149: Chapter 149 Green Snake Meets Evil Monk

"Who did this snake demon find to refine such a powerful natal spirit artifact!"

Xu Qing looked at the "Xiliang Sword" that was on par with his own and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

However, his Xiliang Sword possessed the "Indestructible" skill, making it fundamentally several levels stronger than the snake demon's.

"Skin-Rending Seal!"

"Body-Rending Seal!"

"Bone-Rending Seal!"

Xu Qing's Demonic Qi surged significantly.

The snake demon followed suit, using the exact same methods, and her Demonic Qi also surged significantly.

She completely copied Xu Qing's skills.

"Wind Blade!"

"Wind Blade!"

Two tornadoes collided, tearing up a layer of the ground.

Xu Qing flew through the air, pressing his palms together.

Countless plants and vines elongated rapidly, twisting into tentacles that surged toward the snake demon.

The snake demon neither dodged nor avoided them, opening her mouth to spit out a sea of Green Flame.

Xu Qing was furious; his own skills were being used against him.

This snake demon was truly hateful.

He couldn't delay any longer; he had to end this quickly.

As the battle progressed, the sense of unease in Xu Qing's heart grew heavier.

"heaven-accepting gourd, can you mimic this?"

Xu Qing tapped the heaven-accepting gourd.

Meanwhile, the snake demon recalled her "Xiliang Sword," retreated far away, and formed hand seals.

The "Xiliang Sword" actually transformed into the shape of a heaven-accepting gourd!

"Hmph, the Xiliang Sword's Rank isn't high, so you can mimic it."

"But the heaven-accepting gourd is not that simple!"

Both of them raised their heaven-accepting gourds simultaneously, forming the same White Flood Dragon hand seals.

"Hell Descends!"

They spoke in unison.

A pitch-black pagoda condensed in the Void Realm above, its first floor billowing with black flames.

The second floor thundered with heavenly lightning.

Carrying infinite Yin Qi and Death Qi, it pressed down toward the snake demon.

The snake demon's "heaven-accepting gourd" trembled violently, let out a mournful cry, and transformed into the shape of a mirror.

"The Heaven-Mimicking Mirror actually couldn't mimic it!?"

The expression on the snake demon's face shifted constantly.

"Be suppressed within my hell pagoda!"

Seeing this, Xu Qing no longer hesitated, pouring his Demonic Power wildly into the heaven-accepting gourd.

Bursts of miserable roars, carrying mental attacks of endless pain, emanated from within the pagoda.

"Damn it!"

The snake demon coiled her tail and raised her hands; endless Green Flame surged out, transforming into a pair of giant flaming palms that held up the sky, meeting the hell pagoda.

But under the suppression of the hell pagoda, the giant palms quickly dissipated, and the pagoda pressed down with undiminished power.

Silver heavenly lightning and black flames rapidly eroded the Green Flame simulated by the snake demon.

The snake demon showed a look of terror.

Her face also began to blur, reverting to her own appearance.

Her face was covered in green patterns like tattoos, looking exceptionally sinister.

Gazing at the approaching hell pagoda and hearing those shrill cries of boundless pain...

"...Save, save me!"

The snake demon cried out.

A zen staff flew out from the air with a 'whoosh,' smashing into the hell pagoda.

Under Xu Qing's control, the hell pagoda neither dodged nor avoided it, tanking the zen staff head-on; the pagoda's body stalled for a moment.

He hurriedly intensified the black flames, wanting to forcefully suppress this snake demon to death.

"amitabha, benefactor has such a cruel heart."

A monk appeared.

The monk wore a grey mantle and had white, bone-like prayer beads around his neck.

With his palms pressed together, a ten-zhang tall Blood Asura Buddha statue appeared, its blood-qi overwhelming.

With three heads and six arms, it clenched its fists and swung them toward the sky.

An eerie, boundless blood-colored Buddhist light dyed the entire space red.

The hell pagoda was forcefully smashed back a short distance.

For a moment, both the monk and Xu Qing were filled with shock.

Taking advantage of the situation, the snake demon scurried out from under the hell pagoda, baring her teeth at Xu Qing with a ferocious expression.

Because her Demonic Technique had been broken by Xu Qing, she had returned to her original appearance.

Thus, Xu Qing no longer suffered from mental fluctuations.

Having just fought against an identical version of himself, his mind had been in a state of turmoil.

The more he looked, the more he liked what he saw.

He usually didn't dare look in a mirror.

"You monk, what kind of Buddhist dharma do you practice!"

"Helping this man-eating demon?"

Xu Qing looked at the monk with some wariness.

The monk's cultivation was at the Golden Core Late Stage; if he teamed up with this Skin-Painting Snake, the fight would be very difficult for him.

"amitabha, humans eat beasts, so why can beasts not eat humans?"

"All living beings in the world are equal. You too are a snake, a beast, so why do you think a demon cannot eat humans?"

The monk stated his reasoning.

"She turned into me to eat people, and yet she's in the right?"

"Today you all must..."

The monk sighed and lightly clapped his hands.

Several monks walked out.

Without exception, all of them were at the Golden Core Rank, surrounding Xu Qing in the center.

"amitabha, would benefactor care to come with us?"

"And then, die a few deaths."

"This poor monk's dharma name is Deliverer of Demons."

A boundless blood-red Buddhist light lit up.

Xu Qing's hair stood on end.

He was about to be ganged up on.

It had always been Xu Qing ganging up on others!

Today, he was actually going to be ganged up on by others!

"You lot, which temple are you from?"

Xu Qing felt a bit lacking in confidence.

"We poor monks do not serve or follow any Buddha."

"We follow only the Demon Lord Buddha, who saves all living beings in the world into ultimate bliss."

The monks had expressions of pure devotion.

Xu Qing cursed wildly in his heart.

How did he encounter this kind of thing as soon as he stepped out!

After Daya left, his life had returned to its usual bad luck.

He shouldn't have left home!

Despite being a Golden Core big shot, he still ran into this kind of mess.

"You made this snake demon turn into me just to lure me here?"

"amitabha."

"It was merely a slight attempt."

"That benefactor actually came is truly an unexpected joy."

"Resurrection Green Snake, refining the Death-Reversing Pill can allow our Lord Buddha to descend into this world and bring ultimate bliss to the realm."

"Of course, this requires you, My Lady, to make a sacrifice. But after you die, you will surely go to the Land of Ultimate Bliss and remain by the Demon Lord's side forever."

The monk Deliverer of Demons explained.

"Accompany your mother's Demon Lord!"

"I'm not playing with you guys!"

Could Xu Qing win?

What kind of international joke was that? As a snake demon at the Golden Core level of Foundation Establishment, he could at most beat one Deliverer of Demons.

And there were so many psychotic baldies here.

How could he possibly win!

He could only run!

Running away—Xu Qing had experience in that!

Xu Qing charged headlong toward the blood-red Buddhist light, his hands forming seals to hold up the sky.

At the same time, he crushed the jade pendant Elder Li had given him.

He couldn't win, but he could call for backup while running.

This was Xu Qing's network of connections (snakes)!

"Why must benefactor suffer so?"

"Resisting like this, how can you go to the Land of Ultimate Bliss?"

The group of monks sighed one after another, looking at Xu Qing with pitying eyes.

They had an expression that said, 'We're doing this for your own good, yet you refuse to improve.'

"Ultimate bliss my ass! I can't guarantee you'll reach ultimate bliss, but I'll wait until you're dead and personally drag your souls out to lock them in the hell pagoda!"

"I'll give you VIP special service!"

"green flood dragon ring, go!"

The green jade ring flew from his wrist, spinning rapidly as boundless green light surged from within.

At the same time, he didn't forget to throw out some parting threats.

The green light crashed against the Buddhist light.

Xu Qing pushed the green flood dragon ring with all his might, his hands forming seals as he spat out a one-word command.

"Seal!"
