Eternal Saber
Chapter 522 - 128: Bullying the Weak with Power
"Master Zagu has died?"
"Wasn’t he the Vajra reincarnation of the Buddhist Sect, blessed by the gods and Buddhas, his golden body immune to blade and spear, unaffected by water and fire? How could he die?"
"Now that he has died, does that mean our family can no longer ascend to Paradise?"
Many people saw the reaction of the numerous monks from Da Kong Temple and expressed disbelief.
Some people were at a loss.
Some people collapsed on the spot, crying bitterly.
Others began to doubt, waking up from those illusory myths and legends after Chen Tang beat the Zagu monk to death.
The members of the Jianghu all looked pensive and sighed deeply.
In fact, the actions of the Zagu monk had long been unbearable to many in the Jianghu.
However, among peers, they simply couldn’t beat him.
Some powerful figures from large sects or factions, either due to their status or concern for their relationship with the Buddhist Sect, only turned a blind eye to it. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
People couldn’t have imagined that today, out of nowhere, a man appeared who beat the Zagu monk to death with his bare hands!
"He was beaten to death alive; if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, it would have been hard to imagine."
"This Esoteric Monk’s strength was recognized in the Jianghu as the top of the Human Ranking."
"Who is this person? Why have we never heard of such a figure in Jianghu before?"
"The moves he used earlier could still be traced, but the subsequent fist techniques were completely chaotic, a mad frenzy that simply beat someone to death!"
People discussed fervently.
Undoubtedly, this battle would surely cause a great stir in the Jianghu!
"Amitabha, may I ask for this benefactor’s name and affiliation?"
At this moment, a high monk from Da Kong Temple clasped his hands together, chanting a Buddhist blessing.
People looked toward the sound to see the faces of many high monks from Da Kong Temple were unfriendly, and they had subtly surrounded the tall man, with clear intentions!
"The monks from Da Kong Temple are trying to bully the fewer with the more!"
"The two fought fairly, with life and death assumed by each side. What are these monks from Da Kong Temple doing, unable to accept defeat?"
"Where was the fairness? Did you not see the Zagu monk, when desperate, even use a weapon? How shameless!"
At this moment, several voices emerged from corners of the crowd, instantly causing a stir among the people.
Upon hearing this, the faces of the monks from Da Kong Temple immediately fell, glancing around with somewhat ugly expressions.
Changsun He and Tan Wujiu, mixed in the crowd, remained expressionless.
Those who stirred up trouble were intentionally arranged by them under Chen Tang’s orders.
After all, this battle took place at Da Kong Temple.
Chen Tang worried that after he beat the Zagu monk to death, it would be hard to escape, so he devised this plan.
People’s words can be daunting; with all eyes on him, if Da Kong Temple wanted to make things difficult for him, they had to weigh the implications.
"What are you doing!"
Seeing this, the young girl from Flying Snow Hall raised her brows and shouted angrily, "Now that the depraved monk has lost, is your Da Kong Temple trying to rely on power to bully others?"
A monk from Da Kong Temple responded in a deep voice, "This benefactor acted ruthlessly, and every move was fatal. Moreover, killing someone in the holy grounds of the Buddhist Sect, our temple cannot ignore this."
Upon hearing this, the young girl from Flying Snow Hall sneered, "Over the past six months, how many girls has this depraved monk violated in your Da Kong Temple, and how many have died? Are you blind?"
These words were harsh, almost pointing at the faces of the monks from Da Kong Temple while cursing.
"Where did this wild girl come from, so disrespectful? Did she have a mother to care for her but no mother to teach her?"
"What nonsense! These girls willingly accepted Master Zagu’s Empowerment Method. Which family’s girl was violated?"
"Some girls even lost their lives, and they did so willingly?"
"If they’ve died, it’s certainly because their sins from previous lives were too heavy, and this is the result of karma, having nothing to do with Master Zagu!"
The high monks, due to their pride, could not truly curse back.
The little monks below, upon hearing this, seemed to forget their identities as monks, swearing with abusive and twisted logic.
Everyone was arguing, and the scene became extremely unpleasant.
Luo Qi frowned and said, "These monks are bullying people!"
"Really shameless!" Lin Ling’Er pouted.
Guo Heng said nothing, only curiously watching the tall man.
Since he had beaten the Zagu monk to death, he stood holding the Vajra Pestle, not moving and kept silent.
With a group of people arguing around him like this, he could remain so composed, truly a remarkable person.
"Amitabha!"
The abbot of Da Kong Temple chanted a Buddhist blessing with just four words, which echoed around Da Kong Temple, instantly silencing all the noise!
When everyone’s gaze gathered, the abbot of Da Kong Temple spoke slowly, "Master Zagu came from the distant Xiling Secret Sect, and now he died at Da Kong Temple. Our temple must provide an explanation to the Esoteric Sect."
"What explanation do you seek?"
At this moment, a deep voice came from a corner.
Before the voice could fade, a middle-aged couple had already passed through the crowd, arriving beside the monks of Da Kong Temple.
The abbot of Da Kong Temple, upon seeing them, adjusted his expression and clasped his hands, nodding with a smile, "It turns out the ’Crane Cry Saber’ Hall Master Bai and ’Rainbow Robe Sword’ Female Knight Su are here together, an honor indeed."
The Jianghu people present might not have seen this middle-aged couple, but upon hearing their names, all shivered internally.
Crane Cry Saber, Hall Master of Flying Snow Hall.
The Crane Cry at Nine Marshes, a name known throughout the wilderness, a name shaking Jianghu!
The ’Rainbow Robe Sword’ Female Knight Su was also a prominent figure on the Wind and Cloud Ranking and Human Ranking in her youth.
"Father, mother!"
The young girl from Flying Snow Hall, who had been embroiled in a dispute with the little monks, saw them and was overjoyed, calling out and running over.
But before she could take a few steps, her eyes reddened.
People suddenly understood.
No wonder this girl was so bold, arguing with a group of monks at Da Kong Temple; it turned out these two were watching from nearby.
"Master Kongming, long time no see."
Hall Master Bai slightly cupped his hand in greeting.
The ’Rainbow Robe Sword’ Female Knight Su glared at the girl, then gracefully bowed to the monks of Da Kong Temple, saying, "My daughter is reckless and poorly taught, embarrassing all the high monks."
"Female Knight Su, your words are too heavy."
The high monks quickly returned the courtesy.
Su’s bright eyes fell on a young monk, sighing softly, "Earlier I heard this young master say my daughter is raised by a mother but uneducated, which is incorrect."
"I, I..."
The little monk hadn’t expected that his casual curse would fall on the wife of the Hall Master of Flying Snow Hall, his heart apprehensive, seeking help from the high monks, stammering with nothing to say.
"Does the little master know where he went wrong?"
Su Knight asked softly.
Seeing Su Knight’s gentle demeanor, appearing without malice, the little monk gathered the courage and said, "Your, your daughter surely has a mother."
"Hmm."
Su Knight nodded, flashed her figure, appeared before the little monk in the blink of an eye, and struck him backhandedly!
Slap!
The little monk was knocked several meters away, his face red and swollen, blood seeping from his mouth, fainting away on the spot.
This completely surprised everyone.
Earlier, seeing Su Knight’s gentle tone, none of the onlookers expected she would suddenly act.
"Female Knight Su, what are you..."
The high monks asked in astonishment.
Su Knight’s face was icy as she pulled her daughter to her side and said clearly, "My daughter is named Bai Ruoqing, not only does she have a mother, but her mother has taught her like this since she was young!"
The high monks shuddered as they recalled her reputation from her youth.
It’s just that in recent years, marrying into Flying Snow Hall, focusing on family, she had gradually faded from the Jianghu.
