Victorious Buddha.
Even Elder Liu was watching from a distance, was taken aback by this result.
The reason I recruited this guy back then was because of his combat prowess, and as it turned out, he certainly didn't disappoint me. Back in the Heavenly Court, he was always suppressed by the Three-Eyed Divine General, and could only ever be Lao'er, whether in terms of resources or status. But after I carefully nurtured him, in the Second Era War, he single-handedly held off four of the seven Demon Generals of the Demon Domain and even seriously injured three of them, instantly making him famous throughout the world. Later on, even the Three-Eyed Divine General didn't dare to challenge him easily.
Among the currently recognized strongest generals in terms of direct combat power, he ranks in the top three.
He acknowledged the emperor of the human race, after all, he was able to outwit and kill the Black Queen King Xiang and demonstrate combat prowess no less than that of Xiang Yu. However, he always believed that the emperor could not possibly be a match for a Buddha of the Venerable level. The Buddha dared not make a move because he lacked ambition. If there were anyone who could fight with a calm mind, the Imperial Capital of the Xiao Household would have no chance at all.
But now he doesn't think that way at all.
Fortunately, it was the Victorious Fighting Buddha took on this task; otherwise, it would have been difficult for any other Venerable.
"I never expected that."
Despite losing an arm, the Victorious Fighting Buddha remained completely calm, without even taking a step back. Instead, after a moment of surprise, he appeared incredibly excited.
His gaze toward the emperor was filled with boundless excitement, as if he were completely unconcerned about his recent defeat, treating his ruptured arm as nothing more than a piece of rotten flesh that he didn't care about.
"Now... is it even remotely acceptable?" The emperor looked at the other party coldly.
But a slight chill ran through me.
This was the first time he had encountered someone like this. His former opponents, whenever they underestimated him and were severely injured, would either become enraged and go completely berserk, or become fearful.
But this one, in particular, seemed to have discovered a treasure.
This is someone who truly enjoys fighting.
"I admit I underestimated you." The Victorious Fighting Buddha was in a completely different state than before. Perhaps it was because he was too excited, and the joyful expression on his face was like that of someone who had been thirsting for a long time seeing a peerless beauty.
"Let's go, round two!"
The Victorious Fighting Buddha stretched out his second arm and beckoned to the emperor.
The two were very close, and his arm had not yet recovered. The provocation of having only one hand gave an overwhelming sense of power. Not only did outsiders think so, but even the emperor himself thought so.
The sudden shift in momentum was so dramatic, anyone who didn't know better would think they were the one who had just blown off their arm!
The other party's invitation was also quite arrogant.
It's about letting yourself get punched again.
Even though he only had one hand left, and even though he had just suffered such a great loss, his hooking motion was extremely confident, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart.
"What are you hesitating about?" the Victorious Fighting Buddha laughed. "Could it be that you're out of strength after throwing that punch?"
Upon hearing this, the emperor's face immediately turned icy cold. "I was wondering, if I were to kill you here, what would happen to those hiding in the Buddhist temple?"
How arrogant humans are!
All the Buddha who heard this turned cold. If their powers hadn't been sealed, this human would have been nothing more than an ant in their eyes. But the fact that such an ant was now jumping around like this was truly an unpleasant thing.
It seems that humanity has not learned enough lessons.
They decided that this time they would teach this arrogant and pathetic indigenous race a lesson in what suffering truly meant!
"It won't matter." The Victorious Fighting Buddha didn't show much surprise; instead, he laughed happily, "If I die, they'll run away faster than anyone else, because if you can kill me, you can kill them all. They're not stupid; why would they stay here to die?"
All Buddha: "."
"Is that so?" The emperor smiled slightly upon hearing this. "That's good then."
"Come, Emperor of the Human Race," the Victorious Fighting Buddha said, beckoning with his hand. "Defeat me, and this crisis will be resolved. Moreover, I can guarantee that once you defeat me, no one in the Buddha Kingdom will dare to challenge you again!"
"So, you're the strongest?" the emperor asked with a smile.
"That's roughly the idea," the Victorious Fighting Buddha said with a smile.
"Good!"
Without another word, the emperor's aura exploded instantly. Unlike the one he had been building up for so long, the energy he unleashed now felt even more exaggerated than before. Even before the punch was thrown, all the Buddha felt that terrifying energy. Although they were not entirely convinced, deep down they all understood one thing.
Before their Dao Fruit was activated, they were no match for these natives.
It was just another ordinary punch, but it contained no less energy than the previous one, and perhaps even more.
It seems that this power has been hidden within the emperor's body from the very beginning, and it seems that he can use it immediately whenever he wants. Such efficiency is rare even for the Victorious Fighting Buddha. He did see one before, though, that annoying Three-Eyed Lad from the Heavenly Court.
boom!
Their hands clashed, and the immense energy cleared the shattered space around them once more. The area within a hundred feet of them was transformed into a vacuum by the terrifying collision of forces. But this time, the outcome was completely different from the last.
The Fighting Buddha took the punch completely, but this time, it was the Emperor of the Xiao Household who developed cracks in his fist.
At this moment, the emperor's entire body suddenly turned bright red, as if he had been branded with a red-hot iron, and spider web-like cracks appeared all over his body!
Everyone was stunned, but only a few people instantly understood what was going on.
Chen Qing felt a chill run down his spine and thought to himself, "Oh no!"
As expected, the gap between the two was still quite large. In terms of strength, momentum, and determination, the Emperor was currently no less capable than his opponent. With the Victorious Fighting Buddha not in full form and both of them only able to exert their King Level power, the Emperor had the ability to fight back.
This can be seen from the fact that the opponent's arm couldn't withstand the emperor's strength just now.
But he overlooked one crucial point: experience!
The opponent was a powerful being who had lived for three eras, and had fought countless battles throughout his life. How skilled could his techniques be?
How to use every bit of energy, how to reverse it—this being, which is named after battle, has truly taught us a lesson.
With the same setup and the same power, just because they had witnessed it once before, the opponent was able to use the same power to achieve a reversal.
Subtle manipulation of energy can achieve completely different results!
Chen Qing could see clearly that the other party's actions just now looked the same as the first time, but the difference in the energy changes was worlds apart!
At this moment, the emperor withdrew his own power, but the opponent used a wave-like force to prevent the emperor's energy from circulating properly. Once the enormous and domineering power gets out of control and runs rampant in the meridians, this is the consequence.
Upon closer inspection, one would notice that the emperor's skin was cracked all over, clearly indicating that his meridians and body had reached their limits.
If this continues, what will become of the arm of the Victorious Fighting Buddha? What will become of the emperor's successor?
This battle... is likely to be lost!!
