"Amitabha."
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva chanted the Buddha's Name. The compassion on his face faded, replaced by a solemn expression.
"Since you refuse to see reason and insist on making an enemy of Buddhism, I have no choice but to use force to subdue you today."
"I shall deliver you from suffering and show you the boundless power of the Buddha's teachings!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Diting suddenly shuddered beneath him and let out a terrified wail before collapsing to the ground, trembling.
Ksitigarbha: "?"
He looked down at his spineless mount, his brow furrowing even deeper.
The fight hadn't even started. Why was it already cowering?
Xiruan raised an eyebrow and said in an adorably fierce voice, "Deliver me from suffering?"
"Hmph! Just you wait. I'll shave all the fur off that big dog of yours and turn him into a baldie, too. Let's see how you'll ride him then!"
Diting was so scared his soul nearly flew out of his body.
No way!
He would never take part in this fight, even if it killed him!
Seeing that he couldn't count on his mount, Ksitigarbha didn't hesitate any longer.
"Great might, heavenly dragon; World-Honored Ksitigarbha; Buddhas of Prajna, Prajna, Paramita!"
He chanted the mantra and pointed his monk's staff at Xiruan from afar.
In an instant, Buddha Light blazed throughout Yanluo Palace.
Countless golden swastika seals appeared out of thin air, forming a Heavenly Net as they descended upon Xiruan.
Every seal contained the vast power of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's great vows, with an inexhaustible power to suppress evil spirits and ghosts.
The Ten Yama Kings were enveloped by the Buddha Light and fell to their knees on the spot.
"Just what I wanted!"
Instead of retreating, Xiruan charged forward, swinging her Milk Bottle at the countless Buddha seals.
"Let me show you how strength can overcome every trick!"
"The Milk Bottle breaks all magic!"
Boom!
The Chaos Baby Bottle collided with the countless Buddha seals.
The all-conquering purifying Buddha Light silently vanished the instant it touched the bottle.
It was as if the two forces belonged to entirely different dimensions.
"What?!"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's pupils contracted sharply.
His Buddhist magic had actually... failed?!
In that split second of shock, Xiruan had already broken through the Buddha Light and rushed up to him.
"Bald-headed liar, take my Milk Bottle!"
A gigantic Milk Bottle rapidly grew larger in Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's eyes.
Gray currents shimmered across it as it tore through the laws and crushed space and time, smashing toward him with unstoppable force!
It was too fast!
He could only instinctively ignite his protective Buddha Light!
"Vmm—!"
The enormous Chaos Baby Bottle smashed into the protective Buddha Light in front of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
The Ten Yama Kings' eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"Crack..."
A sharp, unmistakable sound of shattering rang through the deathly silent Yanluo Palace.
"No—!"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva let out a scream of utter terror.
His Dao! His magic! The power of his vows, of which he was so proud! In front of that seemingly ordinary Milk Bottle, they were unbelievably fragile!
"Bang!"
The protective Buddha Light shattered on impact.
It became a shower of golden specks, sparkling like a meteor shower.
The Chaos Baby Bottle kept flying and smashed squarely into Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's solemn, dignified face.
"Pfft—!"
A golden spray of blood bloomed tragically in midair.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was sent flying.
"Rumble!"
The wall of Yanluo Palace caved in.
"Rumble, rumble!"
The Second Hall, the Third Hall, the Fourth Hall... One after another, they were smashed through...
Time seemed to freeze.
King Qin Guang stood with his mouth agape. He'd been gloating just a moment earlier, but now he was frozen in place.
The tablet in King Chujiang's hand clattered to the floor. He didn't even notice.
King Zhuanlun's face went deathly pale, as if his CPU had burned out.
The remaining seven Yama Kings wore much the same expression. Every one of them stood dumbfounded.
What had they just seen?
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva...
The Great Being who had guarded the Underworld for countless eons, a Quasi-Saint Peak...
The one before whom even the ten of them had to bow their heads in respect...
The giant who had the Two Saints of the West backing him and ruled the Underworld with an iron fist...
Had just been knocked flying by a Milk Bottle swung by a three-and-a-half-year-old toddler?
Was... was that even possible?!
"M-Master Tongtian... What kind of monster did he create?" King Qin Guang murmured, his lips trembling.
He was now one hundred percent certain that this was Master Tongtian's trump card—and the kind that could punch a hole clean through the heavens!
So this was what a Saint's methods looked like. This was it!
He'd seemed to be under house arrest, utterly despairing, but in truth he'd been secretly making arrangements and preparing such a formidable weapon all along!
And with a single move, it had taken Ksitigarbha down!
Ruthless! Absolutely ruthless!
Master Tongtian, you'd been hiding this so well!
The hearts of the Ten Yama Kings filled with boundless fear and regret.
They regretted listening to Ksitigarbha's lies and detaining the True Spirits of the Interception Sect.
And now they'd brought this disaster upon themselves!
This Little Ancestor had dared to knock Ksitigarbha flying with one swing of her bottle. Were the ten of them, mere Da Luo Golden Immortals, even enough to be a snack for her?
"P-What divine might, Senior!"
Holy Mother Wudang took a deep breath, forcing down the turmoil raging in her heart.
Xiruan looked at the line of holes stretching into the distance and furrowed her tiny brows in frustration.
"Huh?"
She muttered in her babyish voice.
"He's so weak."
"I wasn't even trying. How'd he go flying already?"
She'd thought she'd get to play a little longer with the impressive-looking bald guy.
"Thud!"
King Qin Guang's legs gave way, and he dropped onto his bottom.
What had he just heard?
She wasn't even trying, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was already knocked senseless?
What if she actually tried...
Would the entire Underworld get smashed to pieces by one swing of her Milk Bottle?!
Fear swept over the Ten Yama Kings like a freezing tide, drowning the last of their hopes.
They had to run. Right now!
The farther they got from this Little Devil King, the better!
They were just about to move.
Xiruan's big, bright eyes turned toward them.
She pointed at them and asked in a clear, childlike voice, "Hey, you guys in black."
"I knocked that bald factory owner away. Now it's your turn, you foremen."
"Are you handing over the people or not?"
"And are you paying their wages or not?"
