Chapter 424 - 423
Su Yang, having finally managed to repel this unfortunate ghost, steadied himself against the railing and said angrily, "Bald Donkey, if you’re trying to test my martial techniques, why not come down and face me directly instead of senselessly slaughtering the innocent? You constantly speak of the Buddhist Sect’s compassion, yet your actions are cruel and vicious!"
The Monk, smiling amiably, said, "Amitabha. Patron, it is clearly you who are senselessly killing the innocent; how can you falsely accuse this poor monk?"
Su Yang said in a deep voice, "Monks do not lie, Bald Donkey, you spew so much nonsense, are you not afraid that the Buddha Ancestor will punish you?"
Monk: "Amitabha. Every word this monk utters is true; the Buddha Ancestor would only reward me!"
"..." Everyone around was speechless; it was obvious to all that the person on the stage who kept claiming he didn’t want to fight was being sabotaged by this Monk. This Monk kept on making excuses, really treating everyone like fools.
Su Yang’s strength was about to be exhausted, yet he dared not use Devouring the Heavens to absorb the strength of his opponents.
For the strength within these people belonged to the Monk, and it was clear that this Monk was a master of the Terrestrial Immortal Realm, far stronger than Su Yang.
Devouring the Heavens was not without limits; if Su Yang wished to absorb the strength of someone stronger than himself, he first had to consider whether he could endure it. If he couldn’t suppress this strength, it would backlash and ultimately harm him severely.
Su Yang was certain that he could not suppress the strength of a Terrestrial Immortal; if he tried to devour such strength with Devouring the Heavens, it would only put him in jeopardy. Thus, Su Yang could only continue fighting head on.
However, from the looks of it, even this head-on fight would not last much longer for Su Yang.
After fighting three people consecutively, Su Yang’s strength had truly almost run out. By now, he was even incapable of activating Devouring the Heavens; his only option was to find somewhere to meditate and rest as quickly as possible, or his life would indeed be in danger.
