Chapter 2146: Chapter 2144: Elder Sang Hua Is Dying!

The vessel was shaken by Ye Tianchen!

The drop of blood in this vessel was suddenly activated, releasing a force so powerful it was astonishing. Ye Tianchen, Princess Zi Xuan, and Elder Sang Hua were all blown away. It was precisely because of this that it was unbelievable—the single drop of blood in this vessel was just too powerful!

When the drop of blood in the vessel was activated, a blood-colored human shadow appeared, emitting a tremendously powerful aura that was shocking to everyone. Elder Sang Hua immediately knelt to the ground, respectfully shouting the words ”Ming King”!

This blood-colored human shadow spoke, summoning Elder Sang Hua to fly to its side. Ye Tianchen could almost conclude that the ”Ming King” Sang Hua mentioned should indeed be the ”Peacock Great Bright King.” Was the drop of blood in this vessel left by the ”Peacock Great Bright King”? It should be, and if it’s as Ye Tianchen suspected, then he and Princess Zi Xuan were truly in grave danger!

”Could it really be the blood left by the Peacock Great Bright King? This power is too overwhelming, surpassing us. With my second master, Elder Sang Hua, included, how can we withstand such destruction?” Princess Zi Xuan asked worriedly.

”Even if we can’t withstand it, we must. We only have to fight with all our might!” Ye Tianchen said with determined eyes.

”No, something’s not right. The Peacock Great Bright King existed in the same era as the Buddhist Emperor, and the Buddhist Emperor has been gone for countless years. Whether they entered the Immortal Domain or have passed away, they shouldn’t still exist in this world. The Peacock Great Bright King’s drop of blood is so formidable; could it mean that the Peacock Great Bright King is still alive? How is that possible? Wouldn’t that mean they’re an immortal existence?” Princess Zi Xuan pointed out, voicing her doubt.

”That’s unknown for now. This isn’t the time for such thoughts; our big trouble is coming!” Ye Tianchen frowned and said.

At this moment!

Elder Sang Hua had already flown in front of the vessel. The blood-colored human shadow inside wasn’t very strong, like a small Demon, flickering with a peacock feather atop its head, exuding some Divine Power!

”Ming King above, Ming Hui pays respect!” Elder Sang Hua said with utmost reverence.

”Are you currently the one guarding the vessel?” the blood-colored human shadow asked coldly.

”Yes, I’m fortunate to guard this vessel for the Ming King, and I am willing to forever pledge allegiance to my Buddha!” Elder Sang Hua said seriously.

”You’re mistaken; you’re not pledging allegiance to my Buddha...” the blood-colored human shadow said disdainfully.

”Ming King, I... don’t know where I went wrong!” Elder Sang Hua said nervously.

”The Buddhist Sect has many legacies, and what you should pledge allegiance to is my Peacock Great Bright King’s legacy, not the so-called Buddhist Emperor’s Tao!” the blood-colored human shadow said coldly.

These words startled Elder Sang Hua, who said with a hint of doubt: ”The way of the Buddhist Sect originated from the Buddhist Emperor, only the Buddhist Emperor’s Tao is the orthodox path of the Buddhist Sect, all other paths are branches, Fake Tao!”

”Hahaha, the strong are respected, and the Buddhist Sect is no exception. The Buddhist Emperor has passed, my Peacock Great Bright King’s Tao should prevail worldwide, ruling the Buddhist Sect. You must pledge allegiance; otherwise, you will be annihilated in soul and body!” the blood-colored human shadow suddenly laughed loudly and roared.

Elder Sang Hua frowned, instinctively retreating. However, as if anticipated by the blood-colored human shadow, it extended a massive palm, grabbing towards Elder Sang Hua. Startled, Elder Sang Hua swung their flower sword, releasing a wave of Sword Qi. The Sword Qi was rampant and not weak, but against this palm emerging from the blood-colored shadow, it seemed to have no effect at all, being directly shattered. In the next moment, as Elder Sang Hua reacted, the blood-colored palm struck her flower sword!

Boom!

It shattered, the flower sword was shattered to pieces, and Elder Sang Hua was shocked beyond words. She had not expected a mere blood-colored human shadow, formed from a single drop of blood, to be so powerful. Instantly retreating, her palms struck out with a shout:

”Flying Flower Divine Palm!”

Boom!

But when the mighty force of Elder Sang Hua’s palms struck against the blood-colored palm, a powerful force immediately assaulted her, startling Elder Sang Hua. At that moment, she felt a sharp pain in her arms, and upon looking, found her arms shattered, flesh and blood mangled. The force of this blood-colored palm was too overwhelming for her to resist!

Smack!

The blood-colored palm grabbed Elder Sang Hua’s head, the blood-colored shadow coldly said, ”I need some strength; you’re a bit weak, but you’ll do for now!”

Swoosh!

A blood light shot out from the top of Elder Sang Hua’s head. Elder Sang Hua’s entire body trembled, her face pale and ashen like death. Her Essence, Energy, and Spirit had been drained by this blood-colored human shadow, leaving her without even the strength to resist!

”Second Master...” Princess Zi Xuan couldn’t help but shout loudly.

”Zi... Zi Xuan, Second Master was wrong, Second Master was deceived, hurry and leave this place...” Elder Sang Hua weakly said as she looked at Princess Zi Xuan.

”Second Master, I will save you!” Princess Zi Xuan immediately disregarded everything, taking her jade flute and flying upward.

Buzz!

A Buddhist Rune materialized, blocking Princess Zi Xuan at once. She desperately channeled power through her jade flute, trying to shatter this Buddhist Rune, but it seemed in vain. This blood-colored human shadow was simply too powerful. Not to mention Elder Sang Hua’s strength, even if Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan teamed up, it wasn’t certain they would prevail. But this blood-colored shadow only had to strike with a single hand to leave Elder Sang Hua powerless, only waiting for death, truly astonishing!

”Zi... Zi Xuan, quick, leave...” Elder Sang Hua shouted with all her might.

The blood-colored hand emerged from the blood-colored human shadow, incredibly powerful. Elder Sang Hua was clearly unable to resist, completely suppressed as her Essence, Energy, and Spirit were instantly drained. At this moment, Elder Sang Hua was on her last breath, nearly out of strength even to speak, let alone resist!

”Second Master...” Tears fell involuntarily from Princess Zi Xuan’s eyes, wielding her jade flute fiercely against the Buddhist Rune standing before her, but her power seemed unable to shatter this Rune!

Bang!

A powerful fist strike landed on the Buddhist Rune, shaking the entire interior of the Buddha statue. Even the blood-colored shadow paused for a moment, while Princess Zi Xuan looked at Ye Tianchen with a hint of delight and said, ”You...”

”I’m helping you, your Second Master was merely deceived!” Ye Tianchen said earnestly.

Boom!

When Ye Tianchen punched the Buddhist Rune again, he increased the force of the strike, breaking open a small gap in the Rune. Ye Tianchen was the first to rush toward the blood-colored shadow in the vessel, while the shadow casually tossed Elder Sang Hua’s body, sending it heavily towards the wall, seemingly attempting to completely annihilate the already lingering spirit!

”Second Master!” Princess Zi Xuan turned into a beam of light, rushing towards her Second Master. As Elder Sang Hua’s body was about to crash into the wall, Princess Zi Xuan caught her, landing on the ground, with tears welling up as she looked at the dying Elder Sang Hua.

”Second Master, Second Master...” Princess Zi Xuan called softly.

”Zi Xuan, hurry and leave!” Elder Sang Hua opened her eyes weakly, already on her last breath, her Essence, Energy, and Spirit drained by the blood-colored shadow, leaving her close to death!

”Second Master, I won’t leave, if we go, we go together!” Princess Zi Xuan said sorrowfully.

”Zi Xuan, listen to Second Master, years ago when I came to this West State, this giant Buddha statue, I was affected by the influence of the Buddhist Scriptures, leading to a change in my disposition, and believing the Buddhist heritage was supreme, the only path for a Martial Artist, so I stayed here to protect it. But, I didn’t realize this Buddhism was not the path of the Buddhist Emperor, but rather the path of the Peacock Great Bright King, whose Taoist path of slaughter is not the true Buddhist path. I was wrong!” Elder Sang Hua said with some regret.

”Second Master, it’s not your fault, it’s not your fault, it’s just the Peacock Great Bright King’s ruthlessness!” Princess Zi Xuan said with heartache.

”Hurry up and leave, Second Master can’t survive, you can’t die here, the single drop of blood left by the Peacock Great Bright King is too strong, you’re no match for it, hurry and leave!” Elder Sang Hua worriedly told Princess Zi Xuan.

Boom!

A loud sound erupted. Ye Tianchen was already engaged in a fierce battle with the blood-colored shadow in the vessel, and at this moment, he also felt tremendous pressure. He attacked with full force, not daring to hold back. You should know, a single drop of blood in the vessel had transformed into a blood-colored shadow, and its mere palm strike had brought Elder Sang Hua to such a dire state, unable even to resist, can he afford to underestimate it? Naturally, he couldn’t, so he went all out to battle, merely staving off the shadow’s assault temporarily!

Slap!

The blood-colored shadow slapped towards Ye Tianchen’s head. Instantly, Ye Tianchen tightly gripped his right hand, channeling powerful energy into his right arm, and unleashed the ”Overlord Fist,” crashing heavily against the blood-colored palm!

Thud!

Ye Tianchen felt his arm sink; the blood-colored palm was still descending. However, his Overlord Fist wasn’t completely ineffective, if only slightly slowing the descent of the blood-colored palm, allowing him to maneuver around it without being struck... (To be continued.
