This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 915 - 698: Manifestation of the Evil Buddha, Hell Path! (Part 2)

A fierce wind surged, the forceful wind like knives cutting wounds on Liang Yi's cheeks, but before the blood even flowed, a green light full of vitality flashed, and the wounds on Liang Yi's face healed as if they were never there.

"Caught up so quickly?"

Feeling the presence of being locked onto, Liang Yi was a bit surprised; it was earlier than he expected.

But when Liang Yi saw the black scriptures writhing like a group of snakes on Zuo Yongning, he started to understand.

Goodness, he got infuriated...

Although Liang Yi wasn't exactly sure why Zuo Yongning was so angry, connecting the dots from what He Zhiqing had just told him - that this Zuo Yongning might be a Buddha head from the First Epoch - there seemed to be some sort of conspiracy involved.

This conspiracy was probably related to why Zuo Yongning never showed his true face to the world, but by sheer bad luck, it seemed he inadvertently disrupted Zuo Yongning's plans.

"How did a Buddha head end up as an Abyss Envoy?"

Liang Yi spoke, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, trying to use this banter to buy time.

"Die!"

He didn't expect Zuo Yongning to be like a powder keg, exploding in rage upon hearing the words "Buddha head", his eyes' green ghostly fire instantly turning crimson.

Zuo Yongning opened his bloodless mouth, and black-golden light erupted from his body, condensing into a "卍" character behind him, promptly launching himself at Liang Yi with ferocious eyes, swinging a fist.

At that moment, Liang Yi confirmed that Zuo Yongning was indeed the Buddha head; such rich Buddhist aura, though it had turned evil, couldn't be cultivated by an ordinary Buddhist practitioner.

The presence had marked him; turning his back to Zuo Yongning and fleeing would mean leaving himself defenseless. With no other choice, Liang Yi swung his sword to defend, activating his Disruption Domain!

Stars, full moon, Big Sun!

Light scattered as Zuo Yongning stepped into Liang Yi's domain.

In an instant, the "卍" character behind Zuo Yongning dimmed significantly, but the densely written scriptures and black-golden glow on his bones highlighted the domain's power, shielding Zuo Yongning from the Disruption Domain's suppression.

Seizing the moment of Zuo Yongning's weakness, Liang Yi twisted his wrist, delivering a startling swift slash.

The white Sword Intent transformed into a ribbon, skillfully avoiding Zuo Yongning's fist, this time aiming for the two flames in Zuo Yongning's eyes.

Zuo Yongning's flesh was only a skeleton, lacking a usual place for the Divine Soul. Therefore, Liang Yi speculated that Zuo Yongning's Divine Soul was likely those two flames!

Sensing the ferocity of this slash, Zuo Yongning, who always used his body to take swords, dared not face it directly this time, withdrawing his fist sharply to block Liang Yi's strike.

A sliver of white sword mark etched onto Zuo Yongning's hand, and he slowly lowered his hands, continuing to charge at Liang Yi.

"Body Cultivation is truly troublesome..."

Seeing this scene, Liang Yi shook his head, feeling a bit resigned.

By now, he noticed that the dense scriptures on Zuo Yongning's bones constituted his domain, inscribed onto his skeleton.

Normally, body cultivators integrate their domain into their flesh, but as Zuo Yongning only had bones, he devised this method.

Moreover, these bones seemed no ordinary bones, their hardness almost rivaling the Xuangold Nine Heavens Stone!

Liang Yi wanted to try Zhou Yu's Heavenly Vault Sword Intent again, but Zuo Yongning's fist was already within reach!

"Die!"

Zuo Yongning roared fiercely, clenching his right hand tightly, adopting a Subduing Tiger posture, striking down from above at Liang Yi.

Unparalleled pressure descended from above; hearing Zuo Yongning's roar, Liang Yi's body stiffened, as if cruelly hammered over the head.

Simultaneously, a strange force issued from all directions, suppressing Liang Yi like a tiger restrained, possessing immense strength yet firmly constrained.

"Subduing Tiger Zen Intent?"

Liang Yi's face darkened, recognizing this well-known Buddhist killing Zen intent.

Treating the opponent as a mountain tiger, transforming oneself into the Subduing Tiger Arhat, overpowering the opponent's spirit with formidable Divine Soul power, suppressing the Void with unparalleled might, naturally including the opponent in the Void.

Though he had no flesh on his face, Liang Yi could still tell that Zuo Yongning was giving a bloodthirsty smile!

But just as Zuo Yongning's killing intent was soaring, another sword light lit up from Liang Yi's arms, unexpectedly targeting the fire in Zuo Yongning's eyes!

This change came incredibly unexpected, and Zuo Yongning never anticipated that Su Youyi still had the strength to deliver such a strike at this moment!

"Ah!! Were you deceiving me earlier?!"

Zuo Yongning let out a wretched wail, clutching his left eye, glaring resentfully at Su Youyi who wielded the sword.

How could someone, who just exerted all their strength and was weak, deliver such a powerful slash?

"Of course not, I was truly weak before, but I couldn't remain weak forever..."

Su Youyi offered a mischievous smile, showing no mercy as a River of Sword Intent emerged behind her, displaying a sword intent so sharp it subtly warped the Void around her.

And freed from the Subduing Tiger Zen Intent's suppression, Liang Yi slightly smiled, his Yuan Zhou sword exuding the same Sword Intent as Su Youyi!

Zhou Yu's Heavenly Vault Sword Intent!

Liang Yi and Su Youyi shot forward like bolts, their coordinated strikes spared no mercy, slashing left and right, directing their swords at Zuo Yongning's eyes!

"Argh!! Damn it!!"

Zuo Yongning roared in fury, covering his left eye with one hand, clasping the other in a palm, erupting Zen intent like a volcano on his body.

Black-golden breath streamed from his bones like flowing water, enshrouding Zuo Yongning, swiftly enveloping him in a vision of an Evil Buddha seated on a throne composed of myriad ghosts!

Unlike the compassionate visage of a normal Golden Buddha, the Evil Buddha, though hands folded, exuded a sinister and eerie aura, grinning gruesomely, innumerable human faces emerging on its body, each silently expressing agony!

Liang Yi and Su Youyi's swords fell on the Evil Buddha!

"Ah————"

Cries of anguish echoed, but not from Zuo Yongning, rather like endless wails layered atop one another from the human faces on the Evil Buddha!

The piercing sound waves transformed into ripples exploding outwards, and Liang Yi and Su Youyi's expressions changed, disappearing in an instant, reappearing several hundred meters away, watching this scene with solemn expressions!

Their swords were effective, both piercing the Evil Buddha's form, yet both knew it hadn't harmed Zuo Yongning in the least.

Because the damage had been absorbed by the Lost Souls on the Evil Buddha. The earlier cries of anguish were from hundreds of powerful Lost Souls being obliterated!

"Kind of cheating, huh..."

Liang Yi examined carefully; after manifesting this Evil Buddha image, Zuo Yongning was perpetually entwined with myriad Lost Souls.

No matter the attack inflicted by foes, the damage could be transferred to the Lost Souls, hundreds weren't enough, then thousands came — always dispersable.

Heavenly Vault Sword Intent, though sharp enough to break through any defense, was not impeded by hardness but rather had its damage transferred and dispersed, perfectly countering the Heavenly Vault Sword Intent.

"The Lost Souls he couldn't summon have become his shield..." Su Youyi, understanding Zuo Yongning's current state, also felt a bit helpless, unable to conceive a good solution.

"Did he put all his skill points into his body or what?" Liang Yi was somewhat speechless.

Not only did he cultivate a Buddha bone Golden Body, but it's now an enhanced variant, and further, he added an armor; how to fight that?

"Hey, hey, He Zhiqing, think of something..."

Liang Yi helplessly sought assistance from He Zhiqing on the other side, hoping to find a solution.

"There is!"

To his surprise, He Zhiqing replied confidently.

"What's the method?" Liang Yi was delighted, at critical times He Zhiqing was trustworthy indeed.

"Bodhi Senior said that Zuo Yongning cultivated the Hell Path within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, taking the route of mastering Hell in pursuit of transcendence." He Zhiqing conveyed. "Now, Bodhi Zen Master has thought of a way, you just need to stall a little longer."
