Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao-Chapter 429 206 Liu Qingyun Makes a Move

```

But it seems she celebrated too early; the Green Lion, though wrapped in spells, showed not a shred of fear on his face, instead, his desire for battle surged.

He opened his mouth wide and roared towards the sky, a tremendous light shining forth from his body. It was Buddha Light, naturally able to suppress all Demon Aura and Ghosts.

When the Peach Blossom Maiden and Ghost Scholar's spells encountered this Buddha Light, they wilted as if facing a natural predator, the vines summoned by the Peach Blossom Maiden turned to ashes in an instant under its glow, leaving only petals dancing in the air.

The Ferocious Ghosts of the Ghost Scholar suffered the same fate, all suppressed by the Buddha Light, unable to stir up any trouble.

"How is this possible, how could you possess Buddhism's Great Divine Power!" exclaimed the Peach Blossom Maiden in disbelief. Who would have thought that a Demon King, his hands stained with the blood of the human race, could wield the Divine Skills of Buddhism—it would be a joke if word got out.

A smile appeared on the Green Lion's face as he said, "Want to know? Go ask the old man Yama in the Underworld!" His fist, bearing down like doom, was about to reach the top of Peach Blossom Maiden's head.

A figure appeared in front of her in an instant, the Ghost Scholar, who unbelievably used his own body to take this lethal hit for her.

The great force passed right through the body of the Ghost Scholar, but thankfully, he was a spirit, and though the Green Lion's power was mighty, it was not enough to scatter his soul.

"I told you, I won't let you die before me," said the Ghost Scholar weakly.

The Peach Blossom Maiden quickly clutched the Ghost Scholar, using all her Mana to alleviate the injuries on his body, yet the Green Lion had not a trace of sympathy, finding such prey more interesting.

He moved toward the crowd at a leisurely pace, his fist still stained with fresh blood, casting a massive shadow over everyone's heads, making it hard for them to breathe.

The old beggar sighed lightly, looking at the Golden Snake Granny with a smile, "It seems I'm going to die here with you this time!"

"Told you not to come in, but you just had to," said the Golden Snake Granny. Looking at the old beggar, her eyes brimming with tenderness, she gently took his hand and said, "I've forgiven you a long time ago."

The Green Lion raised his fist, ready to finish off the prey before him, but unexpectedly, a Silver Spear came flying from a distance. The immense power whipped up a powerful gale, screaming through the air.

An overwhelming sense of danger enveloped the Green Lion; he knew the spear's power was no small threat and that if he took it head-on like before, he would likely get hurt.

Therefore, for the first time, the Green Lion, who had been relentlessly advancing until now, chose to retreat.

The Silver Spear fell from the sky, and a colossal gust blew the four astonished people away, blossoming a small mushroom cloud upon the earth and stirring up endless gales all around.

The four, looking disheveled and utterly dumbfounded, stared at the silver Long Spear quietly planted at the center of the crater.

The Green Lion's expression turned solemn as he gazed at the Long Spear; he felt he could sense through it the might of its owner, a formidable adversary, he thought to himself.

A mighty roar of a Tuo Dragon echoed across the sky as Xiao Qi, in the form of a Tuo Dragon, summoned clouds and descended from the heavens, carrying his brothers on his back.

Liu Qingyun leapt down from Xiao Qi's back, landing softly in front of the Green Lion, carefully observing the Demon King before him, his thick Demon Aura and the intense resentment winding around his body causing Liu Qingyun to frown.

"Who goes there? State your name."

"Mountain Luoxia, Liu Qingyun."

"Mountain Luoxia." Green Lion murmured to himself, always feeling like he had heard the name before, but he couldn't recall where.

He shook his head, dismissing the thought, and stared coldly at Liu Qingyun. "I didn't expect to encounter a master like you this time. It seems my trip won't be boring after all."

With that, he lunged at Liu Qingyun, his fists enshrouded with Demon Aura. Liu Qingyun gestured slightly and his Silver Spear, which had been planted in the ground, flew into his hands.

The cold Long Spear came to life in Liu Qingyun's hands, like a lively serpent. As it moved, it carried a sharp aura that could slice through all things.

Green Lion's fists were fast, but Liu Qingyun's Silver Spear was faster. It rained down on Green Lion like a violent storm, forcing Green Lion to go on the defensive.

Liu Qingyun's spearplay became quicker and quicker, and soon the air was filled with shadows of his strikes. Green Lion found it increasingly difficult to defend himself.

However, he was after all a Demon King with Great Divine Power, and despite being momentarily overpowered, he quickly realized that if the fight continued this way, he would fall into Liu Qingyun's rhythm of battle and lose the chance to turn the tides.

Seizing a moment, he unleashed the Lion's Roar again. A colossal roar echoed to the heavens, whipping up a tornado, and brilliant golden light emanated from his body, repelling Liu Qingyun's attack.

He sneered viciously at Liu Qingyun, "Kid, you had your fun hitting me just now, now it's my turn."

Liu Qingyun curved his lips into a contemptuous smile, "There's no point in displaying such a superficial imitation of Buddhism. True Buddhism requires a calm state of mind, clarity, and enlightenment. Dominated by desire and seething with grievance, you lack even a hint of the essence of Buddhism. It's merely enough to fool the naive."

Indeed, Liu Qingyun wasn't wrong. The divine skills of Buddhism often require pairing with corresponding Buddhist teachings to unleash their full potential, a fact not known to many. Green Lion, though long residing in Mount Ling, was of limited understanding. Despite daily exposure, his grasp of Buddhism was superficial, far from what was needed to harness the divine skills of Buddhism.

Thus, out of anger and embarrassment, he retorted, "Well said, boy. You think you're above everyone else because you know a thing or two, but today I'll show you what I'm capable of."

He transformed into a massive Green Lion, opening his cavernous jaws as a tremendous suction force swept towards the people, who, caught off guard, were sucked into his maw.

Liu Qingyun felt the world spin before realizing he had been transported into a mysterious space. Suddenly, an odious fluid rushed towards them. It was Green Lion's stomach acid, possessing powerful corrosive properties.

The others felt a burning pain upon contact with the fluid, and upon inspection, they found the affected areas of their bodies had turned pitch black.

With a solemn expression, Liu Qingyun channeled his Mana. His body emination bright silver light, he transformed into a giant figure of Divine Beings, clad in Battle Armor, holding a Silver Spear. Surrounded by a glittering starlight, a huge Protective Shield formed around them, safeguarding everyone within it.

The surging acid continuously lashed against the Protective Shield but was unable to penetrate it, prompting a collective sigh of relief from the group.

Meanwhile, outside, two youngsters saw their eldest senior brother devoured by the Demon and their eyes instantly reddened with distress.
