Whether the abbot was a demon or not, or whether what he did was evil, the mere fact that he had become so fat was enough reason for Yan Shouyi to kill him!
Who told him to look like a heart demon?!
"Let me confirm, this thing is indeed the abbot, right?" Yan Shouyi turned to ask the three people.
The three remained tight-lipped, seeming afraid to speak carelessly in front of the abbot. They didn't even dare to nod, only confirming Yan Shouyi's question with fearful eyes.
Yan Shouyi nodded and looked back at the large lump of flesh.
Unexpectedly, the abbot had opened his eyes at some point and was now staring sharply at Yan Shouyi.
Even though the abbot had opened his eyes, his eyelids were so swollen that his eyes could only be narrowed into a slit.
Abbot Hai Xin and the two martial monks were now trembling with fear, daring not to speak.
It was evident that these three monks were very afraid of the abbot. Yan Shouyi wondered what the abbot had done to them to leave such psychological scars.
However, under the abbot's gaze, Yan Shouyi remained calm and composed.
This inevitably displeased the enormous abbot.
The abbot wriggled his huge body and managed to raise his head, asking, "Hai Xin... who is this person?"
Before the abbot could utter two words, he had to pant for breath. Yan Shouyi had witnessed what it meant to struggle even to speak.
Abbot Hai Xin knelt on the ground, his expression troubled. It seemed he couldn't afford to offend either side.
However, after thinking it over, Abbot Hai Xin felt that the abbot was more powerful regardless of how he looked at it, so he chose to stand with the abbot for the time being.
Thus, he answered with a stiff upper lip, not daring to look at Yan Shouyi:
"Abbot, this is a friend of Benefactor Yang, here to help Yang Benefactor return to secular life."
Upon hearing this, the abbot laughed heartily, "Has he paid his Buddhist affinity?"
Abbot Hai Xin shook his head.
Immediately, the abbot's face fell, "If his Buddhist affinity is not paid, on what grounds can he take someone away?"
Although the abbot was questioning Hai Xin, his target was clearly Yan Shouyi.
The abbot sensed that anyone brought before him by Hai Xin must be no ordinary person, but he didn't know how extraordinary this young man before him was.
"This... this..."
Abbot Hai Xin didn't know how to answer and could only furtively glance at Yan Shouyi, hoping he would say something himself.
As a result, Yan Shouyi didn't look at Abbot Hai Xin at all and naturally didn't receive Abbot Hai Xin's "signal," remaining silent for a long time.
Abbot Hai Xin was almost crying with anxiety: Say something! I beg you!
Just as Abbot Hai Xin was about to collapse, Yan Shouyi finally spoke.
He looked impatient and showed no fear of the abbot, saying, "I have only one request: take my friend away. While I'm still in a good mood and don't want to cause trouble, I advise you to release him quickly, or you will face a terrible fate."
If not for fearing exposure of his identity, Yan Shouyi would have already made a move.
Upon hearing this, the abbot's already narrowed eyes narrowed further as he scrutinized Yan Shouyi.
Then, he let out a boisterous laugh, "A mere brat... who hasn't even weaned... dares to talk big... here. When I was... conquering the world back then, your mother wasn't... even born yet! Hahahaha! Hahaha... cough cough cough!"
The abbot choked midway through his laughter. As he coughed, the entire room trembled, as if it might collapse at any moment.
Yan Shouyi watched silently, thinking that even if he didn't act, the abbot probably didn't have many years left to live.
However, taking Brother Yang away was the most important thing right now.
Therefore, Yan Shouyi ignored the abbot's mockery and walked directly towards Brother Yang.
Reaching behind Brother Yang, he grabbed the back of his collar and roughly dragged him out of the room.
At this point, the abbot became angry. He said in a deep voice, "Without my permission, no one shall take anyone away!"
As he spoke, the abbot extended his enormous palm, reaching for Yan Shouyi!
Yan Shouyi turned around, let out a cold snort, and threw a punch!
The abbot's palm could engulf half of Yan Shouyi's body. Yan Shouyi's fist seemed tiny in comparison.
But when the two truly made contact, the abbot felt a terrifying power!
*Pfft!*
Yan Shouyi's fist force pierced through the abbot's palm, coursed through his meridians and blood vessels, and finally struck the abbot's heart squarely!
The abbot instantly felt a piercing pain, nearly making him faint from the agony!
"This is... Tōjin?!" the abbot exclaimed in shock.
The punch was aimed at the palm, but the force landed on the heart. This Tōjin was too bizarre and terrifying!
Yan Shouyi remained motionless, while the abbot retracted his hand as if electrocuted. The difference in strength was immediately apparent.
Seeing this, Abbot Hai Xin's eyes suddenly lit up: If this benefactor could defeat the abbot...
Unfortunately, after gaining the upper hand, Yan Shouyi seemed to have no intention of destroying the abbot directly.
He said coldly:
"I told you, I don't want to cause trouble today. If you release my friend, we'll pretend we never met."
With that, Yan Shouyi turned and left.
He didn't believe the abbot would be foolish enough to confront him directly. For an ordinary person, or tens of thousands of yuan, it wasn't worth it. DaFeng Novel Network
As Yan Shouyi expected, the abbot indeed had no reason to cross him for an ordinary person.
But... the abbot had other plans!
"My senior brother will come to see me tonight. This brat looks capable and knows Tōjin. If I can capture him and hand him over to my senior brother, it would be a great merit!"
"Although his Tōjin is formidable, am I so easily defeated? With a little effort, I don't believe this brat can withstand it!"
"Brat... don't leave!"
Having made up his mind, the abbot took a deep breath and blew a powerful gust towards Yan Shouyi!
The strong wind carried a foul odor that was nauseating. Yan Shouyi's body was pushed forward by the wind for several meters.
Just as he was about to turn back, the ground suddenly cracked, and countless vines, like pythons, burrowed out, tightly ensnaring Yan Shouyi and Brother Yang!
Seeing the abbot make his move, Abbot Hai Xin and the two martial monks quickly fled. They had witnessed the abbot's methods and didn't want to be caught in the crossfire.
"I said, without my... permission, no one shall leave... Si De Temple!"
The abbot's voice was like the death knell from an abyss. With his voice, the vines binding Yan Shouyi tightened even further!
Brother Yang's neck was gripped by a vine, and his face began to turn blue within seconds. If this continued, he would likely suffocate.
Yan Shouyi remained unfazed, instead sighing softly.
If he had known the other party wouldn't let him go, he should have sliced open the abbot's belly while he was still asleep earlier!
However... it wasn't too late to act now!
Yan Shouyi reached out and grabbed at the air, directly summoning the form of a Zanpakutō.
Immediately after, a flash of sword light flickered around him, and the vines that had been coiling around him shattered instantly!
