Chapter 84: The Ruthless Heaven-Defying Staff Kills Moksha
Li Shimin performed a ritual for a talisman, inscribed it with a countermeasure, and sent the talisman in the direction of the Imperial Palace.
The talisman flew by itself and landed before the desk of Tang Emperor Li Zhi. Li Zhi picked it up to look, but someone caught his wrist. He looked up only to find a monk with glaring eyes. The Kasaya on his upper body only covered half of his torso, leaving most of his chest bare.
Li Zhi said angrily, "Impudent! Where did this wild monk come from, daring to act so arrogantly!"
But this was no ordinary monk—it was Moksha Jiedi, who had actually come to catch someone red-handed, leaving the Taoist Sect with nothing to say.
Moksha Jiedi said, "Your father Li Shimin has joined the Taoist Sect, yet he has violated the rules. This time, I have indeed caught you red-handed!"
Li Zhi sneered, "How bold of you, bald donkey, to even use the term ’caught red-handed’? I am the Sovereign of the human world, how dare such a bald donkey like you!" He called out, "Guards, seize this bald donkey and kill him."
Immediately, guards rushed in from outside. These guards also had True Immortal cultivation levels, but how could they possibly apprehend one of the Five Directions Jiedi, Moksha? A flash of golden light and Sanskrit characters fell from the sky, striking the guards on the head. They stumbled around, dizzy, and vomited blood profusely.
Li Zhi grew even angrier and shouted, "Where is General Li Daozong!"
Li Daozong, a renowned general of the Great Tang with the cultivation level of a Profound Immortal, was adept in military strategy but lacked in cultivation compared to military tactics. He leaped out to confront Moksha Jiedi but was subdued in just two moves, bound on the ground and unable to move.
Li Zhi, pointing at Moksha Jiedi with trembling fingers, furiously said, "Well, very well! You wretched bald donkey!"
After speaking, he took a strand of hair from under the desk and shouted three times, "Heaven-Defying, Heaven-Defying, Heaven-Defying!"
