The Villain Has Something to Say

The young monk in light robe looked at the demon calmly, with a poised, delicate face. He just gazed at the demon silently, while the beautiful Fiend girl in black wiped the blood on the corner of her lips and slowly stood up.

If only Luo Jianqing of the Yu Xiao Peak could mobilize the instrument, so why did they send Fo Zi and Yun Xiang into the array?

Before he left the Chong State, Sir Huo Mingzi gazed at Luo Jianqing and told him, “You know, in extremis, someone has to sacrifice for you, for the greater cause, as only you can mobilize that instrument, and that’s the only way to break the Towering Ocean Breaking Array.”

Hearing that, all cultivators were all looking at each other in dismay and at a loss for words.

Who would be willing to court death? If they were spotted by demons, not only the doomed sacrificers, but also Luo Jianqing could be trapped in the array. Shi Rong was indeed arrogant and careless, but most demon exalts were cautious than him. It was lucky enough for Luo Jianqing to confront Shi Rong, yet the luck couldn’t save Fo Zi and Yun Xiang.

Yun Xiang was voluntary.

Only cultivators below Out-of-Body could go with Luo Jianqing. Higher realm meant they needed more power to cover their trace and pass through the array. Moreover, if the spiritual bone ago was young, the cultivator would use less power to maintain longer time.

Actually, there were three best candidates-

The Chief Disciple of the Duan Hun Sect Yan Xiao, Fo Zi Yu Chen of the Gui Yuan Sect, and the fourth disciple of the Bai’s Family Bai Ji.

However, Yun Xiang was the first one to step forward.

Qi Luo didn’t stop her, while Qin Guihe was reluctant, with his eyes getting red.

Yun Xiang threw his hand and choked him with only two sentences, “Fifty years ago, my master found me in the Yun State and brought me back to the Fiend Palace. If I just stand by and see the Fiend Palace being trapped by demons, I would rather die in that heavy snow.”

Hearing that, Fo Zi gave out a long sigh and stepped forward.

Except him, others were all silent. Yan Xiao looked away, and Bai Ji just held his spear stilly.

Then, the team of Luo Jianqing, Fo Zi and Yun Xiang was formed.

The weak wind blew down from the Chong Teng Mountain Range, snatching at Yun Xiang’s black skirt. Behind them, more demons gathered as if demons intended to besiege them. In front of them, the furious Earth-Level Demon Exalt was staring at them.

Between Fo Zi and Luo Jianqing, there was only a thin array. They looked at each other for a long time.

Fo Zi beamed and put one’s palms together devoutly, making an obeisance, “Fellow Cultivator Luo, I have known you for years. Today I have chance to help you out, that’s a sheer bliss.”

Luo Jianqing became hoarse, unable to say anything.

Fo Zi continued,

“The law of what is created

Is by nature non-eternal.

Life ended, we leave the world;

Extinction is bliss.

You and I have forged a deep Buddhist bond, so you must understand that there is no eternal law in this world. Instead, all the rules are intricate and treacherous, not set for life, nor for death. Life is death and death is life, so Fellow Cultivator Luo…why shed tears now?”

At this time, Luo Jianqing found himself crying unwittingly.

Seeing that, Yun Xiang laughed out, “You are just talking about something more complex-sounding. I am not afraid of death, but Luo Jianqing, I never expect that you should cry for me. I am interested that whether you cried for Mo Qiu on that day?”

Luo Jianqing nodded slightly.

Yun Xiang curled up her lips and smiled wildly, “It’s a pity that he couldn’t see it anymore, but I will remember it for him. When he enters the reincarnation, I will find Mo Qiu and tell him that his little beauty is good-looking even when crying, just coming next to him.”

This joke couldn’t make Luo Jianqing smile.

He could not notice anything strange in Yun Xiang words. He had come to the boundary of the array and goggled at the them, sieged by numerous demons, with the furious Sphinx demon approaching them step by step.

The Sphinx demon shouted, “Don’t expect a easy death!”

Fo Zi raised his head a little bit. As he counted his jasper Buddha beads, Fo Zi stepped forward and protected Yun Xiang, “The brave man’s mind settles as still water, as his heart and body return to dust. My name is Yu Chen, meaning returning to dust. Flying with dust, I can perceive the essence of many things. With clearest eyes, I can seize all the truths in the world. Since you are so furious, please let me bear all your anger.”

The Sphinx demon roared, “I will kill you all! I will let you die in your boots!”

Fo Zi smiled lightly, without anger or delight, “Amitabha, if you are determined to do this, I have to sacrifice myself to save others. If I don’t enter hell, who will?”

Yun Xiang was protected behind Fo Zi, baffled as she heard Fo Zi’s conversation with the Sphinx demon.

Fo Zi didn’t made a feint like Luo Jianqing. He didn’t intend to cheat the Sphinx demon, as he knew that Shi Rong wouldn’t give them another chance to escape. He just chanted the scripture as he always did in front of the Buddhist statue. He chanted each line with a smile, as if he were narrating the peace and harmony in his life.

When the Sphinx demon treaded on him, Fo Zi didn’t use hand to block. Just as the demon raised his foot, the pressure had already made Fo Zi unable to escape. He turned around and smacked Yun Xiang away, during which they exchanged a short glace. When Yun Xiang looked at him again, the demon’s huge foot had treaded on him.

Yun Xiang had already been all tears. She was recalling that genial, white face, not knowing what to do.

At the very end, the monk smiled at her. It was an extremely light smile, but it seemed to have waited for a century, travelling through tine and space, just to present the smile to her.

Fo Zi told her, “I have repaid your kindness now.”

Suddenly!

Countess scenes flashed across Yun Xiang’s mind.
