Undead Mage with No Skill Cooldown - Chapter 437: You Are Stronger Than Me
Chapter 437: Chapter 437: You Are Stronger Than Me
Thinking of this,
Lu Ran directly walked towards Jin Yuanxiang.
Instinctively, Jin Yuanxiang stepped back abruptly, his entire body trembling.
Celestial Gang Qi naturally erupted outward.
At the same time, Jin Yuanxiang’s skin color visibly changed.
It transformed into something resembling a rainbow-colored glaze, as if he were made of glazed porcelain, looking quite magical.
“Celestial Gang Glaze Body?” Lu Ran raised an eyebrow and asked.
“Yes.” Jin Yuanxiang’s face turned grim, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke.
It’s not that he truly wanted to fight Lu Ran, but rather that Lu Ran’s previous show of strength had frightened him.
A small skill, or at least what appeared to be a small skill, had directly killed Master Kuhai!
This attack, even with his Celestial Gang Glaze Body, could definitely not withstand it, not at all!
After all,
in terms of strength, even though Jin Yuanxiang was extraordinarily gifted and had cultivated the Liaodong Celestial Gang to a great depth, he was merely on par with Master Kuhai.
Both were in the realm of Body Refinement, and their Defense Power was not much different.
Although the Liaodong Celestial Gang had other Taoist Skills that could be used,
any Taoist Skill was meaningless in the face of Lu Ran’s attack!
After all, he was directly killed!
Being forced to reveal the Celestial Gang Glaze Body was indeed an instinctual reaction.
“Honestly, I quite admire you,” Lu Ran said with a light tone.
“What?” Jin Yuanxiang was stunned.
“For the sake of your disciples, you endure being the Buddhism’s dog alone, silently bearing this humiliation, just to let the Taoist Sect continue on. Someone like you is not foolish, though you don’t follow the rules, not the Taoist Sect’s rules, but I think your actions are not wrong, and I even admire you,” Lu Ran stated.
Jin Yuanxiang was stunned as he looked at Lu Ran.
Then,
Lu Ran’s tone changed.
He continued, “But, whatever you do, how you treat your disciples, that’s none of my business. You wanting me dead is a different matter, we each have our own agenda.”
Jin Yuanxiang’s heart suddenly sank.
In the end, he still wanted to kill him!
At this time,
the people behind Jin Yuanxiang spoke again.
“Then just kill him, having such a Temple Master is embarrassing for us too.”
“Yeah, if he wants to be the Buddhism’s dog, he should do that by himself, why drag us into it?”
“We are disciples of the Taoist Sect; no matter what, we are unwilling to be the Buddhism’s dogs.”
“Even though Jin Yuanxiang’s Tao Lineage hasn’t been passed down yet, it doesn’t matter.”
“Even without the Tao Lineage, our Liaodong Celestial Gang can still compete with the Buddhism!”
…
Amidst the chatter, Lu Ran was surprised—did this group just give up on Jin Yuanxiang like that?
Just left him be?
“Shut up!” Cen Yunuo suddenly shouted.
The shout even startled Lu Ran.
Lu Ran turned back in surprise to look at Cen Yunuo.
The latter was looking angrily at the crowd.
Then at Jin Yuanxiang, he said, “You haven’t experienced the days of oppression by Buddhism, you don’t understand the hardship and suffering involved. Jin Yuanxiang was wrong first, but after all, he protected all of you. You all talk nonsense about being dogs? In front of Buddhism, the one nodding and bowing was him, not you! He didn’t do it for himself, but for you!”
Of course,
Jin Yuanxiang abandoned Cen Yunuo, disregarding the life and death of Lu Ran and others, but that’s another matter.
But speaking objectively,
Jin Yuanxiang did what he did for the Liaodong Celestial Gang, even Lu Ran admired him, let alone Cen Yunuo.
The Daluo Palace ended up like this because of its irreconcilable conflict with Buddhism.
This is a matter of beliefs.
Even knowing that doing what Jin Yuanxiang did could preserve the foundation of the Daluo Palace, it would still not follow through.
But Jin Yuanxiang did, and the blame should not be on him for doing it, but for breaking the rules!
His intention was good.
This is all that can be said.
At this time,
Jin Yuanxiang turned to look at the disciples of the Liaodong Celestial Gang behind him, opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say.
In the end, he could only smile bitterly.
Shaking his head, he said, “Fine, it is indeed my fault, I understand. For Liaodong Celestial Gang, I let Yunuo, who has been set up by the Taoist Sect for so long, be sent to Buddhism; that is also my fault. To preserve the Liaodong Celestial Gang, I have been too extreme and don’t care about your lives, and that is also my fault. But before I die, I need to complete one thing.”
Hmm?
Lu Ran raised an eyebrow, looking at Jin Yuanxiang.
Jin Yuanxiang continued, “I can die, you can kill me, but before I die, I want to pass down my Liaodong Celestial Gang’s Tao Lineage, then you can kill me anytime.”
Jin Yuanxiang could die, but the Tao Lineage could not be lost!
To do this much for the Liaodong Celestial Gang, outsiders could say Jin Yuanxiang broke the rules.
But his long-protected disciples of Liaodong Celestial Gang couldn’t blame him!
Just as Cen Yunuo mentioned.
They have not endured suffering; their peace over these years was entirely thanks to Jin Yuanxiang nodding and bowing to Buddhism behind their backs!
They avoided suffering not because they were strong,
but because they were ignorant of the facts!
Even now,
with Jin Yuanxiang facing death, his first thought was preserving the Liaodong Celestial Gang’s Tao Lineage!
Truthfully, Lu Ran’s admiration for Jin Yuanxiang rose another level.
He was even considering whether to kill Jin Yuanxiang.
However,
mentioning something like Tao Lineage…
Lu Ran looked at Jin Yuanxiang calmly and said, “No need to pass on the Tao Lineage, I don’t even know how many years it’ll take you to pass it down.”
Possibly decades?
Who knows.
Lu Ran’s intention was to inform Jin Yuanxiang that the Liaodong Celestial Gang’s Tao Lineage might not be passed on even if he tried.
“I understand that, I know it might take many years, but I am not doing this out of fear of death, I…”
Jin Yuanxiang wanted to explain.
But passing on the Tao Lineage could take decades.
He was already quite old; isn’t that just not wanting to die?
He had no words to say, and no explanation.
At this point,
he suddenly noticed a wave in the air next to Lu Ran.
Hmm?
Jin Yuanxiang doubted his own eyes.
Because that was the Celestial Gang Qi, which he was very familiar with?
How could Lu Ran have it?
Isn’t he a Professional?
Thinking this, the Celestial Gang Qi next to Lu Ran burst even more prominently.
Jin Yuanxiang’s eyes widened; he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
It really was Celestial Gang Qi!
Lu Ran really knew Celestial Gang Qi!
That was their Liaodong Celestial Gang’s Celestial Gang Qi; how could Lu Ran possibly know?
But that wasn’t the main point.
Because what Lu Ran wanted to showcase wasn’t the Liaodong Celestial Gang’s Celestial Gang Qi.
It was the foundation of the Tao Lineage, the Celestial Gang Glaze Body!
Immediately after,
Lu Ran’s skin also began to transform.
The glazed, treasure-like color gradually appeared, shocking everyone present!
Only Cen Yunuo pouted and said, “Seems it really is.”
Lu Ran’s previous guess was correct.
The rewards of the mission were triggered based on the situation on the spot.
