Bodhisattva, please help me in my spiritual practice!

Chen Xiaodao, draped in a cloak and wrapped in gunpowder, moved through the shadows.

But just as the matchmaker said, this shadowy passage is not stable. Sharp Buddhist light shines down from all directions from time to time. This Buddhist light is like a knife. If you touch it even slightly, you will be cut.

Moreover, the Buddha's light and shadows are intertwined, and some paths are unavoidable, leaving one no choice but to forcibly walk forward through the razor-sharp edge of the Buddha's light.

What's even more terrifying is that after being cut by the Buddha's light, a Buddhist intention will arise in one's heart, and one will only want to worship Buddha and do good, lay down the butcher's knife, no longer care about all the suffering in this secular world, and only want to pursue rebirth in the Pure Land.

Chen Xiaodao gritted his teeth. With the blessing of the Six Banners supernatural power, his thoughts became clearer under the cutting of the Buddha's light.

He knew what he was supposed to do.

"Damn Buddha, you've escaped suffering, so why are you blocking my way?!"

After cursing, he felt relieved, and the Buddha's light that cut his body was no longer sharp.

Having traversed hundreds of meters through the shadows, Chen Xiaodao entered the watchtower. At this moment, he was covered in blood, and his entire [Lesser Yin Rat Fur] was tattered by the Buddha's light.

However, the ability to conceal secrets remained, allowing the petite Chen Xiaodao to hide successfully.

He was discovered by a Japanese soldier patrolling inside the blockhouse after he had buried the fifth bundle of explosives.

The moment their eyes met, the Japanese soldier instinctively wanted to raise his gun, but the space inside the blockhouse was cramped, and by the time they turned the corner and spotted each other, they were less than two meters apart.

With the blessing of the Six Banners, Chen Xiaodao, whose speed was already slightly faster than that of ordinary people, was now like a leopard pouncing on its prey from the shadows.

The moment the Japanese soldier raised his gun and fired, Chen Xiaodao forcefully slashed his neck, and blood gushed out.

As the Japanese invaders fell, Chen Xiaodao shook the small knife he used to cut packages, coughed up blood, and laughed, "You're still the best."

However, by this time, he was already at his last gasp.

Passing through the passage where shadows and Buddhist light intertwined, he was covered in wounds and bleeding profusely. He had planted five explosives and was holding his breath, but now, suddenly he went on a killing spree, and that breath was released. Even his vision began to blur.

Just then, the alarm bells outside blared, and the people inside the bunker also heard the gunshots. The three of them went down the spiral staircase to investigate.

Chen Xiaodao took out a tinderbox, blew on it, and a spark ignited. Then, the intense heat spread out and illuminated the entire watchtower!

boom!

A thunderous roar erupted from inside the watchtower, as if sounding the call to attack.

……

The thunderous explosion reached the training ground not far away.

Ordinary people wouldn't understand why, but the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty suddenly stood up, looking uneasy in the direction of the mandala.

Tanaka gripped the handrail tightly. On the arena, Ao Peng had already killed six people. He quickly whispered, "Ashina, you go!"

At this point, he couldn't care less about using honorifics.

He didn't know what had happened at the altar, but if he wanted to defend, he needed to kill this player in plain sight first; otherwise, if he hesitated, he would only be attacked from both sides.

Although Ashina was unhappy with Tanaka's nickname, he knew that sending those useless people into battle was just suicide.

Holding a katana, he leaped onto the stage and bowed respectfully to Ao Peng, saying, "I wish to test my weapons against you. The sword in my hand is called Red Demon Child Cutter."

He had heard rumors about Ao Peng and knew that the other party was almost invulnerable to swords and spears, but the Red Demon Child Cutter in his hand had slain demons and gods before, and today he would restore his reputation.

Ao Peng glanced at the other party and cast an Appraisal spell.

Koichi Ashina

Strength: 2.1, Constitution: 1.7, Speed: 2.1, Spirit: 2

Skills: Ashina-style swordsmanship (minor mastery), Ashina-style spear fighting (minor mastery), Zen meditation (mastery)

He glanced at the stands; the last emperor of the Qing dynasty was becoming increasingly uneasy, but he didn't realize that he was also gripping Yin Yin's hand tighter and tighter.

The members of the Huaxing Society immediately and respectfully handed over Ao Peng's precious sword.

Seeing that Ao Peng had his weapon ready, Ashina Hiroichi got into a fighting stance. He stepped forward with his left foot, lowered his upper body, and gripped the unsheathed katana in his right hand, making him look like a drawn bow.

Meanwhile, on the stands, the shikigami that had been clinging to Tanaka had vanished without a trace. He was naturally worried about Ashina taking on Ao Peng alone.

The shikigami he raised was named Sode no Kami, and its direct combat power was not strong; in fact, it could be said to be weak.

However, his supernatural power is extremely peculiar and is called "Transcending Domains".

Generally speaking, a deity's divine domain can be considered part of their power. Once a divine domain is opened, no one else can enter without the deity's permission.

However, the Sleeve God can directly penetrate the divine realm without being detected by the gods.

The Sleeve God's attack method is to secretly sneak into the divine realm and then grab the deity's sleeve or arm. As long as the arm is grabbed, the Sleeve God will unleash a strange curse. If the sleeve or arm is not severed, the deity will die instantly!

On the arena, Ashina Koichi suddenly shot ten meters into the air like an arrow, almost instantly stepping towards Ao Peng. A flowing blade of light swept from the side, like a curtain, cutting through the air with a whistling sound, aiming straight for Ao Peng's neck!

The moment Ao Peng raised his knife, he suddenly felt an ugly little figure clinging to his right shoulder. The figure had a head as big as a bucket and thin limbs, and looked like a starving ghost. It clung tightly to his shoulder, preventing him from swinging his knife.

However, the little man wasn't very strong; he could be easily shaken off.

However, Ao Peng himself possessed supernatural powers related to cause and effect and curses. When this strange little man clung to his shoulder, he realized that he had been silently cursed!

The most dangerous aspect of curse techniques is that if you violate the taboo without knowing the specific details, you will die instantly!

In Chinese mythology, many gods have been killed by curses.

However, once the characteristics of the curse are understood, there will be corresponding ways to break it.

The supernatural power of "Minor Karma"!

Following the power of cause and effect, Ao Peng instantly activated his supernatural abilities.

The next instant, Yin Yin, who was sitting next to the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, suddenly made a strange move. She reached out and grabbed Tanaka's shoulder.

Tanaka, who was casting a spell, felt something strange on his shoulder. He turned his head curiously to look at Yin Yin and met a pair of dark, bottomless eyes.

The next moment, chaos spread from Yin Yin's body, instantly enveloping everything around her.

In the instant that Little Chaos activated 'Minor Cause and Effect', Ao Peng also learned about the characteristics of the Sleeve God.

At this critical moment, he actually used his right arm to meet Ashina Koichi's slash head-on.

The blade flashed relentlessly, severing Ao Peng's entire right arm. The sleeves that were clinging to Ao Peng were also thrown off and fell to the ground.

In the darkness, Ashina Koichi did indeed have the feeling that he had struck a human body, but the sudden darkness around him made it impossible for him to see or hear anything.

Ao Peng walked over to his severed arm, picked it up. Not a drop of blood had flowed from it. He then placed it on the broken part of his arm. Kundalini fire and Yin energy intertwined to form needle and thread, and in just a few breaths, he had sewn the arm back together. In the past month or so, besides martial arts, his greatest progress had been in this sewing technique that combined Yin and Yang principles.

He waved his right hand; although it wasn't fully healed, it was already usable. So he swung the tiger-headed sword and severed the head of the sleeve-clad god who was groping in the darkness.

He turned his head and looked coldly at Tanaka, who was caught by Chaos in the stands and was still unaware of what was going on.

Trying to play curses with me? You're still too green.
