Chapter 213: Heavenly God Hongyi

At this moment, the attitude of these three people made Jinchanzi realize that any further forbearance was useless.

"Fine! I had intended to endure for a moment for the sake of peace and take a step back for the sake of a wider sky. But since you force me to the point where I can endure no more, then what use is there in enduring you!"

As he spoke, a stern and cold expression bloomed upon Jinchanzi's youthful face, and his pupils momentarily overflowed with astonishing, brilliant Divine Radiance.

"If you want to kill my disciple, you'll have to step over my corpse first if you have the ability!"

He pressed his palms together and stepped forward slowly; the mana within his body surged and billowed, causing his robes to snap violently, and an aura of slaughter instantly permeated the air.

"Golden Body Descent!"

Following a soft shout from Jinchanzi, a vigorous and brilliant aura erupted from within his body and shot into the sky, causing thick golden thunderclouds to explode into existence in the void above his head.

Amidst those golden thunderclouds, lightning intertwined, and the sound of crackling electric arcs was enough to shake one's heart and lungs.

"Boom, crack—"

Following the roar of a thunderclap, a Golden Body Dharma Image exploded out from the golden lightning, its entire body wreathed in dazzling, eye-catching lightning arcs, leaving anyone who saw it with a sense of shock that was both reverent and fearful.

"Lao Tuzi..."

Mengchen looked at Jinchanzi, who was facing the three members of the Western Sect with an air of great majesty, and his eyes instantly reddened, hot tears seemingly about to well up.

Qingyi, standing beside him, could not help but look on with surprise; she stared at Mengchen in this moment, unable to stop herself from sighing in her heart.

"A man does not shed tears easily, only when he has not reached the depths of true emotion. This is the first time I have seen the sentimental side of this scoundrel. It seems the bond between them is stronger than gold, surpassing that of father and son."

Mengchen watched as Jinchanzi's expression gradually changed; he slowly revealed a joyful smile and mused in his heart: "Lao Tuzi, it's so good to have you! Your little bald thief has grown up! This sky above our heads should now be supported by me."

"Grandmaster! Master! Xiaohuang requests to fight!"

At this moment, Xiaohuang stepped forward, a fearless expression appearing on her beautiful and moving face, her red clothes burning like blood.

"And me!"

"Mengchen! Although our first meeting was unpleasant, the various things we have experienced together over these years have made me recognize you as my big brother in my heart!"

"Anyone who dares to speak of killing my big brother shall be suppressed and killed."

Heizi also followed closely behind, his entire body erupting with dense black light, his pair of pupils also turning as black as ink, deep and terrifying.

"I, Xiyao, have no family left in this world. Now, Senior Brother Mengchen, you are my only one. Whether in life or death, for the rest of my days, Xiyao will follow you through life and death."

Xiyao stepped lightly with bare feet, her lotus steps shifting; the copper bells on her ankles emitted sounds like heavenly music. Her white clothes made her look as ethereal as an immortal, and her exquisite, peerless face appeared so tranquil.

"Since that is the case, then suppress and kill them all!" The three Western Sect disciples saw this and shouted in unison.

"Then come! Let's see who suppresses and kills whom first."

At this moment, Jinchanzi no longer retreated, becoming incomparably firm.

Listening to the words of Heizi, Xiyao, and Xiaohuang, Mengchen was deeply moved; with them by his side, he had no regrets in this life.

At the same time, Mengchen's mind was clear; although the three before him were Western Sect disciples, they could not truly represent the will of the Western Sect Leader or the entire Western Sect, so it had not yet reached the point of total despair.

Currently, the auras of Heizi and Xiaohuang were concealed by Gangzi, and even the Western Sect Leader did not know their identities as Ten Fiend Descendants, so their identities must absolutely not be exposed here.

Thus, Mengchen had to shout to stop them: "All of you, stand down!"

Immediately after, he transmitted his voice to the three of them, soothing them: "Heizi, Xiaohuang, no matter what, you must not make a move. If you do, your identities as Ten Fiend Descendants will inevitably be exposed, and that will only make our situation even more precarious."

"And Xiyao, your intentions move me deeply, but how could I bear for anything to happen to you? Rest assured, we have not yet reached the point of total despair."

Heizi, Xiyao, and Xiaohuang did not speak, but they understood Mengchen's considerations, and thus each of them restrained their surging auras.

At the same time, they secretly swore in their hearts that if it truly reached a point of no return, they would no longer care about such things.

"And you, stand down as well. I am not dead yet, and it has not reached the point where you need to risk your life." At this moment, Mengchen turned to look at Qingyi, his words full of an overbearing aura.

Hearing this, Qingyi was stunned; she cast a surprised look at him, then coldly replied: "I don't need you to worry about me!"

"Whether you acknowledge me as your husband or not, I have already decided that you are my wife," Mengchen said, gazing at her affectionately.

Then, without waiting for Qingyi to offer a rebuttal, he moved as fast as the wind, stuffed the Purple Dragon Lotus in his hand into hers, immobilized her figure, and pushed her toward Xiyao and the other two.

"Keep an eye on her!"

After saying this, Mengchen stepped forward and walked toward Jinchanzi. As he walked, he opened his Cave Heaven fully; shrouded in golden light, he was like a true Buddha, his vast mana boundless and surging.

"You..."

At this moment, although there was obvious anger on Qingyi's face, she could not muster even a shred of real fury in her heart.

On the contrary, looking at that back, she felt a different kind of sensation, one that made her feel incomparably fulfilled.

"Lao Tuzi! Today, let us join forces to suppress and kill these three fellows who don't know the immensity of heaven and earth." Mengchen arrived and stood shoulder to shoulder with Jinchanzi.

"Hahaha... Good! My little bald thief can finally stand on his own."

Hearing this, Jinchanzi laughed loudly, his gaze toward Mengchen filled with deep emotion.

"You mere three in the Divine Fire Realm, what can you do to us? Leave now, and that will be the end of it; otherwise, I will surely make you crawl on the ground." Mengchen said coldly.

The three Western Sect disciples before him had all ignited their Divine Fire, but to him, they were not to be feared.

At the same time, this made Mengchen feel fearless. In this Upper Realm Western Sect, there were so many who had ignited their Divine Fire; these three were not necessarily special.

Back when he was in the Lower Realm, he had once begged Liu Shen, which was the only reason the Western Sect Leader did not end up being thrown into the Original Gate to die.

Thinking of this karmic connection, he figured that even if it eventually reached the Western Sect Leader, the Western Sect Leader should not blame him over a mere three Divine Fire Realm disciples.

Although he had disciplined the Purple Dragon Lotus first, he had no intention of destroying it, and the arrival of these three, who were aggressive and kept talking about suppressing and killing, was truly intolerable.

"You... you damaged the Purple Dragon Lotus first and spoke disrespectfully afterward; you deserve to be suppressed and killed!" one of them said sternly.

After the words fell, the three of them flew up simultaneously and merged with the three massive Golden Body Dharma Images in the void.

"Boom..."

In an instant, the three massive Golden Body Dharma Images opened their eyes, the golden light brilliant and magnificent, and as their vigorous auras clashed, gale winds arose everywhere.

"Suppress and kill!"

A roar rang out, and all three massive Golden Body Dharma Images swung their palms down, descending from the sky like three giant Buddhas.

"Stop spouting wild words!!"

Jinchanzi shouted softly, then formed seals with his hands, his body glowing with brilliant golden light like a red sun rising into the sky, merging with the summoned Golden Body Dharma Image. "Dharma Image of the World!"

Following his soft shout, his Golden Body Dharma Image erupted with boundless divine light, shrouding this Heaven Domain and Earth Domain, making it so that when one cast their gaze, this world seemed to have turned golden, sacred and transcendent.

At this moment, this Heaven Domain and Earth Domain were rendered into a golden world, and crackling arcs of lightning vied to surge rapidly through the void, shrouding all three of them at once.

"Hmph! Being the same Golden Body Dharma Image, what is there to fear!"

Someone spoke coldly, and they let the lightning arcs scorch their Golden Body, their attacking forms not slowing down by even half a bit.

"A good 'not afraid'! Eye of Reincarnation! Open!"

Mengchen shouted softly, and a golden eye appeared at the center of his brow; the appearance of the golden eye made Mengchen's body become brilliant and radiant, as if bathed in Buddha light.

This was his head's Supreme Bone technique, which had undergone a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering change after the original Great Dao marks were re-enacted through the Original True Explanation.

The golden eye at the center of his brow opened wide, its sacred aura boundless and its might infinite; the moment he looked toward those three, a mysterious radiance shrouded them.

"Ah! What kind of divine ability is this! Being shrouded by this radiance is like being in the long river of time, experiencing endless reincarnation."

The three people shrouded by the radiance were immediately terrified, feeling the rapid passage of time.

"Quickly, secure your origin!" the three shouted in unison.

Immediately, those three Golden Body Dharma Images simultaneously pressed their palms together and sat cross-legged in the space, wanting to urge the magic power within their bodies to free themselves.

This divine ability could control life and death, could destroy the world and create the world, and could cause opponents to sink into the reincarnation of time and turn into endless dust.

As Mengchen's golden eye gazed from the center of his brow, it made the three feel as if the void they were in had shattered, and they themselves had fallen into endless time; their magic power was flowing away, the years were flowing away, and their bodies and primordial spirits were also flowing away.

"What a powerful divine ability!"

Qingyi and the others were extremely shocked; they could clearly see that the three Golden Body Dharma Images in the void were beginning to fade away rapidly, and that void was also becoming shattered, as if it were about to evaporate and disappear.

"Master's divine ability is simply heaven-defying!" Xiaohuang could not help but exclaim.

In the void, Jinchanzi, who had transformed into a Golden Body Dharma Image, was stunned to see this, but at this moment, he could not afford to stare blankly and miss the opportunity.

"Boom boom boom...!"

As he formed seals, he struck out three palms in succession, instantly breaking the three men's Golden Body Dharma Images and exposing their true forms.

"Pfft..."

The three spat blood simultaneously; Jinchanzi's palm strike not only broke their Dharma Image Golden Body but also severely wounded each of them.

Suffering severe wounds, the three could no longer urge their magic power to resist, causing their respective flowing years, the magic power within their bodies, their flesh and blood, and their primordial spirits to all turn into specks of dust and begin to fade away rapidly.

The three appeared increasingly aged, their skin became dry and wrinkled, and the primordial spirit energy overflowing from their limbs and the centers of their brows turned into starlight, about to vanish.

"Brat! Quickly stop for us."

The three shouted in alarm; they felt the aura of death. This was even more terrifying than being killed by a Blade or axe.

Because the disappearing body and primordial spirit could not feel pain; this feeling was like disappearing from this world in silence, something deep in one's heart that was hard to imagine and endure.

Mengchen did not pay them any heed; the radiance of the golden eye at the center of his brow was released even more majestically, and he was increasing the intensity, wanting to let the three be annihilated into dust.

"Audacious! You... how dare you hurt my disciples!"

Boom-rumble..., following a loud shout, the Heaven Domain and Earth Domain trembled together, and a transcendent monk descended.

His body manifested in the void, so transcendent, and his whole body was shrouded in Great Dao Rune, which were formed by rules! This was a Heavenly God! Mengchen, Jinchanzi, and Xiaohuang and the others were all terrified.

"Mere disciples from the Lower Realm, receiving favors without gratitude, yet instead wanting to kill fellow sect members, you deserve to be suppressed and killed."

This Heavenly God monk shouted, and a supreme pressure descended, making Mengchen, Jinchanzi, and the others feel as if they were carrying ten million catties of weight in an instant, unable to stand up.

Because of this, blood flowed from Mengchen's brow and the corners of his mouth, the golden eye that had emerged dissipated, and he was suppressed to the ground by the Heavenly God's pressure, unable to resist.

The three monks who were about to turn into dust were thus saved, and they began to vie to say: "Master..., you must uphold justice for your disciples!"

"He damaged our sect's Divine Medicine Purple Dragon Lotus, and when the disciples spoke to stop him, we were treated like this; we ask Master to take action and kill him."

"Master, your disciple has suffered such severe wounds, you must avenge your disciple!"

"This master knows! I will uphold justice for you right now," the Heavenly God monk said indifferently.

Immediately, as one hand was lifted slightly, the laws in the void intertwined, and amidst the reflection of dazzling divine light, a palm print emerged, about to crash down.

"Boom boom boom..."

The palm print descended from the sky, the agitated void roared, and layers of terrifying air waves erupted and swept out, causing a hundred-mile radius to turn into a ruin of dust.

"Heavenly God Hongyi! Please stop!"

With a "shh" sound, the Western Sect Buddha Son suddenly appeared in the void and said to that Heavenly God.

Hongyi was the Dharma name of this Western Sect Heavenly God! Hearing this, the Heavenly God's palm print slowed for a moment; Heavenly God Hongyi was wrapped in aura and his body was coiled, and at this moment, the Buddha Son in the void looked like an ant facing an elephant compared to him.

Heavenly God Hongyi lowered his eyes to look at the Buddha Son and said indifferently: "Buddha Son, why have you come, why do you block me?!"

"Brother Mengchen, as well as his master and friends, you must not harm them."

The Buddha Son faced Heavenly God Hongyi neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"He harmed our sect's Divine Medicine Purple Dragon Lotus first, and wounded my disciples until they were dying later; by what right should I not settle this account."

Hongyi's tone at this time was heavy and accompanied by the power of laws, causing the Buddha Son's mind to shake as if he had been struck hard.

Of course, the Buddha Son! He was the successor to the next generation of the sect leader and also the personal disciple of the current sect leader. So, even if Hongyi was dissatisfied, it was not easy to directly take action against the Buddha Son.

"No matter what he did, it is not for you, Heavenly God Hongyi, to judge arbitrarily; everything will be decided by the sect leader," the Buddha Son said in a deep voice.

Once these words were spoken, the atmosphere there became tense for a time.

Hongyi stared at the Buddha Son, and after a few breaths, he suddenly said in a heavy voice: "Good! The Buddha Son speaks with reason; I can ignore the matter of him damaging our sect's Divine Medicine Purple Dragon Lotus and let the sect leader deal with it, but the debt of my three disciples being near death is something I, as their master, cannot ignore."

As his words fell, Heavenly God Hongyi's large hand moved again, and that Heavenly God palm print descended toward Mengchen once more.
