Longzang

Chapter 1108 What did you say?
Watching the girl being pounced on and torn apart by the pack of beasts, Wei Yuan experienced for the first time what it felt like to be powerless. It was a tearing in an instant, the wounds jagged and uneven, blood perhaps flowing, perhaps not yet flowing.

The boy was also overwhelmed and submerged by the horde of beasts. Wei Yuan had already seen his face clearly; it was his own face at eleven or twelve years old. It wasn't just the appearance that was the same, but everything inside and out, in reality and in illusion, was identical. Just like Wei Yuan in the mirror, in the mirror world, he was also Wei Yuan, but the two experienced different worlds and walked different paths.

Wei Yuan felt nothing for the boy's plight. It wasn't for any other reason than that Wei Yuan believed fighting to the death in this situation was his duty, and not abandoning his comrades to flee was his obligation, especially since it was Ji Liuli. Therefore, Wei Yuan couldn't empathize with him, nor did he think there was anything remarkable about his own heroic sacrifice.

Wei Yuan suppressed his surging emotions and continued to focus on fighting the monsters. The monster horde was far stronger than Wei Yuan overall, but despite their numbers, only a few managed to get close enough to reach him. With Wei Yuan's exceptional close-combat skills, any monster that got close was instantly pinned down, and in the blink of an eye, the lifeless parts of its body would exceed the critical point, resulting in its complete death.

Wei Yuan didn't aim to kill them on the spot, but instead patiently dealt damage to each monster one by one. For intact monsters, Wei Yuan focused on attacking their motor organs, first reducing their mobility, then their senses, and finally looking for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow. No matter how good the opportunity was, Wei Yuan would never trade blows with his opponent, preferring to give up the opportunity and dodge first.

And so, amidst the onslaught of hundreds of monsters, Wei Yuan swiftly slayed dozens without sustaining a scratch. Meanwhile, on the distant mountain ridge, the snow beast herd had slowly dispersed, leaving only two pools of blood in their wake.

Wei Yuan ignored them, focusing solely on dealing with the horde of monsters in front of him.

The young monk strolled through the air, leisurely arriving above. Looking down at Wei Yuan from his vantage point, he said slowly, "Your past evil deeds have brought you to this day. Do you understand now? Stop being so stubborn. Come with me, and you will still have a chance to cleanse your sins and regain your true nature."

Under normal circumstances, most arrogant people would sneer and say, "What crime have I committed?"

Even if Wei Yuan didn't say those words, no matter what he said, the little monk would have a corresponding response waiting for him.

However, the young monk waited for a long time, but Wei Yuan didn't say a word or even glance at him, focusing solely on killing the monsters. At this rate, as long as Wei Yuan didn't run out of energy, he might actually wipe out all the monsters.

The young monk had a kind face, but a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. Then, in a calm tone, he said, "You have committed a sin, and there was originally a glimmer of hope for you. But if you remain stubborn and do not repent, then even I cannot save you."

Wei Yuan continued to focus on slaying monsters, ignoring the young monk's words. The young monk's face turned cold, and a faint golden Buddhist light appeared between his brows. He slowly said, "Since you are unwilling to listen to the sutras, then this humble monk also knows a little martial arts..."

Just then, Wei Yuan suddenly looked up and asked, "What were you saying just now?"

The young monk was taken aback, then said, “Benefactor, in your past and present lives, you have repeatedly committed evil deeds, accumulating heavy karmic retribution and grave sins. Today, I have come specifically to subdue this wretched beast! If you can lay down your butcher's knife and repent, there is still a glimmer of hope for your survival. Otherwise, I will take you back and make you my mount for eternity, with no chance of liberation!”

After saying this, Wei Yuan resumed his battle, fighting for a while longer until the little monk's patience was almost exhausted. He then replied, "You say I am deeply sinful, having repeatedly committed evil... Master, please tell me... what did I do in my past life... and what have I done in this life..."

Wei Yuan was panting heavily. He could only ask a question after several blows, and then he could only say the next sentence after several more blows.

The young monk let out a cold laugh and said, "In your previous life you were..."

He had barely begun speaking when the little monk's expression suddenly changed as he noticed the monsters falling one after another! In the blink of an eye, only a dozen or so remained in the air!

The young monk then realized that Wei Yuan was simply trying to buy time to eliminate the ambush of the void demons. These demons weren't infinite in number; only a dozen or so remained, and there were no new ones to replace them.

The little monk realized he had been tricked and was furious. He uttered a Buddhist chant, and all the surviving monsters were suddenly covered in a golden light. Their entire forms changed, becoming taller, larger, and more ferocious!
Could Buddha's light really empower void demons? Wei Yuan quickly searched his mind, but found no relevant information in the limited Buddhist scriptures. Theoretically, Buddha's light is the nemesis of all evil spirits, poisons, and karmic resentment, and it is also quite effective in dealing with threats from the void beyond the heavens, making it one of the most effective powers in the world.

But in the hands of this young monk, the Buddha's light could actually be bestowed upon the void demons, greatly enhancing their physical functions. After being blessed by the Buddha's light, these void demons even possessed a somewhat sacred and solemn aura.

The three-faced human head faintly appeared above Wei Yuan's head once again, this time with only one eye open. Immediately, Wei Yuan moved like lightning, punching the void monster.

The golden light on the monster's body was so intense that it was almost forming armor. However, when Wei Yuan threw a punch, there was a loud clang, like the sound of an ancient bell. The golden armor shattered completely, not just in pieces, but entirely. It also slashed the void demon all over, leaving it on the verge of death!
Wei Yuan unleashed several punches, but the armor formed from Buddhist light proved utterly ineffective against him. Not only did it shatter, but it also wounded the attached void demons, instantly injuring them severely.

In the blink of an eye, all the surviving monsters were annihilated, none spared.

The young monk's expression changed drastically. He never expected that the demon, which had been enhanced by the Buddha's light, would become so vulnerable, its combat power even significantly weaker than before.

Before the young monk could think about why he was doing this, seeing that Wei Yuan was about to escape, he immediately took off his cassock and covered Wei Yuan's head with it!
As the cassock approached, Wei Yuan shrank smaller and smaller, seemingly turning into an insect, before finally being absorbed into the cassock.

However, Wei Yuan's body kept changing size, clearly indicating that the robe's power was insufficient to restrain him, let alone shrink him. The little monk found it unbelievable; he had offered up a precious artifact from before the Buddha, how could it fail to suppress a sinful beast?

The robe fell down, and a large bulge appeared in the center, wriggling rapidly. Meanwhile, the magical power within the robe was being rapidly depleted, far exceeding the little monk's expectations!
The young monk's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to retract his robe, he suddenly saw a tear in the middle. Then, two hands emerged from the tear and pulled hard, ripping the entire robe in two. A supreme Buddhist treasure was thus destroyed.

Wei Yuan emerged from the cassock and lunged at the young monk. The young monk remained calm, chanting incantations, and a nine-ringed staff appeared in his hand. He thrust the staff towards Wei Yuan's chest!

This staff is also a Buddhist treasure, indestructible and unbreakable, capable of piercing even divine weapons and armor.

He thrust out his staff, which was already at Wei Yuan's chest! The little monk had originally expected Wei Yuan to retreat, block, or dodge, after all, the power of the Buddhist treasure was enormous, and Wei Yuan's current physical body was simply unable to withstand it.

But the little monk never expected that Wei Yuan would not dodge or avoid, but instead accelerated and crashed into the monk's staff!

The staff pierced through Wei Yuan's body, its patterns scraping and tearing at his flesh, creating a huge wound.

Wei Yuan's body slid forward along the staff, instantly appearing in front of the little monk. He stretched out his hands and grabbed the little monk's head, pressing his thumbs into the little monk's eye sockets!

Wei Yuan was severely injured, blood spurting from his eyes, mouth, and nose, making him look ferocious. But his eyes were unusually cold and calm, without the slightest fluctuation, so indifferent as to be unlike those of a human, as he simply stared at the little monk.

The little monk's face suddenly showed extreme panic and fear, but before he could utter a sound, Wei Yuan had already exerted force with all ten fingers!

With a bang, the little monk's head burst open like a watermelon, juice splattering everywhere.
