Chapter 1121
Facing Lu Yang's furious sword strike, the evil monk Ban Bu had nowhere to hide. Hardening his heart, he decided to fight to the death. He decisively bit the tip of his tongue, and without the slightest hesitation, used the blood from his tongue to smear strange runes all over his face. He had conducted extensive research into ancient history, and these were symbols from a certain ancient tribe that burned one's lifespan and essence blood.
Inside the evil monk Ban Bu's body, it sounded as if countless chime bells were vibrating, with bursts of Buddhist chants that made one involuntarily want to prostrate and worship. Yet, if one listened carefully, one would feel that this Buddhist sound was not pure; it contained evil obsessions.
A golden Luo Han dharma image condensed, solemn and grave. Seeing this, the believers excitedly kowtowed until their heads were broken and bleeding.
"Junior, you forced my hand!"
The evil monk Ban Bu bled from his seven orifices, his face ferocious, and the golden Luo Han roared as well. Even when he was pursued and hunted by Abbot Ming Yu that day, he had never used this move. This move consumed a massive amount of energy and could shave off over a thousand years of his lifespan; if not for this life-or-death moment, he truly would not have wanted to use it.
But when facing Lu Yang's sword, everything was useless. The golden Luo Han was split in two. The evil monk Ban Bu, who had wanted to use the golden Luo Han to attract Lu Yang's attention and seize the chance to escape, had not expected this sword strike to be so terrifying that he couldn't even block a single move. Before he died, his expression remained one of terror.
This sword strike condensed Lu Yang's essence, energy, and spirit; even his soul could not escape this strike, and it was vertically cleaved into two halves.
"Disgusting." Lu Yang felt that for such a person to live even one more second was disgusting.
As the soul was about to dissipate, Lu Yang gripped the two halves of the soul, forcibly searching the soul, and learned everything the evil monk Ban Bu had done since arriving on Blue Star.
The omnipotent god fell, and seeing this, the believers hurriedly fled.
"Freeze."
Lu Yang used only one word to make these believers freeze, then with a wave of his large hand, he sent them all to the foot of Kunlun Mountain.
Through the soul search, Lu Yang discovered that these people were just ordinary people brainwashed by Ban Bu; they couldn't be considered evil. However, being able to be brainwashed by Ban Bu meant their minds were definitely not very clean; they were all swayed by desire.
How to deal with these people was a matter for later. Having finally seen Bai Shuang, he wouldn't think about these troublesome matters now.
If one had to say there was a truly evil person, then Li Wenjie, who had forcibly broken into the villa, definitely counted as one.
He was originally a disciple of an ancient sect on Blue Star who happened to meet Ban Bu just after he arrived on Blue Star. He did many things for him and became the sect master of that sect, acting lawlessly within it.
Lu Yang lightly tapped the Green Edge Sword; the sword hummed, shattering Li Wenjie within the Green Edge Sword's small world.
"Sister Bai!" Xia He shouted, jumping off the covered boat and rushing onto the altar.
At this moment, she was wearing the illusion array jade pendant, and her appearance was still that of an old grandmother.
Bai Shuang stared, dumbfounded. When she saw Xia He before, she had been trembling while holding a cane, unable to walk steadily. How could she be running and jumping now?
"You, you, what is going on with you?" The change was too fast, and Bai Shuang couldn't quite react. "And who is he?"
The evil monk Ban Bu was the most terrifying enemy she had ever seen in her life, and the pressure he brought her was far stronger than the Zombie Planet's will, Gu Yu, or the Zhu Tian civilization fleet.
Even her ability to come and go as she pleased had been broken by the evil monk Ban Bu, which had made her panic.
Yet such an enemy had actually been killed by that young man with one sword strike.
Xia He took off the illusion array jade pendant, revealing her youthful appearance. She wiped away tears of excitement and pointed at the young man who was sheathing his sword with a suave motion: "Sister Bai, Lu Yang has returned! He cured me!"
"Lu Yang... he is Lu Yang?!"
Bai Shuang first froze for a moment, then widened her eyes in disbelief, her mouth slightly agape, and she didn't close it for a long time.
She suddenly remembered that the evil monk Ban Bu had shouted Lu Yang's name, and Xia He couldn't have recognized the wrong person.
"Are you really Lu Yang?"
"Sister Bai, don't you recognize me?" Lu Yang felt that his sword-sheathing motion just now hadn't been suave enough, so he drew it out and sheathed it again.
Bai Shuang was convinced; someone who would deliberately act cool like this was definitely Lu Yang.
"You, you didn't you self-destruct?" Bai Shuang spoke stutteringly. She had watched Lu Yang self-destruct with her own eyes back then; not even his ashes had been left behind.
"If the body is gone, there's still the soul, right? The soul is still here." Lu Yang grinned and patted his chest, indicating that his body was healthy now and there was no need to worry.
Although Bai Shuang didn't quite understand how Lu Yang had survived, as long as he was alive, that was enough.
Lu Yang was the first friend she had made, and even her own name had been given by Lu Yang. No matter what Lu Yang was like, he would always be her best friend.
Bai Shuang felt a bit nostalgic for the days when she lived inside Lu Yang's body. During the apocalypse, in order to win Lu Yang over to the human camp, she had often lived in Lu Yang's body and argued with Gu Yu. If not for Gu Yu eventually betraying them, that period would have been the happiest time Bai Shuang had ever spent.
The array on the altar vanished, and Bai Shuang returned to her usual mental state. According to her memory, she floated into Lu Yang's body, only to be blocked outside by the tightly closed mental space.
"Lu Yang, why can't I get into your body?" Bai Shuang lightly tapped the mental space; she had clearly been able to come and go as she pleased before.
Through the mental space, the Immortal Fairy looked at Bai Shuang with an unfriendly expression: "There is someone here already."
The latest novels are first published here!
Bai Shuang was so frightened by the suddenly appearing Immortal Fairy that she did a somersault in the air: "Lu Yang, who, who is she?"
The Immortal Fairy put her hands on her hips, like an arrogant young lady from ancient times who had married into a husband's family: "This is this Immortal's home."
Lu Yang felt a headache coming on and respectfully invited Bai Shuang and the Immortal Fairy out of his body.
Sometimes he felt that his body wasn't his own; anyone who wanted to come could come.
Xia He explained from the side: "Sister Bai, if you really count it, this Immortal senior is Lu Yang's benefactor. We should thank her."
"Benefactor?"
"Let me explain." Lu Yang said. As the person involved, he knew the complex process best; it wasn't something that could be explained in a few words.
Lu Yang had no choice but to tell the story from the beginning again. Bai Shuang listened with great interest; she hadn't expected there to be such a magical place as the Cultivation Realm, and even less had she expected that Lu Yang could stand out in the Cultivation Realm where experts were as common as dragons.
Bai Shuang felt wonderful inside; sure enough, her judgment of people couldn't be wrong.
"In other words, I'm actually not the Blue Star will, but an innate lifeform?"
"Correct. This is also the reason why that old monk wanted to subdue you. Every innate lifeform has huge potential; if cultivated, becoming a Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator is a given."
"Then why can't I do anything now?" Bai Shuang was puzzled. Innate lifeforms sounded so powerful, yet she could only run around in human bodies; apart from chatting, she couldn't do anything.
"Lack of spiritual energy, Sister Bai." Lu Yang was between laughter and tears. I emphasized the effect of spiritual energy repeatedly just now, and you didn't listen to a single word.
"In other words, if I have spiritual energy, I can become very, very strong?"
"Correct... Fairy, what are you doing?"
Lu Yang noticed out of the corner of his eye that the Immortal Fairy was circling the hinterland of Kunlun Mountain, looking thoughtful.
He remembered that in the evil monk Ban Bu's memory, there was an ancient seal deep within Kunlun Mountain, and wanting to subdue Bai Shuang here was also for this reason.
The Immortal Fairy pointed to several nearby mountain peaks: "This place looks familiar; it feels like my home."
