Chapter 367: Juliusun's First Battle with Maitreya
The next day, the morning light broke through the sky, and a faint golden glow appeared in the sky, but it failed to dispel the solemn atmosphere on the battlefield.
The two armies faced each other, dark clouds covered the city, as if even the air had solidified into a sharp blade, foreshadowing the coming storm.
The sound of war drums rang out like thunder, shaking people's hearts, and echoed across the vast plains, announcing that the prelude to the battle had officially begun.
At this time, Jiang Ziya turned to look at Guang Chengzi beside him and asked:
"Big Brother, what should we do next? Do we need to arrange for someone to challenge us?"
"No need," Guangchengzi's face was as calm as water, but his eyes were as deep as the abyss. He slowly glanced at Wen Zhong and others who were on high alert, and a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Then, he turned to Juliusun who was standing beside him and said:
"Junior Brother Juliusun, you will be the one to fight in the first battle. You must defeat Maitreya!"
Upon hearing this, Ju Liusun frowned slightly, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, and he bowed and said:
"Don't worry, Senior Brother. I will definitely fulfill my mission. Although Maitreya has some skills, in my eyes, he is just so-so."
After saying this, Juliusun flashed and arrived at the center of the battlefield. He looked at Maitreya in front of him and said loudly:
"Fellow Daoist Maitreya, you can come and fulfill the promise we made yesterday! Today, let's see who is stronger between you and me."
When Mi Le heard this, his expression remained calm, as if a spring breeze was blowing on his face, and he was not disturbed. He turned his head slightly, nodded slightly to Wen Zhong and others beside him, and briefly explained a few words.
After finishing the instructions, Maitreya walked slowly, and each step seemed to be on nothingness, light and steady, until he reached the opposite side of Kurusun.
When he arrived in front of Kuliusun, Maitreya put his hands together, bowed, and said in a gentle and sincere voice: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist. I have already accepted the appointment and I will keep my promise."
Ju Liusun sneered, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes: "If that's the case, then I won't be polite."
After saying this, he waved his sleeves, and his clothes fluttered, as if carrying the power of mountains and rivers. A stream of light flashed, and a sharp sword with a cold glow instantly appeared in his palm. A faint green light flowed on the sword body, revealing an unparalleled sharp aura.
"Watch out for the sword!!" Juliusun shouted, and suddenly jumped up. His figure suddenly jumped up at this moment, like an arrow shot from a bow, cutting through the sky. Several sword lights flashed instantly, like falling stars, rushing towards Maitreya with the power of destroying the world.
The sword lights were as fast as lightning and sharp as unstoppable. Each one contained the cultivation of Juliusun Daluo Jinxian in the middle stage and superb swordsmanship.
When Maitreya saw this, a hint of sharpness flashed in his eyes, but he also revealed a bit of solemnity. He knew that Juliusun's strength was equal to his own, and if they wanted to decide the winner, they could only look at the difference in Taoism and spiritual treasures.
"Hmph! You think you can hurt me with just a sword light?" Maitreya snorted coldly, slightly turned his body, and easily dodged the first sword light.
At the same time, he formed seals with his hands and murmured:
"Buddha's light shines everywhere, and all things return to oneness!"
As he hummed, circles of golden Buddha light suddenly appeared around his body. The light was warm but not dazzling, as if it could purify the distracting thoughts in people's hearts.
The Buddha's light instantly condensed into a beam of light, which met the sword light of Juliusun in the air, bursting out with brilliant light.
"boom--!!!"
The two forces collided violently in the air, making a deafening sound.
The sword light and the Buddha light intertwined together, as if the two ultimate forces between heaven and earth were contesting each other, forming a scene that was both magnificent and weird.
Juliusun sneered upon seeing this, and slashed towards Maitreya with his sword even more fiercely.
"Hmph! I'd like to see how many of your attacks you can block!" His voice revealed endless self-confidence and arrogance.
Maitreya was not to be outdone. He waved his hands and the Buddha's light suddenly turned into a golden shield, blocking Juliusun's sword light one by one.
"You are so arrogant! You will know how strong I am if you try me!"
Juliusun sneered, the sword light increased instead of decreased, his body shape was unpredictable, like a ghost, every attack was aimed directly at Maitreya's vital points.
Maitreya, on the other hand, responds to all changes with the same attitude, and the Buddha's light follows him like a shadow. No matter how the sword light of Juliusun changes, he can always cleverly resolve it with the Buddha's light, while looking for opportunities to counterattack.
The two of them fought back and forth in the air, the sword light and the Buddha light intertwined into an impenetrable net, completely covering the surrounding space.
They were moving so fast that people could hardly see their figures. One could only see a series of afterimages flashing in the air, accompanied by bursts of roars, as if the heaven and earth were also shaking with this battle.
Juliusun suddenly shouted, and the sword light condensed into a dazzling beam of light, rushing straight towards Maitreya.
Upon seeing this, a trace of determination flashed in Maitreya's eyes. He formed seals with his hands, and the Buddha's light instantly surged, transforming into a huge golden light curtain, meeting Juliusun's fatal blow.
"Bang!!!" The two forces collided violently in the air, making an earth-shaking sound.
The light curtain and the light pillars intertwined, as if they were going to tear the entire world apart.
Under the impact of this force, the surrounding space began to twist and deform, as if even time was affected by this battle.
However, at this critical moment, Maitreya suddenly flashed and cleverly avoided Kurukshetra's attack. At the same time, he counterattacked, and the Buddha's light turned into a huge golden palm, slapping Kurukshetra fiercely.
Juliusun reacted quickly, and with a flash of his sword, he blocked the attack.
The two separated again, each standing in the air, staring at each other, full of fighting spirit.
Jin Zha stood not far away, witnessing this thrilling duel, and felt slightly shocked.
He took a step forward and walked to Wen Zhong's side, asking with some doubt and curiosity in his tone:
"Uncle Master, can Senior Maitreya defeat Juliusun? They seem to be evenly matched."
Upon hearing this, Wen Zhong frowned slightly and looked at the two people in the air with deep eyes. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said:
"I'm not sure either. Both Juliusun and Maitreya are disciples of the saint. They are at the same level, but their cultivation methods are different. So, it depends on which one is better, the Jade Purity Immortal Method or the Eight Hundred Side Doors."
Upon hearing this, Jin Zha nodded in agreement.
"Then... Uncle Master, which kind of Taoism do you think is better?" Jin Zha couldn't help but speak again. He also wanted to know what Uncle Master Wen Zhong thought about these two Taoisms.
Wen Zhong's eyes flickered when he heard this. He was well aware of the sensitivity of this issue, especially in the current situation with many Western disciples present behind him.
Therefore, he chose to answer Jin Zha by voice transmission, "Of course, the Jade Purity Immortal Technique is better. After all, the Grandmaster's Shangqing Immortal Technique and the Jade Purity Immortal Technique are from the same source, how can they be compared with the eight hundred unorthodox techniques?"
After hearing this, Jin Zha smiled knowingly, "Master, you are absolutely right!"
The battle in the air became more and more intense. Every confrontation between Maitreya and Kurukshetra was like thunder from heaven that struck the earth and shocked people's hearts.
At this time, Maitreya sacrificed a lower-grade innate spiritual treasure - a short and soft mace.
This mace looks ordinary, but it actually contains infinite power. As Maitreya swings it, the mace emits bursts of cold light and attacks Juliusun fiercely.
Seeing this, Ju Liusun snorted coldly, with a trace of disdain in his eyes. After all, as a disciple of Yuqing Saint, he naturally looked down on a low-grade spiritual treasure, even if it was innate.
He just shook his wrist, and the immortal rope came out of a cave like a spirit snake, and with a sharp sound of wind, it wrapped around Maitreya.
