Chapter 411: Bozhou Victory
Last time we talked about Li Yi being defeated by Xiang Tongtian, so how will the story develop next? Let’s read on together.
Just as Xiang Tongtian reached out to Li Yi's chest to dig out his heart, a snake-scale-like shield suddenly appeared and bounced Xiang Tongtian away, and then the shadow of a giant black and gold python formed behind Li Yi.
Xiang Tongtian was surprised and said: "This is..."
"Don't you know the Empress Tai'an, the ancestor of all monsters?"
"Why would Empress Tai'an protect you?"
The image of Acala suddenly appeared on Li Yi's spiritual platform. Bodhisattva Guangsheng looked at Li Yi in surprise and said, "What happened to Xiuyuan? I felt the pressure from Empress Tai'an and thought she was here!"
Li Yi covered his chest and said, "To the Bodhisattva, it was the scales bestowed upon me by the Goddess Tai'an that saved my life."
"Who beat you up like this? Was it this six-tusked white elephant? Humph, how dare you, a wicked creature, hurt my disciple! It just so happens that I am going to teach in Western Chu, and I have not yet demonstrated my great magical powers. Wait for me to kill this monster!"
"Bodhisattva, have you forgotten the bet you made with Manjusri Bodhisattva?"
Bodhisattva Guangsheng slapped his forehead and said, "If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. What should I do? I finally got a chance to make a move. It would be a pity to let it go!
Hey, there is a way! Xiuyuan, just recite the "Avatamsaka Sutra". If you want to fight with the demons, you will inevitably get hurt. I will teach you the Medicine Master Dharma and the true use of our Buddhist Dharma!"
Li Yi performed a Buddhist ceremony, then sat in meditation and chanted. The Bodhisattva Guangsheng placed his hands in a triangle, and the Medicine Master's image also appeared on Li Yi's spiritual platform, arranged in a Chinese character "品" with the image of the Acala Vidyaraja and the image of the Martial Saint Vidyaraja.
The Medicine Buddha and Acala raised their hands and joined hands with the Martial Saint Vidyaraja. One was healing the wound, while the other was teaching the Dharma. As a result, the Buddha's light of the Martial Saint Vidyaraja was restored and became even brighter.
Bodhisattva Guangsheng smiled and said, "Xiuyuan, now I will show you how to use the Dharma to defeat the superior. You must watch carefully!"
In reality, when Li Yi stood up, a three-meter-tall image of Acala appeared around him. The one controlling this body was not Li Yi, but Bodhisattva Guangsheng, which could be seen from the image of Acala.
Bodhisattva Guangsheng said to Tongtian: "Evil creature, I will suppress my cultivation to the second level and will not bully the weak. Come on, make your move!"
Xiang Tongtian looked at Li Yi in front of him with a puzzled look in his head, wondering if he had beaten this guy silly, how come his personality had changed? But the desire to be beaten was still there, so he simply didn't care about it and just beat him first!
So, Xiang Tongtian directly hit him with his trunk. Bodhisattva Guangsheng stretched out his hand to catch it, and the elephant's trunk swung to entangle him. Then he activated his innate magical power of carrying a mountain, lifted up the image of Acala, and then threw it heavily to the ground.
"Wow, you have such great strength! No wonder Xiu Yuan is no match for you."
Seeing that this guy could still chat, Xiang Tongtian raised his right foot and stomped hard on him. The key point was that a sharp tusk grew on the sole of his foot, which pierced Li Yi in the image of Acalanatha like a cone.
Bodhisattva Guangsheng held his left thumb with his right hand, placed it in front of his chest and shouted: "Om Ben Zar Sattva Hum!" Then the Acalanatha Dharmakaya raised his right hand and a swastika seal formed in his palm, which not only blocked the tusk, but also overturned the elephant Tongtian to the ground.
"Xiuyuan, you also know the Vajrasattva mantra, but you can't use it to its full potential. If you combine the Dharma with our Buddhist martial arts, you can unleash even greater power, like this."
Acala swung his fist and rushed towards Xiang Tongtian, who hurriedly got up to fight. Acala held the swastika seal in each hand and used a double-peaked ear-smashing move against Xiang Tongtian, who raised his hands to block, but only blocked his hands but not the seal, and felt dizzy and took a few steps back.
Bodhisattva Guangsheng immediately controlled the Dharma image of Acalanatha to follow, grabbed the elephant's trunk with his left hand, chopped the elephant's throat with his right hand, and then kicked the elephant in the stomach, causing the elephant to completely lose balance.
As the elephant monster leaned forward, Acalanatha kicked him on the chin and knocked him flying. However, the elephant monster was too heavy to fly and his feet could only be a few feet off the ground.
Bodhisattva Guangsheng seized the opportunity and used the move of Arhat striking the bell. The power of this attack was so great that the elephant monster flew out and crashed into the cliff, flattening the top of the mountain.
This was not the end. Bodhisattva Guangsheng jumped in front of the collapsed Earth Elephant Tongtian, eager to show Li Yi a wave of Shaolin 72 unique skills! This was a real on-site teaching.
Bodhisattva Guangsheng glanced at the dying Xiang Tongtian, shook his hands, and said with a smile: "This elephant monster is really tough! I haven't had such a good time beating him for a long time. How is it, have you learned it?"
Li Yi said awkwardly: "I can see it, but I don't have the pure Buddhist teachings like you, so I can't bring out the true power of the Vajrasattva mantra."
"That's because you have a dirty mind, and you still have the nerve to say that!"
Li Yi quickly changed the subject and asked, "Hey, Bodhisattva, what are you going to do with this elephant monster?"
"Kill it. When a big demon like this dies, we should chant sutras to pray for its soul to rest in peace, and send it to Junior Brother Ksitigarbha."
"Wait a minute, Bodhisattva. God is merciful and compassionate. Why don't you just not kill him and take him as a mount?"
"Mount? Why would I need that?"
"Think about it, you have a bet with Manjusri Bodhisattva that you cannot use your great magical powers to attract believers, but if you ride a six-tusked white elephant into the State of Chu, wouldn't that solve all the problems?"
"That's a solution. I'll follow your advice."
Bodhisattva Guangsheng used Li Yi's body to talk to Tongtian and said, "You evil creature, I will give you two choices. Either you convert to Buddhism and become my mount, then you can fast and worship Buddha and walk on the bright road; or I will send you to the Yellow Spring Road and punish you in hell."
Xiang Tongtian sat up with difficulty and asked in confusion: "Excuse me, who are you?"
"I am Sadhavara, a great disciple of the Tathagata Buddha. I am also known as Bodhisattva Guangsheng. I am just using this body to talk to you. Enough of the small talk. What do you want to choose, you evil creature?"
What else could he choose? Xiang Tongtian was just simple-minded, but not stupid. He immediately knelt on the ground, bowed to Li Yi and said, "I am willing to convert to Buddhism!"
"Okay, then I will grant you a Dharma name, and from now on I will call you Liudu. I will also give you a Dharma seal!" After saying this, Bodhisattva Guangsheng raised his hand and pressed it on Xiang Tongtian's forehead.
But Xiang Tongtian transformed into a three-meter-tall white elephant with six tusks. A swastika seal appeared on his head. The seal glowed with golden light and not only cured his wounds, but also transformed into a headband and an elephant saddle.
"From now on, everything in this world has nothing to do with you. This seal will focus your mind and help you practice. I am now in Pyu Kingdom, subduing demons and teaching the Dharma. Come and find me as soon as possible."
"Disciple obeys your command!" Liudu said, then stood up and walked south.
"Xiuyuan, you should be more careful in your actions in the future and practice more diligently, otherwise you won't be so lucky next time."
"I understand, thank you Bodhisattva."
Li Yi sent away Bodhisattva Guangsheng and immediately set off for other battlefields. The first place he wanted to go to was the eagle monster that Shan Yiling and Dongyi Wei were fighting against together. After all, the eagle monster was too fast and was indeed difficult to deal with.
When Li Yi arrived at the stone forest prepared for the eagle monster, the place was already devastated by the collapse of mountains and broken trees. Two more Dongyi guards died in the battle, while Yi Ling was fighting the eagle monster under the cover of the arrow formation.
The eagle demon was extremely surprised to see Li Yi. The demon king Xiang Tongtian was obviously not dead, so why did this guy come here? But he knew very well that since the man in front of him dared to fight with the demon king, his strength must be far above his own. If he didn't run away now, when would he run?
The key is that once the eagle demon decides to run away, it is really difficult for ordinary people to catch up. Yi Ling and Li Yi chased it at full speed, but were left far behind.
Seeing that the eagle demon was about to run away, Li Yi shouted: "Yiling, speed talisman!"
“It’s in use!”
"Give me the Speed Talisman!"
Yi Ling threw a piece of talisman paper to Li Yi, who took out the Panlong Pen, gathered his righteous energy and wrote a Confucian and Taoist spell on the back of the Speed Talisman. He then inserted the talisman paper into the Spirit Feather Arrow, pulled the Heaven-Shooting Sun Bow and shouted, "Thunder Tribulation Chasing Wind Arrow!"
With a bang, the spirit feather arrow shot out accompanied by lightning. The talisman on the arrow burned, causing it to accelerate again. This was real sparks and lightning all the way.
The eagle demon felt the threat from behind and looked back, then immediately flapped his wings to increase his altitude, trying to let the arrow pass over him, just like the cobra maneuver in fighter jet flying skills. However, his plan did not succeed, as Li Yi's arrow locked onto his soul!
With a clang, the spirit feather arrow pierced through his breastplate and went straight into the sky. Then it came down with a bolt of lightning and hit the falling eagle demon, which turned into ashes and dissipated between heaven and earth.
Li Yi and Yi Ling returned to the ground and found Wei Jia and said, "After this battle, there will be no more major battles in Qianzhou. Many Dongyi guards were killed and wounded. From now on, you will serve as scouts and messengers. You must put your own protection first. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"When this battle is over, you will return to the Dongyi Secret Realm to recuperate. I still have to deal with two other second-grade monsters, so it is not convenient to bring Yu Jiu with me. During this period, let him follow you and teach him more."
"My subordinate understands."
"Okay, you guys go back to Bozhou and rest, and leave the rest to me and Yiling."
Wei Jia took Yu Jiu and other Dongyi guards away. Yi Ling handed Li Yi a golden pill and said, "Eat it!"
"What kind of pill is this?"
"Life-extending pills! You're so recklessly mobilizing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and consuming your life span. Aren't you afraid of dying suddenly?"
Li Yi swallowed the golden elixir and said with a silly smile: "You know all this, it seems that you care about me a lot."
"In my impression, you are not that kind of person!"
"People will always change, and this time we are dealing with the demon tribe. This is a battle of fate, so we must use any means necessary."
"I am a cultivator with a long life span. If you die, don't expect me to be sad for you!"
"Your words don't match your heart. That doesn't sound like something a cultivator would say. Aren't you afraid of ruining your heart?"
"Stop talking nonsense! There are still five big monsters to deal with! You take three and I take two!"
"Do you want to fight so hard?"
"Nonsense, I just want you to spend less time!"
"I know, Senior Sister, this is all for my own good. Come on, give me a kiss!"
"Get out of the way and get down to business!" Yi Ling said and flew to the next battlefield on his sword.
Li Yi shook his head and smiled, then rushed to the next target. This third-grade monster was no longer difficult for him. Yi Ling would also be outnumbered, so the battle between these five third-grade monsters would not be described in detail, and the focus would be on the monster army in Thunder Valley.
As the vanguard commander, Xiang Ying had to command the overall situation and could not join the battle personally. He could only watch from a high place. The tense battle in the valley made him anxious.
Although they had the advantage of terrain at the beginning and established a slight advantage with the help of drum sounds and surprise attacks, after the demon general reorganized the demon army, they were limited in numbers. Even the elite among the elite seemed so vulnerable in the confrontation with the demon army.
The general who led the troops to guard the valley entrance was Xiang Ying. The defenders here had to face the most fierce attacks from the demon army, so the pressure was naturally the greatest. Although Li Yi left the Laurel Sword to Xiang Ying, even though she used the Fate Method, she was still injured more than ten times and was covered in blood, but she still held her ground.
When large armies engage in a melee, generals on both sides generally do not use large-scale attack techniques in order to avoid hurting their companions, which makes the monster generals' advantages in size, strength and speed even more obvious.
Seeing that his sister was about to collapse, Xiang Ying could no longer bear it and said to his deputy general: "You take command! I'll go to help!" After that, he jumped into the valley with the Phoenix Halberd in his hand.
