Chapter 840: Kong Yan’s Downfall

Jiang Star

The fighting continued, but the people from Blue Star felt increasingly at ease because the Space Battleship was providing support. Even if they couldn’t win, they could call for help, and soon a barrage of cannon fire would come, giving them a chance to breathe.

In contrast, the Buddhist cultivators were in terrible trouble. After fighting for so long, they were almost out of spiritual energy, and the potions to restore it were being used like food.

However, they had no time to rest; no matter where they hid, they would soon be greeted by weapons like Spiritual Cannons, lasers, and particle cannons. At the very least, there would be robots coming to self-destruct.

With this back and forth, the gap between them grew large, even life-threatening. Many Buddhist cultivators were injured and didn’t have time to recover before being destroyed by the Space Battleships.

When the number of people became disadvantageous, the Buddhist cultivator could not spare anyone to restrain the Space Battleship and could only passively suffer distant attacks, which was quite miserable.

"Roar"

On the side of the Demon Queen, she opened her big bloody mouth and swallowed her opponent, then disappeared and reappeared within Zhu Bin’s formation to begin refining her foe.

"Smack"

The Fire Scale Demon Emperor also successfully killed an enemy; a Buddhist Bodhisattva was torn apart by the Fire Scale Demon Emperor, and the shredded body was swallowed whole, instantly causing the flames on the Fire Scale Demon Emperor to flare up even brighter.

"Haha, old turtle has destroyed Buddhism today too!"

The Shenwu Demon Emperor also dealt with his opponent, who had already been severely injured by Lin Jiang and was finally taken down by the Shenwu Demon Emperor.

"Fire Scale, Shenwu, come help me!"

Cao Ying said to the two Demon Emperors. She wasn’t in very good shape, had not yet recovered, and had still not resolved her current opponent, but she had already taken down an enemy before.

In the distance, Li Qing felt frustrated. Even though she was at the Transmigration Stage, she wasn’t very familiar with the demon race. No one was near her, and her strength wasn’t very great. So far, she hadn’t killed any enemies; she had only managed to hold the enemies back.

"I should also join the fight; otherwise, there will be no one left for me to kill."

Seeing that the situation was settled, Liang Long relaxed his body. He had to join the battle; if he didn’t soon, all the Buddhist cultivators would be dead, and there would be no one left for him to attack. He couldn’t go crazy and harm his own people.

······

"Amitabha."

The chant of Bodhisattva Kongyan was filled with endless sorrow. After two calls, over ten million disciples of the Buddha were left with only him.

Lin Jiang, Cao Ying, the Demon Queen, the Shenwu Demon Emperor, the Fire Scale Demon Emperor, and Li Qing surrounded him from all sides, with dozens of Space Battleships in the distance aiming at him.

The golden-red light in the sky had almost disappeared, leaving only white clouds. At Kong Xiang’s level, he was also about to be defeated.

"Lin Jiang, kill him, kill Kong Yan. I can absorb this true Buddha’s Soul Fragment. Today, he cannot escape."

Xia Qingshan’s excited voice came through, if he swallowed this true Buddha’s Soul Fragment, he might learn more secrets of the immortals.

He felt very helpless; without inheritance, he had fled to Blue Star and had become a little confused about being the Way of Heaven in Blue Star. There were many things at his level he did not know.

"Kong Yan, what do you say, will you surrender?"

"I do not know what surrender means."

"Surrendering means you can reduce the bloodshed in Lingjing Star. Didn’t your Buddhist teachings say to do good deeds and lessen violence? You could gain great merit. What do you think?"

Lin Jiang said that if Kong Yan was willing to surrender, there could be a significant reduction in bloodshed when they counterattack Lingjing Star. He could consider leaving some of the elite from the Buddhist sect behind.

"The bloodshed was caused by you, so why should I care? The Buddhist sect has never made peace with devils."

"Hehe, it was caused by us, Kong Yan. You play the history game very well, haven’t you forgotten why we started fighting? If you hadn’t invaded us, would we have fought?"

"·····"

Knowing he was in the wrong, Kong Yan fell completely silent.

"Ancestor Lin, don’t waste time with him; there’s only an old bald donkey left. Just kill him."

"Yes, Ancestor Lin, even if he surrenders, we should kill him. Because of this old bald donkey, how many of our people have died?"

Several at the Transmigration Stage did not want Kong Yan to surrender. After two battles, who hasn’t lost a few friends or family members to the Buddhist cultivators? Not to mention, just among the Tao Achieving and Demon Emperor levels, seventy or eighty have already died, and many were familiar friends and relatives.

"Since you are unwilling to surrender, I’m sorry, but today you can only die."

Lin Jiang nodded and gave Liang Long a look; Liang Long immediately ordered the Space Battleship to launch an attack.

Bodhisattva Kongyan fiercely countered. Even if he dies, he chooses to die in battle; the Buddhist path has no Bodhisattvas who fear death.

After half a day, Lin Jiang shattered Bodhisattva Kongyan’s body, and the essence of his being scattered like starlight. The war was over.

"Clean the battlefield and count the casualties."

Lin Jiang gave the order and quickly took everyone into the Space Battleship to heal their wounds. After this battle, they were also badly injured and needed time to recover.

Three days later, Lin Jiang was the first to recover. His main injuries had healed, and the others would gradually get better with time.

"Ancestor Lin"

"Liang Long, how is the situation?"

"It’s okay. The forces from Jiang Star and Blue Star total just over two hundred thousand. More than half survived, but we lost hundreds of thousands of robots and over two hundred Space Battleships."

"What about the experts?"

"There are twenty-eight in total, including Tao Achieving and Demon Emperor. No one died in the Transmigration Stage, but they are all injured. Over fifty in the Void Achieving Stage have died, and most of the new generation of cultivators are lost. It’s a shame because many were talented seeds in Tao Achieving."

Liang Long said that these new generation cultivators stood out among billions. They were all geniuses, and unfortunately, very few survived.

"It is a pity, but we have no other choice, do we?"

"Well, at least we won; if we had lost, everyone would be dead."

"Did you capture the Sea-crossing Ark? Is there any research on it?"

"It’s of no use; it’s just a large space treasure, similar to our old flying boats, very outdated technology."

Liang Long looked down on the Sea-crossing Ark; this kind of technology was outdated on Blue Star, they have better ones.

"That’s fine, but it seems we won’t be able to activate the Stargate; it might take several attempts."

Lin Jiang said that twenty-eight people had died, but there were still many seriously injured, including those whose bodies were shattered, who could not participate in opening the Stargate and could not transport back to Blue Star in one go.

"This doesn’t matter; we can just take a bit more time. We also need to hurry back to share this great victory with Blue Star. Besides, we must capture Lingjing Star quickly; the people from the Buddha Sect have a strange way of training, and their mental abilities are strong, allowing them to quickly produce powerful experts."

Liang Long said that although so many experts had died, it was not a big deal for the Buddha Sect, because as long as the base in Lingjing Star remained, they could gather resources to quickly train new experts.

The Buddha Sect is a very mature cultivation system; their talent training is not worse than Blue Star’s. If we go back in a hundred years, they might have new experts again.

"Of course, I am ready to appoint you as the commander for capturing Lingjing Star. What do you think?"

"Ancestor Lin, why don’t we talk about my matters first?"

"What is there to talk about? What is so special about your matters?"

"Hehe, Ancestor Lin is really not afraid?"

Liang Long smiled and said, at his level, whether he intended to or not, he had already revealed a lot, and he felt that Lin Jiang must know many things.

"Huaxia is a country with a population of over ten billion, able to accommodate all kinds of people. This is called being magnanimous, like the sea that holds a hundred rivers."

"Haha, Ancestor Lin, how should I put it? That sounds a bit insincere."

"Then let’s change the words. We are all adults; are good and evil really that important? What matters is the benefit. If you are beneficial to my Huaxia, I will naturally support you. But if one day you go against the interests of Huaxia, then we will be enemies."

"Ancestor Lin is really not afraid of me as an enemy. It seems my strength is still not enough in front of Ancestor Lin."

"This is my confidence; the Buddhist community is stronger than you, right? It doesn’t stop me, does it? I have nothing more to say; if you don’t agree, then let’s do it."

"Haha…"

When Liang Long heard this, he couldn’t help but laugh. At that moment, he found Lin Jiang even more interesting, very interesting.
