Tathagata Palm?

Kuang Chu'e swiftly flew above the East District. Looking down at the rampaging vines, he furrowed his brows, giving off an imposing air without even getting angry.

The Four Elders of Great Wei immediately steered their giant fan over to greet him.

"You've come too."

Kuang Chu'e said calmly, his indifferent expression seeming to show that he didn't take the Four Elders of Great Wei seriously.

Although the Four Elders of Great Wei had lived for over a thousand years and were old immortals of Great Wei, they weren't the strongest people in the dynasty.

The cultivator with the goatee smiled. "I didn't expect the West Buddha Dynasty to send you. May I ask what your purpose is?"

Kuang Chu'e glanced at him. "To spread Buddhist teachings and deliver Strange City from suffering."

At those words, the Four Elders of Great Wei's expressions darkened.

Put another way, he was saying: This city belongs to the West Buddha Dynasty now!

Kuang Chu'e surveyed the city below, his brow furrowing even deeper. He murmured, "The Qiling Holy Lotus. I didn't expect it to emerge again. Could there be someone with the Qiling Holy Body in Strange City?"

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he raised his right hand and brought his palm down.

In an instant, a golden palm as vast as a mountain descended from the sky. It shoved aside the billowing clouds of dust and pressed down on the gigantic vines. The surrounding buildings seemed tiny beside the golden palm, and the whole city could feel the ground shake.

One palm pressed down on the city!

Everyone was stunned. Even the reporters in the helicopters were dumbstruck.

The citizens watching on their phones and televisions were just as shocked.

Was this magic?

"My god! What is that? Magic? A divine power?"

"The Tathagata Palm?"

"Could that monk be a bodhisattva or an arhat?"

"That kind of power... Is he even human?"

"Now that's a true cultivator!"

The whole city erupted. Kuang Chu'e's entrance was utterly shocking, surpassed only by the earlier scene of Su Yi standing alone against an army of hundreds of thousands of demons.

Wu Qingyao, Mo Haosheng, and the other disciples of the Luoshui Sect were also left with their scalps tingling.

This was the great Buddha of the West Buddha Dynasty, a terrifying existence of immense power that surpassed Fusion Heart-Stirring!

Su Yi was stunned too. Even he wasn't confident he could withstand that golden palm.

The man was definitely beyond Fusion Heart-Stirring!

Human cultivation was divided into Qi-Surging Eight Meridians, Spirit Sea Enlightenment, Core-Holding Dharma, and Fusion Heart-Stirring. Fusion Heart-Stirring was equivalent to the Demon Race's Supernatural Demon King. In other words, this Buddha was stronger than the Black Scale King, Laojun Qiyang, and the Four Elders of Great Wei!

"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?"

Su Yi murmured to himself. Buddhas seemed to love exorcising demons almost as much as Taoist priests did.

The story of the Legend of the White Snake was famous throughout the land.

Especially Fahai's line: "Benefactor, your wife is a snake."

Standing atop the Golden Disk, Kuang Chu'e kept his brows furrowed, not relaxing them for a moment.

"I didn't expect the Qiling Holy Lotus to be so powerful the moment it emerged. I can't attack it again, or the whole city will be in danger."

His cultivation was the highest among those present, and he could sense the terrifying killing intent coming from the Qiling Holy Lotus.

If he attacked the Qiling Holy Lotus again, it would likely devour the people of the whole city and offer them up in a blood sacrifice.

Just then, he suddenly noticed Su Yi.

What powerful blood and qi!

Kuang Chu'e immediately thought of the Half-Demon who had killed the Black Scale King. Ever since Strange City descended, all Seven Dynasties had taken a keen interest in it, from the royal courts to the common people. The Black Scale King's gruesome death had also made Strange City's Half-Demon famous throughout the world.

With that thought, Kuang Chu'e flew straight toward Su Yi.

The Golden Disk carried him above the shopping mall, and the reporter in the helicopter turned the camera toward them.

When the people across the city saw Kuang Chu'e and Su Yi about to face off, their hearts tightened.

There were countless stories in Huaxia about monks exorcising demons. Just like Su Yi, they couldn't help expecting the worst.

Su Yi was now the whole city's savior. They didn't want to see Kuang Chu'e kill him.

"Are you the Half-Demon who killed the Black Scale King?"

Kuang Chu'e asked. His expression held neither disgust nor delight; he was utterly calm.

Su Yi's face was just as expressionless. "So what if I am? What do you want with me?"

"You saved the whole city single-handedly, which shows that you have a kind heart. If you turn back from the wrong path, a bright future awaits you. Why not come with me to the West Buddha Dynasty, cast off the demonic nature within you, and join the Buddhist faith?" Kuang Chu'e said bluntly. His voice rang with such force that the cameras in the distance could pick it up.

The whole city erupted in an uproar.

Could anything good come of a demon joining a Buddhist sect?

The Four Elders of Great Wei looked grim, but they didn't dare interrupt Kuang Chu'e.

Kuang Chu'e belonged to the West Buddha Dynasty's royal family. To offend him was to offend the entire West Buddha Dynasty.

Great Wei was flourishing, but it still fell short of the West Buddha Dynasty, which ranked second only to the mighty Tang Dynasty.

Su Yi frowned. The Four Elders of Great Wei had invited him, and now the West Buddha Dynasty was inviting him too. Had he become the flavor of the month?

But he didn't want to become someone else's lackey!

"Sorry, I'm used to going my own way. I don't want to join any of the Seven Dynasties," Su Yi refused.

The Four Elders of Great Wei were delighted, while Kuang Chu'e furrowed his brows.

In the distance, Mo Haosheng and the other disciples gaped. The West Buddha Dynasty had invited Su Yi, and he still dared to refuse?

If it were them, they would have accepted on the spot!

The West Buddha Dynasty was a terrifying power, second among the Seven Dynasties. It had plenty of sects and Lineages beneath its banner that were even stronger than the Luoshui Sect!

Wu Qingyao studied Su Yi, her beautiful eyes full of curiosity.

Was this the sword genius that Emperor Su had taken an interest in?

"You've strayed onto the demonic path. Without someone to guide you to the right one, you'll harm the Human Race sooner or later. I can't let you go. I hope you'll reconsider!"

Kuang Chu'e continued, and Su Yi's expression turned cold.

When the invitation didn't work, he went straight to threats?

The Four Elders of Great Wei also frowned, deeply disapproving of Kuang Chu'e's behavior.

Of course, if they had Kuang Chu'e's strength, they would probably do the same.

"Refuse! Keep refusing!"

Mo Haosheng roared silently in his heart. If Su Yi refused again, he would surely infuriate Kuang Chu'e!

He didn't want Su Yi to join the West Buddha Dynasty. If he did, Mo Haosheng would never be able to avenge himself.

Sure enough, Su Yi refused again. "I don't like being threatened!"

As he spoke, Su Yi turned his hand over and brought out the Zhouwu Sword, ready to fight.

The sight sent the whole city's blood rushing. Everyone yearned for freedom, and Su Yi's attitude earned their admiration. But it also made the citizens worry for him.

Kuang Chu'e flew into a rage. In front of so many people, Su Yi had shown him such disrespect. Did he really think he was Sword Saint Xia Tianyi, with the right to refuse an invitation from the Seven Dynasties?

Boom!

Kuang Chu'e's aura exploded, churning the clouds of dust around him. In that instant, he became an Angry Buddha, sweeping away every demon in the world.

Su Yi snorted and unleashed his own power. His muscles bulged, bursting his white shirt into strips of cloth. Beneath the sunlight, his upper body gleamed with a metallic sheen, as if it had been forged from steel bars—a striking sight.

He couldn't run. He still had to wait for Nan Xiaopao, so he had no choice but to fight!

Besides, he wanted to test the results of his recent cultivation!

"This guy is asking for death! He even dares offend the West Buddha Dynasty!"

"He's gotten carried away. He thinks killing the Black Scale King makes him invincible!"

"Hahaha, this Half-Demon is dead!"

"That great Buddha is stronger than our sect master. He's as good as dead!"

The Luoshui Sect disciples began whispering among themselves, all convinced Su Yi was doomed.

Su Yi: Damn, it's only been sixty thousand words, and how many fights have I already gotten into?
