Chapter 550: Gu Insect

Li Miao did not stop the monk's movements.

He stared at what the monk threw into his mouth and laughed.

"Sect Leader Ji, long time no see."

He was too familiar with that thing.

In the world, only one person can refine that thing. Besides a certain demoness, even the Great Witch or the Miao King cannot refine it. Xiao Si and An Ziyang, together with dozens of Great Witches, have been studying it for more than three years with the backing of the entire Dashuo imperial court, and now they have only just made some progress.

A Gu insect capable of storing the Heaven-Man Realm.

Ji Tianrui's fundamental means.

Now it inexplicably appeared in the hands of a monk who could barely be considered a peak expert.

"Did Sect Leader Ji have an accident?"

Li Miao pondered while twisting his fingers.

This means is Ji Tianrui's foundation, her reliance for avoiding the Five Decays of Heaven and Man; she would never hand it over easily.

Either she made a deal with Enryaku-ji while entering Ise Grand Shrine, betting on both sides and weaving calculations; or she had an accident herself, and even her trump card was taken away.

To be honest, Li Miao would rather believe the former. Ji Tianrui is a demoness who calculates everything and is heartless; even Li Miao would be in trouble if he faced her. Who could calculate her into cutting off her tail to survive?

But after fighting with Bodhidharma's remnant corpse and knowing that two martial arts patriarchs were trapped in Japan, Li Miao also knew how deep the water of Shintoism was... Who knows if even Ji Tianrui stumbled?

Li Miao shook his head.

Master Zhang Sanfeng's whereabouts, the culprit who killed Venerable Bodhidharma, Ji Tianrui's calculations, the entanglement between Shintoism and Buddhism, the origin of the True Intent Sword Technique, and the River Master who has not yet revealed his true face.

One thing after another, pressing the gourd and the ladle rises; now he can only faintly see a vague clue strung together by Shintoism, but the truth is still hidden under the water, hard to distinguish.

However—

"I have a premonition."

Li Miao covered his mouth and coughed lightly, pointing at the monk in the void.

"After going to Toshodai-ji and seeing the remains of Master Jianzhen, many things will come to light."

He closed his five fingers abruptly.

On the residential houses on both sides of the street, Miyoshi Ryota killed the last crossbowman, turned around, and was about to leap off the roof, but stopped at the edge.

Lu Wushuang was swinging her legs, humming an out-of-tune little song, tilting her head and looking down, with corpses piled up behind her.

Miyoshi Ryota tilted his head in confusion, looked down along Lu Wushuang's gaze, and suddenly widened his eyes.

"Bad!"

He lifted his foot and was about to jump down.

"After that monk eats that insect, he can rival the 【Sword Saint】! He is from the Enryaku-ji orthodoxy!"

"Quick! Your companion is going to have an accident!"

He knew the means of Enryaku-ji. The "companion" he had finally found was about to die in the hands of the monk after saying only a few words. For a moment, he was anxious and couldn't care about his own strength, so he was about to jump down to save people.

But just as his feet left the ground, he was pulled back by Lu Wushuang.

"Nothing will happen."

She said with a smile, her gaze locked on Li Miao.

"No! You don't know the means of Enryaku-ji!"

Miyoshi Ryota struggled, watching the sturdy monk's momentum grow stronger after swallowing the Gu insect, his muscles swelling, supporting the loose monk robe, his voice becoming more and more urgent.

"It really won't work! Can you listen to me once!"

*Boom! *

Before the words fell, he saw the monk rush toward Li Miao abruptly.

"It's over!"

Miyoshi Ryota closed his eyes in despair.

The monk's speed was even faster than he expected, even far beyond the ordinary 【Sword Saint】. The key was that with such speed, there wasn't even a trace of dust on the ground under his feet, which showed how skilled he was in controlling his strength; it probably wasn't the first time he had used this Gu insect.

In front of such an enemy, he probably didn't even have the qualifications to block him. Let alone that weird, weak man, even he himself would probably die in the monk's hands in a while, without even a chance to run away. ===== CHAPTER 551 =====
