Monk Kuran’s expression slightly changed, forgetting his lost right leg, he flipped his body and landed in front of the cave to protect the Buddha mother relics.
Only then did he look down at his severed leg, his face extremely grim.
The perfectly good Gluttonous Eating Method, a set of essence-draining cultivation techniques, had been turned into an attack technique by this Dragon Turtle!
That alone was bearable, but it was uncertain whether the Gluttonous Eating Method was more compatible with the Dragon Turtle Tribe or if the Turtle’s magic skill had mutated.
His Gluttonous Eating Method actually bit away at the Origin!
The arm that had been bitten off could not be restored by any means he tried.
With the loss of Origin being the same as a Reverse Cut Root, not even suicide and resurrection could regrow his arm, and now he had another leg to worry about.
He looked at Su He, his eyes narrowing slightly with utter seriousness in them.
This Dragon Turtle was not ordinary, with the Boundary Status of Opening Heaven Three-fold, yet it possessed the combat power of a common Divine God Beast that Open the Heaven Five-fold.
Furthermore, its fighting style was nothing like that of a Dragon Turtle, with no brute force typical of its kind, resorting to vile tricks time and time again.
This kind of opponent was the hardest to deal with.
Especially here in Guiwang Mountain!
Buddhist techniques are thunderous, mostly grand and soul-shaking.
But they could not be used here, for they would reveal one’s position in an instant, diminishing combat power by half.
If it were outside, he would have plenty of ways to subdue this Dragon Turtle.
Monk Kuran, with half his robes flapping and the hem of his trousers cropped, gathered golden-colored blood at the stump of his leg, with Swastika symbols flickering as the flesh retracted and the wound began to heal.
With a terribly pale face, Monk Kuran, however, took a slight breath of relief upon feeling the Buddha mother relics behind him.
As long as the relics were there, nothing else mattered much.
If he could return the relics, the Bodhisattva upon their return would surely grant him a great reward!
A missing limb could easily be restored by the Bodhisattva.
The Monk looked at Su He and stood with one palm before him.
He raised his guard to the highest, chanting the name of Buddha.
The scriptures that came out of his mouth echoed with the relics behind him, the Buddha’s Light on the relics flickered and trembled, then began to float towards the Monk Kuran’s forehead.
Could retrieving the Sharira be as straightforward as seizing any Magical Treasure?
The Sharira is like Buddha, with one Buddha representing an entire world.
What difference is there between seizing the Sharira and picking up a whole world?
Su He shook his numbed head, with the Dragon Turtle Tribe’s Turtle Shell protecting him, the mere Bowl could not harm him, but the ensuing vibrations were unpleasant nonetheless.
Looking at the Monk who began to directly gather the relics, Su He’s mouth curled into a smirk.
How could he let things go so smoothly for him!
Are you trying to forcibly take the Buddha mother relics before me, because you understand Buddha better than I do?
Or understand the Peacock more?
The Gujing Pavilion Buddha’s Son seal on Su He’s forehead flickered, and at the same time, a clear peacock call emanated from his body—a mere sound, unable to reach beyond Fenbao Rock.
But the Sharira floating towards the Monk suddenly paused, hesitating in mid-air, seemingly unsure of where to go.
Monk Kuran’s face changed, looking incredulously at Su He, and then noticed a hint of surprise in the Dragon Turtle’s eyes.
The seal on Su He’s forehead was set by the compassionate masters from Gujing Pavilion Compassionate and Ci Mountain, following the adventure at Feng Zhong, taking advantage of the lingering Buddha’s Outer Garment’s charm.
Initially, it was just to avoid owing the Buddhist any Causality.
Yet, it retained much of the Buddha’s Outer Garment’s charm.
Its rank was undoubtedly much higher than the scriptures chanted by the Monk!
With the seal present, it was strange that he didn’t seize the relics immediately—it was only now that he realized this was how the relics were collected, or else he wouldn’t have appeared at all, opting to snatch them from the air right away.
The seal of Gujing Pavilion on Su He’s forehead flickered, and the Sharira hovered between him and Monk Kuran, fluttering anxiously.
One side filled with Buddha’s charm, the other using the traditional way of collecting, neither could snatch the relics due to the stalemate of their powers.
“Gujing Pavilion!”
A sinister look flashed in Monk Kuran’s eyes.
With a backhand gesture, he summoned the Demon-Subduing Pestle, which he had used to breach the Array of the cave, into his hand, and immediately attempted to strike Su He.
The worlds of the Buddha World and the Four Spirits might not be fatal enemies, but with Gujing Pavilion, it was a fight to the death!
The Buddha World could surrender to anyone except Gujing Pavilion, which harbored no shred of compassion for Buddha World’s disciples!
No wonder that the Dragon Turtle kept ambushing him; it turned out to be a cunning Dragon Turtle from Gujing Pavilion!
Reptile!
Die!
He grunted, as the Demon-Subduing Pestle moved towards Su He.
But at that moment, the Dragon Turtle’s eyes showed dissatisfaction, seemingly protesting the Sharira’s hesitation.
Then, in an instant, the Dragon Turtle transformed, and right before his eyes…
became a Peacock!
Monk Kuran: “!!!”
What had he seen!
What was this creature?
Had the Dragon Turtle been unfaithful, or had the Peacock crossed lines?!
Could a Divine God Beast possibly master the Transforming Beast Guide?!
Given his Boundary Status, he obviously saw at a glance what method Su He, now a Peacock, had used.
But he simply couldn’t accept it!
In the instant of his shock, the Buddha mother relics trembled and seemed to drift towards the Peacock.
Monk Kuran, utterly startled, couldn’t unleash his Demon-Subduing Pestle—in the presence of the Buddha mother relics, it was yet to be determined who was the demon, him or the Peacock.
With this strike, he might well push the relics completely towards the Dragon Turtle.
Dropping the Demon-Subduing Pestle, Monk Kuran formed a seal with one hand and let out a Lion’s Roar, “Amitabha Buddha!
If the Buddha mother does not return to her place, when will she?”
The Sharira trembled violently.
But at that moment, the Peacock let out a cry.
“Ah ao!”
A cry without any meaning.
Yet the Sharira, as if summoned, soared like a shooting star, arcing directly towards the Peacock.
Su He opened his beak and caught the Sharira, swallowing it down.
His body turned and reverted to the Dragon Turtle True Form and he turned to leave.
Monk Kuran’s face twisted rapidly, he reached out for the Demon-Subduing Pestle, launching it as a flash of golden light towards the retreating Su He.
The departing Su He suddenly looked back, External Appearance of Turtle Shell shimmering, and absorbed the attack head-on—clashing was not an option; any loud noise would surely draw Guiwang Mountain’s attention.
