Chapter 99: Single-handedly defeating the good and the evil

Half golden body, half demon head, the combination of gold and red together constitutes a statue that looks like Buddha but not Buddha, like demon but not demon.

On the left side of the Dharma image is the dazzling Buddha light, and on the right side is the gloomy demonic aura.

Anyone who sees such an extremely weird scene would probably feel sick, but the strange thing is that the Dharma images in the scene, while weird, give people a strange sense of harmony.

This is an extremely incredible scene.

As everyone knows, Buddha and the devil have always been two irreconcilable parties. In the world, the two are like the opposition between light and darkness.

But at this moment, the fusion of these two schools of thought actually caused such a strange situation.

Everything should be like this, this is the original appearance of this phenomenon.

A thought unconsciously emerged in the minds of many people, and of course the next second, they were all shocked by their own thoughts.

"It is rumored that there seems to be some relationship between Xie Tiao, the first evil emperor of the Demon Sect, and Dini, the founder of Cihang Jingzhai." Someone spoke in a low voice, revealing a rumor that was unknown in the world.

But after these words were spoken, everyone was silent for a moment.

The Evil Emperor of the Demon Sect and the Patriarch of Jingzhai, this has already involved the deep secrets of the martial arts world.

Cihang Jingzhai and Yingui Sect are the top forces in the martial arts world, both good and evil.

Moreover, they have been fighting endlessly for many years and have been at loggerheads with each other. But now some people say that the ancestors of their two factions, or even the fundamental inheritance of their factions, may have some ambiguous connection.

If this gets out, it will definitely cause an uproar in the martial arts world.

Those who can survive in the underworld may have different levels of strength, but one thing is certain: they are definitely not fools.

This kind of news, whether true or false, even if it is true, will never be acknowledged by the disciples of the two factions.

Especially Cihang Jingzhai, which has always advocated helping the people and is irreconcilable with the evil ways. But now its own ancestor may be related to the biggest devil in the evil ways.

If they heard someone spreading such remarks, the result would be predictable. After all, sometimes the righteous forces kill people more cruelly and ruthlessly than the evil forces.

No one in the field continued to talk about this matter, although at this time the two leading figures of the Buddha and Demon in the field, Ning Daoqi and Li Gong, were both in a fierce battle, and judging from the situation, the outcome of today would not be very good.

But the people from the two factions present were more than just the two grand masters.

The Yingui Sect was fine, with only one saint, Wanwan, appearing.

But on the Buddhist side, there were still a dozen shiny bald heads standing there.

Of course, these people are not disciples of Jingzhai, but are from Jingnian Zen Temple. However, everyone in the world knows that the Zen Temple and Jingzhai are truly in the same boat.

The relationship between Xie Tiao and Dini is not well understood by people in the martial arts world, but Dini and the Zen temple's founder, Tianseng, are real brothers and sisters.

Of course, they didn't dare to comment on other people's ancestors in such occasions.

Many old veterans know very well that although the Buddhist monks’ slogan is “Amitabha” and “Salvation of All Living Beings”, they are actually very petty and offending them is no joke.

However, although no one said it verbally, when everyone, especially Ning Daoqi, saw the two people working together to raise the Dharma image in the distance, an inexplicable meaning arose in their eyes.

"Haha, Ning Daoqi is really being pushed into a corner. He is using Buddhist techniques so openly. Isn't he really afraid of being punished by the Taoist sect?"

"Indeed, although he had an ambiguous relationship with Jingzhai in the past, he was a loner without any sect or school, and he was known as a Taoist master. But now..."

Everyone around nodded at the same time. No matter what happened before, Ning Daoqi was always a Taoist master, and his faction was Taoism, not Buddhism.

Even if the Taoists disliked him, they would never deliberately cause trouble for him because of their friendship with him.

But things are different now. Ning Daoqi openly used Buddhist methods in such a public place. If he had some knowledge of Buddhism and studied the classics, it would not be a big deal.

But the Ning Daoqi in front of him was obviously not that kind of person. His true Dharma body was the foundation of a great master.

The fact that Ning Daoqi evolved Buddha's light through the Dharma-image can only prove one thing: he is already transforming his own fundamental Dafa.

In other words, what Ning Daoqi did at this time was to openly declare that he was going to abandon Taoism and turn to Buddhism.

In this situation, there is absolutely no way that the Taoist sect would sit idly by.

The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is a dispute over the orthodoxy, a dispute over destiny, and even more a dispute over face.

Putting aside other things, a Taoist master who was famous in the world was openly converted to Buddhism. This was a blatant slap in the face of Taoism.

"It's perfectly normal. The current situation doesn't allow Ning Daoqi to hold back. Whether it's Taoism or Buddhism, those are things to be considered later. For him, the most important thing at this moment is how to pass Gao Changsheng. If he can't pass this level, everything will be in vain." Someone spoke up and pointed out the key.

At this time, Gao Changsheng, who was high in the sky, was not in a hurry to chop out the last blow.

His eyes were also fixed on the golden and red Dharma body that was slowly rising below.

Compared to the group of onlookers below, Gao Changsheng undoubtedly knows more and sees things more clearly.

Cihang Jingzhai and the Demon Sect do have extremely close ties.

Before Di Ni became a monk, he was in a relationship with Xie Tiao, the first evil emperor of the Demon Sect.

Xie Tiao received the inheritance from the Heavenly Demon Cang Qu, studied and summarized it, wrote down the Random Thoughts on the Path of Demon, and gave this book to Dini to read without reservation.

Later, the two parted ways. Di Ni entered Buddhism and founded Cihang Jingzhai. The Cihang Sword Canon she created was based on the Demonic Thoughts and was finally accomplished by integrating Buddhist concepts.

So fundamentally speaking, the sword manual of Cihang Jingzhai is the product of the fusion of Buddhism and demons.

Another point is that before Dini converted to Buddhism, he practiced Taoist techniques.

In other words, Di Ni himself was a person who gave up Taoism and turned to Buddhism. This must be the reason why Ning Daoqi made this choice. What he wanted to seek was definitely Di Ni's original cultivation experience or insights.

but……

Thinking of this, Gao Changsheng's eyes showed a little strange.

The fused Dharma image of the two people below has completely taken shape.

At this time, there was no trace of Taoist aura on Ning Daoqi's body, instead, there was a strong Buddhist light.

At first glance, Ning Daoqi stood in the air like a dead tree, with a sense of desolation all over his body.

"Withering, flourishing, and extinction!" Gao Changsheng spoke softly, but there was a mockery in his eyes.

He was not mocking this method. Buddhism could become a major religion in the world, so it naturally has its unique features, just like the path of nirvana before his eyes, which also has its profound mystery.

The only person he was laughing at at this time was Ning Daoqi.

Ning Daoqi did not hesitate to betray his moral principles and seek help from Buddha. What he sought was nothing more than the inheritance of the local Buddhist nun, hoping to use it to break through himself.

But judging from the current situation, Ning Daoqi seemed to have been fooled by Jingzhai's people.

As far as Gao Changsheng knows, Jingzhai's sword canon, from the initial sword realm to the final seclusion and meditation, although there are Buddhist mysteries, the overall emphasis is on stillness and nothingness.

Especially the final sitting in the state of death, which emphasizes the cycle of life and death, and the burst of new life at the point of death. This is also the summary of what Dini has learned in his life.

One is the cycle of life and death, the other is prosperity and decline. They seem similar in general, but in fact they are two completely different paths.

Judging from the method Ning Daoqi displayed at this time, what he practiced did not seem to be the method of Jingzhai, but more like the method of Jingnian Zen Temple.

Gao Changsheng guessed the general situation after a little thought.

Ning Daoqi's situation is extremely similar to that of Dini before he became a monk.

If Cihang Jingzhai really had no reservations, Ning Daoqi might really be able to follow Dini's path and find that chance of breakthrough.

But obviously, that might not be what Cihang Jingzhai wants to see.

So they might be substituting one thing for the other, replacing Dini's method of conversion from Taoism to Buddhism and the fusion of Buddha and devil with the Zen temple's method of nirvana.

It is obvious that Cihang Jingzhai wants to convert a great master into Buddhism without spending a penny.

Thinking of this, Gao Changsheng couldn't help but look at Ning Daoqi with a hint of pity in his eyes.

This old Taoist priest had been searching for a way forward for half his life, even at the cost of betraying his own camp, but he never expected to get such a result in the end.

He was even about to be packaged and sold, but he didn't even realize it.

"It's time, it's almost time to end!" Gao Changsheng shook his head, opened his mouth and uttered a few words, then stood up suddenly.

As he stood up, the entire sea of ​​thunder surrounding his body began to vibrate instantly, and the boundless thunder completely entered a violent state.

The sound of the roiling sea of ​​thunder that resounded through heaven and earth was like angry roars.

The surging thunder surged out like a flood, and the entire sky suddenly lit up.

Everyone's attention was instantly attracted, and even the people in the distant Daxing City raised their heads involuntarily, staring in amazement at the white sword light that spanned the sky and illuminated the world.

"Roar!"

Ning Daoqi and Li Gong roared at the same time, and the two of them overlapped like shadows.

The surging true energy was like a flood that burst from a dam, gushing out madly in all directions.

The half-Buddha, half-demon image in the air suddenly lit up, and a golden and red halo suddenly appeared behind the huge head.

The moment when Ning Daoqi and Li Gong's figures completely disappeared and merged.

The boundless Dharma image suddenly opened its tightly closed lips, and a roar that sounded like a ghost crying or a Zen chant rolled out like a wave.

The whole world was shaken, and everyone was shocked by the sudden sound wave, and they covered their ears in pain. But soon they found that this method was useless. There was no way to block the strange sound with conventional means. Even if they had pressed the ear points, they still couldn't stop the pervasive sound.

Many people with lower skills have already fallen to the ground and started wailing in pain.

Gao Changsheng snorted lightly, stretched out his finger and flicked the blade.

A clear and ethereal sound, like the roar of a dragon or a tiger, suddenly rang out, covering up the surrounding noise.

Countless people recovered from the pain, and then retreated one after another, looking at the sky in fear.

"Roar!"

The golden and red Dharma image let out a loud roar, and a hint of human-like anger appeared on the face of that half-Buddha, half-demon.

The next moment, its hands stretched out at the same time, grabbing upwards with terrifying power.

On the left is the Buddha's palm with golden light and Zen sounds all over the sky, and on the right is a blood-red giant hand with devil clouds rolling and ghost roars all over the sky.

Two giant hands pierced through the void at the same time and clasped their hands together in the center.

And between these two palms was the bright white sword light shining in the air.

Faced with this scene, Gao Changsheng did not make any changes.

The sword moves lightly and the knife is heavy and powerful!
The purple thunder sword technique that Gao Changsheng was using at this time was the best among them.

Every sword move and every move revealed strength and dominance, especially in Gao Changsheng's hands.

It is naturally impossible to change your response midway because of other people's moves.

Facing the amazing hand seal that combined the power of two great masters and integrated the true energy of Buddha and devil.

Gao Changsheng did not show any panic or even surprise from beginning to end. He just opened his mouth slightly and uttered one syllable.

"cut!"

Although there was only one word, the entire sky exploded at the same time, as if the world was echoing Gao Changsheng's voice.

The moment the voice fell, the sword intent that filled the entire place completely erupted.

The pure white blade light rushed down from the sky. The white clouds, the air, and even the sky, everything in front of the blade light was shattered in an instant.

"boom!"

The two attacks collided completely!
The whole world paused at this moment, and everything around seemed to have lost its sound.

There was only a ray of light in the sky that was extremely dazzling and constantly spreading.

Everyone in the field covered their chests with their hands and opened their mouths, wanting to say something.

But no matter how they opened and closed their lips, they could not hear a sound.

The people around were basically the same. Looking around the entire place, there were only mouths opening and closing constantly.

I don’t know how long it took for the ears that were deafened by the huge explosion to slowly recover.

But at this moment, no one had time to be happy, and everyone's eyes were cast towards the sky.

They want to know the outcome of the battle.

"Kacha, kacha!"

Just at this moment, a sound of shattering suddenly rang out.

Everyone was shocked, with surprise in their eyes.

Because at this moment, the sky began to crack, and what was actually caused was the sword-like light that was across the sky.

"It was Gao Changsheng's sword that shattered." Someone exclaimed in shock.

"Ning Daoqi and Li Gong blocked it?"

This result obviously exceeded many people's expectations, but on second thought, it was also reasonable.

No matter what, Ning Daoqi and Li Gong are grandmasters who have dominated the martial arts world for decades.

It is not surprising that the two of them put aside their face and joined forces with all their strength to block Gao Changsheng's sword.

"Stab!"

But just as everyone was talking and waiting for Gao Changsheng's next move.

An even sharper tearing sound suddenly rang out.

Everyone raised their heads unconsciously, and the next second, they saw that the huge statue that almost towered over the sky had been split into two halves at some point.

The original scene of gold and red blending was also completely separated. At the same time, cracks were spreading rapidly on the two separated halves of the Dharma image.

The piercing cracking sound that everyone heard just now originated from here.

"It turns out that Gao Changsheng won!" someone said to himself in sudden enlightenment.

Just as the voice fell, the two Dharma images in the air exploded completely.

Two blood-soaked figures fell from the sky. Everyone looked over and could vaguely make out their faces: Ning Daoqi and Li Gong.

"The two grand masters were defeated!" someone sighed inexplicably.

This result was not unexpected. Since Gao Changsheng appeared, the crushing momentum he displayed had already doomed this outcome.

But no matter what, the ones lying here were two great masters after all. How could anyone who saw this scene not be shocked?

"Duke Qi, Gao Changsheng!"

Looking at the figure standing with his hands behind his back in the sky, everyone's eyes were unconsciously filled with awe.

Gao Changsheng no longer cared about Ning Daoqi and the other man whose lives or deaths were unknown below.

Instead, he slowly turned his head and looked at another place.

Feeling that extremely sharp gaze that was as sharp as a knife, everyone along the way couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

But no one in the entire venue dared to make a sound.

At this moment, there was a person in the field whose heart was instantly lifted up.

Because he found that the gaze in the air moved and looked in the direction where he was.

Cold and sharp eyes fell from the sky, and at this moment he could even feel a sense of tearing coming from all over his body.

"Gu, General Gu, what should we do now?"

Zhao Kai's teeth were chattering and his hands were shaking as he reached around, trying to grab Gu Jiantang's sleeve.

“Gu, Gu…”

Zhao Kai opened his mouth again in a panic, but before he could finish his words, he was choked back.

Because just when he turned around in panic, trying to find the person who could support him the most at this moment, he suddenly discovered that Gu Jiantang's figure had gone a thousand meters away without him knowing.

"I suddenly remembered that I have something important to do, so I won't stay here any longer. I'll be leaving first!"

Zhao Kai grabbed at the air with his hands, but the only response he got was the constant strong wind and Gu Jiantang's intermittent voice.

At this moment, Zhao Kai felt a tightness in his chest and almost vomited blood.

But at this moment, Zhao Kai had no time to think about anything else.

Because out of the corner of his eye, he had already seen Gao Changsheng in the air slowly raising his hand.

The strong wind in the sky suddenly blew back, and the sword intent that made people feel cold all over appeared again, and pressed down towards this place.

"He, he wants to attack me?"

"why why?"

Zhao Kai's heart was pounding. He couldn't understand why Gao Changsheng, whom he had never met before, would suddenly attack him. Whether in terms of strength or identity, he was not up to the mark at this moment!

Of course, Zhao Kai had no time to think about it at this moment.

Because he could clearly feel that the sword intent in the air was becoming stronger and stronger, making him feel as if he was being torn apart.

"No! I can't die here!"

The crisis of death came to Zhao Kai's mind, and he was startled.

"brush!"

A sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard, and Zhao Kai suddenly lowered his body and knelt on the ground, while looking up and shouting:

"Zhao Kai, a descendant of the Liyang royal family, a disciple of Han Diao Temple, a member of the Liyang delegation under General Gu Jiantang, has mistakenly entered here and would like to meet Duke Qi of the Great Sui Dynasty. I beg Duke Qi to show mercy."
