Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 369 Capture
An Lu and Han Ya Dao Ren exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with a ruthless determination.

An Lu sat upright with his obese body, and a huge Buddha statue appeared behind him. Buddhist chants lingered from his mouth, and Buddha light shone brightly. Instantly, huge Buddha shadows appeared in all the heavens, obscuring this area of ​​the world.

Anlu's body seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light, and he attained Buddhahood in his physical body.

"Anlu's Buddhist magic is so powerful." The Cui and Xie family patriarchs were shocked by what they saw. They had no choice but to take this step. Anlu and the Cold Crow Daoist clearly did not want them to live. It was either death or becoming slaves of the imperial court.

Having lived in Qinghe County for centuries, the Cui and Xie families were naturally unwilling to submit to others and had no choice but to take the risk.

But now it seems that not only is the Cold Crow Taoist of extraordinary origin, born from the Taiping Temple, but the Prince of Qinghe also seems to have an unusual background.

Could it be someone from that temple?

If so...

The Buddhist chants continued unabated, and the patriarchs of the Cui and Xie families felt extremely uncomfortable as their souls were gradually affected. They guarded their minds and stared at An Lu's figure, as the Buddhist chants attacked their souls.

The Buddhist chants grew louder and louder, coming from all directions and surging into Xing Feng's ears at the very center. Suddenly, a Buddhist roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth, seemingly capable of splitting gold and shattering stone. The aura within the Cui family patriarch went berserk, and his soul trembled violently.

"Not good..." A thought arose in his mind. He looked at where Xing Feng was. He saw that the other party stood like a mountain, his body gradually merging with his martial spirit. The demonic ape also opened a pair of eyes in its navel.

The demonic ape opened its massive maw and let out a furious roar. The violent sound waves caused the surrounding air to explode, and the ever-surging phantom of the Buddha statue continuously collapsed and shattered.

Directly in front of Xing Feng, another phantom Buddha statue roared in and exploded and destroyed under the sound waves. However, at this moment, a beam of golden light burst forth from the exploded Buddha statue, breaking through the demonic ape's sonic attack and piercing towards the demonic ape's body.

"Pfft..."

This golden light was extremely fast, arriving almost instantly and penetrating the demon ape's skin to enter its body.

"Attack!" Jian Anlu shouted almost instantly, his body rushing forward. The Cold Crow Daoist from the other direction naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity, his burly body transforming into a shooting star as he shot towards the demonic ape.

"mean."

The ancestors of the Cui and Xie families were furious at the sight. The Xie family ancestor had already nocked his divine arrow, while the Cui family ancestor was leaning forward, ready to provide support.

An Lu, the Prince of Qinghe, is now resorting to underhanded tactics. His Buddhist chanting attack conceals a treacherous magic weapon, which is likely to put Xing Feng in a very bad situation.

The moment the golden light entered Xing Feng's body, he felt his soul being sealed, and the demonic ape's body seemed to freeze. All the energy within his body was locked up, and the golden light that entered his body continued to expand, like a sealing force.

As the two figures shot towards them, turning into streaks of light, both An Lu and the Cold Crow Daoist possessed terrifying close-combat power.

Even Li Fan below looked worried when he saw this scene. Would Uncle Xing Feng be alright after being ambushed?
However, his junior brother beside him watched all this calmly, which put Li Fan at ease.

On the contrary, Huang Xiong in the crowd was unusually nervous. He had just met his master and formally become his disciple. How could anything happen to him?

Both figures moved at terrifying speeds, arriving in an instant. At that moment, an incredibly wild wave of energy swept out from the demonic ape, followed by a long roar, and the massive demonic ape's body radiated an extremely dazzling light.

"boom……"

Two explosive sounds rang out as the demonic ape unleashed its massive fists simultaneously, directly striking the incoming Buddhist handprint and the ferocious fist of the Cold Crow Daoist.

"Bang." The Buddhist palm print shattered, and the body of the Cold Crow Daoist was also blasted back.

The demonic ape roared to the sky, and with a soft "poof," a golden light shot out from its body and flew into the distance, causing An Lu's expression to change drastically, his fierce and violent eyes fixed on him.

The next moment, he saw the demonic ape move forward. Its body, as majestic as a mountain, was moving forward at a terrifying speed. The wind and clouds in the sky changed, and martial aura shone on the demonic ape's body. Its violent body seemed to be burning.

Everyone below was stunned by the scene unfolding overhead; the impact was immense…

"clang."

Anlu's expression was solemn. Rows of Buddha figures appeared around him, then overlapped and merged into his body. He seemed to transform into a golden ancient Buddha. He raised his palm and slammed it forward. The trembling Buddha light ignited golden divine radiance. The huge '卍' character in the center of the palm print spun wildly, causing countless palm print phantoms to explode out at the same time.

"The Great Sun Tathagata Seal."

The Cui family patriarch stared at the scene before him with a gloomy expression. Was it really so?
"Boom boom boom boom..." One palm print after another collapsed and shattered wildly. The demonic ape crushed forward all the way, as if the sky and earth were collapsing and splitting apart, and punched the Great Sun Tathagata Seal.

Golden light filled the sky, the Great Sun Tathagata Seal shattered and collapsed, and the Demonic Ape Divine Fist continued to slam into Anlu's Buddha body. Crackling sounds rang out as the Buddha body shattered continuously, and Anlu's body was sent flying, spitting blood, before returning to its original form. "Uncle Xing's divine power was the Ape God Transformation, and even though his cultivation level was higher than Anlu's, he still didn't kill him with a single punch. This Anlu..." Wen Ruyu said in a low voice below, "Buddha... Temple."

Were they involved as well?

After injuring An Lu, Xing Feng strode towards Han Ya Dao Ren. The extremely wild power caused Han Ya Dao Ren's expression to change drastically. Runes filled the sky, transforming into countless characters for suppressing demons. The demon-suppressing stone tablet frantically attacked Xing Feng, but it was directly shattered by Xing Feng's violent body.

"brute."

The Cold Crow Daoist stared ahead and cursed under his breath. With a loud bang, an extremely violent power erupted from his body. Strands of runic light flickered on his burly body, but as the demonic ape's body approached, the oppressive feeling grew stronger and stronger, as if a single blow to him would be enough to shatter him.

The charging demonic ape appeared before him, throwing a punch that blotted out the sky and overwhelmed his vision. The Cold Crow Daoist roared, his body instantly swelling up, manifesting the Dharma of Heaven and Earth, and a colossal Hou demon appeared in the sky.

The Hou demon seemed to be covered in countless runes, its magic and physical body fused together, and it slammed its fist at the demonic ape that was attacking from the opposite side.

"Boom..."

The sky seemed to explode, a destructive storm swept across the heavens, and talismanic light filled the sky. The Hou demon that the Cold Crow Daoist had transformed into let out a deafening roar, but its huge body was still blasted away, coughing up blood.

"The Hou Demon... it's real." The crowd below was shocked when they saw the Cold Crow Daoist transform into the Hou Demon. Didn't this mean that the demon calamity in Qinghe County was actually caused by human error?
Prince Anlu of Qinghe had arranged all of this, having the Cold Crow Daoist cooperate in staging a play to slaughter the cultivators of Qinghe County. Then, in the name of the Prince's Mansion, he would exterminate demons to gain prestige, and subsequently convene this demon-slaying conference to bring all the cultivators of Qinghe County under his control.

At the same time, suppress the powerful families of Qinghe County, led by the Cui and Xie families, and force them to relinquish their power over Qinghe County.

If it weren't for the appearance of the cultivators from Lishan, everything would have gone according to Anlu's plan. The Prince of Qinghe would have become famous throughout the region, and the name of the Crown Prince Anshicheng, the pride of heaven, would have spread throughout Qinghe County.

The Taoist of Cold Crow would be regarded as a deity and revered.

Thinking of this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

An Lu is cunning and ruthless, launching a conspiracy to completely wipe out the cultivation world of Qinghe County.

"You evil Taoist, what else do you have to say?"

As Xing Feng's voice rang out, the demonic ape's body shot forward once again.

But then runes flashed on the Hou demon's body again, and it turned around and fled at an equally terrifying speed.

Just as Xing Feng was about to give chase, he saw An Lu move in another direction, turn around and flee. Since he was no match for him, there was no point in staying. The most important thing now was to survive.

Xing Feng glanced at the two figures, but ultimately abandoned Han Ya Dao Ren and rushed towards An Lu. This Prince of Qinghe was appointed by the imperial court and must know more, which was also his goal for this trip.

"Where do you think you're going, you evil Taoist?" The Xie family patriarch shot out a divine arrow, chasing after the fleeing Cold Crow Taoist. He also moved forward, wanting to avenge that day.

"Anlu, as a prince of the imperial court, you have colluded with evil cultivators to slaughter cultivators. What is your crime?" The patriarch of the Cui family shouted. This time, they had risked their lives and fortunes. Now that they had exposed the other party's conspiracy, even the imperial court would have nothing to say, right?
Anlu understood this as well; his reign as Prince of Qinghe was coming to an end.

But as long as he can escape from here, the imperial court will only pretend to arrest him.

But how could the Cui family patriarch let him leave so easily? He kept his eyes on An Lu and blocked his way the moment he tried to escape. A barrage of palm prints came crashing down on An Lu.

Anlu was forced to stop. With a clang, the image of a Buddha appeared behind him, and countless Buddha handprints blasted out. But at this moment, a roar came from behind him. It was as if Anlu had eyes in the back of his head, and the Buddha handprints reversed.

But then an enormous, boundless demonic ape hand came crashing down, shattering all the Buddhist hand seals. The giant hand continued to crush forward, and Anlu turned around and roared. With his hands clasped together, a Buddha statue enveloped his body, and the giant hand pushed forward, sending golden waves sweeping across the sky.

The demonic ape's giant hand crushed the wind and clouds, colliding with the golden hand and causing it to collapse, crashing down on the Buddha's body.

The golden body shattered, and the attacks from the Cui family patriarch behind him rained down relentlessly, causing more and more cracks to appear on the Buddha's body.

"Thump." The demonic ape slammed down with another punch, shattering the Buddha's body. Its enormous hand gripped Anlu's fat golden body, holding him down to prevent his escape. The immense force continued to press down, crushing Anlu's golden body.

"It's over..."

An Lu had a thought: if he fell into the hands of those who left the mountain, he would surely die.
