Chapter 640 - 419: Sage and Title
On the plains, layers of mysterious illusion realms had already formed, congregating in an area less than a hundred meters across. It resembled countless mirages stacked together, yet none of the surrounding human masters dared to underestimate this small fragment of illusion realm, only able to stand outside and stare blankly.
"This demon is truly cunning! He has dragged Mieyue into the Boundless Purgatory, both to fight the enemy and for self-preservation! If only we had besieged this demon earlier, he wouldn’t have been able to pull off such tactics!"
One of the three Buddhist monks sighed again at this moment, somewhat regrets their previous "civility" in allowing the Moon-Annihilating Dragon Saber to duel the Demon Venerable, leading to the current unfavorable situation.
The present situation was indeed a strategic dilemma for them.
To advance, they were reluctant to step into this illusion realm, as the chances of rescuing Moon-Annihilating Dragon Saber were extremely slim, and they would also have to endure some unnecessary risks.
To retreat, was even worse. If this Demon Venerable were to quietly leave shortly after their departure, he who had already fallen into their trap would break through the blockade, capable of causing havoc elsewhere.
"Junior brother, don’t be anxious. I once heard the words of a Saint, the power of the Boundless Purgatory is not easily borrowed. Since this demon has resorted to this move, it proves he is at the end of his rope. Mieyue might not necessarily lose to him."
The eldest of the three monks replied optimistically.
While they were discussing, Confucian scholar Qingfeng also happened to arrive. This young Super Innate expert also felt frustrated with the current situation, as he had no opportunity to deploy his unique skills, and he said to the three Buddhist monks irritably:
"Our Confucian scholar will arrive shortly! By then, the scholar will find a way to break this illusion realm! You should first find the other two Demon Venerables!"
Upon hearing his words, the three Buddhist monks immediately showed displeasure.
Because the reasoning is still the same, if they waited for the Confucian scholar to come and solve all the problems, where would that leave the Buddhist Sect’s face? This was about the Buddhist Sect’s reputation in the Calamity Realm.
"Hmph! The scholar is such a great person, how could he come at a moment’s notice? Perhaps he has already gone to assist in guarding the realm with the Saints! How could such minor troubles require the scholar’s presence?! Utterly ridiculous!"
One of the monks replied angrily.
From the monk’s words, it could be heard that even though they had a strong aversion towards the Confucian side, almost ready to fight upon meeting, they still held great respect for the Confucian scholar, setting aside sect differences.
The fact was indeed so, the Confucian scholar was a very unique figure.
It was said his cultivation level was the highest below the Saints, always on the brink of breaking through to the Saint Realm, becoming the fourth Saint among humans.
Moreover, although he was among the Confucians, he did not have any sect bias, with knowledge and talents far beyond what could describe his astonishing genius. He was one of few willing to selflessly mentor Buddhist disciples, Taoist disciples, and even common disciples without sect, hence he possessed extraordinary fame, making him admired even by the Buddhist high monks who were hostile towards Confucianism.
Upon hearing the high monk’s remarks, Qingfeng responded with a scornful smile:
"Heh, you might not know! The scholar has recently been residing at our Confucian Shuyue Pavilion writing books, while also looking over the demonic chaos in the Calamity Realm! The scholar is kind-hearted and will surely come to help! Even if he only sends a manifestation, it would be sufficient to solve the trouble here!"
The young Qingfeng spoke with undisguised admiration for the scholar, for someone who had achieved the Super Innate Realm at such a young age, to admire someone so greatly, it showed how much the scholar impressed him.
"The scholar is actually at Shuyue Pavilion?! Then it would be very convenient to come... In this way, Mieyue could be saved, but where exactly is the other Taoist friend?"
The Buddhist high monk finally believed Qingfeng was not bragging and they no longer saw the fake Boundless Purgatory as a problem, after all, it was the scholar, could someone as powerful as a Saint not solve such a thing? No one would believe that!
Just as they diverted their attention, preparing to locate Wang Zhifan and the other two Demon Venerables’ whereabouts, the sky nearby suddenly changed.
A faint pale vertical line suddenly appeared in the sky, then expanded outward at an angle forming two infinitely high planes, three figures appeared between the two planes, falling towards the ground below.
The largest figure was a broken corpse about two floors high, with broken arms and a large transparent hole in its torso, it was the recently fierce and intimidating short Demon Flame Demon Venerable.
The second largest was a massive block of bone, appearing bigger than two carriages put together, yet one couldn’t make out its original form.
The smallest figure was a short-haired young man in blue, leisurely walking down from the sky, who else could it be but the Taoist friend Wang Zhifan who the crowd was speaking of?
Boom~ Boom~
With two consecutive dull thuds, the remains of the two Demon Venerables crashed heavily to the ground, while Wang Zhifan landed in front of the three Buddhists and Qingfeng under their astonished gaze.
"Young friend... have you slain two Demon Venerables?!"
The eldest monk was the first to recognize the block of bone as part of the once massive Demon Venerable’s head, and he was greatly astonished to inquire Wang Zhifan who just landed, unable to believe that within such a short time, this young man had resolved the two formidable Demon Venerables they so feared.
