The Empress's No.1 Lackey

Chapter 1022 - 571: Slaying the Worldly Realm (Part 3)

Kongzhu wasn’t wrong, he didn’t have many tricks, only that alms bowl.

But just the Buddha beads from that bowl were enough to kill the two women.

However, his target was not Jin Jian and Ji Yue, but the slumbering Zhao Douan. As long as he killed this person,

he and Guangyuan would retreat, no longer lingering in the fight.

And right now, they were just a step away from killing the culprit who destroyed the Divine Dragon Temple.

"Go! Take him away! I’ll hold him off a bit longer..." Jin Jian fiercely drove her magic wand into the ground, her legs trembling, panting.

Indeed, she couldn’t defeat this monk, but as a disciple of the Heavenly Master, she did have a life-saving trump card.

It’s just that it needed a real life-threatening situation to activate passively.

Jin Jian prepared to desperately hold off, using the trump card to resist.

Ji Yue gritted her teeth, rushed forward, trying to pick up Zhao Douan, but unexpectedly, a Buddha bead suddenly passed through Jin Jian’s defense, striking her back hard!

"Ah!"

Ji Yue spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, turning her head to look back, only to find, in shock, that Kongzhu suddenly swung up the bowl and threw it forcefully, sending Jin Jian flying like a stone.

He was holding back!

"Amitabha Buddha, Master Zhao’s life is mine to claim," Kongzhu chanted a Buddha phrase, and without any obstruction, stepped in front of Zhao Douan.

The thin lama flicked his finger lightly.

"Crack!"

The ice layer on Zhao Douan’s body cracked open, fragments falling away, revealing a body maintaining a forward-charging saber stance, eyes closed tight, brows covered in frost.

"No—"

Ji Yue let out a cry of despair.

Jin Jian and Yu Xiu also simultaneously cast their eyes over.

Lang Shiba, fighting with the monk soldiers, suddenly turned back to look.

Further away, Little Heavenly Master Zhong Pan pinned the Mountain Lord to the ground with a flying sword and looked up to witness the scene, showing a look of surprise.

Kongzhu smiled, his finger straightened, pointing towards Zhao Douan’s brow.

It was as if he already saw the scene of Zhao Douan’s death.

But at that very moment, Kongzhu suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis!

He paused, only to see Zhao Douan’s frost-rimmed brows twitch, and his eyes abruptly open!

One pupil was silver, the other a strange translucent color.

Eyes locked.

In shock, Kongzhu saw in the depths of those two pupils, respectively, a woman in wedding attire, and... a completely translucent young girl.

Dragon Girl?! How could this Wild God appear in his eyes...

This was Kongzhu’s last thought. The next second, this high-grade Buddhist mage’s eyelids closed abruptly, pulled into a dreamscape by the Dragon Girl!

He lost all resistance!

The spinning alms bowl in the distance also lost its mana, falling to the ground.

At the same time, Zhao Douan’s hand gripped the Chasing Saber tightly, and suddenly it thrust out!

"Puff!"

The blade pierced Kongzhu’s abdomen, exiting through the back of his kasaya!

Vast qi mechanism flowed constantly through the Chasing Saber into Kongzhu’s body, instantly smashing the monk’s organs!

One slash.

The high-grade of the worldly realm perished!

Zhao Douan kicked away the bleeding Kongzhu, pulled out the Chasing Saber, and a line of blood dripped onto the ground, while a smile curled on his lips, his strange eyes gazing again at Guangyuan.

"Not good..."

Monk Guangyuan was suddenly shocked, about to flee, but upon seeing Zhao Douan’s gaze, the Dragon Girl’s power influenced him, overwhelming sleepiness attacked.

The surrounding Golden Bell Shield began to falter.

"Slash!" Yu Xiu’s eyes lit up, seizing the opportunity, forming a seal with her hands, the Green Jade Flying Sword fiercely pierced through the Golden Bell, slicing across Monk Guangyuan’s neck.

A red line of blood appeared.

"Huff huff..." Guangyuan clutched his neck with one hand, holding his staff with the other, eyes wide, retreating rapidly, suddenly feeling a chill in his back.

A crimson greatsword pierced into his heart.

The second high grade of the worldly realm, fell!

Zhong Pan impassively yanked out the greatsword, glanced at Guangyuan’s corpse, then turned to the remaining dozens of monk soldiers.

Moments later.

On the silent street lay scattered bodies in chaos.

Zhao Douan leaned on his blade, turned his head, extending a hand to the shivering Ji Yue on the ground, smiling: "Still alive, aren’t you?"

Ji Yue was momentarily stunned, then cautiously reached out her hand, firmly grasped by Zhao Douan, who pulled her up.

"Neigh." The one-horned horse, hiding afar, pulled the cart and ran back.

Yu Xiu, Zhong Pan, Lang Shiba, and others cautiously walked over, confirming all enemies were dead, collectively heaving a sigh of relief.

"Solved..."

The monks of Divine Dragon Temple were exceptionally formidable. Luckily, they finally achieved victory.

Immediately, several gazes simultaneously fell on Zhao Douan, their eyes filled with amazement.
