Chapter 776 - 774: Mirror Tathāgata
"Alright." Fa Wu nodded in agreement.
It’s best if Mo Lin comes, but if he doesn’t, then so be it.
No loss, really.
Guo Qi held a stick over one meter long in his right hand.
He charged towards Qu Qing.
The long stick in his hand glowed with entwined golden Buddhist text, swinging down towards Qu Qing.
Qu Qing wasn’t inexperienced either; the Four Lives Reincarnation Seal emerged on his forehead.
This seal was the mark of Qu Qing’s Four Lives Reincarnation Immortal.
All the power from his four lives was in this reincarnation seal.
A bright light surged from Qu Qing’s forehead, instantly revealing the power of the Four Lives Reincarnation Immortal.
"Whoosh..."
The power of the Four Lives Reincarnation Immortal surged towards Guo Qi like a tidal wave.
Guo Qi wielded his stick to fend off the incoming power of the Four Lives Reincarnation Immortal.
Guo Qi’s stick spun, unleashing Buddha’s Radiance, which also emanated from behind his head.
Buddha’s Radiance successfully blocked Qu Qing’s attack.
But this was not the end.
Qu Qing exerted more force, with the power of the Four Lives Reincarnation Immortal forming a golden figure.
This golden figure encompassed Qu Qing.
Qu Qing made a punching motion, and the golden figure mirrored the punch.
"Bang!"
The punch struck Guo Qi’s wooden stick, forcing Guo Qi to retreat.
Qu Qing unleashed his trump card.
If Guo Qi didn’t employ some techniques, he surely wouldn’t gain the upper hand.
Guo Qi swung the stick in his hand, the golden Buddha’s Radiance forming the shape of a fierce tiger.
The tiger lunged towards Qu Qing, attempting to bite him.
Qu Qing swung his fist again, the golden figure striking at the fierce tiger.
At this moment, Qu Qing and Guo Qi were evenly matched, neither able to gain the upper hand.
In the distance, someone who looked exactly like Guo Qi made a move.
This person also employed Buddhist Dharma, conjuring a fierce tiger that lunged at Qu Qing.
Not only did this person look exactly like Guo Qi, but their techniques and magic were identical too.
Even their power matched Guo Qi’s.
These dozens of individuals could all be called Guo Qi.
This was his Buddhist Dharma technique.
Several other individuals who looked like Guo Qi also acted.
Qu Qing could defeat one Guo Qi, but not seven Guo Qi.
"Bang."
Qu Qing’s golden light shattered, and the power of the Four Lives Reincarnation Immortal was destroyed.
A long stick struck heavily against Qu Qing’s chest.
Qu Qing spat blood and collapsed onto the ground.
In the distance, Hui Chen had not yet made his move.
If he did, later on, he wouldn’t have the strength to compete for the City God’s Snake Imperial Token.
At this moment, a wave of Sword Qi slashed forth.
The white Sword Qi resembled a waterfall as it sliced towards Guo Qi.
Guo Qi was shaken back more than a dozen meters.
At that moment, all the people present suddenly reacted.
"Mo Lin has finally arrived."
Mo Lin approached Qu Qing and softly spoke to him, "Leave the rest to me, take cover."
Qu Qing nodded and backed away with his injured body.
He knew very well that he was injured, and his power had drastically decreased.
The only thing he could do now was to stay aside and not hold Mo Lin back.
When Fa Wu saw Mo Lin arrive, he wore a smug smile.
"Mo Lin, you finally came."
"Who are you?" Mo Lin asked Fa Wu.
"I am the Goddess’s chief disciple, Fa Wu." Fa Wu voluntarily revealed his identity.
Mo Lin hadn’t felt such a strong intent to kill initially.
But after hearing Fa Wu’s identity, Mo Lin’s deep-seated killing intent couldn’t be concealed.
At this moment, Mo Lin felt he had made the right choice in coming.
The Cyan Cloud Sword hovered in front of Mo Lin.
Mo Lin charged at Fa Wu with his sword.
Just as Mo Lin prepared to strike, a wooden stick smashed towards him.
Mo Lin swung the Cyan Cloud Sword to block the incoming wooden stick.
The wooden stick hit the Cyan Cloud Sword and surprisingly didn’t break.
This left Mo Lin somewhat surprised.
Mo Lin performed the Jingming Evil-slaying Swordsmanship.
"Jingming."
The sky was enveloped in a layer of gray.
Guo Qi’s movements slowed in Mo Lin’s eyes, and Mo Lin seized the opportunity to slash at Guo Qi’s neck.
Mo Lin was confident this strike could kill Guo Qi.
Just then, another person identical to Guo Qi swung a wooden stick towards Mo Lin.
Blocking Mo Lin’s attack.
Only then did Mo Lin realize that these individuals looked identical.
Mo Lin glanced around.
There were about fifty monks here.
Each monk looked the same, as if they were copied and pasted.
In the moment Mo Lin was distracted, another Guo Qi swung his wooden stick towards Mo Lin.
Mo Lin dodged to the left to avoid Guo Qi’s attack.
Mo Lin seized the opportunity and slashed with the Green Cloud Sword.
One Guo Qi’s head was directly severed by Mo Lin.
After this person died, his true face was revealed, a clay figure molded from mud.
These clay figures surprisingly possessed the same power as Guo Qi.
This fact astonished Mo Lin.
"This is my Buddhist technique, called Mirrored Tathagata." Guo Qi slowly told Mo Lin.
As he finished, Guo Qi waved his hand, and seven others simultaneously swung sticks at Mo Lin.
These seven weren’t just swinging randomly.
They were employing the Tiger Taming Cane Method, on par with Mo Lin’s Jingming Evil-slaying Swordsmanship.
Originally, Mo Lin managed to gain the upper hand with the Jingming Evil-slaying Swordsmanship.
But when these seven simultaneously used the Tiger Taming Cane Method, Mo Lin’s advantage vanished.
"Even if it takes forever, today I’ll grind you down until you die." Guo Qi coldly told Mo Lin.
Those words were accurate.
If Mo Lin didn’t have other means, he might really be worn down.
"Competing with me in numbers?"
Mo Lin’s lips curled into a sneer.
"Chen Xi!"
Mo Lin snorted coldly.
A burst of Ghost Qi erupted beneath Mo Lin’s feet.
Chen Xi’s massive figure appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Chen Xi swung his hand, his palm like a sharp claw, piercing through a Guo Qi’s chest.
The Guo Qi killed by Chen Xi instantly turned into a clay figure.
Standing beside Mo Lin, Chen Xi kept his gaze fixed on the people before him.
It was rather difficult for Mo Lin to kill Guo Qi.
At least he needed to find Guo Qi’s real self.
But with the Mirrored Tathagata technique, among these over fifty people, each was Guo Qi with no differences; it was impossible to find the real Guo Qi.
The only way to kill Guo Qi was to eliminate everyone here.
Mo Lin connected to Beihai, summoning the Ghosts.
Chu Xing and others, the myriad Ghosts appeared.
Tens of thousands of Ghosts floated in midair.
Seeing the number of Ghosts, Guo Qi remained unfazed.
"Besides Chen Xi, these other Ghosts aren’t worth fearing.
"You don’t actually think having more numbers guarantees victory, do you?"
Guo Qi’s words were apt.
Having large numbers provided an advantage but didn’t change anything.
Small fry remain small fry.
No matter how many small fry there are, it doesn’t change the fact.
Mo Lin didn’t argue, raising his right hand.
The Ghosts in the air transformed into clusters of Ghost Qi, which then seeped into Mo Lin’s body.
Mo Lin’s aura began to climb.
Feeling Mo Lin’s aura changing, the smile on Guo Qi’s face vanished.
"Is this the Ghost-Controlling Technique?"
"You truly are the strongest Ghost Cultivator of the East District, having such skills."
Guo Qi wasn’t sarcastic towards Mo Lin.
He genuinely acknowledged Mo Lin’s impressive skill.
In the East District, apart from Mo Lin, no one else could possibly have this Ghost-Controlling ability.
Turning countless Ghosts into one’s own strength.
There is no one but Mo Lin who could achieve this.
"I genuinely admire the First Generation Destined Person," Guo Qi sighed.
If Mo Lin hadn’t died once at the Great Spirit Mountain, losing his Destined Person status.
He would surely be the protagonist of the East District now.
