When Mo Fan saw the overwhelming surge of blood energy erupting from Granny Sparrow’s body, he immediately understood everything.
Granny Sparrow was burning her last remaining essence blood, attempting to trade her lifespan for a sliver of survival chance for him.
Mo Fan was not foolish. From Granny Sparrow’s words just now, it was not hard to judge that her current state was extremely dire. She herself clearly knew that even after unleashing this sword, she still could not kill the monk. That was why she planned to carve out a path of survival for him.
But Granny Sparrow did not truly understand what kind of monster Mo Fan was.
Perhaps she knew something of his character, but at this moment she had no other choice.
She had already burned too much essence blood, severely damaging her origin. Even if she escaped this place, she probably would not live much longer. That was why Granny Sparrow had decided to leave her final chance of survival to Mo Fan.
But would Mo Fan accept the fate she had arranged for him?
He would not accept it, and he could not accept it!
In Mo Fan’s heart, he would never abandon Granny Sparrow, who had fought desperately to protect him, just for the so-called chance to live.
Moreover, even if he escaped from this world of all Buddhas, could he really escape the monk’s grasp?
His speed was indeed fast, that was true, but an ancestral realm cultivator’s instant movement was even faster!
And the most important point: he could not abandon the entire Black Wind Mountain!
If he fled, it would mean the demon creatures of Black Wind Mountain would have to face this monk alone. Although the monk might not necessarily wipe out the entire Black Wind Mountain, as long as there was even the slightest possibility, Mo Fan would never allow it.
Black Wind Mountain was the foundation of his foothold in this world. It was the birthplace of his push for demon clan reform. It also held countless companions and friends he had made in this life. To Mo Fan, its significance was immense.
Running away was not Mo Fan’s style. As long as there was even a shred of hope, he would fight for it!
Although this monk was powerful, he was not unbeatable!
“Swish—”
At that moment, sword intent blazed fiercely. Golden flames soared into the sky!
This sword shattered the golden prison formed by the swastika character, forced the monk Sanjie to retreat, and left a deep bone-revealing wound across his chest.
Monk Sanjie had not expected Granny Sparrow’s sword to be so ferocious. Even his indestructible vajra body had been breached. Fortunately, he had dodged in time, preventing even more severe injury.
But because he dodged, this terrifying sword qi surged forward unhindered.
Swish!
A massive rift was instantly torn open in the golden world!
“Fan’er, go!!”
Granny Sparrow roared. Her voice shook the entire world of all Buddhas.
Mo Fan’s eyes turned blood-red. Looking at Granny Sparrow, whose aura was rapidly weakening, he gritted his teeth fiercely. Then he flew straight towards the rift in the sky.
Monk Sanjie furrowed his brows when he saw this, but he did not move to block him. Instead, he took one step forward and instantly appeared in front of Granny Sparrow.
This time he said nothing more. He extended his index finger and pointed towards the centre of Granny Sparrow’s brow.
But at that moment, he seemed to sense something. He turned around and pointed a finger outward!
Boom!
A gigantic blood-coloured fist collided with Monk Sanjie, erupting in a heaven-shaking roar.
Crack—
In the next instant, Monk Sanjie’s expression changed drastically. His index finger had snapped!
But when he saw clearly who his opponent was, his eyes suddenly brightened.
It was actually a dragon!
More precisely, a blood-coloured chi dragon!
This was none other than Mo Fan’s transformed form. He had not truly left. Instead, he had used the minor art of Water Mirror Secret Technique to create a water-shadow clone, deceiving Monk Sanjie’s eyes.
His true body had already used the “etherealisation” of the Nether Ghost Body to arrive here and complete the chi dragon transformation!
“So it is you!”
Golden light surged in Monk Sanjie’s eyes. As he looked at Mo Fan, everything suddenly became clear to him.
He had seen through Mo Fan’s true form!
“Monk, wouldn’t it have been better for you to stay in your Western Desert chanting sutras and pretending to be compassionate?”
“Why did you have to come to demon territory looking for death!”
Mo Fan roared. He raised his right claw and slapped down!
At this moment, transformed into a blood-coloured chi dragon, he was a hundred zhang long. A single dragon claw was larger than Monk Sanjie’s entire body, like a small mountain pressing down with overwhelming pressure!
“Benefactor, this poor monk has said that you have affinity with our Buddha. It seems it is indeed true!”
“In the ancient records of our Ling Mountain, it was written long ago that in the primeval era, our Buddha established the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons, among which the dragon tribe are all considered dragon clans!
Since you can transform into a chi dragon, you are qualified to enter our Ling Mountain!”
Monk Sanjie was not alarmed but delighted. His body shook, and brilliant golden light burst from him. His entire form rapidly grew larger at a visible speed.
In an instant, he too became a hundred-zhang giant. He formed a fist seal with his hands and smashed directly towards the descending dragon claw.
Boom—
A heaven-shaking roar echoed. The chi dragon did not budge at all. In contrast, the hundred-zhang monk was forced back several zhang. His entire right arm trembled, appearing swollen and red.
“What a powerful physique!”
Monk Sanjie’s expression changed slightly. But Mo Fan gave him no chance to recover. Another claw slapped down!
“Amitabha!”
This time Monk Sanjie neither dodged nor evaded. He first pressed his palms together, then changed his hand seals. Instantly, a blurry golden figure appeared reflected over his body.
This golden figure was even larger than Monk Sanjie’s current hundred-zhang form. It seemed to completely envelop and protect him within itself.
Boom!
The mountain-sized dragon claw smashed down, yet it only cracked the reflected golden figure, causing Monk Sanjie’s body to tremble lightly.
Beyond that, no further damage appeared!
“What?!”
Mo Fan stared wide-eyed. He found it somewhat unbelievable.
Right now he was in chi dragon transformation state. His physical body was strong enough to rival a peak ancestral realm great demon!
Logically speaking, even if he could not slap the monk to death with one claw, he should at least inflict serious injury. Yet the opponent remained completely unmoved. This was simply absurd!
“Amitabha! Benefactor, forcibly elevated power does not truly belong to you. Though your strength is great, how much of it can you actually wield?
How could you possibly know that our Buddha possesses the Immovable Vajra Wisdom King?
Under the blessing of the Immovable Vajra Wisdom King Seal, this poor monk’s physical body can also surpass those of the same realm. How could a hairless beast like you possibly compare?”
Monk Sanjie gave a faint smile. His expression was dignified and solemn. Then his hand seals changed once more.
In the next moment, a fleshy tumour surged at the back of his neck, and soon a second head grew out. Behind him, a pair of golden arms also emerged.
Double heads and four arms!
“Benefactor, why do you not submit at once!”
Both heads of Monk Sanjie laughed loudly at the same time. This time he did not dodge or evade. Instead, he took the initiative to attack Mo Fan.
Not far away, the extremely weakened Granny Sparrow watched this scene in a daze. But soon she gave a bitter smile and shook her head, muttering to herself, “It seems this old woman really has grown old…”
At first she had thought that with her cultivation, she could definitely protect Mo Fan completely and serve as his guardian. But now it seemed utterly laughable.
The existence she could not defeat even after risking her life was now engaged in fierce battle with Mo Fan in his chi dragon form.
In other words, the current Mo Fan was already no weaker than her, and perhaps even stronger!
“Cough cough…”
Granny Sparrow coughed repeatedly. Blood mist sprayed from her mouth, but the moment it appeared in the air, it instantly evaporated. At the same time, her appearance rapidly aged. Her black hair turned white. Her once straight and graceful figure began to hunch…
In just a short moment, the woman who had just been in the prime of her beauty, peerlessly stunning, had turned into a withered old crone on the verge of death, her entire body shrouded in the aura of decay.
