Chapter 1564 - 576: Ancient
The Golden Body Slave and the other Buddha Slaves have an extremely long lifespan, having once served Ancient Buddhas.
The years they have lived through are so long that, despite being mostly dormant in the last two thousand years, their knowledge remains transcendent.
The six Buddha Slaves did express concern when entering Ping Shui Prefecture, but it was merely about whether the Nuo God would awaken.
However, they never worried about the Zhou Family’s Troupe’s Nuo Opera.
"Although the Nuo Opera greatly enhances the power of the Zhou family descendants, it’s imposing but—merely this. At least, when the six Buddha Slaves unite, we have no fear of it.
Yet, why is today’s Nuo Opera so formidable? With only three of Erlang’s infantry empowering the sword’s intent, I can’t even hold the sword’s edge?"
The thoughts in the Golden Body Slave’s mind were complex.
At this moment, the Evil Ghost Slave was pierced through the skull by a flying sword, lying there rigidly, his life force rapidly fading.
Among the Buddha Slaves, each is above God-level, so physical penetration is not fatal.
The cracked Fierce Ghost Mask emitted a crisp sound and shattered into countless fragments.
The reason for the Magic Artifact breaking: firstly, it exhausted its lifespan fighting Zhou Xuan, akin to an elderly person nearing the end.
Secondly, due to accompanying the Evil Ghost Slave for many years, now that the Evil Ghost Slave was pierced by the Purple Sword, his life force was quickly dissipating, prompting the Magic Artifact to shatter actively in an attempt to save its master.
The mask fragments scattered onto the broken body of the Evil Ghost Slave like a spring rain,
and the fragments melted into a source of life, nourishing the increasingly dry Evil Ghost Slave.
His life force was continuously increasing.
The remaining five Slaves were chanting Buddha’s Spell, covered by a Buddhist Chant, all wishing for All Things Living.
But Zhou Xuan, having struck with his Flying Sword, naturally seized the opportunity to expand his victory.
Remotely controlling the sword filled with Purple Qi and clashes of Thunder, he again charged toward the Evil Ghost Slave with thunderous momentum.
The Flying Sword attacked once more,
The Golden Body Slave cursed silently, having already realized the formidable nature of the flying sword; he felt his Buddha Power became chaotic when resisting it earlier.
Yet, he must once again use Great Vajra Divine Power to intercept the Flying Sword; he couldn’t simply watch as this sword pinned the Evil Ghost Slave.
"Once more."
The Golden Body Slave focused the Dharma Image again, blocking the path of the Flying Sword, ready to grip it the moment it arrived.
However, this time Zhou Xuan changed tactics. As the Flying Sword neared within a yard’s distance of the Golden Body Slave, he clenched his fist abruptly and shouted, "Shatter."
The Purple Flying Sword, much like the Fierce Ghost Mask, immediately broke into countless specks of light.
The specks split into two streams, bypassing the Golden Body Slave, and rushed toward the Evil Ghost Slave like a storm.
The other four Slaves mobilized their divine skills to resist.
But now the Flying Sword was just a gust, a rain; though a Buddhist’s Vajra Divine Skills could block mountains and withstand cliffs, they couldn’t halt the flowing, fragmented wind and rain.
Those storm-like streams of Purple Qi violently struck the Evil Ghost Slave, flinging him dozens of yards away,
and the purple qi that adhered to his body kept drilling into him relentlessly.
In mere moments, the exposed skin of the Evil Ghost Slave turned into a deep eggplant purple, a truly terrifying hue.
Zhou Xuan watched the battle coldly, his intent simple: even if breaking the Flying Sword, he must slay the Evil Ghost Slave immediately.
There are many among the Six Slaves, each with fierce methods; if this round results in an immediate loss for them, it greatly tips the scales in Zhou Xuan’s favor.
"Purple Qi Nine Thousand Miles, Evil Ghost Slave, let’s see if that Buddha Slave Vajra Body of yours can withstand it."
Zhou Xuan said coldly,
"Zhou Xuan... Zhou Xuan... Fellow brothers... Evil Ghost likely can’t withstand this event; if I die, you must kill Zhou Xuan."
The Evil Ghost Slave stood, his entire body purple yet his spirit and energy fine,
But he knew his own condition.
At that moment, the nine thousand miles of purple qi rampaged crazily in his Secret Realm, crashing left and right,
His body like a dilapidated palace facing the rampage of a Fierce Beast,
how can it endure?
The Golden Body Slave shouted, "Younger brother, don’t say such demoralizing things..."
Before his words finished, the Evil Ghost Slave’s body displayed cracked patterns, each emitting purple light.
Boom!
As the purple light appeared, the Evil Ghost Slave’s body was ruptured by the violent purple qi,
becoming countless fragments enveloped by the purple qi, soaring to the sky, dyeing Ping Shui Prefecture’s sky dark purple.
The Evil Ghost Slave, fallen.
"Younger brother!"
The Golden Body Slave sorrowfully gazed at the Heavenly Dome,
while the remaining four Slaves silently recited chants for liberation.
Through just one round with Zhou Xuan, the Evil Ghost Slave was slain.
The Eternal Life Sect Leader saw Zhou Xuan’s success, shaking his drum, calling to Zhou Xuan: "Master Zhou’s divine skills are unparalleled; one of the Six Buddha Slaves has now fallen! The Zhou Family Nuo Opera’s grandeur surpasses its former days."
The Tiancan Monk also remarked silently, "No wonder the Heavenly Dome’s God-level wouldn’t dare invade Ping Shui Prefecture; with such a divine display, who could descend?"
Zhou Xuan with an air of tranquility, nodded slightly.
