Absolute Choice Chapter 548

"I not only died, I even went to the Western Paradise where I met Buddha. He told me that an old bald donkey was using His name to engage in shameless acts. So He sent me back and told me to tell the old bald donkey—The Buddha says: Go fuck yourself!"

Speechless sneered at Reverend Misery Sea and slowly walked over. He seemed to stumble as he walked but it was not because his feet were weak but because his limbs appeared overly stiff. It was probably because he had been 'lying as a corpse' for several days. His limbs had probably turned numb from all the lying.

The statement was a mixture of ridicule and derision, cursing Reverend Misery Sea for his shamelessness. If not for the circumstances, Shi Xiaobai and Mu Lengxi would have given a big thumbs up and praise him for a 'scolding well done!'. However, the duo only felt pleasantly surprised, shocked and puzzled.

Speechless had been revived? Or did he never die, to begin with?

They naturally did not believe his statement of 'going to the Western Paradise, only to be sent back by Buddha'. However, they could not figure out what was going on.

Upon receiving such mockery, Reverend Misery Sea continued maintaining his 'benevolent' smile. He said softly, "A sin, it's truly a sin. Buddha's name is not to be used in vain. Benefactor, your words are overly impulsive."

Speechless responded with a sneer and just as he was about to say something, Tyger Li spoke up first, "My son doesn't think before he speaks. Reverend, please don't put it at heart."

Tyger Li had a calm expression despite saying so. His tone did not sound apologetic at all, nor did he reprimand Speechless. It was as if he 'doted' his son.

Reverend Misery Sea gave a deep, meaningful look at Tyger Li and said with a smile, "The Buddha says: Not willing to forgive or pardon, is, in fact, hurting yourself. This Penniless Monk might not have the magnanimity of Buddha, but it's definitely not terrible. Your son is still young, so it cannot be helped that he might be slightly arrogant. It is understandable so This Penniless Monk will naturally not be angered. However, don't assume a bad deed is too small to matter. Your son does not show respect to Buddha and he speaks vulgarly. There is a need for him to cultivate his body and mind so as to hone his temperament. If your son doesn't mind, he can come to Shaolin to cultivate for a period of time. Buddhism can train one's mind. Reading Buddhist scriptures can inculcate a heart like Buddha's. Striking a wooden fish clears one's mind. You will gain knowledge of past lives, a great opportunity awaits you!"

Speechless rolled his eyes when he heard that. He scoffed and said, "You are already a failure being a human, so how can you succeed becoming a buddha? Old Bald Donkey, you have been abstaining from meat your entire life but you have been walking a completely wrong path. There's no loss to missing your Buddhist opportunity. However, This Emperor has a gatha for you as a kind opportunity. Listen well. Speechless says: If there are no teeth blocking one's shame, air leaks when speaking. A black heart stinks the mouth, making it no different from farting!"

No matter how good Reverend Misery Sea's 'self-restraint' was, he could finally not tolerate such derision. His expression changed slightly as a hint of fury flashed in his eyes. However, Speechless's identity was not something that he could easily act against. He could only turn to Tyger Li and said, "Premier Li, it looks like your son has a lot of misunderstandings with This Penniless Monk. It seems This Penniless Monk shouldn't be staying here to be treated this way."

Reverend Misery Sea began to use his 'departure' as a threat, so as to get Tyger Li to hold back Speechless.

However, Tyger Li apparently did not read in between the lines. He nodded and said, "Alright, Reverend, please go ahead. Since I have family matters to attend to, I won't be sending you off. Take care."

Reverend Misery Sea was stunned. He pointed at Shi Xiaobai and said, "But about vanquishing this evil scum…"

Tyger Li suddenly looked 'strangely' at Reverend Misery Sea and said, "Since my son isn't dead, there is no murder. Calling him an 'evil scum' is truly a misunderstanding. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared, there is naturally no need for any vanquishment."

Reverend Misery Sea looked completely flabbergasted. He could not understand the sudden change in Tyger Li's attitude.

Why did Tyger Li, who was eager to kill Shi Xiaobai with his own hands a moment ago, has now suddenly turned so 'understanding'?

Reverend Misery Sea could not help but say, "But this 'evil scum' had not only slapped you thrice. He had also used sinister methods to injure the Seven Wolfskins. He is extremely tyrannous and vicious. He will probably become the cause for disaster in the future. How can he be spared?"

Tyger Li said calmly, "Reverend, you had also mentioned 'only Buddhist enlightenment can allow one to shed off the abyss of worldly suffering. Repent and ye shall be saved'. Since a butcher can also become a buddha, why can't this young man that is yet to become an adult do so? The Buddha says: All sentient beings are equal, and he also says, 'I was you, you will be me'. It is not true that this boy does not have a Buddhist fate, and that he might not one day become a buddha. Reverend, you keep insisting on killing him. It seems you lack the heart of Buddha and also the benevolence of Buddha."

When Reverend Misery Sea heard that, he nearly vomited blood. When did he become the one that insisted on killing Shi Xiaobai? Was Tyger Li a demon that knew how to push responsibilities? Furthermore, he had used three Buddhist gatha phrases to educate him. Did Tyger Li think so lowly of him?

At that moment, Speechless had already walked in front of Reverend Misery Sea. He looked down at Shi Xiaobai, who was being crushed to the ground with a 'Five Finger Mountain'. He looked up and said coldly to Reverend Misery Sea, "Are you still not releasing This Emperor's friend?"

Reverend Misery Sea drew a gasp. He had never been treated so impolitely before. Furthermore, he had been cursed and treated with contempt by two young juniors in one night?

Tyger Li also spoke out, "Release him. Reverend, you shouldn't persist in your errors."

Reverend Misery Sea immediately felt incensed. He nearly could not control his 'Buddhist heart'. The father-son duo was attacking him as though he was an outsider that was not welcomed. What was wrong with Tyger Li? Why did he seem to change into another person the moment Speechless Li appeared? He turned from a cold-blooded tiger and crafty fox to a 'great father' who shielded his son?

Reverend Misery Sea's had a hesitant expression. He did not wish to spare Shi Xiaobai, who had limitless potential and had borne a grudge with him.

"There's no need."

Shi Xiaobai suddenly grunted softly.

There's no need?

Reverend Misery Sea looked down and immediately, his pupils constricted slightly.

He saw Shi Xiaobai, who was being repressed by his 'Five Finger Buddhist Seal' suddenly turned dark green in color. The muscles in his arms bulged out like dragons and this throat roared like a beast's. With both hands on the ground, he slowly got up while resisting the 'Five Finger Buddhist Seal'!

A surging energy emitted from the boy's body. With his hands held to the ground, he was like an overlord lifting a cauldron. He crawled up from the ground and seemed like a prostrating behemoth that stood up!

Boom!

The 'Five Finger Buddhist Seal' was forcefully shattered by Shi Xiaobai's strength! Following that, he went from the Transcendental Second Transformation back to his human form. His face looked somewhat pale and it was clear that he had used all his strength.

However, he had truly shattered the 'Five Finger Buddhist Seal' with his strength alone! Reverend Misery Sea had failed to completely repress the boy!

Reverend Misery Sea's eyes were filled with disbelief. He refused to believe that a Psionic Mortal Realm weakling could resist and destroy his 'Five Finger Buddhist Seal'. It was something impossible!

Reverend Misery Sea immediately felt immense killing intent. A freak like Shi Xiaobai was someone he had never seen his entire life. And he had already borne a grudge against him. He would definitely become a source of disaster for him in the future.

This child was not to be left alive!

Reverend Misery Sea's eyes turned sullen.

Tyger Li glanced at Reverend Misery Sea with a ruminative look as an undetectable sneer flashed along the corners of his lips.

Speechless looked at Shi Xiaobai, who had shattered 'Five Finger Buddhist Seal'. He gave a big thumbs up and praised from the bottom of his heart, "Awesome!"

Shi Xiaobai grinned and said, "Likewise. You scolded well. It was a joy and it was relieving!"

Speechless laughed heartily and suddenly pricked up his brows and said, "But, why were you green?"

Shi Xiaobai did not respond and also pricked up his brows and said, "And why are you now alive?"
