Chapter 5252: The Fall of the Ice-Bound Ghost Monk
while, many irregularly shaped ice crystals appeared on the ground, resembling strange stones arranged there. The cold wind was biting, but with their cultivation as Foundation Establishment cultivat...Lu Xia Tian also seized this rare opportunity, his body dissolving into the Buddha's light. Shi Jing Xianjun was powerful, but he wasn't so strong that he could do anything.
Though the opponent was able to suppress Lu Xia Tian in this situation, they could not contain the immense Buddhist energy within the whirlpool.
Inside the vortex, countless wisdom roots and Buddha bones shimmered, the aura of Vajra relics grew stronger and stronger. Lu Xia Tian also took advantage of this powerful aura to escape into the vortex. "Damn it!" Shi Jingxian's face turned ashen. He thought he had a sure thing, but Lu Xia Tian still escaped. If he had only escaped a short distance, it would be fine, but now he had entered the vortex. The energy inside was something even Shi Jingxian feared.
Under the gaze of everyone, Shi Jingxianjun also felt his face burning hot at that moment.

While the Qing Shi Luohan, Man Du Bodhisattva, and Bing Qu Gui Seng were still struggling inside the Tian Qiong Shi Di formation, they were dumbfounded.
Especially the Bingqu Ghost Monk, he had already wanted to enter Lu Xiaoteng's Qingguo barrier. According to his thoughts, as long as he could live and leave, following Lu Xiaoteng might not be worse than being with Miexin Ancient Buddha.
His martial arts had been pushed to the limit, and he desperately needed to learn more profound Buddhist scriptures to perfect his own system. Even Manjushri Bodhisattva and Qing Shi Luohan were acceptable, after all, these two were most loyal to Miexin Ancient Buddha. Bing Qu Ghost Monk was too self-serving, and didn't enter the Qingguo Barrier. On one hand, he feared Miexin Ancient Buddha and worried that if Lu Xiaotian ever encountered Miexin Ancient Buddha, he would be ostracized both inside and outside.
On the other hand, it's also felt that Shi Jingxian has already taken action personally. Lu Xia Tian's chances of surviving are slim, and following him is too risky and unpredictable.
I should have considered that Lu XiaTian could escape from Shi Jing Xianjun's grasp earlier.
Now that Lu Xia Tian is gone, the rest of them are left to face the wrath of Shi Jing Xianjun.
Dongfang Dansheng actually escaped Compared to Bing Qu ghost monk, Rong Yuan demon monk and several others from Yu Xuan Tian Ting, they were even more surprised.
Even though the Yuan Rong Demon Monk boasted of his experience escaping from a celestial immortal-level expert, he had still paid a price. However, Lu Xiaoteng simply escaped without any loss, not even a single hair out of place.
Without Lu Xia Tian, Shi Jing Xianjun's immense anger shifted to the Ice Qu Ghost Monk and his companions. As for Rong Yuan Yao Seng and other powerful figures, they still needed to team up with Yu Gu Yu Mo to completely crush the Skeleton Buddha Army, so they couldn't spare their hands for the moment.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh, a large number of stone spikes zipped through the air, completely isolating Manjushri Bodhisattva, Qingsi Arhat, and Bingqu Ghost Monk inside.
Mandala Bodhisattva's body was surrounded by a blooming sea of mandalas, his form disappearing and reappearing within the flower sea. Continuously, swathes of mandala flowers were pierced by stone spikes into honeycomb patterns.
Even the Buddha's shadow dissipated one after another, but the figure of Manjushri Bodhisattva transformed into a lotus flower, swiftly moving within this sea of flowers.
Manjushri Bodhisattva's cultivation level wouldn't dare to directly confront Shijing Immortal Jun, so he chose to use this sea of flowers as a cover.
Clashing with Shi Jingxian was like hitting a rock with an egg, but within this sea of flowers, he still had a certain degree of autonomy.
The sea of flowers gathers and disperses, appearing chaotic and disorganised. Yet, it expands outwards at a startling pace.
The Green Lion Arhat then transforms into a green shadow, much like the sea of lotuses. Only the manner is different.
The Ice-Bound Ghost Monks were a swirling mass of ice mist and stone energy, locked in a stalemate. Shi Jingxian, the Immortal Lord, frowned. These three juniors combined weren't even enough for him to fight. But none of them seemed interested in a head-on confrontation. They were all decisive, knowing that someone would inevitably fall here. At this moment, they would split up and flee, even if several of them were weaker than Shi Jingxian. It was unrealistic to want to keep all of them here now.
We already have Lu Xia Tian, so at least two more out of these three should be kept.
Shi Jingxian's face turned cold, but he only casually chose two to focus his attack on.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh, a large number of purple-blue stones gathered, forming a mountain that crushed towards the ice mist and the mandala sea. "Damn it!" the Ice Demon Monk cursed. They had known from the start that not all of them could escape this place alive. They scattered to escape, whoever survived would depend on luck, it was up to Stone Jing Xianjun who he chose not to target. Only Lu Xiaotiān escaped thanks to Stone Jing Xianjun's special attention and his own strength.
Of the three of them, two had already been targeted by Shi Jingxianjun, and it was almost certain they would be defeated here. Bing Qu ghost monk felt a surge of bad luck while also experiencing an inexplicable panic in his heart. His mind was in disarray, facing such a powerful figure as Shi Jingxianjun, there was no good outcome to be expected. Boom! The mountain above crushed down directly, instantly causing the icy mist to swirl with energy. Bing Qu ghost monk could no longer hide within the mist as before and was forced to reveal himself.
The Ice-Cleft Ghost Monk's eyes were dead grey. He knew where the problem lay. Escaping from a powerful being like Stone Jing Immortal and daring to be distracted was no different than courting death.
The great mountain pressed down, and the Ice-Bound Ghost Monk stretched out his palm to hold it. Seven ice-jeweled ghost Buddha beads were passed out one by one, accompanied by a dull booming sound. The purple-green mountain trembled but couldn't budge an inch; it still fell slowly and steadily.
“Ice Cage Ghost Restraint Formation!” Despair twisted into madness on the face of the Bing Qu Ghost Monk. Having cultivated for so long, how could he be willing to die Even if the Heavenly Emperor himself attacked, he would fight back. Icy pillars sprang up from around him, instantly stopping the descending mountain. The Bing Qu Ghost Monk roared, CRACK! Hundreds of ice pillars shot up at high speed. While their power was impressive, being forced into a corner and head-on clashing with Shi Jingxianjun was clearly not a good strategy.
But the Ice Quelling Ghost Monk was also driven to desperation, it was merely a struggle of unwillingness under dire circumstances.
In another place, the field of lotuses was slightly better off than the situation with Bing Qu Ghost Monk. Besides the fact that Manjushri Bodhisattva's cultivation was higher, they didn't back down under Shi Jing Xianjun's attack, so the situation was naturally a bit better. However, once the Bing Qu Ghost Monk side was fully suppressed, Shi Jing Xianjun freed up more energy, and in an instant, Manjushri Bodhisattva's situation also deteriorated rapidly. Whole swathes of lotus flowers dissipated under Shi Qi's power, forcing them to reveal their form. It was only a matter of time.
Moreover, Shi Jing Xianjun's ambition was vast. With Bing Qu Ghost Monk already in a desperate situation, the pursuit of Qing Shi Luohan intensified significantly. He even aimed to capture all three fleeing powerful beings.

This damn thing, he thought he had run away as a master of the East, and he vented all his anger on the three of them.
The young lion Arhat's heart was pounding wildly. Though he had a certain chance of escaping now, it was still just a chance. Anything said before truly escaping was premature.
With a deafening roar! The sea of flowers scattered in all directions. Manjushri Bodhisattva staggered out from the midst, her head tingling with a dizzying void. She felt the space around her thick and oppressive, resisting her every attempt to move in any direction.
Manjushri's face darkened. To have fallen to such a state, wanting to rely solely on his own strength to escape was already unrealistic.
Manjushri stretched out his palm, and a small gray bottle flew into the void. A powerful aura surged from within. Had Master Miexin arrived Bing Qu, the ice-bound ghost monk who was already in despair, was startled, but quickly reacted, realizing it was impossible. Even if Master Miexin intended to come, he should have appeared outside first, not suddenly emerged from Manjushri's side.
It's most likely that the extinct ancient Buddha, Mo Xin Gu Fo, left behind some contingency measures for Manjushri Bodhisattva, so he could survive in dire straits. Thinking of this, Bing Gan Gui Seng felt even colder in his heart.
The fact that Amitabha Buddha could leave means for Manjushri Bodhisattva indicates that he would be used as a pawn in crucial situations. This is just like the situation we are facing now.
As expected, that powerful aura gathered and roared, forming a shadowy image of the ancient Buddha who extinguished hearts.
"Shi Jing Xianjun, you are indeed skilled. You managed to reach this side of the Buddha Realm and even broke through my army! " Miexin Gufo's phantom glared at the other party, gritting his teeth. After years of effort, his power had crumbled. Judging by the current situation, even if he could gather the fleeing soldiers later, they would be severely depleted. His force, built up over so many years, was now half gone. "Each other, you can come here, this monarch can naturally find a way to come as well. Speaking of which, I have to thank you for cultivating powerful subordinates like Yugu Yu Mo for me. Otherwise, this monarch would not be able to break through the Buddha Realm seal and dismantle your Skulls Buddha army."
Now Manjushri Bodhisattva is being suppressed by me, Skulls Buddha, and Dragon Leaderless Army are defeated, their demise is only a matter of time.
Shi Jingxian chuckled lightly, speaking while also acting. Even if the ancient Buddha extinguishing his heart was present, he wouldn't stand a chance against him.
However, it could gather the scattered skeletal Buddhist army back together. At that time, even Shi Jingxianjun had to avoid its edge.
Now it's just a phantom, able to stall for only a short while. It can give Manjushri Bodhisattva a few moments to breathe and perhaps seize some sliver of hope. But for now, there is no power to change the overall situation.
Lu Xiaitian's escape enraged Shi Jingxian at once, and he went after Manjushri Bodhisattva with deadly force. This was because Shi Jingxian had immense pride in himself, believing these juniors were unworthy of escaping under his watch.
However, with the phantom of the Ancient Buddha of Extinction intervening, escaping would be at least possible. He wouldn't look as dreadful as he does now. As for what was said, it naturally depends on whether or not it can provoke the Ancient Buddha of Extinction. Even if the other party is at a similar realm to himself, facing years of hard work going up in flames and being betrayed by his confidants, his state of mind would be hard to maintain as before, right
"This treacherous, backstabbing little wretch! This Buddha will sooner or later extract his soul and refine it!" Miexin Ancient Buddha was filled with hatred.
All this effort was ruined by such a young upstart. He hadn't suffered such a heavy loss since his debut.
Someone I could have crushed with my hand is now responsible for such immense losses, leaving me with no room to recover. My hatred for the Jade Bone Pangolin Demon surpasses everyone else's, even those who wronged me before. "Amitabha Buddha of Eternal Serenity, your ultimate trust has always been in Manjushri Bodhisattva, Qingsi Arhat, and I, Bing Qu Ghost Monk, or perhaps the Six-Armed Baboon Demon. We all lacked a means to save ourselves, and you never considered that. Over the years, I've done many things for you, more than enough to repay your favors." After betraying Amitabha Buddha of Eternal Serenity, the Jade Bone Pangolin Demon has thrown caution to the wind.

"Things are done, and there is no room for reconciliation between me and the ancient Buddha of Extinction Heart. Since that's the case, why bother to be kind to them anymore. "Don't think that by taking refuge in Immortal Stone Jing you can rest easy. It won't be so easy for you to leave the Buddha Realm. After I finish my current affairs, I will definitely kill you. By then, even Immortal Stone Jing won't be able to save you." The illusory figure of the ancient Buddha of Extinction Heart let out a cold snort.
Yu Gu Yu Mo's heart skipped a beat. If the extinguished Heart Ancient Buddha had any ulterior motives for finding him, it would undoubtedly be extremely troublesome. Shi Jing Xianjun couldn't possibly stay by his side all the time.
But there's no turning back once an arrow is loosed. It's too late to say anything now. He was badly injured before, and only from Shi Jingxian could he get what he needed to heal properly. Even if things were to happen again, he wouldn't regret it.

“Yu Mo, rest assured, the ancient Buddha of Extinction has many things to do within this Buddhist domain. He won't have time to bother you. From now on, all of you will follow me. Even if the ancient Buddha of Extinction is powerful, he can't harm you in the slightest.”
Shi Jingxian chuckled, "Just a phantom, yet so bold. This deity will eliminate you first and then speak."

As Shi Jingxian's voice fell, his divine sense moved. A stone hammer emerged from the void and crashed down towards the illusory figure of Miexin Ancient Buddha.
The extinguished-heart ancient Buddha was, after all, just an illusion. The methods he used could not fool Shi Jingxianjun's keen senses. His illusory form naturally didn't need to waste time, so with a flick of his hand, he struck out with a palm strike in the shape of a Buddhist seal.
In the violent impact, the phantom of the ancient Buddha extinguished trembled, struggling to maintain itself. However, anyone with discerning eyes could see that such a phantom could not last long and would soon dissipate.
It was Manjushri Bodhisattva who, with the help of the phantom, temporarily escaped the predicament. A sea of mandala flowers spread at an astonishing speed towards the distance. Before the phantom of the ancient Buddha extinguished completely, he fled from the Tiānqióngshí Dǐzhèn array.
The Qing Shi Luohan's speed was also not much slower than that of the Manjushri Bodhisattva. He only needed a slight difference in timing to escape.

On the other hand, even with Bing Qu Ghost Monk's frantic attacks from left to right, he was unable to break through the encirclement. The purple and blue stones surrounding him remained tightly packed, forming an impassable barrier.
Dense stone spikes shot towards him, the attack method extremely simple. Shi Jingxian didn't even spend much effort on him, but Bing Qu Ghost Monk couldn't dodge and could only struggle to parry under such attacks. "Puff puff puff..." After desperately resisting for a while, Bing Qu Ghost Monk felt a chill in his back, followed by a sharp pain that spread throughout his body. The stones, along with different types of law mysteries like thunder, erupted within him, leaving him no time to react before they radiated throughout his body.
The Ice-Bound Ghost Monk only felt a numbness in his head. He inwardly cried out, "Bad!" But the opponent's power had already spread to his sea of consciousness. The situation was dire, there was no way to dodge it anymore.

With a boom, the head of the Ice Quelling Ghost Monk exploded. The few avatars that had separated and fled beforehand within the Heavenly Jade Stone Array were not spared either. They were completely wiped out by a dazzling array of lightning arcs. "It's a pity for the Ice Quelling Ghost Monk," sighed the Bodhisattva Manjushri, who had escaped the danger. After this battle, the once powerful Skeleton Buddha army would face complete decline.
