Sure enough, it was waiting for me.
From the moment he realized the doorman had betrayed him, he knew this would be the outcome.
"The masters' appearances are different from what I imagined." Shen San turned to look at the two golden Buddha.
The so-called Buddha seems to be just a slightly larger human being, without any demonic features. He wears a robe, his flesh is as white as Baiyu, and his face is incomparably handsome, as if exquisitely sculpted. Combined with his gentle smile and the soft Buddha-light, he doesn't look like a man-eating demon at all!
"You've become attached to appearances," one of the Buddha said with a slight smile. "Although you've taken a crooked path to obtain this position of controlling Yin and Yang, you should also know that the flesh and blood are ultimately just flesh and blood; the foundation of all things is the spirit."
"Hmm, that makes sense." Shen San nodded. "I'm also very curious to know what the spirit beneath Master's beautiful exterior looks like."
"I'm afraid you won't be able to see it," the two Buddha shook their heads. In an instant, a burst of inspiration struck, and the surrounding space instantly tightened. The elements of the entire city gate were compressed to the extreme in an instant, giving the impression that the space was about to explode.
" King Level." Shen Three-Eyes were icy. The opponent had attacked with King Level power without hesitation.
That's normal, though. The other side ambushed me from the start. It would be at least twice as easy to take down the Underworld if I were dead!
Moreover, his abilities in the Underworld are equivalent to, or even more troublesome than, those of King Level King Level. They would certainly not let go of this opportunity to deal with him directly from the outside.
They had been waiting for him all along, and they knew he would eventually give in. Of course, things could change if he waited too long. Once he came out, they would do everything in their power to kill him, leaving him no chance. After all, if he dared to come out, he probably had some tricks up his sleeve.
"Benefactor!" The Buddha, who had remained silent until now, spoke in a booming voice, "Excuse me!"
Then, a palm pressed down, and a giant hand appeared out of thin air, almost covering the entire city gate. However, when it encountered the barrier, the palm was not hindered in the slightest. Its terrifying power seemed capable of shattering the city gate as well.
Shen San remained motionless, coldly staring at the other party, seemingly having given up on resisting.
But the Buddha, who hadn't made a move yet, sensed something was amiss.
He could see that even with their combined King Level power at full strength, even though they were on the verge of death, his expression remained calm, and not only his expression, but also his mental state was fluctuating.
A person's facial expression can be forcibly controlled by their willpower, but their mental fluctuations cannot be controlled; those are conditioned reflexes, especially when faced with a life-or-death crisis, the body will react instinctively. Muscles can be suppressed by willpower, but mental fluctuations cannot be suppressed by willpower alone.
Is this guy's heart dead or...?
wrong!
A strong sense of unease surged into his heart, instantly transforming into a terror that spread throughout his body. He felt a jolt and an immediate urge to escape!
What's going on?
The Buddha looked at the other party, then at the surroundings. He was certain that there were no other powerful figures, and that Tian Heng, the only one who might pose a threat to them, was blocked outside the formation. Shen San was not a threat at all.
Why do I have this feeling?
However, it wouldn't be right to call it an illusion. The Buddha of the Buddha Kingdom all possess the ability to foresee great dreams. If something extremely bad were to happen, they would sense it in advance. This is a unique supernatural power of the Buddha, and it is also the reason why they were able to survive and thrive among such powerful forces in the past.
If he had this intuition about facing the Daoist School or the Heavenly Court, he would run away without hesitation.
But this time, he hesitated.
He simply didn't think that these tiny humans in front of him could do anything to him.
But in that one moment of hesitation, he lost his last chance.
boom!!
The giant Buddha's palm didn't blast Shen San into mincemeat; instead, it hovered above the barrier, stubbornly blocking him from entering!
"Hmm?" The Buddha was taken aback, and then a dazzling flame appeared between his palms and spread rapidly!
Blazing Yang Grand Formation?
The Buddha looked incredulous, but then immediately severed his own hand without hesitation. As his hand hit the ground, the flame that had burned the Buddha's hand instantly merged into the city gate, quickly enveloping them all inside!
Both Buddha were taken aback; they couldn't understand how the other had done it.
The door god was controlling the magic array; how could the flames burn his palm?
"I'm sorry," Shen San said with a smile, "You've turned the wrong people to your side."
"Impossible!!"
The two Buddha almost instinctively rejected this answer.
The door god of Nanyang is a hundred-year-old tree spirit. Originally unremarkable, it was discovered by Chen Qing and appointed as the Nanyang City. However, in its previous life, it was a King Level demon. The reason why Chen Qing could see the fortune on its body was actually from its previous life.
These demons, whose past lives were imbued with the seeds of Buddhahood, could not possibly betray them.
Because of their telepathic connection, they can detect the other person's Power of Faith at any time. If the other person does not believe in them, they are not sincere, and they can detect it from the beginning. No one can deceive the Buddha.
But
Just as they were thinking this, the great formation outside the city had been extinguished, and the surging army rushed into Nanyang City like tigers and leopards, surrounding the two of them tightly.
The overwhelming blood energy was almost hotter than the Blazing Yang Grand Formation, and the Door God Guard who had just been fighting to the death with the West Sea Army were now surrounding the two of them.
Both Buddha were stunned; just moments ago, the two forces had been locked in a fierce battle.
How could they collaborate so quickly?
What's going on?
"What... what did you do?" The two Buddha were shocked and angry, but their eyes were filled with doubt as they stared intently at Shen San.
He must be behind all these changes.
It's unlikely that the door gods were wrong to side with them, and they couldn't have been fooled; it couldn't have been a trap. So why were they able to betray them again so quickly?
If they initially came with sincere intentions to join us, what's the point of their betrayal now?
He had already established a spell to demonstrate his King Level power; there was absolutely no need for him to do so.
What's the point?
"Can't figure it out?" Shen San smiled slightly.
"I can't understand it." The two Buddha looked grim, and the one in the lead bowed respectfully. "How did you manage to do that, benefactor?"
The two brothers believed they had cornered Shen San, and that using Nanyang City to weaken the West Sea Army, then seizing the opportunity to annihilate him, and finally taking control of Nanyang would be a piece of cake.
But why, in the blink of an eye, was it the other party who had driven him to a dead end?
Both of them possessed the power of a fully awakened King Level. Faced with this encircling military formation, they both sensed that escaping successfully today would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
"If I can't figure it out, I won't tell you," Shen San said with a smile.
The door god was certainly not a plant, since they hadn't thought of it at first. Moreover, Chen Qing had said that the Buddha had the power of faith, and they could immediately sense if those who sided with them were not sincere. Since the door god Qianliu had successfully joined their ranks, he was definitely not a plant.
As for why he switched sides at the last minute...
"You've been sleeping too long and are far too arrogant," Shen San sneered. "If you haven't even done something as basic as gathering intelligence, you really don't respect anyone."
