Chapter 735: Battle of the Strong (Part 4)
Duanmu Hong sneered, "What other ultimate moves do you have? Use them all at once!"
"Buddha's Light Everywhere!"
"True Buddha Descends!"
"My Buddha is Merciful!"
...
"Myriad Buddhas to the Origin!"
Abbot Xuan Si and the others exerted all their strength to execute their paramount ultimate attacks.
In the void, a statue of a Buddha with shimmering Jin Guang appeared, with hands clasped together, eyes slightly closed, bearing a very serious expression. As soon as this Buddha statue appeared, the Spiritual Energy around became chaotic, followed by fierce winds and thunder, an awesome display of power from the Buddha statue that could provoke such frightening heavenly phenomena.
Actually, this Buddha statue was an illusion, conjured by Mysterious Power, and not the true body. Although it was just an illusion, the pressure it emitted was immense.
"So the shadow of an Immortal Buddha has been summoned, quite impressive," Duanmu Hong took a step back, then drew two gleaming swords, a Longsword and a Short Sword, identical in design with a pendant hanging on each hilt. Duanmu Hong personally refined these two treasured swords from the exceptionally rare Heavenly Thunder Metal, not only exceedingly durable but also capable of unleashing thunder.
The apparition of the Buddha in the void exerted immense pressure on Duanmu Hong; taking no chances, she drew her signature treasures, swords sharp beyond compare. The Longsword and Short Sword complemented each other effectively: the Longsword for offense and the Short Sword for defense, and vice versa, a perfect synchronization of attack and defense.
Back in the day, it was with these two treasured swords that Duanmu Hong defeated one expert after another, eventually reaching the peak and becoming a renowned powerhouse that shook the world.
Tens of thousands of years flashed by, and for these tens of thousands of years, the treasured swords slumbered alongside Duanmu Hong. Now, at long last, they could unleash their might and reclaim their former glory!
The massive Buddha statue slowly descended toward Duanmu Hong, "Crackle and pop..." As the Buddha statue descended, the air was compressed and shattered by its tremendous energy, producing a screeching noise, and the surrounding Spiritual Energy madly surged into the body of the Buddha, increasing its emitted pressure with the continuous influx of energy.
Such terror from merely an illusion! If the true body were to descend, what kind of a scene would that be? The whole Void might very well collapse.
The Eighteen Arhats Formation was pushed to its limit, able to connect to the Buddha Realm and summon the shadow of an Immortal Buddha... it sounded somewhat unbelievable, but facts spoke louder than words, the shadow of an Immortal Buddha had indeed been summoned...
"Hmph!"
Duanmu Hong snorted coldly, "If it were the true body of an Immortal Buddha descending, perhaps I would feel fear, but unfortunately it's just an illusion..." Duanmu Hong raised her twin swords and slashed at the shadow overhead: "Shatter for me!!!"
"You think you're the only ones with ultimate attacks?"
"I have them too! And more than you!"
"Twin Swords Combined! Slash!"
"Dragon and Snake Dance!"
"Crane Cries to the Heavens!"
"Phoenix Dance Soaring!"
The two treasured swords intersected above and below, splitting the Void, emanating a world-shaking, terrifying killing intent, they were the sovereigns among swords! Possessing supreme courage and strength, no matter the Level of the enemy ahead, make no mistake, it's said 'If it's a God, slay the God; if it's a Buddha, slay the Buddha!' Slay all enemies! Purge all forces!
This is the pride of the king of swords!
"Splash! Splash!!"
"Rumble..."
The grand and mighty shadow of the Immortal Buddha was, in fact, hold at bay by Duanmu Hong, or more precisely, held at bay by the two treasured swords in her hands.
"How is this possible!" Xuan Si, the monastery head, exclaimed in shock, "These are the shadows of Immortal Buddhas... and they have been resisted? This... this is just a joke..." After executing his ultimate move, Xuan Si had drained all the True Qi in his body. At that moment, his face was pale and his breathing was heavy; he had lost his ability to fight, and the seventeen monks who had arranged the Formation with him were also weak and unable to continue the battle.
Xuan Si thought that with the shadows of Immortal Buddhas, he could suppress Duanmu Hong. Even if he couldn't take Duanmu Hong's life, he would have inflicted heavy damage on her... But to his utter surprise, Duanmu Hong actually resisted the attack of the Immortal Buddha shadows...
Duanmu Hong fought more and more fiercely, wielding two treasured swords, forcing the shadows of the Immortal Buddhas to retreat step by step.
"Hahaha... These are the shadows of Immortal Buddhas? They look pretty, but they are useless." Duanmu Hong laughed heartily, "Monks of the Myriad Buddhas Sect, after I destroy this shadow, I'll come to greet you and let you taste my methods."
"Master." An old monk said trembling, "The demoness is too powerful, we are no match for her! Quickly awaken the senior elders, only they can suppress the demoness."
"No!" Xuan Si immediately refused, "The senior elders are in the midst of a life-and-death retreat, and rudely disturbing them would cause them great harm."
"Then what shall we do? Allow the demoness to go on a killing spree?"
"In a word, we must absolutely not disturb the senior elders!"
"We could just awaken one senior elder..."
"One senior elder may not be able to handle the demoness."
"Nonsense, what kind of strength do the senior elders have? How could they not deal with a demoness?"
"The demoness is very strong; even the Eighteen Arhats Formation couldn't trap her... Her strength has already surpassed that of the senior elders... Unless several senior elders come out of retreat together, no one can suppress the demoness."
Everyone was arguing without end.
"Enough, shut up!" Xuan Si shouted in anger, "I warn you, we must absolutely not disturb the senior elders! Even if we all die, we cannot disturb the senior elders!"
Seeing Xuan Si getting angry, everyone closed their mouths and said no more.
"While the Buddha shadow is still here, we'd better sit and rest to regain some True Qi," Xuan Si said, "We have a tough battle ahead!"
The seventeen monks sat around Xuan Si in a circle, swallowed elixirs, and then closed their eyes to meditate.
...
It took Duanmu Hong well over two hours just to defeat the shadow, and just as she was about to attack Xuan Si and the others, a gleam of light suddenly appeared on the horizon...
"Not good!" Duanmu Hong's face changed, "It's about to be daylight! The Sun is going to rise soon! Damn it, how could this timing be so coincidental!" Having slept in the ancient tomb for hundreds of thousands of years, Duanmu Hong's body was filled with death Qi and she feared the Sun the most.
She could only temporarily retreat and wait for the Sun to set before returning.
Just a bit more...
It was all the fault of that Immortal Buddha shadow; without it... Forget it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get!
Duanmu Hong reluctantly glanced at Xuan Si and the others, then leaped away. As she passed by Gao Fei and He Hentian, she waved both hands and flung away the dozens of monks who were attacking Gao Fei and He Hentian, "Let's go! Leave this place!"
"Ah! Oh!"
Gao Fei grabbed hold of a Xuan Wu monk and then chased after Duanmu Hong.
Before He Hentian left, he also grabbed a monk; this was the so-called 'going out for a walk,' never returning empty-handed. He took two people back to relieve the boredom.
The three of them flew away at high speed and disappeared in an instant.
