THE FAIRIES I FLIRTED WITH IN THE GAME BECAME REAL?!

Above the dais of the magical altar, amidst the floating black mist, Li Muyang abruptly opened his eyes.

The phantom pain of life fading seemed to linger on his body.

For the first time, he had actually been defeated by the monk Ming Xiu under the Bodhi Tree.

And the defeat came incredibly swiftly.

This monk Ming Xiu was not a demon, but a bona fide Buddhist cultivator.

His whole being was imbued with Buddhist mana, particularly effective against inanimate evil spirits.

And Li Muyang’s puppets, the corpse of an Ancient Sword Immortal, were precisely inanimate objects.

During battle, they were greatly restrained.

Frowning in contemplation, Li Muyang muttered to himself.

“…What a terrifying monk.”

Even though there was an advantage in attributes, this monk Ming Xiu managed to transcend the Sword Immortal’s corpse with supreme mana.

The more Li Muyang fought him, the more the Sword Qi, power, and resentment remaining on the Sword Immortal’s corpse dissipated.

By the end, Li Muyang had hardly inflicted any damage on Monk Ming Xiu, yet the health bar of the Sword Immortal’s corpse had already depleted.

The other’s intent to kill was not strong, indeed it was nonexistent.

In the battle with Ming Xiu, the monk had not a single ruthless move.

He merely withstood the attacks from the Glass Celestial Maiden and Li Muyang while continuing to transcend the Sword Immortal’s corpse with the sounds of his chant.

Every gesture was as breezy as the clouds and winds, devoid of the slightest trace of worldliness.

Yet it was precisely such a killing intent-free chant that allowed him to thoroughly transcend the resentment of the Ancient Sword Immortal’s corpse, leaving Li Muyang unable to utilize its strength anymore and ultimately leading to his defeat.

This boss was exceedingly difficult.

The opponent hadn’t even shown his killer moves, and it was already this troublesome.

If pushed to desperation, entering a second phase, this monk Ming Xiu would likely become even more formidable.

Li Muyang frowned as he recalled the battle scenes, pondering over a strategy to break the stalemate.

However, having only fought once, he lacked insight into Monk Ming Xiu’s divine skills.

Even after strenuous recollection and reviewing the fight, he could only summarize a few possibilities.

After the review, Li Muyang, still floating in the black mist, closed his eyes once more and returned to the game.

Upon loading the save, he, along with Nie Yubing and Chu Qingxue, arrived beneath the Bodhi Tree on the cliffside.

The young monk with a radiant and handsome countenance sat smiling, welcoming the arrival of the trio.

And just like the last save, Monk Ming Xiu pointed out a path of survival for the three of them.

“…Head to the north, that land can offer temporary refuge from the disaster.”

Monk Ming Xiu’s smile was gentle.

The little girl Nie Yubing and Chu Qingxue, the Glass Celestial Maiden, were incredibly surprised.

They were astonished that Monk Ming Xiu seemed in league with the demons.

The CG cutscene before the boss fight was the same as before.

The only difference was that this time, after Li Muyang had passed the CG scene and the health bar of Monk Ming Xiu beneath the Bodhi Tree had appeared, he did not immediately take action.

Li Muyang stood under the Bodhi tree, watching the young monk ahead, and asked,

“Going northwards may indeed spare us from disaster, but what of the common people on this vast land who are innocent?”

“They live under the oppression of the Lu imperial dynasty, already enduring extreme hardship.”

“The rich landlords exploit them, noble officials collect taxes every month, and from top to bottom they are extorted in all ways, to the point the common folk can no longer survive. And now, the emperor wishes to slaughter them to fulfill his ambition with the blood of millions.”

“You advise us to flee to the north to avoid disaster.”

“But what about those who are left behind in the south, doomed not to reach the northern lands? Who will lead them to safety in the north? Who will guide them away from harm?”

Li Muyang gazed directly at the monk before him, questioning coldly, “You are a high monk of the Buddhist faith, practicing the compassionate and universal salvation of Buddhist Law, learning the scriptures that educate all beings.”

“`

“But in the end, you sided with the demons and the tyrant, helping the emperor massacre the common people.”

“What kind of Buddhist Law do you practice? Does your Buddha teach you to save the world like this?”

Li Muyang’s tone was icy, each sentence piercing towards the monk in front like a sharp sword.

He was testing this strange monk, attempting to shake his Buddhist faith.

Yet faced with Li Muyang’s icy interrogation, the young monk under the Bodhi tree merely smiled slightly.

He brought his hands together in prayer, shook his head, and said, “Wu Ming Layman can predict the future without divination. Did you really not foresee the future of this land?”

After speaking, the young monk smiled while turning the Buddha Beads in his hand, chanting grand and mystical scriptures.

The sound of Zen filled with the holy compassion of the Buddhist temple rose under the Bodhi Tree.

Golden talismans appeared in the void, transforming into brilliantly inscribed scriptures of golden light.

The Zen sounds washed over like waves, as the transparent golden scriptures descended like a heavenly canopy.

Li Muyang, situated within, felt the resentment and Evil Qi dissipating from his body.

Above his head, damage numbers kept popping up.

[-37]

[-99!]

[-42]

[-61]

Strings of damage numbers emerged above Li Muyang’s head, and his own blood bar in his field of vision was slowly disappearing.

Although the blood bar was disappearing very slowly, it couldn’t withstand the monk’s continuous chanting!

Li Muyang, under the Bodhi Tree, was subject to all-encompassing suppression.

Not only were damage numbers continuously popping up above his head, but even the power of the skills released from the Sword Immortal’s corpse was weakened.

Under this Bodhi Tree, a Buddhist battlefield vaguely formed, turning into the domain presided over by Monk Ming Xiu.

Li Muyang, in this Buddhist battlefield, instantly found himself at a disadvantage.

Seeing himself confused as before, Li Muyang immediately spoke up, continuing.

“… Monk Ming Xiu! How can you justify aiding demons in their cruelty, to your school, to your Buddha!”

“The grand Buddha Cave Temple has now turned into a den of demons.”

“Martial Monks have perished, refined into walking corpses and puppets.”

“The meditation chambers are dead silent, the novice monks turned into food.”

“In the Buddha Hall, demons reside, draping themselves in Kasayas, stealing the incense of the Buddha.”

“And you, a demonic monk in league with the demons, choose to turn a blind eye.”

“You brought demons into the temple, causing the death of all the monks within.”

“As I passed the kitchen, I saw it, three demons sitting by the stove, boiling a pot with the tender flesh of a young novice!”

“In the pit behind the mountain, piles of bones from the monks, picked clean, were found!”

“This Mount Xianfeng Buddhist Cave Temple has fallen into such a hellish state because of you!”

“You sit there, looking righteous, dressed in a pale white kasaya, not a speck of dust on you.”

“But your fellow monks from Buddha Cave Temple have all been horribly killed!”

“Under your feet are filled with their skeletal remains!”

“How can you, committing such cruel and evil deeds, have the face to chant the Zen sounds of the Buddhist temple, to wield the marvelous Buddhist arts?”

“You, this demonic monk! Enemy of the Buddha!”

Li Muyang’s tone was intense, his gaze icy.

He aggressively denounced the monk before him, trying to destabilize his mind so that his Buddhist battlefield could not be maintained.

However, the young monk under the Bodhi Tree, upon hearing Li Muyang’s intense and sharp interrogation, remained smiling.

His hands still joined in prayer, turning the Buddha Beads, even the tone of his chanting of the scriptures remained unhurried and calm.
