Chapter 972: Yuan Fu's Reinforcements (1)
"You talk too much nonsense!"
The two newly emerged green locust figures did not attack Lu Yi, but instead looked at him coldly.
Green Locust spread his hands, spewing dark green juice from his mouth, and shouted loudly: "Nonsense? What I just said are all wise sayings, my understanding of life, the universe, and the great way of heaven and earth... Every word is profound and meaningful... How can it be nonsense?"
"Isn't that just nonsense?" A fellow Green Locust roared loudly, "What is the relationship between heaven and earth perception and those things? We are born with the 'Tao body', and we are born to understand all the Tao that we should understand... We don't need to practice, we don't need to understand, as long as we have enough blood food, we can grow endlessly!"
Another fellow Green Locust shook his head and said with emotion: "We are born extraordinary and noble...but these tiny and pitiful 'humans' are born humble and weak, just like ants in the mud. They need to work hard to climb out of the mud bit by bit..."
"Understand the secrets of heaven, follow the way of heaven, eat the morning glow, drink the moon dew..."
A strange light also appeared in the green locust's huge compound eyes. He and two of his fellow tribesmen simultaneously folded their hands in front of their chests and exclaimed loudly: "Oh, what a fragile and tiny human being!"
Lu Yu shuddered.
He looked at the three weirdos who were singing arias with strange eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I can't believe you have the potential to be 'poets'?"
Lu Yi breathed deeply, inspiration from the outside world was pouring in, the imperial money in the five elements world in his body was burning, and the magic pills bestowed by Emperor Taiyao and White Snake were rapidly stimulating... Four hundred and eighty million acupoints were filled up little by little, and one after another scaly and claw-like Taoist patterns were like vines, winding and lighting up on the acupoints, and even swimming around the body.
"This guy is recovering his magic power!" The new Green Locust fellow coughed dryly: "Green Locust, you idiot, he is recovering his magic power, and you... actually gave him enough time to recover his strength... Have you become stupid?"
Green Locust raised his head and hissed, and a large stream of sticky body fluids came out of his mouth, which was not like a human, but more like an insect's mouthparts. He roared, "Bullshit... Bullshit, it stinks... Look at my head, it was beaten into this state by him... This guy may be the remnant of the Nalanda Ancient Temple... No, it's not a possibility, but it must be the remnant of the group of thieves from the Nalanda Ancient Temple... He may even be the reincarnation of an old thief!"
Qing Huang shook his head proudly: "I'm trying to get him to talk... I want to get him to talk and see who he really is."
"After all, if it were me alone, and if he really was the reincarnation of some old baldy villain, then I would most likely not be his match... But since you're here, then... let's join forces and take him down!"
Behind the green locust, the membranous wings spread out one after another. The transparent membranous wings vibrated violently, tearing the air apart and making a sharp whistling sound. The membranous wings flapped rapidly, and the sunlight in the void fell on the membranous wings, creating circles of colorful rainbows.
The two new alien species also opened the shells on their backs at the same time, revealing their transparent membranous wings, and began to vibrate rapidly.
Lu Yu weighed the Tianlong Zen Staff and took a deep breath.
The precious Buddhist treasures circling around him emitted various colored Buddha lights at the same time. The sound of Sanskrit chanting could be heard faintly. Several precious treasures exerted their own power. The bright Buddha light almost turned Lu Yi into a colorful sun, illuminating the void for tens of thousands of miles around him.
A new alien suddenly smiled and said, "Perhaps, you can choose to surrender?"
"Back then, your predecessors from the Nalanda Ancient Temple also made the same choice... and they are all living well now." The alien looked Lu Yi up and down and said softly: "Their bloodline is excellent... After they were transformed, they all became excellent 'seeds' of our race. The offspring they reproduced are very excellent!"
“No need to fight and kill.”
“No need for blood and sweat.”
“There’s no need to leave corpses everywhere and blood all over the place.” The alien said softly, “The ancestor of our race, the supreme ruler, engraved this supreme law in our blood - absorb all useful blood, absorb all outstanding intelligent individuals... let them all become the nourishment for our growth and strength!”
"The fact that you can drive these relics of the ancient Nalanda Temple is enough to prove your excellence!"
"With the three of us working together, you can't escape from our hands... So, why not make another, better choice?"
"Become a part of my clan and embrace a new destiny!"
"When you become one with my race, you will understand how wonderful and great it is... mediating the destiny, turning creation upside down, and reversing all the laws that you, the small and humble individuals, are familiar with."
"Perhaps this is the true 'transcendence' that you Buddhist disciples are pursuing... or perhaps, the true 'freedom' that those 'Taoists' in another cultivation system of your race are pursuing!"
"What does that sentence say?"
"Jumping out of the Three Realms and not being in the Five Elements! Isn't this the ultimate goal of your race, all the truly powerful cultivators?" This alien was obviously a hundred times more eloquent than the Green Locust. He smiled at Lu Yi and extended his right hand to him: "Give yourself a chance... and give us a chance too."
"If you practice hard on your own, how difficult will it be?"
"As long as you surrender to us, everything will be easy!" The alien took two steps closer to Lu Yi: "As long as you kneel down like your wise ancestors, then, bow your head, and offer your blood and loyalty... then everything will be within your reach!"
Lu Yi looked at the smiling alien and let out a long breath.
He suppressed the shock in his heart - these three alien races all tended to be talkative, and their seemingly simple chattering actually revealed too much shocking information. But now was obviously not the right time to be shocked!
Suppressing all the emotions in his heart, he showed a cynical and frivolous smile like Yin Yuan. Lu Yi took two steps towards the approaching alien, and the two of them got closer and closer, gradually reaching a distance where they were almost touching each other... At such a close distance, Lu Yi could even smell the strong smell of this guy... like the strange smell of mountains, forests, after rain, and thunder striking the void.
There was a strange smell mixed together, a smell that was caused by wood being struck by lightning, insects that were parasitic on old trees being turned into charcoal, and strong wood toxins being burnt and deteriorated by lightning.
Lu Yi had a rough idea in his mind - what kind of creatures were the green locusts and his tribe?
"Well, to be honest, aren't you here for Prince Yuanfu?" Lu Yi looked at the alien with a smile: "Why are you here talking so much, but you are coming for me?"
The green locust and its two fellows were stunned. They looked at each other, and their compound eyes stared at Yuan Fu at the same time.
"Hiss, that's right, ahem, our mission is him..." Qing Huang touched his head a little awkwardly: "Uh, I had so much fun chatting with you that I forgot about the serious things... ahem... But, in fact, he is not that important... We..."
There was a deep green light flashing in his compound eyes, and Qing Huang muttered in a low voice: "Hmm, hmm, is that so? He himself is unimportant. Those little bastards behind him are also unimportant... Hmm, tell me, tell me..."
The other two members of the Green Locust tribe also pretended to listen attentively.
In their compound eyes, large patches of green and blue Dao patterns were falling like flowing water and waterfalls... It seemed that certain people were transmitting a large amount of information to Qing Huang and his companions through the strange induction between their tribes and some unpredictable magical powers.
"Well, Yuan Fu is not important, and the little bastard behind him is also not important... a bunch of ignorant frogs in a well, a bunch of little toads, expecting to make a big move? Haha!"
"However, they may have touched something forbidden!" The expressions of Qing Huang and his two companions gradually became stiff and distorted, and from the solemn and cold silence, a strange madness gradually emerged, like a volcano that could erupt at any time.
"Well, something that shouldn't be touched... Poor little thing, his heart is as high as the sky, but his life is as fragile as paper... Hee!" Green Locust murmured: "Now, hand him over to us... Then, kneel down, bow your head, and offer your blood and loyalty..."
Dark green air currents rolled around Qing Huang and his two companions. Green air as thick as fingers crossed the sky, piercing through the void, corroding the avenue, and turning into a thick net that completely wrapped Lu Yi inside.
Lu Yi nodded seriously: "Yes, he is yours!"
Lu Yi turned around, grabbed the Yuan Fu, and passed it to the alien in front of him, who was almost face to face with him.
In the eyes of that alien, there were still Taoist patterns flashing like a waterfall, as if he was still receiving new information and new data. Lu Yi even wondered if there were also a few chatterboxes on the other end of the information they were receiving, complaining to them crazily?
The next moment, there was a Taimi Emperor Axe in Lu Yi's hand!
He swung the Taimi Emperor Axe with all his might, and struck the alien on the forehead with a solid blow. His face was stiff, and most of his attention was occupied. He slowly stretched out his hand, trying to catch Yuan Fu's hand.
Taimi Emperor Axe... the personal weapon of Emperor Taimi.
Moreover, this small axe is the treasure that Emperor Taimi used to prove his truth, protect himself, and subdue demons... It was a personal treasure that accompanied him throughout his growth to become the emperor. Later, after he became the supreme emperor, he gave it to his most beloved son as a protective item!
The unlucky prince died at Loulan Pass and fell into the underworld along with the ancient city of Loulan. After a lot of twists and turns, the imperial weapon finally became the property of Lu Yi.
Lu Yi had in his hands a large number of Buddhist treasures from the ancient Nalanda Temple.
However, Lu Yi vaguely realized that the Taimu Emperor Axe would be even more lethal to Qinghuang and his fellow tribesmen - the Tao of the Great Taimu Emperor was itself full of extreme attributes that rejected all "alien forces".
The Green Locusts and the others are undoubtedly a foreign race.
This Taimi Emperor Axe should be able to exert extraordinary lethality against them!
Just as Lu Yi expected, the Taimu Emperor Axe devoured 99% of the mana he had just recovered. The small, palm-sized Emperor Axe, which seemed to be made of colorful crystals, shone with a cold light and chopped the foreigner in front of him with a "clang" sound.
When Lu Yi made his move, the alien had already moved.
The membranous wings behind him vibrated rapidly, and his figure left a large afterimage. He wanted to break away from Lu Yi.
The Buddhist treasures around Lu Yi seemed to have seen their mortal enemy who had killed their father. The moment Lu Yi made his move, one after another of the precious Buddhist treasures shook, emitting tremendous Buddhist light and thunderous Buddhist chants. They even did not hesitate to sacrifice a bit of their own essence to increase their power with all their might, and all of them suppressed the unfortunate guy in front of Lu Yi.
The Taimi Emperor Axe turned into a ball of light, a ball of fire, a ball of extremely extreme, incomparably pure, terrifying energy that did not allow the slightest impurity to exist... high temperature, high pressure, high heat, high brightness... extremely extreme, extremely repulsive, full of the ability to cleanse and purify all the forces of "non-my kind" in the world, and slammed down fiercely.
The void around him was rippling. The alien race who was about to break through the void and escape was hit by layers of Buddha's light. The carapace on his body immediately emitted wisps of black smoke, and a large number of bubbles came out like pig skin burned by fire. Layers of Buddha's light washed over his body and stuck to him tightly. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free at all...
The Taimi Emperor's Axe hit him squarely on the forehead.
Lu Yi only felt that it was silky and smooth, just like using a red-hot kitchen knife to cut frozen lard. Wherever the blade passed, the alien's body was easily cut open.
Lu Yu's body moved with the momentum, and the great magical powers of Vajra Maha and Ming Wang's anger were activated at the same time. The ball of light, the ball of fire, and the extremely extreme energy transformed by the Tai Mi Emperor Axe drew a perfect attack arc, from the top of the alien's head to his lower abdomen.
With a "swish" sound, the alien's body split apart.
"I..." The alien stared at Lu Yi with his two large compound eyes, and a platinum-colored blazing flame spurted out of his mouth, along with a beautiful greeting to Lu Yi.
Afterwards, his body suddenly split to the left and right, and the strange power originating from Emperor Taimu exploded in his body, burning everything, purifying everything, destroying everything, and annihilating everything... His body, soul, and the rhyme of Tao in his body were all destroyed by Emperor Taimu's axe!
Qing Huang and his remaining companion finally came to their senses.
Qing Huang shuddered, stared at Lu Yi, and screamed at the top of his lungs: "You, lied to us? Didn't you agree that monks don't tell lies?"
Qing Huang and his companions simultaneously revealed distorted expressions of disbelief - something was wrong. How could Lu Yi, a guy wrapped in Buddha's light and surrounded by so many precious Buddhist treasures, not have any of the moral conduct that a proper monk should have?
Back then, when they were fighting with the old monks, big monks, and young monks of the Nalanda Ancient Monastery, those monks, no matter whether they were killed in the battle or surrendered halfway, no matter what their final choice was, they always said what they meant during the battle, never played tricks, and were always upright!
And Lu Yi, holding Yuanfu in his left hand, swung the axe with his right hand!
"Shameless!" Qing Huang finally found the word "shameless" from the depths of his memory.
"Shameless?" Lu Yi panted slightly, retracted the dimmed Taiyi Emperor Axe, and let it return to his mind to rest quietly. This attack drained Lu Yi's magic power, and even burned away the little power that Taiyi Emperor Axe had accumulated over the years.
Dozens of precious Buddhist treasures were suspended beside Lu Yi, their light was also dim, and they looked like they were dying.
Qing Huang and his two companions were truly great emperor-level masters, truly powerful beings… Lu Yi was able to kill one of them with one strike, not just because of a sneak attack, but also because the Taimi Emperor Axe and these Buddhist soldiers put all their strength and cooperated tacitly in this attack!
Otherwise, Lu Yi might be able to injure the opponent's flesh like Qing Huang did before, but he would not be able to really injure the opponent seriously!
Continuing to burn the Emperor's Coins like crazy, and urging the power of the Divine Pill in his body like crazy, Lu Yi smiled strangely: "It's a bit shameless... But, I never said that I was a Buddhist disciple! Look, I have hair on my head!"
Dark green light surged around Qing Huang and his companions, and they roared in unison: "But, out of all the Buddha treasures, you were chosen... You must be the reincarnation of a great Buddha... You shouldn't be so shameless!"
Green Locust and his companion used some strange magical power to connect the two people.
At this moment, the two had the same expression, the same movements, even the words they shouted were the same, and their voices were exactly the same... At this moment, the two of them had simply become two clones of the same living being...
In other words, at this moment, the souls and consciousness of Qing Huang and his companion completely merged into one. One complete consciousness was controlling two bodies that were essentially the same...
Lu Yi's scalp felt slightly numb.
He could imagine that if such a strange magical skill was used on the battlefield in a large-scale battle, the power of one or two Green Locust members would probably not be very powerful.
But if there are ten, a hundred, a thousand... their consciousness are integrated into one, their souls are integrated into one, and one complete consciousness simultaneously controls hundreds or thousands of bodies with the same blood and power... the combat power they can unleash is beyond Lu Yi's imagination!
"I admit that my behavior was a bit shameless... But since it has already happened, it is obvious that I am not the reincarnation of the so-called great Buddhist master of the Nalanda Ancient Temple as you imagined." Lu Yi sighed softly: "Well, although one of your companions died, putting aside the fact that he died, you also made mistakes in the process!"
The two Qinghuang were stunned: "What did we do wrong?"
Lu Yi said quietly, "Your fault is... there is no hatred between us. Why do you have to be so aggressive and threaten me?"
"You see, the mistake was caused by you... If you weren't so aggressive, how could I have made such an extreme choice?"
"So, the death of your companions is all your fault!"
"Shouldn't you be heartbroken and deeply repent of your mistakes?" Lu Yi smiled and talked eloquently, while frantically trying every possible means to restore his magic power which was exhausted again.
