No taboos in the world

Chapter 538: Sword Formation to Slay Demons

"Since you have asked me to come here, I will do my best to help you. Don't worry, no monster can escape from Lion Camel Ridge today, you just need to guard the nearby areas." After saying that, Hong Chen waved his long sleeves.

The red, black and blue lights fell like a falling meteor, falling to the ground in an instant and enveloping the entire Lion Camel Ridge in a triangle shape.

In an instant, three enormous swords that were as tall as the sky rose from the ground, and the invisible sword energy barrier completely blocked the Lion Camel Ridge.

The brilliant and awe-inspiring sword light is majestic and stirring, and its unparalleled sharpness is captivating.

The three demons at the core of Lion Camel Ridge quickly escaped from the cave, each looking at the sword wall that connected the sky and the earth with horror on their faces.

The Buddhist monks Jie Di and Galan who were hiding nearby also woke up from their shock, revealed their figures, and were about to shout in a hurry.

Without waiting for Hong Chen to make any move, Sun Wukong, who was well prepared, suddenly came to the side of Jie Di Galan, and hit them one by one with the golden cudgel in his hand like playing whack-a-mole. After a series of dull sounds, they fainted and fell to the ground one after another.

Hong Chen gave Wukong a thumbs up, and Wukong chuckled and said, "Xuan Ling, my master and fellow apprentices are still in Lion Camel Ridge."

Hong Chen nodded and grabbed into the air.

Not long after, Tang Seng, Bajie, Sha Seng and the white dragon horse were moved out together.

After standing still, Tang Seng bowed hurriedly and said, "Thank you for coming to help, uncle. I am very grateful."

"No need to thank me, thank Wukong instead. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be here."

Tang Seng looked at Wukong, his eyes full of relief.

But Sun Wukong had no time to look at Tang Seng's expression at this moment. He was looking around vigilantly in case someone suddenly came and destroyed Hong Chen's sword formation, causing the demons in Lion Camel Ridge to escape.

Li Jing, the immortal who was dragged along, looked at the three giant swords and recognized that they were three top-grade innate spiritual treasures. He couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and in his heart, he increasingly regarded Hong Chen as an immortal who should not be provoked.

"Who are you? How dare you act so presumptuously here!"

In the formation, the green-haired lion asked loudly, but he appeared to be fierce on the outside but weak on the inside.

"Oh?" Hong Chen raised his eyebrows: "You don't know me?"

The green-haired lion swallowed.

Of course he knew Hong Chen.

Although Hong Chen debuted relatively late, his identity, background, speed of rise and current status are all unusual.

However, he never expected to meet Hong Chen for the first time in Lion Camel Ridge.

The long-tusked white elephant beside him was more lively than the green-haired lion. He took the initiative to step forward and bowed: "Greetings to the Great Emperor Xuanling!"

Seeing this, the blue-haired lion also saluted.

Only the golden-winged Roc, who was still standing at the back without moving, raised his chin slightly, his eyes full of scrutiny.

When the two demons saw this scene, they didn't even dare to pull him away to persuade him.

"You are more energetic than them." Hong Chen said with a smile.

Dapeng snorted coldly and said, "I know you, a junior from the Three Realms. Although you hold a high position, how strong are you?"

"Haha, you are so arrogant. I heard that Kong Xuan was even more arrogant than you. He dared to take action even when facing a saint, but his ending didn't seem to be a good one."

Dapeng's face was gloomy: "Who do you think you are? How dare you compare yourself to a saint!"

"Of course I dare not compare myself with a saint, but how can you compete with Kong Xuan back then? Since you are so arrogant, let me start with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hong Chen gently raised his hand.

Immediately, the Hongchen Sword, Zhuxian Sword and Juexian Sword flashed sharp cold light at the same time.

Three sword energies of different colors shot straight through space like lasers and shot towards the Golden-winged Roc.

The big peng flapped its wings suddenly, and its figure instantly left the distance and appeared a hundred feet away.

Three sword beams missed.

Dapeng sneered: "Is this all you are capable of?"

"Dapeng's extreme speed is indeed worthy of its reputation." Hong Chen was not annoyed, but nodded with satisfaction.

The more powerful Dapeng is, the higher the upper limit of his little Garuda's future will be. After it eats Dapeng's refined blood and truly grows up, it can also become a good helper.

Thinking in his mind, Hong Chen turned the sword technique in his hand.

Suddenly, a buzzing sound broke out in the entire Lion Camel Ridge.

At the same time, the clear sky in the daytime suddenly darkened, revealing the ancient stars shining brightly all over the sky.

The stars in the Central Yuan, headed by Ziwei Star, are shining brightly, competing for brilliance.

At this moment, all the star gods corresponding to Ziweiyuan in the Heavenly Palace felt it.

When they noticed the person who was drawing the star power, most of them stopped their own affairs and turned to use the authority of star gods to manipulate the ancient stars to help Emperor Xuanling.

Then, countless phantoms of gods suddenly appeared among the stars in the sky. They manipulated the stars to stimulate their light, and greeted Hong Chen with a smile.

They certainly didn't think that they could win the favor or even favour of Emperor Xuanling by just showing up briefly this time.

However, sometimes, your figure can be inconspicuous and drowned among many colleagues, but if you are not drowned by the crowd, you may be remembered by big shots in another way. Of course, this is not a good thing.

Just like now.

Hong Chen couldn't see clearly who was coming, and he was too lazy to remember.

But he knew exactly who didn't come!

The most obvious of them is of course the Lord of Ziweiyuan: Ziwei Emperor.

However, Hong Chen would not bother with Ziwei Emperor. After all, once he set up this majestic and vast Zhongtian Beiji Ziwei Sword Formation, the deal between him and the leader of the Heavenly Court Jiejiao, Dou Mu Xinggong, would no longer be concealed. Maybe someone would even guess his plan for the throne of Ziwei Emperor.

So, they are a vulnerable group now, and they might be throwing bottles in the Ziwei Palace right now, so why bother with them?
The vast starlight was drawn in and transformed into endless sword light.

The endless time and space are shaking, falling like a torrential rain.

In a flash, all the little demons in Lion Camel Ridge were killed.

Their souls should have been led to the underworld through reincarnation.

But in front of the supreme Emperor Xuanling of the underworld, the order, rules, processes and authority of the underworld are inferior.

Hong Chen took out the Xuanling Beiyin Banner, and the black banner fluttered in the wind, making a rustling sound.

Forty-eight thousand demon souls immediately gathered into a long dark river and flowed into the Beiyin Banner, transforming into lifelike and exquisite embroidery with different expressions on the banner.

Most of these tens of thousands of little demons are elite, and there are quite a few with cultivation bases equivalent to those of gods. Therefore, Hong Chen could clearly feel the strengthening of the Xuanling Beiyin Banner.

He suddenly thought that some souls in the underworld always naturally perish in the eighteen levels of hell or the Yellow Spring River, leaving only the pure and flawless original true spirit.

Instead of wasting it like this, it would be better to make some contribution to his Xuanling Beiyin Banner.

After all, the stronger the Xuanling Beiyin Banner is, the stronger he, the Xuanling Emperor, is, which is also equivalent to the stronger the underworld is.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Hong Chen immediately held the banner in both hands and pulled it left and right, and he pulled out a "clone" of the Beiyin Banner on the spot. He threw the banner into the Xuanling City in the underworld, and those souls that were about to be annihilated would be transferred to the Beiyin Banner.

Falling into the Beiyin Banner is not a relief, but the beginning of another suffering.

Of course, for the sake of the order of reincarnation, such suffering is not permanent.

Hong Chen set up: After serving his sentence for ten epochs, he could be released from the Beiyin Banner and return to reincarnation.

This is much better than directly destroying the soul. Such a kind act is worthy of being the Supreme Xuanling Emperor of the Underworld.

Let’s talk about Lion Camel Ridge.

In addition to the souls of 48,000 little demons, there are also many wronged souls and evil ghosts staying here. They are all human beings who were skinned, boiled, and eaten on Lion Camel Ridge.

At this moment, all the little demons that killed them disappeared, and their souls were finally freed.

Then, souls all over the mountains and plains rushed out like a flood, including men, women, young and old, without shortage of any one.

When Tang Monk saw this, tears suddenly welled up in his eyes. He sat down on the ground, clasped his hands together and began to recite scriptures.

Wukong gnashed his teeth and looked angry. Bajie and Sha Seng also wanted to pick up their weapons and rush in to kill the three demons on the spot.

Hong Chen sighed and released the Xuanling Samsara Disk.

The Xuanling Wheel of Reincarnation hanging high in the sky rotates slowly, connecting with the Six Paths of Reincarnation Wheel, a treasure hidden deep in the underworld. It directly skips many processes in the underworld and sends them into the six paths to reincarnate.

Part of the evil and karma from the tragic deaths of these human beings fell on the three great demons, and the other part was directly transferred to Buddhism.

Perhaps Buddhism, taking advantage of its current momentum, can ignore the attacks of these evil karmas, but Buddhism must also allocate a portion of its fortune to compensate these human souls in order to balance cause and effect.

This is the order and rules that govern the operation of the three realms.

This is also the Tao.

When Hong Chen sent his soul into reincarnation, the power of the Zhongtian Beiji Ziwei Sword Formation also descended upon the three demons.

The cultivation levels of the green-haired lion and the long-tusked white elephant were the same. They soon could not withstand the destruction of the sword formation and fell to their knees one after another, begging for mercy loudly, and even mentioned what happened in the past again, hoping to save their lives from Hong Chen.

The tusk-covered white elephant spoke first: "Great Emperor! I was originally the Lingya Fairy, one of the Seven Fairies of Jiejiao. I served you for many years, but later my luck turned bad and I was abducted by the Buddhist sect. I was bullied and oppressed, and I had no choice but to become Samantabhadra's mount!"

The green-haired lion followed up by saying, “Great Emperor! I was originally the Qiu Shou Immortal among the Seven Immortals of Jiejiao… and became the mount of Manjusri!”

The tusk-toothed white elephant said again: "What happened at Lion Camel Ridge was not what we wanted. It was really because the Buddhist sect bullied us too much and threatened us with our lives. We did not intend to harm or eat people! We beg the emperor to have mercy on us and forgive us. If you can save us from the sea of ​​suffering, my two brothers will follow you until death!"

The blue-haired lion nodded frantically.

However, Hong Chen turned a deaf ear to this and instead moved his sword fingers around, speeding up the strangling process in the sword formation.

In just a few breaths, the magic weapons used by the blue-haired lion and the long-tusked white elephant for self-defense were shattered one after another by the sharp edge of the three top-grade innate spiritual treasures. Before the two could even open their mouths, they were strangled by the sword formation. After their bodies fell to the ground, their huge lion-elephant forms were immediately revealed.

Similarly, Hong Chen put their souls into the Xuanling Beiyin Banner. The patterns of the green-haired lion and the long-tusked white elephant on the banner were several times larger than those of other monsters.

The last remaining golden-winged Roc was not having a good time either.

The extreme speed of Dapeng, which he was proud of, was of no use in the tightly sealed sword formation, because no matter where he escaped, the sword energy was everywhere!
Dapeng's golden feathers did not appear to be very hard under the red, black and blue sword energy, because these three swords themselves represented the pinnacle of the sword arts in the three realms of the prehistoric world. Therefore, although Dapeng continued to fight with the surrounding sword energy and used various magical powers one after another, he still ended up with a bald and bloody body.

"Hong Xuanling! Do you really dare to kill me?!"

Dapeng roared, fear beginning to show in his eyes.

Hong Chen had a blank expression on his face and watched quietly.

"Do you know who I am? I am Tathagata's uncle!"

"Ah……"

A light laugh sounded extremely harsh to Dapeng.

He suddenly changed the subject: "What do you think Lion Camel Ridge is? It was a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood arranged at the request of the Buddhist sect! If you want to avenge the human race, you should fight on Lingshan Mountain. Why make things difficult for us!"

After these words were spoken, Wukong, Bajie and Sha Seng all looked calm, as if they had already guessed it.

Only Tang Seng was shocked and began to refute.

"You monster, how rude! Buddhism is a place of compassion, saving all living beings and cherishing all spirits. How could we allow monsters like you to kill and harm lives and commit endless evil!"

Dapeng burst into laughter upon hearing this: "Hahaha! Jin Chanzi! I didn't expect you to become so naive after reincarnation! No! It's stupid! Who do you think arranged the disasters for you on your journey to obtain the scriptures?!"

"you……"

Tang Seng's pupils trembled violently and he was speechless for a moment.

Hong Chen: "Dapeng, you should know that the more you talk now, the faster you will die."

“Hahaha, just die! Ever since I entered Buddhism, I have been no different from death! It’s a pity that I haven’t indulged myself enough on Lion Camel Ridge yet, and I have attracted an alien like you! Just wait! My brother will avenge me!!”

The final threatening sound reverberated through the long space.

The blood-stained body of the Dapeng also fell from the sky. The huge monster body, which was thousands of feet long, crushed dozens of mountains and splashed countless smoke and dust.

The soul of a unruly Dapeng was absorbed by the Xuanling Beiyin Banner, and finally the golden Dapeng pattern occupied the center of the banner, and its size was also the largest.

"Amitabha!" Tang Seng kept chanting the Buddha's name, and it was obvious that he was not calm yet.

Sun Wukong leaped forward and said, "Well done, Xuanling! I owe you a huge favor!"

"Okay, next time I ask you for it, don't say you forgot." Hong Chen smiled.

Sun Wukong waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no!"

Hong Chen nodded, then waved his hand and collected the bodies of the golden-winged Roc and the long-tusked white elephant.

The golden-winged Roc promised to treat Garuda with food.

The two tusks of the long-tusked white elephant were obviously not ordinary stuff.

In other words, for the demons or humans who have cultivated to this level, everything on their bodies can actually be considered a treasure.

However, the collection value of lion skin is always lower than that of tiger skin. Besides, Hong Chen killed two Jiejiao immortals at one time, so he should at least send one to Jiejiao as a token of appreciation.

Moreover, Hong Chen felt that after he sent it, Jiejiao would soon return the body of the green-haired lion, and might even give other gifts along with it.

After all, this was to eliminate a traitor for their Jie Religion.

"Okay, now that this is done, you can go on your way."

Hong Chen picked up the body of the green-haired lion and turned to leave.

Wukong caught up with him, his face showing worry: "Xuanling, this time it's going too smoothly, no one came, I always feel uneasy."

Hong Chen smiled and glanced towards the west, saying, "It's not that they don't want to come, but they don't know how to convince me if they come."

Wukong suddenly realized and switched to voice transmission: "Are they watching?"

“I was watching the whole thing.”

"Aren't you in trouble then?"

"It doesn't matter. You don't need to worry about me. In fact, even if today's incident didn't happen, they would have troubled me sooner or later."

"Huh? Why is this?"

"It's a long story, and it's not easy to explain. Just relax. If you need help, I will come to you."

"That's good. It seems that I have to practice hard. The closer I get to the sacred mountain, the weaker I feel. If I become a Daluo Jinxian, I don't believe that these demons and monsters will dare to be so bold and presumptuous!"

"Well said! When you break through to the Golden Immortal Realm, I will prepare a feast for you in the Xuanling Imperial Palace and entertain the three realms!"

"Okay! Good brother!"
