624 Lian Yus Tes (2/2)
She was too weak to forcefully ravish Merciless Tyrant but she was not barred from seducing him. She wanted him to surrender to her willingly. If she could ravish an ”elixir” of a grandmaster or someone close to that level, she would be able to break through her predicament of many years. She would be able to become a grandmaster herself!
Her long-winded speech earlier was all for the purpose of confusing Merciless Tyrant and shaking his confidence.
A pure and holy Bodhisattva in a white dress emerged behind her as her body emitted a green radiance. The statue held a lotus in its right hand. It resembled Lian Yu but was even purer and more compassionate. It was half-naked, its chest exposed. Its flesh was made out of the interweaving Dharma and Logos. The statue was incredibly attractive and tempting. Its graceful mouth opened ever so slightly and its left hand was placed on its breast as if it was about to undress. It was a sight that invited lustful gazes.
The contradicting feelings of holiness and enticement strangely fused together, giving off an indescribable charm. The statue instantly ”lured” Meng Qi's Vital Spirit!
Scattered white petals and pale red mist filled the hall. There seemed to be quiet sounds of moaning and groaning drifting through the air.
Thump, thump, thump! Meng Qi's heart beat like a drum. Blood rushed all over his body and his breathing turned heavy. He felt as if he could no longer control himself.
The enticement felt as natural as the rhythm of the world and was impossibly difficult to resist. It was as if she was the manifestation of sex itself—the manifestation of the desire in his heart!
Thud, thud, thud! The men inside the hall all fell to their knees one after another, their expressions were of frenzied infatuation. They looked as if they wanted peace yet were afraid of sullying the holiness.
Thump, thump, thump! Enduring the temptation with great difficulty, Meng Qi activated the heart sutras of Ananda Buddhist Commandment Blade and forcefully eliminated his thoughts. He hung onto whatever calmness he had left.
His Primal Aperture at Mid-brows turned dark and bleary. There was neither top nor bottom, neither front nor back, and neither past nor future. The Immortal Primogenitor Form materialized in his Interior to resist the indescribable influence of Dharma and Logos.
These two countermeasures gave Meng Qi a chance. He instantly visualized the Gist of Trueness of the Buddha's Palm in the depths of his Vital Spirit and the statue of Big Golden Buddha instantly appeared above his sea of consciousness. One of its hands was pointing to the sky, while the other hand was on the ground. Its mouth was voicing a grand chant:
”In the Heavens and on Earth, I, the Unique and Righteous, am everywhere and nowhere!”
Buddha's voice was like the sound of lightning. ”I” was above all kinds of desires and merged with the unextinguishable Vital Spirit into one, thus eliminating all sorts of desires.
The gushing of blood through his veins and arteries slowed down and his heartbeat eased as well. His breathing became comfortably drawn-out. Meng Qi had broken away from the influence of the interweaved Dharma and Logos. When he sensed his surroundings, he was surprised to find that Ying Ning and Le Huan were being tempted too. Their cheeks were flushed and their moans were unending. Meanwhile, Bodhisattva Lian Yu had yet to notice Meng Qi's clear, lucid eyes and was operating her Dharma Form.
Meng Qi was about to laugh and excuse himself, fully demonstrating the style of an authority of the heterodox path, when a better idea hit him. Hadn't he obtained the Blood of the Evil Saint recently? It would come in handy in frightening these people in order to let them know that his claim of ”using Teachings of Buddhism to complement his foundation in Devil Arts” was not baseless!
The purple drop of blood fell out of the Space Ring and onto Meng Qi's palm. The sinisterly engulfing breath was absorbed into his body through the hollow of his palm, blending with the imitated breath of the Big Golden Buddha that was made from Eight Nine Mysteries.
Bodhisattva Lian Yu was trying her best to use her Dharma Form when she suddenly felt malevolent Devil Qi engulfing the sky. It exerted such great pressure that her spirit trembled. The Devil Qi was full of the taste of engulfment, ruination, and degradation. Yet, at the same time, it united the contradicting Buddhist touch of Zen, mercy, and compassion. Together, they merged to form an apathetic feeling of overlooking the world of mortals.
The Buddha Aura dyed the interior of the hall black while the Devil Qi swirled in the air. The vicissitudes of life and wicked desires were connected to the void as if a genuine evil spirit was about to emerge on earth. Meng Qi stood tall amid this chaos with his hands behind his back, looking like Buddha and God itself.
Lian Yu's eyes froze as her emotions surged. Behind her, the image of Bodhisattva began to sway.
”Tyrant has truly become an authority among heterodox masters!
”I couldn't even force him into showing his Dharma Form!”
”Lian Yu, must I still demonstrate my Dharma Form?” Meng Qi smiled gently at her.
Everyone inside the hall came back to their senses after hearing his words. They looked at Meng Qi as if he was the true Demonic Monarch himself.
Bodhisattva Lian Yu rescinded her Dharma Form with a smile, not displaying the least bit of disappointment. ”Merciless Tyrant, the title of Demonic Monarch no longer suits you. You now possess strength great enough to put you on the Black List. I'm not as strong so I'll excuse myself for now. I'll report this to Sect Leader Bodhisattva and I believe a meeting can be arranged for tomorrow to make the contract.”
”Tomorrow?” Meng Qi was stunned. ”Do I have to eliminate Merciless Tyrant tonight and adopt a new identity so I can hide on the island until I find a chance to become a suitable disciple who can come into contact with the sword?
”But whose identity should I adopt?”
After excusing themselves from Bodhisattva Lian Yu, Le Huan led Meng Qi and Ying Ning into the guest house.
From what he had seen throughout their journey here, Meng Qi noticed the island was teeming with spirit beasts that feasted on wild animals. If he disguised as a mouse, he must be vigilant against their attacks lest he is exposed in a moment of carelessness. On the other hand, disguising as tiny living creatures was only possible with frequent changes.
”Just whose identity should I adopt?
”What excuse can I use for Merciless Tyrant's disappearance? How can I not arouse suspicion and cause an island-wide search?”
