Chaotic Battle

The Buddha statue inside the main hall had now revealed its head.

But unlike the golden body below the neck, the head looked like withered wood—shriveled and blackened. Other than its eyes, its facial features had already lost all shape.

At that moment, blood began to stream from its eye sockets!

As for the Two-headed Corpse, it stood outside the hall without entering, completely motionless.

"This isn't an illusion, is it?"

Zhang You picked up a small stone from the ground and hurled it at the Buddha statue's head.

Clang!

When it was still several inches from the head, a barrier suddenly appeared and blocked the stone.

Then the Buddha statue moved!

One of the statue's arms, which had been resting flat across its thigh, suddenly rose and slapped toward Zhang You and Old Daoist in the blink of an eye.

Clang!

Old Daoist controlled a spirit sword and sent it shooting forth to meet the attack.

Pfft!

The spirit sword was knocked flying, and Old Daoist spat out blood as he was sent hurtling backward.

Yet the Buddha statue's palm pressed forward without pause, still coming down on Zhang You.

Zhang You steadied Old Daoist, then clenched his fist. Blood energy gathered as he threw a punch to meet it head-on.

Boom!

A shockwave rippled outward.

A deep fistprint was left on the Buddha statue's palm, and it abruptly withdrew its hand.

Zhang You, meanwhile, took three steps back.

That strike from the Buddha statue was already comparable to an attack from the Two-headed Corpse outside.

This was another tough bone to chew!

Zhang You felt that if he underwent Great Body Tempering once more, dealing with it would not be so strenuous!

But he still needed a great deal more blue-white energy before the next Great Body Tempering.

At that moment, a crack split open across the Buddha statue's head, revealing two rows of sharp teeth within!

"This thing is smiling?"

Zhang You was speechless.

Suddenly, the Buddha statue rose into the air. A beam of golden Buddhist light appeared from nowhere above its head, illuminating the entire hall.

If not for that wicked, bizarre head, Zhang You might even have thought that a Buddha had descended!

"Lay down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot! Lay down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot..."

Piercing voices exploded within Zhang You and Old Daoist's minds!

Before long, their consciousness began to blur, and an urgent desire to cast everything aside and seek death surged up within them!

"Fuck!"

Zhang You was greatly alarmed. The White Tiger phantom within his Dantian opened its eyes once more, and two bolts of lightning exploded inside his Dantian.

He instantly regained his senses, but the Buddha statue's chanting still echoed relentlessly through his mind.

When he looked at Old Daoist again, he had already started taking off his clothes!

"Fuck, what the hell are you doing?! Wake up!"

Zhang You slapped Old Daoist twice across the face, but Old Daoist still did not come to his senses. He had even untied his belt and was about to take off his pants.

Four Symbols: White Tiger: Thunder Roar!

Zhang You gathered his blood energy, suppressing its power, and unleashed a sonic howl at Old Daoist, laced with faint electric arcs.

Pfft!

Old Daoist was forcibly jolted awake. Combined with the inherent damage of Zhang You's technique, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and clarity returned to his eyes.

"Defend yourself, quickly! Don't listen to that voice!"

Zhang You warned him.

Old Daoist instantly understood what had just happened. He hurriedly took out several talismans and flung them out, forming a circle around himself and Zhang You.

"This is a soundproof talisman array. It should help a little!"

Old Daoist explained as he put his clothes back on.

At that moment, the Two-headed Corpse at the entrance of the main hall actually began striding inside.

The golden light above the Buddha statue's head flared once again, and the Buddhist chanting that drilled into their minds grew even stronger.

"Lay down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot! Lay down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot..."

Old Daoist's soundproof talisman array had been pierced through, and the voice once more appeared in their minds.

Zhang You and Old Daoist resisted the Buddhist chanting.

When they saw the Two-headed Corpse approach, they immediately moved aside.

Sure enough, the Two-headed Corpse walked straight toward the Buddha statue.

When the two were two meters apart, the Two-headed Corpse stopped. The red lump of flesh on its chest began to throb like a heart.

If you enjoy this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you do not lose it next time.

A surge of green evil energy emanated from its body, forming densely packed spectral forms shaped like human heads across its back. They collectively roared at the Buddha statue.

"Dogs biting dogs?"

Zhang You had been ready to make his move, but he had not expected the two evil entities to lock eyes with each other!

The density of yin energy within the hall rose another level.

Both Zhang You and Old Daoist felt the chill!

"Go!"

Old Daoist felt that he was about to be unable to hold on.

"We probably can't leave! Look!"

At some unknown moment, dozens of monks had appeared at the entrance to the hall!

Their entire bodies were dried up, their clothes tattered, and wooden fish clappers were held in their hands. Their lips moved continuously, clearly strengthening the all-pervading Buddhist chanting.

Pfft!

Old Daoist spat out several more mouthfuls of blood. The situation did not look good.

Though Zhang You could withstand it, he still found the Buddhist chanting unbearably irritating.

"Hmph!"

After recovering a little of his blood energy, red light condensed in Zhang You's hand once more, and he charged straight into the crowd of monks.

The monks were like puppets and did not even know how to resist.

Zhang You was delighted by this. Before long, he had swept the monks away completely.

He also gained quite a bit of blue-white energy!

He was one step closer to the next Great Body Tempering.

At that moment, the power of the Buddhist chanting truly dropped by a great deal.

The Two-headed Corpse immediately launched an attack on the Buddha statue!

Dense masses of tentacles surged toward the Buddha statue.

Seeing this, the Buddha statue flew into a rage and manifested three heads and six arms. It fended off the Two-headed Corpse's attack while taking the chance to strike a palm at Zhang You.

"Watch out!"

Old Daoist cried out in alarm, hurriedly retreating toward the outside of the hall.

Zhang You did not need Old Daoist's warning; he had already sensed the fierce attack!

"Perfect timing!"

Zhang You immediately counterattacked, knocking the Buddha statue back with one palm strike.

Then he flashed before Old Daoist and shattered several of the Two-headed Corpse's tentacles with a punch.

"You retreat first!"

He threw Old Daoist out of the main hall.

At that moment, a stream of golden evil power and a stream of green evil power shot toward him at the same time.

Zhang You reached out, seized both streams of evil power in his hands, and crushed them directly.

Then his figure flashed as he joined the battle.

He first hit the Buddha statue with a Thunder Roar, then struck the Two-headed Corpse with a Shatter the Void.

All kinds of supernatural power raged through the main hall as three figures fought in a tangled mass.

Rumble!

After an unknown amount of time, the main hall could no longer withstand the three-way melee. The escaping shockwaves directly blasted the hall apart.

Old Daoist continued retreating, watching the scene ahead with secret dread.

Though he was at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining Realm, he was clearly nowhere near enough.

Boom!

A figure smashed down before Old Daoist.

"Damn it, this is hard to deal with!"

Zhang You climbed out of the crater, looking somewhat helpless.

In his left hand, he held a snake head, while his right hand gripped a severed golden arm.

Though the golden arm was huge, it was like a toy in Zhang You's hand.

He had originally planned to fish in troubled waters.

Whether he or one of the other parties managed to kill one evil entity, he would be able to complete his next Great Body Tempering. After that, eliminating the remaining evil entity would be a piece of cake.

But judging from the result, it was clearly not that easy.

"Let's withdraw first!"

Zhang You grabbed Old Daoist and sprinted away into the distance.

At the spot they had just left.

A bull horn crashed down, blasting a deep crater into the ground.

A massive golden foot also stomped down, causing the entire area to sink several meters.

Very soon, the two powerful auras tangled together once more. From afar, it looked capable of destroying heaven and earth!
