I’m Bent on Slaying Buddhas, but the Holy Monk Pretends to Be Pure and Lures Me In

[Two male leads + powerful cultivators on both sides + unconventional, unhinged characters + seductive fake-Buddhist gong + saint-hating, sharp-tongued sword cultivator shou + love-hate relationship + one-on-one, both pure + unhinged imprisonment + conflict between Buddhism and the sword] Note: The Buddhist scion was never corrupted against his will. He has been a demonic embryo and master actor for a thousand years. The sword cultivator isn't tsundere or secretly softhearted! He genuinely hates saints and genuinely slaughters Buddhas, staying stubbornly sharp-tongued to the very end. Fake Buddha, real demon, seductive gong who plays a part throughout as he hunts VS saint-hating, Buddha-slaying, sharp-tongued, unhinged sword cultivator shou Everyone in the cultivation world reveres Jing Xuan as a true Buddha. Only Lu Chuan picks a fight with him every time they meet. He despises Jing Xuan's hypocritical compassion and pristine holiness, spending every day trying to make the Buddha break his vows. He is determined to personally destroy this saint. The Buddhist scion never gets angry. He patiently accepts everything and yields, letting the sword cultivator torment and trample him as he pleases. The entire sect feels sorry for the Buddhist scion's forbearance, never realizing that it is all part of Jing Xuan's carefully laid plan. Wearing a holy facade, he fishes for his prey, waiting for the sword meant to slay a Buddha to take root in his heart. One sword falls at the grand ceremony where he is to become a Buddha, and his divinity collapses completely. Jing Xuan casts off every disguise, his demonic aura surging to the heavens. “You want to destroy my Buddha? Then I'll abandon this body of a Buddha and keep you imprisoned instead.” The defiant sword cultivator once meant to slay a god. In the end, he became the sole obsession of an unhinged demon Buddha, bound to him for life.
