I Have a Sword

Ci Tian's fleshly body erupted into flames.

Ci Tian was a bandit before he was a monk, and his fierce nature remained despite converting to Buddhism. Could Ci Tian really endure such a humiliation?

Ci Tian's aura surged wildly, and a wave of golden light erupted from within him. He stepped forward and flipped his right hand before pushing it down. "Great Buddha Grip!"

Boom!

The spacetime above the lady in a blood-red robe shattered, and a massive Buddha hand emerged from the rift, descending toward her with ferocity.

The lady in a blood-red robe remained calm. She raised her hand and swung her saber casually.

A blood-red saber energy sliced through the air, shattering the giant Buddha hand!

"Invulnerable Diamond!" Ci Tian's voice echoed once again.

Under everyone's gaze, a golden Buddhist light descended and poured into Ci Tian, creating a layer of golden armor around his figure.

Just then, the lady in a blood-red robe transformed into a streak of blood-red light and appeared above Ci Tian. A blood-red saber slashed down at his head.

Ci Tian pressed his hands together, and he stood steadfast, seemingly as immovable as a mountain.

Bang!

The blood-red saber struck Ci Tian's head, and a violent tremor ran across him. At the same time, a myriad of Buddhist lights erupted from him.

Ci Tian managed to withstand the attack!

However, the lady in a blood-red robe wasn't done yet, and she swung her saber again.

Bang!

Ci Tian was sent flying tens of thousands of meters away. As soon as he stopped, countless rays of Buddhist light erupted from him, sweeping across the nearby star field.

Ci Tian's figure had become golden all throughout, making him look like a beacon of golden light in the darkness of the starry sky.

Just then, the lady in a blood-red robe disappeared from where she was standing.

Ci Tian's pupils constricted, but before he could react, dozens of blood-red saber energy slashed at him from all directions.

Ci Tian was forced to retreat, and a wave of Buddhist light would erupt from him with each step he took backward.

Eventually, the Buddhist light around him dimmed considerably, and the golden armor was covered in cracks, oozing with blood.

Bang!

The lady in a blood-red robe took to the sky and delivered a cataclysmic strike, sending Ci Tian flying ten thousand meters away.

Ci Tian's golden armor could no longer withstand the attacks, and it shattered completely.

Ci Tian coughed up several mouthfuls of blood and then looked at the lady in a blood-red robe in the distance.

"Is that all you've got?" Ci Tian said before spitting more blood.

Everyone was stunned.

The lady in a blood-red robe took out a sugarcane and chewed on it before saying, "You have the toughest mouth I've ever seen!"

Ci Tian wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth and then turned to Dao Jun. "I've drained thirty percent of her spiritual energy; the rest is up to you."

The lady in a blood-red robe before them wasn't her true self but was just a phantom image; phantom images required spiritual energy to maintain.

Dao Jun asked solemnly, "Can you hold on a bit longer?"

"I don't even have a body anymore!" Ci Tian roared in fury. Indeed, he no longer had a fleshly body. At this rate, he'd have to burn his soul to continue fighting.

Dao Jun stared at the lady in a blood-red robe, and then he shook his head. "We can't hold her back. We need to retreat to the Great Zhou."

"Your Highness, leave," Dao Jun said to Zhou Fan, "The monk and I will stop her here."

Ci Tian trembled and roared, "You have to leave as well, you old dog! We can't stop her here!"

Ci Tian had never been able to retaliate against the lady in a blood-red robe, but it wasn't because he didn't want to attack. He simply couldn't attack her; she was too strong for him to retaliate.

However, Zhou Fan shook her head. "None of us can leave."

Dao Jun was taken aback.

"You're clever..." said the lady in a blood-red robe with a grin. She then turned to Ci Tian. "Unlike this bald donkey… I've never seen anyone as stupid as him."

Everyone was speechless.

Ci Tian's face turned extremely ugly. His anger surged, and he almost ignited his own soul out of fury, but he forced himself to calm down.

After all, he truly couldn't beat her!

Zhou Fan asked, "Your Excellency, why is the Evil Dao Alliance targeting Young Master Ye?"

The lady in a blood-red robe took a bite of her sugarcane and replied, "I only care about killing. Nothing else."

Zhou Fan nodded slightly and then turned to look at Ci Tian.

Seeing Zhou Fan's gaze, Ci Tian's heart skipped a beat. He truly felt like pretending to be dead so that he wouldn't be forced to make another move.

Zhou Fan couldn't help but find Ci Tian to be a bit pitiful in his soul form, so she hesitated for a while before asking, "Master, could you hold on just one last time?"

Ci Tian was speechless, but then he noticed Dao Jun and found that the latter had been surreptitiously conjuring symbols with his palm.

After a moment of silence, Ci Tian nodded slightly.

The lady in a blood-red robe looked at Dao Jun and Ci Tian with amusement as she leisurely chewed on her sugarcane.

Ci Tian took a deep breath and stepped forward. He opened his palm, and a Buddhist seal appeared in his hand.

The Fantian Buddha Seal!

This was the most powerful divine artifact of the Fantian Temple, containing the Buddhist teachings and Laws of the Fantian Temple's abbots. It was the temple's sacred artifact.

Ci Tian looked at Ye Guan in Zhou Fan's arms and remained silent. He had never wanted to get involved in this mess from the start, as it had nothing to do with Fantian Temple.

Moreover, the strength of the Evil Dao Alliance had far exceeded his expectations.

But there was no other way...

The Great Zhou had decided to gamble, so the Dao Clan had to gamble with them!

If they had refused to take the gamble, they'd surely be abandoned in the future.

Ci Tian muttered, "I hope Young Master Ye really is from a Tier Five civilization. Otherwise, I'll lose even my underwear..."

With that, he opened his palm, and the Fantian Buddha Seal in his hand floated into the air. In an instant, flames of Buddhist light burst forth from the seal and aged incantations echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

A Buddhist scripture pervaded the star field!

The lady in a blood-red robe remained calm, still chewing on her sugarcane.

Ci Tian glared at the lady in a blood-red robe and said coldly, "Demon, face your death."

Boom!

A terrifying wave of fiery Buddhist light swept toward the lady in a blood-red robe.

Boom!

The nearby stars erupted into flames.

Meanwhile, the lady in a blood-red robe stepped forward and slashed out with her blood-red saber.

It was just a simple slash, but the fiery Buddhist light was cut in half.

However, another wave of fiery Buddhist light swept toward her.

The lady in a blood-red robe slashed out once again!

Boom!

The fiery Buddhist light shattered once more!

And just like that, the lady in a blood-red robe moved closer and closer to the Fantian Buddha Seal. She'd swing her saber with each step, and a wave of fiery Buddhist light would be destroyed in each slash.

She was doing it so effortlessly!

Dao Jun and the others grew incredibly solemn at the sight.

They realized that they had greatly underestimated the strength of the lady in a blood-red robe.

She truly was toying with them like a cat toying with a mouse!

Zhou Fan clenched her right hand, and her thoughts were inscrutable as she stared intently at the lady in a blood-red robe lady in the distance.

Ci Tian's face was extremely grim. He hadn't expected this lady's strength to be so terrifying that even the Fantian Buddha Seal couldn't affect her at all.

A true monster!

The lady in a blood-red robe lady looked at Ci Tian. She spat out a piece of sugarcane and said, "Bald monk, got any more tricks?"

Ci Tian put his hands together and roared, "I beseech the ancestors!"

Boom!

The Fantian Buddha Seal trembled violently, and twelve golden phantoms erupted from it. Each golden phantom had their hands together, and they were chanting an ancient and mysterious incantation.

Rumble!

Buddhist lights and symbols manifested, and a massive beam of golden light erupted from them.

The massive beam of golden light headed straight for the lady in a blood-red robe.

The lady in a blood-red robe's expression remained as calm as ever. She raised her hand and slashed down with her saber.

It was just an ordinary slash, but...

Boom!

The massive beam of golden Buddhist light shattered beneath it.

Just then, one of the golden phantoms suddenly stepped forward and pointed with their finger.

Boom!

A colossal golden finger flew straight to the crown of the lady in a blood-red robe's head.

The lady in a blood-red robe raised her hand and slashed out with her saber.

Bang!

The colossal golden finger shattered, exploding into countless fragments of Buddhist light.

The golden shadow stepped forward again, and a golden lotus loomed beneath his feet. He put his hands together and bowed slightly. "The Buddha Bows His Head!"

Boom!

A golden Buddha statue suddenly appeared before the lady in a blood-red robe, and it bowed.

An endless wave of divine Buddhist lights erupted and pressed down on the lady in a blood-red robe.

The lady in a blood-red robe's eyes narrowed slightly. She twisted her wrist and slashed horizontally with her saber, sending out a ten-thousand-meter-long saber energy.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion echoed, deafening everyone. A kaleidoscope of saber lights and Buddhist lights manifested and collided, resulting in a cataclysmic explosion!

The lady in a blood-red robe was blasted several hundred meters away!

This was the first time she was sent flying since the battle began, but her expression remained calm. She glanced at the golden phantom and smiled before chewing on her sugarcane.

Zhou Fan looked at the golden phantom and asked, "Master Ci Tian, is that the second patriarch of the Fantian Temple?"

Ci Tian nodded, "Indeed."

Zhou Fan whispered, "So strong."

The second patriarch of the Fantian Temple was a renowned and unparalleled powerhouse.

Ci Tian looked at the lady in a blood-red robe with an extremely grave expression. Her strength had far exceeded his expectations. He had used all of his trump cards, but he still couldn't deal with her.

Zhou Fan glanced at the lady in a blood-red robe as well and turned to look at Dao Jun.

Dao Jun nodded slightly and said, "It's ready to go."

Just as Zhou Fan was about to speak, the lady in a blood-red robe in the distance spat out the final bits of her sugarcane. Then, she transformed into a beam of saber light that shot into the sky. She raised her saber up high with both hands and slashed down fiercely.

Rumble!

A saber energy tens of thousands of meters long tore through the battlefield.

The golden phantom put its hands together and chanted a Buddhist incantation.

A golden Buddha statue appeared behind it with its hands clasped together, and the statue protected the golden phantom in its arms.

The saber energy landed.

Boom!

The golden Buddha statue trembled violently and cracked open.

The lady in a blood-red robe slashed down with her saber once again.

Bang!

The golden Buddha statue shattered into countless pieces, scattering in all directions.

The lady in a blood-red robe slashed down once again.

The golden phantom spread its arms, unleashing a multitude of Buddhist lights.

Boom...

The Buddhist lights shattered the lady in a blood-red robe saber energy and forced her to retreat a thousand meters away.

Meanwhile, the golden phantom had vanished.

Zhou Fan's face darkened at the sight.

The lady in a blood-red robe stretched her neck and looked up at Dao Jun in the distance.

"Are you ready?" she asked with a smile.

Dao Jun's brows were furrowed. Then, his pupils constricted in horror upon realizing something. "Y-y-you've been stalling for time, too..."

"Wait!" Dao Jun exclaimed, "Your true body is coming?!"

BOOM!

Destructive waves of energy erupted from the edge of the starry sky; a powerful expert was coming.

The faces of Dao Jun and the others turned deathly pale.
