Family Cultivation: I Become a Mirror

Chapter 326 - 299 Wrathful Countenance

Li Tongya held a sword in his left hand, slanting it towards the ground, where the water on the floor tiles reflected a blue-white radiance. The white flesh on the broken tiles and rubble autonomously surged toward the center, those words spat out by the mouth changed Li Tongya’s calm expression to one of uneasy loathing.

The rising flesh had already condensed into Fa Hui’s head, and with the slow possession of Furious Moha, his face grew more handsome, the gold in his eyes ever more intense. The handsome face became delicate and smooth, the deep gold eyes staring fixedly into Li Tongya’s, he shouted in anger,

"Avoid partiality!"

"You are avoiding partiality, you feel guilty towards your father and brothers, hence the honored one’s deceased brother lifts up the orphan in his stead, but the cost is mine to bear, Li Tongya! How innocent I am!"

"Shut up!"

Li Tongya’s voice exploded like thunder, his lips turned white, slightly trembling, the longsword in his hand emitted a shrill whistling sound, like the roar of a dragon chant, causing birds and insects throughout the entire Bianyan Mountain to stop their chirping, bringing a stillness to the world.

"Buzz──"

Blue-white Sword Radiance gushed forth, crystal clear, hundreds and thousands of Sword Qi leaped from the Green Ruler Sword wielded by Li Tongya, smashing down like a waterfall, the puppet clay effigy instantly turned to flying ash, the entire mountaintop trembling nonstop, banging loudly.

"Boom..."

The dazzling blue-white Sword Radiance flickered for a full five breaths, Sword Qi crisscrossing, turning the ruins swiss-cheese with holes, all the rainwater on the platform flowed backward, turning into a misty white vapor, hazy, resembling the Immortal Realm.

"Hahahahahaha!"

The rain was too fierce, and a grey pool of water quickly accumulated within the large pit in the center. The clean head was densely covered in fresh red wounds akin to baby mouths, exposing the dark gold bones inside. Fa Hui’s deep golden eyes were almost falling out but were still filled with rage as he stared at Li Tongya.

"It’s all in vain anyway, my avatar of the Four Wrathful Kings of Maha is returning from The Great Void, you were only just able to shred my avatar, and now you can only expose my bones. In a moment more, you won’t even be able to harm my flesh!"

Both of Fa Hui’s arms had grown back, awkwardly propping up his shoulders and head. He took two probing steps on the ground, looking quite ghastly. The wounds on his face rapidly healed, and turning his head, he laughed.

"Father, is that not so?"

Li Tongya simply watched him quietly, the longsword in his hand flaring with beams of Dharma Light, his eyes filled with anger. Seeing that his own spell affected Li Tongya’s consciousness yet he still did not flee, Fa Hui laughed with a wrathful countenance, tears even streamed from his eyes, gritting his teeth he said,

"You wanted me to look after the younger generation, so I abandoned cultivation and descended the mountain to watch over them. You wanted me to oversee the mineral veins, I abandoned the Immortal Mountain for that barren land to take charge. Barely had I started Qi Cultivation, I had to escort Spiritual Objects. And in the end, you still wanted me to die!"

"Mother cultivated for many years, you wouldn’t spare a single provision more for her, giving everything to Li Xuanfeng and Yuanching’s generation. The few times she used any Elixirs were also the ones I and the Liu Clan presented. When she was dying, all you said was: ’Let it be...’"

The appearance of Fa Hui changed into that of Li Xuanling, the voice identical, glaring with a wrathful countenance, making Li Tongya slightly avert his gaze. The old man seemed a bit bewildered, the longsword in his hand flickered on and off, the sharpness in his eyes weakening, yet he remained silent.

Seeing him not uttering a word, Fa Hui pulled his legs from the ground and picked up the two copper sticks covered in patterns, he stepped forward unabashedly and smacked them down onto Li Tongya.

"Clang..."

The dark gold short stick with elaborate patterns lit up with strands of golden light. The blue-white Sword Radiance collided with it, sparking bursts of fire. The halo behind Fa Hui’s head swirled, growing more intense. Li Tongya unsheathed his sword and fought a few moves with him, forcefully repelling him half a step back.

"Huh..."

The gold in Fa Hui’s eyes grew increasingly thick, the features on his face changing constantly, from Li Xuanling morphing to a bearded Great Han, then from the Great Han to a child, a middle-aged woman, a yellow-haired girl. The nine faces flowed one after another, while Li Tongya drew his sword in defense, his expression growing more confused.

The area once again filled with golden light, thick like streams of long silk winding around Fa Hui’s body, the deep, solemn sound of chanting also began to echo, grand and mighty.

"You!"

Fa Hui’s body was covered with dense golden patterns, his bronze-colored skin reflecting the rain between heaven and earth. His face constantly shifted among nine visages, all displaying anger, while his short stick glittered with gold as it came crashing down onto Li Tongya’s head.

Buddhist practitioners were inherently a notch stronger than those at Foundation Establishment, let alone Fa Hui, who was the Maha Reincarnation. Now, awakening the wrathful countenance, his aura was comparable to that of Compassion. His short stick collided with the Green Ruler Sword, producing a harsh, grating sound. Li Tongya grunted, propelled away like a cannonball and hung suspended in the curtain of rain far off.

"This is actually perfect. Once I devour you, I shall return to my rightful place as Maha!"

Fearing that Li Tongya might escape, Furious Moha stomped heavily on the ground and closed the distance in an instant, leaving behind a dark golden afterimage. His statue-like golden arm swung out, with fingers reaching out to grab Li Tongya.

Naturally, Li Tongya wielded the Green Ruler Sword to block and formed a spell with his hands inside his sleeves, his Immortal Foundation within surged ceaselessly like the Vast Sea. The rain condensed, and the green serpent behind him swarmed forward, biting toward him.

"Creak, creak..."

Furious Moha’s fingers closed around the Dharma Sword, emitting a grating creak. The Green Ruler Sword, a top-grade Foundation Establishment Dharma Sword, shone brightly and was dazzling to behold.

"Jing Dragon King."

Having lived through nine lifetimes and seen much of the world, Furious Moha recognized and called out the ancient name of the Vast Sea. With a chuckle and his deep gold eyes fixed on Li Tongya, he uttered the Buddhist chant:

"Your swordsmanship is passable, but your immortal techniques are lacking!"

The Li Family had risen only over sixty-odd years, relying on their swordsmanship to maintain their facade, what intricate spells could they possibly have? Furious Moha released the sword, tore to shreds the serpents upon him with a backhand, and the golden ribbons around his body leaped up like snakes winding toward Li Tongya. Meanwhile, Moha swung his large fists, one after another pummeling toward him.

"Bang, bang bang, bang..."

In a matter of breaths, Furious Moha had thrown a hundred punches. Li Tongya held his sword in defense, attempting to distance himself, but the golden ribbons had already entwined his feet, binding them firmly.

"Spurt."

Li Tongya forcefully endured a hundred punches from Compassion, his large and small blood vessels bursting open, his organs shattered, blood spewing from his mouth, his entire body soaked crimson, as he hung limp and drooping.

"The decree of fate is set! I shall take my place!"

Furious Moha roared with laughter, his whole body blazing with golden light, his fist penetrating Li Tongya’s abdomen, his eyes bright with clarity. He supported Li Tongya, breathing heavily from a three-inch distance, with golden talismans in his palm lighting up one by one. The last bit of white in his eyes disappeared completely, turning to deep gold, as he burst out laughing:

"Hahahaha..."

"Cough cough...hahaha...hahaha."

The thunderous laughter of Furious Moha resonated between heaven and earth, and Li Tongya coughed twice, his blood-stained face revealing a hint of a smile. His body curled up, also laughing weakly.

Furious Moha was stunned, his handsome smile freezing on his face as shock and rage erupted from within him. He slowly raised his head to look into the distance.

The torrential rain blurred the world, dark and devoid of light, yet the puddles on the ground mirrored the slowly emerging bands of radiance in the sky.

"One, two, three... seven, eight, nine."
