Who am I (5000)

Du'e Luohan, the Bear King, Asura, and the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox broke out in a cold sweat.

The latter three, in particular, possess a premonition of danger; every cell in their bodies is roaring, and every nerve is transmitting signals of peril.

As warriors, their Qi and Blood are more abundant and purer than those of the Arhats who have overcome difficulties, making them the primary targets of the gods.

Asuro quietly tensed his body, his strong muscles silently stretching as he gathered strength.

He could keenly sense that he was Shen Shu's primary target, and that the Essence Blood of the Asura was fatally attractive to him.

Suddenly, the tall statue in the distance vanished from everyone's sight.

The next moment, twelve arms stretched out from behind Asuro, like the fangs of a Venus flytrap.

The divine form appeared behind Asura at some unknown time. Its dark face was expressionless, yet it was more sinister and terrifying than any expression that flaunted malice.

Asura collapsed silently, breaking free from its "encirclement" from below before twelve pairs of arms, seemingly reaching out from hell, could close in.

Asura's eyes gleamed with a pale golden light; he possessed the divine eye.

It was this Divine Ability that allowed him to detect Shen Shu's movements in advance, which enabled him to react in time; otherwise, he would have ended up like Xu Qi'an.

As he fell, a dazzling halo appeared behind Asuro's head, and he said in a deep voice:

First precept: Do not kill!

The Arhat Du'e clasped his hands together, a halo appearing behind his head, and slowly said:

First precept: Do not kill!

Suddenly, the evil aura emanating from the divine image subsided, and the spiritual pollution diminished slightly.

With the combined power of the two Arhats, they finally managed to barely influence Shenshu.

At this moment, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox hesitated briefly. If she allowed Shenshu to hunt down Asura, the latter would surely die. Only Du'e Arhat remained, who could not cause any trouble.

However, this would mean she would have to lead the Demon Race to escape the Southern Frontier, or she too would become Shen Shu's prey.

Furthermore, this also means that the Demon Race will lose the "right to use" the divine power. Without the divine power, the Demon Race cannot restore its kingdom. Even if it reclaims the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, it will eventually be conquered by the Buddhist School sect again.

No, the out-of-control deity will follow its instincts, wreaking havoc in the Southern Frontier and seizing its Essence Blood; this place will become a forbidden zone in the Nine Provinces.

The Demon Race couldn't even conquer the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

She immediately understood the true intention of Bodhisattva Guangxian. The true way for Buddhist School to deal with the uprising of the Demon Race race was to use the power of the Great Reincarnation Dharma to make Shenshu lose control and go berserk, turning the Southern Frontier into a forbidden zone and thwarting the Demon Race's plan to restore their kingdom.

Then he helped the rebels in Yunzhou overthrow the Great Feng and resolve the war in the Central Plains.

Afterwards, Xu Pingfeng, who was promoted to a first-rank Warlock, and the Bodhisattva Gara Tree will be able to free up their hands to suppress Shen Shu and reseal his body. At that time, the Hundred Thousand Mountains will still belong to the Buddhist School.

Although she understood the Buddhist School's plan, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox still couldn't understand why the Great Reincarnation Dharma Form caused Shenshu to lose control.

But regardless of the circumstances, sealing away the deity or restoring his sanity is the most important thing right now.

Otherwise, the whole game will be lost.

The eight fox tails swelled in the wind, transforming into a giant python that blotted out the sky. The python swept across the night sky, tightly coiling around the stagnant Shen Shu.

Shen Shu Twelve exerted force with both arms, slowly breaking free from the restraints of the fox tail.

The nine-tailed celestial fox's fair face suddenly flushed red, her body trembled slightly, and the veins on her forehead bulged with rage.

The two sides are locked in a power struggle.

Fortunately, she was Demon Race, possessing unparalleled strength. If she were an extraordinary expert from another system, she wouldn't even be qualified to compete with Shen Shu.

Seizing the opportunity, Asura let out a deep roar, and the halo behind his head collapsed back into his body. In an instant, a relic shimmering with five-colored light rose from the top of his head.

These are relics symbolizing the attainment of the rank of slaying thieves.

Asura reached out and grasped the relic in his palm. His fist emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the night sky with magnificent splendor.

This is no longer about mobilizing the power of those who have attained the rank of slaying thieves; this is about risking one's rank to fight against divine intervention.

In an instant, the area around Wan Yao Mountain was filled with a chilling and murderous aura.

Plants, trees, birds, and beasts died silently, all of them killed.

"Drink!"

With Asura's roar, his fist, radiating brilliant light, struck Shenshu precisely between the eyebrows.

Between heaven and earth, a magnificent ripple spread out, reflecting a bizarre and surreal light onto the mountains below.

The fire ring on the back of Shen Shu's head exploded, and a crack appeared between his eyebrows like porcelain, destroying the flame mark.

The enraged god let out a deafening roar.

Thud thud thud. The eight fox tails that were wrapped around the divine image broke off one by one, and the nine-tailed celestial fox's face turned ashen, as if it had suffered a great injury.

The broken fox tail did not fall; as if it had a life of its own, it flew back behind her and reconnected itself.

The twelve arms of the deity enveloped Asura from all directions, layer upon layer, covering him in their palms.

At this moment, a relic floated out from the top of the Arhat Du'e's head, golden and still.

My first wish is that Asura be by my side.

As soon as he finished speaking, Asura, who should have been enveloped by a palm that blotted out the sky, appeared beside the Arhat Du'e.

Bang!

Amidst the layers of exploding energy, the divine hands clapped together, but captured nothing.

Nanfa Temple has a relic that is a relic of someone who has attained the "worthy of offerings" level.

He was the first abbot of Nanfa Temple, and he was left behind when he was reincarnated and rebuilt. On the night that Xu Qi'an and Sun Xuanji fought over Shen Shu's legs, Asura made a wish to the "relic" that he should have a helper like himself.

For the past few centuries, this relic has been enshrined in Nanfa Temple and received incense offerings.

When believers sincerely make offerings and present tributes, they can accumulate merit.

When one's willpower is sufficient, the position of worthy of offerings will fulfill the believer's wishes within a "reasonable range".

The power of a wish is highly exclusive; it only benefits those who make offerings.

The Arhat Du'e offered this relic for a short time, and his power was limited, only able to fulfill five wishes, so he kept it as a trump card.

These five wishes must, of course, be within reasonable limits; if they exceed those limits, the wishes will not be fulfilled.

At this moment, the black and white bear king, with its limbs moving like lightning, charged towards Shen Shu like a fat battering ram.

When!

The claws slammed hard against Shen Shu's brow, widening the crack.

Attacked, Shen Shu instinctively swung his fist, which struck the bear king squarely in the belly with a "bang".

The force of the punch pierced through the iron-eating beast's body, transforming into a raging gale behind it.

Just like Xu Qi'an before, the Bear King transformed into a cannonball and shot off, crashing into the distant mountains and causing a landslide.

Du'e Arhat was not idle. When the Bear King pounced on the divine Dharma form, ninety-nine prayer beads rushed out from his sleeve. The beads clattered and collided with each other, forming a line like a thin sword.

A sword that gleams with dazzling light.

With a flick of his palm, the slender sword whistled away, transforming into a streak of colorful light.

He then clasped his hands together and said:

"My second wish is that this move's power be doubled."

Boom!

Dark clouds piled up in the night sky, and a thick, tree-shaped bolt of lightning struck down, overlapping the rosary sword.

The rosary-bead dagger's flight speed increased dramatically, trailing silver arcs of electricity and accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, piercing through the brow of the divine being.

The Dharma Image's head exploded with a "boom," disintegrating into pure energy without any flesh or blood.

The headless method is equivalent to being frozen in place.

To save their mentally unstable father, the daughter and son conspired with an octogenarian monk to smash his head open. In some ruins, Xu Qi'an, observing the battle, muttered to himself.

That's incredibly filial of them!

"You're here too."

He then spoke to the bear king, who was slowly waking up.

After being crippled by Shen Shu's punch, Xu Qi'an used the Jade Shattering technique to interrupt Shen Shu's attack rhythm. He then used the Heavenly Gu's "Shifting Stars and Changing Constellations" ability to conceal his aura, followed by a shadow leap, hiding in the dense forest.

Thus, they escaped the subsequent pursuit of the gods and shifted the blame to the other side, causing the Arhat Du'e and Asura to suffer the consequences of their own actions.

Just as they were engrossed in watching the play, the Bear King was suddenly hit by something.

"It hurts so much!"

The bear king groaned softly.

"It's alright, just lie down slowly. I've already shielded your presence from the aura," Xu Qi'an reassured him.

Why don't you use your tower? It can heal wounds.

The bear king stared at him with his beady eyes, his expression somewhat simple-minded, and because he was spitting blood, he looked especially pitiful.

"That would expose our position."

That made perfect sense. The Bear King accepted his explanation and could only heal his injuries on his own.

In fact, at this point, under normal circumstances, Xu Qi'an could have easily made a clean getaway, cleverly diverting the trouble to another party and eliminating Asuluo or Du'e.

"Shenshu must calm down and be controlled by the Demon Race. Only in this way can the Southern Demons support the subsequent battles in the Hundred Thousand Mountains and restrain the Buddhist School. If I really leave, then we're doomed. We'll win a local battle but lose the whole game."

"It's exhausting to outwit and outmaneuver the big shots; you have to think ten steps ahead for every one you take."

He believed that the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox had also understood this, which was why she intervened to stop Shen Shu and temporarily joined forces with Du'e Luohan and Asuluo.

But the problem is, Asura and Du'e are definitely thinking about retreating now... he thought silently.

Through careful observation, Xu Qi'an discovered that after Shen Shu lost control, she fought entirely on instinct.

There are no tricks involved.

When attacked by the Bear King, he followed his instincts to fight back, rather than taking the opportunity to control the situation and then devour the Essence Blood.

"It's good that they don't have brains; they're easier to deal with if they don't have brains."

At this moment, he saw the head of the divine Dharma form re-condense, still with an expressionless face.

The five extraordinary beings present—three in the air and two in the forest—felt a sudden chill in their hearts.

This is a half-step Martial God!

Even with his incomplete state, even when he's out of control and fighting only on instinct, he's still a half-step martial god.

What a crude martial artist! Xu Qi'an gritted his teeth, experiencing the same resentment that other systems felt when facing extraordinary martial artists.

Despite the perfect teamwork between Asura, Du'e, the Bear King, and the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox in shattering the head of the Divine Dharma Form, it was actually not seriously injured.

However, their own side has a very low margin for error; if they are not careful, they will be caught by the Dharma Image and have their Essence Blood drained.

Isn't this exactly what it feels like to fight a superhuman martial artist when you're in another system?

Asura gazed at the divine image that resembled Gods and Devils, and spoke rapidly:

"Make a vow to the relics and leave this place."

Using the "Worthy of Offerings" position, simulating a teleportation array is a piece of cake.

The Arhat Du'e had already abandoned the idea of fighting, and without further hesitation, uttered his third wish:

"My third wish is that I and Asura return to Aranya."

The relic lit up, then dimmed again.

The two remained in the same spot, nothing had happened.

Only then did everyone realize that the night had turned pitch black, and the moon had disappeared.

Asuro's face instantly turned ugly, and he slowly said:

Asura Domain!

"This is the field he created; he has regained some of his memories."

The Asura Domain is a fighting technique created by the previous Asura King. It is a fighting technique unique to the Asura King, and even his son Asura has not learned this move.

Within its territory, the prey has nowhere to escape until it is killed or kills its enemy in return.

Du'e Luohan looked solemn.

This means they cannot remain uninvolved; they must either defeat Shen Shu or be defeated by him. Given the disparity in combat power between the two sides, it is clearly more likely that they will be defeated by Shen Shu.

The nine-tailed fox in the Asura Domain had a sudden thought and shouted:

"Shenshu, you are the Asura King, and the Asura King is Shenshu."

She attempted to deepen Shenshu's self-awareness, thereby awakening Shenshu's rationality.

But no, the divine form remained unmoved. He turned halfway around, facing Asura, and simultaneously spread out his twelve arms.

"Killing a god is unrealistic and impossible, and suppressing him is also out of the question. What should we do?"

Xu Qi'an began to examine himself, his Law Treasure, backers, and methods flashing through his mind one by one.

Finally, I thought of the Demon-Sealing Nails!

"The Demon-Sealing Nail definitely can't seal Shen Shu, otherwise he wouldn't have been dismembered and sealed in various places by the Buddhist School. But it should be able to suppress him; the problem is how to insert the Demon-Sealing Nail into his body."

As his thoughts raced, Xu Qi'an suddenly felt drowsy. He turned his head and saw that the bear king beside him was dozing off.

"Holy crap, I almost got caught by you!" He broke out in a cold sweat, quickly mounted her, and swung his little hand, slapping her hard across the face.

The Bear King suddenly became a little more sober and said helplessly:

I'm sleepy; sometimes I can't control my drowsiness.

Xu Qi'an's heart stirred, and he had an idea. He said:

"Don't sleep yet, I'll let you sleep later, then you can sleep."

The Bear King nodded:

I tried my best.

Using the shadows as cover, Xu Qi'an leaped towards the dense forest below, closing the distance before transmitting his voice over a long distance using the power of his Heart Gu:

"Gentlemen, I have a way to subdue him."

Asura, Du'e, and the Nine-Tailed Fox, who were engaged in battle, simultaneously tilted their ears, listened intently for a moment, and then their eyes lit up.

Asura and Du'e both had dazzling halos light up behind their heads at the same time.

They simultaneously clasped their hands together, their voices in unison:

The first precept: Do not kill!

The two second-rank officials joined forces again to impose the precepts.

The unstoppable fist froze instantly, but broke free from the control of the precepts in less than a second.

In less than a second, the eight fox tails repeated their trick, swelling up like giant pythons and wrapping around the tall Dharma image.

At the same time, Xu Qi'an, holding the Iron-Eating Beast in both hands, soared into the sky from the forest and hurled it towards Shen Shu with all his might.

The iron-eating beast landed three zhang above Shenshu, hovering motionless, and fell fast asleep.

As Shen Shufa was wrestling with the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, slowly breaking free of his restraints, a tremendous drowsiness descended like a tidal wave. The drowsiness seemed to directly affect his Primordial Spirit, forcing him to fall into a deep sleep.

Shen Shu did not sleep, but the intensity of her struggles lessened.

Triple strong control!

After throwing the Iron-Eating Beast, Xu Qi'an waved his hand, and the Zhenguo Sword flew out of the dense forest in the distance and landed in his hand.

He transformed into a rainbow wielding his sword, crashing into the Dharma Image's chest.

Sizzle~

The tip of the national sword pressed against the dark chest, sparks flew, and a piercing sound rang out, enough to drive anyone insane.

Break through my defenses! Break through my defenses! Xu Qi'an's face was contorted with rage, veins bulging on his forehead, and his Power Gu entered a berserk state, causing his muscles to swell.

The sword tip finally pierced the skin.

Seeing this, the Arhat Du'e clasped his hands together and made his fourth wish:

"The fourth wish: May this sword pierce your chest."

As soon as he finished speaking, the light of the Zhenguo Sword intensified, and the tip of the sword pierced into flesh with a "thud".

Enough with the scalding blood splattering on his face. Xu Qi'an drew his Zhenguo Sword, and from his left sleeve slid out a prepared Demon-Sealing Nail, which he held between his fingertips. He then struck Shen Shu's chest with a palm strike.

The Demon-Sealing Nail was halfway inserted.

The excruciating pain completely jolted Shen Shu out of his drowsiness, causing his Asura Essence Blood to boil. In the midst of the crisis, he unleashed an even greater power.

Clap clap clap

The eight thick fox tails snapped like taut ropes, and the nine-tailed celestial fox's face twitched in pain.

When!

Shen Shu's fist sent Xu Qi'an flying, making him look like a broken sandbag.

Asura attacked from the left, attempting to drive the half of the Demon-Sealing Nail in, but failed and was also sent flying by Shenshu's fist.

Next came the nine-tailed fox, whose tail had just been reattached. She attacked from the right, but also failed to get close and was sent flying by two punches from Shen Shu.

Master Shenshu punches his son with his left fist and his daughter with his right fist; his fatherly love is as solid as a mountain.

The ninety-nine rosary beads of the Arhat Du'e, like a magnificent stream of flames, clattered against Shenshu's fist.

Twenty-four hands formed an impenetrable defensive circle.

Their "suicide attack" provided Xu Qi'an with an opportunity. He emerged from the shadows under Shen Shu's armpit, using a teleportation technique to conceal his presence, preventing Shen Shu from noticing him in time.

When!

Xu Qi'an clenched his fist and punched the head of the Demon-Sealing Nail, completely sending it into Shen Shu's body.

After doing this, he immediately blended into the shadows and fled to a distance.

Du'e, Asura, and the Nine-Tailed Fox formed a triangle around Shenshu, but did not launch another attack.

The divine form remained stiff and motionless.

Apart from Du'e Luohan, the other four extraordinary beings, including Xu Qi'an, suffered severe depletion of their energy, resulting in a decline in their combat strength.

Xu Qi'an and Asuluo experienced the most severe decline in combat strength.

The former was mainly due to the erosion of the power of the Great Reincarnation Dharma Image. Now he is a seven-year-old boy. After being hit by two punches from Shen Shu, it was not a big deal, just a minor fatal injury.

The latter, having had most of his Essence Blood extracted by the divine intervention, was resurrected and fought a series of life-or-death battles, leaving him severely depleted of both Qi and Blood.

"Hopefully, the Demon-Sealing Nails will restore Shen Shu's sanity; otherwise, another tough battle awaits."

Xu Qi'an muttered to himself, but he was no longer as wary as before.

The reason is simple: the Demon-Sealing Nail can definitely suppress Shen Shu and weaken his strength. If the Demon-Sealing Nail cannot restore Shen Shu's sanity, the subsequent battle will not be as dangerous and arduous as before.

If Shenshu can recite the incantation and pull out the Demon-Sealing Nail on his own, it means he has regained his senses, and everyone's goal has been achieved.

Under tense gazes, the domain enveloping the air contracted first, and then the divine form also contracted.

The headless and right-armless Shen Shu reappeared before everyone.

The bear king is still sleeping and hasn't woken up yet; no one will disturb it.

It is a consensus that Shenshu should continue to be affected by the "Sleeping Beauty Curse".

Who am I? Who am I?

A murmur came from his chest.

Still not recovered?!

Du'e Luohan, Asuluo, the Nine-Tailed Fox, and Xu Qi'an's expressions instantly darkened.

Then they heard the deity say in anguish:

"I remember now, I am not the Asura King."

"I am the Buddha."
