The Dao Sect's four leaders had each drawn their swords, preparing to face Tathagata.
Tathagata smiled faintly and attacked the four of them.
The Dao Sect's four leaders were indeed quite powerful, and together, they were even stronger.
However, they were facing the Buddhist Sect's founder, a Saint Realm expert. They could not gain any advantage in battle; managing a draw was already quite good.
Tathagata was somewhat surprised by the strength of these four. He had thought he could suppress them quickly, but that was not the case.
Still, Tathagata did not mind. It would not be so easy for these four to stop him.
Powerful forces raged across the mountainside of Lord Lao Mountain, shattering the surrounding rocks, hills, and trees.
The four Dao Sect leaders all felt tremendous pressure. This was their first time facing a Saint Realm expert, and it was exceedingly difficult.
The four had already exerted their full strength, joining their four swords together to resist him.
When they had eradicated the Evil Spirits years ago, these four swords had joined forces to unleash a powerful formation, slaughtering every remaining Evil Spirit across the Four Continents.
If their four swords had not combined now, they would have been completely unable to withstand an expert like Tathagata.
"Four Daoists, you cannot stop me. Why not let go and allow me to pay respects to Lord Lao's Divine Statue?" Tathagata said to them with a smile.
Though the four could hold off Tathagata for the moment, if the battle continued, they would eventually be powerless to resist. This was merely a slow death.
But how could the Dao Sect's four leaders so easily abandon the grave responsibility Lord Lao had entrusted to them? Even if they died, they would stop him. They would never retreat.
