"Stop!"
Although Yan Shouyi had not yet recovered his ability to move, he could still open his mouth.
He seemed to have made a difficult decision: "In ancient times, Tathagata cut flesh to feed eagles. Today, Yan Shouyi will sacrifice himself for righteousness! What Abbot Yansong did to you was wrong, but one life for another, I am willing to use my life to save Abbot Yansong's life!"
Godfather, you can't die! If you die, I'll never be able to wash myself clean even if I jump into the Yellow River!
Miaohua glanced at Yan Shouyi and sneered: "It's rare for you to have such awareness. If I didn't know this was a clone, I would truly be moved."
Yan Shouyi: "..."
Damn it, Miaohua knew?
This was really awkward.
He must have overheard him when he confessed to Abbot Yansong just now.
Miaohua held up the six-ringed staff, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes:
"What Abbot Yansong did to me, ten lives are not enough to repay. I will kill him first, then kill your clone, Yan Shouyi, and then pursue your true body... Don't worry, none of you will escape!"
Why is this my business again!
Yan Shouyi complained in his heart. You're killing Abbot Yansong for revenge, but why are you killing me?
Just as Miaohua was about to pierce Abbot Yansong's head, Yan Shouyi's inner demon began to resist and break free.
In an instant, he regained his ability to move.
But Miaohua's six-ringed staff had already stabbed towards Abbot Yansong!
*Clang!*
A deafening sound echoed. Golden Buddhist light shone around Abbot Yansong, enveloping him with powerful energy, directly repelling the six-ringed staff!
As Yan Shouyi regained his mobility, Abbot Yansong was also able to resist. At the most critical moment, he used his Golden Body of Buddhism to block the fatal blow.
To prevent Miaohua from making another move, Yan Shouyi kicked Miaohua away for over ten meters.
"Miaohua, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha!" Yan Shouyi admonished.
Miaohua sneered: "You speak of precepts in front of a Chan monk? Amitabha, one must not fight!"
Miaohua's power of precepts took effect. Yan Shouyi suddenly felt no will to fight, only wanting to lie down. Even if Miaohua killed him now, he wouldn't want to resist.
The terrifying thing was that Miaohua's power of precepts was very strong this time. Even though Yan Shouyi's inner demon tried its best to resist, it couldn't recover instantly like before!
"Finally, I don't have to hide it anymore!!"
Miaohua spread his arms, surrounded by black mist, his lips turned bluish-purple, the corners of his eyes darkened, and his eyes were blood red, looking extremely evil.
This was Abbot Yansong's evil thoughts taking the lead. The strength of his evil thoughts was no weaker than Abbot Yansong's!
"Godfather, can you still get up?"
Yan Shouyi felt that he was no match for Miaohua and quickly turned to ask Abbot Yansong.
At this moment, Abbot Yansong was weakly getting up from the ground, blood flowing from his forehead into his eyes. Even if Abbot Yansong passed away in the next second, Yan Shouyi would not be surprised.
"Miaohua..."
Abbot Yansong clasped his hands together, not intending to attack, but trying his best to persuade him:
"It was all my fault. I should have eliminated my evil thoughts long ago, but because my good thoughts had made a vow not to kill, I could never take action... You should blame me... you should..."
"Godfather, what time is it? Don't blame yourself first!" Yan Shouyi shouted, "At least I am innocent! Can you lend a hand and save me?"
"He won't make a move!" Miaohua sneered. "If he could make a move, he would have done so long ago. Now, if Yansong kills me, his vow will be broken immediately, and he will fall into the Asura realm, making the situation even worse. Only one invincible Asura will appear in the world!"
Damn it!
Yan Shouyi, who had been expecting Abbot Yansong to make a move, quickly stopped him:
"You should just rest, Godfather. I'll spar with Miaohua!"
Abbot Yansong nodded slightly: "You've worked hard."
Alas!
It's not hard work, it's a bitter fate.
Yan Shouyi forced a smile and then turned to face Miaohua.
Miaohua sneered dismissively: "You are no match for me."
"Then what can I do? I have to fight even if I can't win."
Yan Shouyi helplessly took out the Ancestral Dragon Sword.
After a moment of hesitation, he took out the Zanpakuto.
Ancestral Dragon in his left hand, Zanpakuto in his right!
Miaohua's current state was unclear whether he was human or demon, so Yan Shouyi simply took out both weapons.
This was, by far, the most powerful enemy Yan Shouyi had faced besides Huo Ban!
Unfortunately, Yan Shouyi could not use the Ancestral Dragon Sword to directly sever Miaohua's karma.
Because once Miaohua's karma was severed, it would inevitably implicate Abbot Yansong, and Abbot Yansong would die as well.
"Here I come."
Yan Shouyi uttered two words, and his body suddenly disappeared from its original position.
Golden Light of Vertigo!
Behind Miaohua, Yan Shouyi's figure suddenly appeared, and he fiercely slashed at Miaohua's neck with the Ancestral Dragon Sword in his left hand.
Miaohua neither dodged nor blocked. Golden light shone around him, and he shouted, "Golden Body of Buddhism, Immovable as a Mountain!"
*Clang!*
The Ancestral Dragon Sword struck the golden body, but it couldn't even scratch Miaohua, let alone break his golden body!
But Yan Shouyi did not give up. He turned and swept his Zanpakuto at Miaohua's lower body.
The Zanpakuto instantly ignited with scorching Li Fire, and the flames drew a blazing sun in mid-air.
*Slash!*
The Zanpakuto actually broke the golden body, with half of its blade sinking into Miaohua's thigh, and the scorching Li Fire instantly ignited his pants!
This was considered spell damage, so the golden body was useless!
Miaohua lowered his head, his face filled with rage, and he slapped Yan Shouyi, shouting:
"Amitabha, Forbidden Action!"
Yan Shouyi seemed to have been struck by a immobilizing spell, his body unable to move. He could only watch as Miaohua's palm struck him!
*Boom—*
Yan Shouyi's left shoulder suffered a heavy blow, as if a bomb had exploded on him. His entire left shoulder disappeared!
*Clang!*
The Ancestral Dragon Sword also fell to the ground.
The power of precepts disappeared. Heavily injured, Yan Shouyi quickly retreated.
If this body were the Tian Sha Corpse Puppet, it would probably be regenerating severed limbs by now. But unfortunately, this was the Glacier Dharma Body, which could only be manually repaired by Yan Shouyi's true body.
Now that it had suffered a heavy blow, the Glacier Dharma Body's combat power was greatly reduced.
"I told you, you are no match for me!"
Miaohua's face contorted, and after repelling Yan Shouyi, he lunged towards Abbot Yansong again!
"Presumptuous!"
At the critical moment, the main hall door was suddenly kicked open, and three figures rushed into the hall!
It was Yan Shouyi's true body, Chang Shan, and Abbot Ben Heng, who had been guarding outside!
Abbot Ben Heng immediately saw the situation in the hall. Seeing that Miaohua was actually trying to kill Abbot Yansong, he became furious!
"Amitabha, Forbidden Killing!"
A powerful force of precepts began to restrain Miaohua. The murderous intent on Miaohua's face subsided slightly, and his movements became sluggish.
However, the hatred in his heart made Miaohua resist the power of precepts with all his might, still approaching Abbot Yansong!
