(Third Watch-Please Follow) Buddha Said: Chase the Antelope

The sky seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand, and the Golden Light hanging down from the clouds was like Heavenly River pouring down.

The colossal Buddha phantom slowly raised its thousand arms, the swastikas on each palm shining brightly, illuminating the night sky for miles around as if it were daytime.

"Boom--!"

When the first Buddha's palm struck down, the air was compressed into visible ripples. The three-zhang golden Buddha transformed by Pudu Cihang couldn't even withstand it for half a second, and its head exploded into a shower of golden dust.

The Havok spread in a ring, simultaneously lifting all the tiles of the temple and shattering them into dust in mid-air.

"No!" The Centipede Demon's scream echoed from the mangled body of the golden Buddha, "I am the Imperial Advisor of this dynasty—"

The second wave of the Senju Buddha Palm followed immediately.

This time, a full eight hundred arms came together in prayer at the same time, and the vast Buddha light formed a tangible golden tsunami.

The ground collapsed layer by layer like a fragile eggshell, and the fake Buddha statue of Pudu Cihang crumbled inch by inch, revealing the real body of a hundred-meter-long centipede writhing wildly inside.

Yan Chixia's gaping Barry was filled with a gust of wind, and his Daoist crown was blown away by the shockwave.

He saw the centipede limbs, thicker than the palace beams, carbonize in the Buddha's light, their shells peeling off with a crisp sound like shattering glass.

"Click! Click click click!"

Zhiqiuyiye's Peachwood Sword ignited with a protective Golden Light, but it was still pushed by the Havok, plowing a ten-zhang-deep furrow into the ground. The young Daoist's pupils reflected an apocalyptic scene. The Miwa of attacks from the Senju Buddha Statue was a spiraling strangulation of a thousand arms, with each rotation leaving a palm print the size of a mountain imprinted on the earth.

"Is this a method that cultivators can use?!" Zhiqiuyiye's shout was drowned out by the deafening roar. He watched helplessly as the Centipede Demon's Mukade were crushed into minced meat by the Buddha's light, and the demon's blood sprayed into the air and evaporated into a foul-smelling blood mist.

As the last centipede segment exploded, Fang Yu suddenly withdrew the Buddhist seal.

The Senju Buddha Statue vanished into countless points of light, leaving only a deep pit on the ground emitting blue smoke.

The site where the temple once stood has now become a bowl-shaped crater with a diameter of thousands of feet.

"Smack—"

A gold medal landed at the feet of Commander Zuo, bearing the four characters "Guardian Dharma Master." The one-armed commander was stunned, until Zheng Zha patted him on the shoulder, jolting him awake. "Is the matter over?"

"It's not over yet." Fang Yu suddenly rose from the ground, Sword of the Thunder God summoned thunder from the heavens.

All that could be seen was a bolt of purple lightning cleaving through the blood mist, striking precisely a spot at the bottom of the pit.

Suddenly, the scorched earth bulged up, and half of a centipede's head burst out of the ground!

"Nam Amitabha—"

"Fuck you, Buddha!" Fang Yu pressed down with his sword, and the lightning pillar instantly tripled in thickness!

"Ahhh! How could anyone know more about Buddhist scriptures than me! This is impossible! This is impossible!"

"Impossible! Where's the Bull Demon Laozi? Impossible! Die now! You're pretty tough, aren't you?! Why aren't you dead yet?"

"Nine Heavens Thunder Pool! Strike it!"

"Raigo!"

Rumble—

Pudu Cihang's last head convulsed wildly amidst the lightning, its compound eyes bursting one after another, before finally exploding into a pile of charred remains with a "bang".

Zhiqiuyiye walked over, his feet sinking into the scorching earth, his Daoist robe still steaming. "With your Tongtian Divine Ability, why would you hire me for gold?" He kicked the mangled limbs of the Centipede Demon at his feet. "You can't use a sledgehammer to crack a nut like that!"

Fang Yu suddenly pointed to the distant mountain ridge.

Everyone looked in that direction and found the other members of the Central Continent Team standing there dumbfounded.

"I need you guys to protect my teammates."

Yan Chixia was using Talismans to stop Commander Zuo's bleeding when he heard this, and his beard twitched. "Then why don't we let these children stay at the inn?"

"The Main God isn't that stupid," Fang Yu sneered. "Believe it or not, as soon as we enter the Underworld, the inn will spawn 100,000 Yin soldiers?" He tossed a bag of gold leaves to Zhiqiuyiye. "Protect them well, and I'll give you more money later."

At this moment, Li Yingqi floated down from the ridge carrying Shifang. Shi Fang the Monk was being held by the back of his collar, tightly clutching the half-golden Buddha in his arms, his face as pale as paper.

"Put me down!" Shi Fang struggled and shouted, but as soon as his feet touched the ground, he stumbled and almost fell into Zhiqiuyiye's arms.

The young Daoist priest swiftly caught him, only to see the Little Monk suddenly widen his eyes, point at Fang Yu, and stammer, "You... you're the one from just now."

Fang Yu stepped forward slowly, the moonlight casting shadows of varying depths between his brows.

He held out his palm. "You saw it?"

Shi Fang nodded subconsciously, then suddenly pulled the golden Buddha into his arms and took a half-step back warily. "This is my master's keepsake!"

"Tsk." Fang Yu suddenly leaned close to Shi Fang's ear, his lips moving slightly.

The Little Monk's expression changed from wariness to shock, then from shock to fear, and finally he knelt down with a thud, holding the golden Buddha high above his head with both hands. "This disciple was blind to the great man!"

Zhao Yingkong stood to the side with her arms crossed, a hint of curiosity appearing on her cold and beautiful face.

She watched Fang Yu take the golden Buddha and throw it to Tu Dundi Yin Yu, who was chewing a chicken leg, and finally couldn't help but ask, "What did you say?"

Fang Yu suppressed a laugh and turned around, the moonlight illuminating the curve of his lips. "I said I am Buddha."

Yan Chixia's mustache stood on end, and he pointed tremblingly at Fang Yu: "You... you..."

"What? Doesn't it look like it?" Fang Yu suddenly clasped his hands together, and a soft Golden Light emanated from his body.

The light was not as fierce as it had been during the previous battle; instead, it radiated compassion for all living beings, making his features appear dignified and solemn.

He kowtowed repeatedly, his forehead thumping against the scorched earth with muffled thuds. "I beg Buddha to deliver my master! That Demon Monk harmed him!"

"Get up." Fang Yu grabbed the Little Monk by the collar, the Golden Light vanished instantly, and he returned to his lazy demeanor. "We'll talk about the salvation later. Let's deal with the Black Mountain Demon first."

He turned to the Earth Release: Earth Grievance), beckoned with his finger, and asked, "Where's the stuff?"

Earth Grudge Fear took out the other half of the golden Buddha from the black thread pocket on his belly, and the two broken pieces faintly shone with a Resonance light.

Fang Yu casually tossed the golden Buddha into the air, Divine Protection: Recovery was activated. The broken pieces automatically glued together, fitting together perfectly as if they had never been broken.

Upon seeing this, Shifang immediately kowtowed, "Ah! Greetings to the Buddha Tathagata!"

Fang Yu put his hands together and said, "Amitabha Buddha, don't pray yet. We still need to drive away the Black Mountain Demon's antelopes later. You and Commander Zuo should go back to town to take refuge."

Seppi didn't quite understand and asked Wang Hu, who was standing nearby, "What is Chase the Antelope?"

"It means 'golden rain-like kind~fuck you mama's'."

Seppi nearly choked on his own saliva. "What kind of Buddha Chase the Antelope Tenten? Captain, you're something else."

While everyone was talking, Yan Chixia was also busy.

He kept changing the direction of his compass, and finally locked onto an inconspicuous mountain range. "This is the road to the underworld."

"Good!"

Fang Yu, carrying the golden Buddha, stepped forward to observe the situation. "Central Continent Team, listen to my command!"

The crowd gathered.

"Come with me to the underworld to save Xiao Qian! And defeat the Black Mountain Demon's mother!"
