Chapter 223: Shiwu Zun, Palm of Tathagata
Chapter 223: Shiwu Zun, Palm of Tathagata
Bang~!
Xiong Ba struck out with his palm, and the clouds and golden light collided and dissipated.
He looked up and was surprised to see a monk standing not far in front of him, looking at him with a solemn expression.
"The Protector of Wushuang City, Venerable Shiwu?"
Xiong Ba looked the other person over and suddenly realized.
Master Shi Wuzun put his hands together, bowed, and said, “Benefactor Xiong Ba, be lenient when you can, and don’t push things too far, otherwise your relationship will surely end soon.”
"Oh, you're talking to me about Buddhism?"
Xiong Ba laughed, his aura surging, and a pressure enveloped Shi Wuzun.
This pressure made Venerable Shi Wu's expression extremely solemn, his cultivation flowed, and bursts of Buddhist light surged from his hands.
"Then this humble monk will have the pleasure of learning martial arts from Benefactor Xiong Ba."
Shi Wuzun decided to take action.
Xiong Ba raised his hand and said directly, "Monk, you can make a move, I can grant your request, but there is one condition."
"Please speak." Venerable Shi Wuzun nodded.
This monk is quite particular.
Xiong Ba said, "My request is very simple: if you win, I will release her; if you lose, you will offer up your Tathagata Palm."
"So, do you agree?"
This was Xiong Ba's request; he was very interested in Shi Wuzun's Tathagata Palm.
Upon hearing this, Shi Wuzun remained silent for a moment, then looked at the heartbroken Mingyue and nodded slightly.
"Alright, this humble monk agrees."
He readily agreed.
Xiong Ba laughed even harder after hearing this.
"Come on, you go first."
He raised his hand, signaling the other party to make the first move.
Shi Wuzun's expression turned solemn, and he put his hands together in prayer: "Chief Xiong, please be careful."
Boom~!
After he finished speaking, he unleashed his full power, and a faint golden light shone from his body.
You know what, Master Shi Wuzun is a man of principle; he even reminded his opponent before making a move.
"Bring it on!"
Xiong Ba remained calm, surrounded by a tri-colored light.
"Buddha's light appears!"
Shi Wuzun struck with one hand, unleashing a powerful golden Buddhist light.
Faced with this move, Xiong Ba simply returned a palm strike.
Boom~!
The Cloud-Dispelling Palm shattered the opponent's golden Buddhist light.
"The Buddha embraces with a full countenance!"
Shi Wuzun shouted, and countless golden orbs of light flew out from between his hands, rapidly heading towards Xiong Ba.
Xiong Ba raised his hand and threw a punch, unleashing the Heavenly Frost Fist, which swept across the sky with frost-like energy.
Wherever it went, the golden orbs froze into ice sculptures, and then fell and scattered on the ground.
"Welcome the Buddha to the Western Paradise!"
Shi Wuzun leaped up, his entire body enveloped in golden light, and launched a strike aimed at Xiong Ba's forehead.
"Wind God Legs!"
With a single kick, Xiong Ba unleashed a whirlwind that scattered the power of Shi Wuzun and sent him flying.
"The Buddha's light shines!"
Shi Wuzun roared again, and a dazzling golden light emanated from his body, as if a true Buddha had descended to earth.
With a single move, golden light shone forth, and the Buddha's light illuminated the earth.
Boom, boom~~
Xiong Ba unleashed a punch and a palm strike, shattering the opponent's Buddha-light illumination.
“The Dharma is boundless!”
With a loud shout, Shi Wuzun flicked his robe, and golden light enveloped everything, as if a Buddhist kingdom were pressing down upon them.
Xiong Ba smiled slightly, raised his hand and threw a punch. A wave of ice swept out, and the frost energy dissipated upon impact.
Shi Wuzun's arms were frozen, and even his eyebrows were covered with a thin layer of frost.
"The Heavenly Buddha has descended to earth!"
"Buddha moves mountains and rivers!"
Shi Wuzun unleashed two more attacks in quick succession, each more powerful than the last.
Boom——
The two exchanged blows again, and the powerful energy swept outwards, collapsing several surrounding houses.
"Ten Thousand Buddhas Chaozong!"
Venerable Shi Wu sat cross-legged in mid-air, his whole body radiating golden light, and he clasped his hands together as he unleashed a powerful attack on Xiong Ba.
The Buddha's light was vast, as if thousands of Buddhas were descending from the sky and striking him.
This move is not only powerful, but also contains a mental attack.
Most people would probably have been terrified and then beaten to a pulp.
"Three divine fingers."
With a flick of his finger, Xiong Ba clashed with the myriad illusory Buddha images.
Boom~!
A terrifying explosion occurred, the energy raged, and many people were shocked and coughed up blood.
Shi Wuzun's face turned pale, and his body fell to the ground, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"Amitabha!"
He sat there with his hands clasped together, head bowed, and said, "Chief Xiong, this humble monk has lost."
Xiong Ba nodded slightly and asked, "You should have one last move. Why didn't you use it?"
Master Shi Wuzun smiled wryly and said, "Chief Xiong, you flatter me. This humble monk is proficient in everything, but if I use my last move, I will only be able to ascend to paradise first."
"I see. You lost. Keep your promise."
Xiong Ba nodded and did not make things difficult for the other party.
The monk was quite sensible, so they didn't kill him.
"Amitabha, this is the Tathagata's Palm."
True to his word, Shi Wuzun gave the Tathagata Palm manual to Xiong Ba.
"Thanks."
Xiong Ba took it and looked at it; it was real.
He stepped forward and slapped Shi Wuzun on the shoulder. A powerful surge of true energy flowed in and quickly healed Shi Wuzun's internal injuries.
"Thank you for showing mercy, Chief Xiong."
Shi Wuzun bowed in a complicated manner.
He realized that Xiong Ba had gone easy on him; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand even a few of Xiong Ba's moves.
"Since you're a talented person, I won't make things difficult for you."
Xiong Ba waved his hand and said, "You can leave now. It's certain that Wushuang City will surrender, otherwise it will only be reduced to ruins and destroyed. After all, we've long been fed up with Wushuang City's oppression of the people."
His words left Venerable Shi Wuzun speechless.
There was no way to refute it, because what Xiong Ba said was true; the people of Wushuang City had indeed oppressed the common people.
Moreover, this was something that Dugu Ming and his men often did, and even Dugu Yifang himself did it.
Therefore, Xiong Ba was absolutely not slandering the other party when he said those words.
What left Shi Wuzun speechless was that the world-dominating society had been building bridges and roads and repairing houses for the people for the past ten years.
They even distributed improved seeds to the people, helped them, and saved countless lives.
"If you have nowhere to go, then go to the World Society and contribute to the people of the world. Wouldn't that be a great act of merit?"
Xiong Ba's words resonated deeply with Shi Wuzun.
Yes, as a Buddhist disciple, I am devoted to the Buddha. Shouldn't I help all sentient beings?
Even if we can't save all living beings, we can still do our best to help the people of the world.
"Thank you, Chief Xiong. This humble monk is willing to dedicate my strength to the people of the world."
Shi Wuzun came to his senses and accepted Xiong Ba's invitation.
This plunged Mingyue, who had just seen a glimmer of hope, back into despair.
Are you betraying Wushuang City?
"Welcome."
Xiong Ba laughed heartily, patted Shi Wuzun on the shoulder, and led Mingyue toward the Ming family.
"Amitabha!"
With a helpless gesture, Shi Wuzun clasped his hands together and murmured, "Everyone claims to be from a prestigious and righteous sect, but who has truly lived up to the example of Xiong Ba?"
"The World Association is for the benefit of all, and the Buddha is merciful."
Shi Wuzun turned and left, heading towards the World Society.
"Chief Xiong, I have a favor to ask of you. Could you please let me collect Grandma's body?"
Mingyue looked at Xiongba pleadingly.
"Do as you please, I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you."
Xiong Ba nodded slightly, without refusing.
"Thank you."
Mingyue nodded gently, carrying her grandmother's body as she walked step by step toward the Ming family home.
Xiong Ba followed behind, and without exception, all the people from Wushuang City he encountered on the way kept their distance.
As long as they don't attack, Xiong Ba will naturally ignore them.
I was originally planning to deal with Wushuang City after defeating the Sword Saint.
Unexpectedly, the fake Dugu Yifang actually went to seduce his disciple Duan Lang.
Xiong Ba naturally could not tolerate this, so he stormed the door and killed the other party.
Now things are fine, the city lord and young city lord of Wushuang City have both been killed by Xiong Ba.
Even the Ming family's maternal grandmother died along with them, and Wushuang City is now in complete chaos.
"arrive."
Mingyue wiped away her tears and placed her grandmother's body in the hall.
She said to Xiong Ba, "Chief Xiong, please come with me. The Ming family's 'Love of the City' is in the forbidden area. As for whether we can inherit it, I can't guarantee it."
She explained it this way.
"It's alright, just take me there."
Xiong Ba nodded, not paying any attention, wanting to see what the so-called "love that could topple cities" was all about.
Whether Guan Yu actually created this thing is still unknown.
But its power is indeed not weak, and it is even comparable to the Maha Boundless.
Following Mingyue, Xiongba arrived at the forbidden area of the Ming family.
"That's it."
Mingyue pointed to a cave in front of them.
This is the forbidden area of Wushuang City.
It contains the legacy of a martial saint.
"Take me inside."
Xiong Ba nodded, signaling Mingyue to lead the way.
Mingyue obediently led Xiongba inside.
Buzz~!
As soon as I entered, I felt an invisible aura enveloping me.
Xiong Ba felt as if he had stepped into an unknown territory.
