Chapter 845 Golden Light Buddha

Ning Beichen's punch, the Great Annihilation of the Unbounded, landed on the petals, but his fist shifted and struck a cultivator, obliterating them.

At this moment, the flower's several arms grabbed Ning Beichen, its petals opening to reveal sharp teeth that gnashed towards him, intending to devour him.

Ning Beichen let out a cold snort. How could he allow it? With a single thought, his bronze ancient sword flew over and slashed at the flower's arms.

This time, Ning Beichen no longer held back, employing the Songshan Sword Art.

The flower, unaware of the Songshan Sword Art's might, foolishly attempted to grab Ning Beichen's sword with its arms.

As a result, its arms were instantly severed by the bronze ancient sword.

The strange flower let out a piercing shriek of pain, and then a colossal tentacle emerged from its mouth, ferociously lashing towards Ning Beichen.

This tentacle was covered in a thick layer of scales, akin to an armadillo's.

The tip of the tentacle resembled a pair of sharp giant scissors, cutting towards Ning Beichen.

At this moment, Ning Beichen's bronze ancient sword was still far away, unable to assist him in time.

Li Jing'er, standing at a distance, saw this and, without a second thought, charged towards the tentacle.

However, distant water could not quench an immediate fire.

Ning Beichen, on the other hand, remained unfazed. Golden light erupted from him, and a colossal golden Buddha image enveloped his body. To onlookers, Ning Beichen appeared to have transformed into a golden Buddha.

Then, Li Jing'er witnessed the golden Buddha raise a massive arm and seize the flower's tentacle. Immediately after, Li Jing'er saw a scene she would never forget.

The golden Buddha, holding the tentacle, swung the flower back and forth like a wild beast.

A thunderous rumbling sound echoed.

The flower was tossed about by Ning Beichen's transformed golden Buddha. If the flower were a great ape, Ning Beichen would be a giant.

The flower cried out in agony, pinned beneath Ning Beichen's transformed golden Buddha. It raised a fist as large as a small mountain and pounded the flower's face, blow after blow, splattering its juices and tearing off its petals.

Then, the golden Buddha picked up the bronze ancient sword, preparing to deliver a final blow to the flower.

Suddenly, countless sharp swords flew towards the golden Buddha. Ning Beichen was forced to abandon his attempt to kill the flower.

At this moment, a black-robed elder appeared within the cave, hovering in mid-air. He spoke sternly,

"Who dares harm my pet!"

"So it was your trap. I wondered how the news of such a rare treasure appearing would spread so far and wide."

Ning Beichen, having deactivated his Prajna Golden Body and returned to his original form, looked at the black-robed elder and said,

"This can only be blamed on their foolishness and greed. Where are there so many rare treasures in the world? Did they really think treasures grew from the ground? If they weren't greedy, they wouldn't have come here. If they hadn't come here, nothing would have happened."

The black-robed elder said dismissively.

"Nonsense. It's true that human hearts are greedy, but that's no excuse for your wicked deeds. If they are greedy, aren't you even more greedy, shameless, and despicable? What right do you have to mock them?"

Ning Beichen rebuked him.

"Well said, Young Master Ning."

Li Jing'er couldn't help but applaud, her eyes shining with extreme admiration as she looked at Ning Beichen.

"Hmph! Such glib talk. You injured my pet, and I shall take your life as compensation!"

The black-robed elder saw through Ning Beichen's cultivation at a glance. He wasn't even a Venerable, while he himself was a Venerable. How could he possibly take Ning Beichen seriously?

After speaking, the black-robed elder waved his hand, and the weapons of the fallen cultivators on the ground levitated. They then charged towards Ning Beichen like a formidable army.

"Still!"

Ning Beichen roared, and the levitating weapons froze in mid-air. Then, with a punch of the Great Annihilation of the Unbounded,

The weapons, frozen in place, shattered into countless fragments that rained down like a torrent.

"It is impolite not to reciprocate!"

Ning Beichen, naturally, would not stand idly by. He pointed his finger, and the bronze ancient sword spun towards the black-robed elder.

The black-robed elder's face showed a look of surprise. He hurriedly waved his sleeve, and a peculiar vine emerged from his sleeve, coiling towards the bronze ancient sword.

However, he greatly underestimated Ning Beichen's bronze ancient sword. The vine, barely approaching it, was instantly severed in two by a single slash.

"Ah, my weapon! You brat, I will kill you."

Seeing his vine cut in half, the black-robed elder was heartbroken. This vine was his innate spiritual treasure, unique in the world.

The severing of the vine would also greatly affect him, even costing him much of his lifespan. How could he not be enraged? He unleashed his full power as a Venerable upon Ning Beichen.

Cracking sounds echoed, and numerous fissures appeared on the cave walls. The ground directly burst open, with large amounts of lava and flames erupting from below.

The black-robed elder was no longer concerned with dealing with Ning Beichen alone; he intended to kill everyone within, including Li Jing'er behind Ning Beichen.

Ning Beichen's brows furrowed deeply. He could disregard the lives of others, but he could not ignore Li Jing'er.

Therefore, Ning Beichen beckoned, and the bronze ancient sword returned to his hand.

Then, Ning Beichen thrust his sword forward.

"Tracks vanish on countless paths!"

Instantly, all the flames, including the lava, were frozen by frost. The entire cave transformed into a world of ice and snow, including the surviving cultivators and Li Jing'er.

They all turned into ice sculptures, and the black-robed elder was no exception; he too was frozen. Even a Venerable could not escape this fate.

However, a Venerable was still a Venerable. Even when frozen, he did not die but struggled desperately within the ice, trying to break free from the frost.

But Ning Beichen's Songshan Sword Art could even contend with Heavenly Sovereigns, let alone Venerables. Furthermore, Ning Beichen would not give him a chance to escape. The Great Annihilation of the Unbounded struck him, acting as a strike through the mountain.

Trapped within the ice and frost, the black-robed elder could not evade, nor could he even mobilize his energy to resist.

The power of the Great Annihilation of the Unbounded directly exploded his body into a pile of frozen blood mist.

As the black-robed elder's soul attempted to flee in panic, Ning Beichen five-fingered and sucked, drawing the escaping soul back and crushing it in his hand.
