Chapter 3944 Buddhist Suppression

At this moment, my body was surging with demonic energy, and my eyes were fierce. The blood priest opposite me was completely covered by a red robe, and his eyes, which emitted a red light, were staring at me. At first, he was emitting a red aura, but now the color of his aura gradually changed, from red to black, and he actually turned into a body of demonic energy.

The blood priest before me had not summoned any demons to possess him. His current state was probably similar to mine; he was merely using the demons' energy to enhance his cultivation.

Even without the help of demonic energy, I might not be able to defeat him. Right now, the Blood Priest is really determined to finish this quickly and kill us all.

I glanced back at Yuan Kong lying on the ground, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and realized I was too weak to fight any longer.

However, Yuan Kong sat cross-legged on the ground, took off the prayer beads from his neck, placed them on his hands, closed his eyes and began to chant scriptures, and golden Buddhist light once again permeated Yuan Kong's body.

As he chanted scriptures, streams of golden energy flowed into my body, helping me suppress the rampant demonic energy within me and preventing me from becoming so bloodthirsty and impulsive.

However, as a result, the blood priest was suppressed by Yuan Kong's Buddhist teachings, and his face became somewhat distorted.

Buddhism is specifically designed to counteract these heretical and unorthodox practices.

The blood priest roared and raised his scepter again, smashing it down at me.

I know I'm no match for him, but right now, I'm the only one who can stand up to him.

The slovenly Taoist priest had no idea what could have caused the patriarch to possess him. We were currently far away in the Philippines, and the patriarch's spirit still had to travel a long distance, crossing mountains and rivers. This journey must have been difficult for him.

When the blood priest brandished his scepter and charged at me again, I could only grit my teeth and endure it. After using the power of the demon, he was indeed much stronger than before. Just one slam into the Shengxie Sword almost made me drop it from my hand.

I felt like my hand holding the magic sword almost slipped out of my grasp.

I quickly stepped back, sheathed the Shengxie Sword, and took out the Tianzhao Spear again.

After all, the Heavenly Swamp Spear is a magical artifact that can neutralize most of the power from the opponent's artifact, which allows me to last longer.

My main task now is to stall for time and wait for the slovenly Taoist priest to possess me, so I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Perhaps if the two of us work together, we can take down this blood priest.

The Blood Priest was all I could see, so I dared not be careless in the slightest. If I made even the slightest mistake, I might be killed on the spot by his scepter.

Yuan Kong's chanting grew louder and louder. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Yuan Kong had also used his golden bronze bowl, which was suspended above his head and emitted a golden light that enveloped him.

The golden bronze alms bowl was left to him by his master, Zen Master Jueming. Now it seems that this ritual implement also has the effect of enhancing Buddhist practice.

Under the influence of Yuan Kong's Buddhist teachings, I unleashed my full power, relying on the Heavenly Swamp Spear in my hand, and barely managed to exchange more than a dozen blows with the Blood Priest. However, every single blow made me extremely uncomfortable.

The terrifying impact made my internal organs tremble.

If it weren't for the suppression of Yuan Kong's Buddhist teachings, I would have been killed by that blood priest by now.

After exchanging a few blows with me, the blood priest realized the key to the problem was Yuan Kong, who was sitting not far away chanting scriptures.

Immediately, the blood priest abandoned his entanglement with me, his figure blurred, and he flashed towards Yuan Kong, raising his scepter high and smashing it down heavily on Yuan Kong's head.

By the time I realized what was happening, it was too late. I shouted "Yuan Kong!" and quickly moved towards Yuan Kong.

At this critical moment, Kassan's Blood God Gu suddenly appeared behind the Blood Priest, poised to bite him.

The blood priest immediately sensed the danger, paused, and his demonic energy surged, preventing the Blood God Gu from getting close.

The Blood Priest distanced himself, squinting at the Blood God Gu with a greedy look in his eyes.

Such top-grade Gu worms would naturally make these evil cultivators envious, and they would wish to turn them into their own treasures immediately.

At this moment, I had already jumped to Yuan Kong's side, wielding the Heavenly Swamp Spear, and engaged in battle with him once again.

After the Blood Priest became wary of the Blood God Gu, it became much more difficult to launch a sneak attack.

Actually, several members of the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary saw that Yuan Kong was injured and wanted to take advantage of the situation. However, Kasang had been secretly protecting Yuan Kong's safety. Whenever someone approached, Kasang would raise his sword and kill them on the spot.

After several people were killed in succession, no one dared to approach Yuan Kong anymore.

Kassan is reliable; he was our greatest support when we were in dire straits.

The blood priest still wanted to kill Yuan Kong, because his constant chanting of scriptures not only greatly affected him, but the sound of his Buddhist chanting also enhanced my cultivation.

While continuously strengthening myself, I can also constantly weaken the Blood Priest's power, which is something the Blood Priest cannot tolerate.

After exchanging a few blows with me, the blood priest quickly circled around to Yuan Kong's side again, raised his scepter, and swung it at Yuan Kong's head once more.

This time, it wasn't the Blood God Gu that appeared to protect Yuan Kong, but Kasang, who appeared behind the Blood Priest and stabbed him in the back with a sword.

The Blood Priest was prepared. He swept his scepter sharply, intercepting Kassan, and then struck again with the scepter, continuing to attack Yuan Kong.

He moved too fast, giving me no time to react. By the time I flashed to the blood priest's side, his scepter had already swung down at Yuan Kong's head again.

I thought to myself, "This time I'm doomed."

But I didn't expect that the blow wouldn't hit Yuan Kong, because while Yuan Kong was reciting the scriptures, he used the golden bronze bowl as the core of the formation to set up a Buddhist barrier.

The scepter landed on the Buddhist barrier, immediately emitting a loud hum.

In that instant, several cracks appeared in the Buddhist barrier that had been formed in the void.

Yuan Kong swayed, his face turned deathly pale, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.

Before the blood priest could swing his spear a second time, I roared and rushed to his side, assuming a desperate stance, and began to frantically hurl the swamp spear at him.

However, without the blessing of Yuan Kong's Buddhist power, the blood priest's strength rose again, and the suppressed demonic energy became vigorous once more.

In just a few moves, his scepter struck my chest.
