Chapter 32: Kong Xuan Shows His Power

In just a few months, the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect broke through several cities of the Shang Dynasty, attacking until they reached the foot of Zhaoge City. The two sects joined forces, integrated their ranks, and prepared to attack Zhaoge.

"Is there anyone in Zhaoge who dares to fight me?" Qiongxiao ignored everyone's advice and insisted on going forward to challenge them.

"I, this Buddha, will come." After speaking, a half-naked Buddha walked out from Zhaoge. It was none other than Huanxi Fo, who specialized in dual cultivation and had many ways to deal with women, so he walked out immediately upon seeing a woman issuing a challenge.

"This young lady is Qiongxiao. State your name," Qiongxiao said upon seeing the approaching Huanxi Fo.

"I am Huanxi Fo. Little girl, you are truly radiant. I am just lacking a high-cultivation Buddhist practitioner, and you are perfect," Huanxi Fo teased.

"Shameless bald donkey! Today I will let you taste this young lady's power, and see if you dare to spout nonsense again." Qiongxiao had never been teased before; she was instantly overcome with shame and anger, and attacked Huanxi Fo.

Upon seeing Qiongxiao attack, Huanxi Fo activated the Joyous Zen he had created himself. It had a miraculous effect on women, causing their bodies to slowly react, leaving them unable to exert even twenty percent of their magic power and feeling weak all over.

The more Qiongxiao fought, the more she felt feverish and weak. Slowly, after only a few dozen rounds, she was captured by Huanxi Fo. He immediately flew back to Zhaoge City with Qiongxiao.

Kong Xuan, Yunxiao, and the others were shocked to see Qiongxiao captured.

At this moment, another person from Buddhism walked out and said, "I am Dou Fu. Who dares to fight?"

Kong Xuan immediately stepped forward: "I will come to meet the challenge."

Seeing that Kong Xuan had arrived on the battlefield, Dou Fu asked, "May I ask for your Daoist name?" He saw that this person would not be easy to deal with, so he asked.

Kong Xuan smiled, "This poor Daoist is Kong Xuan. Greetings, fellow Daoist. I shall take this round."

Upon hearing this, Dou Fu was immediately shocked; he knew exactly who Kong Xuan was. He took out a Xiangmo Chu, and Lubintou said to Kong Xuan, "Please, fellow Daoist."

Kong Xuan nodded and said nothing more, throwing a punch toward Dou Fu. Dou Fu did not show weakness, brandishing the Xiangmo Chu to meet him, and the two immediately engaged in a fierce battle. Both were disciples under Saints, and their abilities were truly remarkable. As the fight progressed, apart from a few people in the two sects who could see clearly, most disciples could no longer see their figures, only a mass of golden light and a mass of white light colliding with each other.

Although Dou Fu was an outstanding figure in Buddhism, he was still inferior to Kong Xuan. After fighting for a long time, Lubintou was gradually unable to hold his ground. Just as he was feeling anxious, he saw Kong Xuan suddenly withdraw his fist and step back, saying, "Fellow Daoist Dou Fu, your skills are indeed formidable. I have already experienced them, and I would like to experience your magic treasure as well. What do you think, fellow Daoist?" Lubintou was hoping for exactly this, and immediately agreed.

The two put away their weapons, and Dou Fu released his magic treasure, a purple-gold alms bowl. Looking at Kong Xuan, he stood in place empty-handed. Dou Fu asked, "Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan, where is your magic treasure?"

Kong Xuan replied, "I don't need a magic treasure to deal with you. You may attack as you please; I have my own ways to resist." He did not take the magic treasure seriously at all.

Dou Fu was infuriated by Kong Xuan's response. *I kindly warned you, and although you are famous, you don't take me seriously at all. Since that is the case, I will not be polite. * Thinking this, Dou Fu did not care whether Kong Xuan had brought out a magic treasure or not. With a movement of his mind, the purple-gold alms bowl flew toward Kong Xuan. It gradually changed along the way, and by the time it reached the top of Kong Xuan's head, the purple-gold alms bowl was a zhang and a half in diameter, with the bowl mouth facing downward, intending to suck Kong Xuan into the bowl.

Kong Xuan had remained standing in place. Seeing the purple-gold alms bowl reach the top of his head, a flash of red light appeared behind him, and the purple-gold alms bowl vanished without a trace, having been taken away by his Five-Colored Divine Light.

Dou Fu saw that Kong Xuan had not moved and assumed he would surely be captured by the purple-gold alms bowl. He did not expect that after a flash of red light, his own purple-gold alms bowl would be gone. He was greatly shocked in his heart—what kind of magic treasure was this? In his panic, he did not have time to think, and again brandished the Xiangmo Chu to strike at Kong Xuan. He only felt another flash of red light, and the Xiangmo Chu also lost its trace. At the same time, Lubintou felt five rays of light flash before his eyes, his body felt light, and he was no longer in his original spot, having entered another space.

Kong Xuan used the Five-Colored Divine Light to take away Dou Fu's magic treasure and weapon.

In the battle between Dou Fu and Kong Xuan, Kong Xuan had been suppressing Dou Fu. In this test of magic treasures, the people of Buddhism thought that even if they were not a match, it would take a while to determine the winner. They did not expect that as soon as Dou Fu made a move, he would be captured by Kong Xuan in one fell swoop.

Seeing Dou Fu captured by Kong Xuan, Maitreya was also quite shocked. Seeing that Kong Xuan was about to return to the Jie Sect's formation, he hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist, stay your step. Now that you and I each have one person in our hands, why not exchange them?"

The reason Kong Xuan wanted to capture Dou Fu alive was to save Qiongxiao. At this moment, seeing Maitreya take the initiative to propose it, it was exactly what he wanted, and he naturally agreed immediately. With a movement of his mind, he released Dou Fu from the Five-Colored Divine Light, and he appeared before the crowd. Dou Fu's expression was dazed, having been lost in the illusions within, and he had not yet recovered. It took a long while for him to return to normal.

Over there, Buddhism also released Caiyun Xian. Dou Fu knew that it was Maitreya who had saved him and was naturally grateful, but some things could not be said in front of the two armies. He could only nod to him, and he and Qiongxiao returned to their respective formations.

Seeing the situation in the formation, Qiongxiao knew it was Kong Xuan who had saved her, and said to Kong Xuan, "Thank you, Brother Kong Xuan, for saving me."

Kong Xuan smiled, "A small matter, Junior Sister need not take it to heart." Qiongxiao nodded and returned to her formation, and that is all.

Maitreya nodded and said, "The Daoist methods of the Jie Sect are profound, and we admire them greatly. Five days from now, we will set up a formation here. As long as the Jie Sect breaks this formation, our Western Teachings will open the city gates for a decisive battle. How about that?"

"Very well, then we shall wait five days to break the formation," Kong Xuan replied. After speaking, the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect returned to their military camp.

"I wonder what kind of great formation they will set up in five days to be so confident; it certainly won't be easy to break," Guangchengzi said first.

"No matter what great formation they set up, it must be broken. Now is not the time to worry. Let the army rest first, and prepare to break the formation in five days," Kong Xuan continued.

"Very well, everyone go and rest." After saying this, everyone dispersed.
