Chapter 1022 -656: Fireball Forbidden Technique (Extra for Alliance Leader Wood White Gold Jade~)_4 Chapter 1022 -656: Fireball Forbidden Technique (Extra for Alliance Leader Wood White Gold Jade~)_4 At the critical moment, Fire Buddha regained a trace of clarity. Seeing the Wind Blade approaching, Fire Buddha crossed his arms, his eyes blood-red, and he roared fiercely, interweaving all the Karmic Fire to form a shield, blocking it in front of him. The Tornado Long Spear collided with the Evil Fire Shield. Spiritual Power and Evil Power clashed, wind and fire intermingled, and the surrounding mountains and rocks were also crushed under the pressure of spiritual power, turning into dust. After the fluctuations of Spiritual Power dissipated, The kasaya on Fire Buddha’s body was already tattered. His arms were covered with fine, wind-blade-induced cuts, clearly showing serious injuries. On the other hand, Gu Changhuai’s breath had also weakened significantly, obviously due to substantial consumption of Spiritual Power. The valley suddenly fell silent. Gu Changhuai’s gaze became a bit grim. After an unknown amount of time, a low laughter from Fire Buddha broke the silence. “Good, good…” “You’ve pushed me to this point…” Fire Buddha’s voice turned cold, gradually no longer sounding human. “Since things have come this far, then I will discard this human skin and completely convert to my master…” Before he could finish speaking, Fire Buddha had already taken out a Blood Pill the size of a dragon’s eye. The Blood Pill, seemingly crafted from flesh, was still trembling slightly. Fire Buddha quickly stuffed the pill into his mouth. His speed was so fast that neither Gu Changhuai’s Wind Blade nor Mo Hua’s Fireball managed to stop him. As soon as the pill entered his mouth, Fire Buddha’s expression turned ferocious. His chest, with two flaming hearts, suddenly throbbed, already forming the embryo of an Evil Path magical treasure. Fire Buddha’s flesh rapidly swelled, and he grew two feet taller in an instant. The filthy Karmic Fire burned throughout his body. His face, the skin and flesh all scorched, was grotesquely disfigured as if ravaged by fierce fire. At the same time, his aura surged once more. “Gu Changhuai…” Fire Buddha’s voice was hoarse and terrifying. “Today if you do not use the power of the Golden Core, you’ll die, but if you use it, you’ll still die…” Fire Buddha waved his hand, and a crimson ghost-faced fire knife broke through the air, its formidable aura striking terror as it hurtled towards Gu Changhuai. Gu Changhuai’s expression was solemn, and he waved his fan to form a Wind Shield to block it, but it was completely ineffective. The Wind Shield was shattered by the fire knife. Gu Changhuai stepped back several paces and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. He gritted his teeth and said, “You beast not even worthy of being human…” Fire Buddha sneered, “You mean the ‘human’ that is just a sack of skin?” “How many in this world wearing this sack of skin commit acts of Demon Monsters?” “A ‘human’ in human skin, sometimes they are even more beastly than beasts…” Gu Changhuai, with anger in his face, once again unleashed Wind Blades towards Fire Buddha. But this time, Fire Buddha didn’t even dodge; he allowed the Wind Blades to cut into him, slicing open his flesh and tearing through his skin. In an instant, this flesh rejuvenated as if nothing had happened. “Flesh regeneration?” Gu Changhuai turned pale, his heart chilled. If that was the case, he wouldn’t be able to kill this demon-transformed Fire Buddha at all. Just then, Mo Hua shouted from the side: “Uncle Gu, aim for its heart meridian!” Gu Changhuai paused and then understood. Fire Buddha’s heart meridian was nurturing the embryo of his own Evil Path magical treasure. It was both the source of all of Fire Buddha’s Evil Power and his vital weakness. Fire Buddha’s expression changed, “You little beast!” But even after scanning with his Divine Sense, he still couldn’t detect Mo Hua. After abandoning his human form, his Evil Power became stronger, and his flesh could regenerate, but without “humanity,” his Divine Sense also degenerated… Fire Buddha simply couldn’t see Mo Hua. In that brief moment, Gu Changhuai had also begun to control the Wind Blade as Mo Hua said, forcibly trying to sever the heart meridians of Fire Buddha. Fire Buddha revealed a furious expression but could only think of ways, using his left arm to cover his chest, to block the Wind Blade. His right arm deployed a Spell, clashing fiercely with Gu Changhuai. However, after several continuous fierce battles, Gu Changhuai’s Spiritual Power suddenly became sluggish. Only then did he realize that his Spiritual Power was nearly exhausted. Bitterness filled Gu Changhuai’s heart. After all, he was just a human. Even though his Spiritual Power was profound, he was not like Fire Buddha, who could kill people to refine Evil Pills, supplementing himself, and even forsake his human form, descend into Evil Demon, in exchange for regenerating flesh. “Human” efforts sometimes reach their limit. Gu Changhuai suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his meridians. He knew this was a sign of overusing Spiritual Power, his meridians, constantly condensing Spells, had already been damaged. Continuing like this, he feared he would truly reach a dead end… And Mo Hua… Gu Changhuai bit through his lip, drawing blood, and thought fiercely, “Screw it!” “No matter what, I must kill Fire Buddha first!” “Directly use Golden Core Power…” “It’s a gamble…” “Let’s see whether I kill Fire Buddha first, or Heavenly Dao kills me first…” A relentless killing intent ignited in Gu Changhuai’s eyes. His Dantian ignited Pill Fire, his body enveloped in a fine radiance, and in his right hand appeared a dazzling and immensely powerful Seven-Colored Peacock Feather Treasure Fan. Fire Buddha was also stunned. He looked at Gu Changhuai, both fearful and shocked. He had not expected Gu Changhuai to really dare… Really dare to use the Golden Core Power in this Second Grade territory… He really was not afraid to die… A hint of mocking amusement appeared in Fire Buddha’s gaze. Gu Changhuai’s expression was as grim as water, his killing intent piercing to the bone, his own Magical Treasure already manifested, and the Golden Core Power was in operation. At that moment, he suddenly paused, then his pupils shockingly dilated. Fire Buddha was standing right in front of him. And at that moment, Gu Changhuai saw a blurry figure, taking advantage of Fire Buddha’s attention being on him, and while smirking coldly, had inconceivably maneuvered behind Fire Buddha. Then… Out of the void, two small hands appeared. The hands opened, each palm condensing a Fireball. Just ordinary, unremarkable Fireballs. But in a blink, the fire’s light drastically changed. It seemed to be compressed by an extremely strong force; the two Fireballs suddenly collided and then each grotesquely distorted. It was as if something inside the Fireballs directly collapsed, yet forcefully merged back together… The aura of the Spell instantly twisted and mutated. The internal structure of the Spiritual Power changed, mysterious Patterns emerging and reorganizing, accompanied by a surge of powerful energy. The two Fireballs struggled, morphed, and merged together, forming a smaller, yet more terrifying purple-black Fireball that resembled magma entwined. Fire Buddha sensed something was off. He felt something extremely dreadful forming behind him. He wanted to turn around, but it was already too late. A familiar yet crisp, cold voice rang in his ears: “You want to teach me a Spell?” In that instant, an intensely hot pain spread from his back. That was the terrifying Fire Spiritual Power, burning his flesh. Then a brutally powerful yet stable explosion sound erupted. Fire Buddha only saw distorted Spiritual Power and rampant flames ravaging before him. When he looked down, he saw that his chest had been blown open by the Spell, revealing a dark, gaping hole.
