Chapter 185 Demolishing the Shrine, Heavenly Fire Descends
"I almost forgot, there's this damn thing of yours to take apart."
Lu Qian rode the white tiger along the street, slowly walking towards a group of buildings at the end, where a Japanese shrine stood.
After the Japanese invaded and occupied Chinese territory, in order to subdue the Chinese people, they established their shrines and promoted their Shinto religion.
Even when Chinese people pass by, they are forced by the Japanese to bow in respect to the shrine.
"Cutting down mountains and destroying temples is exactly what a Taoist priest is good at."
Lu Qian looked coldly at the shrine at the end of the street, and with a flick of his whisk, three thousand strands of dust emitted a chilling killing intent.
Just as he rode the white tiger to the shrine, two Onmyoji (yin-yang masters) dressed in Shinto attire and wielding kotatsu (bows) shouted angrily at Lü Qian, "Hey, why aren't you bowing?"
"Screw your grandma's legs."
Lu Qian leaped off the tiger's back, his body flipping in mid-air as he waved his whisk at the two Yin-Yang Masters.
Soft dust threads, carrying a sharp gale, slammed into the two Onmyoji blocking their path, tearing their white hunting robes to shreds.
"you......"
The two Onmyoji were knocked back by the whisk. When they reacted and were about to shoot arrows at Lü Qian, a dazzling golden light flashed before their eyes.
"Whoosh—"
With a flash of golden light, two heads flew off, spraying blood that stained the torii gate in front of the shrine crimson.
"Thump!"
Two headless corpses fell onto the path of the spirits, and then a pale white flame landed on them, instantly igniting a raging fire that burned their flesh and soul.
Lu Qian held the peach wood sword in his hand, its blade gleaming with a brilliant golden light that never faded, and wisps of sharpness flickered and emanated with the golden light.
He carried his sword and whisk, stepping over the corpse and heading into the shrine. When he reached the torii gate, he casually waved his hand, and golden sword light leaped out.
"boom!"
The sword light rose from below, cleaving through the middle of the torii gate's crossbeam, and its immense force directly overturned the two pillars to the ground.
The torii gate is similar to the gate of a shrine. Lü Qian's sword strike was equivalent to breaking through the gate directly. He stepped on the fallen beam and walked inside unhurriedly.
"Your cave entrance is too small and too low; it's not even big enough for me, Little Lu Zu, to bend down and crawl through."
"Where are the Onmyoji? Today, Lu Zu will take your heads!"
Stepping over the dilapidated torii gate, Lü Qian walked along the sacred path toward the interior, brandishing his wooden sword as he went.
A sharp sword aura leaped from Lü Qian's hand, sweeping across the surrounding buildings. Golden sword light streaked through the void, destroying all the shrines and temples along the way.
"Boom boom boom..."
The wooden pillars and black tiles, originating from the land of China, seemed to find liberation under the light of the sword, shattering with a crash.
Cracks spread across the pillars, and the temple swayed under the onslaught of sword light. In the blink of an eye, one shrine building after another collapsed into the dust and smoke.
"The enemy's attack!" (The enemy's attack!)
The loud commotion from the entrance naturally alerted the group of Onmyoji in the shrine, who rushed towards Lü Qian on the Shinto path, wielding various magical artifacts.
In an instant, countless arrows, each bearing a white talisman, shot towards Lü Qian.
"The land of China is not a place for barbarians like you."
As Lü Qian watched the group of Onmyoji appear from the shrine, he spun his wooden sword again, and the sword light that was originally aimed at the shrine slashed towards the Onmyoji.
At the same time, he stomped heavily on his foot, and the Tai Chi Ruyi Force stirred up rolling waves of earth in front of him, forming a human-high earthen wall that blocked the arrows shot towards him.
"May the Heavenly Venerable bestow boundless blessings upon you, this humble Taoist has arrived."
The sharp arrows, imbued with talismans, pierced the earthen wall, causing cracks to spread rapidly. In the next instant, a burst of white flames exploded.
"boom!"
The blazing firelight illuminated all directions, and the surging heat wave shattered the earthen wall. A figure dressed in a red and white Taoist robe and holding a flaming staff stood before Lü Qian.
His expression was neither joyful nor sorrowful. He twirled the flaming staff in his hand, and the dazzling white flames drew a magnificent flower in the air.
The flaming stick flowers bloomed in mid-air, like a stream of light and fire, burning away all the incoming arrows.
Immediately afterwards, the Taoist in the red and white robes spun his flaming staff again, and the brilliant flames were flung out by the staff, engulfing the Yin-Yang Masters who were drawing their bows and nocking their arrows in front of him.
"boom!"
The brilliant fireworks, like a shooting star, streaked across the sky and exploded suddenly among the Onmyoji crowd, spreading a burnt smell and heatwave in all directions.
Lu Qian emerged from behind the red-and-white-robed Taoist, sword in hand. The two, one wielding a sword and the other a staff, clashed and flashed, their golden flames surging like a tide, sweeping across everything around them.
"Boom boom boom..."
"call out--"
As the two were dismantling the shrine and walking along the Shinto path, a sharp arrow pierced the air like a bolt of lightning, heading straight for Lü Qian.
"Ding!"
Lu Qian's eyes flickered, and with a wave of his whisk, the fine dust seemed to transform into sharp blades, blocking the incoming black shadow arrows.
"Here you go."
He channeled his Tai Chi energy into his hands, the flowing, yet powerful force weaving and evolving across the whisk.
The dust, which was originally as hard as cast iron, transformed into a stream, binding the arrow and allowing it to gather power once more. With a flick of his wrist, Lü Qian sent the arrow flying back in the direction it had come from.
"what!"
A jet-black arrow pierced the chest of an Onmyoji, who instantly turned into ashes.
"Amaterasu no Tatsujin is willing to do it!" (Please Amaterasu!)
An old priest emerged from the central temple, carrying a mirror. As sunlight shone on the mirror, the dazzling light seemed to be confined by the mirror and scattered across the old priest's entire body.
As he chanted the obscure and difficult incantation, the sunlight shone even brighter, but before he could fully gather his strength, a surging cloud of fire descended from the sky.
"Hey, you monster, take this!"
The Taoist priest in red and white robes, leaning on his flaming staff, leaped into the sky, the red and white flames flashing across the sacred path.
The next instant, his figure appeared in mid-air, his arms dragging a flaming staff as he slammed it down, the lifelike fire dragons on the staff baring their fangs and claws.
A blazing cloud of fire enveloped the staff, transforming the once fiery staff into a fiery meteor descending from the heavens, crashing down with immense heat and overwhelming force.
Above the shrine, the once clear blue sky was now painted as if heavenly fire had descended, with crimson-gold light illuminating half the sky, as if the heavens were raging.
"boom!"
A crimson-gold cloud of fire enveloped the meteor, carrying immense force, and crashed down upon the old priest below.
The dazzling golden light on the opponent's body instantly vanished under the scorching flames. The flames landed on the ground like a bursting dam, washing away everything around them.
Amidst the flames, the magnificent golden sword light flickered continuously, like shooting stars in a fiery galaxy, crashing headlong into the surrounding buildings.
"Boom boom boom..."
The Milky Way reversed, flames and golden light engulfed the surrounding shrines, turning the once magnificent shrines into ruins in the blink of an eye, and then into ashes in the flames in the next instant.
Lu Qian stood amidst the surging heatwave, calmly watching the surrounding shrines vanish into nothingness.
"May the Heavenly Venerable bestow boundless blessings! In my land of China, one can honor oneself and revere true Buddhas and immortals, but there is no place for you to stand!"
