Chapter 1127

If he lost, wouldn't his own plan come to nothing?

Thinking of this, Cheng Jiao grew even more panicked.

Just as he saw Hearing Gai Nie's sword-heart phantom break through the final scripture talisman, mere inches away from him.

Cheng Jiao hardened his heart and pointed at the halo of light behind his head.

Om Mani Padme Hum!

That heaven-shaking Buddhist chant rang out once more like a rainbow.

The next instant, a Buddhist wheel suddenly appeared in the void above.

That Buddhist wheel radiated boundless Buddhist light all around it.

Under the illumination of this boundless Buddhist light, even though Hearing Gai Nie's sword-heart had undergone a metamorphosis, he still could not withstand it.

"Step back!"

A voice that did not belong to Cheng Jiao suddenly rang out in this world.

Hearing this voice, Hearing Gai Nie's spirit trembled, and his sword-heart could hold on no longer.

He was actually blasted straight out of Cheng Jiao's battle-heart world.

Once Hearing Gai Nie's sword-heart was blasted out, his body immediately regained sensation.

He then felt his blood surging, a rush of hot blood welling up.

Unable to bear it any longer, he actually spat out a mouthful of fresh blood before everyone.

"Hero Gai..."

Miss Xiao Li watched Hearing Gai Nie standing motionless for a long time, just as he had with Shanzhuang earlier.

Then suddenly spitting out another mouthful of fresh blood, his complexion wan.

She immediately knew that this Hero Gai, whose swordsmanship was extraordinary, had after all still lost.

But Miss Xiao Li's heart was full of worry for Hearing Gai Nie, and she could not help calling out before everyone.

"You have lost..."

As this clash between battle-hearts concluded, Cheng Jiao was still shaken.

But before the eyes of his many subordinates, he still appeared calm and unhurried, and said to Hearing Gai Nie.

In truth, relying only on his own battle-heart just now, he was absolutely no match for Hearing Gai Nie.

But a win was a win, even if it was not by his own strength.

"Yes, I have lost."

After Hearing Gai Nie spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his aura instead rose quite a bit.

Bystanders did not know, but both Cheng Jiao and Hearing Gai Nie were clear.

With Hearing Gai Nie's sword-heart's sudden metamorphosis just now, Hearing Gai Nie's current strength had in fact not dropped but risen.

Even if he no longer fought with battle-hearts, relying only on martial cultivation, Cheng Jiao might really not necessarily be able to take Hearing Gai Nie down!

"Then will you keep your promise?"

Cheng Jiao sighed inwardly, feeling that this genius was indeed a genius, able to break through even in such an absolute desperate situation.

But sighing was sighing; Cheng Jiao still needed Hearing Gai Nie to help him.

"Gai always keeps his word."

Hearing Gai Nie said with ringing conviction.

Then, pointing at Miss Xiao Li, he added,

"But if you want my help, please do not make things difficult for Miss Xiao Li and Pixiu."

"Release them."

Cheng Jiao was quite generous; hearing that Hearing Gai Nie was willing to keep his promise, he immediately ordered his men.

The people of Despair Shanzhuang all obeyed Cheng Jiao's orders absolutely.

Though they felt it should not be so, they still directly released Miss Xiao Li and Pixiu.

"Hero Gai, are you alright?"

Miss Xiao Li rushed to Hearing Gai Nie's side, wanting to check his injuries.

Hearing Gai Nie merely smiled faintly and said,

"I'm fine! Don't worry."

"Mm!"

Miss Xiao Li looked at Hearing Gai Nie's confident smile and couldn't help feeling a bit enchanted.

"Alright, Shanzhuang, take him to see the Clay Bodhisattva again!"

Having achieved his goal, Cheng Jiao immediately proceeded to the next step.

Shanzhuang, who had been coldly watching from before the hall door, only now responded.

"Let's go! The Clay Bodhisattva is waiting to see you."

Shanzhuang made an inviting gesture.

Hearing this, Hearing Gai Nie couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He suddenly realized that the so-called choice of his own that the Clay Bodhisattva spoke of had in fact probably long been foreseen.

Not only that, but Cheng Jiao, Shanzhuang, and the others also knew his decision.

This feeling of having one's own fate seen through by others truly was unpleasant.

But Hearing Gai Nie shook his head and cast the feeling from his mind.

Now that he was to help Cheng Jiao find that Lu Li Tribe,

He had already become entangled in this storm.

Although he had agreed to help Hearing Cheng Jiao, Hearing Gai Nie had not abandoned his own principles.

All of this, however, would have to wait until he saw the Mud Bodhisattva again, or even reached the Lu Li Tribe.

At present, Hearing Gai Nie, accompanied by Miss Xiao Li and the Pixiu, followed Wei Zhuang once more into that stone passage.

This time, it seemed a bit faster than before.

When they arrived outside the Mud Bodhisattva's cell, they heard the Mud Bodhisattva's voice drift over,

"I knew I wasn't wrong; you still chose to help him in the end."

Hearing this, Hearing Gai Nie could not help but be greatly amazed. This Mud Bodhisattva, who possessed Xiao Jingtian's talent, was truly like a living immortal.

Once Wei Zhuang opened the cell door, Hearing Gai Nie, unable to wait any longer, went in alone.

This time, the Mud Bodhisattva did not make Hearing Gai Nie wait too long.

That face covered in pustules once again appeared within the play of light and shadow.

"Senior, did you divine this, or did you deduce it?"

Hearing Gai Nie found it curious. He asked himself how he, a mere ordinary swordsman who couldn't even make it onto the Nine Provinces Combat Power Heaven List, could possibly warrant the Mud Bodhisattva casting divination for him.

Sure enough, the Mud Bodhisattva smiled once more and said,

"Of course it was deduction. Do you think divination is that easy to perform?"

As he spoke, he pointed at the pustules on his face,

"Every time I divine, another pustule appears on my face.

Medicine can't make these things fade, and they can't be lanced either.

They only make me feel miserable.

Each additional one brings me such agony I wish I were dead.

How could I possibly use this forbidden art for such a trivial matter?"

Hearing Gai Nie could not help but smile, feeling that this was only right.

"Enough, no more idle talk. Since you've come here prepared to help him, then let me tell you about it!"

The Mud Bodhisattva also didn't waste any more words and began speaking directly,

"What he is looking for is precisely the Lu Li Tribe, and one of the Chi You Demonic Treasures hidden within the Lu Li Tribe."

"The Chi You Demonic Treasure? What is that thing?"

Hearing this, Hearing Gai Nie could not help but ask curiously.

Now that the Lu Li Tribe has emerged into the world, does this mean the legends of Chi You might actually be true?

But what exactly is the Chi You Demonic Treasure?

"Just stop asking so many questions."

The Mud Bodhisattva shot Hearing Gai Nie a look and said irritably,
