Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 713: Maitreya’s Severed Arm
Maitreya Buddha, at this time, looked at Kunpeng with a baffled expression, utterly unable to understand why Kunpeng had suddenly assumed an attitude of irreconcilable enmity and attacked him.
It must be said, within the Three Realms and Six Paths, a cultivation level of Quasi-Saint was already considered to be at the pinnacle. To ascend further to the venerable status of Saint was not something achievable solely through effort.
Moreover, the number of Quasi-Saints throughout the Three Realms and Six Paths only totaled to about twenty or thirty, and they were all quite familiar with each other and had thorough understanding amongst themselves.
It was precisely because of this understanding that they usually considered each other's dignity when interacting!
In the eyes of Maitreya Buddha, the actions of Kunpeng today were extremely abnormal.
This left Maitreya Buddha feeling extremely puzzled.
However, Kunpeng completely disregarded what Maitreya Buddha said and continued his attacks on Maitreya Buddha.
Kunpeng's thinking was simple, since the Hongmeng Purple Qi had already fallen into the hands of Maitreya Buddha, he might as well severely injure him first!
As the Demon Clan powerhouse who once suppressed the entire Primordial Continent, Kunpeng was very confident in his own strength.
Apart from Saints, he was confident to take on any adversary in the world.
Not to mention, it now seemed that he had the support of the Heavenly Dao's will, which further enhanced his strength.
"If I had such support of the Heavenly Dao back in the Netherworld Blood Sea, perhaps even Ancestor Minghe wouldn't have been my match!"
Feeling his current strength, which had even surpassed his prime, Kunpeng murmured to himself.
Indeed, because Jiang Liu's Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra was intangible and elusive, no one knew that Jiang Liu had secretly enhanced Kunpeng's skill, not even Kunpeng himself, who mistook this boost in strength for the support of the Heavenly Dao's will.
Of course, since he felt it was the will of the Heavenly Dao supporting him, Kunpeng was convinced that it was destined for the Hongmeng Purple Qi to fall into his own hands.
He was even more certain that the Hongmeng Purple Qi was in Maitreya Buddha's possession.
Crush!
Kunpeng, although a level 100 with some injuries affecting his strength, found the increase in attack power from the Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra more than enough to offset those impacts.
Therefore, when he made his move, Kunpeng had all the power necessary to completely overwhelm Maitreya Buddha.
"Kill, well done, it would be best if we could finish off Maitreya Buddha!"
Jiang Liu, watching the battle unfold, was silently cheering for Kunpeng in his heart.
Of course, besides his inner joy, Jiang Liu was also utterly baffled.
What's going on? Exactly what does Yuanling have to do with anything? Why is Kunpeng reacting so drastically?
"What's going on? Even if you want to fight, should you not clarify the matter first? Have I offended you in any way?"
Under Kunpeng's onslaught, Maitreya Buddha, who was being completely dominated, couldn't bear it any longer and continued to ask Kunpeng.
"Humph, you know very well what you did! Do I need to spell it out?"
Seeing the injuries on Maitreya Buddha worsening, Kunpeng felt sure of his victory and slightly eased his attack as he spoke to Maitreya Buddha.
After all, Kunpeng's goal was not to kill Maitreya Buddha, but to defeat him and obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi from him.
"Know very well? I truly have no idea what you're talking about!" Maitreya Buddha said, shaking his head with a puzzled look.
What sort of tacit understanding? Is there some misunderstanding? I can't understand at all what he's talking about.
"Why have you stopped attacking now?"
Initially, Jiang Liu was hoping that Kunpeng would kill Maitreya Buddha, but seeing Maitreya Buddha's health bar drop to about one-third, Kunpeng suddenly stopped, leaving Jiang Liu somewhat frustrated.
"Humph, even now, you still deny it?" Kunpeng coldly snorted as he looked at Maitreya Buddha before him.
Clearly, he did not believe Maitreya Buddha at all.
"I really don't know! Tell me what it's about!" Maitreya Buddha shook his head, feeling utterly perplexed.
He even pondered quietly for a moment about his recent actions to see if there was anything that might have offended Kunpeng.
However, no matter how much he thought, he couldn't figure it out at all.
"Humph, enough talk, I'll subdue you first!"
Seeing the puzzled look on Maitreya Buddha's face, Kunpeng, who was already convinced of his theory, completely disbelieved him, thinking that he was just pretending to be ignorant.
What was his own objective?
The Hongmeng Purple Qi, of course!
But, could the matter of the Hongmeng Purple Qi be mentioned openly in public?
If news of the re-emergence of the Hongmeng Purple Qi from the hands of Hongyun were to surface, would not all the Quasi-Saints and even beings at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Level from the Three Realms and Six Paths go mad trying to obtain it?
Therefore, faced with Maitreya Buddha's inquiries, Kunpeng naturally would not voice these thoughts aloud.
Make a move, continue to make a move.
No matter what, let's defeat the Maitreya Buddha first...
"What, what is this situation!" Kunpeng looked as if he had an irreconcilable enmity with him, and, why wouldn't he speak while attacking him? Maitreya Buddha truly felt like he was going insane.
However, Maitreya Buddha was, after all, a 93-level Quasi-Saint and the Future Buddha of the Buddhist Sect, with a high cultivation level and many Dharma Treasures.
As his injuries became more and more severe, Maitreya Buddha fell silent for a moment; he no longer wasted his energy questioning Kunpeng's motives and raised his hand, summoning several Dharma Treasures.
"Hmph, you think you're the only one with treasures!?" Kunpeng coldly snorted as he saw Maitreya Buddha take out several Dharma Treasures in one breath.
During the conversation, Kunpeng raised his hand, and soon, a brightly shining Treasure Sword appeared in his hand.
After the appearance of this Treasure Sword, its sharp aura seemed to effortlessly slice through the air.
Mere glances were enough to vividly feel the word "sharpness."
"Witch-Slaying Sword!?" Seeing the sword in Kunpeng's hand, Maitreya Buddha's face turned pale, and he retreated in horror.
The Witch-Slaying Sword, even though not an Innate Treasure, was a formidable weapon forged by the Demon Clan during the great battle with the Witch Clan to counter their indestructible bodies.

In terms of destructiveness, it was believed to be no less than the Four Swords of Slaying Immortals, right?
"Who would have thought, the Witch-Slaying Sword forged by the Demon Clan back then is actually in Kunpeng's hands?" Maitreya Buddha murmured in astonishment as he watched the Divine Sword in Kunpeng's hand.
Simultaneously, he rapidly retreated toward the distance.
His injuries worsened, his cultivation level fell short by a large margin, and now that Kunpeng had even revealed such a treasure as the Witch-Slaying Sword, Maitreya Buddha had no intention of fighting; he prepared to flee.
Normally, perhaps if they saw Maitreya Buddha fleeing in fear, Kunpeng would not have been utterly ruthless.
After all, beings at the Quasi-Saint level are not easy to handle, one never knows what terrifying cards they might hold, right?
But now, what was at stake were treasures like the Hongmeng Purple Qi, so Kunpeng naturally would not let Maitreya Buddha escape.
Thus, watching him turn and flee, Kunpeng directly gave chase.
However, while pursuing him, Kunpeng's mind wasn't entirely focused on Maitreya Buddha; instead, he casually grasped and captured Yuanling, who was watching nearby, and then chased in the direction of Maitreya Buddha.
"Ah!?" Seeing that Yuanling was captured by Kunpeng, Jiang Liu's face changed.
Wanting to intercept and stop Kunpeng, but in all the Three Realms, how many could keep up with Kunpeng's speed?
Jiang Liu and his companions could only watch as Kunpeng's figure instantly disappeared into the horizon.
Leaving aside Jiang Liu's situation, on the other side, even while carrying Yuanling alongside him, Kunpeng's speed was still very fast.
Seeing Maitreya Buddha fleeing ahead, Kunpeng quickly chased after him.
Without much delay, roughly about a quarter of an hour later, Kunpeng caught up with Maitreya Buddha.
Simultaneously, he swung the Witch-Slaying Sword in his hand fiercely towards Maitreya Buddha ahead.
With an overwhelming might, this sword qi filled with sharpness surged directly towards Maitreya Buddha.
Watching the sword qi of the Witch-Slaying Sword chopping towards him from behind, Maitreya Buddha horror-struck, bit his teeth, raised his hand, and a green leaf appeared, growing as it faced the wind to block in front of him.
The sound of tearing cotton resounded.
Under this extremely sharp sword qi attack, the leaf was torn apart.
However, the seemingly fragile leaf was also very tough; although it was ripped apart, it successfully blocked this terrifying sword qi.
"The leaf from the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree?"
Looking at the leaf that had blocked his sword qi, Kunpeng slightly furrowed his brow.
Although the sword qi was blocked, Kunpeng's reaction was very fast; his figure moved, darting past the guard of the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree's leaf, closing in on Maitreya Buddha.
Then, without wasting words, his hand raised the Witch-Slaying Sword again and chopped towards Maitreya Buddha.
"This is bad!"
Watching the Witch-Slaying Sword in Kunpeng's hand chopping directly towards him, Maitreya Buddha was horrified.
The sharpness of the Witch-Slaying Sword was invincible; it could even cut through the body of the Witch Clan, how could he possibly resist?
Amid his terror, Maitreya Buddha reflexively raised his hand.
Buddha blood splattered, and screams rang out.
It was seen that Maitreya Buddha's left arm had been cleanly severed by the attack from the Witch-Slaying Sword...
