Chapter 44 – Unprecedented formidable enemy


“Abbess, we have no past grievances, nor recent enmity. Why must you pursue me so relentlessly?” Fang Ling’s brows furrowed as he saw her giving chase.

Purple Bamboo Abbess replied, “If you tell me the cultivation method of the Saramita Realm, I will let you go today!”

Fang Ling laughed at her words, “You hypocritical nun, coveting my divine power.”

“Weren’t you just preaching righteousness, urging me to reform?”

“And now, for the sake of this divine power, you’re willing to let me go. Truly…”

A blush crept onto Purple Bamboo Abbess’s fair face, seemingly embarrassed by Fang Ling’s words.

She realized she had become obsessed, her mind entirely fixated on that divine power.

But it was one of the legendary ten divine powers of Buddhism. If she could obtain it, her future…

“Amitabha Buddha! It is true that I have succumbed to greed, but… so what?” A slight smirk appeared on Purple Bamboo Abbess’s lips.

At this moment, she seemed somewhat sinister, a stark contrast to her previous humble and compassionate demeanor.

“You wretch! Killing people to enhance your cultivation, you deserve to die a thousand, ten thousand times over!”

“Today, I will act on behalf of the heavens and the millions of cultivators in Boundless City to rid the world of you, this wretch!”

She shouted angrily, and a golden Buddhist wheel slowly rose behind her, accompanied by a surge of pure and powerful energy sweeping in all directions.

Fang Ling’s face darkened, his body tensed.

This wicked nun’s cultivation was incredibly high, even more terrifying than Fairy Li Jiang whom he had encountered in Wind Stone Gorge.

“I am but a humble nun, with a cultivation at the late stage of the Alkaid Realm!”

“If you repent now, I can still forgive you and save you from this sea of suffering!”

Purple Bamboo Abbess’s voice was sharp as she looked at Fang Ling.

Seeing no response from Fang Ling, she snorted coldly, “Stubborn fool!”

“Buddha’s Light Shines, Thousand-Handed Guanyin!” She sat cross-legged, and a Guanyin manifestation appeared behind her.

The manifestation’s eyes suddenly opened, gazing at Fang Ling.

Simultaneously, it raised its hand to suppress him.

In an instant, a thousand Guanyin hands descended upon Fang Ling, with an overwhelming force.

Purple Bamboo Abbess’s cultivation was too high; even Fang Ling dared not take this move head-on.

He was about to use the Divine Movement Step to distance himself from Purple Bamboo Abbess, but suddenly found himself unable to move.

Purple Bamboo Abbess had unleashed two divine powers at once.

Under the illumination of the Buddha’s light, he couldn’t even move a finger, and even his internal spiritual power was sealed.

At this moment, he could only watch helplessly as thousands of Buddha hands descended upon him.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

He was struck down to the ground by the Buddha hands, the terrifying force causing the ground to sink.

Countless palm prints were imprinted in the area, creating a spectacular sight.

In the clouds, Purple Bamboo Abbess clasped her hands together, eyes closed, “Amitabha Buddha!”

“This wretch’s sins are boundless. By granting him salvation, I have accrued boundless merit.”

She then slowly opened her eyes and approached the flattened Fang Ling.

She raised her hand, about to use a divine power to read Fang Ling’s memory and obtain the cultivation method of the Saramita Realm.

But at that moment, Fang Ling, who had been flattened into a pulp, suddenly revived!

His flesh and blood regenerated instantly, and he pointed a finger at Purple Bamboo Abbess’s waist.

Purple Bamboo Abbess gasped, immediately sensing something wrong with that finger.

“Wretch!” She roared in anger, slapping towards Fang Ling, “Diamond Wisdom Palm!”

“Galaxy Infinite Fist!” Fang Ling retaliated with a punch.

Fist met palm, and Fang Ling was sent flying.

Purple Bamboo Abbess also took a small step back.

She looked at Fang Ling in astonishment, her heart filled with shock.

“This little wretch’s cultivation isn’t high, only at the early stage of the Megrez Realm.”

“But his physical body is extraordinary, able to withstand my palm strike!”

Fang Ling, who had been sent flying, spat out three mouthfuls of blood before stabilizing his breath.

The difference in their cultivation was too vast. If not for his near-immortal body, he would have died under the Thousand-Handed Guanyin.

And that Diamond Wisdom Palm had almost taken his life.

At this moment, his Indestructible Heart was pounding furiously, operating at full capacity.

“The Galaxy Infinite Fist only made her take a small step back. It seems even the Sword Demon’s Three Styles won’t pose a threat to her.”

“Let’s try this move!” He stood up, a Companion Spiritual Treasure, the Xuanjin Heaven-Piercing Spear, forming in his hand.

“Kill!” He shouted angrily, unleashing the deadly weapon.

Purple Bamboo Abbess was surprised to see it.

With her experience, she could naturally sense that this weapon possessed innate energy, likely a Companion Spiritual Treasure.

“Golden Light Mantra!” Purple Bamboo Abbess chanted, her body glowing with golden light.

The Golden Light Mantra was an extremely powerful defensive divine power, offering near-impenetrable defense.

The Xuanjin Heaven-Piercing Spear charged forward, but she raised her jade-like hand to block it.

The spear, which had always been unstoppable, was blocked by Purple Bamboo Abbess.

“You wretch, you have some skills.”

“If I don’t eliminate you today, you will become a great scourge for the Southern Dipper Region!”

Purple Bamboo Abbess was about to use her ultimate skill, but her fair face suddenly turned purple, and she staggered, almost falling.

“This is… poison?” She quickly circulated her energy to suppress the toxin.

Fang Ling had known from the start that the Xuanjin Heaven-Piercing Spear wouldn’t harm her, so he had used it as a carrier.

The real killing move was the poison he had cultivated since childhood, which he had concentrated on the spear tip.

Although Purple Bamboo Abbess’s realm was high, Fang Ling didn’t believe she could withstand the poison.

First, she was hit by the Steal Fragrance Finger, and now she was poisoned.

At this moment, Purple Bamboo Abbess was too preoccupied to care about anything else.

Fang Ling didn’t take this opportunity to escape but charged straight at her.

She had set her sights on the Saramita Realm. If he didn’t kill her, there would be endless trouble.

“Manji True Art!”

A radiant Buddha wheel appeared behind him, even more dazzling than the one behind Purple Bamboo Abbess.

In his palm, a golden Manji symbol seemed to contain supreme truth.

“This is…” Purple Bamboo Abbess was stunned, staring at the Manji symbol in Fang Ling’s palm.

Fang Ling struck her chest with his palm, sending her flying.

Purple Bamboo Abbess’s body rolled a considerable distance before coming to a stop.

With a puff, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing that she had taken the hit but wasn’t dead, only slightly weakened, Fang Ling felt a heavy heart.

The Manji True Art was more powerful than the Galaxy Infinite Fist and the Sword Demon’s Three Styles, yet it only injured her slightly.

“It seems I can’t kill her today.” Fang Ling clenched his fists in frustration and immediately turned to leave.

Although he had a near-immortal body, his spiritual power was almost exhausted. Continuing to fight was pointless.

He would only end up being captured by Purple Bamboo Abbess, and if that happened…

Purple Bamboo Abbess saw Fang Ling retreat but didn’t immediately pursue him, as she felt extremely uncomfortable.

She sat cross-legged, fully focusing on suppressing the poison.

After a while, the poison was finally suppressed, and she was no longer in danger.

But to her dismay, her body was becoming increasingly strange, and no matter how she tried to suppress it, it had no effect.

A look of shame and anger appeared on her face.

“Damn it, how could I…”

The strange feeling grew stronger, and certain thoughts lingered in her mind.

She shook her head vigorously, looking in the direction Fang Ling had left, gritting her teeth, “Wretch! I’ll deal with you first!”
