Chapter 597: True Form Revealed
The Bodhisattva of Great Compassion remained unmoved, his body radiating Buddhist light, and his even more powerful aura suppressed Lu Zheng.
He wanted to see just how far this scholar, who was supposed to uphold righteousness, could go.
At the same time, several more literary artifacts appeared around Lu Zheng.
Each piece of writing implement, imbued with righteousness, trembled slightly, radiating a powerful and righteous aura that counteracted the Buddhist energy emanating from the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion.
Lu Zheng's gaze was intense, as if the sun were rising in his eyes.
Confucius said: ..."
The Bodhisattva of Great Compassion sensed something and subconsciously raised his eyebrows, looking up.
However, no special power was seen coming from the sky to directly bless Lu Zheng.
Some brilliant scholars, when reciting the words of sages, are able to directly receive the blessing of power from heaven, earth, Confucianism, and Taoism.
For a fleeting moment, the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion sensed a faint ripple in the sky, but it subsided again.
He could sense that it wasn't that Lu Zheng's cultivation was insufficient, but rather that this place was too remote, and also a place where Buddhism flourished, making it difficult to receive a response from heaven and earth when reciting the words of Confucian sages.
He couldn't help but chuckle and said, "This isn't Anguo. Your words, spoken by a sage, don't have that much power..."
Reciting the words of sages in this way will only hasten the depletion of Lu Zheng's literary talent.
Lu Zheng remained calm and composed. He could not draw upon the power of Confucianism and Taoism, but he still possessed a world within himself and the Sage's Silk Manuscript.
With just one thought, Lu Zheng's aura suddenly surged.
The surrounding Buddhist aura vanished instantly, and the oppressive force weakened in a flash.
Lu Zheng burst through the Buddhist temple with his literary artifact, then gripped Zhang Liang's hammer tightly, and a thunderous force flowed from his arm toward the iron hammer.
A hammer, imbued with purple lightning, slammed fiercely towards the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion.
With lightning speed, the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike, causing a golden Buddhist seal to appear out of thin air and collide with the thunder.
A sudden clap of thunder shook the others to their core.
Upon seeing this, the nearby monks scrambled away, their eyes filled with fear, their usual haughty demeanor completely gone.
The Bodhisattva of Great Compassion's expression darkened slightly. "You've gone a bit too far. Do you really intend to use your true skills against us?"
Because Lu Zheng was an outsider of unknown origin, yet possessed such pure and righteous energy, the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion did not immediately intend to kill him.
But seeing Lu Zheng's actions, which seemed relentless, made him somewhat unhappy.
Lu Zheng's gaze was cold. "You all practice Buddhism, but you practice false compassion. I can't reason with you today, so let's settle this with our fists. Whoever has the ability is right, how about that?"
"Arrogant and ignorant of one's own limitations."
The Bodhisattva of Great Compassion's eyes turned cold, and in an instant, the surrounding Buddhist energy surged, directly enveloping the area.
The Bodhisattva of Great Compassion clasped his hands together and recited scriptures.
The gentle Buddhist chants entered my ears, reaching straight to my mind and disturbing my thoughts.
Lu Zheng's heart pounded like a drum, his resolve unwavering, completely undisturbed.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Zheng, carrying several literary artifacts, transformed into a stream of light and rushed towards the Great Compassion Bodhisattva.
The Bodhisattva of Great Compassion remained calm, raised his hand, and unleashed a mysterious force, attempting to restrain Lu Zheng.
The two powerful forces collided and quickly neutralized each other.
Lu Zheng was unharmed. "It seems you are only at the sixth level of the Profound Realm. Your title of Bodhisattva is just an empty name. You have neither the heart of a Bodhisattva nor the realm of a Bodhisattva."
Upon hearing this, a hint of malevolence flashed in the eyes of the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion, as if a sore spot had been touched.
"To deal with you, the Six Realms are enough."
As he spoke, the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion radiated golden light, revealing a ten-zhang-tall Dharma image that looked down at Lu Zheng with a compassionate expression.
"My Buddha is compassionate!"
The Bodhisattva of Great Compassion raised his golden palm and grabbed directly at Lu Zheng. With this grab, an invisible force of heaven and earth pressed down upon him.
Seeing that Lu Zhengshang was capable of contending with him, the Great Compassionate Bodhisattva directly used the methods of the Profound Realm.
Before Lu Zheng, Tai Shi Jian shone with a radiant light.
Several war poems transformed into streams of light and entered Lu Zheng's body.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Zheng's momentum intensified, and with a single swing of his hammer, he displayed the power to shatter all laws.
The golden hand that had grabbed it withstood the blow, producing a deafening metallic sound.
Now, the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion felt somewhat embarrassed.
Several times, Lu Zheng blocked their attacks, each time underestimating Lu Zheng's abilities.
If he still can't defeat this young man after a few more moves, his reputation as the Great Compassionate Bodhisattva will probably be greatly diminished.
It's been a while since I've really fought anyone, I'm a bit rusty...
The Bodhisattva of Great Compassion couldn't help but try to justify himself in this way.
Thinking of this, the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion had a thought and directly took out a bone staff.
The bone staff, ten feet long, was entirely white and semi-transparent, with many fine lines on it. Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that it was made by piecing together pieces of bone and refining them.
These bones originated from the cremated remains of pilgrims after their deaths.
The remains of pilgrims possess pure Buddhist nature, which can be refined into an extraordinary Buddhist artifact.
Upon seeing the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion take out such a bone staff, Lu Zheng could clearly sense the aura emanating from it.
Lu Zheng's gaze immediately turned cold.
The Bodhisattva of Great Compassion holds a bone staff, activating the power contained within it.
A burst of colorful energy flew out from the bone staff and enveloped Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng did not hesitate for a moment, and the silk scroll in the Wen Palace trembled.
A wisp of saintly aura emanated from his body, instantly dissipating the colorful energy before striking the Great Compassion Bodhisattva.
The Bodhisattva of Great Compassion felt a chill for no apparent reason; it was a keen perception of danger.
He instinctively wanted to dodge and avoid it, but the image he revealed was a bit too large.
Before he could dodge, that wisp of saintly aura broke through the golden body and directly struck the Great Compassion Bodhisattva.
Even though the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion possessed many Dharma implements and practiced Buddhism, he was still somewhat overwhelmed by the attack of this saintly aura filled with pure righteousness.
He felt a powerful yet repulsive aura enter his body.
The Bodhisattva of Great Compassion hastily activated his Buddhist power to resist, causing his internal energy and blood to surge uncontrollably.
But a moment later, the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion's face became distorted, and he could no longer maintain his compassionate appearance.
But then the ten-foot-tall golden body disappeared, and a huge black dog appeared.
The black dog was as big as a house, covered in thick, dark fur, and looked somewhat like a black lion, but without a lion's tail, instead having a distinct dog's tail.
There were other monks nearby who were unable to escape the fight between the two.
Some people saw the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion suddenly transform from a golden statue into a large black dog and thought they were seeing things or hallucinating.
Some people stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with horror and fear.
Lu Zheng frowned. How could such a ferocious beast be hidden beneath this dignified and solemn exterior?
He could sense the aura of the Great Compassionate Bodhisattva emanating from this black dog. In addition to the strong Buddhist aura, there was also a hint of demonic energy that could not be concealed.
So it was a demon... Lu Zheng's gaze was deep and mysterious.
