Journey to the West: Deer Power Immortal, Starting from Becoming a Disciple of the Supreme Lord Tais

Nine-Headed Insect, stung by the attack, turned ashen-faced and roared, "Enough with the nonsense!"

With a flick of his longsword, a streak of black light shot straight for Lu Qingxuan's throat.

At the same time, the King of Inspiration attacked, his nine-petaled red copper hammer crashing down with the force of thunder.

The two worked together seamlessly, having planned this all along.

Tiger Power Immortal roared, and his crescent shovel met the Nine-Headed Insect's longsword.

With a clang, the shovel and sword clashed, sparks flying everywhere.

Although Tiger Power Immortal was strong, he was no match for Nine-Headed Insect. He retreated several steps, his tiger's mouth trembling from the impact.

At the same time, Yangli Daxian made a move to slow down Linggan Dawang's attack, but was knocked away by Linggan Dawang's hammer and staggered backward.

Instead of retreating, Lu Qingxuan advanced, his longsword transforming into a streak of azure light, piercing straight at the ribs of the Nine-Headed Insect.

Nine-Headed Insect dodged to the side, his longsword swirling around as he engaged Lu Qingxuan in battle.

Lu Qingxuan's swordsmanship was exquisite, and he was also protected by the alchemy furnace. In comparison, the Nine-Headed Insect's strength was greatly reduced without the Crescent Shovel, and it was somewhat unable to do anything to Lu Qingxuan.

Seeing that the Nine-Headed Insect could not be defeated after a long attack, the Great King of Inspiration abandoned Tiger Power and Sheep Power, and turned around to smash Lu Qingxuan with his hammer.

Even when facing two opponents alone, Lu Qingxuan remained completely at ease.

The more Nine-Headed Insect fought, the more alarmed he became. He had lost his Crescent Shovel, and although this longsword was also a decent magic weapon, it didn't suit him, and he couldn't use many of his exquisite moves.

On the other hand, Lu Qingxuan's swordsmanship and alchemy furnace were perfectly coordinated, which was a real headache.

The Great King of Inspiration was even more frustrated. His nine-petaled red copper hammer was originally a heavy weapon, meant to overcome all techniques with sheer force. However, the purple alchemy furnace seemed to be the natural nemesis of his copper hammer. Every time he struck, most of the force would be neutralized.

The remaining recoil force was too much for him to handle.

"Damn it!"

A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the Inspiration King.

He feinted with his hammer, then took a few steps back and reached into his robes to pull out something.

It was a willow leaf, entirely emerald green, only about three inches long, yet it faintly shimmered with a Buddhist light.

This item was a willow leaf that he casually picked from the Bodhisattva's vase when he sneaked out of Mount Putuo.

Although it is only a single leaf, it contains a wisp of the Bodhisattva's power, and its power is extraordinary!

"Lu Qingxuan, prepare to die!" King Linggan hurled the willow leaf.

The willow leaf flew out of his hand and burst into long growth in the wind, instantly transforming into a three-foot-long emerald green short sword that shot towards Lu Qingxuan's heart.

This is the power of the Bodhisattva; though it is only a wisp, it is enough to slay an immortal.

Lu Qingxuan's pupils contracted, and his heart tightened.

The willow-leaf sword was too fast and too powerful; he simply didn't have time to dodge it.

Seeing an opportunity, the Nine-Headed Insect flicked its longsword, blocking his retreat.

At this critical moment, the purple alchemy furnace hanging above Lu Qingxuan's head suddenly flew up on its own.

The furnace body shone with a brilliant purple light, and the totem of all things instantly shone to its fullest extent. Before Lu Qingxuan could even activate it, it took the initiative to meet the willow-leaf sword.

clang!

A clear, resonant clang of metal rang out, causing the air within a hundred feet to tremble.

The willow-leaf sword pierced the alchemy furnace, and the Buddhist light and purple light collided fiercely, bursting out with dazzling light.

The light was so intense that even Tiger Power Immortal and Sheep Power Immortal couldn't open their eyes.

The alchemy furnace hummed and trembled, and the myriad totems on its surface flickered violently, as if it were under immense pressure.

But the alchemy furnace, as expected of an item from the Tushita Palace, was made of extraordinary materials and managed to neutralize most of the force of the willow-leaf sword.

The remaining force, transmitted through the alchemy furnace, caused Lu Qingxuan's blood and qi to surge.

After the attack, the willow-leaf sword lost its edge, trembled in the air, and turned into an ordinary willow leaf, drifting down to the sea.

On the other hand, the alchemy furnace seemed to be enraged by this attack, emitting a deafening hum, and an overwhelming force surged out of the furnace, transforming into a purple beam of light that blasted towards the Great King Linggan and the Nine-Headed Insect.

The beam of light came too fast; the Nine-Headed Insect and the Great King of Inspiration had no time to dodge.

With a loud bang, the two were struck by the purple beam of light and sent flying backward like kites with broken strings, crashing heavily onto the beach several meters away.

The two lay on the beach, blood gushing from their mouths, their bodies riddled with broken bones.

Tiger Power Immortal and Sheep Power Immortal were stunned.

They knew Lu Qingxuan's alchemy furnace was powerful, but they never imagined it would be this powerful.

It could even block Guanyin Bodhisattva's attack with a willow leaf and injure two great demon kings in return!

Lu Qingxuan recalled the alchemy furnace, held it in his palm, and looked down at the shallow sword mark on the furnace, his heart filled with heartache.

If it weren't for the alchemy furnace protecting him, he would probably have already died from that attack.

But the methods they used to protect their master...

A figure immediately flashed into Lu Qingxuan's mind: the Supreme Dao Ancestor!

The Dao Ancestor still cares for his disciple!

After putting away the alchemy furnace, Lu Qingxuan drew his sword and walked towards the Nine-Headed Insect and the Great King of Inspiration.

Tiger Power Immortal picked up the crescent shovel from the ground and followed behind him, saying in a deep voice, "Brother, these two demons have repeatedly caused you trouble; they cannot be allowed to live."

The Great Immortal Yangli also said, "Let's kill them and end it all."

Lu Qingxuan stood in front of the two demons, but did not answer for a long time.

Nine-Headed Insect, one of the tribulations at Bibo Pool on the journey to the West, is engaged to Princess Wansheng, daughter of the Dragon King of Wansheng. He will later help the White Dragon change his mind and plays a significant role in the Journey to the West.

As for the origin of the Great King of Inspiration, it goes without saying that he was a koi carp under the seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and he was the great calamity of the Tongtian River.

If these two demons die here, two of the tribulations of the Journey to the West will be missing, and will the destiny be disrupted as a result?

Furthermore,

Based on the previous situation, they had just captured the Golden-Nosed White-Haired Rat when the Buddhist sect arrived. It's possible that the Buddhist sect was not paying attention to this battle.

If he were to kill him in a fit of rage, the Buddhist sect would likely take action against him.

But if he doesn't take action, wouldn't Lu Qingxuan become an easy target?

After a moment's thought, Lu Qingxuan made a bold decision.

Since the Buddhist sect is watching, they will certainly not allow him to kill these two demons.

By then,

The situation will change once the other party shows up...

Thinking of this, Lu Qingxuan slashed down with his longsword, aiming straight for the necks of the two demons.

"Amitabha..."

A golden light descended from the west, landing on the two demons and blocking Lu Qingxuan's longsword.

Lu Qingxuan's lips curled slightly, as expected...

As the golden light faded, a cloaked brocade robe and a staff appeared, revealing an Arhat with long eyebrows reaching his shoulders and a compassionate face. He was none other than the Long-Eyebrowed Arhat, one of the Eighteen Arhats!

Behind him followed a younger venerable one, holding a purple-gold alms bowl, his head bowed and eyes lowered, not daring to utter a word.

"Amitabha."

The long-browed Arhat chanted a Buddhist prayer, his gaze sweeping over the heavily injured Nine-Headed Insect and the Great King of Inspiration before finally settling on Lu Qingxuan: "Daoist Lu, I hope you will show mercy."

Lu Qingxuan pretended not to understand, frowning slightly: "Luohan's arrival is timely. These two demons have tried to harm me three times, yet Luohan pleaded for them. What does this mean?"

The Arhat with long eyebrows smiled slightly and said, "Daoist Master, please calm down. Although these two have a thousand faults, they are still somewhat connected with our Buddhist sect. If they die at your hands today, it will be difficult to explain to the World Honored One..."
