I Can Traverse Multiple Worlds-Chapter 47: Thunderbolt Suppression, Fame Shakes the World

Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Thunderbolt Suppression, Fame Shakes the World

’It’s not enough!’

Three short words, yet they boomed like a clap of thunder, reverberating violently.

It wasn’t just the faces of the Priests from Celestial Sword Mountain that changed.

Even the faces of the Wuxiang Temple’s senior monks changed abruptly.

They never expected their Buddha’s Son to show these Priests no deference whatsoever.

To think he was still demanding more compensation.

For a moment,

The atmosphere in the clearing turned deathly grim.

Li Jiuyan glanced at his master’s expression before turning to Wang Xiao.

"Zen Master Wu Chen, I know Wuxiang Temple has suffered many losses over the years, but the compensation my master has promised should be enough to make amends. With you at its helm, Wuxiang Temple will undoubtedly shine brightly in the Western Regions and even the Central State. Don’t push your luck!"

He held Wang Xiao in high regard, believing him to be a talent worth cultivating.

Therefore, he didn’t want to see Wang Xiao offend Celestial Sword Mountain over some immediate gains.

After all, he knew his master’s temper all too well.

In his youth, he was known throughout the Jianghu as Li Xu, the ’Iron Blood Heartless’!

He handled all matters impartially, never letting emotions interfere.

As a result, his methods were also extremely severe!

If anyone dared to break the rules, his master would mercilessly strike them down and suppress them.

Right now,

With the Demon Extermination Order just issued, it was a time for Celestial Sword Mountain to establish its authority.

If Wang Xiao dared to cross Celestial Sword Mountain’s bottom line, Wuxiang Temple would not only fail to receive any benefits but would likely be punished.

Li Xu narrowed his eyes and waved a hand. "Fine. In a hundred years, aside from that girl on Celestial Sword Mountain, you are the first person to dare say no to me. Tell me, what else do you want? Remember, if the compensation you demand is unreasonable, everything I previously promised Wuxiang Temple will be null and void!"

His tone was laced with a threat.

Having lived for so many years, he had seen plenty of geniuses.

Even if Wang Xiao was somewhat special, at most it would only warrant a little more of his attention.

There was no way he would set aside his own rules to give someone special treatment!

"Wu Chen, the Priest’s compensation is more than enough for Wuxiang Temple. There’s no need to ask for more."

"Yes, as the Buddha said: All things arise from and cease due to karmic affinity. The karmic ties between our Wuxiang Temple and Yuan Chu Temple are now concluded. Let’s not prolong the entanglement."

"..."

On the side,

The senior monks of Wuxiang Temple were also trying to persuade Wang Xiao in low voices.

They were afraid Wang Xiao would do something irrational.

Wang Xiao said calmly, "No, this karmic debt has not been settled."

After a pause,

he looked at Li Xu and said, "Amitabha. What this humble monk asks for is simple. These four Human Immortals of the Refining Acupoints realm, led by Huiran, who attacked my Wuxiang Temple, must all cripple their own Cultivation before they can leave Wuxiang Temple!"

If Huiran and his men hadn’t colluded with Zhi Hyun,

then Zhi Hyun wouldn’t have been able to ambush my master, leading to his severe injuries.

Moreover,

the Demon Cultivator invasion twelve years ago directly led to Abbot Liao Zhen suffering grievous injuries, which ultimately led to his passing.

Huiran and his men had to take the fall for this!

Most importantly,

Wang Xiao could not allow Li Xu to take away the other three Human Immortals from Yuan Chu Temple’s Refining Acupoints realm, leaving only Huiran.

They were a potential threat to Wuxiang Temple that had to be eliminated now!

When Huiran heard Wang Xiao’s words, his expression changed drastically.

He was willing to face death precisely to protect Yuan Chu Temple’s three remaining Human Immortals of the Refining Acupoints realm.

If these three Human Immortals were crippled, it would be equivalent to severing their Yuan Chu Temple’s thousand-year-old foundation.

Yuan Chu Temple would very likely be absorbed by Wuxiang Temple and utterly destroyed!

At this thought,

Huiran immediately said, "Your Excellencies, the Priests, this incident was my fault alone. It has nothing to do with the other monks of Yuan Chu Temple. I implore you to see the truth of the matter!"

Li Xu’s eyes narrowed slightly. After a moment of thought, he said,

"This battle at Wuxiang Temple was caused by your Yuan Chu Temple. Now that Zen Master Zhi Kong is gravely injured, it is only right that you pay a price. Zen Master Wu Chen’s demand isn’t entirely excessive."

"However, considering you have managed the Western Desert World for so many years—if not with merit, then with hard work—it would be unfair to you to simply cripple your Cultivation. I will give you a chance for a fair fight."

As he spoke,

he looked at Wang Xiao and said,

"Zen Master Wu Chen, you want to cripple them to eliminate a future threat for your Wuxiang Temple. I will not stop you, but I have a few conditions."

"First, Huiran colluded with a Demon Cultivator. He is a dead man, so there is no need for him to participate. Second, you will only have four chances to attack."

"If you have not crippled these three Human Immortals of the Refining Acupoints realm after four attacks, this matter will be dropped."

"Furthermore, the compensation I previously offered your Wuxiang Temple will be completely void."

"Do you agree?!"

Wang Xiao placed his palms together and nodded. "This humble monk accepts."

With his current strength, it was not impossible to deal with three Human Immortals of the Refining Acupoints realm within four moves.

After all,

without a Human Immortal at Acupoint Refining Perfection like Huiran, Yuan Chu Temple’s three remaining Human Immortals couldn’t unleash much power, even with their Dark Celestial Array of Heaven and Earth.

Li Xu didn’t bother asking the remaining three Human Immortals from Yuan Chu Temple for their opinion, simply stating flatly,

"Good. Then begin."

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

The Priests restrained Huiran and cleared an open space for Wang Xiao and the others.

The three Human Immortals from Yuan Chu Temple had grim expressions, their fists clenched. They felt utterly humiliated.

They were, after all, true Human Immortals of the Refining Acupoints realm, among the strongest experts of this age!

To think he could cripple them in four moves—did he fancy himself a being of the Celestial Human Realm?!

"Come on! Let’s see how you, the great Buddha’s Son, plan to cripple us!"

"Hmph! Do you really think we’re just a bunch of pushovers?"

"Did you think we’d be at your mercy just because our Khenpo isn’t here?!"

"Form the array!"

In that instant,

the three Human Immortals from Yuan Chu Temple formed Seals with their hands. Surging Inner Qi raged forth, once again forming a Black Buddha!

However,

this Buddha’s aura was clearly much weaker than before.

Wang Xiao said nothing. His Inner Qi surged like a tide, materializing behind him into a ’Buddha Sword’!

It was vast and majestic, filled with killing intent yet simultaneously radiating Buddha’s Light!

"Kill!"

The Black Buddha behind the three Human Immortals suddenly opened its eyes and thrust a palm toward Wang Xiao!

Wang Xiao was utterly fearless. The Buddha Sword slashed out as if to cleave Heaven and Earth in two.

The first sword strike left a massive gash on the Black Buddha!

The second sword strike blasted a great hole through the Black Buddha’s chest!

The third sword strike completely shattered the Black Buddha, sending the three Human Immortals flying backward, spitting blood!

The fourth sword strike filled the sky with Sword Shadows, completely enveloping the three Human Immortals!

Immediately, a series of agonized screams rang out.

Within four moves, all three Human Immortals of Yuan Chu Temple had been crippled!

"No!"

Watching the three Human Immortals lying on the ground, bleeding profusely, Huiran’s eyes instantly turned red. His surging Inner Qi erupted as he prepared to charge at Wang Xiao.

However, at that exact moment,

a searing beam of sword light flashed and slammed into Huiran’s body, pinning him to the ground like a dead dog!

Li Xu said coldly, "I gave you a chance. It’s a shame you were useless. You have no one to blame but yourselves."

Then,

he looked at Wang Xiao again. "Since the matter is settled, we’ll be taking them with us."

"Amitabha. Please, Your Excellencies," Wang Xiao said, his expression calm.

Li Jiuyan glanced at Wang Xiao and said,

"Next, with the Demon Extermination Order issued, the world will become exceedingly tense. You have now revealed your full strength and will surely become famous. However, this may not be a good thing for you."

"Those Demon Cultivators will stop at nothing to kill you. Although the Demon Lord of the Celestial Human Realm won’t dare to show himself recklessly, he has many subordinates who are just one step away from becoming Celestial Beings. You must be careful."

Wang Xiao placed his palms together. "Thank you for the warning, Your Excellency."

Li Jiuyan said no more. Along with the other Priests, he took Huiran and the others and departed from Wuxiang Temple.

After Li Jiuyan and his group had left,

Wang Xiao finally turned to look at Zhi Hyun, who was still lying on the ground.

The man had been completely crippled.

However, he could still be of some use.

Wang Xiao had never studied the Life Source Crystal inside a Demon Cultivator before.

It was a good opportunity to see what secrets it held.

Perhaps it could help him achieve the Heaven-Breaking Pass and cultivate all the way to the Celestial Human Realm!
