A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 2278 - 1538: Dimensional Strike (Buying a Full Steering Wheel Set on Singles’ Day)
Duanmu Huai swaggered into the Jingnian Zen Sect looking for trouble, and naturally, news of his arrival had already reached Shi Feixuan, who then immediately discussed with the great masters of Jingnian Zen Sect before deciding to meet the guest at the mountain gate.
In Shi Feixuan’s view, Duanmu Huai coming to find trouble with the Jingnian Zen Sect was nothing more than his attempt to gain fame by stepping on them. Perhaps in martial arts, they might not be his match, but when it comes to a war of words, she and the high monks of Jingnian Zen Sect had various ways to shut Duanmu Huai’s mouth in front of the world’s heroes.
However, Shi Feixuan didn’t expect Duanmu Huai to be so unscrupulous, immediately striking with a devastating blow!
"The Tathagata is no good, and neither are you disciples of yours any better!"
Duanmu Huai raised the War Hammer, pointing at Shi Feixuan, a strong killing intent burst out from him, and for a moment, lightning flashed and thunder roared around, as if the heavens were furious.
"Foreign cult, daring to come to the Central Plains to choose a king on behalf of heaven, how dare you! Where is that scoundrel Ning Daoqi, have him come here and die with you!"
Upon hearing this, whether it was Shi Feixuan, Li Shimin, or the Jianghu people, they were all shocked and finally understood why Duanmu Huai came looking for trouble with Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Sect.
No matter how prosperous Buddhism was in the Central Plains, it was ultimately an Outer Domain sect. Yet here they were, occupying the seat, daring to choose a king for heaven, clearly too much for the heavens to bear, out to punish them!
Duanmu Huai raised high the War Hammer, and at this moment, the Sixth Heavenly Demon King’s Divine Power surged forth, merging with the dark clouds. The Jianghu people merely felt the color of the world change, but Shi Feixuan, Le Kong Saint Monk, and the Four Guardian Kings had paled complexions. Generally speaking, a Buddhist’s willpower far exceeded that of ordinary people, especially those of an enlightened high monk, would not easily regard life and death chaos.
But as the saying goes, someone who remains unfazed upon seeing Taishan crumble has simply never truly witnessed Taishan’s collapse.
The Sixth Heavenly Demon King targeted religious believers and was a special nemesis to Buddhism, so the usual tranquil Buddhist hearts instantly fell into a demonic spell upon encountering the Sixth Heavenly Demon King’s illusion. For a moment, everyone felt as if they were seeing illusions of collapsing Buddha statues and dying monks, as the entire mountain was ablaze, a pattern of camps consumed by fire.
Shi Feixuan was equally pale, she saw the entire country ablaze in the flames of war, all stemming from her arrogance of choosing a king for heaven. The noble sentiment once dedicated to saving the world now turned into the very root of disorder for one’s selfish desire. Shi Feixuan could no longer maintain the Sword Heart Clarity from the Ci Hang Sword Scripture, utterly breaking her composure.
At that moment, an old Taoist hurriedly rushed out from the mountain gate, loudly shouting.
"Please, your excellency, listen to this old Taoist—!!"
Yet by then, Duanmu Huai had already brought the hammer down.
In the next instant, thunder roared, and silver snakes danced.
Everyone felt a thundering roar in their ears, a blinding white before their eyes, instinctively covering their eyes and screaming, some retreating repeatedly until they stepped off into the void, falling off the cliff. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Nobody knew how long it was before the thunder stopped, and everyone cautiously opened their eyes, looking forward, only to be dumbstruck.
They saw that now the grand Jingnian Zen Temple, as large as the Palace, had been razed to the ground, the various Buddha towers and monk quarters turning into rubble. The grand mountain gate in front of Duanmu Huai, the Four Guardian Kings, along with hundreds of monk soldiers, had vanished without a trace, leaving the ground a gloomy gray. Clear traces of a sweeping wave could be seen directly cutting across the entire temple, and even the central bronze hall had been uprooted, shattered all over.
Duanmu Huai lowered the War Hammer, extending his right hand to grasp forward. Then, everyone saw a small thing emitting a gentle glow rise from the rubble, slowly flying towards Duanmu Huai. At the approach of this object, the Jianghu people present all felt a peculiar sensation, as if their True Qi was stagnating, unable to function. Recalling the properties of the He Shi Bi that Duanmu Huai had mentioned earlier, they looked concerned, thinking it was no wonder Cihang Jingzhai would hide the He Shi Bi here. If Shi Feixuan carried this thing and ran around Luoyang, the unfortunate ones wouldn’t just be them.
At this moment, the He Shi Bi landed in Duanmu Huai’s hand, and everyone finally saw that renowned He Shi Bi.
Its appearance confirmed what Wang Yuyan had said, with a gold-inlaid corner, a jade luster throughout, and merely looking at it exuded an extraordinary aura. Thus, the saying that whoever possesses He Shi Bi gains the world wasn’t unwarranted.
Duanmu Huai picked up the He Shi Bi, flipped it over, looked at the imprint underneath, and shook his head.
Given the mandate of heaven, may it endure eternally——When Qin Shi Huang had Li Si engrave this, did he ever think his Qin Dynasty would end with the second generation?
At this thought, Duanmu Huai flicked his finger, and everyone saw the Jade Seal fly from his hand, spiraling into the sky. Following this, a thunderbolt struck it, shattering it to pieces.
"Alright, it’s done, all over."
Duanmu Huai retracted the Power Armor, yawned, turned, and left. The Jianghu people seeing him approach hurriedly stood to the sides, not daring to block his way. Even a hero such as Li Shimin did the same, for despite their prowess, they were mere mortals, and Duanmu Huai’s strike just now had exceeded the limits of human ability, compounded by what he said... it couldn’t help but make one ponder deeply.
