Imperial Guards The moment he set foot on the mountain road, all the strong men in the temple felt it, and powerful auras quickly awakened, threatening to completely leave the blasphemer on the mountain.
In the dark night, these auras are so bright, like a lamp, so bright that it can be sensed from ten miles away.
Of course, they are more like living targets than enlightening lights.
Therefore, Ning Chen took out Po Shang Bow without hesitation, bent his bow over the moon, and shot terrifying arrows across the sky, shooting towards the light group in the dark night.
The next moment, a violent vibration was heard. Before the several strong men who had just woken up had time to react, they were hit hard by arrows, and their breaths quickly weakened.
"Abominable"
In the nearest temple, a figure appeared, with hair dyed red, looking very embarrassed.
"Leave a hundred soldiers behind," Ning Chen glanced at the leader Imperial Guards and said.
"Yes!" Leader Imperial Guards took the order, and with a wave of his hand, a hundred soldiers quickly surrounded him, trapping the injured Buddhist strongman among them.
The battle broke out immediately. One hundred soldiers, all under Eighth-Rank, faced an injured ninth-grade man. Without saying a word, they immediately fought together.
Ning Chen took the remaining nine hundred Imperial Guards and continued up the mountain without hesitation. No one knew how many of these one hundred soldiers would survive, but they had to keep moving forward.
Time waits for no one. Once they go up the mountain, those strong men who usually don't see the light will come out, and they can't delay for a moment.
Moreover, there are four Buddhist Vajra on the mountain, which is the biggest problem.
Ning Chen is not sure that he can win, so before that, he must try his best to maintain the best condition.
On the road to the mountain, the strong men in the temple walked out one by one, and more and more soldiers were left behind. When the group was about to reach Du'e Temple on the mountain, there were less than five hundred Imperial Guards behind them.
The giant Buddha on the mountain was already in sight. When everyone gathered their strength and continued to move forward, another ninth-grade strongman appeared with a powerful aura. It was already in the late nine days. This time, the leader Imperial Guards personally stayed, stopped the strongman blocking the way, and watched everyone go up the mountain.
Ning Chen took the remaining four hundred people up the mountain. In front of the majestic giant temple, the atmosphere was a bit dull. As soon as everyone reached the top of the mountain, the Du'e Temple door slowly opened, and eighteen topless and golden-looking strong men walked out, followed by four Buddhist Vajra.
"Golden-Bodied Arhat"
Seeing the sudden appearance of eighteen powerful Buddhists, Ning Chen's heart gradually sank. He knew that this battle would be difficult to win.
Each of the golden-bodied experts in front of me has cultivation levels between Eighth-Rank and Eighth-Rank. With Indestructible Vajra Body, they are estimated to be able to fight against the ninth grade. Together, the ninth grade can only defeat them.
There are no ninth-level experts around him, and there are only three Eighth-Rank experts left. The gap is too big, and it is impossible to win.
The most troublesome thing is that he has to deal with the four Vajras of Buddhism and has no time to care about him.
"Hou, don't worry, we will try our best to hold off these eighteen Golden-Bodied Arhats." At this moment, a Eighth-Rank strongman among the Imperial Guardss stepped forward and said firmly.
"Survive," Ning Chen said only one sentence, and immediately pulled Little Mingyue towards the front.
Four Buddhist Vajra blocked the road, the atmosphere on both sides was stagnant, and the battle was about to break out.
The three Eighth-Rank Imperial Guards strong men, together with the remaining four hundred or so soldiers, also surrounded the eighteen Golden-Bodied Arhat, fighting for the most precious time for their lord.
"One Imperial Roaring Waves Split Ten Thousand Miles"
Knowing that the battle could not be delayed, Ning Chen moved Sword One with ink in his hand, and made the ultimate move. Suddenly, the stormy waves swept over him, and his sword broke through thousands of miles.
With a shocking power, the four Buddhist Vajra joined forces to block the attack, but they were still unable to withstand the huge force, and they all took half a step back.
The moment the four people stepped back, Ning Chen's eyes condensed, snowflakes surged around his body, his sword condensed Frost Bloom, thousands of Sword Intent condensed into one sword, and he instantly arrived in front of a Buddhist Vajra.
Clang, the sound of gold and stone, the Buddha's palm blocked the move, and then took a step back.
"World Waves Flow East"
Ning Chen moves again, flips the palm to raise the Qi, and blasts the Qi sea in the Dantian of the former with one palm.
With a bang, King Kong saw red and took ten steps back.
In just the blink of an eye, 20% of the true energy in Ning Chen's body has been consumed. Scroll of Life operates quickly, constantly recovering the lost true energy, but it cannot keep up with the continuous bursts of extreme moves.
Seeing the desperate attitude of their opponents, the four Buddhist Vajra refused to show weakness, clasped their hands together, and the golden light suddenly became strong. Amidst the Sanskrit sounds, the four statues of the Bodhisattva who saved the world appeared, with compassionate faces, and slowly stretched out the palms of the Buddha.
"Hmph"
Ning Chen As soon as he stepped on it, the blue brilliance around him continued to rise, and the vast waves rose again, turning into a huge wave and crashing down from the sky.
The Buddha's palms were heavy, and the huge waves collided with each other. The terrifying aftermath spread, and the earth was devastated and collapsed.
As strong as Ning Chen, Heavenly Tome, who lives in two volumes, cannot bear the power of the four Buddhas. The corners of his mouth are stained red and his body is injured.
On the other side, the battle situation of the more than four hundred Imperial Guardss was equally grim. Eighteen Golden-Bodied Arhats could not be touched by their palms and could not be hurt by swords, which made Great Xia Imperial Guardss, who had always been good at fighting, feel deeply powerless.
"Can't wait any longer"
Ning Chen was heartbroken, regardless of the danger, he rolled up Little Mingyue and flew towards the palm of the giant Buddha statue.
Seeing this, the four Buddhist Vajra stamped their feet and quickly followed.
Ning Chen's eyes narrowed, and his hand Ink Sword was inserted into the Buddha's palm. Po Shang Bow appeared immediately, and four terrifying arrows shot out.
The arrows that were forcibly shot were stained with blood. After four arrows, Ning Chen's skin cracked and blood overflowed. It was obvious that he had exceeded his endurance limit.
With his current strength, he could only shoot five arrows at most, and by the sixth arrow he was already extremely reluctant.
In today's battle, he had already shot eight arrows. Although there was a gap between the front and back and the arrows were not shot continuously, his body could not bear it and began to feel weak.
The silver arrow light roared wildly and arrived in the blink of an eye. When the four Buddhist Vajra who were still in the air saw the arrow light flying towards them, they were unable to dodge and could only hurriedly resist with their bodies.
"Bang bang bang bang bang"
After four loud noises, all four of them were knocked out by the force of arrow light and fell to the ground, leaving big craters.
The opportunity was rare and fleeting, Ning Chen did not dare to delay, and slapped Ink Sword into the Buddha's palm with one palm. Scroll of Life, Scroll of Earth, and the blue cyclone were running at the same time. With the help of the gap created by Ink Sword, they madly devoured the Buddhist power on the giant Buddha.
Terrifying and vast fluctuations erupted in an instant, and the heaven and earth suddenly changed as if there was a reaction. The dark clouds avoided the moon, and there were lightning and thunder, as if they were feeling sad for the day when the Buddha died.
"Ah"
The next moment, Ning Chen let out a long and painful cry, his black hair flew up, and the golden light around his body was overwhelming. The unparalleled Buddhist orthodox power poured into the sea of Qi, instantly breaking through the long-standing ninth-level barrier.
"Boom!"
Nine days of thunder descended, and the thunder calamity that should not have occurred in the realm of the Houtian Realm suddenly came at this moment. A huge thunder with a thickness of more than ten feet fell and struck the blasphemer in the palm of the Buddha.
Thunder Tribulation descended, and two volumes of Heavenly Tome felt it, and flew out of the sea of Qi in Ning Chen's Dantian, rushing into the Thunder Tribulation. The golden light shone brightly, and began to swallow the power of the thunder to quickly repair itself.
However, Houtian Realm should not have experienced such a calamity after all. The thunder calamity only fell once and then quickly dissipated, returning to calm.
The two volumes of Heavenly Tome were only repaired less than one-third. After the thunder tribulation disappeared, they were once again submerged in the sea of Qi in Ning Chen's dantian.
At this moment, the four Buddhist Vajra also stood up from the pit, their figures flashed, and they stood in line. Then they pinched the Buddha's seal with their hands, golden light rose into the sky, and the image of the Buddha came to preach.
"Om, ma, ni, ba, mi, hum."
The four of them joined forces to recreate the supreme martial arts of Buddhism. Suddenly, Six-Syllable Mantra appeared, embodying the supreme holy power of Buddhism, and suppressed it mercilessly.
Facing the extreme of the Buddha, Ning Chen on the Buddha's palm endured the pain all over his body and forcibly absorbed the infinite Buddha's power under his body. With a flip of his palm, waves rose up in the sky, and the waves continued to roll between the heaven and the earth, just like the collapse of the Milky Way in the Nine Heavens, turning into a huge waterfall and crashing down.
The next moment, Changsun Lineage's strongest move was used against the supreme martial arts of Buddhism. The two poles collided. Mijie Mountain felt like it was suffering from a catastrophe. Large boulders suddenly fell down. The Buddha statue that was riddled with holes finally couldn't bear it and quickly collapsed.
In the horrific aftermath, four Buddhist Vajra flew out covered in blood and fell to the ground. They were vomiting and red. For a moment, it was difficult to get up.
The Buddha statue collapsed, and Ning Chen fell down with Little Mingyue. The golden light on his body was uncertain, and his aura was unprecedentedly powerful.
After reaching the ninth level with the help of Buddha's power, Ning Chen was finally no longer afraid of any innate strong man. He was filled with murderous intent and walked step by step into the eighteen Golden-Bodied Arhat formation.
Imperial Guards, Seventh-Rank all retreated, watching their Hou end the battle.
In the middle stage of the ninth grade, Eighth-Rank is undoubtedly one-sided. Golden-Bodied Arhat is very human and has extremely strong combat power. However, Ning Chen is also very human. Two volumes of Heavenly Tome are added to his body, as well as Changsun Lineage's unique skills. He just relied on his unparalleled foundation to forcibly destroy Golden-Bodied Arhat's indestructible golden body.
This was the day when the Buddha died. None of the eighteen Golden-Bodied Arhats were spared and all died. The other four Buddhist Vajras were also disabled by Ning Chens and will never be able to practice again.
The battle at the foot of the mountain is also coming to an end. The living are returning one after another, while the dead are buried in a foreign land forever.
In the end, only three hundred of the one thousand Imperial Guards were left, the Imperial Guards leader was seriously injured, and only one Eighth-Rank strong man survived. In a life-and-death battle, both sides suffered extremely heavy losses.
"You stay here and take the time to heal."
Du'e Temple was in front of him, Ning Chen ordered everyone to rest, and immediately pulled Little Mingyue towards the temple.
Three hundred Imperial Guards took the order, sat on the ground, and healed their wounds on the spot. They knew that this battle was over. Although he had won miserably, it would be a more difficult battle waiting for them.
The news of Buddhism's defeat will soon reach the ears of Gulan City's Du'e Temple. Once the Buddha on earth returns, they will immediately fall into passivity.
Although their Hou is very strong, facing the strongest Three Calamities Realm in the world, there is still no hope of victory.
Now, they only hope that girl Qing Ling can come quickly and help Marquis.
