Chapter 296: All Special Effects, For Preaching
Next, it's time for Zheng Fa to showcase his acting skills!
The Spiritual Power in his Golden Core, operating under the "Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation", is circulating according to the "Ten Thousand Demon True Solution".
According to Jiao Wuji, except for a few minor differences, it is nine-tenths similar to the original Cultivation Technique.
Of course, relying on this alone won't fool the Five Sects Dao Fruit.
Yet, he has the Fusang Wood!
With the inheritance of two generations of Demon Emperors, even if the Great Freedom Demon Emperor himself appeared, he would dare to scold, "Where did this impostor come from?"
The Ten Thousand Demon Banner in his hand, to make an inadequate analogy, is like a simping dog meeting a goddess. Zheng Fa doesn't even need to speak; the Magical Treasure is already opening its arms, as if eager to engrave Zheng Fa, its master's name, on its pole...
The combined power of Fusang Wood and Ten Thousand Demon Banner Dao Fruit creations makes Zheng Fa's aura truly rival that of the original Great Freedom Demon Emperor!
The old monk's eyes were full of suspicion, staring at Zheng Fa, seemingly in disbelief—after all, wielding the power of a Dao Fruit with merely a Golden Core is truly inconceivable.
It's hard not to provoke doubt.
However, when glancing at the Ten Thousand Demon Banner, the old monk couldn't help but recall the unfortunate Great Freedom Demon Emperor, not only dead but also having his laboriously refined Magical Treasures obediently in Zheng Fa's hands, evoking unspeakable sorrow.
Raising his head again, he saw Zheng Fa's slightly confident smile.
Yet, he couldn't quite fathom Zheng Fa's reality.
The Tianhe Sect's Sect Leader Yan and the other four Sects' Dao Fruit were also looking at Zheng Fa with surprised and suspicious eyes.
Zheng Fa could actually guess their thoughts—
The death of the Great Freedom Demon Emperor happened some time ago, and after initial shock, there is bound to be some speculation, possibly mixed with various assumptions.
On the other hand, the high and mighty Xuanwei Five Sects do not wish for any sect to truly equal them—this is evidently contrary to the overarching interests of the Five Sects.
During the earlier probing, if he showed even the slightest sign of weakness or flaw, one could imagine what the situation would be.
Zheng Fa's gaze swept from left to right, over the faces of the Supreme Dao Daoist, Sect Leader Yan, Yaochi Dao Fruit, the old monk, and the Haori Mountain individuals, his eyes unwavering, instead he lightly smiled and said:
"Since it's about discussing the Dao, I have some minor tricks. I invite the venerable monks of Leiyin Temple to appraise them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a long rainbow with Zhang in a flash, instantly appearing in front of the old monk.
The old monk didn't expect that Zheng Fa, with his mere Golden Core, would be not only unfazed but would also dare to attack him, especially with the Rainbow Transformation Technique, which is the fastest Divine Skill under Heaven, allowing him to suddenly approach!
On the Ten Thousand Demon Banner, myriad beasts stood up, roaring at the sky, beastly howls resonating like waves.
The space around the banner seemed like the sea surface below, showing rising and falling ripples, even seeming unable to withstand the Magical Treasure's power, about to be torn apart.
It shook heaven and earth, greatly displaying the power of the Dao Fruit Magical Treasure!
Above and below, apart from the violent sound waves, there was no other noise.
Zheng Fa was actually striking at the old monk of Leiyin Temple with full force!
The old monk was shocked and infuriated, yet unwilling to retreat, and he was not about to retreat!
Though he harbored misgivings, facing a mere Golden Core cultivator, there's no way he would retreat without a fight!
His dry hands clasped together, and the Buddha behind him, crossing the sea of clouds, enveloped him, its fingers lightly pointing, meeting the Ten Thousand Demon Banner.
Yet the Ten Thousand Demon Banner in Zheng Fa's hand suddenly stopped before this finger.
The Buddha hovered in the air, seemingly as if its old waist might suddenly falter.
Zheng Fa, again transforming into a rainbow light, unexpectedly flashed away, smiling from afar: "In discussing the Dao, I stop at one point, as my small Spell dare not contend against Leiyin Temple's great methods."
In his words, it wasn't clear whether he truly felt inferior or wished not to disrupt harmony.
But the next moment, the old monk's eyes were suddenly drawn to a string of prayer beads in Zheng Fa's hand.
The Wuzhi behind him's complexion changed, reaching for his wrist but groping only air, immediately shouting at Zheng Fa: "My..."
Zheng Fa smiled at Wuzhi: "Apologies."
Then he gently extended his palm, allowing the prayer beads to slowly fly back to Wuzhi.
Wuzhi received the beads, his face flushed as his uncle looked at him.
Everyone was silent.
Earlier, with the overwhelming aura of the Ten Thousand Demon Banner, only a few had seen a flash of Positive and Negative Five Elements Divine Light in Zheng Fa's hand, seizing the Magical Treasure's prayer beads.
At this moment, everyone understood—though Zheng Fa claimed inferiority earlier, he had indeed scored a little victory.
Suddenly, the Supreme Dao Daoist smiled: "Cheng Kong said your abilities aren't ordinary, and indeed he was not wrong!"
"This flying technique is impossible to guard against!"
"This treasure-snatching method... is also impressive."
Sect Leader Yan of the Tianhe Sect and the other three also nodded, their foreheads showing signs of slowly withdrawing, their faces reflecting somewhat of schadenfreude.
However, the old monk's expression was less agreeable.
In some way, Zheng Fa took a crafty approach, pretending to attack him only to seize Wuzhi's prayer beads.
But the issue remains—regarding both status and strength, Zheng Fa is significantly lesser.
If he spoke about fairness and deceit under the watchful eyes of the Five Sects, with thousands of cultivators below, how could he open his mouth?
In this exchange, he was unable to do anything to Zheng Fa, yet Zheng Fa managed to snatch the junior's Treasure Bead right under his eyes, resolving the outcome simply.
Moreover, Zheng Fa stopped once it reached a point, explicitly stating he was no match for Leiyin Temple, politely granting it enough face.
If he continued entangling...
Unless he was sure to slap Zheng Fa to death, otherwise, it would truly be a joke, even easily leading to a deadly enmity.
He stared at Zheng Fa for a long time, recalling Zheng Fa's previous dead enemy, who truly was dead... leaving him in hesitation.
Besides, the other four Sects did not seem to be on his side.
