Chapter 218: Killing Character Kasaya
Chapter 218: Killing Character Kasaya
“Hehe, you couldn’t fool me, so you resort to force. Is this… your Heavenly Zen Sect’s great compassion?”
Facing the pressure from the two attendants, Mu Feng sneered coldly and stood tall.
He stomped his foot, and another giant bloody wheel appeared beneath him. A fierce blood-red armor materialized on his body, radiating intense blood energy that resisted the pressure from the two attendants.
Master Tianyin and his companions were powerful. Just these two young attendants were already so formidable, let alone Master Tianyin who had cultivated for untold years. However, no matter how strong the three of them were, Mu Feng secretly vowed that today, he would definitely kill that bald donkey Jingxu!
As a Great Blood-Refining Sorcerer, he embarked on the Way through Slaughter, carrying the Dao via Blood. He could not tolerate even a speck of dust in his eyes.
Today, he said he would kill the bald donkey Jingxu, and he absolutely would not allow him to live until tomorrow! He would never let him cling to life, only to cause more trouble and stir up chaos later!
“Lantern Holder, Scripture Bearer, both of you, step back!”
Just as a great battle was about to break out, Master Tianyin ordered the two attendants to retreat. He looked at Mu Feng with interest, glanced at the blood wheel beneath his feet and the blood armor on his body, and seemed thoughtful. “I never expected you, benefactor, to have such profound knowledge of Buddhist teachings. You were born with Buddhist roots. It is truly a pity that you did not join our Buddhist Sect. May I ask, benefactor, how should I address you?”
Faced with Mu Feng’s rudeness, Lantern Holder and Scripture Bearer were furious, but Master Tianyin remained calm. He was not angry or enraged. Sensing the scorching, turbulent blood energy within Mu Feng, he only felt a slight puzzlement.
“Jianning Scholar, Mu Feng!”
Mu Feng bowed slightly, not changing his surname or name, honest and straightforward. Seeing the two attendants retreat and stand down, he had a thought, and the blood wheel and blood armor radiating with blood light quickly vanished.
“Good, good. You indeed carry the aura of a scholar, possessing the integrity of an educated man!”
Master Tianyin nodded, looked Mu Feng over again, his eyes showing a bit more appreciation. He paused, then asked, “Benefactor, you are neither haughty nor humble, and your speech is refined. You must come from a prominent family. May I ask, what is your relationship with Mu Zhenren of the Jianning Mu Family Manor?”
Mu Zhenren?
In Mu Feng’s heart, he quickly recalled the blind Family Patriarch who steadfastly adhered to the merciless Great Dao. After a moment’s hesitation, he said vaguely, “He is a senior of mine.”
“Good, good. I understand!”
Master Tianyin nodded, his gaze profound, as if he had seen through Mu Feng’s hesitation with a single glance.
He shook his head, sighed, and then continued, “Buddhist teachings are compassionate. Those who have left the household should cherish compassion and cannot stand by when lives are at risk. However, Young Master Mu, you also have a point. My unworthy disciple Jingxu has committed grave sins. In the past, he secretly learned the forbidden technique Great Bliss Meditation, escaped from the mountain gate, and went into the mortal world to commit evil deeds. He deserves his punishment. I have failed in my guidance. Over the years, I have been in secluded meditation and did not intervene in time to stop him. I am already heavily burdened with sin and have no face to take him back to the Heavenly Zen Sect. Young master, your Buddhist roots are exceptional, and you have a connection with our Buddha. Before I leave, how about I give you a character?”
“Oh, what character?” Mu Feng was somewhat surprised.
Master Tianyin smiled but did not speak. He took off his kasaya. Without any visible action, the kasaya in his hand quickly shrank to the size of a palm. He took a green candle from the lantern in Lantern Holder’s hand. Using the kasaya as paper and the green candle wax as a brush, he wrote a large character: ‘Kill.’
“Killing is not killing, not killing is killing! If you have time in the future, young master, you might want to look at this character more.”
Master Tianyin handed the small kasaya to Mu Feng, laughed heartily, and with a sweep of his wide sleeves, he left with Lantern Holder and Scripture Bearer. Even the Heavenly Zen Wheel that had fallen on the ground vanished as well. Inside the secret room, only Jingxu, unable to move, remained.
“No… Master, save me, save me…”
Looking at the suddenly empty secret room, Monk Jingxu let out a desperate, hoarse scream.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
The moment Master Tianyin appeared, he had been thrilled, seeing hope for escape and even for his injuries to be healed.
No matter how powerful Mu Feng, this slaughter god, was, he was just a small Mortal Realm cultivator. How could he possibly resist a Heavenly Zen Sect elder?
The answer was obvious: absolutely impossible!
Monk Jingxu had guessed the beginning, but he had not expected the ending.
His master had appeared with two attendants at the critical moment but did not take him away, leaving him motionless to face Mu Feng, this slaughter god, directly!
From start to finish, Mu Feng did not even need to strike a blow to achieve victory!
“Don’t kill me, Young Master Mu, no, Master, I beg you, don’t kill me…”
Jingxu, who had fallen from the clouds to the ground in an instant, pleaded bitterly again. “As long as you spare me, I can serve you for generations, be your most loyal servant! Young Master Mu, I beg you, don’t kill me. I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die…”
To stay alive, Monk Jingxu abandoned his dignity and was willing to pay any price.
After cultivating bitterly for over a hundred years, he was only a tiny step away from breaking through to the second level of Great Bliss Meditation. If he could break through smoothly, he could reverse his fate once and reshape his golden body. Then, he would be the Great Bliss Buddha’s emissary in the human world, and all the beautiful women in the Great Thousand World would be his cauldrons.
He was on the verge of a breakthrough, yet he was about to die at Mu Feng’s hands. He could not accept it, he truly could not accept it!
“If you knew it would come to this, why did you do it in the first place!”
Looking at Jingxu, who was begging bitterly and crying in agony, Mu Feng shook his head. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he fiercely swung down the heavy sword in his hand.
Thud…
After a dull sound, the world fell silent.
The evil Monk Jingxu did not die with his eyes wide open, because he could no longer see. His eyes, nose, mouth, and ears were all smashed into pulp along with his skull. In life, he had committed grave sins and defiled countless virtuous women. In death, he did not even have a whole corpse!
His heart was like a rock!
Mu Feng would not easily strike those who did not deserve to die; but for those who deserved death ten thousand times over, no matter how pitiful they seemed, he remained unwavering, without a shred of sympathy!
Sympathy for the wicked was an offense against the good, even a massacre!
His journey to the Poison Sect had made him more mature and his will even firmer!
Hah…
After cleanly and decisively killing that old bald donkey Jingxu, Mu Feng let out a fierce shout and reached out, grabbing at the air. Jingxu’s body quickly withered, and at the same time, a blood pearl glowing with blood light appeared in his hand. A cold wind blew, and a small booklet fell from Jingxu’s dried-up body. Picking it up, he saw a few sloppily written large characters on the cover: ‘Great Bliss Meditation.’
The handwriting was messy, and the paper was yellowed. It seemed to be a copy that the old bald donkey Jingxu had secretly made before fleeing the Heavenly Zen Sect. Mu Feng opened it and saw that it was filled with indecent images, with arrows drawn on the bodies of men and women. Below the images, corresponding mental techniques were recorded.
“Great Bliss Meditation?”
Mu Feng muttered to himself. He was just about to burn this evil cultivation manual when suddenly, he faintly heard several shouts from above the ground, as if someone was approaching. After a moment’s thought, he quickly hid the blood pearl and the booklet close to his body, then rushed out with the Black Inscription Heavy Sword in hand.
