The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror-Chapter 830 - 384: Buddha Reincarnated

Master Kuma silently observed the one-armed man, her mind already clear as she cupped her hands in greeting, "Kuma, a junior from the Huashan Sect, pays respect to the God of Heroes."

The one-armed man chuckled, "Master Kuma, I am only a few years older than you; you are too polite."

Master Kuma thought to herself, the rumored God of Heroes was said to have a lofty and proud heart, unmatched in handsomeness like the mythical Erlang God. He had once slain the Great Khan of Mongolia amidst an army of thousands; never did she expect him to be such a gentle and courteous person in reality.

As she pondered swiftly in her mind, she glanced at the stunning madam beside the one-armed man and said, "Great Hero Yang, this must be the Sect Leader of the Ancient Tomb Sect, a true beauty like a Heavenly Immortal as the rumors say."

As she spoke, she harbored some doubts because the rumors said the lady of the Dragon Clan favored white clothing, plain and simple, yet this madam's dress was obviously much more lavish, and judging from her breath and footsteps, her martial arts seemed quite ordinary.

Master Kuma was an old hand in the worldly society, confident she was not mistaken.

The one-armed man smiled faintly, "Master Kuma is mistaken, this is my sister Fu, the eldest daughter of the deceased Lord Guo of Mongol Yuan."

"Ah." Master Kuma was astounded beyond words.

Rumor had it the God of Heroes and the Dragon Clan had retreated from the worldly society together, disappearing without a trace.

Little did she expect the person beside him was not the Dragon Clan lady whom the God of Heroes had waited for sixteen bitter years, but rather the older sister of the young Eastern Devil Guo Xiang who had pursued the God of Heroes tirelessly in the worldly society.

Guo Xiang had now become a nun and established the Emei Sect, which was well-known throughout the worldly society.

Moreover, Guo Xiang was a disciple of the Tibetan Secret Vajra Sect's previous State Preceptor, the Golden Wheel Dharma King, equal in generation to the current State Preceptor of Mongolia, Phagspa. Now Tibetan Buddhism is Mongolia's state religion; Guo Xiang's status speaks for itself.

It should be noted that Wutai Mountain, Putuo Mountain, Emei Mountain, and Jiuhua Mountain are the realms of the Bodhisattva Manjushri, The Bodhisattva Guanyin, the Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva respectively.

Since Buddhism was introduced to Central Earth, it has been flourishing.

Emei Mountain is acclaimed as 'the beauty of the world' and stands alongside Qingcheng Mountain, both a Daoist and Buddhist sacred land in Sichuan.

Without such a background, Guo Xiang could not have established a sect at Emei Mountain, one of Central Earth's Four Famous Buddhist Mountains, the domain of the Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.

Furthermore, Guo Fu was a married woman.

Thus, it was unfathomable that the one-armed man married Guo Fu.

But this again is very "Western Madman".

Madam was first surprised to hear the one-armed man personally reveal her background but then showed happiness between her brows. The two had secluded themselves at Huashan, in fact, to avoid the slanders from the outside world.

Now, the one-armed man's actions seemed to have returned him to the days of youthful arrogance...

He was also a man of great resolve and dared to take responsibility.

The one-armed man had anticipated Master Kuma's surprise, "Yang's actions in life have no need for others' explanations. As for Hua Zhenzhen's matter, since she lost to you, she ought to give up the position of Sect Leader of Huashan, but you also sought outside help to comprehend the Qi Breaking Technique of the Dugu Nine Swords, didn't you?"

Master Kuma: "Indeed."

The one-armed man smiled, "The Dugu Nine Swords was created by the Sword Demon, Dugu Qiubai. My lifetime learning has benefited greatly from Senior Dugu. If the Master can withstand one sword from me, the affairs of the Huashan Sect will be settled. If not, please give Hua Zhenzhen another year, after which she will contest your Dugu Nine Swords with the Purple Qi Origin Sect. If she still cannot succeed, Hua Zhenzhen will thereafter be at your command."

Master Kuma pondered for a moment, "Fine, as Yang the Great Hero has said."

In truth, according to the rules of worldly society, matters within the Huashan Sect's gates should not involve outsiders.

Firstly, Hua Zhenzhen's identity is special; secondly, the one-armed man indeed possesses the strength to flatten the Huashan Sect. Weighing the pros and cons, Master Kuma can only first agree to the demands of the other party.

Though nicknamed "Iron Fairy," she was not stubborn to the end; she wouldn't lack the sense of assessing a situation when necessary.

"Then let us go to the peak of Huashan."

"As you please."

...

...

As dusk settled, the fierce winds at Huashan Peak swept dust and sand over the cliffs.

Master Kuma clasped her hands within, her mystic Daoist robe howling in the wind; she gazed at the three-foot wooden sword in Yang Guo's hand, suddenly feeling that this seemingly ordinary branch was more menacing than any Divine Weapon.

Yang Guo stood facing the wind, with Guo Fu leaning lightly against an ancient pine behind him, her golden silk bracelet swaying with her garments, emitting a faint sound.

His sleeve hung like ink, half of his face hidden in shadow, only his eyes gleamed like cold stars, reminding Master Kuma of the stories of plucking the Great Khan's head amid thousands of troops.

"I apologize."

As the wooden sword was unleashed, the mountain suddenly quieted.

Master Kuma's pupils constricted abruptly—she hadn't even seen when Yang Guo made his move; only a phantom flashed like a stream of light piercing the dusk, the sword had yet to arrive, yet the fierce wind was already ten feet high.

This wind was not like the usual sharp sword qi but rather resembled the tremor before the mountain collapsed, pressuring her breathing to stagnate as if the whole Huashan was pressing down on her.

She shouted fiercely, the Qi Breaking Technique of the Dugu Nine Swords instantly activated, true qi in her palms surged like a vortex. Yet, before the wooden sword reached her, the sword intent had already arrived first; countless invisible sword qi poured down like a rainstorm, enveloping all her vulnerabilities. Master Kuma had never seen such domineering sword intent, this was fundamentally not breaking a move but using supreme momentum to crush all defenses directly.

The wooden sword stopped three inches from her throat.

The fierce winds dissipated, snow particles suspended in mid-air.

Master Kuma stared at the tiny crack on the wooden sword, suddenly recalling that the Qi Breaking Technique she painstakingly cultivated seemed like a child's play at that moment. Yang Guo's motion of retracting the sword was extremely casual, yet it made her understand, if the opponent truly wanted to take her life, her throat would already have ceased to breathe.
