Chapter 225 - 218: Kong Xuan Claps to Death Zhen Yuanzi
The battle between Buddha and demon loomed imminent, the Demon Tribe’s army mobilized, the Buddhist Sect arrayed their forces, and various reinforcements arrived.
Zhen Yuanzi of the Five Villages Temple was situated within the Western Heavenly Buddha Land, and moreover, with his "thunderous reputation" as the founder of the Earth Immortals, he naturally drew attention. Thus, he made a decisive move, instructing his disciples to move the Ginseng Fruit tree to evade scrutiny and prevent any repercussions from this great battle.
During the process of moving, however, they encountered a shower of Five-Colored Divine Light that wrapped itself around the Ginseng Fruit tree, intending to carry it away directly.
Zhen Yuanzi was greatly alarmed, and he certainly wouldn’t allow the Five-Colored Divine Light to take away his Ginseng Fruit tree. The tree was his cornerstone; it was after consuming Ginseng Fruits that he attained his current cultivation level. He had already broken through to become a Great Perfection Daluo Golden Immortal and had become the founder of a sect. Maybe after consuming them for a few thousand more years, he might even advance to the Great Perfection of Primordial Golden Immortal, or perhaps, in a daydream, become a Heavenly Dao Saint.
Right there and then, Zhen Yuanzi flicked his sleeves, ready to deploy the cosmic space within his sleeve to retrieve the Ginseng Fruit tree.
But the Five-Colored Divine Light of Kong Xuan was transformed from the Innate Five Elements Spirit Root, and since the Ginseng Fruit tree was also a transformation of Heaven and Earth’s spirit root, it naturally had a tremendous attractive force with the Five Elements Spirit Root. Moreover, the power of the Five-Colored Divine Light was so great that even Burning Lamp and the others couldn’t defeat it; in the end, it was the Zhun Ti Taoist who had to step in to capture Kong Xuan.
When Zhen Yuanzi waved his sleeve into the Five-Colored Divine Light, not only did he fail to retrieve the Ginseng Fruit tree, but he was also tugged upwards by the Divine Light. As both sides applied force, a crisp "crack" was heard, and Zhen Yuanzi’s sleeve burst open instantly, turning into a sky full of tattered cloth, scattering in all directions.
"Kong Xuan, we have had no grievances in the past or recent times; why do you seek to trouble me!" The Five-Colored Divine Light was once the face of the Peacock Great Bright King, Kong Xuan. Now that Zhen Yuanzi came to his senses, how could he not realize who his opponent was.
While Zhen Yuanzi cursed loudly, he pursued and continuously executed his sword technique, emitting Sword Qi to slash at Kong Xuan.
Kong Xuan’s face was stern as he wore a gold Kasaya and a crown of Five Buddhas. He spread out his fingers and pressed down fiercely, bringing a huge hand seal down. It grasped a bundle of Sword Qi and with a "boom," the Sword Qi exploded within the palm, bursting through the fingers, like launching fireworks.
Kong Xuan spoke indifferently, "Zhen Yuanzi, this battle between Buddha and demon is perilous. I have come just to borrow your Ginseng Fruit tree for a moment!"
