Wu Tian was stunned and frowned, "What bet?"
Gu Tian laughed and said, "Let's have a life-and-death battle, but the premise is that outsiders are not allowed to interfere and the imperial soldiers are not allowed to be used. However, in this place, the imperial soldiers seem to be unable to revive. If you lose, you will leave your life behind, and if I lose, I will give you a treasure. Do you dare?"
"Ha ha!"
The little fellow laughed loudly, his eyes suddenly darkened: "You bald ass, your bet is really fair. If you lose, you will only get a treasure, but if the little emperor loses, he will have to pay with his life. You can even come up with such a condition. You are cheating me. Why don't you just bang your head against the wall?"
"My dear brother, you are doing this just to avenge Buddha, but you should know him best. Why bother to start a war for a hypocritical person?" Gu Guizi advised. Apart from this, he really couldn't think of any reason for Gu Tian to duel with Wutan.
On the other hand, he was also worried about Gu Tian. Although Wutan had just woken up from a serious injury, even he couldn't tell the depth of his true fighting ability. It would inevitably be a fight between dragons and tigers, and casualties were inevitable.
"No matter who the Buddhist disciple is, he is a disciple of my Gutuo Temple. How can he be killed by an outsider? Blood debt must be repaid with blood. It is only natural. Wu Tian, you still dare!" Gu Tian shouted with an aggressive look.
At this moment, the Buddha's light on his body dissipated, and was replaced by a vast black fog, which was steaming outside his body, like demonic energy, emitting an extremely gloomy aura.
"Little Emperor, you have just woken up and your injuries have not healed yet. You must not agree to this." The little fellow hurriedly advised him, and then took a step forward. The pressure of the wild beast burst out, overwhelming and pressing forward: "Since you want to fight, Lord Frog will accompany you!"
At this moment, the small body, which is only the size of a palm, is like a towering mountain, standing in front of everyone, and the invisible momentum makes people feel breathless.
"Be patient," Wutan leaned down, patted its little head, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I know what to do."
"you… "
The little guy looked up and stared at him, then retreated a little and sighed, "Hey! Be careful."
Wutan nodded, stood up, took two steps forward, and said lightly: "Tell me, what is your bet? I want to see what treasure it is that is more valuable than my life."
“Hehe, it’s not more valuable than your life, but it’s more important than your life, because this treasure is the Tianyin Fruit you’ve always dreamed of!”
Gu Tian raised the corner of his mouth and said something that caused a huge wave of shock in Wutan's heart, but he did not lose his mind because of this. He said in a deep voice: "Hearing is false, seeing is true. How can you prove whether what you said is true or false with just one sentence?"
"Ha ha!"
Gu Tian laughed loudly, full of disdain: "I, Gu Tian, have never known what is true and what is false. In my dictionary, there is only victory and defeat. As long as you defeat me, the Tianyin Fruit will be yours, and then you can see as much as you want."
Wu Tian’s face was as gloomy as water. Gu Tian’s meaning was very clear. Before defeating him, there would be no chance of seeing the Tianyin Fruit Gate.
Although Wutan has just woken up from a serious injury, as long as he sees the Tianyin Fruit, he will definitely nod and agree without hesitation. However, before he sees it with his own eyes, it is really difficult for him to judge whether what Gu Tian said is true.
The fact that he needed the Tianyin Fruit was no secret. Anyone who was interested could find out by investigating carefully. So Wu Tian couldn't help but suspect that Gu Tian was using his weakness to make him surrender.
"If you are really not satisfied, I can add another treasure, and you can have a sneak peek at this treasure." Seeing Wutan remained silent, Gu Tian thought he was not satisfied, so he flipped his hand and a broken sword appeared.
As soon as the sword came out, an extremely hot heat wave surged in all directions like a tide. Before it revived, its astonishing edge had already torn apart a large area of the void!
"Ethereal Sword?" Wu Tian asked in surprise.
"Hehe, yes, this is exactly the half of the Kongling Sword that Yan Zong lost in the ruins a thousand years ago. With this, are you willing to accept my challenge?"
"How did you know that I needed the ethereal sword?" Wutan said in a deep voice.
"I don't know the rest, I just know one thing, the other part of this sword once killed your lover, am I right?" Gu Tian looked at him lazily with a smirk on his lips, as if to say, I have you in my grasp, and you can't disagree.
“Haha, since you insist on doing so, why not I fight with you?” Wutan smiled, his expression relaxed and natural, as if he didn’t take the other party to heart at all.
"Seal the great blockade!" Wutan waved his hand, and the great blockade ban fell down with a bang. The purple cage instantly enveloped Gu Tian.
"It's just a ninth-level confinement. It will be destroyed with a single move. Break it!"
Gu Tian shook his head to show his disdain, and opened his mouth to use the Buddhist Lion's Roar, which sounded like a huge bell and even more like a thunderclap, deafening. The confinement immediately collapsed inch by inch, and in just a few breaths, it turned into nothingness!
"Capture the dragon and trap the phoenix, suppress it!"
Wutan did not give him any chance to breathe. With a wave of his hand, a trap that was even stronger than the great blockade covered his head. A vast white space immediately appeared in Gutian's sight, trapping him.
"The six-word mantra of my Buddha has infinite mysteries. It can suppress all evil things in the world and purify the root of all sins. Today, I will let you witness the power of the first word!"
At this moment, Gu Tian changed his previous ruffian look and transformed into a devout Buddhist, his robes fluttering in the wind, his face solemn and dignified, and he was muttering to himself.
Suddenly, the golden pupil in Gu Tian’s right eye, like a small golden sun, burst out with Buddha’s light. His whole body was bathed in a sea of golden light, like a golden arhat, solemn and sacred!
“Buzz!”
A golden Buddha appeared in Gu Tian's golden eyes, and then rushed out of his eye sockets. Then it quickly grew larger, like a small mountain, floating above his head. The Buddha opened his mouth wide, and a golden "Om" shot out from his mouth!
This word contains the true meaning of Buddhism and possesses supreme power. As soon as it appeared, an unpredictable force swept across the ten directions like a tsunami, and the space created by the Dragon Capture and Phoenix Trapping was instantly annihilated!
"It's actually the 'Om' of the six-syllable Buddhist mantra. How strong is this person's attainment in Buddhism?"
The confinement was broken, and the scenery inside appeared in everyone's sight. When they saw the large golden words in the air, Murong Feichang and others' faces changed drastically.
Gou Yaolong was shocked and said, "It is said that the six-character mantra was created when the Buddha attained enlightenment, comprehended the great way of heaven and earth, and glimpsed the origin of all things. It is a peerless magical power. Every word contains the highest true meaning of Buddhism. As long as you thoroughly comprehend one word, it is no less than any other magical power!"
Even Cang Zheng, who was always arrogant and conceited, could not help but nod his head and say, "It is rumored that only the monk Dipankara from Gutuo Temple thousands of years ago, who sat in meditation for thousands of years, finally comprehended the first three words of the six-word mantra. At that time, he defeated countless peerless heroes with just these three words and achieved supreme fame. It is still rumored to this day!"
"It's a pity that the monk Dipankara was like a blooming firework, brilliant and dazzling, but only for a moment, and then disappeared without a trace. No one knows his whereabouts, not even the current abbot of Gutuo Temple. People have been sent to look for him for hundreds of years, but to no avail," Murong Fei said with regret.
"Gu Guizi, could your cousin be a disciple of the monk Ran Deng? Or has he inherited his legacy?" Shen Xi asked doubtfully.
Gu Guizi shook his head: "I never asked about Gu Tian's whereabouts, but I don't agree with your guess. The monk Dipankara's understanding of Buddhism has reached the pinnacle. Although Gu Tian can manifest the word "Om", it only has its form, not its meaning, and it is very clumsy. If he is a disciple of the monk Dipankara, he would definitely not be able to reach this level after fifteen years."
When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement. Gu Tian had been in the Gutuo Temple for fifteen years. If he was really a disciple of the monk Dipankara, his attainments in Buddhism would definitely not be limited to this.
However, unlike Gou Yaolong and others, when Wutan saw this word, an inexplicable anger suddenly emerged, and murderous intent evaporated in his eyes, because the mysterious man who rescued Chi Yanzi had used this trick when fighting the Great Venerable.
The drop of ice-cold tear that Chu Yiyan shed before her death brought him warmth, as if it was forever engraved on his heart, and he could never forget it no matter how hard the wind blew, how much rain fell, or how many years passed.
"Nine transformations of Shura, kill!" Wutan's eyes turned bloodshot, and with a wave of his hand, the killing-banned Nine transformations of Shura came down with a bang, and the bloody Shura King appeared out of nowhere.
This was his last forbidden talisman, and he had been planning to keep it for emergency use. However, when he saw the so-called "Om", a surge of rage instantly overwhelmed his mind. Now he had only one thought in his mind, which was to kill Gu Tianzhen!
"My murderous intent will destroy everything!"
King Shura was covered in blood, his eyes were full of ruthlessness and indifference. As he opened his eyes, a stream of blood-colored air swept out. It was all condensed from murderous thoughts, like a river of blood. Corpses were floating in it, evil spirits were howling, and the murderous aura was so terrifying that one could even smell the strong smell of blood!
"The sea of suffering is endless, turn back now!"
Buddha's light gushed out, the ancient sky was solemn and dignified, the Buddha with a golden robe on his head had a kind face and compassion for the people, as if he had intelligence, with his mouth slightly open, and a majestic and magnificent force rolled up the word "Om" in front of it and rushed towards the blood river!
With a loud bang, a huge explosion took place in this place. Terrifying air currents swept in all directions like an invisible storm. Gou Yaolong and others' pupils shrank, and they retreated quickly without thinking, for fear of being caught in the disaster!
They were horrified in their hearts. The fighting power of these two people was so terrifying that it completely exceeded the limits of the perfection period.
Brilliant golden light and surging bloody light each occupied half of the sky. Neither of them gave in and they madly devoured each other. Their terrifying might and murderous intent seemed to tear apart this piece of space blessed by divine power. They became stronger and more shocking!
If it were to be a different battlefield, there is no doubt that the situation would be like the end of the world, with rivers and seas turning upside down, mountains collapsing and the earth cracking.
