No blade was seen, yet there was blade qi?
The Abbot's complexion changed, his squinting eyes straining to widen.
This move alone made the Abbot regret that he seemed to have provoked someone he shouldn't have today.
But now, the arrow was nocked and the string drawn; the Abbot had no way back. All he could do was his best to capture this brat, and then thoroughly dig into the secrets he held.
However, the Abbot noticed that Yan Shouyi was holding a black long saber.
The blade of the long saber was covered with faint blue cracks, as if it had been broken and reassembled. The cracks emitted light, as if containing brilliant stars.
“This saber… I think I’ve seen it somewhere… No, no, no… I’ve definitely never seen this saber… but why is it so familiar?”
The Abbot frowned, thinking. But perhaps because he was so fat that his brain was filled with nothing but fat, the Abbot's memory wasn't very good, and he couldn't recall the origin of this saber.
While the Abbot was pondering, Yan Shouyi had already moved.
He set down Brother Yang, who was still unconscious, held the Zanpakuto in his hand, turned around, and walked slowly, step by step, towards the room where the Abbot was.
“The tree desires stillness, but the wind does not cease. Now it’s done, no one will have peace,” Yan Shouyi said coldly.
The Abbot, snapping back to reality, suddenly shivered.
The young man, who was smaller than his own palm, now had cold eyes, revealing a terrifying killing intent. This killing intent was something the Abbot had never seen before!
He dared not be negligent and quickly shook his body.
His fat jiggled from side to side, making “patta patta” sounds, and then, from the Abbot’s body, countless snakes, insects, rats, and ants fell out!
These snakes, insects, rats, and ants were all five times their normal size. The largest rat was no different from a small black dog, its eyes as big as longan fruit, and its tail thicker than a water pipe!
Countless snakes, insects, rats, and ants lunged at Yan Shouyi. For an ordinary person, this would have been enough to scare them into fleeing in panic.
But Yan Shouyi simply swung his saber nonchalantly, unleashing a crescent-shaped blue blade qi.
The blade qi struck the ground in front of the snakes, insects, rats, and ants, and instantly froze the ground, which had been drenched by the heavy rain!
A rat rushed onto the ice and was instantly eroded by the cold, freezing into a block of ice, still in a running pose!
The next second, the cold air spread, and all the snakes, insects, rats, and ants were instantly frozen, all becoming ice sculptures!
Yan Shouyi walked forward, ignoring the ice sculptures on the ground, and with one stomp, the ice sculptures shattered.
“Bastard…”
The Abbot became anxious and started scratching his head, incessantly scratching!
His large, bald head was scratched with bloodstains, and finally, it was even broken by his sharp nails. Then, countless maggots crawled out of the wounds!
The maggots fell to the ground with squelching sounds and burrowed into the soil. Before long, long, thin red lines emerged from the earth. As soon as they poked their heads out, they suddenly exploded, transforming into countless red threads that continuously spread outwards…
In the blink of an eye, the entire courtyard was contaminated with crimson, which even spread to Yan Shouyi's feet, instantly corroding and melting the ice sculptures of snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
Yan Shouyi, unsure of the depth of this thing, instinctively took a few steps back, then suddenly stomped on the ground!
*Boom——*
The ground trembled, and then one hundred and eight layers of a compass appeared!
“Shang Men! Li Huo!”
Yan Shouyi uttered a low shout, and the compass spun rapidly, finally aligning Shang Men with the Li Huo trigram, pointing towards the room where the Abbot was!
The next second, the formation erupted in fierce flames!
“Fire… Fire!!… Extinguish it quickly!!”
The Abbot seemed to be very afraid of fire, so afraid that he actually got up, crashed through the house, and scrambled out in a panic.
The house instantly collapsed, knocking over the incense burner. A shower of incense ash rose into the sky, and the red threads on the ground were instantly devoured by the raging fire.
Freed from the flames, the Abbot looked dishevelled.
He had already unleashed several moves, but they were all easily resolved by Yan Shouyi.
Who was this brat?!
How did he have so much skill?!
Outside the courtyard, three bare heads poked out.
When Abbot Haixin saw Yan Shouyi still fighting spiritedly in the Abbot’s hands, hope ignited in his eyes.
He said to the two martial monks, “This benefactor is no ordinary person. Perhaps he can defeat the Abbot and help us escape this sea of suffering!”
However, the martial monk said in a low voice, “Abbot, don't you forget, there are people above the Abbot…”
Abbot Haixin’s face suddenly turned ashen.
Yes, what use was it to defeat the Abbot? There was still someone behind the Abbot…
In the courtyard, Yan Shouyi still held his saber, walking unhurriedly towards the Abbot.
At this moment, the Abbot had already started to panic.
Don't come any closer, don't come any nearer!
The Abbot was extremely anxious but had nowhere to retreat. In a fit of rage, he raised his large hand again and slapped towards Yan Shouyi!
An ordinary person absolutely could not withstand this slap; they would even be crushed into a pulp!
Just as the palm was about to hit Yan Shouyi, a flash of saber light suddenly appeared.
Afterward, all five of the Abbot's fingers were severed. The remaining palm landed precisely in front of Yan Shouyi.
It didn't harm him in the slightest!
But the next second, new fingers rapidly grew from the Abbot's severed palm!
Taking advantage of Yan Shouyi's inattention, he grabbed Yan Shouyi tightly in his palm!
“Hahaha! Didn’t you expect it? You can also capsize in the gutter!”
The Abbot, holding Yan Shouyi, was extremely excited. “Brat, you know nothing about me!”
Yan Shouyi, who was caught, appeared incredibly calm.
He replied, “You know nothing about me, either.”
The Abbot’s laughter abruptly stopped. He stared at Yan Shouyi and suddenly had an ominous premonition.
He didn't want Yan Shouyi to live any longer. This guy was too strange; it was best to crush him!
After crushing him, he could extract his soul and still have him at his beck and call!
The Abbot suddenly exerted force, intending to crush Yan Shouyi in his hand.
But then, a layer of golden Buddhist light suddenly enveloped Yan Shouyi.
This Buddhist light not only made Yan Shouyi's body incredibly hard but also began to burn the Abbot's palm!
“Ah!”
The Abbot screamed, unable to bear the burning sensation, and threw Yan Shouyi away.
“You… You are… Golden Buddha Body?!”
The Abbot couldn't understand. This young man had so much killing intent, used a saber, knew Qimen Dunjia, and now used the Golden Buddha Body.
What was his origin?!
Suddenly, the Abbot seemed to recall something.
A memory, which he had cast aside and previously paid no attention to, surfaced.
A black long saber, blue cracks, knowledge of Qimen Dunjia, and the Golden Buddha Body… and such heavy killing intent.
It seemed there was someone who fit these characteristics!!
A name surfaced in the Abbot’s mind, but he dared not utter it, for he feared that if he spoke the name, he himself would suffer a terrible fate.
“It… it was you…” he said, his face filled with terror.
Yan Shouyi blinked, his remaining eye looking at the Abbot. “I told you long ago, it’s better to avoid trouble than to seek it. You brought this upon yourself.”
