Tianpeng Rebirth: The Battle of Buddhism and Taoism
Chapter 14: Difficult Decisions in the Mist
Bajie traveled quickly and finally arrived at the meeting place agreed with Yang Jian and Ao Bing - an unnamed island on the edge of the East China Sea. The island was rocky and uninhabited, making it a hidden place that was not easy to be discovered. However, at this time, there was only Yang Jian on the island, who was sitting on a huge rock with a solemn expression and some scars from the battle.
Bajie's heart tightened, and he asked hurriedly: "Yang Jian, where is Ao Bing? What happened to you?"
Yang Jian raised his head, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "I rushed here after coming out of the cave, and I haven't seen Ao Bing. In that cave, I encountered unprecedented resistance. Those black shadows were extremely difficult to deal with. If I hadn't used all my strength at the end, I would have had difficulty escaping. It seems that the other party has been prepared for a long time."
Bajie tells Yang Jian what he heard in the abandoned temple, and the two feel that the situation is getting more serious. Not only does the mysterious force have to gather magic tools to awaken the unknown power, but it also wants to join forces with foreign forces to invade the Three Realms. Ao Bing's whereabouts are unknown, which undoubtedly makes the already complicated situation worse.
As the two were discussing how to find Ao Bing and deal with the impending crisis, suddenly, a huge wave rose from the calm sea. A huge octopus monster emerged from the sea, its tentacles were dozens of feet long and covered with sharp suction cups. The octopus monster opened its bloody mouth and spewed a stream of dark green venom towards the island.
Bajie and Yang Jian dodged quickly, and the poison fell on the ground, corroding large pits in an instant. Yang Jian shouted angrily, wielding the three-pointed double-edged sword and flew up, slashing at the tentacles of the octopus monster. Bajie was not to be outdone, he raised the nine-toothed rake, chanted something, and used the great power of the thirty-six transformations to smash the body of the octopus monster.
The octopus monster twisted its body flexibly to avoid the attacks of the two people, and at the same time, it used its tentacles to entangle Yang Jian's legs and dragged him into the sea. Seeing this, Bajie rushed forward and hit the octopus monster's tentacles with a rake, saving Yang Jian. However, the octopus monster suddenly sprayed a cloud of black smoke, covering the entire island.
In the smoke, Bajie and Yang Jian lost their way and felt a mysterious force interfering with their magic. At this moment, a sinister voice sounded in their ears: "Do you think you can easily destroy our plan? Today is the day you die!"
Bajie and Yang Jian stood back to back, observing their surroundings vigilantly. Bajie shouted, "If you have the guts, come out and fight openly. What kind of hero are you if you hide in the dark?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several black figures appeared in the smoke. They were the black-robed men that Bajie had seen in the abandoned temple. One of the black-robed men sneered, "Heroes? In this world where the weak are the prey of the strong, strength is the only truth. You, the Heavenly Court, killed all the Buddhists in the past, and now you should pay the price!"
Yang Jian retorted: "Buddhism is ambitious and wants to rule the Three Realms, endangering all living beings. We are only trying to maintain peace in the Three Realms. Now that you are colluding with foreign forces, aren't you afraid of bringing greater disasters to the Three Realms?"
The black-robed man disagreed: "Humph, we don't care about the peace of the three realms. As long as we can get revenge, we will not hesitate to destroy the three realms!" After that, a long sword emitting black flames appeared in the black-robed man's hand and stabbed at Yang Jian. Other black-robed men also took action and started a fierce battle with Bajie and Yang Jian.
In the fierce battle, Bajie gradually discovered that although the magic power of these black-robed men was strong, they seemed to have a fatal weakness. Their attack rhythm was closely related to the swing frequency of the black flame sword. As long as he could disrupt the rhythm of the black-robed men, he might be able to find a flaw.
Bajie found the right moment, and when the black-robed man was swinging his sword, he rushed forward and stuck the sword with his nine-toothed rake. The black-robed man struggled hard, but couldn't break free. Yang Jian took the opportunity to attack, and a golden light shot out from the three-pointed double-edged sword, hitting the black-robed man's chest. The black-robed man groaned and retreated.
Seeing this, the other black-robed men attacked more fiercely. Bajie and Yang Jian resisted with all their might, but the other side had too many people and strange magic power, and the two gradually became powerless.
At this moment, a dragon roar suddenly sounded from the sea. Ao Bing rode a giant sea turtle through the waves, holding a blue-glowing gem in his hand, which was the Dinghai Pearl. Ao Bing threw the Dinghai Pearl into the air, and the gem shone brightly, dispersing the black smoke and suppressing the black-robed man's magic power.
Bajie and Yang Jian were inspired and joined forces with Ao Bing to launch a final counterattack against the black-robed man. Under the powerful attack of the three, the black-robed man finally couldn't resist and turned into black smoke and dissipated.
The crisis was temporarily resolved, and Bajie and Yang Jian hurriedly asked Ao Bing about his experience. Ao Bing said with a heavy face: "After I followed the mysterious voice, I found a secret base hidden in the seabed, which was full of controlled mermaids.
