Master of Monster Synthesis-Chapter 723 - 373: Emperor Armor VS Great Mighty Dragon

"Great Mighty Dragon, Shizun Dizang, Bodhi Buddhas, Bodhi Bama Kong."

The dashing monk emanated an aura of authority without anger, his voice resonant and firm as he shouted the incantation, casually swinging his kasaya to reveal a dragon-shaped tattoo on his shoulder.

"Roar..."

A sudden dragon's roar echoed across the heavens and earth. A golden dragon illusion soared into the sky from the peak of Gold Mountain Monastery. Golden Buddhist light rained down upon the heavens, transforming into a sacred seal that enclosed the meteor in the skies.

In a daze, the King Snake awoke from unconsciousness under the illumination of the Buddhist light. The golden brilliance was so dazzling that he couldn't even open his eyes.

"What's happening..."

In the next moment, a massive Divine Dragon Illusion swept down, devouring him whole.

"Roar..."

The Divine Dragon Illusion spiraled through the sky, lunging down and tossing the King Snake hard onto the ground, then transformed into golden light and returned to the monk's shoulder.

"Audacious snake demon! You dare disregard my Buddha Tathagata? Today, I…"

Before the monk could finish his rebuke, the King Snake's expression shifted as he saw the Divine Dragon Illusion retreating. He instantly knew who the monk before him was.

Immediately, he knelt down and kowtowed, crying out in terror: "Master Fa Hai, spare me! I'm not a demon!"

Fa Hai snorted coldly, "Stop trying to deceive me! Although the demon energy within you is extremely faint, it's impossible to fool my eyes."

With those words, he adjusted his hand seals, chanting under his breath.

"Bodhi Bama Hong..."

Buddhist light appeared, and as Fa Hai raised the Golden Bowl with his right hand, the three contracted beasts within the King Snake's Knight Belt—a venomous King Snake, an evil Stygian Ray, and a Steel Rhinoceros—let out mournful cries as they were pulled out and trapped within the magical treasure of the Golden Bowl.

"What..."

The King Snake's face turned ashen. How could Fa Hai, merely a Level 6 Expert, so easily suppress the Knight Belt?

"Hmph, harboring three bizarre mirror demons yet denying you're a demonic scourge?"

With a sweep of his kasaya sleeve, Fa Hai commanded, "Men, take this demon into Leifeng Tower for imprisonment!"

"Yes!"

A group of staff-wielding monks bowed respectfully, then pressed the defeated King Snake and escorted him away.

"Wait, I have something to say..." The King Snake abruptly began to struggle.

Fa Hai glared, his brow furrowed with anger, "Demonic scourge! What trickery are you trying to pull now?"

The King Snake gritted his teeth, "Master Fa Hai, to fall in your hands is my fate. But I have several companions hiding in a mansion near West Lake. If you have the guts, go find them. They'll surely avenge me!"

Fa Hai's eyes glinted with disdain, his tone derisive.

"Avenge you? Hmph, then I shall rid the world of all of you demons in one fell swoop!"

The King Snake's gaze burned with hatred. Fa Hai was far stronger than he had anticipated. Li Mu, if I can't have it, you won't get it either!

...

The night deepened.

Bai Mansion.

After several rounds of wine, Bai Suzhen noticed "Xu Xian" drunk and slumped over the table. She exchanged glances with Xiaoqing.

"Xiaoqing, take Han Wen to the room to rest."

A peculiar glint flashed in Xiaoqing's eyes. "Sure, sister, I'll take the honest fellow to rest."

With that, she quickly helped "Xu Xian" up and walked away briskly.

Heh heh, this honest-looking guy seems interesting. Should I test him for my sister first...

As Xiaoqing left, Bai Suzhen's smile slowly faded. Her gaze swept over Li Mu and the others, her tone carrying a warning.

"Everyone, I may not know what you intend to gain from Xu Xian, but let me make one thing clear: If you dare harm him, you can forget about keeping those magic treasures of yours."

As she spoke, Bai Suzhen waved her hand, her mana sweeping through the pavilion as invisible power pulled the belts from around their waists into the air.

Bai Suzhen kept her guard up against Li Mu and his crew, yet remained unsuspecting of Qin Shou disguised as Xu Xian.

She accepted Qin Shou, and thus the Knight Squad naturally fell into Bai Suzhen's camp.

"This..."

Li Mu and the others' expressions turned grim. As expected from a Level 6 Expert with the Power of Primordial Spirit; dealing with half-baked reincarnators like them was child's play.

Without the belts, their true strength was no more than that of Level 4 Reincarnators—utterly powerless to resist.

"Miss Bai, please rest assured. We are friends with Brother Xu. Why would we harm a hair on his head? Our connection with Brother Xu is due entirely to the matter of the King Snake."

"Indeed, we are mortal enemies of the King Snake. His schemes are what we strive to thwart by any means necessary."

Li Mu and the others quickly explained.

Bai Suzhen seemed half-convinced, a cold flicker flashing between her brows. "For now, I'll believe you. But if you dare spread lies or harm Xu Xian, don't blame me for being merciless."

"Buzz..."

Her mana receded, and the five belts fell back into the hands of the group.

Li Mu and the others breathed a sigh of relief, hastily assuring her they wouldn't dare.

This place is dangerous enough with Mr. Qin here; we'd better leave quickly.

Ah, female monsters—so volatile.

The group exchanged knowing glances and promptly requested to leave.

But Bai Suzhen suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "Not good."

...

Under the dim light of green silk curtains, the night breeze softly swayed. A graceful figure swirled in motion, dancing through the room, filling it with an unusual allure.

Feigning drunkenness, Qin Shou lay on the floor, sensing Xiaoqing's wandering hands on him, filled with despair.

"This snake is so lustful! Is this the price for my mission and ambition?"

"No, please don't! Wild green snakes carry so many parasites..."

"Damn it, this snake... it's starting to act up! My cover's going to be blown."

Qin Shou silently cursed his bad luck.

Fortunately, at the next moment, Bai Suzhen stormed into the room and chastised, "Xiaoqing, stop!"

Her mana infused with spiritual power surged forth, a white silk shot from her sleeve, wrapping around Xiaoqing's body and pulling her to Bai Suzhen's side.

Qin Shou felt a pang of disappointment. Couldn't she have come a bit later?

Such a buzzkill!

Meanwhile, Bai Suzhen's gaze hardened, "Xiaoqing, what were you trying to do just now?"

Xiaoqing lowered her head, nervously fiddling with her fingers. "Sister, I just wanted to test the honest fellow for you!"

"No need for you to test him. Go back." Bai Suzhen's tone was firm.

"Sister, you... Hmph, fine, I'll leave!"

With a huff, Xiaoqing leapt into the Lotus Pond, transforming into a Green Snake and sinking to the bottom.
