Misery: There is a pawn shop here

Chapter 114 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, But Who Is the Oriole?
In order to resurrect the Demon Lord, the Otherworldly Demon Realm launched a fierce attack on the Sacred Domain. The Bodhi Rebirth Path could not withstand the combined attack of the demon generals, the seal shattered, and the Sacred Domain was revealed.
Yuan Huotianhuang, facing off against the three masters and the Arhats who had set up the Demon-Subduing Formation, fought against Di Cheng Yi Chanti, turning the Pure Holy Buddhist Realm into a living hell.

Devouring Buddha Child and Biejian Kuanghua traversed the chaotic battlefield, heading straight for the rear of the Holy Domain. There, they encountered a talisman sword blocking their path. Like a mantis stalking a cicada, Huanyu Qizang single-handedly blocked two demons. The gatekeeper of Shenwudao's gate sharpened, his slender sword challenging the talisman sword. Shenwudao's attacks constantly shifted. Huanyu Qizang knew his opponent was extraordinary and dared not be careless. During their fierce battle, Devouring Buddha Child reached the Ligou Mingdong, where the Demon Heart and Heavenly Throne body were located, only to encounter Wuzhen, the strongest martial monk in the Holy Domain. To protect the Demon Heart, the two Devouring Buddha Demons...
"This place is not a place for demons to set foot in, so retreat!" Wuzhen's body was full of vigor and vitality, like the sun, and he was a disciple of the Vajra of the Righteous Dharma, his body shining with golden light.

Upon hearing this, Tunfo Tongzi merely scoffed. His demonic fire blazed fiercely, and Zhu Yan appeared in his hand. Pointing the sword tip at the enemy, he uttered only one sentence: "I would like to ask for your guidance."

As soon as he finished speaking, the demon attacked first. Wuzhen's eyes were firm and he roared, and the Vajra Dharma Image reappeared behind him!

"Enlighten the truth and prove the Dharma, vow to defend the demonic heart, Tianfan proves the Dharma, shout!"

"Buddha is naive."

With a naive cry, Zhu Yan's sharp edge fell, and Wu Zhen closed in step by step, each move swift and rapid. His continuous, close-quarters attacks were all powerful, each strike carrying immense force, using short, dangerous, and forceful attacks to break through the encirclement of the Devouring Buddha Sword. However, facing the contemporary war god of the demon realm, a demon who had crawled out of countless battles and mountains of corpses and seas of blood, whose combat experience was far too rich, Devouring Buddha Child remained at ease as the sword's edge swirled.

After several chaotic exchanges, Wuzhen not only failed to gain the upper hand, but was also injured by the demonic fire of the sword. The sword marks on his body became more and more obvious, and the battle became more and more difficult.

"You can't hold me off with your desperate tactics, and you won't get any reinforcements."

With a relentless barrage of deadly moves in his hands and a constant barrage of verbal attacks, Tunfo Tongzi pressed forward relentlessly, saying, "Whether you're an icchantika or not, those masters will soon see their heads."

“If they hadn’t been at a disadvantage, how would I have been able to get here? You have no one to support you.”

"Demon, cease disturbing my Buddha's mind! My Buddha has proven the Dharma, shout!"

"Ha, how foolish the Buddha is! The red lotus swallows the sun!"

With a deafening roar, a thunderous crash shook the ground, revealing a sword dancing amidst a red lotus swallowing the Dharma image. The Buddha lamented the rise of the demonic path.

"Ah!" With the power of a single sword strike, Wuzhen was swept away and crashed heavily to the ground, blood flowing freely, taking away the life force of the Buddha.

Just as Tunfo Tongzi was about to move forward, he hadn't taken more than a few steps when he felt someone holding him down tightly.

"The demonic heart... must not be lost, the demonic heart... must not be..."

“Buddha, isn’t this also a kind of attachment?”

After the Buddha-swallowing boy finished his cold laugh, he pierced Wuzhen's spirit with a sword, and then demonic fire spread outward from the inside, completely extinguishing the Buddha's last bit of life.

After finishing all this, Tunfo Tongzi looked at the remnants of the Heavenly Throne within the seal before him.

As a former adversary of the Demon Realm, the Holy Domain was naturally no stranger to the Heavenly Throne Devouring Buddha Child. With a flick of the Zhu Yan, the firelight illuminated the entire Li Gou Ming Dong, and the attack broke through the seal. However, at that moment, a clang rang out, and the evil blade stood horizontally, blocking the demon's sword!
"Hmm?" Tunfo Tongzi frowned slightly as he looked at the swordsman before him, whose entire body exuded a sinister aura and whose features were distorted. "Swordsman, are you courting death?"

At this moment, the familiar black hole tunnel appeared on the other side. A heroic young swordsman walked out with his sword, broke the seal with a single stroke, and took a scroll of demonic heart in his hand.

"You are from a pawnshop?!"

Neither Mingzhan nor Qingsha responded. With the Demon Heart in hand, the passage behind them reappeared. Qingsha faced Tunfo Tongzi and retreated into the tunnel with Mingzhan, disappearing into the Ligou Mingdong.

"What a clever mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. There's a pawnshop here, and the Demon Realm is your weapon. Are you prepared to bear the consequences of the Demon Realm's wrath?" "Hey, the way you put it, it's like the Demon Heart is your possession."

At this moment, Li Xuanxiao's voice suddenly rang out.

"You also came to the Holy Land to steal, so naturally someone with the ability will know about such unclaimed items."

"Well said, a capable person knows this. The Demon Realm will not let this go so easily, hmph!"

Having interacted with Li Xuanxiao several times, Tunfo Tongzi naturally knew what kind of person Li Xuanxiao was. There was no point in saying more, so he withdrew from Ligou Mingdong to support Biejian Kuanghua. With a single sword strike, he forcibly forced back Huanyu Qizang.

"Retreat!" Tunfo Tongzi said, looking at Biejian Kuanghua.

Knowing they were powerless against the two, Huanyu Qizang ceased their pursuit. In the desolate wilderness of the Holy Domain, the gradually weakening resistance was a desperate struggle, with many casualties. The power of Shesheng Tongzi once again shook the Buddhist sect; Lei Po Shi's momentum was unstoppable. Even with Yi Chanti's full strength, he was no match and could only watch helplessly as the monks were slaughtered. Two figures flying out from the depths of the Holy Domain further alarmed Yi Chanti, who cried out in alarm.

"Eight-Leaf Lotus, go after them! You must retrieve the Heart of the Heavenly Throne! Hand this place over to me!"

After speaking, disregarding his severe injuries, Yi Chanti used his last bit of Yuan Power to send all the remaining fellow cultivators out of the Holy Domain. Then he turned around and forcibly engaged She Sheng Tongzi in battle. The Wolf Smoke Halberd also struck without hesitation, mercilessly piercing through Yi Chanti's body. The next move was about to completely tear Di Cheng apart. At the critical moment, the Universe Wonders came to the rescue. They clashed with She Sheng Tongzi with cursed swords and talismans. Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the latter did not linger and disappeared from the Holy Domain with the Thunder Wolf Beast.

"Pfft!"

"Hold on, Earth Rider, I will heal you."

"Devil's heart, devil's heart..."

"Earthly Path".

……

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the Holy Domain, Ba Ye Lian led the monks in pursuit of Tun Fo Tong Zi and Bie Jian Kuang Hua, determined to retrieve the Demon Heart. However, the exhausted and wounded monks were no match for the two demons. With You Jian Pawnshop intervening, Tun Fo Tong Zi, already displeased, became enraged upon seeing the monks relentlessly pursuing him. Demonic fire erupted, mercilessly devouring the lives of the monks.

At that very moment, a palm strike from beyond the heavens entered the battle, as Bei Chen Yuan Huang arrived to provide support. The palm and sword clashed, and the powerful energy forcefully pushed back the Devouring Buddha Child.

"Hmm? Bei Chen Yuan Huang, the last time you interfered in the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm had not yet settled accounts with you, and today you come here to seek your death again."

"Demons from another realm, as a person of the Bitter Realm, Bei Chen Yuan Huang shall fight you to the end, at any cost."

"Ah."

Tunfo Tongzi didn't believe a word Beichen Yuanhuang said. With the mission failed, there was no point in dwelling on the fighting. After a feint, Tunfo Tongzi and Biejian Huankuang disappeared from the battlefield. Meanwhile, Yuanhuo Tianhuang broke the Arhat Subduing Demon Formation with his Demon Blade, killed a group of Arhats and three Masters, and then retreated from the Holy Domain.

After a fierce battle, the sacred land of Qing Sheng was left in ruins, with only corpses and bloodstains remaining, and the monks hanging their heads in dejection, their morale shattered.
