Chapter 861: His Highness' Jealousy
Chapter 861: His Highness' Jealousy
The Honored Sir's pupils shrank abruptly when he heard it, as though he was in utter disbelief. Just as he tried to open his mouth and struggle...
His thorax was cleanly penetrated by the oncoming Phoenix Bone Scythe!
Holding the knife in her hand, Helian Wei Wei simply looked at him emotionlessly.
The Honored Sir's face gradually turned pale, but his expressions suddenly became agitated.
The golden lights lingering around his body grew fainter, as though they were being sucked away from him.
Phoenix howled roaringly above the Hall of Great Strength, it was the same sound it made when Sakyamuni's showered his Light of Buddha at Hell in the past.
All the Buddhas stared with their eyes wide open. Some of them attained the ranking of Buddha late, so they never saw Phoenix in action.
They had simply regarded the astounding power of Phoenix as a myth.
However, after seeing her today, they realized that they had underestimated her lethality!
She could manipulate the air currents with her palm, as Buddha spirits circled along the edge of her sharp scythe, creating a thunderous wave of energy that shook the Great Hall.
Amidst the growling winds, the Honored Sir could not defend himself and was flung out a few meters away.
This was the first time that the Honored Sir fell from his noble Golden Lotus Buddha's Throne in such a shameful way, being stabbed by Phoenix.
Blood was dripping furiously from the corner of his mouth. When he coughed, he spat out a mouthful of blood. However, he still glared spitefully at Helian Wei Wei, refusing to resign himself to this miserable fate.
With the scythe in her hand, Helian Wei Wei slowly walked toward him. Her cloak was blazing like fire, as if it could burn everything in this world into ashes. She looked down at the elderly, whose Light of Buddha had started to dim, and smirked as she jeered, "Didn't you used to hate my Evil Face? This is my Evil Face, my bones. The existence of Phoenix is to cleanse Buddhism. Since you found out about my destinies and knew about my Evil Face's purpose, you became afraid. You're scared that I will pull you down from your ranking of Buddhism one day, so you figure out a plan to utilize my destiny and allow Golden Lotus to take away my Dharma fate."
She continued, "You didn't want me to stay in Buddhism, and hoped that I would disappear completely. It doesn't matter even if everything is exposed, because you have your backup plans, no matter what happens. Unfortunately, you only knew about this. You didn't know that my Evil Face can deprive you of your ranking of Buddhism, and also sever your Buddha Soul. Of course, it's natural that you didn't know, since the only one who knows about it in this world is Sakyamuni. When he brought me up to Buddhism, I've promised him that I'll never kill a Buddha, unless Buddhism has strayed from its path. However, now... "
Helian Wei Wei lowered her eyes and coldly glared at the Honored Sir underneath her foot. When she saw that he tried to escape using the Art of Soul Evasion, she gave him another powerful stab!
After his last Light of Buddha was slashed, the Honored Sir helplessly watched his Buddha Soul breaking into fragments with trembling lips.
He never knew that Phoenix's Evil Face was her bones.
They were rebellious bones that were born in Hell and antithetical to Buddhism.
He had planned meticulously and predicted his fates, but he never knew that he would fail.
He was the Honored Sir, the one who kept Sakyamuni away from Buddhism's ranking for hundreds and thousands of years.
He was actually defeated by a lower three path's creature.
The Honored Sir looked at Helian Wei Wei, no longer hiding the viciousness in his eyes. He said as blood squirted out of his throat, "You... Ahem, you think you can live happily after killing me. Ahem, you're destined to never find love since the day you were born. If...if you behaved, stayed at Buddhism, and obeyed the orders, I wouldn't do anything to you. But unfortunately, you've such a strong pride and it made things turn out, ahem, turn out like this. It's still the same, you won't find happiness. Everything and everyone will approach you with an agenda. Those people with no agenda will never stay with you. You and Emperor, both of you, ahem, are destined to not last forever!"
After growling out his last words, the Honored Sir's ribs were instantly smashed into pieces.
His eyes widened in terror.
It was not Helian Wei Wei, but Baili Jia Jue. Looking down with his charming eyes, he exerted a powerful force, as his eyes turned golden like Tian Dao's gold.
Bang!
The Honored Sir's body was chopped through the middle, and his twisted face remained briefly mid-air, before falling onto the ground and becoming a murky splat of blood.
Helian Wei Wei simply stood there with her Bone Scythe remained unsheathed. Suddenly, she thrust the scythe and sliced upward!
Countless beams of Light of Buddha shone above the Hall of Great Strength, and fell on every Honored Buddha, like a rain of merciless blades.
In the blink of an eye, every Buddha Soul within 3,000 miles was utterly destroyed!
Honored Sir was completely atomized as well, every drop of his kindness and evilness disintegrated into ashes with a howl from the Phoenix.
The Buddhas' excruciating expressions seemed more terrifying than the ghosts in the Sea of Blood. After their souls were extracted and destroyed, their Buddha's bodies transformed into ashes.
With a powerful gust of wind, everything vanished and nothing remained.
The Son of King of Hell stood there coolly, and instantly looked outside the hall.
On the 999 stairs of Heaven, Light of Buddhas was still faintly visible on the heads of the Little Shamis that were meditating to protect the temple.
Mythical birds flew above the icebergs, as Bodhi rose from the earth. It was a miracle, where all the Buddhas returned to their ranking, and the Dharma fate of Sakyamuni would soon achieve oneness.
Buddhism started from the heart.
So, it turned out that Phoenix's existence in Buddhism was never for killing.
In fact, she was the only one who could help the True Buddha achieve oneness.
"Amitabha." All the Little Shamis were smiling at Helian Wei Wei, while looking bright and kind.
Meanwhile, Little Monk ran toward them and put his arms around Helian Wei Wei's waist. He was very petite, so he looked up to stare at Helian Wei Wei with bright eyes, "Lord, I knew you would come back!"
Helian Wei Wei smiled gently with a languid expression, saying, "Uhm, but I'm leaving now to the human world."
"Go then." Little Monk smiled and said. "I'll recite scriptures for you at Buddhism and pray for Buddha to look after you. But it's so weird, why am I still like this when all of my friends have become Buddhas?"
Seeing that Helian Wei Wei remained silent, Little Monk looked at his small hands and smiled again, adding, "I must not be working hard enough. I'll read the scriptures properly, and also clean the place that you lived in every day. You can still come back if you want."
Nobody uttered a word when they heard Little Monk, but they clearly knew that if Phoenix were to leave now...
It would be impossible for her to return to Buddhism.
She had used too much energy, and she was pregnant.
If she wanted to return to Buddhism, she must give up her children.
The Phoenix would never do this.
She wanted to take control of her own life, and do what she desired.
This was what Little Monk wanted to say, but he was too young and his intelligence was too shallow to understand what destiny was.
"I'll remember that you're in Buddhism." Helian Wei Wei lowered her head and rubbed Little Monk's head. Then, her last trail of memory of her escaping from her shell had returned. It was a small face that could tolerate everything in this world, how familiar indeed. She uttered quietly, "Sakyamuni..."
Little Monk did not hear clearly and asked, "Lord, pardon me?"
"Nothing." Helian Wei Wei pulled her hand back and looked toward Baili Jia Jue. Seeing that he was staring at the Little Monk who was hugging her waist, she could not help but smile. No wonder I felt a chill on my back just now, it seems like His Highness is getting jealous again.
Little Monk wanted to add something.
However, he was cut short by a cool and deep voice. "You don't need to read scriptures?"
Little Monk dared not argue with the Emperor, so he simply replied softly, "I want to send off my Lord, I can read my scriptures later."
"She's mine, does she need you to send her off?" asked Baili Jia Jue as he dragged Helian Wei Wei to his side. Then, he stared emotionlessly at Little Monk and continued, "If you keep procrastinating, when will you become Buddha? People around you have all become Buddhas, but you're still so small. Do you ever wonder why?"
Little Monk was agitated, but he contained his fury in silence as he glanced at him. Then, he muttered to Phoenix, "Farewell, my Lord. I'll go and read the scriptures now, I'll become a Buddha, I promise!"
After that, Little Monk ran away holding the Buddhist scriptures in his arms. Biting the tip of the pencil, he began to read the scriptures diligently.
Helian Wei Wei looked at his back with a faint smile on her face. Beneath the bright rays of light, everything seemed so serene and tranquil.
The Son of King of Hell touched his chin and tut-tutted, saying, "A Buddha indeed has a million faces, I think the Honored Sir can never speculate that Sakyamuni's Dharma fate has turned into Bodhi, and his real body is actually a kid."
Baili Jia Jue stood right beside him and spoke calmly with a smile, seeming gentle and graceful but his eyes were cold, "Kids are normally a hassle, especially this kid. I used to find him quite annoying. Turns out, there's a reason for it."
The Son of King of Hell was speechless. Hold on, Great Demon King, you're crossing the line if you want to kill him simply because of this.
However, the Little Monk was very afraid of the Great Demon King. What a poor kid, he doesn't even know how he annoyed him.
"Let's go." Helian Wei Wei looked up and landed a kiss on Baili Jia Jue's lips.
Only then, his eyes turned softer and his smile became more normal. Nonetheless, they could still sense the dangerous aura from him.
Especially when he walked forward while holding Helian Wei Wei, thousands of demons followed behind him, brandishing their claws while being unimaginably obedient to him at the same time.
The sky had turned onyx black. All his affection seemed to be reserved for one person. For everything else in the world, they would suffer his endless murderous and demonic aura...
He did not notice the deep sadness in Helian Wei Wei's eyes when she lowered her head.
That was the first time that Helian Wei Wei had shown this expression.
She always had ample confidence for everything she did, but she began to have scruples after seeing the last calculation of the Honored Sir before he died.
No matter what, she must hide it from him.
Perhaps from now on, she should nurture the relationship between the babies and him.
Basically, Helian Wei Wei always made prompt actions after she thought of it.
After returning to the carriage, she asked the man who was reading a book, to lean over and listen to the sounds in her belly.
However, he leisurely glanced at her and spoke with a serious face, "You're not in a good condition now and shouldn't have any intimacy, so stop seducing me."
Shocked by his reply, Helian Wei Wei was completely speechless...
