Chapter 62: Spoiling Your Merit

Translator: NinetalesEditor: Fish Creek

”Spoiling your religious practice and spoiling your merit?”

Qin Mu sneered as he cut off the rest of the chains, ”You're merely a copper Buddha statue so where does your merit come from? Is your merit restraining Woman Wu here? But you turned a blind eye when Woman Wu ate humans in front of you. If you had any merit, it would have all been squandered away by you!”

The body of the great Buddha quivered as the blood marks on the copper body glowed. With the golden leaves covering it, it became a great Buddha sparkling in golden lights as it spoke with a muffled voice, ”Do you know how many people would be eaten and ruined if you set it free?”

”I only know that it had hidden countless bones behind your back and used you to commit evil. I don't see you doing anything about it.”

Qin Mu cut off the second chain and sneered, ”The ice tide right outside the temple happens several times a year. Have you done anything about it? To solve the ice tide issue is then considered a merit, but sitting in the temple to restrain a monster is not, much less allowing the monster to eat people. If you shatter the ice tide to save the common people downstream, then will you have great merits!”

The Buddha statue shone with a golden glow and its hands moved as if he was becoming alive. Woman Wu immediately shouted in alarm, ”The old bald donkey is an evil Buddha. He's trying to purify me to death. Hurry up!”

Qin Mu moved quickly and went out of the temple in a flash as he used Junior Protector Sword to cut off the chains outside the temple.

”The sins of all lives need to be washed away by the flood. Only then could they rid themselves of evil. They reap what they sow.”

Booom.

A violent tremor came out as the copper Buddha stood up and broke apart the temple with its head. It roared like thunder which shook the heavens and the earth. ”You evil spirit, how dare you spoil the teachings of Buddha! You stubborn evil creature can't be enlightened!”

The chains that had chained down the copper Buddha and Woman Wu instantly seemed to become alive as they whistled through the air and shot towards Qin Mu.

”The teachings of your Buddha are all about saving yourself by saving others and not saving others for the sake of saving them. Hypocrite.”

Qin Mu leaped and avoided the coiling of a chain. He used his Junior Protector Sword to cut down the last chain, ”It would still be your merit if you killed Woman Wu back then when you brought it under control. But you merely restrained it and still allowed it to harm people. Why? Because eating people is its sins, and the greater its sins become, the greater your merit would be for purifying it. Bah! The sins of Woman Wu for the people it had eaten should be counted as your sins as well!”

Clank—

Junior Protector Sword collided with the chains and a powerful force came out from the chain, deflecting the treasure sword away.

Qin Mu grunted and stumbled back while avoiding the chains that were like two black pythons. He then sneered, ”With the flood around all the temple, you are not only sitting here and refusing to help people, but even stopping me from helping people, and you still think of attaining merits? Let me tell you, there are many elderly in my village that helps fight against the ice tide every year, saving the common folks and beasts, saving countless of lives! If one can become a Buddha just by merits alone, every one of them would already be Golden Body Great Buddha and not like you, mere a copper statue!”

”Ridiculous!”

The copper Buddha was extremely huge and with a raise of its leg, the Buddha walked out of the rundown temple. With its palms together, the clanging of the metal chains sounded as the Buddha shone brightly and repelled Qin Mu!

All of Qin Mu's limbs and bones shocked as he hanged in midair while the chains came flying at him.

Stepping on the chains, he sprinted along it as he used his vital qi to control Junior Protector Sword to cut down on the last chain that was shackling Woman Wu.

The chains were like extremely thick pythons crisscrossing in midair as they attacked towards Qin Mu, dazzling him.

The copper Buddha was clearly made from brass yet it was extremely nimble, simply unimaginable.

Previously the copper Buddha couldn't differentiate between Qin Mu and Woman Wu. Only when Qin Mu used the devil voice would the copper Buddha react automatically by saying Buddhist incantation to purify Woman Wu. Now that Qin Mu had tried to release Woman Wu, the copper Buddha had changed its ways by attacking Qin Mu automatically.

The thick chains flew towards him in all directions and Qin Mu stepped on one of the chains to avoid the rest of the attacks.

The power of the copper Buddha from the chains slowly grew stronger. The vibration caused by the chains grinding against one another made Qin Mu's unstable. His legs got sore with the vibration, and his control on Junior Protector Sword wasn't as accurate as before.

The copper Buddha grew stronger and stronger as if there were limitless strengths in its body. At this moment, these strengths were awakening bit by bit.

Granny Si and Cripple had brought up this copper Buddha before and had said that there was something strange with the copper Buddha. Granny Si had said she once decided to get rid of Woman Wu but was stopped by the copper Buddha and didn't succeed.

Granny Si was naturally extremely powerful yet she was unable to get rid of Woman Wu. This meant that when the power of the copper Buddha fully awakened, it would be extremely terrifying!

And now, the copper Buddha's strength was awakening bit by bit!
