Wandering Gods of Day and Night

He had his first understanding of Nuo opera and simultaneously had doubts,

such as why, if Nuo opera is so powerful, he had never seen Zhou Lingyi perform it before,

and also what is the true source of power for the Nuo opera,

but when he turned back to look at Zhou Lingyi, he saw that his sister was still in a state of "Divine Travel," clearly indicating that this Nuo opera was still ongoing.

Zhou Xuan could only continue to immerse his heart and mind into this battle,

the Six Slaves had fallen, including the Evil Ghost Slave, and their war intent was ignited completely.

The Golden Body Slave pointed at Zhou Xuan and yelled thunderously: "Zhou Xuan, today’s battle could have been avoided. After you killed Boba and destroyed the Yanfu Ti Space, we just would’ve gone our separate ways, spared each other, wouldn’t it have been great?

Yet you were stubbornly inflexible, insisted on initiating this battle, and pushed relentlessly. Don’t blame us Buddha Slaves for being ruthless."

He stomped his foot, halting the spreading Sea of Buddha.

"You, Zhou Xuan, killed the Six Great Families. We originally intended to teach you a lesson by using this boundless Sea of Buddha Qi to burn Ping Shui Prefecture to ashes,

those quick-footed townspeople and your Hall Disciples wouldn’t have died in this sea,

but it turns out we were still too merciful."

The Golden Body Slave’s gaze was extremely sinister, he nearly deliberately enunciated each word, saying: "Today I want Ping Shui Prefecture wiped out, leaving no chicken or dog alive."

These words signaled that the Buddha Slave was truly furious.

Moreover, the Golden Body Slave realized Zhou Xuan was not someone who would be easily intimidated.

This incredibly young Zhou Family’s Great Nuo, once he makes a move, it’s a fight to the death.

For Golden Body Slave, only a death battle remains, without pouring all into the death battle, his fate would be no different from the Evil Ghost Slave.

If it’s a death battle,

then he must unleash his hidden trump cards.

The Golden Body Slave gestured broadly towards the other four slaves, shouting: "Brothers, the Ancient Buddha’s Mirror Image usually would never result in such wanton destruction,

this is the teaching of the Ancient Buddha and has been our guiding principle for two thousand years, but today, Zhou Xuan has pushed us too far. If we don’t reveal the Ancient Buddha’s Mirror Image, Zhou Xuan might really think our Buddhist Sect has no one."

This rousing speech made Zhou Xuan burst out in laughter.

Zhou Xuan spread out his folded fan and coldly laughed: "Buddha Slaves, if you want to fight, just fight. Don’t act like a scorned woman pouring all dirt on me alone."

"You Six Buddha Slaves, why enter Ping Shui Prefecture? Isn’t it just to burn, kill, and loot?

You want to steal my Dream of the Four Heavenly Venerables,

The Six Great Families want to rob money, rob wealth, rob women in Ping Shui Prefecture,

You acted as scoundrels, invaded my homeland, and I, Zhou Xuan, merely used some Divine Skills to cut you bandits down,

how then do I become the villain, and you Buddha Slaves are righteous?

I, Zhou Xuan, have never in my life seen such shameless individuals."

Golden Body Slave was left speechless by Zhou Xuan’s tirade.

Zhou Xuan added: "Also, you’ve acted like a scorned woman, taking today’s conflict as a sect rivalry, a dispute between Buddhist and Daoist,

The Buddhist Sect, I never looked down upon it, nor am I arrogant,

If it were a good monk, I, Zhou Xuan, would even worship with incense, but you and your kind of wicked monks, I’ll kill each one I meet."

These sharp words made the Green Robed Buddha prostrate in admiration.

The Green Robed Buddha asked Yun Ziliang: "Mr. Yun, did our master prepare a script in advance? How is his retort so fluent, his argumentation beating Golden Body Slave?"

"You call that not having the upper hand? He’s wiping the floor with them." Zhao Wuya said at the side.

Yun Ziliang stroked his white beard and remarked: "Old Buddha, you may not know, but our Xuanzi comes from a storyteller’s lineage; he’s adept at wagging his tongue."

The Green Robed Buddha listened enviously, shook his head, and sighed,

"I have so much to learn from our master, indeed. My tongue is clumsy; if it were me in this situation, I’d just know how to fight, unlike the master, whose sharp language strips away Golden Body Slave’s facade effortlessly."

"Golden Body Slave, I see you thieving monks act beastly ruthless when you can win,

yet when facing defeat, you act like a scorned woman, truly dumb and evil."

Zhou Xuan’s sleeves hung low as he said: "So, stop spouting nonsense. I, Zhou Xuan, am right here. Whatever abilities you have, show them."

"Fine, fine..."

Golden Body Slave was so choked he couldn’t speak, and finally revealed his true Dharma body.

He was no longer in the guise of an ordinary monk; his body became grand, standing ten zhang tall,

but his appearance was just as when Zhou Xuan first saw him at the Revolving Wheel Temple—he possessed no Magic Artifact, with rotten flesh covering his whole body, each inch of skin was full of pustules, oozing foul-smelling pus.

The remaining Four Slaves also revealed their Dharma bodies.

The Bead Holder Slave wielded prayer beads, with an imposing physique,

The Treasure Scripture Slave donned a green robe and held a scripture,

The Ancient Tree Slave held a branch, on which bloomed seven small golden flowers,

The Kasaya Slave wore the Five-Colored Rainbow Clothes, radiating golden light all over,

As the four manifested their Dharma Images, they simultaneously recited incantations,

with each recitation, their magic artifacts emanated a dazzling glow.

From the beads, Buddha light continuously poured forth,

the scripture, though no voice intoned it, resonated with the ancient Buddha’s chant,
