Chapter 271: Chapter 132: Spending the Night at Yangxin Palace! The Empress Wants a Hug! (6K)

Tiandu City, Chunfeng Pavilion.

Night had fallen, and the candlelight in the inn room flickered like beans.

Hui Neng Monk sat cross-legged, with faint golden light diffusing around his body, and a faint imprint of a fist marked upon his chest.

As a martial monk of deacon level from Wuwan Temple, the "Stepping Firmly Immovable Golden Body" he practiced made his skin as hard as iron, greatly enhancing his defensive abilities. As long as both feet were on the ground, he could draw strength constantly.

However, because his skin was too hard, any damage made the healing process much slower than that of a regular person, and typical healing medicine had no effect.

To solve this drawback, one must practice the "Fierce Venerable Vajra Body," which integrates muscles, tendons, bones, and organs, achieving true invulnerability.

"To practice the Vajra Body, it’s necessary to advance to the Dharma Protector level."

"According to the Dharma Rank standard, this monk needs to save thirty more people, which this Martial Arts Examination was a great opportunity to achieve all at once, but heaven did not allow it..."

Hui Neng’s expression darkened, and anger flashed in his eyes.

If not for that mysterious assailant who injured him, how could he be stuck here, missing the opportunity to save lives!

"Well, it’s just a matter of sooner or later."

"The main thing is still crucial; with Senior Brother Shi Yun around, surely there won’t be any mishaps. It’s getting late, the Martial Arts Examination should be ending soon..."

At this moment, layers of ripples appeared in the void.

Shi Yun Monk’s figure suddenly appeared.

"Senior Brother, you’re back..."

Hui Neng was about to rise to greet him when his expression suddenly froze.

He saw Shi Yun’s face was ashen, his white monk robe stained dark red with blood, and one side of his body covered in dense cracks, like the remnants of a temple struck by lightning.

Blood oozed from the cracks, dripping from the hem of his robe onto the floor.

Hui Neng’s eyes widened in shock, staring at that candle-in-the-wind figure, exclaimed: "Senior Brother, what happened?!"

With Shi Yun’s Buddhist mastery, beneath the third rank, no one should be able to injure him like this!

Could it be a plot by the court against Buddha’s son?

"Amitabha, this monk lost."

Though Shi Yun looked battered, his eyes remained calm. He shook his head and said, "This monk was forced to act and used three Buddha Bones. Although some strength remains, there is no longer a need to continue fighting."

Lost means lost.

From the moment he was forced to transform into a Golden Arhat, the outcome was already determined.

Hui Neng looked at the prayer beads missing a few beads in Shi Yun’s hand, his throat feeling dry, "Who could possibly push Senior Brother into such a situation?"

Shi Yun said, "It was the same person who injured you."

Hui Neng’s expression instantly changed.

Shi Yun sighed and said, "This monk was mistaken; did not expect the evil to be right before my eyes. With the intent to suppress it with Buddha Power, but alas, it was too fierce..."

"It seems the cultivation is inadequate, must return to Zen Hall, deeply understand Buddhism, and once wisdom is complete, to transform it."

"This setback is also a step forward, Amitabha."

"Amitabha."

Hui Neng chanted a Buddha’s name in response, asking, "Regarding the matter of the Array, what does Senior Brother plan to do?"

Shi Yun pondered for a moment and said, "In this monk’s current state, I fear temporarily..."

Suddenly, he paused his words and turned to look out the window.

The night was thick, stars hidden, clouds opaque.

Absolute silence surrounded, streetlights extinguished, as though the entire city had fallen into slumber.

Hui Neng asked in confusion, "Senior Brother, what is it?"

Shi Yun did not respond, his expression growing more serious.

Whoosh—

The night wind brushed past.

The dense night pressed in like tangible darkness, viscous shadows squeezed in through the window lattices, the temperature turning icy cold, the room plunged into pitch blackness. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Crack—

A soft sound arose, and a glow of Buddha Light ignited around Shi Yun.

By the radiant halo, shadows roiled like a dark swamp, a burly figure clad in black armor slowly rising from the mire.

The dark armor glistened with cold mute gloss, ancient patterns engraved on the plates, hands gripping an enormous broad sword.

The helmet covered his face, only two scarlet glints visible, staring fixedly at the two.

Shi Yun spoke solemnly, "The court doing this seems not to conform to etiquette?"

The figure in black armor remained silent, raising hands to swing the sword.

Swish—

The swordlight flashed.

Shi Yun, as if struck by lightning, fell to his knees with a thud, blood gushing from his seven orifices!

Though outwardly uninjured, his Divine Soul was brutally torn, that sword from afar nearly obliterated him!

The figure in black armor’s eyes gleamed slightly.

Seeming somewhat surprised, Shi Yun could take a sword blow and survive.

He raised the enormous sword again, about to slay down, Shi Yun, enduring immense pain, crushed three Buddha Beads in succession!

A circular light form emerged behind him, murmured Sanskrit echoing in the air, shadows retreating slightly due to the Buddha Light.

Then, waves of ripples appeared in the void.

"Go!"

Shi Yun grabbed the nearby Hui Neng Monk, and the two vanished into thin air!

The figure in black armor showed no reaction.

With Shi Yun’s Divine Soul damaged, he couldn’t escape far.

If it weren’t for His Highness requesting a complete body of Shi Yun to deal with Wuwan Temple, that sword would have turned him into ashes.

Just then, the figure in black armor suddenly sensed something, the scarlet gaze flickered erratically, hesitating for a moment, then gradually submerged into the shadows.

...

Three hundred miles outside Tiandu City.

Within the dense forest, the air resonated with a wave.

Two figures fell from the sky, crashing heavily onto the ground.

Shi Yun’s face was as pale as gold paper, breathing heavily, blood blurred his vision, with eyes full of bewilderment and confusion.

"Why?"

"This monk’s Golden Body shattered, publicly defeated, the court’s power displaying effect already fulfilled, why still pursue endlessly?"
