How is that possible?
He knew the origin of the opponent's power the moment it was unleashed.
This kind of sword intent has only appeared once in billions of years, and that was just over ten days ago in the fierce battle in South Sea City, where the Dao of Sword appeared!
The sword intent that erupted at that moment soared into the sky, instantly waking even those who were still asleep. All the ancient beings were awestruck by this power and regarded it as their greatest enemy.
The intelligence was also obtained by their Buddha Kingdom immediately. In theory, there are only three people in the world who can use this power right now.
I, Ao Zhen, became the final victor after the duel with the sword demon, rightfully obtaining the Sword Dao Fruit and being recognized by heaven and earth as the purest inheritor. However, due to the great depletion of her strength in the duel with the sword demon, she was even struggling to protect herself. Furthermore, she was seen by many Buddhas and clearly appeared in the capital, making it impossible for her to break through the blockade of the Victorious Fighting Buddha and appear here.
The second Chen Qing, as the master of the Divine Path Style, can perfectly utilize the rules to use this power. However, Chen Qing's spiritual power is exhausted. Even though he has now reunited with Ziyue and has enough spiritual power, he will find it difficult to recover in a short time because he was injured by Ziyue's secret technique. He will also find it impossible to break through the blockade of the Victorious Fighting Buddha.
The only one in Jiangnan who can use this power is Tian Heng, who was appointed as the God of the West Sea by Chen Qing.
But Tian Heng could no longer use that force; that was a foregone conclusion. If he could, the eldest princess of the Xiao Household family would already be dead, Jiangnan would have successfully swallowed up the imperial army, thus making up for the internal weakness in military strength. Wouldn't it have been much safer to lead a large army to wipe out the Buddhist temple long ago?
He had been cautious enough, so why did this force, which shouldn't have appeared, still materialize?
Which part of the process went wrong?
While he was lost in thought, the person opposite him did not hesitate. His sword intent surged, and an incredibly powerful sword light directly cut through the darkness. Even with the erosion of time, it remained eternally indestructible. That power was so strong that it made his scalp tingle.
The territory must be removed.
This domain's blockade is two-sided; it blocks both the opponent and oneself. As long as the opponent cannot break through this spacetime erosion, this domain holds an absolute advantage. However, if the opponent can break through it, then staying inside will make one a lamb to the slaughter!
But if he couldn't defeat his opponent now, and the domain was dispelled, with military formations targeting him from the outside and that terrifying swordsmanship nearby, how would he escape?
They're all dead ends!
Have I reached a dead end?
No!!
A hint of ruthlessness appeared on the Buddha's sorrowful face. He then stared intently at his opponent, advancing instead of pushing him away. His spatial and temporal power surged, and in an instant, he made his decision: the victor would be decided right here.
If I kill the opponent, I can forcibly use the laws of the past to plant a seed of Buddha within their body, and then forcibly take their abilities for my own use. I might not be able to fully master them in a short time, but replacing a soldier shouldn't be a problem, right?
Using the enemy's white-painting ability, you can blend in with the soldiers and still have a chance of survival!
With this in mind, he had no more worries and went all out, his whole body radiating a powerful aura of Buddha.
"You actually won't retreat?" King of Qin sneered. "You've certainly changed my perception. I thought most old guys like you were cowards who feared death and were afraid of battle."
"I don't believe you can fully control this power!" the Buddha said sternly. "I don't know what agreement you reached with Chen Qing, or why you can use this power, but time is clearly insufficient. You haven't had enough time to fully master this power, and you can't possibly use it completely!"
"Hmm, I guessed you'd think the same way!" A smile crept onto the King of Qin's lips, and he brought his short sword down without hesitation.
In that instant, the Buddha felt a great terror surge into his heart, a feeling he had never experienced since he obtained his current power.
He knew immediately that he had made the wrong choice.
But why?
"You've lost, Elder Yang!" The King of Qin's eerie voice echoed, and the Buddha's body trembled violently. The domain that had been able to resist was almost instantly shattered.
I see, I see!!
Old Yang's eyes Laoda, almost bursting open, all because of that one word, "Old Yang."
"You are Chen Qing!!!"
"Old Yang's reaction is still too slow," the man opposite sighed. "It seems that too many years have made you regress. If it were the original you, you wouldn't have been able to be outmaneuvered."
The other person was stunned for a moment, then burst into maniacal laughter.
So that's how it is.
It was all a setup, a staged performance!
That Elder Liu guy set up a trap in the South Sea, even sacrificing his own grandson, but his real target wasn't that old woman from the Demon Realm, but himself!
In that battle, the one taken away by Ziyue with forbidden power was not Chen Qing at all, but the King of Qin!
Yes, why didn't I think of that?
In the capital, Chen Qing never lifted a finger, relying solely on his subordinates and the Xiao Household emperor to shield him.
At the time, no one doubted Chen Qing's authenticity, and neither did I, because Chen Qing was in that situation and had no spare power to take action.
But if... if this had been planned from the beginning, then it would be completely different.
The King of Qin lost all his spiritual power, while Chen Qing returned to the East Sea!
Chen Qing and the King of Qin look exactly alike. In that chaotic battle, if Elder Liu had cooperated, they could have easily been confused.
Damn it!!
"Why?"
After the laughter subsided, the laws of space were severed cleanly with a single sword strike. Almost instantly, the terrifying darkness shattered like glass. Amidst the vast army, the ancient Buddha, already devoid of life, still harbored some resentment. "Why did he do this?"
He simply couldn't understand why Elder Liu would target him so much, even at such a high price.
"From the moment you started plotting against A Li, Elder Liu harbored murderous intent towards you. A Buddha who can change the past cannot be prevented from taking down Thousand-Faced Fox indefinitely if he insists on doing so. Moreover, your strategy is the one that all forces, including Elder Liu, least agree with."
"Why don't you agree?" Old Yang roared with difficulty, "Why? Can they win? Can't they see how strong those Void Golems are? Why haven't they dared to directly release the update all these years? Isn't it because they're not confident?"
What's wrong with what I did?
"Even if you're not confident, you can't hand your fate over to the other side. Hoping those monsters won't bother coming to kill you is no different from pretending to be asleep. Even if Elder Liu and the others are selfish and don't care about the common people, they have the heart of a strong person. A strong person never entrusts their fate to others!"
Old Yang: "."
"Old Yang, from the moment you started this plan, you were no longer the Old Yang you once were. You've gone from a man-eating beast to a cowardly rat, not even worthy of being called a dragon. Since you lack the magnanimity, relinquish your power. It's time for you to leave the stage!!"
