Monk Puguang seemed to have entered a meditative state. Buddhist monks who focused on cultivating the Way of the Mind often had epiphanies inadvertently. It could be a breeze, a fallen leaf, or even dust. He was in such a situation now. Once he entered the state of epiphany, there was a high probability that his cultivation would increase.
The other three could only wait. In the afternoon, Puguang suddenly opened his eyes. The shining divine light became much more restrained. A cold wind blew, and the skin on his bald head wrinkled inch by inch, forming a bun.
Skanda put his palms together and said the name of Buddha enviously. The bun was one of the 32 signs of Buddha. It was a symbol of the Sage, which meant that Puguang's Buddhist cultivation was only one step away from the Sage Realm.
Ning Henhe raised her head and looked a little surprised. Then she smiled and said, "Congratulations, master, your cultivation has improved again."
As soon as she finished speaking, Puguang suddenly snorted and spat out a mouthful of dark blood. The bun on his head that had been gradually rising gradually receded. His face was pale and his body trembled violently. The golden light in his eyes flickered, revealing a faint black color.
Skanda was shocked and hurried forward to help him. "Senior Brother, what's the matter?"
Puguang raised his head and looked straight at Ning Henhe. He said in a hoarse voice, "What is your Huanzhen Elixir?"
Ning Henhe was puzzled. "Master, didn't I tell you that the Huanzhen Elixir was made by my father by collecting congenital Qi? There is no harm in it. You are a Buddhist monk who is proficient in the Way of the Mind. You should be able to feel it."
Puguang closed his eyes heavily. When he opened them again, he seemed to have aged more than ten years. His eyes were cloudy, his body was weak, and his spirit seemed to have dissipated.
Ning Henhe asked carefully, "Master, did something go wrong with your cultivation?"
Puguang sighed sadly. "Yes, I was just invaded by the power of evil. I didn't expect that there was such a strong evil energy hidden in my body. Alas!"
Skanda frowned. The power of evil spirits, also known as evil energy, was formed by the resentment left behind by the dead. It would haunt the killer for a lifetime. For Buddhist cultivators who focused on emptying their minds, this kind of energy was one of the main reasons for the formation of inner demons. He asked curiously, "Senior Brother, you've been staying in the Heavenly Thunder Palace all this time. How could you be contaminated with evil energy? Could it be that you killed too many fierce beasts yesterday?"
Pu Guang shook his head and remained silent. Buddhist cultivators should belong to the most peaceful kind of people in the world, but they would also have a knot in their hearts, which was karma. Due to the high emphasis on self-discipline, they would instead suppress something deeper, which would cause it to erupt more violently.
When he was young, he had roamed the world for a long time, killing those who should and shouldn't have. He had accumulated a lot of lives. After joining the Heavenly Thunder Palace, he devoutly practiced Buddhism and thought that he had already dispelled all the evil in his body. However, what he had done these days had all violated the main principles of Buddhism. It might be because this had triggered the power of resentment hidden in his body, causing the Inner Demon to invade him.
Ning Henhe smiled and said, "Master, don't worry about it. I'll go to my father in two days and ask for another Huanzhen Pill for you. It will definitely make up for the loss just now."
Pu Guang raised his head and looked at her deeply. He said, "The congenital Qi comes from the beginning of life, so it can make up for the loss of postnatal life. I wonder how Old Benefactor Ning refined it?"
Ning Henhe stopped smiling and said, "Buddhism and Taoism naturally have a long history, but our Dark Sect is not bad either. My father devoted himself to research for hundreds of years and barely recovered some of the inheritance. I don't know the specifics.
Well, have you thought about it?
You don't have to worry too much. We are all part of the Human Tribe. Although the way we do things is different, our purpose is the same. Once we control the Sky Combat Army, we will naturally deal with the fierce beasts in the central area. "
Pu Guang pondered for a while. Just as he was about to reply, his expression suddenly changed. He looked at the sky. In the heavy snow, there seemed to be a black meteor falling toward them.
The other three also felt it and raised their heads at the same time. The black meteor was moving faster and faster. In an instant, they could see the face of the black meteor. It was not a meteor at all, but a person covered in black flames!
No matter if it was a person or a meteor, no one dared to block the sharp edge of such a high-speed fall. The four of them hurriedly scattered.
Ning Henhe did not forget to drag the body on the ground away, but she did not expect that the person burning in black flames would also change his direction and lock onto her. Accompanied by a thunderous sound, a huge blade burning with black flames cut through the void.
The other three people's faces changed greatly. Just the thunderous sound accompanied by the blade made their bodies feel uncoordinated. It was as if their nervous reactions could not keep up with their thoughts. They could not help but pause.
Ning Henhe, who was locked onto by the blade, was even more unbearable. She had just been promoted to a physical master. Whether it was her physical strength or mental strength, she was far from an advanced physical master. She only felt her body stiffen and could not move at all. Seeing that the blade was about to cut through her, she hurriedly pulled out a dark dagger from her waist to meet it.
Pu Guang's reaction was the fastest. With a heavy strike of the staff in his hand, a dazzling golden light shot out and hit the person burning in flames. The person's figure could not help but tilt, and the blade was also deflected by half an inch. It was this half an inch that allowed Ning Henhe to escape death.
"Boom!" With a loud sound, the ground was torn apart by the long and narrow blade, creating a huge gully.
Ning Henhe finally regained control of her body. She retreated and looked at the falling "person" in horror.
The person's entire body was burning in black flames. It was impossible to see his face clearly. Only the pair of ink-black eyes seemed to be burning, emitting a chilling black light that was about a foot long. An incomparably ferocious aura rushed towards them. The ground under his feet turned gray and quickly spread outwards. Wherever it went, the soil and bricks would decay. The snowflakes that were flying in the sky also turned black. The whole world seemed to be withering and withering!
A chill rose in the hearts of the four people. What kind of monster was this?
Pu Guang's mental strength was the strongest. He was not affected by the demonic aura that seemed to be howling in pain outside. He raised his staff again, and another ray of golden light shot out.
The Buddha's Light technique that he cultivated had both the mental and physical levels of power. The physical level had a strong purifying power, which could decompose matter at a minute level. It could also purify energy. The mental level had a strong impact, which could interfere with or annihilate the opponent's mental consciousness. The Buddha's supernatural powers belonged to the power of the Yang, which was abundant and unstoppable.
At the same time, the others also came to their senses and each used their strongest skills to launch an attack.
Skanda pulled out a machete from his back and stomped heavily on the ground. His whole body was covered in a layer of yellow light as he rushed forward. He cultivated the Buddha's physical technique, the Acalanatha Vajra Seal. As long as he was on the ground, his power was almost limitless. At the same time, he could control the power of the earth to defend against the enemy. Because he had fought in the battlefield in his early years, he had mastered a very murderous sword technique. With the power of the earth, he could fight against a complete body of ferocious beasts. As long as his opponent was not a Saint, he was confident in fighting.
Ong suppressed the fear in his heart and opened his mouth to spit out a cloud of shapeless black fog. The black fog quickly dissipated in the air. It was countless Gu worms that could not be seen by the naked eye. Because they were so small, they could ignore most physical attacks. They could easily enter the body of a living being and destroy the life cycle system. Even a physical master would be in danger of dying if he was careless. It was a terrible asymmetric power.
Ning Henhe quickly adjusted her mentality. She clenched the black dagger in her hand and turned it into a faint shadow to attack. Although her cultivation was not comparable to the two Buddhist monks of the Heavenly Thunder Palace, the dagger in her hand was the sacred weapon of the Abyss Temple, called the Abyss Dagger. In terms of level, it was not inferior to the Buddhist sacred weapon, Thunder Ball. Its function was to destroy any energy and at the same time, it could corrode everything. Even the legendary indestructible body of Vajra could not withstand the corrosion of the Abyss Dagger.
