Free Web NovelChapter 127: Chapter 91: Capturing Spirit Monsters in Succession
The Old Daoist shuddered. "So there really are Cultivators with Magical Power!"
"It’s that Young Master Xu!"
The beautiful woman’s husband exclaimed in surprise.
"It’s him!"
The beautiful woman was also in disbelief. "He’s actually a Monk!
And a truly powerful one at that!
Are there really immortals in this world who pursue Cultivation and Buddhist Cultivation?"
For an atheist, the shock of tonight’s events was intense.
"HISS!!"
Just then, the four of them saw the large Centipede’s body seem to shrink continuously, as if being absorbed and flying towards the black alms bowl.
Right as it was about to be sucked in, a sonic wave suddenly burst from its mouth!
A piercing soundwave rippled outwards in all directions.
It made all four of them clutch their aching ears, forcing them to retreat hastily.
But at the same time.
With a WHOOSH, the large Centipede was sucked into the black alms bowl held by the handsome young Monk on the roof.
The light radiating from it flickered once, then vanished.
And with it, the large Centipede was gone!
As if it had never been there at all!
"The Living Buddha’s divine might!"
Meanwhile, Mu Yao was standing near a corner on the other side. She watched Xu Lei make his move on the rooftop, her beautiful eyes sparkling. "Truly extraordinary!"
Although she had been with Xu Lei for several years.
This was actually only the second time she had ever seen him in action!
Hearing her words, the Old Daoist, the Little Daoist, the beautiful woman, and her husband all looked up at the young Monk in the air, their eyes filled with reverence and longing.
A Living Buddha!
They felt that this handsome young Monk was truly worthy of the title!
After all, they had just experienced how terrifying and inescapable it was to be enveloped by that Centipede’s strange Demonic Power!
But now, Xu Lei had captured it with ease!
"We pay our respects to the Living Buddha!"
Then, the Old Daoist couldn’t stop himself from kneeling and kowtowing.
His main goal right now was to suck up to him.
After all, he had been a Daoist for so many years but had never actually met one with real Magical Power.
Now, seeing Xu Lei, he was naturally awestruck, as if he had seen a celestial being.
So he wanted to grovel a bit, wondering if he might be able to obtain the Longevity Technique from Xu Lei!
"We pay our respects to the Living Buddha!"
Seeing his master kneel, the Little Daoist naturally followed suit.
"We pay our respects to the Living Buddha!"
The beautiful woman’s husband was already superstitious.
Even though he didn’t know what good it would do for the Old Daoist and Little Daoist to kneel.
He couldn’t resist following the crowd and immediately knelt down to worship as well.
"We pay our respects to the Living Buddha!"
The beautiful woman did the same.
She hadn’t believed in gods or buddhas before, but now her mind was reeling.
Besides, with three people already on their knees, it would seem disrespectful to the Living Buddha if she were the only one not kneeling!
"..."
Watching them all kneel and worship him, Xu Lei felt a bit speechless.
He was just a Cultivator, how could he be considered a Living Buddha?
But then again, it was normal for people who had never seen someone with Magical Power to react this way.
’Thank goodness I have this Black Alms Bowl Magical Artifact that Qi Yang left behind!’
Xu Lei thought to himself, ’Otherwise, dealing with this Centipede Demon would have been a bit more troublesome!
I don’t know what kind of Demon this is, but its defense is ridiculously strong. Even my Lotus Treasure Fragments couldn’t cut through it!
Its Dao Practice isn’t very high, though. It must be an innate ability from its bloodline!’
There had been no hitches; he had smoothly captured one Centipede Demon.
Even though this Centipede Demon wasn’t particularly powerful, Xu Lei was still very happy.
"BANG!"
"BANG!"
But just then, the ground nearby began to bulge, and two even larger Centipedes burst out from the earth!
"HISS~!!"
"HISS~!!"
The two Centipede Demons had eyes filled with rage.
Their Demonic Power surged forth, coiling around their bodies.
They charged madly toward Xu Lei.
"There are two more Demons!"
"And they’re even bigger!"
"How is this possible!"
"This is terrifying!"
"Can the Living Buddha handle this?"
Seeing this, Mu Yao, the beautiful woman, and the others all turned pale.
"Go!"
Of course, they saw that the young Living Buddha on the roof showed no signs of panic.
With just a flick of his fingers, the flower petals once again spun toward the two large Centipedes, aiming to kill.
"VMMMM!"
Then, the black alms bowl in his hand lit up again.
It emitted a brilliant light that shone down upon them!
"RING RING RING!"
At the same time, Xu Lei shook the Bell.
The two Human Puppets also charged forward.
Xu Lei had long suspected there were other Demons. The one that had acted so recklessly earlier must have been the junior!
And now, sure enough, the parents of the Centipede Demon from before had appeared!
That was why he was only deploying the Human Puppets now!
Of course, Xu Lei had no intention of fighting them to the death right now.
He had only sent five of his Lotus Treasure Fragments to attack!
Two remained under his feet; if he was outmatched, he could immediately ride them away.
’Hm?’
Of course, Xu Lei soon discovered that these two large Centipedes weren’t that strong either. ’With this level of strength, you’ve just come to die!
Perfect. I’ll refine you both to aid my cultivation!’
The two were no match for Xu Lei, but he guessed they treasured the small Centipede he had just captured.
Furthermore, Xu Lei guessed that the reason they had so recklessly absorbed the Essence Qi of a few extra villagers was to help this little Centipede advance.
Now, they were probably trying to drain Xu Lei’s Magical Power with their Demonic Power, hoping to force him to hand over the little Centipede.
But they were of different species; humans and Demons could not coexist!
Xu Lei would naturally not let them succeed!
"VMMMM! VMMMM! VMMMM!"
With a continuous infusion of Magical Power, the black alms bowl shone brighter and brighter.
Working in concert with the Human Puppets and the Lotus Treasure Fragments, he suppressed the two Centipedes, smashing them violently into the ground!
However, something still happened that Xu Lei hadn’t expected.
The two large Centipedes’ defense was actually quite strong.
As a result, Xu Lei couldn’t control the commotion they were making.
And so, it woke up the other villagers.
One by one, the villagers awoke, their eyes still heavy with sleep.
They never expected to walk outside and see two monstrously large Centipedes, roaring ferociously as they battled a handsome young Monk holding an alms bowl and a Bell!
In an instant, all sleepiness vanished!
"Demons!"
"There really are Demons!"
"So our village really did have something unclean in it!"
"What’s going on? Why aren’t the two Daoists doing anything?"
"And where did this eminent monk come from?"
"Ah, it’s that young tourist! He was wearing a hat before. It turns out he’s actually an Enlightened Monk!"
The villagers, utterly shocked, couldn’t help but break into a flurry of discussion.
When they had first seen the two Centipede Demons, they had been terrified.
But seeing the two demonic creatures being suppressed by the majestic young Living Buddha’s Magical Power, they were no longer afraid.
Instead, they all grew excited, their eyes wide as they watched, afraid to miss even the smallest detail!
After all, they had only ever heard of such fantastical events in legends; they had never witnessed one with their own eyes!
This might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
They might never see anything like it again, so naturally, they were all thrilled!
"Absorb!"
But they didn’t have to watch for long.
Because soon enough, one of the large Centipedes was also sucked into Xu Lei’s black alms bowl.
At that moment, Xu Lei felt like the great villain Fa Hai from the TV series ’Legend of the White Snake’ on Earth.
"BOOM!"
But to Xu Lei’s surprise, the remaining large Centipede suddenly shuddered, and as its body slammed into the ground, it cracked the earth!
Then it tried to break free and escape!
"THWACK! THWACK!"
But the two Human Puppets immediately launched a ferocious attack.
They struck the large Centipede so hard that it could only surge with Demonic Power and take flight to escape.
"Trying to escape? Impossible!"
Xu Lei, of course, immediately stepped onto his Lotus Treasure Fragments and gave chase!
How could he let a Demon Core that was already in his grasp get away?
The villagers here could only watch as the handsome young Living Buddha chased the Demon, stepping through the air as he went!
As for Xu Lei, he was surprised to find that this male Centipede Demon was quite a runner, and it had fled all the way to the village where he had been born in this life.
Just then, it was struck by Xu Lei’s attack, and its entire body was sent crashing down.
It landed in the village square with a "BOOM!", waking up many of the villagers.
The door to Xu Lei’s old home also opened, and his parents, brothers, and others all peered out, their eyes heavy with sleep.
Originally, Xu Lei had just wanted to catch demons to become stronger, then go kill that detestable Old Daoist Nun.
He never thought that his demon hunting would lead him right to his own doorstep.
For a moment, his feelings were a bit complicated.
