Zhang Kongyun turned his head and glanced at Ziyuan, and then said in a deep voice: "Ziyuan, do you want to compete with me for this limelight?"
Ziyuan was stunned and said: "Don't dare! But this monk is too vicious. Master Kong Yun, you are the Optimus Prime of our Zhengyi Sect. If anything happens..."
Zhang Kongyun was furious and his old face tightened: "Do you look down on me? Or do you think I am old, my fists and feet are no longer good, and I can no longer hold a sword?"
Ziyuan saw Zhang Kongyun's fierce fighting spirit. She hesitated for a moment, but then saw Zhang Kongyun whisper: "Ziyuan, this monk is too vicious. Even I may not be sure of victory. You are still young and have a lot of potential to improve your cultivation.
, don’t stumble here and affect your future practice. ≧ ”
Ziyuan's heart moved and she whispered to Zhang Kongyun: "Master Kongyun, aren't you afraid of affecting your practice?"
Zhang Kongyun smiled slightly, glanced meaningfully at Ziyuan, strode onto the field, and said loudly: "Zhengyijiao Zhang Kongyun is here, and Shota Takahashi is here to die!"
The two sides had already forged a deep hatred. Zhang Kongyun came on the stage in anger, without even basic etiquette, and simply called him by his first name.
When the cultivators from various factions on the sidelines saw him coming on the stage, their expressions suddenly became serious and they all whispered to each other: "The Zhengyi Sect is finally on the stage!"
"I wonder if I can win?"
"We will definitely win. Zhang Kongyun is one of the top ten gold masters who became famous very early. There is no way he will lose!"
"That's not necessarily true. Wasn't Zhang Huashui defeated just now?"
"Oh, Zhang Huashui is too impulsive. Why do you want to fight this Japanese in close combat?"
"What should I do if I don't fight hand-to-hand? You haven't seen that the sword is extremely fierce, like a magic weapon specially designed to break golden bodies. If you fight from a distance, and the monk strikes at you one after another with his swords, what will you do? You can only fight close to me.
Fight hand-to-hand and win in a dangerous battle! Oh, what a pity, I didn’t expect this Japanese to be so ferocious that he actually killed himself and won! It’s terrible, it’s really terrible!”
There is one huge difference between Chinese Taoist practitioners and Japanese Buddhist practitioners, that is, Taoist practitioners never engage in self-mutilation. They are the most cherished group of people in the world.
As parents, there is no reason for harming oneself.
In order to cultivate their moral character, they keep their lives in order, clearly distinguishing what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten, and they have persisted in doing so for decades.
Such a group of people are more than elegant, but not brave and fierce. Moreover, the purpose of Taoist practitioners is not to fight and kill, but to live forever, become immortals, and go to another Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. Therefore,
What they practice is superior Taoism and immortality, not murderous techniques.
However, Japanese Buddhist practitioners are different, and the Jodo Shinshu sect is even more different.
Among Buddhist sects around the world, everyone agrees on the same view, that is, "Buddha in India, Dharma in China, and Sangha in Japan."
This means that India is the birthplace of Buddhism, so the gods in Buddhism all originated in India, so there is the term "Buddha in India". However, when Buddhism truly spreads around the world, it is inextricably linked to the spread of Buddhism in China.
After Buddhism was introduced to China, through the efforts of Tibetan Buddhism and Central Plains Buddhism, both the theory and the magic of Buddhism have risen to a level that no one else can reach. Even India, the birthplace of Buddhism, can only lag behind and feel inferior.
However, there have been countless struggles between religious forces and imperial forces in China for thousands of years. Buddhism has experienced several great catastrophes, during which countless monks died or returned to secular life. This has also greatly weakened the power of Chinese Buddhist monks.
However, after Buddhism crossed eastward and entered Japan, it immediately flourished. The Japanese were not good at understanding and creating, but they were extremely good at learning and applying it. Especially at that time, China was experiencing a catastrophe for Buddhism. Many eminent monks passed on the true Dharma to the Japanese without reservation.
Monks who studied abroad, such as Kobo of Shingon Tantra, Shinran of Jodo Shinshu, Saicheng of Tendai sect, and others.
These monks who studied abroad eagerly learned the most advanced Buddhist concepts and the most powerful Buddhist magic in Chinese Buddhism, and brought them back to Japan to promote Buddhism.
Although Japanese Buddhism has experienced many disasters for thousands of years, with each disaster, the power of Buddhism in this country has become stronger, and the monks under its command have become more powerful.
In particular, the Jodo Shinshu's "One-time One-King" movement brought the country's monks to the historical stage of national war and military hegemony for the first time, and the monks were promoted to an unprecedented height.
Although Japanese monks also eat fast and recite Buddha's name, they have special "protecting monks", that is, cruel and fierce monk soldiers. These monks have always been trained to practice in the most cruel way, which is more cruel than ascetics in China or India.
Hundred times, their existence is not only protected by the uprightness of Buddhism, but also recognized by the government.
Although these monks who chant Amitabha and carry killing knives have killed countless evildoers, they firmly believe that what they do is for the advancement of Buddhism and preaching. Therefore, they believe that at the moment of their death, if they put down their butcher knives, they will be able to die immediately.
Become a Buddha! Therefore, they are never merciful and are as ruthless to their enemies as they are to themselves!
Although practitioners from various sects in China have heard of this point of view, except for the tragic war that was related to the national destiny of the two countries decades ago, where has there ever been such friction and battle in the Chinese and Japanese spiritual circles?
Therefore, when the killing machine of Japan's Jodo Shinshu began to show its ferocious face, they were suddenly awakened by "the Buddha in India, the Dharma in China, and the monks in Japan". As expected, they are not deceived!
No matter how powerful the Chinese Dharma is, it must be used by powerful practitioners. That is the real Dharma!
But, could a group of cultivators like them, who are "parents of skin, essence, and blood", be the opponent of such a killing machine?
Originally, the practitioners on the field were excited by Takahashi Shota's cruel methods, but Takahashi shot himself in order to win. This cruelty greatly shocked the practitioners of all factions on the field. They simply could not understand Takahashi Shota.
This is a way to win by killing ten thousand enemies and damaging yourself by three thousand.
For a moment, everyone on the field stared at Zhang Kongyun. The Zhengyi Sect represents the strongest force in the Chinese Taoist practice world, and Zhang Kongyun is the strongest practitioner among the Zhengyi Sect on the field at this time.
If he loses...the consequences will be disastrous!
Regarding this, the Japanese spiritual community is also well aware of this. Although they are angry with Shota Takahashi for taking arbitrary actions without consulting, which is the fine style of the Japanese military government during World War II of "lower-ranking non-commissioned officers leading senior officers by the nose", but at this time the deal is already done.
, after all, they belong to the same camp and the same country. Now that the two sides are hostile, there is absolutely no reason to blame one's own people and try to please the other party.
No matter how much you want to uphold justice, you don't dare to stand up and say a word, because whoever dares to say a word for the Chinese spiritual world at this time will definitely become a sinner in the Japanese spiritual world and will either be eliminated immediately or follow him.
His sect disappeared in the long river of history.
At this time, when they saw Zhang Kongyun on the stage, they couldn't help but become nervous. Many people spoke loudly to Takahashi Shota in Japanese, constantly reminding him and telling him how to deal with it.
Shota Takahashi also restrained the arrogance on his face and seriously looked at the opponent in front of him.
Similarly, many practitioners in the Chinese spiritual sect loudly gave advice to Zhang Kongyun. For a moment, two languages were mixed together. You said yours and I said mine. It was extremely intense.
Ruan Hongling nervously grabbed Ziyuan's arm and whispered: "Senior sister, can Zhang Kongyun win?" Although the two sides were shouting about fighting and killing before, now the foreign enemy is facing the same enemy, so she can't help but feel less nervous.
Ziyuan whispered: "I don't know, if Master Zhang fights with the determination to die, he has a great chance of winning, but if..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw Zhang Kongyun on the field suddenly shouted loudly, and he moved like a cannonball towards Shota Takahashi.
When everyone saw him looking like he was about to fight hand-to-hand, they all exclaimed, and some even stamped their feet and said, "Damn it, don't fight me-to-hand!"
When Shota Takahashi saw him approaching, he was overjoyed, smiled ferociously, and struck down with his sword!
But as soon as his knife hit Zhang Kongyun's body, Zhang Kongyun in front of him was shattered instantly, and he himself appeared behind Shota Takahashi in the blink of an eye, and a sword appeared in his hand and stabbed Shota Takahashi in the back of the heart.
Although Takahashi Shota also had a golden body to protect his body, his opponent also had a golden body. With the two canceling each other out, he didn't dare to rely on his golden body to carry it forward. He shouted loudly, turned around and struck out with a sword.
This sword has the power of a saber, with fierce force and a tricky angle. It has a tendency to strike first. If Zhang Kongyun had not sheathed his sword, this sword would definitely hit him.
This sword attack was a sure-fire way to save the enemy. Takahashi Shota originally thought that Zhang Kongyun would save himself first before trying to hurt the enemy. But when his sword just struck out, Zhang Kongyun disappeared again. There was only one sword left in front of him, still moving as fast as lightning.
Stab yourself!
Shota Takahashi was shocked. He suddenly felt a powerful force approaching from above his head. When he knocked the long sword in front of him with one blow, he looked up and saw a bolt of lightning from above his head instantly struck him.
Over the head!
With a "boom", Shota Takahashi was immediately shaken all over. Although he was protected by a golden body, this lightning almost shattered his golden body.
Shota Takahashi was shocked and angry, and just about to fight back, he saw Zhang Kongyun appeared in front of him again, with a talisman stuck to his fingertips and sticking it towards his forehead.
Shota Takahashi yelled angrily and slashed with his sword, only to see Zhang Kongyun disappear again like a ghost. A talisman flew lightly in front of his eyes. The runes on it quickly turned red and brightened, followed by a loud explosion and a mess of rubble.
Flying, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and Takahashi Shota's body was shrouded in it, making him invisible.
The exchanges between the two of them seemed to take a long time, but in fact, it was only a few seconds. The practitioners on both sides of the field saw Zhang Kongyun seeming to transform into several people at the same time, casting spells at the same time.
, hitting Shota Takahashi up, down, left and right, unable to defend himself and unable to fight back.
Ziyuan stared at Zhang Kongyun intently, and she had a vague understanding of the mystery of the golden body fighting method that Li Yundong once said. She saw that although Zhang Kongyun was old, he was worthy of being a veteran who had been practicing for decades.
Whenever Zhang Kongyun casts spells or recites incantations, it is as if all things in the world are part of his body, and he can direct them smoothly and freely like an arm.
In just this moment, Zhang Kongyun used dozens of Taoist techniques around Shota Takahashi. Shota Takahashi was like a beast with no brute force but trapped by an invisible net, roaring angrily,
But he still couldn't grasp Zhang Kongyun's true identity.
Although Zhang Kongyun's spells cannot break through Takahashi Shota's golden body, the lightning summoned by Zhang Kongyun will still cause the blood in his body to fluctuate, and the fire spell will explode in front of his eyes, causing dust to fly, and his vision will be greatly affected.
The impact, especially since Zhang Kongyun would release several earth spells from time to time, made Shota Takahashi worry about what would happen under his feet from time to time.
Although this could not cause direct damage to Takahashi Shota, every time he was about to step on the ground, a piece of the ground would sink, causing him to miss the mark. This kind of psychological shock and turmoil is really difficult to describe.
Shota Takahashi was already violent and irritable, but now he was surrounded and beaten by Zhang Kongyun, and he roared even more angrily.
Seeing that Zhang Kongyun had the upper hand, practitioners from various Chinese sects suddenly burst into loud cheers and cheers, while practitioners from various sects in Japan fell into deathly silence for a while.
Ruan Hongling looked at Shota Takahashi being surrounded by Zhang Kongyun, hitting him with a palm from the left and a sword from the right. After a while, Shota Takahashi was beaten all over with scars and blood dripping from her body. She pulled Ziyuan's arm in surprise.
, whispered: "Senior sister, are we going to win?"
Ziyuan nodded slightly: "Zhenzhen Zhang's method is right. Japanese monks are indeed very strong, but their spells are single and cannot be compared with us. He surrounded the opponent with various powerful spells, cut the flesh with blunt knives, and slowly drained his blood, and then
Consuming him to death is the best option!"
While she was speaking, she saw one of Zhang Kongyun's clones being chopped into pieces by Shota Takahashi, but the long sword in the clone's hand plunged into Shota Takahashi's chest with a pop, and the tip of the sword went straight through his back!
Practitioners from all the Chinese sects all shouted joyfully, and Ruan Hongling even shouted ecstatically: "We win!"
