Just as the immense force was about to crush the Pudu Mountain Buddha Lord and Zhu Yan into pulp, intense Buddha Light immediately flared from their bodies, blocking Jiang Ping'an's arms.
It turned out that both the Pudu Mountain Buddha Lord and Zhu Yan possessed protective Buddhist treasures.
Fearing that the Pudu Mountain Buddha Lord and Zhu Yan would be instantly slain by Jiang Ping'an the moment they met, Zhong Sheng Temple had specifically bestowed upon them two single-use protective Buddhist treasures capable of withstanding a full-force blow from a mid-level Buddha.
It was worth mentioning that Zhu Yan had not died. Jiang Ping'an's destruction of that wisp of its life-soul origin had merely injured its Divine Soul; Zhong Sheng Temple had already saved it from death.
Zhu Yan instinctively reverted to its mountain-sized true form, then desperately struggled, trying to break free from Jiang Ping'an's "embrace."
The Pudu Mountain Buddha Lord did not transform into the Buddha Golden Body. Instead, taking advantage of Zhu Yan's restored true form forcing Jiang Ping'an's arms apart, he fled Jiang Ping'an's "embrace" with all his might.
He knew all too well how terrifying Jiang Ping'an's strength was.
However, Jiang Ping'an's target was crystal clear. The moment he saw the Pudu Mountain Buddha Lord escape his "embrace," he immediately released Zhu Yan and swung a full-force slap downward at the Pudu Mountain Buddha Lord.
Though the Pudu Mountain Buddha Lord fled at tremendous speed, Jiang Ping'an's giant hand was even faster. Moreover, it spread like a cloud, covering an enormous area.
Bang—
The Pudu Mountain Buddha Lord was sent flying on the spot, smashing from the sky into the ground several times faster than a meteor. The impact blew up the earth and raised a mushroom cloud.
