Chapter Nineteen: Fahai's Unexpected Assistance
Just as Liu Yu, Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing, and Heisha were locked in fierce combat, a dazzling golden light suddenly flashed like lightning, and Fahai's familiar figure appeared amidst the smoke-filled battlefield. He wore a cassock, held a staff, and had a solemn and dignified expression.
"Amitabha, well done, well done!" Fahai clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and chanted incantations. His dignified appearance made people turn their heads to look at him.
Liu Yu's eyes widened, her mouth agape in astonishment, almost forgetting to defend herself against Hei Sha's attack. "Fahai, what are you doing here? We don't need you!"
Fahai suddenly opened his eyes, glared at Liu Yu, and said irritably, "Hmph, this humble monk is not here to help you, but this Black Fiend has committed many evils and disturbed the peace of the world. As a monk, how can I sit idly by and do nothing!"
Xiaoqing pouted, brandishing her sword with impressive skill, saying as she fought, "Oh, old monk, that sounds nice, but who knows what you're really up to? Maybe you're just trying to steal the credit since we're about to win!"
Fahai, enraged, glared and bristled: "You little brat, stop spouting nonsense! This humble monk is devoted to Buddhism and only seeks justice; how could I possibly have such wicked thoughts as you claim!"
Seeing this, Hei Sha seized the opportunity to burst into laughter, his voice sharp and piercing: "Fahai, you want to join them too? What a joke! Have you forgotten your grudges with the White Snake and the Green Snake?"
Fahai's expression turned serious, and he looked firmly at Heisha, saying loudly, "Heisha, today this humble monk will subdue you and restore peace to the world. As for past grievances, let's set them aside for now and eliminate this great evil first!"
With that, Fahai brandished his heavy staff and, like a tiger descending from the mountain, joined the battle with overwhelming force.
While frantically dealing with Hei Sha's relentless attacks, Liu Yu couldn't resist teasing him, "Master Fahai, you'd better be careful not to drag us down! It would be such a shame if we lost because of you!"
Fahai roared and swung his staff, repelling several small demons that pounced on him. "Boy, don't be so arrogant! Focus on dealing with the enemy, and stop wasting your breath with words!"
Bai Suzhen smiled slightly, her robes fluttering, and her magic light flashing as she said elegantly, "Master Fahai, since we are fighting together, I hope you will take good care of me."
Fahai replied, "Benefactor Bai, concentrate on fighting the enemy and don't get distracted!"
The group worked together and their tacit understanding gradually developed, which made Hei Sha somewhat overwhelmed and flustered.
Xiaoqing seized the opportunity and stabbed Hei Sha in the arm with her sword. Then she jumped away triumphantly, saying, "Let me show you how powerful I am! See if you still dare to be arrogant!"
Black Fiend was enraged, his eyes bulging like copper bells. "You bunch of bastards, don't be so smug! Wait till I use my ultimate move, you'll see!"
Fahai unleashed powerful Buddhist teachings, and for a moment, Buddhist light shone everywhere, enveloping the entire battlefield in golden light.
Liu Yu was so blinded by the light that she couldn't open her eyes. She exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Oh my, Master Fahai's Buddha light is too dazzling! I can't even see where the enemy is!"
Fahai said irritably, "Stop talking nonsense and focus on the battle! Don't let this light cloud your judgment."
Just then, taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, Hei Sha unleashed a vicious spell, sending black smoke, like a venomous snake, towards Bai Suzhen.
Liu Yu was extremely anxious and shouted loudly, "Suzhen, be careful!"
Fahai reacted swiftly, waving his staff like a golden barrier to block the fatal blow.
Bai Suzhen, still shaken, said gratefully, "Thank you, Master Fahai. If it weren't for you, I fear I would have met with dire consequences."
Fahai said, "No need to be polite. Let's deal with this monster first, and we can talk about the rest later."
After a fierce battle, the group gradually gained the upper hand. Hei Sha's moves became chaotic, and most of the lesser demons were killed or injured.
Xiaoqing said with a grin, "Black Demon, you're done for! Quickly surrender!"
Black Fiend was panting heavily, sweat pouring down his face, but he still stubbornly insisted, "Don't be too happy! I... I won't admit defeat so easily!"
Liu Yu put her hands on her hips and teased smugly, "Oh, even now you're still being stubborn! Look at you, you're as pathetic as a stray dog!"
Fahai roared, his voice booming like a bell: "Black Demon, surrender now! Stop your futile struggles!"
Finally, with everyone working together and cooperating closely, Black Demon was successfully subdued, collapsed to the ground, and unable to move.
Liu Yu clapped his hands, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Phew, finally got rid of this guy. My back and waist are killing me!"
Fahai said, "Although we have subdued the Black Demon this time, evil in the world has not been completely eliminated. Everyone must be more careful and must not let their guard down."
Xiaoqing snorted and sheathed her sword. "Old monk, we know that without you telling us. You'd better mind your own business!"
Fahai shook his head helplessly and turned to leave.
Watching Fahai's departing figure, Liu Yu said thoughtfully, "This Fahai, sometimes he's actually quite reliable."
Bai Suzhen smiled gently, her beautiful eyes sparkling, "In any case, we owe a great deal to him this time. If it weren't for his timely help, the outcome would have been uncertain."
After cleaning up the battlefield and taking a short rest, the group prepared to embark on a new journey. However, unbeknownst to them, an even greater crisis awaited them on the road ahead…
