself to the snake's mouth, facing the terrifying Buddhist magical artifact.

Xiaobudian cried out, "Big Brother!"

The black-clothed youth's innate bravery was fully aroused. Facing the dazzling golden Buddhist light, he did not dodge but raised his hands.

Between his palms, a crimson light ball floated, filled with a destructive and intense aura.

"Let's see who finishes first!" Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, facing the Buddhist light that could turn him into powder with a single strike, and launched the Red Lotus Break first!

The red light ball transformed into a crimson light, flying into the giant python's wide-open mouth. At the same time, the magical artifact in the snake's mouth had accumulated its magical energy to the extreme, transforming into a brilliant Buddhist light, about to strike Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan's Red Lotus Break was a step faster, just a thousandth of a second ahead of the Buddhist light, exploding first in the snake's mouth.

But the invincible Buddhist light had already taken shape. Would it dissipate due to the explosion?

Xiao Yan and Xiaobudian did not know the answer, because a more tyrannical and violent white lightning light cut across the sky, faster than the Red Lotus Break, striking the giant snake's head!

The Northern Polar Magnetic Divine Light!

The tyrannical lightning light directly created a large hole in the golden python's head, piercing through the snake's head and striking the Buddhist magical artifact.

The magical artifact emitted a sound, and the Buddhist light that was originally prepared to attack Xiao Yan was forced to be used entirely for self-defense, leaving it powerless to attack.

At this moment, Xiao Yan's Red Lotus Break exploded in the snake's mouth, turning the already heavily injured giant python's head into a cloud of blood mist.

"Master!" Xiaobudian cheered, and Xiao Yan, now drenched in cold sweat, said, "Master, you almost killed me!"

Lin Feng gracefully landed beside them, his feather robe and star crown making him look even more elegant and transcendent amidst the devastated mountain forest after the battle.

Raising his hand, he caught the Buddhist magical artifact falling from the sky. Lin Feng turned to Xiao Yan with a smile, "I've always said that today might bring you a stroke of luck. It was just a bit scary, but no harm done."

Lin Feng, holding the Buddhist magical artifact, shook it and said, "Once I remove the restrictions set by the original owner, this thing will be yours."

Xiao Yan was overjoyed, "Haha, it's finally worth it."

Lin Feng smiled at him, "Xiao Yan, you did well. You have the makings of a big brother."

Xiaobudian then pounced and grabbed Xiao Yan's hand, "Yes, Big Brother, it's a good thing you were there just now..."

Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow and said in a very arrogant tone, "It's my duty."

But Xiaobudian continued, "... although I could have dodged it myself, I still want to thank you." This made Xiao Yan both angry and amused, feeling that this junior brother was even more arrogant than he was.

Xiaobudian then turned to Lin Feng and asked, "Master, Master, the magical artifact goes to Big Brother, what about me?"

Lin Feng pointed to the dead giant python, "Didn't you have your eye on it? It's all yours. How much you can take depends on your ability." He paused and continued, "Collect more snake blood and snake gallbladders. You're almost five years old, and these things are good materials for your baptism."

Xiaobudian cheered and rushed towards the giant snake. Although he was young, he was familiar with hunting and collecting these materials from his time in the village.

Hearing that Lin Feng was going to give Xiaobudian a baptism, Xiao Yan also went to help. The baptism at the age of five is very important for the physical constitution.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but be filled with anticipation, "My junior brother is already so talented. After the baptism, how terrifying will he be? Just thinking about it is exciting."

The two disciples were busy skinning and gutting the giant python, while Lin Feng's attention had already returned to Hui Ku and the others.

Perhaps sensing the death of the giant python and the loss of the magical artifact, Hui Ku's mind was in turmoil, almost unable to maintain the tyrannical Twenty-Four Heavenly Arhats Array.

Jiu Lao and the other two, facing a situation of certain death, had already despaired, but unexpectedly, Hui Ku himself had a problem. The three people in the array immediately sensed the change and renewed their hope.

All three knew that it was a matter of life and death, and they all unleashed their strongest abilities. They did not seek to defeat Hui Ku, only to break out of the Buddhist light array.

The three people fighting desperately, and Hui Ku not in his best state, actually allowed them to break out of the array.

Seeing that he was about to lose everything, Hui Ku was furious and barely concentrated, pushing the power of the Twenty-Four Heavenly Arhats Array to its limit.

The twenty-four arhat images gathered together, chanting the Buddhist mantra, and the light on their heads formed a pair of giant hands that covered the sky.

The two giant Buddhist palms descended from the sky, directly slamming the middle-aged man in white and the black-clothed swordsman to the ground.

But they missed Jiu Lao. The bald old man, at this moment, could not care about his companions, spitting a mouthful of essence blood onto his bone staff magical artifact.

The bone staff, as white as jade, became even more translucent, with a faint red light appearing, extending to over a hundred meters in length, and heavily striking the Buddhist light array, piercing through the light and carrying Jiu Lao out of the array's range.

Hui Ku was enraged, and the giant hand formed by the Buddhist light struck Jiu Lao. Jiu Lao barely held up the bone staff to defend, but was hit so hard that he spat blood, and his magical energy was almost completely dissipated.

Struck by this blow, Jiu Lao, along with his bone staff, was thrown out, flying over a mountain and landing in the forest several miles away.

Jiu Lao lay on the ground, spitting out another mouthful of blood, feeling that all his bones had turned to fragments and his internal organs had shifted positions.

"This monk is ruthless, actually refining the relics of his senior disciples into a magical artifact. No, I need to find more experts to subdue this monster." Jiu Lao struggled to get up from the ground, feeling somewhat relieved that among the three trapped, only he had successfully escaped.

However, at this thought, Jiu Lao suddenly felt his scalp tingle and his hair stand on end, as if some disaster was about to befall him.

He sensed something was wrong and tried to react, but it was too late.

Silently, Lin Feng appeared behind him, holding Jiu Lao's bone staff, now shrunk to its original length of about a foot, and used it like a hammer, striking Jiu Lao's back of the head with a "thud."

Jiu Lao let out a loud cry, his vision blurring. Although he was severely injured, his magical energy still surged, struggling to resist and not lose consciousness, and trying to turn around to see who it was.

But just as he turned his head, before he could see anyone, a white blur descended, and the bone staff struck his forehead again.

"Thud"

Jiu Lao's eyes rolled back, and he was completely knocked out, his last thought being, "This bone staff, how is it like my own bone hammer?"

Lin Feng weighed the bone hammer in his hand. The magical artifact had been severely damaged by the giant hand of Buddhist light and did not resist when he used it to attack its owner. The magical energy fluctuations in the artifact were very weak, indicating it would need a long time to recover.

However, it was quite handy as a hammer, with the right length, thickness, and weight.

Just as he was thinking, Lin Feng suddenly noticed that his two disciples were staring at him in a daze, their eyes moving between his face and the bone hammer in his hand.

Lin Feng remained calm, coughed, and said, "Did you see clearly? Aim for the Baihui acupoint on the top of the head, and strike one inch forward or backward. This can make someone quickly lose consciousness."

"Did you learn it?"

Xiaobudian nodded dumbly, while Xiao Yan's mouth twitched, "Master, this... isn't this just a sneak attack?"

"Wrong, I am showing you the correct method to capture an enemy alive," Lin Feng said seriously. "If you didn't pay attention, I can demonstrate again."

Saying this, Lin Feng released a thread of lightning-based magical energy to stimulate Jiu Lao's acupoints, waking him up.

The bald old man woke up, mumbling, "What happened? It feels like someone ambushed me..." Before he could figure out his surroundings, Jiu Lao's hair stood on end, and his scalp tingled, the familiar feeling returning.

"Thud"

He felt a piercing pain in the back of his head, his vision darkening, and the same feeling as before, another sneak attack!

"Again?!" Jiu Lao endured the pain, forcing his eyes open to stay conscious, and struggled to turn his head. This time, he was determined to see who was repeatedly ambushing him.

All he saw was a white blur, and he couldn't help but curse, "It really is my bone hammer..." But before he could see more, another hammer came down, striking his forehead again.

"Ugh..." Jiu Lao's eyes rolled back, filled with overwhelming anger and endless regret, as he lost consciousness again.

Lin Feng turned his head calmly and asked, "Did you see clearly this time?"

Xiao Yan was speechless, while Xiaobudian clapped and laughed, "I saw clearly, Master, can I try?"

Lin Feng smiled and handed the bone hammer to Xiaobudian, "You can try, but be careful not to kill him. I still have things to ask him."

Xiao Yan watched Xiaobudian, excited, approach Jiu Lao, who had been knocked out multiple times, and couldn't help but shake his head and look away.

What was about to happen was simply too much to bear watching.
