#265 - Chapter 265: One Sword and All Buddhas Destroyed

The Great Buddha inverted his golden alms bowl, trapping Ye Kong within, and then struck the bowl with his demon-subduing staff.

“Clang!”

With a deafening sound, Ye Kong, standing beneath the golden bowl, staggered, his spirit somewhat unstable.

Seeing this, the surrounding Buddhas and Bodhisattvas attacked Ye Kong one after another.

Ye Kong's eyes narrowed, and he unleashed a sword strike.

The fierce sword energy instantly shredded the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas before him; they couldn't withstand even a single blow from Ye Kong.

Ye Kong's fishing rod was already powerful, and he had later added many materials to make it even stronger.

Seeing the powerful strength that Ye Kong unleashed, the Great Buddha pressed down on the golden bowl with one hand, forcibly suppressing Ye Kong.

Ye Kong raised one hand to resist the immense pressure, while wielding his sword with the other, hacking and slashing.

Although surrounded by many, he was not intimidated in the slightest.

Only a wisp of his will had come, so his combat strength wasn't very high; otherwise, he could have shattered this place with a single sword strike.

Of course, the Buddhas here were also just projections.

Although the Great Buddha said that killing them wouldn't affect their true selves, that was just for Ye Kong's benefit.

Killing them would severely damage his own self.

Those with weaker strength might have their true selves' spirits extinguished on the spot.

After all, their physical bodies were gone, and their spirits had become sources without roots, unable to withstand even the slightest injury.

The spirit was like a porcelain doll; once one part was broken, the whole thing would shatter.

As Ye Kong displayed his formidable strength, many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas dared not approach him.

They were also afraid of damaging their spirits, lest they die before they could return.

Without their harassment, Ye Kong began to focus all his efforts on dealing with the Great Buddha.

Recalling his previous defeat, the Great Buddha burned the golden light on his body, increasing the suppression of Ye Kong.

“Attack with all your might! If you don't kill this child, none of you will return!” the Great Buddha commanded the Buddhas.

After being illuminated, everyone's strength plummeted, and the golden light on their bodies dimmed at a visible rate.

When Ye Kong aimed the Luo Tian Mirror at the Great Buddha, the Great Buddha's golden light was completely burned away, losing its suppressive power over Ye Kong.

The Great Buddha revealed a look of terror, feeling that his strength had been weakened by ninety percent.

The other Buddhas were the same; they dared not attack and instead wanted to flee.

But Ye Kong wouldn't let them leave.

With their strength weakened, they were even less of a match for Ye Kong.

Ye Kong raised his fishing rod and struck, directly splitting the golden bowl in the air in half, and the Great Buddha was also sent flying.

Without the Great Buddha's suppression, Ye Kong completely unleashed his power.

The Buddhas who were fleeing, no matter how fast, couldn't escape Ye Kong's sword.

With one sword strike from Ye Kong, the Buddhas were extinguished!

The Great Buddha rose from the ground, the golden lotus beneath him already shattered, and the golden light on his body had dimmed considerably, losing all its former Buddhahood.

He watched Ye Kong chase and kill the Buddhas, but was powerless to do anything.

“You wait, I will descend sooner or later!” the Great Buddha roared, waving his hand to withdraw the projection to avoid further losses.

Just before dissipating, Ye Kong mobilized all the spiritual power in his body and slashed towards the Great Buddha with his sword!

The Great Buddha and his projection disappeared, but this sword strike from Ye Kong traced back to the source, slashing at the Great Buddha in the endless void.

A deep scar was cut into the Great Buddha's arm, and a few drops of golden blood fell, directly crushing the void.

“You just wait!” the Great Buddha's angry voice echoed.

Some of the Buddhas who followed him had their spirits collapse, turning into golden light and dissipating.

As the projection dissipated, Ye Kong's consciousness returned, and he sat wearily by the Bitter Sea.

Exerting all his strength to unleash that final sword strike had greatly exhausted him.

Ye Kong was so tired at the moment that he could barely hold the fishing rod steady.

“Just a projection is so terrifying, it seems the true Buddha's strength is quite formidable,” Ye Kong murmured.

Fortunately, at most only the Great Buddha would be able to return; the other Buddhas wouldn't be able to.

Moreover, Ye Kong guessed that the Great Buddha would need some kind of guidance to return, and the key to that guidance lay with Ye Wuxin.

But as long as Ye Wuxin didn't provide guidance, the Great Buddha wouldn't be able to return.

“When I establish my foundation, I'll find your lair and wipe you out!” Ye Kong clenched his fist.

Being harassed by the Great Buddha several times made him even more determined to destroy the Buddhas.

Ye Kong leaned against the willow tree and fell asleep, completely exhausted.

He slept for a whole day.

It wasn't until evening that he slowly woke up.

When he woke up and opened his eyes, he saw Lin Yaoyao standing in front of him, holding an umbrella for him; it was raining.

“Drizzle, drizzle…”

“Master, why are you sleeping even when it's raining?” Lin Yaoyao asked, puzzled.

“I'm tired,” Ye Kong said softly.

Tired?

You can get tired from fishing?

I told you to cultivate properly, but you wouldn't listen; now look, you can get tired from fishing.

“Let me help you back to rest.”

Lin Yaoyao said, helping Ye Kong up.

Only when she helped her master up did Lin Yaoyao realize that her master's body was very limp, as if he had no strength at all.

“Master, what exactly did you do? Why don't you have any strength at all?” Lin Yaoyao couldn't help but ask.

“I had a fight with someone,” Ye Kong said with a light smile.

Hearing this, Lin Yaoyao couldn't help but frown and ask, “Then are you okay?”

“I'm fine, it's just that my spiritual power is exhausted, I'm a little weak.” Hearing this, Lin Yaoyao frowned as she looked at her master.

Fortunately, he's okay.

With your Qi Refining cultivation, you went to fight someone?

Isn't that just going to your death?

You can't win, what if you get hurt?

Lin Yaoyao looked at her unreliable master and wanted to ask who he fought with, so she could take Little White and the others to take revenge.

But when she thought about it, how strong could the person who fought with her master be?

If she asked, where would her master's face be?

Alas, Master is really something; he's not strong, yet he still goes to fight.

Lin Yaoyao sighed in her heart as she helped Ye Kong back to his room.

“Master, in the future, when you fight, can you bring your disciples along?”

“We'll go cheer you on,” Lin Yaoyao said to Ye Kong.

“This… wouldn't that be inconvenient?” Ye Kong said.

The place where I fought them was too dangerous; if Lin Yaoyao and the others went, the Buddhas could kill them with a single glance.

Lin Yaoyao couldn't help but mutter in her heart: What's inconvenient? We won't laugh at you.

Moreover, when you fight with others, how can you not bring helpers?

Master, I understand that you want to save face, but don't be stubborn if you can't win.

“Then, Master, can you at least tell us when you go out to fight?” Lin Yaoyao said again.

“Okay,” Ye Kong nodded.

I don't actively cause trouble; trouble always comes to me.

Hearing her master's promise, Lin Yaoyao covered him with the quilt and left.

After Lin Yaoyao walked out of the room, her expression instantly became extremely gloomy.

“Who dares to bully my master?”

Lin Yaoyao said a few cold words and flew towards Peach Mountain.

She felt it was necessary to investigate and find the person who bullied her master to avenge him.

“Dare to bully my master, you just wait!”
