Free Web NovelChapter 688: Chapter 687: So What If You Set Up the Sword Array? Am I Supposed to Be Afraid?
The Great Ming King Peacock heard this and revealed a faint smile, saying, "The return of the two saints is truly a blessing for the West."
"With the assistance of you two, the Buddha Country will surely become even more glorious!"
She seemed to be praising the two of them.
But in fact, she was asserting her sovereignty.
The mere mention of "assistance" was already implying to Zhunti and Jieyin that today’s Buddha Country was no longer the Western Sect of the past.
They were no longer the masters of the Buddhist Sect.
Deep in the eyes of Zhunti and Jieyin, a hint of cold intent flashed.
They had weathered the vicissitudes of life and were not simple-minded, naturally understanding the deeper implications in her words, which made them even more displeased.
One must know in the past.
Even when the other party was still led by Kong Xuan, and even when she had the reputation of being the strongest below a saint, she was merely someone at their beck and call.
Unexpectedly, now.
The other party actually wants to surpass them?
Such a huge gap is hard to accept.
Jieyin wanted to rebuke at the moment, but Zhunti stopped it with a glance.
Then, Zhunti said, "To let the Buddhist Sect flourish, my fellow Daoist Jieyin and I feel supreme honor."
"Just now, however, the Buddha Country is facing a formidable opponent."
"If this person is not eliminated, the path of the Buddha Country will likely be bumpy."
His icy gaze fixed on Lin Heng.
The Great Ming King Peacock, upon hearing this, also turned her gaze to Lin Heng and said calmly, "Saint Zhunti need not worry, I will take care of him."
With that, she turned to Lin Heng and said, "The death of the Golden-winged Roc of yesterday should be resolved now."
"Let’s go, to another place for a battle."
The Great Ming King Peacock said calmly, with immense confidence and poise; the power she attained after establishing the Dao made her truly understand the gap between a Quasi-Saint and a Saint.
No matter how wary she once was of this person before her.
Now, she would no longer feel the slightest fear.
"Very well."
Lin Heng smiled faintly and looked at Zhunti and Jieyin: "Gentlemen, shall we go together?"
Before Zhunti and Jieyin could speak, the Great Ming King Peacock had already smirked dismissively.
"Do you know what you’re saying?" she looked contemptuously at Lin Heng.
"Oh, indeed," Lin Heng said, "Facing three is certainly challenging, I must bring the Four Immortal Slaying Swords."
He gestured behind him.
The Four Immortal Slaying Swords that hovered around Yang Jian immediately flew over, hovering like spirits around him.
The Great Ming King Peacock felt slighted, her eyes flickering with displeasure, she reprimanded, "You’re seeking death!" freewebnøvel.coɱ
Lin Heng chuckled, "Let’s talk after the battle."
Upon hearing this, the Great Ming King Peacock said no more, her eyes scanning the vast river of time and space before her, after examining the numerous waves above, she stepped onto one and then disappeared.
Lin Heng looked at Zhunti and Jieyin, who also did not hesitate and stepped into the waves.
For beings such as them, they wouldn’t engage in open conflict in the Grand Thousand Upper Realm unless necessary.
A Saint-level battle could destroy heaven and earth; even a stray wave of energy could reduce countless living beings to ashes.
No one wants to bear such karmic consequences unnecessarily!
"I will go with you!"
Seeing the three from the West entering the river of time and space, Yang Jian decisively spoke to Lin Heng, wanting to fight alongside him.
Lin Heng glanced at his injuries, shook his head, and said, "No need, you better stay secure in the Celestial Court, someone needs to keep watch here."
Yang Jian frowned slightly, "Can you do it?"
Admittedly, when Lin Heng first appeared, he displayed the overwhelming pressure of a current-day Saint, but now he is about to face actual contemporary Saints, along with the ancient powerful Zhunti and Jieyin.
Facing three alone, Yang Jian could not help but worry.
"Don’t worry, I know my limits, I will be back soon."
Lin Heng said, then as if recalling something, he looked down at the Celestial Court.
At that time, the people of the Celestial Court were also looking up to him in admiration.
Among the figures, Lin Heng saw Ox Demon King and Red Boy and said, "Princess Iron Fan has returned, now your family can reunite in peace."
While speaking, he opened a spatial passage.
A group of Red-bottomed Macaque and others emerged from it.
When the figures of Black Rakshasa and Princess Iron Fan appeared, the Ox Demon King and Red Boy immediately trembled.
Lin Heng said no more, he nodded towards the crowd, then stepped into the time and space waves without hesitation.
"This..."
Yang Jian reached out, wanting to speak but hesitated, with some worry on his face.
The Red-bottomed Macaque approached him with a smile and said, "Don’t worry, this Taixu Celestial Venerable is far more terrifying than you can imagine."
"While the Great Ming King Peacock has achieved the Dao, she is not someone who can be compared to him."
Hearing this, Yang Jian couldn’t help but feel shaken, and he asked with a serious expression, "What happened in Qingqiu? Has he received some great opportunity?"
The Red-bottomed Macaque said, "It’s a long story, let me take my time to explain to you!"
...
...
On the other side.
Zhunti and his group had already entered a desolate time and space.
This place was a realm of chaos, a naturally born battleground for saints.
Most Saint-level battles in ancient history, as well as the prior conflict between Heaven-Reaching Sect Leader and Luminous, were all chosen to take place in such places.
Only here could they unleash their divine techniques without restraint.
"Saint... Saint Peacock, when he arrives, make sure he doesn’t set up the Immortal Slaying Sword Array."
"Once he’s in, strike directly to kill."
Zhunti reminded with a serious tone.
Great Ming King Peacock was somewhat displeased, "And so what if he sets up the sword array? Am I supposed to be afraid of him?"
"Don’t forget, I have proof of the Dao!"
She reiterated coldly, always feeling that these two old guys still regarded her as before.
Jieyin, upon hearing her tone, also showed displeasure, it was Zhunti who calmed the atmosphere:
"Of course not, but as the saying goes, ’A lion uses its full strength even against a rabbit.’ Why waste our time here with him? Don’t you agree?"
The Great Ming King Peacock, hearing this, finally said calmly, "Alright, I will give it my all."
As soon as she finished speaking.
Ripples appeared in the Celestial Domain, a figure tore open the void, entering this realm.
Jieyin reacted the fastest, immediately urging the Twelve Grade Lotus Platform to emanate endless Miao Guang, launching it toward the target with a chilling intention, like ten thousand arrows unleashed.
Lin Heng, having just stepped into this realm, faced the sudden killing intent without panicking, merely sweeping it away with the Immortal Slaying Sword.
The sword Qi opened the heavens and the earth, slashing down the endless Miao Guang that came at him.
The Great Ming King Peacock let out a cold laugh, unclear whether it was at Jieyin or at her disdain for Lin Heng.
She shook her body at once, grew rapidly, covering the sky and the sun as she vibrated her feathers, unleashing the Five-Colored Divine Light obtained after achieving the Dao.
The Five-Colored Divine Light poured down like a galaxy, bearing the divine power to erase all things in the world, sweeping towards Lin Heng.
The Immortal Slaying Sword in Lin Heng’s hand was instantly swept away by this supernatural ability.
"Is that all?"
The Great Ming King Peacock sneered.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, streaming light came shooting forward, Lin Heng’s entire aura surged like a volcanic eruption, breaking through the Five-Colored Divine Light, slapping directly at her.
With a booming sound!
The sky-covering Great Ming King Peacock was slapped back several steps by that Dharma Aspect-level slap, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.
