Chapter 884: Magical Battle

Ding Ling stood in front of the Left Thousand Households Officer, shielding him from the aftermath of the strike.

But the others were not so fortunate afterward.

The aftermath swept through, with the monk crowd either having their heads explode, bleeding from their ears and noses, or directly screaming out as they were flung dozens of yards away.

The fierce wind howled towards all directions.

In order to achieve the effect of killing the enemy in one strike, Ding Ling’s previous blow was nothing short of full effort. He not only employed the Sword Spirit, Martial Dao True Understanding, and Supreme Sword Dao at full strength, but also activated Power Amplification. Thus, with just one strike, he shattered the finger of the Buddha Statue and directly pierced the forehead of Pudu Cihang, tearing apart his shell and revealing his true form:

It turned out to be a gigantic centipede!

This centipede seemed to be in a bewildered, shocked state!

Its whole head appeared frozen, motionless, staring at Ding Ling!

But in less than an instant, the centipede roared and roared, breaking through the beams, chomping towards Ding Ling’s direction!

“…!!!”

Left Thousand Households Officer was completely stunned! Speechless and dumbfounded, his heart felt like it had fallen into a deep abyss!

Even his soul was trembling!

This wasn’t fear, but a manifestation of extreme anger, sadness, and self-reproach.

He could not believe the current Grand National Preceptor! The nation’s important figure! The person repeatedly praised by the present majesty, was actually a demon!

And he, Left Thousand Households Officer, had sided with this villain all along! Serving this demon for years! Arresting countless loyal ministers of the nation!

Thinking of this, he could not contain his rage, and immediately drew his saber to act, but Ding Ling pulled him and flew out of the Kingdom Preceptor’s Mansion, saying to him:

“Left Thousand Households Officer, ride my mount and take Fu Tianchou and others to Guobei County near Lanruo Temple and wait for me.”

“Why?!”

“This is the Capital City! If you act here, countless people will die or be injured!”

Ding Ling quickly said:

“Moreover, you are far from being a match for the Centipede Spirit, staying here will only hold us back!”

“…”

Left Thousand Households Officer was silent, said nothing more.

Reflecting on his previous skepticism towards Ding Ling, his heart was filled with shame, and at this moment, he also recalled his promise to Ding Ling.

Now that he’s lost the bet, naturally, he must listen to Ding Ling in everything. Thinking of this, after being sent flying out of the Kingdom Preceptor’s Mansion by Ding Ling, Left Thousand Households Officer immediately sprinted along the crowd towards the direction of the city gate.

Meanwhile, Ding Ling swung himself, landing not far from Pudu Cihang, and swiftly took out the Human Emperor Saber from the Storage Ring, drawing the saber in a flash!

Celestial Cry Saber Technique!

Three Reincarnations!

A dazzling saber light mingled with the unfathomable True Meaning of Reincarnation enveloped Pudu Cihang.

Pudu Cihang remained unafraid, during the brief moment when Ding Ling sent away Left Thousand Households Officer, his human shell had already been perfectly restored.

His demon body was once again concealed within the human shell.

He returned to being that kind-looking, dignified monk again.

With his eyes full of surprise and emotion, he looked at the saber light slashing from Ding Ling, pressed his palms together, and said:

“Put down the butcher knife, become a Buddha on the spot, the sea of bitterness has no bounds, turning back is the shore!”

With the fall of the voice.

The Buddha statue reappeared.

This time the Buddha statue was as tall as a hundred meters, and once it appeared, the whole Capital City was illuminated by the Buddha Light, countless common folks fell to their knees, bowing in the direction of the Kingdom Preceptor’s Mansion!

Receiving the infusion of this ‘Power of Faith’.

The Buddha statue’s Buddha Light grew even more dazzling and unstoppable.

It opened its eyes, pointing once more towards Ding Ling’s direction.

Boom!

Rumble!

Buddha’s finger clashed fiercely with the saber light in mid-air, and with a spin and turn of the Reincarnation Blade Intent, Buddha’s finger instantly dissipated into air, vanished entirely.

“What?!”

Pudu Cihang was shocked, unable to believe:

“A mere mortal! Only cultivating Martial Dao! How can it possibly be stronger than my Buddhist Divine Technique?! I don’t believe it!”

With a long roar, his entire body soared into the sky, chanting grew louder, and in a flash pointed out three fingers towards the saber light once more.

However, it was useless.

Every finger was effortlessly transformed into gas and vanished by the Reincarnation Blade Intent.

“This Blade Intent, truly incredible!”

Pudu Cihang looked at Ding Ling with eyes filled with shock, agitation, vigilance, and intense killing intent:

“Initially thought it was a reckless young man being fearless. Never expected it to be a Martial Dao expert with real skills!”

He continuously pointed Buddha fingers at Ding Ling.

Each finger pointed down seemed able to shatter Heaven and Earth, roaring sounds reverberated through the sky.

The monks who were close had their eardrums shattered, flung not less than a hundred meters away, falling to the ground, uncertain if alive or dead.

Clang!

Clang clang clang!

Ding Ling’s Celestial Cry Saber Technique kept being unleashed, mystical and unpredictable Blade Intent along with sharp blade light slashed towards Buddha fingers!

The moment both of them started fighting.

They immediately dragged the battle into a white-hot stage.

Ding Ling fought with growing astonishment, as he realized Pudu Cihang was far stronger than he had imagined, at least reached the level of Martial Arts Dharma Aspect!

If otherwise, once the Three Reincarnations appeared, Pudu Cihang could not withstand it! He would only be reincarnated back to the most primitive state!

Now that Pudu Cihang blocked it, it meant his strength had already surpassed Ding Ling a lot, reaching the point Ding Ling could not kill him!

Yet he did not know, Pudu Cihang was even more astonished than he!

“Martial Dao has faded! Reaching the Shattered Realm, there’s no path forward! Being able to cultivate Martial Arts Golden Core is already a heaven-send! This young man, relying on Martial Dao, can actually withstand my Buddhist Divine Technique!”

Pudu Cihang the more he fought, the more his heart was tumultuous and surged: “I have already passed the Celestial Tribulation, Earth Tribulation, just once more Human Tribulation, then I can transform into a dragon and become immortal! At my kind of level, the human realm should be invincible! Now unexpectedly emerges a Martial Dao supreme brat!”

His intent to kill grew ever deeper:

“Now if I don’t kill him, by the time of the Lunar Eclipse, my Crown Mysterious Qi will be disordered, my cultivation will suddenly decline, I will definitely be killed by him! No matter what today, I cannot let him live, even if suffering severe wounds, I must deal with him!”

The Lunar Eclipse is just over a year away.

A year’s time only!

For Pudu Cihang, who has lived for thousands of years, that’s merely a snap of fingers, he absolutely cannot put his life at risk!

Thus, realizing Ding Ling’s strength, he even did not hesitate to reveal his enormous demon body, cooperating with the hundred-meter Buddha statue, devouring towards Ding Ling, seemingly trying to swallow Ding Ling whole!

As long as he swallows Ding Ling.

He can lock Ding Ling’s physical body, making Ding Ling’s Primordial Spirit unable to emerge, with only the path to extinction!

Now he is at his most profound cultivation stage, absolutely impossible for the opponent’s Primordial Spirit to emerge and wreak havoc inside his body once swallowed!

Ding Ling seeing clearly, made a leap of hundreds of meters high, then formed a Sword Pill, using the Celestial Escape Swordsmanship, Flying Sword for hundreds of meters, swiftly flying westward.

He planned to train for a period of time, and then come back to deal with Pudu Cihang.

Pudu Cihang clearly has the intention to risk his life, Ding Ling yet does not want to engage in a life-and-death struggle, this demon’s means are quite bizarre, if not careful, it wouldn’t be miserable?
