Chapter 449: Dharma fighting between Daoists

Although there was only one thunderbolt, after it struck, it branched and grew layer by layer, hitting the front and back courtyards of Yushan, the main hall and side halls, the roof and the ground, immediately igniting flames and splashing broken stones.

Many incense pilgrims had just walked to the foot of the mountain, and when they looked back, the lightning imprints that could not dissipate for a long time remained in their eyes.

There were incense pilgrims who walked slowly, and hadn't even gone down the mountain yet.

Seeing those armored soldiers descending from the sky and that giant armored god larger than the mountain peak, they finally knew that the rumors in the world about True Person Lin's ability were all true.

"Run far away!"

Many incense pilgrims left in a panic.

And at the peak of Mount Yushan, there was not even a suitable position for the Long Bo bean soldiers to stand. He could only stand on the sloping mountain body, holding a golden whip, and smash it toward the Daoist temple.

"Peng!"

With one whip, several rooms were shattered.

Pushing with his left hand, the courtyard wall collapsed like thin bricks.

"Stop!"

Golden light flashed in the Yushan Daoist temple.

The leading old Daoist summoned golden light to protect his body, waved his left sleeve, and threw out a square black cloth with brocade edges, two feet square, embroidered with silver cloud patterns, spinning and flying toward the sky.

As soon as the black cloth flew out, it grew with the wind, and soon grew from two feet square to more than two zhang, and was still continuing to grow.

In the blink of an eye, the black cloth had grown to more than ten zhang wide. If looked at from below, it should be blocking the clouds and the sun in the sky. If looked at from above, it almost blocked the entire Yushan Baiqing Palace.

"Boom!"

The lightning struck it, almost unable to penetrate.

Long Bo raised the golden whip high and smashed it down hard.

However, this giant force, smashing on this piece of black cloth, only stirred up waves.

"Hu..."

A huge six-tailed white fox appeared beside Lin Jue, lowered its head and opened its mouth to spit, spitting out golden flames, directly hitting the black cloth.

Only to see the silver patterns on the black cloth emit bursts of light, and because of the constant rotation of the black cloth, the entire surface of the black cloth seemed to be glowing, actually blocking and stirring the incoming solar spiritual fire.

"Shu shu

"Woo woo woo!"

Twelve flying swords shot out in a flash, and two long swords spun as they pierced the air, striking the black cloth, yet they still could not penetrate it, instead being blocked and even knocked away.

This piece of black cloth was like some profound and void mystery shrouding the sky above the White Purity Palace on Jade Mountain; no power could pierce through it.

"What a brilliant cloth barrier!"

Lin Jue, in the sky, watched, and a countermeasure quickly formed in his mind.

The fox also tilted its head, revealing a look of contemplation.

Immediately, the Daoist chanted a spell and beckoned for the wind.

The fox tucked in its feet and tail, the entire fox transforming into a white arrow, plunging straight downward and escaping into the mountain.

"Hoo-woo!!"

The storm between heaven and earth suddenly intensified.

A gale came from the east to the west, blowing the black cloth into a sway, then blew from bottom to top, even lifting the eastern corner of the black cloth.

"Hold it steady for me!"

An angry reprimand from the old Daoist came from below.

The eastern corner of the black cloth immediately pressed down.

Just as it had barely stabilized, another gust of wind came, still blowing from bottom to top, but this time from west to east, using the force of its pressure on the eastern corner to lift the western corner!

Such a sudden change was already difficult to react to, and coupled with the panic caused by the white fox suddenly emerging from beneath the black cloth, the gale violently blew this piece of cloth away!

The White Purity Palace on Jade Mountain appeared before Lin Jue's eyes once more.

Yet, at the first moment, he sidestepped to dodge.

"Swish!"

Only to see that beside the old Daoist below, there were two more middle-aged Daoists, one on the left and one on the right, thrusting their long swords toward Lin Jue in the air.

Those long swords were clearly only three feet long, but following the sharp gazes of the Daoists, the spells on their bodies, and the incantations in their mouths, they suddenly extended dozens of zhang upward, stabbing toward Lin Jue's left and right shoulders.

Fortunately, the gale helped, adding agility to him.

Lin Jue sidestepped and dodged; seeing a bright, snowy long sword piercing through the air, he held his own long sword in one hand and flicked it forward, causing the bright sword to pass by his face, while his other hand carried the scabbard on his back, leaning it against the other long sword, even feeling the screeching sound of friction between the two.

"Fellow Daoist, please calm down!"

The voice of a middle-aged Daoist came from below.

"How can I be calm? A month has passed, and my junior sister is still lying wounded in bed! Since you already knew the power of that yaoguai, and since you already admitted to sending my junior sister to eliminate the yaoguai, what else is there to say?"

Lin Jue beckoned with his hand, and from all directions, twelve flying swords and two long swords flew over, gathering toward the two middle-aged Daoists.

"As for your words, I am too lazy to pay attention, not unable to refute!"

At this moment, the gale had already rolled up the black cloth and left, soaring straight up, and within a few breaths, it was unknown how many dozens of zhang high above the ground.

At the same time, in the current White Purity Palace, numerous armored soldiers were in neat formations, attacking and defending in an orderly fashion, and they had also clashed with the Daoists protected by golden light. Swish, swish, swish!

Successive long swords thrust toward the firmament like silver needles; the Daoists flew in the sky, riding the wind and treading on clouds, holding swords to fight and maneuver against these long swords.

Below, the armored giant constantly swung its whip and threw punches, shattering the palace buildings.

A giant rock below suddenly flew up, smashing toward Lin Jue.

Mountain pressing down!

The giant rock had only flown up a dozen zhang when it suddenly gained ten thousand jin of weight out of thin air, being forcibly pressed down.

Immediately following, golden light flashed, dazzling the Daoists below for a moment.

While the Jade Mountain Daoists were dizzy, the bean-soldier armored men were unaffected, the fox had just happened to escape underground to avoid it, and the twelve flying swords and two long swords were even more unaffected; as the fox emerged from the ground and the flying swords shot back in from all directions, the Jade Mountain Daoists immediately suffered a great loss.

A group of young Daoists fell.

The heritage of Jade Mountain was equally long-standing; these Daoists were not to be outdone, simultaneously forming arrays, chanting spells, and throwing the long swords in their hands.

A sound of wind-slashing through the air.

Under the urging of the two old Daoists, dozens of long swords spun and flew up, intending to surround Lin Jue from all directions.

!

Yet Lin Jue was not afraid in the slightest, only reaching out a finger:

Dragon Transformation Play!

More than a hundred flower snakes appeared in the sky, spinning chaotically, twisting their bodies, colliding with each other, and falling down.

A violent gale suddenly rose again between heaven and earth!

The tile roofs of the last few buildings of the White Purity Palace were also blown off, many Daoists were directly blown away, smashing into the courtyard walls and being crushed into the bricks and stones, a chorus of miserable cries!

Compared to a hundred years ago, this one had even higher skills.

The appearance of the capital had long been inferior to the past, but today, the deathly still streets of the capital suddenly became lively and noisy.

"Master Lin has returned!"

"Master Lin is fighting the Daoists of the White Purity Palace on Jade Mountain! Hurry and go watch! The sky is full of gales, the roofs have been blown off, and heavenly thunder has struck again and again! What a grand scene!"

"So Master Lin really is an immortal!"

"Ah? What?"

"Isn't it said that we can't watch?"

The news that Master Lin had returned to the capital, gone to Jade Mountain, and fought the Jade Mountain Daoists spread like wildfire, going viral in the capital.

Someone reported it to the Ministry of Rites at the first opportunity; in this day and age, the Ancestral Temple Division of the Ministry of Rites was actually quite active, and Wu Lingshi ran to the Ju Xian Fu at the first opportunity to inform Wan Xinrong and the others.

Wan Xinrong and the others were also greatly shocked.

For the past few years, they had stayed at the Ju Xian Fu in the capital, and because the world was in chaos, there were frequent occurrences of yaoguai and ghosts inside and outside the capital; they had also dealt with the Jade Mountain Daoists several times, caught ghosts and eliminated yaoguai together, and knew that although these Daoists were not easy to get along with, they could not be considered great villains; why, when Master Lin returned to the capital, even they did not know, yet he went to fight these Daoists at the first opportunity?

After a brief discussion, they realized.

It was said that some time ago, because of the war in the north of Qinzhou, countless people died, attracting a great yaoguai from the south; it was said that the yaoguai was extremely powerful, and the Jade Mountain Daoists went but could not defeat it, so they invited Master Lin's junior sister to eliminate it. In the end, it was unknown how Master Lin's junior sister eliminated it, only that although the yaoguai died, Master Lin's junior sister was also injured.

There must be some trick to this!

Wan Xinrong and the others did not delay, gathered their people, and rushed to Jade Mountain.

They thought there would be another scene of armored soldiers surrounding Jade Mountain like the legend from a hundred years ago, but when they arrived at Jade Mountain, they found that the battle had already ended in just a few moments.

Jade Mountain no longer had the figure of Master Lin, only a ruin of Daoist temples standing on the mountaintop, even the mountain walls were a mess, the mountain forest was full of traces of the gale's ravages, the Jade Mountain Daoists were severely injured, and many onlookers gathered at the foot of the mountain to watch, discussing with great interest, still unwilling to leave.

"Old fellow, what happened just now?"

"You're late! Master Lin has already left!"

"Was it really a battle? Who won and who lost?"

"Does that even need to be said? Look at the Daoist temples on the mountain, they've already been dismantled, and the Jade Mountain Daoists have been injured countless times, you know that too!"

"Can you tell me in detail!"

"Isn't everyone talking about it? You didn't see that scene just now, it's really a pity!" That person said vividly, dancing with his hands and feet, "Master Lin waved his hand and invited heavenly soldiers and generals, waved his hand again and invited the golden-armored giant god from the sky, and waved his hand again, wind and thunder raged, the sky was full of sword light, I've lived this long and this is the first time I've seen such magical skills..."

"Tell me more about the cause and process!"

"I don't know either, I only know that at that time I came to Jade Mountain to offer incense, the immortals of the Southern Guanxing Palace were immoral, so we wouldn't go to the Guanxing Palace, but there were too many people at the Zhenjian Palace, so I had to come to Jade Mountain, but I had just climbed to the top of the mountain when I heard the gale raging, and Master Lin's voice came from the sky, saying that he wanted to fight the Jade Mountain Daoists to settle a grudge, and told us to go down the mountain quickly, by the way, I also heard Master Lin say..."

Wan Xinrong heard the incense pilgrim's words and was certain that it was Master Lin without a doubt. At the same time, he pieced together the cause of the matter from the incense pilgrim, which was about the same as what they had guessed.

It was just that they knew more about Master Lin and the Jade Mountain Daoists, so they could guess more from this—

Master Lin must have been dissatisfied because his junior sister was tricked by them into eliminating the yaoguai, and coupled with seeing his junior sister seriously injured after returning, he naturally came to seek justice.

It was said that Master Lin and his junior sister had gone up the mountain to learn the Dao together since they were young, and were as close as brother and sister; returning from a long journey to find his junior sister so seriously injured, anyone would be angry.

However, it seemed now that although Master Lin was angry, he also considered the contribution of the Jade Mountain Daoists to the people of the capital, and considered that the people of the capital still needed these Jade Mountain Daoists to subdue demons and eliminate yaoguai, so he only dismantled the temple and injured people, without really dealing a lethal blow.

Correspondingly, the Jade Mountain Daoists also knew that Master Lin came to seek justice and vent his anger, so until the battle ended, no matter how heavy the damage was, they did not use the ancestral green jade treasure of the White Purity Palace.

Otherwise, even Master Lin, I'm afraid, would not have been able to win.

Just like the legend from a hundred years ago.

This was a struggle between Daoists.

Daoists are also human.

Being human means having joys, sorrows, and pleasures, each with their own thoughts, and it is inevitable that there will be disputes, but this is different from subduing demons and eliminating yaoguai.

The crowd went up the mountain to take another look, were shocked a few times, and then went down the mountain, returning to the capital to wait.
