Chapter 563: Chapter 315: Immortal Su Que! (Part 2)

Of course, the mages of the Buddhist temple also spread the Buddhist Dao.

However, mages only let believers worship themselves, not the Buddha.

The cultivation of lower realm mages is not high, and karmic force does not affect them.

This way, they can establish good connections with the local people, making it easier to select those with talent.

"May I ask what brings you two benefactors here?"

Seeing Su Jing and Li Yujing, the gatekeeping monk folded his hands and approached them.

Su Jing asked, "Do you know if a monk with the secular name ’Su Que’ has recently joined the temple?"

The gatekeeping monk smiled and said, "I am not aware of that. You would need to ask the Abbot. Please come into the temple, and I shall take you to him."

After saying this, Su Jing heard Li Yujing’s voice by her ear.

Li Yujing had used the Secret Transmission technique to speak to Su Jing.

"Xiao Jing, all Buddhist temples in the world today are forcing those with talent to join."

"Going in like this is walking into the lion’s den."

Just as she finished speaking, Su Jing suddenly joined the five slender fingers of her right hand together and chopped towards the monk’s neck, intending to knock him out.

"Why does the girl resort to violence?"

The gatekeeping monk, seeing that Su Jing’s martial arts were impressive, brightened his eyes. After dodging Su Jing’s chop, he spread his five fingers and reached out to grab Su Jing.

Smack!

Li Yujing suddenly took action, slapping the back of the monk’s head, knocking him out.

The monk’s body went limp and fell to the ground.

Then Su Jing and Li Yujing stealthily infiltrated the temple, planning to find other monks to inquire about Su Que’s whereabouts.

Soon after they left, a wisp of black smoke soared over.

After passing by the monk lying on the ground, the monk immediately turned to ashes.

This wisp of black smoke was Su Que’s incarnation.

In that instant, he absorbed the essence qi and spirit of the monk and used the "Ten Yang Little Thunderbolt" to destroy the monk’s corpse.

Su Que’s incarnation, after passing the gatekeeping monk, immediately headed into the temple.

In this small world, the temple monks are all martial artists and mages devoted to Spirit Mountain.

No longer are ordinary people needed as monks.

Those ordinary people monks are now disbanded.

Thus, Su Que can always absorb a lot of essence qi and spirit from the monks.

...

Inside the temple, Su Jing and Li Yujing used their lightweight skills to quietly glide through.

They quickly targeted a monk patrolling the corridor.

Just as they were about to knock out this monk for questioning, they were surprised to see the monk vanish instantly.

Only a pile of ashes slowly descended from the air.

Su Que’s incarnation is now at the fourth-layer of the Realm of Merging, his speed beyond Su Jing and Li Yujing’s ability to see.

Feeling puzzled, Su Jing and Li Yujing flew towards the Great Hall of the Venerable.

Soon afterward, they saw piles of ashes slowly falling to the ground from the air.

"What is this sorcery?"

Su Jing asked.

Even Li Yujing, startled, turned a bit pale and shook her head.

...

A day later, the news of monks and bandits turning to ashes without cause spread across the Qi Kingdom.

Some think it’s the work of immortals, others feel it’s something sinister.

The White Elephant Vajra and the two Arhats, naturally, heard the news.

They think the person responsible is likely a cultivator who came from the Upper Realm to the Lower Realm.

Destroying their temple may be an act to sabotage their selection of talented individuals in this world.

They initially thought the visitor to this Lower Realm was a cultivator who once ascended from here.

However, the actions of this person make them believe he’s dispatched by the Celestial Court.

The White Elephant Vajra and the two Arhats pursued this news.

As they tracked it, they saw one emptied temple after another.

After another day, the White Elephant Vajra finally encountered the black aura transformed from Su Que’s incarnation in a temple, absorbing the essence qi and spirit of one of his Spirit Mountain followers and then using a fireball to destroy the follower’s corpse.

"Finally found you!"

The White Elephant Vajra, upon seeing Su Que’s incarnation, felt both joy and anger.

His large white nose curled upward, letting out a humming sound.

He lifted a demon-subduing pestle over one zhang long and as thick as a bowl’s rim, smashing it towards Su Que!

The Demon-Subduing Pestle guided the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, collapsing towards Su Que like a broken sky pillar.

Su Que’s clone gathered into a human form.

With both hands clenched into fists, two vortexes like black holes suddenly condensed between his hands.

Dark Evil Fist, Time Pause!

The White Elephant Vajra executed the Staff Technique, his massive body leaping into the air, raising the Demon-Subduing Pestle, suddenly frozen.

Su Que then controlled his clone, taking advantage of this pause, executed the Seven Injuries Fist and struck towards the White Elephant Vajra.

The fists fell like raindrops upon the expansive chest of the White Elephant Vajra.

The Buddha’s Light shrouding his body was dimmed by Su Que’s fists.

The armor on the White Elephant Vajra swiftly showed fist-imprints.

Su Que’s Seven Injuries Fist Force surged into the White Elephant Vajra’s body like a river breaching a dam.

The next instant, time flowed.

The five viscera and six intestines of the White Elephant Vajra were shattered by Su Que’s Seven Injuries Fist Force.

Mouthfuls of fresh blood spurted from the White Elephant Vajra’s mouth.

The blood spilled on the ground, revealing pieces of fragmented inner viscera mixed within.

Bang!

The White Elephant Vajra was severely injured and could no longer hold the massive Demon-Subduing Pestle.

The Demon-Subduing Pestle smashed onto the ground, causing a loud crash, kicking up mud and dust in all directions.

The two Arhats accompanying the White Elephant Vajra, seeing Su Que’s formidable power, widened their eyes, performed Buddha Seal, and attempted to depart on golden light.

Su Que controlled his clone to catch up with the two Arhats.

He wielded the Demon Saber and struck upon the bodies of the two Arhats!

Suddenly, two Sword Gangs, twelve zhang long, extended from his dark clone, and sliced towards the two Arhats at the waist.

With a swish, the two Arhats were immediately sliced in half at the waist.

The two bodies each separated into halves, squirming on the ground.

Intestines and blood were strewn all over the ground.

Yet, the two Arhats happened to be cultivators in the Merging Realm, and even though bisected at the waist, they did not die.

Moreover, their bodies had specks of Buddha’s Light connecting them, seemingly if someone reattached their upper and lower halves, they could heal.

However, Su Que would not allow them to heal.

Su Que first executed Telepathy, acquiring the memories of the two Arhats.

Then, he applied the Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique to absorb the essence qi and spirit of the two Arhats.

His clone thus became more solid, and his cultivation level increased a bit.

Afterward, he seized the storage pouches of the two Arhats, and then executed "Ten Yang Little Thunderbolt."

Two fireballs emerged in the air, rolling towards the corpses of the two Arhats.

Where the fireballs passed, the two Arhats instantly turned to ashes.

Next, Su Que performed similarly, obtained the memories of the White Elephant Vajra, took his storage pouch, and destroyed his corpse.

At the same time, Su Que also placed the White Elephant Vajra’s Demon-Subduing Pestle into the storage pouch.

After acquiring the cultivation of these individuals, Su Que’s clone immediately ascended to the Eighth Layer in the Realm of Merging.

Subsequently, Su Que then controlled his clone, heading to other places in the small world.

Absorbing the essence qi and spirit of the Spirit Mountain followers and bandits in this small world.

...

As the evildoers in this small world inexplicably turned to ashes one after another.

More and more of those rescued began spreading the legend of Su Que.

All said this was a true immortal descended from the heavens.

From then on, in this small world, storytellers in teahouses began compiling the tales of Su Que.

Some in the art of painting imagined the image of this immortal Su Que, and painted it to sell to the people.

Su Jing visited many Buddhist Temples, unable to find Su Que, also heard about the legend of this immortal.

"Turns out it’s not strange, but an immortal..."

After hearing about the good deeds of Su Que’s clone in various places, Su Jing spoke with Li Yujing.

Li Yujing nodded, quietly said, "This immortal seems far better than those Buddhas."

"I hope it’s a true immortal and doesn’t take anything from us here."

Since the Divine Buddha from Spirit Mountain invaded this small world, Li Yujing learned much from Li Xuanji.

Now, as the Buddhist followers in this world gradually vanish, Li Yujing also breathed a sigh of relief for her long-oppressed brother.

One night, Su Jing, in her room, missed Su Que dearly.

She gazed at the bright moon in the sky, suddenly clasped her hands together, saying: "Nameless immortal, if you know where my brother Su Que is, please inform me."
