Chapter 1444: Source of Misfortune

“Urgh…”

After who knew how long, Li Qingshan’s finger twitched. Every inch of his body felt like it had been torn to shreds before being forcefully assembled again, only to be thrown into lava. Even the slightest movement came with agony.

However, compared to the damage to his soul sense, that was nothing at all.

A great buddha stood in his sea of consciousness, standing on top of the Yin Demon that had almost been destroyed.

He had never liked Maheśvara as much as right now, as the image left behind by him normally did not affect him at all.

However, the great buddha required him to prostrate constantly, asking him for mercy.

He did not dare to loosen his willpower even by the slightest, or he would be “converted”. That would lead to terrifying, irreversible consequences. Even Nirvāṇa Rebirth would be useless.

With a stagger, he climbed up from the ground and glanced at the Upraised Light abbot, only to see him with his eyes firmly shut and his face filled with pain. A small hole had been burned into his forehead, rising up with a wisp of black smoke.

Even if Maheśvara stood no chance against the buddha, that did not mean some random monk could destroy an image of him.

Fuck his ancestors. This bald ass had nothing good in mind for me. Sure enough, if they aren’t bald, they aren’t vicious, and if they aren’t vicious, they aren’t bald. No, I gotta get out of here!

Li Qingshan endured the maddening pain and staggered out of the grand hall.

“Abbot! Abbot!”

A series of cries rang out in the grand hall. The monks all huddled over.

A warrior monk with a shoulder exposed and a booming voice who stood like a tower blocked Li Qingshan’s path. “You cannot leave!”

He had undergone the fourth heavenly tribulation and attained the fruit of Srotāpanna. He was a protector monk of the Pure Land temple. The other protector monks responded as well, surrounding Li Qingshan in the grand hall with staves, poles, and tonsure blades.

Normally, Li Qingshan only needed a single hand to kill them, but right now, even a young acolyte could knock him over with a gentle punch.

He had once been called a tiger having left his place of safety, now harassed by a dog. Now, it had actually come true.

Li Qingshan was extremely furious, glaring with his eyes. “Who dares to stop me?”

His voice was deep and hoarse, while his eyes were scarlet-red like blood.

The monks trembled and backed away. The cowardly ones even fell back on their bottoms, scrambling out of his way.

In particular, the protector monk at the front blanked out. In a daze, he felt like he was not in the grand hall, but within a gloomy, mountainous forest, facing an injured, frenzied tiger alone as a mortal.

Fear immediately gripped him. By the time he returned to his senses, he had already moved out of the way, and no one else dared to stop him. He watched Li Qingshan stagger out of the place, his back hunched over and his feet heavy. It was as if every single step took all of his strength. However, no one dared to do anything to him.

The great buddha remained seated on the lotus like before as if it was hiding something, watching Li Qingshan leave with a gentle smile.

Li Qingshan finally left the Pure Land temple. The great flakes of snow drifted right past his face, dyed red by the blood in his eyes. The world was chaotic and hazy. His mind loosened up, and with a thump, he collapsed heavily on the ground, throwing snow into the air.

“Xiao An…”

In the grey stone tower, Xiao An currently sat with her legs crossed, cultivating with her eyes closed. Suddenly, she felt uneasy, and she opened her eyes. “Qingshan is in danger!”

She made her way down the tower in a hurry and opened the door. Li Qingshan lay on the ground outside, covered in mud. He had left behind a long trail in the snow.

“Qingshan!” She cried out and pulled him into her arms, carrying him to the top of the tower.

Li Qingshan spat out three words with an extremely feeble yet determined voice, “Slay the buddha!”

Xiao An shivered inside. She had noticed the image of the golden buddha on his back a long time ago. She drew the Buddha Slaying sword and hesitated slightly before reversing her grip and suddenly stabbing down.

The image of the buddha shone with golden light, but it shattered under the shiny white edge of the sword. The sword penetrated the buddha’s chest, but it also plunged deeply into Li Qingshan’s back.

There was a rumble in Li Qingshan’s sea of consciousness. The great buddha collapsed, and then his sea of consciousness shattered.

The moment the buddha on his back vanished, blood poured out of his body, and his bones were pulverised. His organs were crushed to pulp.

Xiao An threw aside the Buddha Slaying sword in a hurry, wanting to pick Li Qingshan up, but he just collapsed between her arms. His aura had completely vanished. She stiffened and was left dumbfounded. Her heart directly sank.

Only after who knew how long did a feeble phoenix cry ring out. The blood, flesh, and bones all turned to flames, but it was still extremely feeble. It assembled together after great difficulty, assuming the form of a human.

Nirvāṇa Rebirth!

In the endless darkness, Li Qingshan felt that his cheeks were rather moist. He opened his eyes, only to see Xiao An weeping as she gazed at him. Her tears ran down and dripped on him.

Li Qingshan was taken aback. Xiao An threw herself over and embraced him firmly. He smiled quietly and rubbed her head. “Don’t worry. I’m fine.” For some reason, he felt his nose burn slightly. It really had been a close call this time. He had never thought that the person who would almost claim his life would not be Li Liehuo or Chao Tianjiao, but a monk that he had no grievances with.

However, the bald ass probably did not have it easy either. It had been equivalent to two prominent figures of buddhism clashing through their bodies, and they had both been punished for destroying their respective images. Fortunately, he still had the Nirvāṇa Rebirth. The bald ass probably was not so fortunate.

“Heh, I sure have been miserable this time!”

Even when he thought about it now, it still gave him shivers. However, at least he had finally erased those random images of gods and buddhas from his back, so he also felt extremely elated inside. At this moment, exhaustion surged forth like the tide. He yawned and murmured, “I’m going to sleep.”

Xiao An picked him up horizontally and placed him down on the soft bed, still embracing him.

Oh you… Li Qingshan murmured inside and sank into a slumber.

The incident in the Pure Land temple spread through the entire city very soon. In particular, the news that a hole had been created in the Upraised Light abbot’s head and the fact that he was still unconscious shook up the entire city.

In the Scorching Fire hall, Li Liehuo listened seriously to a monk as he described everything that happened in the Pure Land temple.

Search h0sted n0vel for the original.

The monk complained tearfully, “The abbot suspected Li Qingshan to be a spy from the Demon domain, which was why he suffered from something like this. You have to stand up for us, senior brother. Please capture Li Qingshan immediately!”

Li Liehuo said nothing as he thought, A spy from the Demon domain? Are there really spies this cocky in the world? And even if he is one, he definitely would not be the Upraised Light abbot’s opponent in the Pure Land temple. How is Li Qingshan capable of something like this, even after receiving a palm strike from the Upraised Light abbot defencelessly? There must be something else involved.

Regardless, Li Qingshan was still a disciple of the Myriad sect at the end of the day. It was not up to outsiders to interfere with this.

“I understand. You can return to the temple first. I’ll get to the bottom of this as soon as possible.”

Hu Zhigang cursed. “This kid sure is a source of misfortune!”

Li Liehuo furrowed his brows. “Don’t utter nonsense!”

“First senior brother, how is that nonsense? There’s definitely something wrong with this kid!” Everyone agreed with that.

At the same time, in the Xuanwu hall, Chao Tianjiao listened to the description from another monk. A similar thought flashed through her head.

It’s only been a few days since this kid has come to Black Cloud city. First, he pays a visit to the Demon domain, and all the demonfolk stationed at Cold Blood pass are dead. Then he returns to the Scorching Fire hall to report about this and basically embarrasses all of the officers of the Scorching Fire army, making a fool out of their captain. Afterwards, he pays a visit to the Pure Land temple, and the Upraised Monk abbot collapses immediately. It’s almost as if something supernatural is at work! Now he’s joined the Xuanwu army…

Surely I’m not next!

Chao Tianjiao, who never feared anything, shivered as well. She suddenly became slightly regretful.
