Currently, Tai Jian, the Great Monarch of Taishang Sword Sect was a peerless being in the late stage of the Quasi-Sage Realm. He was Nine Leaf Sword Grass who obtained Dao and used to be brought around by Taishang Saint Lord.
His nature was sky-defying as his talent was unparalleled.
With his peerless swordsmanship, his attacks were unparalleled.
From the sword slash that he performed just now, even Saint Lord would’ve had to temporarily retreat when faced with such an attack. Who in the world could withstand it head-on?
However, the result was not only beyond Tai Jian’s expectations, but also caused many experts who were watching the battle to be dumbfounded.
Not only did Jiang Ming fight head-on, he also did not put up any defense.
In the end, nothing happened to him at all.
This completely subverted the expectations of all the experts.
Not only Tai Jian’s mind was sent trembling.
Even a great existence like the Heavenly Buddha almost cursed out of shock.
However, the Heavenly Buddha was quick to react. Seeing that Tai Jian was about to be killed, he pointed a finger, which pierced through the void, and appearedin front of Tai Jian as a golden yet thick finger, blocking off the Return of Infinite Law Finger technique.
Boom…
Blinding golden luminance exploded as the torrents swept through the surrounding area.
Tai Jian, who was also startled by the sudden exchange, retreated himself quickly.
Heavenly Buddha’s finger had some cracked on it. The finger that he had used to block off the attack had golden blood on it as the finger returned to its owner. As he lifted his hand and looked at his finger, the index finger on his right hand was full of cracks. He was unable to help but marveled, “What I have here is the finger of the Immortal King Kong Buddha. To think that it was almost cripple. Little friend Jiang Ming…”
He sat cross-legged on the golden lotus, swept across the void and soon came to Tai Jian’s side. As he looked at Jiang Ming, he smiled compassionately and muttered, “That one finger attacking technique of yours just now, had three thousand Daos, three thousand laws, and the rules of the universe integrated into one. If you were in the Great Overarching Realm, with one finger just now, you could’ve pierced through the Abyss and the heaven at the same time. Such special ability can no longer be described as mind blowing, but should be described as a single finger pointed out marks the end of the era, unparalleled by anyone! ”
Such an evaluation of a person’s technique that came out directly from the mouth of the Heavenly Buddha, was simply too high.
“Flattering me? Well, it doesn’t matter. However, you actually stopped me from killing my sworn enemy.” Jiang Ming looked at the Heavenly Buddha with a very solemn expression, “Do you know what this means?”
“It’s easier to make enemies than to resolve a grudge!” Heavenly Buddha smiled as he continued, “With the Heaven Court fallen and the Heavenly Emperor perished, coupled with the fact that it’s time to take care of the catastrophe in the Abyss, why should we cling to such a family feud and give the Great Demon Venerate a chance to snicker?”
“Tai Jian, how about putting all these down?”
He turned to look at his old friend.
“Thanks a lot just now!” Tai Jian clasped his fists and cupped his hands with an inexplicable look on his face.
Even until now, he still felt palpitations.
His unwavering will that stood strong for eternity even started to sway.
He almost died just now. He was really going to die. If it weren’t for Heavenly Buddha’s intervention, he would’ve definitely died.
To think that he, the monarch of the Taishang Sword Sect, the disciple of the Saint Lord, who ran rampant through the archaic, ancient modern and even current time was almost killed by a younger generation.
Humiliation and despair suddenly filled his heart, leaving a disgusting taste in his mouth.
However, he quickly suppressed the many thoughts of his.
As his eyes gleamed, Tai Jian was able to clearly see the hidden meanings behind the Heavenly Buddha’s eye, but muttered with great hatred, “Since the Heavenly Buddha has spoken, I’ll let go of it this time and settle with him next time around!”
“Great virtue!!” Heavenly Buddha smiled and nodded. He then looked at Jiang Ming again, “Little friend, how about you?”
“Little friend?” Jiang Ming sneered, “You stopped me from killing my mortal enemy, leave me a peerless expert who may kill me at any point and still condescendingly call me a “little friend”. Heavenly Buddha, who gave you such confidence?”
“Little friend, the human world has already suffered endless catastrophe, why do you need to cause more?” Dragon Monarch, who was wearing a golden robe, also paced over with his hands behind his back. His eyes were cold and indifferent, “If you are not willing to give face to Heavenly Buddha, then give face to me and let this skirmish be done with!”
“Ha! Ha! Ha!” Jiang Ming laughed three times and stopped abruptly. His facial expression was extremely indifferent as he muttered, “To even refer to me as a ‘little friend’, are you perceiving me as a young person that is easy to be deceived or did I kill too few Venerates? You, as an old dragon, only know to use your age to feel superior. Give face to you? What do you even amount to? Sooner or later you will be my meal on a plate!”
“What a short temper!” Dragon Monarch’s anger flashed through his face.
If it wasn’t for himself having great self-restraint, he would have already made a move.
Of course, what he felt more was fear.
However, considering that he was the Dragon Clan’s monarch, his status had always been high since ancient times, even to present. Even the former Saint Lord had to treat him with courtesy, but now he was publicly humiliated by a human child. How was he not to be angry!
His killing intent grew even more intense.
“I’m sure that you will die sooner or later because of this!” Dragon Monarch gave his verdict.
Jiang Ming ignored him and instead looked at Vermillion Bird who was also pacing over, “You want to stop me too?”
“Young man, it’s easy to burn into ashes by the flame of anger!” Vermillion Bird was clad in a red coat, with flames burning behind her. She looked like a mere 18-year-old young maiden, but her eyes were of extreme vicissitudes.
No warmth could be felt from her smile.
Tai Jian watched silently, with a look of surprise.
The Heavenly Buddha remained cheerful while being covered in golden luminance.
A stream of light flickered above Dragon Monarch’s head before materializing into thunder for a split second, transforming into vast ocean and even became a scene of pure chaos, as though he was someone not to be messed with.
Yu Fei who was in the distance on the other hand, couldn’t help twisting her waist as she raised her jade-like finger and sucked it in her mouth.
It looked as though she was sucking on a stiff hard lollipop, savoring its great flavor.
“What will this kid choose?” Yu Fei whispered to herself with a look of excitement, yearning to have a go at him, “If he does, it might even make me shudder! But this is so worth looking forward to!”
“Such a juvenile young face, such exuberant vitality, such a powerful cultivation base, such peerless techniques. To top it off, he is even an elegant and handsome human race. Tsk tsk tsk! He’s really tantalizingly mouth-watering!”
“I can’t help it!”
She twisted her body around as if she was suppressing some kind of flowing crystalline from oozing out of her.
Riyue Changfeng on the other hand, placed his hands behind his back, as he allowed the windy breeze to caress himself.
He looked over at Jiang Ming with amazement.
He then took a glance at Heavenly Buddha and the other experts again, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.
‘This is becoming interesting!’
A futon suddenly appeared behind him. As he sat down, a low stool appeared in front of him and even had cups with teapots appearing on top.
The great aroma of the tea had already lingered around the surrounding area as he poured himself a cup and took a sip.
“Yummy!”
Riyue Changefeng continued slurping and sipping away.
He was preparing to honestly watch a big play.
Jiang Ming took a glance around. With his intelligence, how could he not see that these few were bullying him and even wanted to trigger him into acting violently before taking the stand and killing him in the name of justice?
Their intentions were also clearly recorded on the Human Path Record.
Heavenly Buddha was now the Lord Buddha of Buddhism.
Back then, he was an extremely cruel Six-winged Golden Cicada. Having hunted and killed who knew how many creatures, he even fought against the Lord Buddha who had yet to become a Holy Buddha Venerate at that time. He wanted to swallow his opponent whole, but ended up being subjugated as expected.
After he was being forcefully subjugated, the Lord Buddha used the Buddhism and Taoism techniques to remove his aura of death before accepting him.
Later, he followed the Holy Buddha Venerate who founded the Fo Sect and became the second Lord Buddha himself. He was now the only Lord Buddha left.
He came here because he found out that Jiang Ming was growing too fast and that he would become a great threat to him. He also wanted to find out about the secrets of Jiang Ming and wanted to find an excuse to kill him.
As for Dragon Monarch, there wasn’t much to say about him. Other than being yet to sanctify his way of Dao, his life was filled with moments of brilliance. The Dragon Clan was the most prosperous and powerful in the world. Very few dare to provoke them.
As for Vermillion Bird?
Jiang Ming saw some weird information.
For example, the former Princess of the Demon Holy Palace was injured when she tried to kill the former Heavenly Emperor. When she was on her way back to heal her injuries, she was plotted and died. As a result, Vermillion Bird took over the Demon Holy Palace.
The Demon Holy Palace was very strong and it was a Sacred Land for all the demons in the world.
But they had now lost two Venerates, namely Bi Jiu and Thousand Snake Demon Venerate.
“You are all just afraid that I will advance further and threaten your status. So you all are joining forces to kill me!” Jiang Ming sneered, “I will give you a chance today to see if you can actually kill me!”
“However, I have a suggestion for you all as well! I am the person who holds grudges the most, and I will even make sure to avenge my revenge. Think about it. Once you make a move, then it’s till death we shall part!”
“If you can’t kill me, I will make sure to annihilate your entire sect or clan in the future. Don’t you ever doubt that I can’t do so! But if you kill me, everything will be over!”
“If you don’t want to be my enemy, then retreat! Otherwise…”
Jiang Ming smiled, revealing the two rows of his white teeth.
