The courtyard wall collapsed, big trees fell down, smoke, dust and leaves filled the air and fell to the ground. The Buddha's palm that was pressed on the ground was lifted up again with mud and gravel, and there was another loud sound of metal clashing in the air.
Sun Wukong flipped backwards holding the stick and landed on the roof of the temple. The stick flew to the side of his back with a buzzing sound. He turned his head and saw a figure lying in the mess in the courtyard.
"Lu Liangsheng, is he dead?!"
Crash—
The thatched hut and stone debris had fallen, leaving a mess in the ruins. Lu Liangsheng slowly climbed up, his hair hanging down, his cloak intact, but the blue shirt underneath was slightly torn. He raised his hand to wipe a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, raised his eyes and forced a smile towards the monkey in golden armor on the top of the temple.
"How can he die so easily? The Great Sage has come at a good time. How about joining forces?"
"Hehe... join forces?"
On the top of the temple, the monkey grinned, spun the long stick in his hand, held it horizontally at his side, and shouted softly: "Okay!" The tiled roof of the temple shattered, and his body rolled up wind and thunder and soared into the sky.
"Old Tathagata, I, Sun, will ask for your skills again!"
Sun Wukong roared loudly and rushed towards the huge shadow filled with peaceful Buddhist light. He swung the golden cudgel in his hand and smashed it hard on the opponent's arm.
Almost at the same time.
Lu Liangsheng in the courtyard below jumped onto the roof of the temple, pinched the sword with two fingers, pulled it, straightened the bent sword, and threw it into the night sky.
"You come and raid the formation!"
Watching the magic sword fly away, the scholar raised his eyes and saw the tiny monkey and the huge Tathagata fighting each other. He reached out and grabbed the cloak, opened it bit by bit, then threw it aside and slowly closed his eyes.
Under the moonlight, rays of light lit up from the scholar's back and shoulders, connecting them one by one along the skin. Bifang, Xuangui, Xihen, Qinchong and Si turned into stars. In the middle of the scholar's back, the constellation with a human head and a dragon body slowly opened its eyes along with the scholar.
The night sky suddenly became brighter, spreading the darkness in all directions with Lu Liangsheng as the center, just like daylight!
The huge mountain-like figure, with its golden Buddha light all around it, did not seem so dazzling in the daylight. Lu Liangsheng leaped onto the roof of the temple with a swish, and using his feet to gain leverage again, the temple was shaking.
His figure drew a long arc in the sunlight and slammed down the sweeping Buddha's palm. "Great Sage!" Lu Liangsheng shouted softly, and the monkey on the other side glanced at him sideways.
Then, one on the left and one on the right ran along the Buddha's huge arms.
"Monkey, you dare to be so presumptuous instead of sincerely repenting at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain!"
The majestic Buddhist sound like a bronze bell echoed between heaven and earth. Tathagata crossed his arms and pushed the Buddha's palm directly towards the man and the monkey. Sun Wukong shouted "Uh-ah-" and raised his hand to hit his palm with a stick. Lu Liangsheng stepped on the ground and turned into a residual image, sliding sideways through the gap under the pushing Buddha's palm. He clenched his fist suddenly, and one of the stars on his body emitted a magical light. Suddenly, an excited roar exploded, and a huge phantom appeared around the scholar.
“Ouch—”
The creature with a green horn and a strong bull body raised its horn towards the crossed Buddha's palms, causing ripples. The moment the shadow disappeared, a snake's body and a wolf's head appeared under Lu Liangsheng's feet, carrying him and swimming rapidly. Its palms turned red and white, and were filled with fire and cold air. The power of mountains and seas, and the magic power of the righteous way of heaven and earth suddenly burst out.
The head covered with Buddha's light turned its face at this moment, and a short Buddhist sound of "Om" was uttered.
boom!
The red and white energies pushed out by the scholar's palms collided with the Buddha's sound in mid-air and instantly dimmed. The terrifying air waves shot out and spread into a large circle, and the refraction of the skylight became distorted.
Golden light was everywhere, and strong winds were blowing the hem of his robe. Lu Liangsheng sank his feet, pressing down the insect to steady his body in the Buddha's light. A phantom of a black tortoise appeared behind him, and the snake head took advantage of the situation to bite Tathagata's arm tightly.
The next moment, the scholar's palms struck out wildly, and burning fireballs and frost balls shining with Dharma light flew out from his palms continuously, densely filling the sky, illuminating the Tathagata's arms, chest, and head like a rainstorm, the light flickered wildly, and exploded on the huge body of the Buddha one after another, causing circles of golden ripples.
“Beep!”
Buddhist chants echoed around the room, and in the midst of dense red and white light balls pouring down, Lu Liangsheng stopped the two forces of Black Turtle and Bifang, pinched his fingers to block the attack, his body trembled suddenly, and he stepped on his arms and moved back two feet.
"Hum!"
The Buddhist sound sounded again, and a phantom with spread wings blocked the scholar's way. Lu Liangsheng's soul was still shaken by the sound, and his feet slipped and fell downwards. The Yuelong Sword fell straight down, flew horizontally to the scholar's back, and landed on the ground.
At this moment, there was a fierce and rapid fight on the other arm. For a moment, the monkey tilted his head and looked at the figure falling below, and saw a stream of blood, which was quite dazzling in his eyes.
"Lu Liangsheng!!"
Sun Wukong gritted his teeth and roared, swept away the Buddha's palm with a stick, and rushed directly towards Tathagata. The air was filled with the sound of wind and thunder as he swung the stick. Sun Wukong flashed in the Buddha's sound and stopped in place. The next moment, his figure disappeared and another figure of the monkey suddenly floated in the air. He swung the stick, and there were several "bang" sounds in succession, and the last one landed directly on Tathagata's little finger.
With a bang, the monkey was shocked and flew backwards. The Buddha's palm swept over, and the five open fingers grabbed Sun Wukong who was flying in the air and held him firmly in his hand.
"Monkey head, for the sake of the Mother of Mount Li, I spared you before. Now... destroy your demon body and let me save you."
"Like... come... old man, you lied to me before, lied to me!!"
Sun Wukong gritted his teeth and roared, trying hard to break free from the restraints, however, the Buddha's palm that was holding him tighter and tighter, and the magic power that maintained his body began to become unstable.
This was originally an external body that was transformed by the magic power transmitted from the Liangjie Mountain in the northwest of the Great Sui Dynasty. The monkey was unable to display many of his abilities and was somewhat unwilling to be captured in the Small Thousand World of the Buddha Kingdom.
At this moment, a different smell permeated the ground below.
Lu Liangsheng, who was holding down the Yuelong Sword, slowly opened his eyes. The Qilin cloak on the ground floated over and covered him. The scholar got up from the ground, looked up at the struggling monkey and the image of Tathagata with a thousand-foot-high Buddha light.
"Hehe... How could our national teacher... fall here..."
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and reached out to wipe the seal in his sleeve pocket. A few strands of black hair showed white marks among his flying hair. As he spoke, Lu Liangsheng leaped up, broke through the obstruction of Buddha's energy, and soared into the sky. Tathagata over there naturally sensed it. He turned around and saw a figure dragging a cloak rushing into his sight. The Yuelong sword in his hand flew out with a clang. Tathagata raised his hand and waved it, knocking the flying magic sword away.
Suddenly, something stepped on the back of the waving Buddha's palm. Lu Liangsheng took a heavy step and pushed off. He used the force to leap again and approached the Buddha's head. There was a seal in his hand.
“Ahh—”
The scholar flew across the sky, his hysterical roar resounding between heaven and earth like thunder, and his hand holding the seal was raised high.
“Tathagata!”
Angry shouts cut through the sky, his robes fluttering, Lu Liangsheng holding the Kongtong Seal and shining it on the top of the Dharma image's head, smashing it down angrily.
Bang!
The seal landed heavily on the bun on Tathagata's head, and the next moment, Buddha's aura overflowed.
