Chapter 187: Supernatural Power: The Free and Easy Seal
Despite his inner turmoil, Kumārajīva remained calm and composed, offering no rebuttal or attack on Huang Rong. Instead, he manipulated his flaming blade to attack Li Ping.
Li Ping stopped rushing to approach Kumārajīva, used the Nine Heavens Rainbow Robe technique, and flew upwards step by step.
The Flame Blade, unable to pursue any longer, dissipated into the air!
Sure enough, if it's martial arts, his flaming blade has an attack range.
But does such martial arts really exist in this world?
This version is way ahead of its time!
Huang Rong knew that Kumārajīva was going to challenge Li Ping, so she naturally made plenty of preparations: "I have heard the story of this high monk when he was young. It is said that when he was seven years old, his mother took him on a trip."
"I saw a huge bell weighing thousands of kilograms in the ancient temple, and a group of children were playing there."
He walked over and simply lifted the bell up.
The children were stunned and asked him how he had such strength, and he came to his senses and said, "How can I have such strength?"
"Then the bell fell to the ground."
He wanted to lift the bell again, but he could no longer.
"I think his supernatural ability is probably similar to the story of his childhood. As long as he believes that his flaming blade can do this, he can do it."
"But as long as he stops believing..."
Supernatural powers are related to personal traits, and Huang Rong's guess was not without reason.
Kumārajīva closed his eyes, then opened them again to look at Emperor Zhengde with murderous intent. He then clapped his hands together, shattering his eardrums, and charged towards Emperor Zhengde.
His supernatural power, "Free and Easy Seal," possesses miraculous strength.
If you believe in yourself, you can do it.
When he faced the Golden Wheel Monk before, he saw that the Golden Wheel Monk's "Dragon Elephant" supernatural powers were invincible.
He believed at the time that his power was superior to that of the Golden Wheel Monk, so he defeated the Golden Wheel Monk in one move.
When he first faced Li Ping, he believed that his Flame Blade could reach such a level, reaching a level that seemed like a miracle.
Of course, his "free and easy seal" is not limitless; reaching the level just now is already the limit.
But the important thing is to believe in yourself.
However, it is easy to make others believe in miracles, but it is too difficult to make those who know the truth believe in them!
Once he himself stops believing, then what he just believed no longer exists.
That's why he rarely makes a move, and he can't afford to be entangled with Li Ping. The longer it goes on, the harder it becomes for him to believe that his Flame Blade can achieve such a level of power.
Just like when he was a child, he lifted up that big bell.
That's why he slapped his own ears to make them deaf, because the more Huang Rong said, the faster his "belief" wavered!
Whizzing……
The three black ropes coiled towards Kumārajīva, as if transforming into three black pythons, bringing with them a howling wind.
The three Shaolin monks immediately took action, forming the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation while chanting the Shurangama Mantra.
Kumārajīva's actions just now have confirmed that Huang Rong's words were true, which is why the Three Elders acted this way.
The Shurangama Mantra, also known as the Great Buddha's Crown Shurangama Mantra.
The teachings on the five aggregates and the four pure and clear instructions can sever the root of mental demons, destroy heavenly demons and yin demons, cause ghosts and spirits to retreat, prevent the birth of evil spirits and goblins, and protect spiritual practice from evil disturbances.
Your martial arts can ignite our inner demons, ignite our greed, anger, and ignorance?
Then we will respond with the Shurangama Mantra.
We're all monks, who doesn't understand?
In the sky, Li Ping turned and swooped down like an eagle towards Kumārajīva.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves rang out in the distance. Yang Tinghe and other ministers, having received the news, had rushed over regardless of the danger, only to be stunned by what they saw.
They naturally had some knowledge of martial arts, and their guards and protectors were all skilled in martial arts, including many experts.
They never imagined that martial arts could be this powerful.
At this moment, Kumārajīva struck again, bringing his palms together and unleashing the Flaming Blade once more, which transformed into fine streams of fire, blooming like golden lotuses.
The adults were dumbfounded!
Is this the Buddha descending to earth?
The Vajra Subduing Demon Circle of the Three Crossings could not stop them at all; flames instantly ignited within their bodies, turning them into three fire figures.
Even though they were well-versed in Buddhist teachings and chanted the Shurangama Mantra, the anger and hatred in their hearts could not be completely eradicated.
After all, the three of them had been in seclusion for many years, all for the purpose of killing Yang Dingtian.
After so many years, how could it be enough to just recite a few incantations?
More tiny flames shot towards Li Ping in the sky, while others rushed towards the distant emperor.
Just then, Li Chenzhou roared, raised his hand, clenched his fist, lowered his waist and sat down, unleashing countless punches in an instant.
The boundless force of the fist seemed to transform into an impenetrable wall, crashing into those flaming blades.
Since it's martial arts, there's no reason why the force of a punch shouldn't be able to stop it!
The next moment, his expression changed again!
Because his fist force shattered instantly upon encountering those flowing fires.
He was prepared to stand in front of the emperor with his body. The emperor trusted him greatly and regarded him as a friend. He could not possibly watch the emperor die in front of him like this.
More importantly, if the emperor were to die like this, the world would be in big trouble!
But those tiny flames grew fainter and fainter until they finally vanished without a trace when they reached him.
The distance was still too far, and Li Chenzhou's punches were strong, so he finally managed to destroy this part of the Flame Blade!
Li Ping in the sky didn't dodge at all this time, letting the endless, tiny flame blades slash at his body, turning him into a man of fire.
He fell freely using gravity, then time reversed, the sword was drawn, and this time the endless sword light finally enveloped Kumārajīva.
Kumārajīva clasped his hands together again and unleashed the Flaming Blade.
But this time, there was no grand scene of flames filling the sky as before.
He could no longer believe he could do such a thing!
Amidst the clash of Bobo's true energy, Li Ping's sword energy tore through his flaming blade, then landed in front of him, sheathing the sword.
Kumārajīva sighed and slumped to the ground: "My life has been like polishing a brick to find a mirror. After I woke up, I clung to the idea of 'saving all living beings,' and was trapped in ignorance."
"Now I realize that the suffering and joy of all beings arise from causes and conditions, and that the concepts of self and sentient beings are inherently illusory."
"This body will perish, just like dew falling and lightning flashing. I only wish to let go of my attachments. When I have a moment of enlightenment, all worldly troubles will vanish."
These words startled Zhu Houzhao, after all, he had once conferred the title of Buddha upon himself, he was well-versed in Buddhist teachings, and he was about to die, so he had a deep understanding of them.
Although the ministers did not understand what had happened, most of them were familiar with Buddhism, since Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism are all one family. They were deeply moved and felt that the person in front of them was a truly virtuous and eminent monk.
But Li Ping scoffed, "Bullshit."
He smashed Kumārajīva's head to pieces with a single blow: "A bandit who came here to be a robber, and he's even trying to save the world..."
He was still shaken; today was truly a close call!
If Rong'er hadn't seen through the truth of Kumārajīva's supernatural powers, I probably would have already run away.
Fortunately, Kumārajīva was weak enough. If he were as strong as Yingyuan, able to do whatever he wanted, and believe that the spring water was hot just by thinking about it, how powerful would his supernatural abilities be?
Sure enough, anything related to supernatural powers is bound to be powerful!
Even if it were the Golden Wheel Monk's "Dragon Elephant," whether his punches could hit or not, I doubt even Pang Ban before the Battle of Lanjiang could withstand them head-on.
Only then did endless cheers erupt in the stadium!
"Master Li, you are invincible!"
"Miss Huang, your insight is truly remarkable!"
"Master Li's words are well said! These stinking Tartars clearly wanted to invade the south or assassinate the emperor. Even in death, they try to act like high monks. Bah!"
"Well done! Well done!"
As for the death of Sandu, no one cared for a while!
Just then, Zhu Houzhao stood up, looked at Yang Tinghe and his entourage of ministers, and laughed loudly, "You gentlemen have arrived."
"Today, Minister Li fought a great battle against the Tatar delegation, demonstrating our national prestige and boosting our morale."
The ministers were all taken aback, because the news they had heard said that the emperor was critically ill, but looking at him, there was no sign of him being critically ill at all.
Could the emperor be joking with us? This is too absurd!
