Chapter 57 Flowing Sand River - Flying Sword Piercing the Heart
Li Fa was being held up by two strongmen, unable to move, but his mind was racing.
Since his transmigration, he has always had smooth sailing, even defeating a demon king like the Yellow Wind Monster.
Even when Guanyin of the South Sea personally appeared, with great compassion and mercy to save people from suffering, she could not subdue him.
Who would have thought that bumping into this wooden fork bastard would lead to my downfall on this tattered rope?
If they were really taken to Mount Putuo and met Guanyin Bodhisattva, what would happen?
The Bodhisattva had long intended to take him as the mountain god of Mount Putuo. If he went there, wouldn't he be able to settle down on the mountain, register his household, and become a gatekeeper for generations to come?
How can this be allowed!
His mind raced, and suddenly, as if struck by lightning, he remembered something—
He hadn't yet claimed the reward from the merit record after saving Sha Wujing.
I was so focused on fighting the wooden fork that I completely forgot about this part.
At this critical moment of life and death, he quickly calmed himself down and went to examine the catalog.
Sure enough, there were words on the catalog:
[Optional Reward 1: Three Jiazi of Mana from the "Creating Heaven and Earth Technique"]
[Optional Reward Two: Flying Sword Piercing the Heart (Supernatural Power)]
[Optional Reward 3: Demon-Subduing Staff Technique (Martial Arts)]
He hadn't looked closely at the time, but now, upon closer inspection, he noticed a line of smaller characters written below, clearly stating:
Note: The Flying Sword Piercing the Heart is a divine power of the primordial spirit, which does not rely on external objects and is not bound by the physical body.
After reading it, Li Fa was overjoyed. It was indeed true:
The mountains and rivers seem to block the way, but then a village appears amidst the willows and flowers!
Regardless of physical form!
These four words were his lifeline!
Even if he is bound into a cocoon, even if he is pressed under the Five Elements Mountain, as long as his primordial spirit can still move, he can use this supernatural power!
Without further hesitation, Li Fa's mind sank, and he locked onto the second option.
[Flying sword pierces the heart, confirm receipt.]
In an instant, he felt a sudden tremor in his brow, as if something had burst forth from the ground.
That was a sword intent.
Formless and without substance, yet incomparably sharp.
It was conceived and born from his primordial spirit, and was in perfect harmony with his mind, as if it were his own arm.
Li Fa realized in his heart: the flying sword piercing his heart was not a real flying sword, but a pure primordial spirit sword intent that specifically targets the primordial spirit and breaks through the Niwan point.
That's a really clever and underhanded tactic!
Even if you have a strong physical body, you can't stop this sword.
Because it doesn't harm the physical body at all, it only destroys the primordial spirit. It doesn't matter if you have an invincible body or an iron will, it will bypass everything!
For beings like the monkey and Yang Jian, whose physical bodies and primordial spirits are indestructible, this supernatural power might not be so effective.
But what about the wooden fork?
Hey!
Li Faqiang suppressed his inner elation and remained calm, letting the two strongmen carry him forward.
Above the clouds, Moksha stood with his hands behind his back, pondering how to report to the Bodhisattva after returning to the mountain.
This fellow dares to stir up trouble in the Liusha River and even dares to use magic to simulate the appearance of a Bodhisattva. He is simply audacious.
Just as I was pondering this, I suddenly heard a muffled groan behind me.
Mucha suddenly turned around and saw that the two Yellow Turban warriors who were holding Li Fa were frozen in place.
Their expressions hardened, and the light in their eyes dimmed rapidly.
Then, the two towering figures fell straight backward.
Moksha's pupils suddenly contracted.
A sudden sense of panic arose inexplicably in my heart.
Having seen all sorts of methods, he recognized it at a glance as a technique of killing with one's primordial spirit.
He had seen similar techniques of killing with his primordial spirit during the Investiture of the Gods, but those were mostly performed with the help of magical treasures, such as Lu Ya's Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife and Jiang Ziya's God-Slaying Whip.
But this guy in front of me actually performed it out of thin air, without relying on any external objects!
This child is terrifying!
The thought had barely formed when a glint of sword light shot towards him.
The sword light was as fine as a hair and as fast as lightning, aiming straight for his brow and the Niwan Palace!
Good wooden fork!
He was a seasoned veteran, and he recognized at a glance that this was the same primordial spirit killing technique that Li Fa had just used.
However, he was so shocked by the deaths of the two strongmen that he was momentarily distracted. At that moment, the sword light was already in front of him, and he had no time to dodge.
He only had time to shrink his primordial spirit sharply before taking the full force of the sword strike!
"puff!"
Mokcha let out a muffled groan, his body trembled violently, and his face instantly turned ashen.
The sword pierced straight into his Niwan point, striking his primordial spirit. Fortunately, he had achieved physical sainthood and cultivated for many years, resulting in a much closer unity between his physical body and primordial spirit than that of ordinary immortals.
Otherwise, even if this sword doesn't kill him, it will still seriously injure him!
Even so, his primordial spirit was injured, and he was also somewhat wounded, with blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
With his injury, the Rainbow Rope lost its magical power and naturally slipped down.
Ignoring his injuries, Mu Cha quickly made a hand seal to recall the Rainbow Rope. This rope was a priceless treasure and must not fall into the hands of others.
On the other side, Li Fa also felt a sense of lightness throughout his body, so he took the opportunity to reach out and make a move. The Hunyuan Spear flew back from not far away and landed steadily in his palm.
He was about to raise his gun to fight again when he saw Muzha suddenly open his mouth—
"call!"
A flame suddenly shot out from his mouth. This was no ordinary fire; it was the Samadhi True Fire that Moksha had tried to unleash but failed.
The fire, like a giant wave, swept straight towards Li Fa!
Li Fa was greatly alarmed.
Although he possessed an indestructible body, impervious to swords and blades, this Samadhi True Fire was no ordinary weapon. While it could not burn him to death, it could trap him within it!
In his desperation, he suddenly remembered something—
A water-spilled bowl!
It also contains a pillar of water from the Milky Way that was collected from Pigsy!
Without a second thought, he flipped his hand, produced the alms bowl, and, aiming it at the oncoming Samadhi Fire, poured it out sharply—
"Whoosh—"
A jet of water poured out of the bowl; the water was clear and vast, it was the water of the Milky Way!
Water and fire clashing!
The Samadhi Fire collided with the Heavenly River Water, instantly producing a deafening roar!
White mist rose up and instantly spread, covering the clouds for miles around.
The fog was extremely thick, so thick that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Not to mention seeing with your eyes, even your primordial spirit was obscured.
Li Fa stood with his gun, focused and ready, waiting for Mu Cha to emerge from the mist.
However, after waiting for a while, there was no movement in the fog.
After waiting a while longer, the fog gradually dissipated.
Above the clouds, there was nothing.
Where can you find the wooden fork?
Li Fa paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.
That wooden fork is quite decisive.
His primordial spirit was injured, and his magical treasure was almost taken away. Knowing that he would not be able to gain the upper hand in another battle, he simply took advantage of the thick fog rising from the water and fire to escape.
At this moment, Li Fa finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
Although the Rainbow Rope was taken away, some of his magical power was still locked and could not be fully restored for the time being.
This treasure is indeed powerful. I was only locked up for the time it takes for a few incense sticks to burn, and now I have less than 10% of my magic power left.
It's fine for riding the clouds, but if another fierce battle were to break out, it would probably be doomed.
Given the current situation, a full recovery will take at least three to five days.
Having made up his mind, he rode away on a cloud.
This is exactly:
Leaves fall rustling in the azure sky, a foul wind rises along the banks of the Flowing Sand River.
The Five Elements Escape Technique deceives gods and ghosts; the Vajra Indestructible One subdues the Primordial Dragon.
The rainbow binds the tiger, making it difficult for it to move; the flying sword pierces its heart, yet its spirit remains strong.
Water splashes, fire burns, clouds and mist vanish; where can one find the immortals?
After all, we don't know where Li Famucha has gone. Let's see what happens in the next unit!
