Pawn Crossing the River

It has to be said that the one who knows you best is your enemy.

The grievances between Buddhism and Taoism have been entangled for more than a thousand years. They have been allies and enemies, breaking up and reuniting, fighting and stopping. Until today, Buddhism's penetration and understanding of Taoism is unmatched by opponents like the Holy Court. Although the Holy Court is more powerful, it has only been in the past two hundred years that it has really dealt with Taoism in depth.

Long ago, Buddhism began to pay attention to Qi Xuansu. After all, he was one of the candidates for the future Grand Master. After Qi Xuansu took office as the Master of the Western Regions Dao Mansion, Buddhism increased its investigation of Qi Xuansu, wishing to investigate Qi Xuansu's ancestors for eighteen generations. Especially after Monk Xiao died because of Qi Xuansu, this investigation reached its peak.

Although the Buddhist sect has not been able to find out the deepest details of Qi Xuansu, such as the past of Qi Xuansu and Qi Jiaoyao, after all, even Zhou Mengyao, the person involved, could not figure it out at the beginning, let alone the Buddhist sect, but the superficial things have been clearly found out, such as the relationship between Qi Xuansu and Qi Niang, Qi Xuansu's various experiences in Nanyang and the New World, etc.

What can be done if it is just found out?

The essence of confrontation still depends on the overall strength.

After the outbreak of this so-called conflict, the two successors of the Buddhist sect have all been eliminated, and except for the appearance of Cihang Zhenren, the other two powerful competitors of the three crown princes of the Taoist sect are still sitting on the Diaoyutai, which distinguishes the superiority.

The two successors of the Buddhist sect are both great golden immortals. The advantage of the King of Unconsciousness is that he is relatively young, and the disadvantage is also that he is relatively young. The Peacock King is older than the King of Unconsciousness. The disadvantage is that he is older, and the advantage is also that he is older. This advantage is mainly reflected in the realm of cultivation and experience.

The Peacock King did not conceal his whereabouts, nor did he attempt to ambush Qi Xuansu.

From the situation he had, it was unlikely that this behavior would work. Qi Xuansu seemed reckless, but in fact he was cautious. At least he became cautious enough after he jumped to a high position. Qi Xuansu would not fail to consider the possibility of Buddhist immortals in Chexia Ranch. It would be better to confront them head-on.

The Peacock King strode forward and took out a sword from his sleeve. The name of the sword was "Shufudi".

As the Peacock King himself said, he could not repeat the mistakes of the Unconscious Dharma King. He had to do his best when he attacked.

The blade of this sword was surrounded by colorful light and Buddha's light was faint.

The Peacock King slashed with a sword, and a dark sword intent crossed the space and locked Qi Xuansu according to the cause and effect connection in the dark, making Qi Xuansu unable to avoid it and hiding. It even left a deep mark on Qi Xuansu's chest.

If this was not the place where the "Heart of the Longevity Stone" was, it would have passed through the heart.

This sword intent is not the same as ordinary sword intent or sword intent, it is not based on true essence and true qi, nor is it like the "Six Destructions and One Thought Sword" that focuses on believing in it, and it is even different from Zhou Mengyao's "Heaven Sword".

"Heaven Sword" has two major characteristics, one is the extreme calculation, entering the "Heaven Calculation" state with the state of mind of the Supreme Forgetting Love, and the other is to derive the traces of the Heavenly Dao that have disappeared on the basis of the extreme calculation, and then deduce the changes of the Heavenly Dao, so it is called "Heaven Sword".

This sword has neither calculation nor relevance to the Heavenly Dao. If you want to force it, it is the word "cause and effect".

Although Qi Xuansu and the Peacock King have no cause and effect, Qi Xuansu and Buddhism have a lot of cause and effect. Whether it is Monk Xiao or Bodhisattva Xiao, it can even be traced back to the old monk in Nanyang and Pinru in Fenglinzhou, which have long entangled Qi Xuansu with cause and effect.

It must be said that it is indeed a good sword, and it is indeed difficult to entangle. For most people, this is an unsolvable sword.

Of course, there are also methods in Taoism that are not related to cause and effect, but it is a pity that Qi Xuansu did not learn them. In this regard, Qi Xuansu is indeed a little biased.

However, Qi Xuansu is not completely without means of confrontation. If we talk about cause and effect, he has the "Red Lotus Karma Fire" obtained from Wu Luo. Cause and effect karma has never been separated. Since the Peacock King killed Qi Xuansu with cause and effect, there is also a line of cause and effect between the two.

Qi Xuansu is not an immortal, but he is a pseudo-immortal after all. He is not powerless to fight back against the immortal. He immediately activated the "Red Lotus Karma Fire" and burned back towards the Peacock King along the line of cause and effect.

What is it called to burn yourself with fire?

What is it called to burn incense to attract ghosts?

This is it.

The Buddhist debt is like a mountain. Which Buddhist person does not have karma? Especially the high-level Buddhists, who enjoy the divine power of Buddhism, how can they not bear the cause and effect of the Buddhist debt?

In an instant, the Peacock King felt that his divine power was burned by about 10%.

This is 10% of the divine power of a great golden immortal!

It's not that Qi Xuansu's methods are powerful, but that the Buddhists have too much karma, which is like a powder keg. Qi Xuansu's "Red Lotus Karma Fire" is just a fuse.

In the case of actively setting himself on fire, Kongque Mingwang only lost 10% of his divine power, which has shown that Kongque Mingwang's methods are powerful. If it were an ordinary Buddhist, he would have been burned to ashes long ago.

As a last resort, Kongque Mingwang took the initiative to cut off the cause and effect between the two.

In this way, Qi Xuansu's "Red Lotus Karma Fire" can no longer trigger the karma in Kongque Mingwang's body, and Kongque Mingwang can no longer lock Qi Xuansu through cause and effect.

It's a draw.

Considering that Qi Xuansu is just a pseudo-immortal, and Kongque Mingwang is a real immortal, it's not a big problem to say that Qi Xuansu has won.

"Wu Luo's 'Red Lotus Karma Fire'? It seems that Qi Xuansu has indeed inherited the true teachings of the Yao family. I just don't know how much of the inheritance of the eleven witches Qi Xuansu has obtained?"

The Peacock King no longer drew his sword in the air, and his figure disappeared directly.

Qi Xuansu also took a step forward, leaving the flying boat, and chose to face the Faced Peacock King directly.

The reason why Qi Xuansu did not stand on the flying boat was that he did not want to affect others, and he wanted to step on the ground.

The next moment, the two appeared on the Chexia Ranch.

In Qi Xuansu's field of vision, a line of light lit up, from top to bottom, connecting the sky and the earth, as if splitting the sky and the earth from the middle.

This line was actually the blade of "Xu Fudi".

A simple knife, the fierceness of the attack, although not as good as the sword of the national teacher, but much better than Zhou Mengyao, even without the cause and effect lock, still made Qi Xuansu unable to dodge, and after all kinds of calculations, he sadly found that there was no other way except to face it head-on.

If it was in the air, on the flying boat, then Qi Xuansu would definitely not be able to resist, but Qi Xuansu was now on the ground.

Behind Qi Xuansu appeared ten phantoms, with different shapes, like human and animal. Some have python heads and human bodies with green scales; some have beast heads and human bodies with fiery red scales; some have tiger heads and human bodies covered with golden scales; some have green wings on their backs and bird faces and human bodies; some have human bodies with snake tails and nine arms; some have eight heads and human faces and cow bodies with ten tails; some have bone spurs all over their bodies, like giant beasts; some have human faces and bird bodies, with four flesh wings on their backs; some hold snakes and step on dragons, or catch dragons and hang snakes, corresponding to the Dharmakaya forms of the Ten Witches of Lingshan.

Qi Xuansu made a hand seal, and the ground around him began to rise and fall. Countless mud spread along his legs to his whole body, and then his body quickly became bloated, and the mud quickly solidified into crystal-like stones on his body, like a stone armor.

Facing this knife, Qi Xuansu actually took it. Although his feet sank into the ground and dust and gravel kept falling from his body, the blade only split the stone armor in the end. It was too weak to penetrate the silk cloth, leaving a red mark on Qi Xuansu's forehead and stopping there.

"The Great Wizard of Earth, Wu Peng." Peacock King was a little surprised. It seemed that the relationship between Qi Xuansu and the Yao family was far deeper than the outside world had guessed.

Qi Xuansu certainly didn't want to be beaten passively. Taking this opportunity, he threw a punch.

"Now Posa" of the "Three Worlds Holy Fist".

Two surging fists rose up, the sea was flowing, and the void was shaking.

"Tan Taiyun's fist." Peacock King snorted lightly, and finally used the Buddhist golden body to block this punch.

Peacock King's figure did not shake, but there was a slight fist mark on his golden body.

However, this punch was just a trick. You should know that Qi Xuansu has always been bare-handed. He punches with his right hand, and his left hand is the real killer.

A line of shadow swept across without warning, and at close range, it instantly cut the golden body of the Peacock King.

The wound was extremely thin, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, but there was still golden blood flowing.

Whether the knife is sharp is affected by the front angle of the knife and the material itself. If the knife is made of the same material, the thinner the sharper, the sharper it is, but it is easy to break the blade if it is too sharp, so there must be a trade-off.

The shadow blade used by Qi Xuansu is extremely thin, thinner than the thinnest paper, infinitely close to no thickness.

According to Westerners, the human world is the third dimension, and the boundless mysterious world is the fourth dimension, then this "shadow blade" is the second dimension, with no thickness, so the sharpness of its edge is far beyond any weapon, almost ignoring all defenses at the physical level, and cutting off all things in the world.

For the shadow, whether it is a diamond body or a mortal body, there is no difference.

However, the disadvantage is that it can only cause flesh wounds, that is, physical injuries, which are not fatal. For example, Zhou Mengyao's head was chopped off, and Xiao Bodhisattva was left with only a head, but they did not die. It is impossible to hurt the root from all dimensions like immortal objects. If it is cut by "Su Wang" or "Knock on the Heaven's Gate" or "Three Five Female and Male Evil Sword", it is hard to say.

"Is this... Wu Zhen's 'Shadow Gang Dissociation Divine Blade'? Is it the shadow technique of the Shadow Great Witch?" The Peacock King was finally injured and had to retreat.

However, compared with the injury of the golden body, the Peacock King was more surprised by the witch cult inheritance shown by Qi Xuansu.

Wu Luo, Wu Peng, and Wu Zhen have already demonstrated the magical powers of three great witches.

Will there be a fourth great witch?

Is Qi Xuansu really going to integrate the magical powers of all eleven great witches into one?

If it was just speculation before, then the Peacock King can now be very sure that Qi Xuansu has definitely received the true teachings of the Yao family, or Qi Xuansu has received the core inheritance of the ancient witch cult, not those side branches. Even if someone says that Qi Xuansu is the illegitimate son of the earth master, he still believes it.

No wonder Yao Pei, who has the blood of a great witch, was eliminated in the competition within the Tao. It is literally a small witch meeting a big witch.

Yao Pei is a small witch, and Qi Xuansu is a big witch.
