Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

He was right there in the Prince’s Mansion.

If Hui Cheng and the Old Daoist Nun were to really come and assassinate the mansion’s inhabitants, he was prepared to mount a defense and counter-attack.

For instance, he could block their assassination attempts using Magical Power.

At the same time, he could immediately mobilize the army to surround and kill them.

Then, he would act himself to annihilate them!

In fact, Xu Lei could mobilize the troops to besiege them right now.

He could wait until their Magical Power was significantly depleted before making his move.

But Xu Lei still didn’t do so.

For one, in such a siege, many mortal soldiers would die tragic, innocent deaths.

Every life had a family behind it.

For another, these troops belonged to the Mu Prince’s Mansion.

If he did that, the Mu Prince’s Mansion would truly be locked in a fight to the death with them.

If they managed to escape by some fluke and he failed to completely eliminate them...

...then the core members of the Mu Prince’s Mansion—women like Mu Yao and Su Yilin, and even Xu Lei’s own children—would never know a day of peace.

So, Xu Lei held his forces back.

However, at this point, some suitable Child Maidens from the vicinity of the Mu Prince’s Mansion had inevitably been brought over.

Only four or five had been delivered. Hui Cheng and his accomplice had not yet begun the ritual or started the sacrifice.

They probably wanted to gather more before doing it all in one go.

’Just four or five is nowhere near enough!’

They had sacrificed over a dozen before and still couldn’t take down the Elder Dragon.

Seeing this, Xu Lei couldn’t help but feel anxious for these Child Maidens.

Although they had no blood relation to him,

they were, after all, innocent people.

Xu Lei couldn’t bear to see them die so horribly.

Yet, he could only watch.

Fortunately!

Before more Child Maidens could be gathered...

Hui Ming came through!

That night, the expert from the Buddhist Sect invited by Hui Ming had arrived!

It was an old Monk with a large head, big ears, and a face full of compassion.

He rode a Lotus Magical Artifact underfoot, charging directly into the river!

"It’s the Buddha’s Head!"

Xu Lei watched from afar with a Telescope. When he saw the figure, he couldn’t help but gasp. "Brother Hui Ming actually managed to bring the Buddha’s Head here!!!"

The Buddha’s Head was the leader of the current generation of Buddhist Disciples, also known by some as the Head Monk.

Xu Lei had only ever seen him once or twice from a great distance.

He never expected that Hui Ming would actually manage to summon such an important figure this time.

’This is a sure win!’

Xu Lei rejoiced internally. ’With the Buddha’s Head making a move, this Black Flood Dragon has no escape!

Hui Cheng and that Old Daoist Nun won’t be able to stop the Buddha’s Head either!

Resisting stubbornly will just be a death sentence!

Besides, although I don’t know where Hui Cheng went earlier...

...that Old Daoist Nun just happened to enter the river not long ago!

She should be in that underwater grotto right now!

I wonder what her expression will be when she sees the Buddha’s Head arriving to cut her off!’

Xu Lei watched quietly to see what would happen.

RUMBLE!

And things began to change very quickly.

The river water churned violently, waves surging one after another!

ROAR!

The roar of the Black Flood Dragon could be heard.

But because it came from beneath the water, the sound was muffled rather than clear.

BANG!

Then, the Black Flood Dragon’s head burst out of the river!

It appeared in a flash!

But it was quickly dragged back down into the river by an immense Power, its entire body submerged once more!

Then the river began to churn madly again!

Xu Lei pressed his ear to the ground to listen.

He heard the sounds of powerful collisions coming one after another from the riverbed.

But before long, it all fell silent.

Xu Lei guessed that the Black Flood Dragon had already been subdued by the Buddha’s Head.

’As expected of the Buddha’s Head!’

Xu Lei couldn’t help but marvel. ’He’s truly powerful!

He subdued that Black Flood Dragon so quickly!’

Hui Ming was nowhere to be seen.

He had really taken the warning in Xu Lei’s letter to heart.

He was afraid that if he showed himself, Hui Cheng would make the connection to Hui Chi and direct his hatred toward him.

So it seemed he hadn’t even come at all.

After all, with the Buddha’s Head here, Hui Ming’s presence wasn’t really necessary.

BANG!

Just then, as expected, the Buddha’s Head flew back out of the water.

WHOOSH!

He sat cross-legged on the yellow Lotus Magical Artifact, flew into the sky, and vanished into the night.

’But what about the Old Daoist Nun?’

Xu Lei watched the Buddha’s Head’s receding figure, then continued scanning the area with his Telescope. ’Is she dead?’

Xu Lei had assumed the Buddha’s Head would take care of the Old Daoist Nun while he was at it.

But apparently not!

The figure of the Old Daoist Nun actually emerged from the riverbank further downstream.

Of course, she was also watching the Buddha’s Head’s departing figure in the sky with a look of extreme unwillingness, helplessness, and resentment.

She had been in the grotto studying the Restriction.

She never expected the Buddha’s Head to strike so directly.

He’d completely destroyed the grotto’s Restriction.

She, who had been inside, was also severely injured.

As a result, she couldn’t stop herself from spitting up blood.

"Thank goodness!"

But then, the Old Daoist Nun produced several Dragon Crystals in her hand. "In the chaos, I managed to snatch these!"

At the time, the Buddha’s Head had been focused on suppressing the Flood Dragon and had paid her no mind.

So she had hastily fled.

Although she was a member of the Daoist Sect, she naturally knew that her opponent was the Buddhist Sect’s Buddha’s Head.

How could she dare try to snatch the Demon Core from the Buddha’s Head?

At this moment, she didn’t know if she had escaped by a stroke of luck...

...or if the Buddha’s Head simply couldn’t be bothered to deal with her.

"I still made a profit!"

The Old Daoist Nun muttered to herself, "Refining these should be enough to replenish the Magical Power I spent rushing around for this whole affair!

All in all, it wasn’t a complete waste of effort!

It’s all the fault of whoever it was that also discovered that underwater grotto!

And they were so ruthless, reporting it directly to the higher-ups!

They even brought the Buddha’s Head here directly!

Damn it!"

She was furious.

But she didn’t dare make a move against the Buddha’s Head.

Of course, at this moment, she wasn’t worried that the person in the shadows would attack her either.

’Perhaps the other party is also an important figure close to the Buddha’s Head,’ she thought. ’Would such a person really need to hunt me down and kill me?’

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Of course, right at that moment, Xu Lei attacked.

The Lotus Treasure Fragments sliced wildly through the air, flying toward the Old Daoist Nun!

HUMMM!

The black alms bowl was raised, emitting a glow as it pressed down on her.

’Die!’

At the same time, Xu Lei activated the black Evil-Subduing Bracelet.

Driven by his Magical Power, it became heavier than a mountain.

WHOOSH!

Xu Lei threw it directly at her.

The Old Daoist Nun was horrified, but her Flying Sword flew up and still managed to block the Lotus Treasure Fragments.

It also resisted the suppression of the black alms bowl.

BANG!

But she was struck by the Evil-Subduing Bracelet, and her body was blasted backward.

PFFT!

Blood spurted from her mouth.

’Die!’

Xu Lei roared in his heart.

He didn’t retract the Evil-Subduing Bracelet.

Instead, he held the black alms bowl in one hand, continuing to drive it and shine its light upon her.

With his other hand, he formed a Dharma Seal, driving the Lotus Treasure Fragments to continue their frenzied clash with the Old Daoist Nun’s Flying Sword!

But unexpectedly, the Old Daoist Nun was still able to hold on!
