The Great Bandit of Journey to the West

Chapter 49 Now he can be given a proper burial.

Tan Sheng activated the Buddha's relic, and in an instant, a great light of Buddha shone forth, illuminating the banquet hall with golden light.

"The spell I'm about to cast is called 'Mountain of Knives and Hell,' which will make Jiang Feng feel the pain of being cut by sharp blades, and will torture him to death!"

Dugu Tuo felt the powerful magic emanating from the relic and couldn't help but marvel.

"It seems the rumors were true; this Buddha relic might indeed have been left by a disciple of the Buddha. Even Zhiyi of the Tiantai school didn't possess such powerful magic!"

Tan Sheng smiled slightly and said, "If there are no other instructions, I will now cast the spell."

Dugu Tuo hurriedly said, "Master, please don't let Jiang Feng die from the pain. Let's teach him a lesson first. Right now, we still need him to seal away the evil spirits for the Holy Empress!"

"This humble monk understands."

Tan Sheng nodded, then formed a mudra with his hands and began chanting an obscure incantation.

After a moment, he stopped chanting and exhaled a long breath: "It's done!"

A smile appeared on Dugu Tuo's face as he asked Xu A, "How is Jiang Feng now?"

Xu Ani, using her cat servant to monitor Jiang Feng, said, "He, Cui Ying, Zhang Guo, and others were enjoying the snow and eating in the pavilion. The boiled mutton slices were quite delicious, dipped in sesame sauce and chive sauce... cough cough cough..."

Affected by the cat lover's appetite, Xu Ani couldn't help but drool a little. Realizing her loss of composure, she quickly straightened her face.

Meanwhile, Jiang Feng scalded a slice of mutton in the boiling pot, dipped it in the sauce, and put it in his mouth, letting out a satisfied groan.

"Delicious! How did they raise this mutton? Not only is it incredibly flavorful, but it can even enhance magical power!"

Feeling streams of magical power continuously flowing into his body, Jiang Feng exclaimed in disbelief.

Cui Ying looked at him blankly, then ate a piece of mutton. She didn't feel any increase in her magical power, which puzzled her.

Zhang Guo was also greatly surprised: "How is this possible? The cultivation method you practice is too bizarre. You can improve your cultivation level just by eating a meal?"

Jiang Feng said innocently, "I don't know. Anyway, my magic power increased on its own from the moment we started eating."

With her mouth full of meat and vegetables, Ao Ying mumbled, "What's so strange about that? Eating can also increase my magical power, it's just that the increase is a little small."

Cui Ying said helplessly, "How can these be the same? You're a dragon, and he's a human!"

Zhang Guo stared at Jiang Feng suspiciously: "That's not necessarily true. Think about it, how many times has he ever spoken like a normal person?"

Cui Ying exclaimed as if struck by a sudden enlightenment, "That makes sense!"

Jiang Feng angrily said, "Are you even letting people eat? You're all just jealous, you can't stand to see me doing well!"

"Ao Ying, eat your fill, don't leave them a single bite!"

As they spoke, they swept up the food on the table with Ao Yingfeng.

Xu Ani simultaneously relayed the situation to Dugu Tuo and the others, and Tan Sheng was greatly surprised upon hearing it.

"My 'Hellfire Curse' had absolutely no effect on him?"

Tan Sheng was extremely skeptical, and then began chanting the incantation again.

After chanting a spell, he panted heavily, wiped the fine sweat from his brow, and said with a ferocious expression, "I cast the Scissors Hell Curse on him! He likes to eat, doesn't he? Well, I'll cut off his tongue and see how he eats then!"

At the same time, Jiang Feng suddenly felt the magical power flowing into his body double, and exclaimed excitedly, "It seems I might have had an epiphany!"

Zhang Guo glanced at the scissor mark on his forehead and his expression immediately changed: "Enlightenment my ass! You're under a spell!"

Jiang Feng glanced at him disdainfully: "Is there such a thing as a spell that doesn't harm people and even enhances their magical power? Do you think that person runs a charity?"

"this……"

Zhang Guo was speechless. After stammering for a while, he cursed, "Is this guy out of his mind?!"

Seeing that Jiang Feng was still unharmed, Tan Sheng, who had been accused of being sick, was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He yelled loudly, his eyes bloodshot, and said:

"I, Tan Sheng, have roamed the world for over twenty years, and I have never felt so frustrated. I refuse to believe I can't defeat him!"

As he spoke, he had already forgotten Dugu Tuo's instructions. He used all his magical power to communicate with the relic, bit his tongue, and sprayed a mouthful of blood onto the Buddha's bone relic.

The golden Buddha light flickered slightly, then instantly turned into blood-red light.

The blood-red Buddha relic soared through the air and arrived above Jiang Feng's head in the blink of an eye, carrying a bloody pressure as it smashed towards Jiang Feng's forehead!

With a snap, Jiang Feng reached out and caught the relic. The next instant, the Buddha relic trembled slightly, dispelling the blood-red light that enveloped it.

A vast surge of magical power, like a flood bursting its banks, poured into Jiang Feng's body.

Jiang Feng sensed the magical power that shared the same origin as him, as well as the trace of information contained within it, and immediately understood.

The relics of the Eastern Han Dynasty monk Xuanzang?

At the same time, Tan Sheng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, instantly aging himself by decades, and his aura rapidly weakened.

"My Buddha relics..."

Feeling the loss of connection with the Buddha's relics, his eyes were filled with despair. The blood curse backfired on him, slowly devouring the life force within him.

Dugu Tuo's pupils trembled as he looked at the miserable end of Tan Sheng, and murmured, "What a wicked monk! Jiang Feng's magic is far too evil; we must not confront him head-on..."

Just as Xu Ani was about to withdraw the cat servant who was monitoring Jiang Feng, she suddenly trembled and said, "Master, the Mountain Lord has arrived. This servant will go and meet him."

Dugu Tuo nodded slightly: "Go."

Xu Ani quickly walked out of the main hall, her figure as nimble as a cat, disappearing from Dugu Tuo's mansion in a few leaps.

Looking at Tan Sheng, who was lying on the ground coughing up blood, Dugu Tuo frowned slightly and ordered, "Give him a proper burial."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Feng's voice suddenly rang out from the doorway.

"Buried alive! No wonder everyone says you're a beast; seeing you today, I can see you're truly inhuman!"

Dugu Tuo's eyes narrowed, and he secretly gripped a yellow talisman in his sleeve.

Ignoring the guards, Jiang Feng barged in with his men. He looked at Tan Sheng with pity and said, "In your next life, open your eyes wider and find someone better to be with."

Having said that, he touched the man's brow with his right hand, extinguishing his life force, and turned to Dugu Tuo, saying, "Now you can give him a proper burial!"

Dugu Tuo: "..."

You're not much better than me! Everyone says monks are compassionate, shouldn't you be forgiving his mistakes?

After exchanging glances with Jiang Feng, Dugu Tuo realized that he had no useful helpers by his side. He sighed and softened his tone, saying, "This time it was my fault. You draw a line for me."

Jiang Feng calmly said, "You didn't do anything wrong. Anyway, only one of us can survive in the end. I won't be surprised if you do something. You just didn't succeed this time."

I'm not here to interrogate you. I have a few questions for you. Is Daoist Yuzhen one of your people?

Dugu Tuo's pupils contracted, and a hint of anger appeared on his face: "Did you kill Yu Zhen too?"

Jiang Feng admitted, "That's right, I've seen the cat ghost that Daoist Yuzhen keeps. It looks almost exactly like the cat ghost that harmed Yang Su's wife, Zheng, yesterday. Did you instigate this?"

Dugu Tuo's face showed surprise and doubt: "Zheng? Yang Su and I are related by marriage. My wife, Yang, is his own sister. Why would I harm his wife?"
