Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 87 High Priest, you win!

Six eyes with a solemn expression
The fleshy fascia on the top of its head bulged out, raising six blood-red pupils that spread out in all directions.

The blood-red pupils emanated a bloody aura, intertwining and connecting with each other, forming a blood-red lotus platform in a short time.

With his right hand supporting his staff, he thrust it into the empty space beside him, and the staff mysteriously hovered in the air.

With his hands clasped together, Liu Mu chanted a Buddhist mantra. His entire body was filled with blood and energy, and it was as if a blood-red sun was rising on the riverbank. On the blood-red lotus platform formed by his blood-red pupils, a Buddha suddenly sat upright!

Unlike the one I saw in the meditation room of the Blood Buddha Temple, this Buddha's face is extremely similar to that of a six-eyed being!
The moment the seated Buddha appeared, his pupils suddenly opened and closed, shooting out two beams of red light.

The void in front of Liu Mu solidified again. The crescent-shaped sword light, as if trapped in quagmire, slowed down drastically until it stopped in front of Liu Mu. It was then slowly dissipated by the surge of blood energy.

Li Wushou felt a sudden tightness in his heart, as the Blood Buddha above the Six Eyes had unknowingly fixed its gaze on him.

This feeling is familiar. Some powerful and influential deities, such as the Eternal Mother and the Tree Goddess, felt the same way when their gazes fell upon Li Wushou.

Through Wu Zhuangyuan's account, Li Wushou attributed this power to the power of the soul!

But isn't this power of the soul something that only cultivators at the Golden Core stage can cultivate and transform? Is the Six-Eyed Monk a Golden Core cultivator?
Li Wushou was somewhat skeptical because he did not see the golden lotuses that Wu Zhuangyuan had described.

Moreover, the Blood Buddha Scripture practiced by the other party seemed to be very different from the Blood Buddha Scripture that Li Wushou had read; the other party's Blood Buddha Scripture seemed to have been simplified.

It devoured blood and qi, transforming from five senses and five dragons into a single sense.

Although this official is divided into six branches due to the large number of blood-red pupils in his six eyes, the meridians within his body are still one, meaning that there is only one blood-yang energy in his body, which forms a fire dragon.

Despite this, the opponent was able to generate a Blood Buddha that resembled a divine soul!
For a moment, Li Wushou was also a little confused. In terms of quality, he felt that the Blood Buddha Scripture he had obtained was of higher quality, but he didn't know why the Six Eyes had more methods.
Am I incomplete?
"Huh? You're actually alright?"

While Li Wushou was still on guard, the six eyes in front of him spoke up in surprise.

The reason is that when his Blood Buddha Eye shines into the bodies of others, even those who are cultivators of the same realm, they will feel their flesh and blood stirring, requiring them to circulate spiritual power to suppress it.

At this point, as long as he coordinates with his Blood Buddha Domain, he can naturally gain the upper hand.

Even worse, due to the gaze of the Blood Buddha's Eye, flesh and blood spirit eyes will grow all over its body, draining all its essence and blood before returning to the Buddha's body and being devoured by itself!

But after staring at Li Wushou for a moment, the other party didn't react at all except for slightly frowning.

"what's up?"

Li Wushou was also somewhat puzzled, but he felt nothing at all. He focused his mind on his body, and the Five Dragons Flowing Fire, resembling a blue dragon, enveloped him, but he indeed found no strange techniques!
What's wrong with these six eyes? Are they trying to trick me?

Li Wushou, wielding his magic sword, mobilized the extreme Yin power in his lower dantian, causing a thin layer of ice to condense on the river beneath him.

With a flash, Li Wushou disappeared from his spot. What good is divine soul power? Don't be alarmed, just cut him down first!
Liu Mu's expression hardened, and he clasped his hands together. The Blood Buddha above his head did the same, and both of them spoke at the same time, chanting a Buddhist mantra.

The Buddha's name is spoken in two parts, but when the chant ends, they overlap.

Then the Blood Buddha above spoke softly, with the unique hum of a divine soul: "Blood Buddha Domain!"

Large swaths of crimson seeped from the Blood Buddha's body, staining the entire void like blood-red Buddha light reflected on the riverbank and the horizon.

A crimson domain of magic suddenly descended, accompanied by chanting.

Li Wushou's figure slowly emerged in the crimson domain, constantly adjusting his steps, but he could hardly make any progress.

Sometimes he takes a step forward but is actually moving backward, and sometimes he moves backward but is actually moving forward. This irregularity is constantly changing and causing discomfort to his five senses.
At the same time, mutated monsters of flesh and blood would occasionally pounce out from within the domain. These monsters existed between reality and illusion, seemingly endless.

Fortunately, Li Wushou's Yin energy was extremely pure, and the monster would often shatter upon contact with it, thus the two were locked in a stalemate.

From the moment the two entered the void on the riverbank to the outbreak of the conflict, the time was extremely short, but the commotion was enormous. The people of Zhengcheng on the opposite bank had already crowded the riverbank to watch the spectacle.

Because they were far away, no one could see clearly who was fighting, but one of them must have been the head monk of the Blood Buddha Temple. The scarlet Buddha light and the echoing chants made it easy to identify.

Liu Mu stared at Li Wushou, who was locked in a stalemate with his sword, and sneered inwardly. Although he had not yet formed a Golden Core, he had already cultivated a Divine Soul and, with the help of the Blood Buddha's secret techniques, had prematurely mastered the Golden Core Domain. Within his domain, Li Wushou not only found it difficult to locate him, but also found it impossible to move an inch. Although Li Wushou could still hold his ground at this moment, how much spiritual energy had he expended?
Is his spiritual power as vast as mine?

Liu Mu was disdainful, but he didn't want to push Li Wushou into a corner. If he really angered the City God, wouldn't he end up taking the blame for Zhu Sihai?
Zhu Sihai was ambitious and acted furtively. Even though the other party repeatedly claimed that he had already used methods against the City God, Liu Mu was no greenhorn.

If you want to scheme against the City God, go ahead and do it yourself. Six Eyes is happy to provide some supplies and assistance; if you win, he'll cheer for you; if you lose, you can pray to the City God. It has nothing to do with my Blood Buddha Temple!

But today, even if he doesn't kill Li Wushou, Liu Mu intends to teach him a profound lesson.

While Liu Mu's mind raced, Li Wushou focused his attention, locking onto Liu Mu's position, wondering whether he should just deliver a sword strike.
However, this would mean that he could no longer hide the fact that he could ignore the distortion of space by the Demon God's Domain.

After finally managing to clear myself of the matter regarding the Goddess of Cutting Down Trees and splitting branches, I've shifted the blame onto the City God's magic sword. It seems a bit pointless to draw everyone's attention to this matter!

Li Wushou didn't want to use too many methods. Although he hadn't found Yun Que's whereabouts yet, today's commotion couldn't be hidden from Zhu Sihai.

The City God Temple is facing numerous crises; having more trump cards could mean having more opportunities to turn things around.

Suddenly, Li Wushou's expression changed, and a yellow earthen cart on the opposite bank of the river transformed into a streak of light and sped towards them.

"Look, it's the carriage of the City God Temple!"

"Huh? Where is the City God Temple's carriage going at this hour?"

"Hiss~! Could the one fighting the head monk of Blood Buddha Temple be a priest from the City God Temple?"

The onlookers in Zhengcheng were abuzz with discussion. When they saw the divine carriage speeding along and finally stopping outside the crimson domain, all their speculations were finally confirmed!
"Wow~!"

"It really is a battle of magic between the City God Temple and the Blood Buddha Temple!"

The twenty-four minor priests stepped out of the priest carriage. Because they had refined the Yin-Yang Seed, they all activated their Yin power, and the carriage did not explode as it had last time!
The crowd looked solemn, and divided into two teams, led by Lin You and Fu Feng.

The crowd moved in unison, aligning themselves with the constellations and arranging themselves in the four directions. Suddenly, the sky darkened, as if starlight were falling, obscuring the bright daylight. The twenty-four priests spoke in unison.

"Please, High Priest, lend us your strength to defend against the enemy!"

The sound was clear and resonant, echoing across both sides of the strait!
The clamor of the onlookers paused for a moment, then suddenly erupted into a clamor.

"It's the High Priest!"

"The one who's fighting the Blood Buddha Temple is the High Priest!"

"Kill those bald monks!"

"."

Six Eyes' expression was solemn; others might not understand, but he saw it clearly. Outside the crimson domain, Yin energy surged, and stellar power roared. How could these minor officials' alliance technique be so skillful and refined?
Li Wushou, however, laughed heartily within the Dharma Realm.

"Haha. Well done! All you priests, join forces with me to slay the Buddha! Power!"

With a thought, both teams simultaneously unleashed a large amount of Yin energy, which converged through the method of alliance, transforming into two pure forces that instantly pierced through the Dharma Domain and gathered on Li Wushou's body.

Li Wushou focused his mind and channeled his spiritual energy, causing two streams of energy to flow through the sword like spirals.

With a single swing of the sword, the violent spiritual energy, like a sudden downpour and a raging storm, directly dispersed the buzzing chants, along with the crimson blood-red domain.

Six Eyes' expression changed drastically, and the Blood Buddha above his head formed hand seals, about to transform again!

Suddenly, a faint light flashed overhead, and with a crisp 'crack', a crack appeared on the blood-red lotus platform above the six-eyed man's head, a corner of the lotus platform fell off, and the seated blood Buddha dissipated.

Despite the stinging pain between his brows, Liu Mu reached out and took the lotus platform, which turned out to be half of his blood-red pupil!
He stuffed the blood-red pupil into his mouth, and before he could even repair it, Liu Mu saw Li Wushou in front of him raise his magic sword high once again.

"High Priest, you've won!"
