Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health

Chapter 738: Chapter 289: The Enlightened Are Ever Blessed (3)

In the next moment, the Great Clothing Calamity Buddha abruptly opened his eyes.

His murky eyes instantly became incomparably bright. He spoke, uttering a single syllable,

"Za!"

The sword was frozen in mid-air.

At this time, the other Buddhas reacted and hurriedly activated their Buddhist techniques to protect themselves.

"There is an enemy!"

"Protect our Buddha!"

Four golden-bodied, fierce-faced Vajra Monks rushed into the hall from outside and surrounded the Great Clothing Calamity Buddha.

The sword continued to press forward with great force, as if trying to break through the Buddha of the Great Clothing Calamity. But the sword was not pointed directly at him, rather it was aimed at Jian Shi Tathagata beside him.

The Great Clothing Calamity Buddha remained calm,

"Jian Shi, is this the strange event you mentioned?"

Jian Shi Tathagata, feeling ashamed, said, "It’s my fault, young monk. I didn’t expect the person who desecrated the Celestial Buddha to be so resilient, and even more so, I didn’t expect the person by his side to possess such ability. I deeply regret disturbing our Buddha and the fellow monks. No need to worry, I will handle this right away."

With that, he sat cross-legged on the cushion and entered a meditative state instantly.

...

"It stopped!" Luo Qingyao noticed that her senior brother’s figure ceased to be persistently blurred, and was becoming clearer bit by bit. Unable to contain her joy, she exclaimed, "It really was that monk!"

She then planned to have her mind sword hold it off over there while she arrived subsequently.

However, before she moved, strange syllables suddenly echoed around her.

"Is this, a Buddhist scripture?"

Subsequently, Luo Qingyao saw a huge fiery cloud in the distance gradually transform into an Angry-eyed Vajra with multiple faces and arms.

Its enormous size was comparable to one-third of the celestial beings she had seen at Sun-shooting Pass.

She squinted her eyes,

"Are you that damned monk?"

The Angry-eyed Vajra glared at Luo Qingyao, "You worldly person, your actions are an offense to our Buddha, a desecration to the Celestial Buddha!"

Luo Qingyao scoffed, "I’ll give you two choices: one, release my senior brother; two, be chopped into minced meat by me."

"Incorrigible!" The Angry-eyed Vajra’s voice was like thunder, "You have entered this cycle of reincarnation, subjected to this cause and effect, yet you refuse to convert to the path of the Celestial Buddha, repay the grace of the Celestial Buddha, but instead assist demons in their mischief!"

"The claims of the Heavenly Dao, do they even match a single strand of my senior brother’s hair?"

"In that case, I shall enforce the will of heaven!"

The Angry-eyed Vajra stepped into the void, leaping fiercely towards Luo Qingyao.

Although Luo Qingyao was without a sword in hand, she herself was a sword. Her gaze was Sword Qi, her body technique was her sword move, her will was the Sword Dao! She was like a star whirling around the circumference of the heavens, darting wildly around the enormous Angry-eyed Vajra. The fierce Sword Qi cleaved the Vajra’s body into one segment after another.

"Not free from worldly constraints, how can you dictate the life and death of one’s true self!"

However, the Angry-eyed Vajra was neither shattered to pieces nor even slightly injured.

Luo Qingyao furrowed her brow.

She realized that her attacks seemed ineffective against this Vajra.

"Is this what Xiaohong referred to as an existence beyond the conventional? Possessing abilities transcending the ordinary!"

After drawing out the sword in her mind at Sun-shooting Pass, Luo Qingyao was unquestionably the top swordsman in the world, but no matter how fast her sword was, even if it could disturb the stars, even if it could tear the void, it was still not beyond the ordinary, still a power that existed within this world, that could be wielded by the common person.

However, in front of her, the Angry-eyed Vajra was a Heavenly Dao Executor, entrusted with the divine will, executing the heavenly mandate!

Luo Qingyao faced not a swordsman, not a cultivator, but the Heavenly Dao!

Yet, her cultivation and her Sword Dao were under the mastery of the Heavenly Dao. How could she possibly harm a Heavenly Dao Executor?

Her repeated attacks failed to penetrate the essence of the Angry-eyed Vajra.

"A futile endeavor! A worldly person, unable to comprehend even the mundane world, seeks with a meager heart to glimpse the exalted Celestial Buddha, a true pity." The Angry-eyed Vajra suddenly sat cross-legged, "Since you refuse to yield, enigmatic as you are to our path, this deity shall dispel the cause and effect you possess in the worldly realm, as a gesture to the Celestial Buddha."

He uttered an eerie syllable.

Luo Qingyao suddenly froze, and then she felt her understanding of the world rapidly slipping away, like water breaching a dam.

Her figure too quickly became blurred, like the white-and-black figures in an impressionistic ink painting.

"No! I mustn’t forget my family! I mustn’t forget my senior brother! I mustn’t forget myself!"

Luo Qingyao desperately tried to grasp those memories, but like trying to hold onto sand, the more she did, the more she lost.

The Angry-eyed Vajra, seeing this, recited,

"Ana Shi-"

Before he could finish the phrase Anashituo, he suddenly saw a slender, fair hand extend fiercely from the area of Luo Qingyao’s heart.

This hand seemed to transcend spatial distance.

Though the Angry-eyed Vajra was hundreds of meters away, with just a light grasp, his figure instantly shrunk, held firmly in the palm of that hand.

"Who are you! How dare you disrupt this one’s execution of the Celestial Buddha’s will!" the Angry-eyed Vajra roared angrily.

However, no response was given to him.

The hand merely applied a bit more pressure, completely crushing him.

The blurred figures of Luo Qingyao and Fan Wubing suddenly became clear, or rather, real.

Their losses were restored to them.

The hand extending from Luo Qingyao’s heart seemed to have a gaze, "staring" blankly at Fan Wubing.

A moment later, it began to retract.

But at the next instant, Fan Wubing suddenly stood up and grabbed it firmly, saying in a deep tone,

"So you finally showed up. Long time no see, Jiang Sha."

The hand caught by Fan Wubing tensed abruptly, trying to break free. But Fan Wubing held on with great force.

After struggling a while, it gave up.

Luo Qingyao’s aura suddenly changed. She became like Jiang Sha, her gaze so subtle and ephemeral, with faint flickers of light in the depths of her pupils. She opened her mouth and said,
