Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Sure enough, after hearing how serious the matter was, Xiaoqing finally took it seriously. Yes! It didn't matter if she died, but if she caused Sister Bai and Aheng to be killed by people from the Buddhist sect, then she would truly deserve to die.

Over the decades, Xiaoqing had come to regard Feng Heng as her own sister, and although she had only spent a short time with Bai Suzhen, their relationship was also very good.

Xiaoqing nodded and replied, "Yes! I know I was wrong, and I will never leave so easily again."

As she spoke, glistening tears welled in her eyes, and this time her tone was more sincere, much better than before.

Seeing Xiaoqing being scolded, Bai Suzhen advised, "My lord, Xiaoqing knows she was wrong, so please don't blame her anymore!"

After saying that, she pleaded with Xiaoqing, and Feng Heng, of course, would not remain unmoved at this time, nodding in agreement: "Yes! Brother Wutian, please don't blame Sister Qing anymore."

As she spoke, she also pleaded with Li Xiuyuan for mercy.

After both of them spoke, Li Xiuyuan nodded solemnly and replied, "Yes. I hope today's events will serve as a warning to you."

As he spoke, he forgave Xiaoqing.

Li Xiuyuan had no intention of severely punishing Xiaoqing in the first place, and Bai Suzhen and Feng Heng's pleas for mercy gave him a way out, so he readily agreed.

When Xiaoqing saw that Li Xiuyuan did not punish her, she stopped crying and started laughing. She became even more vigilant about the matter and dared not leave recklessly again.

Li Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and then said, "Qing'er, you just said you encountered a monster. I wonder what kind of monster it was?"

As he spoke, he began to inquire, and he was also a little curious. He knew that when he settled down in Anjia, he had already surveyed the area within a hundred miles and found no powerful monsters.

Xiaoqing nodded upon hearing this and replied, "Yes! That's right. After Ah Heng and I left this mountain range, we accidentally encountered a centipede demon. I managed to kill it, and even its inner core is in my hands."

As she spoke, she took out the inner core, which was dark red, like congealed blood, and had an eerie smell.

what!

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan was surprised. Centipede demon—hearing these three words, he couldn't help but think of the monster in the original novel, "The Legend of the White Snake."

This demon isn't anything special, but the key is that it has a very powerful father. The centipede demon's father is named Golden Cymbal King, and he is extremely powerful. Even when Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing joined forces, he could hold them off for a while, which shows how powerful he is.

Li Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Take me to the place where the centipede demon died. That guy had a powerful stepfather."

As he spoke, he urged Xiaoqing to hurry up and take him there!

I remember in the original novel, it was Xiaoqing who killed the son of the Golden Cymbal Dharma King. Is it just a plot twist, or has it come full circle again?

Xiaoqing nodded upon hearing this and replied, "Mm!"

However, she wasn't particularly wary, after all, this centipede demon was utterly weak, unable even to defeat herself, so how powerful could her cheap father be?

The four people flew out of the mountains and arrived a hundred miles away. They saw that after the battle last night, the field was in a mess, and all the trees within a radius of several miles had been moved to the ground.

A foul stench emanated from the open space; it was the smell emanating from the corpse of the centipede demon.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan frowned. He waved his hand, and the Heavenly Demon True Array swept over, instantly burning the centipede demon's corpse to ashes.

Ok?

A golden light flashed in the air and arrived in an instant. He was holding a pair of kind golden cymbals, wearing a Dharma crown, dressed in bright red, and draped in a blue cloak. He looked to be around forty or fifty years old, with a full beard and an extremely unconventional appearance.

He truly lived up to his name, shouting, "Waaah! You dare kill my child and destroy his body! I, the Dharma King, will never let you go!"

As he spoke, he stood in front of Li Xiuyuan and the other three, a fierce glint in his eyes.

Upon seeing the Golden Cymbal Dharma King, Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Hmph, what right does a mere centipede demon have to call himself the King?"

As he spoke, he harbored resentment. Among the White Snakes, the most powerful was naturally Fahai. Even he was no match for Li Xiuyuan, let alone this centipede demon.

How could Li Xiuyuan be afraid!

A series of loud clattering cymbals echoed through the mountains.

Li Xiuyuan felt a buzzing in his head and his heart clench, but he quickly adjusted. However, Feng Heng next to him cried out in pain.

Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, on the other hand, got along much better and there wasn't much of a problem.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan shouted, "Damn it, you fiend, die!"

As he spoke, he swung the Divine Demon Sword, and a sword aura dozens of feet long swept over, slashing down towards the Golden Bowl Dharma King.

boom!

A golden light appeared, and the Golden Cymbal Dharma King used the two golden bowls in his hands to block the sword energy that was dozens of feet long.

A dull, metallic sound rang out, and Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up. He thought to himself, "As expected of the thousand-year-old centipede, this guy does have some skill."

Seeing that Li Xiuyuan was not afraid of his noise, the Golden Cymbal Dharma King became even more furious. He waved his hands, and the golden cymbals in his hands grew ten times larger, enveloping Li Xiuyuan in them.

Chapter 181 The Last Battle

The golden cymbal transformed into a golden wheel, spinning like a flying saucer as it flew towards Li Xiuyuan, Xiaoqing, and the others.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan exclaimed in surprise, "You can actually play like this?"

The golden bowl looked like two fiery wheels, spinning rapidly.

He saw the golden bowl fly over, and with his long sword he slashed twice. He heard a buzzing sound, and the golden bowl flew away again.

The golden wheel touched the nearby mountain rocks and was shattered like foam, leaving a deep mark before rising into the sky again, buzzing in the air.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, "Indeed extraordinary. No wonder he can dominate the Phoenix Mountain, which stretches for eight hundred miles."

The golden wheel flew over again, growing nearly a hundred times larger. It suddenly opened, revealing the Golden Cymbal Dharma King within, who resembled a giant clam. He laughed loudly, "Today I will avenge my son!"

After saying this, he closed the cymbals once more.

Upon seeing the golden bowl and its similar supernatural powers, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but think of the golden bowl of the Yellow-Eyebrowed Patriarch in Journey to the West.

The Yellow-Eyebrowed Ancestor was the attendant of the Laughing Monk Maitreya Buddha, who struck the chime. He wielded a short, soft wolf-tooth club that had been transformed from a chime mallet.

While the Buddha was away, he stole two treasures, a golden cymbal and a human seed bag, and descended to the mortal realm to become a spirit.

This monster was audacious and reckless. It pretended that Leiyin Temple had tricked Tang Sanzang and his disciples, and trapped Sun Wukong inside a golden cymbal. It then used its Human Seed Bag to capture Sun Wukong and the heavenly soldiers and generals several times.

The current situation is quite similar, but unfortunately the golden bowl is a fake, and even if it were real, it would be difficult to trap Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan watched as the solidified, still golden spiritual power on the cymbals began to flow.

This golden spiritual power was condensed by the Golden Cymbal Dharma King over thousands of years in metal deep underground, thus forming the golden bowl, which is also his natal magic weapon.

The golden spiritual power on the cymbals is different from the golden spiritual power in nature. After thousands of years of cultivation by the Golden Cymbal Dharma King, it has been condensed into one and become incomparably solid.

dong dong!

Xiaoqing, wielding a long sword, slashed wildly at the golden bowl twice, but despite the buzzing sound, she couldn't break through it.

Xiaoqing looked dejected and said, "Damn it, this golden bowl is incredibly sturdy. We're probably going to be trapped here. It's all my fault for insisting on leaving, which led us to get involved with that centipede demon."

As she spoke, she deeply blamed herself, thinking that if it weren't for this, she wouldn't have caused three people to suffer along with her.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up, and he chuckled, "Don't worry, with me here, there's nothing to worry about. It's just a golden bowl; I can break it open."

As he spoke, his body swelled up dramatically. His originally small body suddenly became much larger, and at the same time, the golden bowl also grew larger.

"Buzz!"

Li Xiuyuan clenched his right fist and swung it repeatedly at the golden bowl, sending forth punches as heavy as ten thousand pounds.

"what!"

"My head is so dizzy!"

"My lord, please stop hitting him."

Seeing the pale faces of the group, Li Xiuyuan immediately shrunk his size and stopped. Looking at the fist-shaped depression above his head, he realized that if he were alone, he could break it in no time.

With several women present, he feared he might knock them unconscious before he could even smash it. And what would happen to Feng Heng, whose cultivation level was the lowest?

Therefore, forcibly smashing the golden bowl with brute force is not advisable.

At this moment, the women finally felt a little better. Bai Suzhen said, "My lord, we can't keep hitting her, otherwise Sister Heng won't be able to take it."

As she spoke, she looked at Feng Heng with a worried expression, her face turning extremely pale.

Li Xiuyuan nodded upon hearing this and replied, "Yes! It seems that's the only way."

As he spoke, he summoned the World-Destroying Black Lotus from his lower dantian. The twelve-petaled lotus platform emitted a dark, eerie light, making it clear to anyone who looked at it that it was extraordinary.

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "Go!"

After he finished speaking, the Twelve-Petaled World-Destroying Black Lotus spun continuously and crashed into the golden bowl in an instant. At the same time, the Golden Cymbal Dharma King outside sensed something was wrong.

"not good!"

Before the Golden Cymbal Dharma King could react, his golden bowl had already been knocked away and shattered into pieces in an instant. In the end, this was just an acquired spiritual treasure. Even Fahai's golden bowl would shatter at the slightest touch, let alone the Golden Cymbal Dharma King's.

'puff! '

The Golden Cymbal Dharma King spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying. Li Xiuyuan looked at his chaotic aura, realizing he had become completely powerless, and said indifferently, "Die!"

As he spoke, the world-destroying black lotus above his head spun continuously and pressed down in an instant. The Golden Cymbal Dharma King tried to dodge, but no matter how he retreated, he was still closely followed by the world-destroying black lotus.

Rumble!

With a series of sounds, the Golden Cymbal Dharma King was reduced to ashes. Li Xiuyuan glanced at it indifferently, then put away the broken pieces of his golden bowl. After all, it was a treasure that the other party had nurtured for thousands of years and possessed some considerable power.

Li Xiuyuan planned to reforge it before giving it to Xiaoqing. As for Feng Heng, her talent was too low and her cultivation was too weak, so there was no need for her to have such a good thing.

Bai Suzhen possesses the Taiyi Sword and considerable supernatural powers, so she doesn't need the pair of golden bowls.

Li Xiuyuan glanced around indifferently and pondered, "Hmm! Clean up the fight here, and try not to leave any traces."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, leveling the chaotic area around him to the ground and eliminating the sword energy.
