Legend of the Great Sage

oarse and dry.
Violent daemon qi gushed into the air, together with sinister demon qi.

Gu Yanying shivered inside, The Soaring Locust King’s main body is here! Everything he did was still for the Golden Cicada Spirit King after all!

All of the insects surged out from underground, but they did not swarm over madly anymore.
Instead, they fell into formation, constantly moving about flexibly like a chaotic army that had gained a commander.
Their bearing changed completely!

The Soaring Locust King stood on the cloud of insects, rising up slowly from underground and standing in the very centre of the formation.
He was the absolute ruler of this army of locusts.
A pair of cold, compound eyes locked onto the Golden Cicada Spirit King in the air, filled with bone-deep hatred.
He made Gu Yanying feel pressured before he had even done anything.

“Li Qingshan is right here!”

Li Qingshan controlled his clone to stride through the sea of insects, piercing through the waves and hurling a fist at the Soaring Locust King.
Black shockwaves cascaded, giving off a false illusion of slowness.
His clone only possessed around thirty or forty percent of his main body’s strength, but the destructive power behind this punch already surpassed what regular Daemon Kings were capable of.
He wanted to kill the commander amidst this army of millions and make the army of locusts collapse on itself.

The Soaring Locust King swung his hand without even looking back.
A huge, yellow hand composed of locusts rose up from the swarm and swung towards Li Qingshan.

Boom! The hand and fist collided together, and a wave of air rushed out.
The yellow hand dispersed and shattered, while Li Qingshan’s clone was launched away as well.
With a flap of his wings, he stabilised himself and frowned heavily.

The Soaring Locust King’s current strength really is as great as Gu Yanying described it to be.
If he was just out for me, then I could still maneuver about, but stopping him from interfering with the Golden Cicada Spirit King’s tribulation is virtually impossible.
This grievance has developed well beyond the point of any reconciliation, so what are we supposed to do?

The Soaring Locust King completely ignored everyone else.
All he could see in his compound eyes was the Golden Cicada Spirit King.
He closed his claws firmly and said, “Golden Cicada, I will make you pay the most severe price for what you’ve done, which will include your life!”

“Sigh…” The Golden Cicada Spirit King sighed, unable to refute him.
This was all karma.

 ……

“Demon subdual!”

The four Monk Kings roared out furiously together, and the guardian king advanced against the attack, rushing through the sharp streaks of light and swinging the vajra club heavily towards the Sword Collection peak.

At this moment, “elder Tian’s” eerie figure suddenly appeared.
With a wave of his left land and wielding his right hand like a sword, he touched the guardian king’s forehead gently.

Thunk!

Like the long ring of a bell, a great sound erupted, and the guardian king froze up.
Its body began to dim.

As if a very, very long time had passed, a crack began to spread from its forehead, reaching across its body.
Golden light poured out from the cracks.

Boom!

The guardian king shattered, the formation collapsed, and the four Monk Kings fell out of the air.
Their faces were filled with disbelief.
They could accept defeat—after all, Li Qingshan had recently defeated them in an open confrontation—but a miserable defeat like this had happened just too quickly and just too unbelievably.

The Demon Subduing Formation of the Guardian Kings was the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga’s strongest formation.
It was righteous and mighty, without any flaws.
Only Li Qingshan was able to tear it apart in a direct confrontation through absolute strength.
The strength that “elder Tian” had unleashed was much lesser than Li Qingshan’s, and the resplendent streak of light was only a feint.
Despite that, he had actually grasped the weakest point in the Demon Subduing Formation of the Guardian Kings instantly, using it as an opening to destroy it in a single strike.

They suddenly realised to their horror that compared to great strength, it was the supreme swordsmanship that far surpassed anything in this world.

“Hehehehe, you even have the courage to clown around in front of me? You can all go and die!”

Elder Tian stuck out his bright-red tongue and spread his fingers, swinging his hands down.

Thousands of streaks of light shot towards Great Buddha mountain, preparing for a slaughter!
