“Boom boom.”
The Heart Art Buddhist Master raised his head and looked towards the dozens of tombstones that flew in, only to see that each tombstone was dozens of feet tall, as if they were dozens of square stone mountains.
There was a black ghostly aura that covered the tombstones, making them as if they were lead and iron.
“Amitabha Buddha!”
The Heart Art Buddhist Master’s left hand pinched out a Buddhist seal and placed it in front of his chest, while the sleeve of his right hand waved.
Immediately, a golden Buddhist light, transforming into a single Sanskrit text, swept out, shattering the dozens of tombstones that flew over, all of them, into stone dust.
On the shores of the Blood Lake, rustling sounds resounded as grains of stone powder sprinkled onto the ground as if it were raining.
Hao Chuan Wu Chang and the other five Wu Changs, showing a fan-shaped arrangement, advanced at breakneck speed and attacked the four evil monks of the Deadly Zen Sect.
While the Heart Art Buddhist Master was still standing on the shore of the blood lake, as if he was an immovable rock, the other three evil monks of the Dead Zen Sect were leading hundreds of half-saint puppets, and they greeted Haochuan Wuchang and the five Impermanence.
The appearance of the six Impermanents instantly lifted the crisis on Zhang Ruochen and Coldsnow, and that pressure on their bodies, in an instant, disappeared without a trace.
The two of them quickly retreated, retreating until they were a hundred miles away before they temporarily stopped.
“Master, that Heart Technique Buddhist Master, could it be that one ‘Southern Heart Technique’ from the Heroic Fugue?”Cold Snow said.
“It should be him, I really didn’t expect that such a powerful figure would actually come to the netherworld as well.”
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze, looked towards the direction of the Blood Lake, only to see that in that direction, a ghostly aura and Buddhist light collided with each other, surging out ripples of energy one after another.
The powerful battle fluctuations naturally startled Mu Lingshi, and she, along with Xiao Hei, Divine Demon Mouse, and Xin Kong Wu Chang, immediately rushed over and converged with Zhang Ruochen and Han Xue.
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen was not injured, Mu Lingshi was slightly relieved and asked, “What happened?”
“The powerhouses of the Deadly Zen Sect, and a group of Irregulars are fighting, seemingly because of a Sun and Moon Crystal Coffin.”Zhang Ruochen explained.
“Sun and Moon Crystal Coffin.”
As long as one lies in the coffin, the coffin will be able to absorb the essence of the sun and moon and automatically inject it into the cultivator’s body, which can increase the cultivation speed of the cultivator by several times. Zhang Ruochen, we can’t miss such a treasure.”
Zhang Ruochen recalled the young monk standing next to the blood lake and immediately shook his head, saying, “There is a powerful figure from the Deadly Zen Sect that is guarding the Sun and Moon Crystal Coffin. If we don’t want to die, we must leave this place immediately.”
If that young monk was really the legendary “Southern Heart Technique”, then all of them combined would probably not be able to defeat a single finger of the other party.
Although Hao Chuan Wu Chang’s cultivation was also very powerful, it was absolutely impossible for him to be a match for the Heart Art Buddhist Master.
This person, was a legend.
Zhang Ruochen had always been careful in his actions, thus, Mu Lingshi naturally agreed with him.
The crowd was about to plan to leave when they heard Xiao Hei exclaim, “Look above your heads.”
Xiao Hei had always been fond of being startled, thus, Zhang Ruochen didn’t take it to heart and just casually lifted his head and glanced upwards.
Suddenly, his neck stiffened and his eyes became frozen. This was because, above the pitch-black clouds, there was actually a beautiful woman wearing a blood-red robe, standing there in the air, motionless, as if she was completely still.
Because, she was very far away from the ground, if one did not look closely, one would not be able to spot her at all. That was why this scene looked so bizarre.
“It’s actually her.”
Zhang Ruochen’s face became very ugly.
That blood-robed woman hanging in midair was none other than the beautiful Ghost King who was guarding the periphery of the Perishing Tomb Forest. Who would have expected that she would actually chase her to the Divine Primordial Ghost King’s territory?
Heart Khon Uncanny also saw the figure of the Beauty Ghost King, and joy appeared in his eyes as he spat out a wisp of ghostly mist from his mouth, and in his throat, he emitted a very odd sound that was transmitted.
The Beautiful Ghost King in the sky above, seemed to have heard her voice, and then, glanced downwards.
Her pair of cold eyes stared at Heart Kong Wu Chang’s body as she stretched out a finger, striking out a green-coloured flame that connected from the sky all the way to the ground.
“Be careful.”
Seeing that fire snake connecting heaven and earth, Zhang Ruochen, at the first moment, released his Sacred Qi and rolled up Mu Lingshi, Xiao Hei, and Cold Snow and flew backwards tens of feet away.
“Giggle!”
The green-coloured flames struck on top of the iron cords on Xin Kong Wu Chang’s body, and in just an instant, they melted the cords, turning them into drops of metallic liquid. Not only that, even the ground was melted by the flames, turning into a crimson rock lake.
Heart Khon Uncanny regained his freedom and gave Zhang Ruochen and Little Black a spiteful glance, immediately fleeing into the distance, rushing in the direction of the blood lake.
The beautiful Ghost King in the sky dome did not make a move to clean up Zhang Ruochen and the others, but instead stared in the direction of the blood lake, his gaze landing on the Sun and Moon Crystal Coffin.
An intense cold aura emanated from her body, causing the netherworld, too, to float in a sheet of black snowflakes.
“Swish!”
The beautiful Ghost King descended from the sky, formed an arc, and landed on top of the blood lake, stood on the water surface, and stretched out a ghostly claw, striking the air and distorting it slightly, wanting to snatch the Sun Moon Crystal Coffin back.
“One palm, one Qiankun.”
From the mouth of the Heart Art Buddhist Master, he recited a Buddhist mantra.
In the palm of his right hand, a seal was condensed. Immediately after, a palm pattern on the palm emerged, transforming into the shape of mountains and rivers.
The palm pattern in the shape of five fingers became tens of miles long, evolving into a golden heaven and earth, and imprinted towards the beautiful ghost king.
The gigantic handprint completely reflected this piece of heaven and earth in golden colour. The golden light that fell on top of the tombstone made it look as if it was cast from gold.
As the palm print fell, it emitted a loud rumbling sound, striking the earth next to the blood lake and causing it to sink downwards.
On the ground, a huge crack cracked out and was still extending into the distance. Wherever the cracks extended to, the ground immediately collapsed downwards.
Whether it was the Mindfulness Buddhist Master or the Beautiful Ghost King, neither of them were good, and moreover, their cultivation levels were even more quite terrifying. Thus, Zhang Ruochen did not go after the fleeing Heart Kong Irregular, and only had one thought in his mind, “Leave immediately.”
Zhang Ruochen led the crowd and fled into the distance, only wanting to get as far away from the Blood Lake as possible.
About half an hour later, they were already very far away from the Blood Lake before they stopped.
Cold Snow looked around for traces of Little Black, but failed to locate it, saying, “Master, Little Black didn’t follow.”
Little Black’s speed was definitely one of the top existences within their group.
How could it have lost it?
Mu Lingshi frowned and said, “I’ll go back to look for it.”
Zhang Ruochen immediately grabbed Mu Lingshi’s wrist and stopped her, gently shaking his head as he gazed into the distance and said, “Look, it’s not already following.”
Mu Lingshi peered into the distance and indeed saw the figure of Little Black, that one fat cat, scampering and jumping to catch up.
However ……
On Xiao Hei’s neck, it was carrying a nine-foot-long crystal coffin, with its black cat tail and two paws, it was darting vigorously.
Behind it, it was chasing after an evil monk of the Deadly Zen Sect, and behind the evil monk, he was carrying dozens of half-saint level puppets. Some of the half-saint puppets were running wildly on the ground, while some of the half-saint puppets were flying in the sky, chasing after Xiao Hei.
That evil monk of the Deadly Zen Sect, named Gala Yuan, was very furious as he yelled, “Fat cat, put down the Sun and Moon Crystal Coffin, and Master Buddha can keep your whole body.”
“If, however, you can catch up with this Emperor, it will be yours.”
Xiao Hei’s speed was surprisingly fast, always pulling a certain distance away from Gala Yuan, making Gala Yuan’s attacks, completely unable to hit its body.
In the other direction, a black Yin wind blew, an ice-cold baleful aura that swept Little Black in.
In the ghastly wind, three ghostly bodies coalesced, transforming into three impermanents with icy breaths, flying down from mid-air, blocking Xiao Hei’s path.
One of the impermanent, wearing black armour and holding a sharp lance, pointed towards Xiao Hei and said in a deep voice: ”Where else do you want to escape to? Hand over the Sun and Moon Crystal Coffin immediately.”
Little Black stopped, but had no intention of handing over the Sun and Moon Crystal Coffin, and laughed out loud, “You yourselves are not capable of guarding the treasure, but this Emperor can’t still keep it for you?”
“It was clearly you who stole the Sun Moon Crystal Coffin while the poor monk was fighting with the two Imperishables.”
Gala Yuan brought dozens of half-saint level puppets and chased after him, standing in a line, sealing off Xiao Hei’s path of retreat, completely.
“Fat cat, hand over the Sun Moon Crystal Coffin to the poor monk, and the poor monk can save your life. Otherwise, once you are captured by the Uncanny in the netherworld, I’m afraid that even the beast soul, will be devoured by them.”
Gala Yuan revealed a friendly appearance and took the lead in throwing out an olive branch to Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei naturally would not believe in Garo Yuan’s words, and laughed heatedly, “If you want the Sun and Moon Crystal Coffin, come and get it yourself.”
Gala Yuan put away his smile, his eyes became cold and heavy with killing intent as he hummed, “Since you want to seek death, the poor monk will fulfil you.”
“Wow…”
Gala Yuan did not personally strike, but, instead, quickly formed a Buddha seal, using the Buddha Qi within his body, he controlled the two Semi-Saint puppets and attacked towards Xiao Hei.
In the brow of the two Half-Saint puppets, golden Brahmans emerged, and a pair of eye pupils, in an instant, turned golden.
The corpses of the two Half-Saints had not yet been sacrificed through special techniques, thus, they could only be called Half-Saint puppets and could not be called Half-Saint battle corpses.
The combat power of a half-saint puppet was actually not that powerful, at most, it was only a little more powerful than a cultivator of the ninth transformation of the fish dragon, and could not fight against a true half-saint.
Seeing that Little Black was about to suffer, a siege from both parties.
“Swish!”
A silhouette, quickly rushed out and appeared beside Xiao Hei, coalescing into Zhang Ruochen’s body.
Zhang Ruochen mobilised the Saint Qi within his body and injected it into the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, swinging it forward, and the crescent shaped sword qi slashed at the bodies of the two Half Saint puppets.
Immediately, the two Half-Saint puppets, flew backwards and impacted on top of the two tombstones, smashing them into pieces.
