Chapter 62: Spoiling Your Merit (2/2)
Even if it was partly awakened, it wasn't what Qin Mu was able to withstand.
Right at this moment, an earth-shattering crash sounded out. The ice tide from upstream had finally reached the oasis. The towering ice mountain which was dozens of yards in height rushed down under the violent currents and appeared right in front of the oasis, which was at the back of Qin Mu.
Qin Mu immediately got shrouded by the shadow, and he hurriedly looked back only to see numerous ice chunks squeezing each other as they rolled up towards the pinnacle of the ice mountain before rolling back down again into the river. New ice chunks would be sent up to the pinnacle of the ice mountain again before rolling down.
With the ice tide crushing everything in its path, the corpses on the ice were shattered into pieces that could not be found anymore. The only thing left was the rolling ice mountain that surging forwards, crushing everything in its momentum!
”Tut—!”
The copper Buddha also seemed to realize the imminent danger and couldn't care more about Qin Mu as it stretched open his arms to face the rolling ice tide, trying to push it back.
Bang—!
The surrounding of the oasis formed a huge golden bell from rays of light which enveloped the entire oasis!
Numerous ice chunks collided onto the golden bell and created loud banging sounds as they shattered from the tremors. Every floating ice that collided onto the golden bell would cause ripples of golden light to spread out. From Qin Mu's angle, it was a splendid and magnificent sight.
Following it, the ice tide collided, causing sounds like the booming of thunder, deafening the ears. In midst of the noise, the bell rings of the golden bell could also be heard!
The power of nature against the Buddhism divine art of the copper Buddha was world-shaking. Even the oasis swayed from the vibrations and seemed like it could sink into the water any moment.
The ice tide was blocked by the oasis and the golden bell, and this caused it to grow taller and taller. The ice tide at both sides had already continued to flow downstream through the sides of the oasis. Only the place which was blocked by the oasis had accumulated more and more floating ices. Gradually, the ice tide had the trend to flow over the oasis.
Rattle—
The chains shook as they flew towards Qin Mu. This copper Buddha actually had energy left over to control the chains like spirit snakes to chase relentlessly after him.
At the same time, the copper Buddha moved and gave off sonorous sounds of metal colliding as it palms struck continuously on the walls of the golden bells to reinforce it.
The chains were coiled around on its body and flew around continuously with its movement as they attacked Qin Mu. Meanwhile, Woman Wu who was in the form of the little girl, Xian Qing'er, staggered from the pull of the chains and suddenly tripped, causing its face to become badly battered from being dragged around miserably.
Qin Mu stepped on the chain and immediately felt that the great Buddha's strength had diminished quite a lot and wasn't as terrifying as before. He took the chance to cut down and break the last chain with a loud clank while using Junior Protector Sword.
Woman Wu was stunned and couldn't refrain from being astonished and delighted as it lifted its arms to see the two golden loops around its wrists along with the broken chains.
There were also golden loops around its ankles which were dragging two broken chains.
”Stop daydreaming and move quickly!” Qin Mu shouted loudly as he flew over.
Woman Wu laughed loudly and its body suddenly bulged rapidly. Xian Qing'er's skin burst apart randomly and revealed its true body which was covered with bones. With its hundred feet dancing in the breeze, it shouted, ”Little brother, jump onto my body and I'll bring you out of here!”
Qin Mu landed on its body. The body of this great demon was covered in bone armor as it barged forward towards the back of the oasis while dragging the golden loops and chains. Its legs moved very fast and soon rose up into the air. The hundred feet under its long body moved in unison as it broke through the air and charged towards the wall of the golden bell!
”Evil creature, you're my merit and you still think of running away?”
The copper Buddha turned around and its brass hand grabbed onto the void. The golden loops and chain on Woman Wu's body rattled and started to fly backward. Meanwhile, the chains on the copper Buddha's body also flew up by themselves as if they wanted to reconnect back with the broken chains.
Woman Wu's blood ran cold. It fell down from the pull of the chains on its body. The strength coming from the chains on its legs grew greater and actually pulled her backward continuously.
Using all the strength in her hundred feet, it tried its best to crawl forward but couldn't help being dragged back.
Qin Mu was planning on using qi to manipulate his sword to cut off the golden loops on Woman Wu's limbs when suddenly, an extremely fine ray of light flashed by and broke open the golden bell before passing between the copper Buddha's eyes.
The copper Buddha howled and its palm grabbed towards the front of its eyes. Woman Wu suddenly felt its body becoming light and immediately took to its heels to run. With a few steps, it rose into the air and rushed out from the area which was enveloped by the golden bell, vanishing on the river surface.
Behind them, the copper Buddha howled continuously. Suddenly the golden bell crumbled and mountain like ice tide came crashing down, burying the oasis along with the copper Buddha. The ancient temple was also shattered in that instant. The entire oasis was flattened!
”You and I have always minded our own business…”
The copper Buddha was furious. But before it could finish its words, it was pushed down into the river by the ice tide along with the oasis!
