Everyone Knows Him
The location of Wu Chao can be pinpointed; Brother Tathagata has sufficient strength to apprehend Jin Chang.
The combination of these two can almost completely defeat Jin Chang.
Even if Jin Chang were perfectly healthy, let alone the fact that Jin Chang was ill, Jin Chang would still be restrained by this duo. Even with Lei Bei's help, he wouldn't be able to protect him, especially since Lei Bei still unconscious.
Upon seeing his senior brother Tathagata's imposing figure blocking the entrance once again, Jin Chang felt his hands and feet turn icy cold.
Stranded in such a deadly spot, even if he could use the shadows to move around, he couldn't escape.
Dragging Lei Bei, Jin Chang felt there was nowhere to escape.
If he goes forward, he will inevitably be captured by Buddha; if he goes backward, he will have to face the Great Sage Water Ape.
He had just finished thinking about seeking the Yin Yang Great Compassion Nine Heavens Incantation after Zhang Xuezhou escaped, without needing to care about any tomb scriptures, but reality slapped him in the face the moment afterward.
"That bastard Wu Chao has always pointed me in the right direction. Even though we've been through thick and thin together in the past, he won't give me a single way out!"
Jin Chang spat out a curse.
He didn't know what would happen if he fell into the hands of his senior brother, Buddha. He might be exploited to the point of being drained dry, or he might be captured and taken back to the Western Sect, where he would have to face those two sect leaders whose cultivation was so terrifying that it inspired despair.
But Jin Chang knew what the consequences would be if he fell into the hands of the Water Ape Great Sage.
Jin Chang figured the Water Ape Great Sage had just released him, so he didn't think the other party would kill him immediately.
Although he made a sarcastic remark as he left, Jin Chang couldn't care less about that at the moment.
If he were to seek survival, his chances would be extremely slim, and Jin Chang wasn't even sure if he could seize that opportunity.
He dragged Lei Bei and changed direction, then continued to move closer to the area where the Water Ape Great Sage was located.
"The Buddha's disciple from the Western Sect has arrived. He is a very powerful person, impervious to swords and Technique Method, possessing the cultivation of the Sole Self Realm, but his strength is comparable to that of the True Self Realm cultivator!"
In the pool, Zhang Xuezhou quickly offered some reminders, which made the Water Ape Great Sage frown.
Clearly, if he were to face the kind of opponent Zhang Xuezhou mentioned, he would no longer be able to control this area.
Moreover, he heard the voice of the Buddha's disciple and knew what the other party was asking for.
"How come even the Western Sect is involved? But their place seems to be Savage Wilderness land; they can't maintain their image without taking some!"
The Great Sage of the Water Ape had little understanding of the changing situation in the world, and his view of the Western Sect was based on the general impression that the two leaders were very strong and that the Western Sect was located in West Ox Hezhou, which was very poor.
If the Great Sage Ape wanted to know more, he couldn't say a single extra word.
He also had a vague sense of unease.
This misery stems from what Brother Tathagata pursued.
In the past, if he knew nothing, he and his senior brother Tathagata would probably have kept to themselves.
But now, he has inevitably become someone who is guilty of possessing a treasure.
"Sir, you are aware of the cultivation techniques of our Yin and Yang schools. That Western Sect monk came for these cultivation techniques; he is very powerful. We are all in the same boat. I hope you will not hold my previous unintentional words against us, and that we can work together to overcome this trouble!"
Jin Chang shouted.
He appeared to be asking the Great Sage of the Water Ape for help, but his loud shouts clearly indicated that the Great Sage of the Water Ape also possessed the Yin-Yang School School's techniques.
If the Buddha couldn't catch him, catching the Water Ape Great Sage would achieve the same goal.
If he could provoke a fierce battle between the Great Sage Water Ape and his senior brother Buddha, and then give him a chance to finish him off, Jin Chang thought that would be the most wonderful scene.
But given his current bad luck, Jin Chang felt that he could only think about such things in his head. If he really wanted to finish him off, he would likely end up stabbing himself in the head, making it highly probable that he would lose his own life.
"Interesting, looks like you have accomplices!"
The voice of Brother Tathagata grew closer, accompanied by his extremely relaxed footsteps.
Compared to Zhang Xuezhou and others who were hunched over as they walked through the passage, Brother Rulai's body moved with remarkable natural flexibility. His tall and strong frame had adapted to the height of the passage, and as he walked out of the passage, his body gradually returned to normal.
This incredible flexibility in his body caused the Great Sage Ape to become serious.
In the Heavenly Court, those who cultivate their bodies to the point of 'perfection' are all top-tier demons, such as the Great Ape King Yuan Hong, and Erlang Shenjun Yang Jian.
Compared to these formidable figures, even the Great Sage of the Water Ape would not gain the upper hand in the water.
If these people possess some special Law Treasure that can counteract his abilities, they could defeat him, or even kill him.
The prerequisite for dealing with the Great Sage Water Ape who enters the water is that he is not afraid of martial arts and Technique Method, and the second is targeted Technique Method or Law Treasure.
Clearly, the Buddha, who came, had this prerequisite.
His gaze swept over Jin Chang and then settled firmly on his senior brother, Tathagata.
It was a physical body that made the Water Ape Great Sage feel as a perfectly unified whole. No matter which direction he attacked from, the opponent would not have any obvious weaknesses, not even in parts such as the eyes.
"It was just a water monkey!"
Brother Tathagata strode over, his gaze lingering on Jin Chang for a moment before shifting to the person Jin Chang relied on.
The Great Sage Water Ape's three-zhang-tall body did not put pressure on Brother Tathagata; on the contrary, he was somewhat eager to try.
"A water demon like you is indeed rare, and your strength seems quite impressive. If we could capture you and bring you back to our sect, our Spirit Mountain would surely have one more guardian spirit beast. Moreover, you also know the Yin-Yang School's realm techniques, so you are undoubtedly a guardian of the Yin-Yang School. Therefore, we must capture you!"
"You Western Sect are too arrogant!"
The Buddha was enthusiastically explaining his plans, which enraged the Great Sage Water Ape.
No matter what, he was appointed by the Heavenly Court as the Water God of the Huai River, even if times have changed.
The Buddha's words are almost equivalent to the Xiong State wanting to seize Han Dynasty officials and enslave them.
This insult instantly ignited a surge of violent rage within the Water Ape Great Sage.
Before Jin Chang could provoke anything, countless waves surged from the Green Pool, sweeping towards Brother Tathagata across the sky and the ground.
"Although your cultivation is stronger, this water spell is insufficient to harm me!"
A golden light appeared on the Buddha's body, and the water spell that had previously made it difficult for Jin Chang and the others to move or resist was like a shield against swords, unable to penetrate even a little.
When the Great Sage of the Water Ape gathered several tons of heavy water and slammed it down, Brother Tathagata shook his head without any concern.
As the huge waves crashed down, he behaved as if he were taking a bath as any other person would.
"Hey!"
The Great Sage of the Water Ape exhaled and made a sound. He reached into the pool and grabbed a jagged, long stone as tall as a man, which he then threw forcefully at his senior brother, Buddha.
"What a coincidence, I'm also skilled in immense strength!"
The long stone shot out, and Brother Tathagata, who was nearly a hundred meters away, reached out and grabbed it. The huge rock that had violently struck the stone spun around in his hand.
"Master, we are still hostages! Please don't smash things and hurt us!"
Just as Brother Tathagata was about to retaliate in kind by throwing the long stone back at him, Zhang Xuezhou, who was lying by the pool, shouted.
"So it was you. I remember you went to Chang'an. How did you end up in the hands of this demon king?"
Brother Tathagata casually put down the long stone, clearly recognizing the cultivator who had raised a good insect.
