Chapter 1234
"Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang must have noticed this as well, otherwise he might not have been able to block it."
Chapter 1367: Amitabha, Buddhist Light Slaying Demons!
Lin Moyu quietly observed the battle between Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang and the Yellow Sand Yaksha.
For now, Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang was firmly suppressed by the Yellow Sand Yaksha, with seemingly no power to fight back.
But in Lin Moyu's eyes, this was not the case; he kept a close eye on Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang's expression.
Though seemingly at a disadvantage, Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang was actually incredibly calm.
Furthermore, a faint killing intent flickered in his eyes, indicating that he was waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
The methods of the Buddhist Clan were mysterious and ruthless.
Lin Moyu had never forgotten how Buddha Kongwen had tried to kill him back then.
Launching a sneak attack on his soul in broad daylight, even hiding it from the eyes of other God Venerables.
Ordinary God Venerables could not pull off such a method.
It was not because Buddha Kongwen was incredibly powerful, but simply because the Buddhist Clan's methods were too profound.
God King Heisha came to Lin Moyu's side, his voice sounding like grating sand. "What should we do?"
There was some worry in his eyes. Clearly, he had not noticed Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang's composure, and in his eyes, the Bodhisattva was at an absolute disadvantage.
Moreover, the Yellow Sand Yaksha's current offensive was incredibly fierce, bordering on madness. He wanted to go up and help, but feared that the Yellow Sand Yaksha would turn its target onto him.
He admitted that his strength was inferior to Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang's; if he faced the Yellow Sand Yaksha alone, he might die.
As for God King Shitu, it went without saying. He was the weakest among the four, making it even more impossible for him to make a move.
Lin Moyu said, "Let's prepare to make a move, but trust Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang."
God King Heisha really couldn't think of any better ideas either, so he could only watch intently.
If Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang really proved to be no match, they would have no choice but to step in. If all else failed, they would abandon this battle and flee the Central Lake.
If they couldn't kill it this time, they could try again next time.
At the very least, they couldn't let Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang die. Otherwise, they could forget about killing the Yellow Sand Yaksha, and entering the Nether Swamp would be completely out of the question.
Holding a shield, Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang withstood the Yellow Sand Yaksha's frantic attacks for several minutes.
Although he was on the defensive, he had actually not sustained any injuries.
Finally, after several minutes of frantic attacks, the Yellow Sand Yaksha's offensive began to weaken.
Then, a screech echoed from its mouth as it began summoning its minions once again.
Unable to break through after so long, it needed its minions' assistance.
Lin Moyu had long been on guard. The moment the sound rang out, he had already pointed a finger.
A red light flashed, and the Yellow Sand Yaksha let out a miserable shriek, its summoning screech instantly cut short.
Having its summon interrupted by Lin Moyu, the Yellow Sand Yaksha abruptly turned its head to look at him, its eyes filled with tyrannical madness.
It locked onto him, and in the next second, the Yellow Sand Yaksha pounced like a rocket.
Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang's voice came at this moment, "Give me one minute."
Understanding immediately, Lin Moyu forcefully spread his Wings of the Undead and flew backward.
In the water, Lin Moyu's speed was inferior to the Yellow Sand Yaksha's, but with the Wings of the Undead, the difference wasn't that great.
Escaping was definitely out of the question, but holding out for a short while shouldn't be much of a problem.
Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang pressed his palms together, chanting Buddhist scriptures, as the great sun above his head grew increasingly intense.
Shrouded in Buddhist Light, Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang looked solemn and majestic. Within the great sun above his head, a Law Galaxy could be faintly seen shimmering.
Within the Law Galaxy, it was as if countless Buddhas were chanting scriptures.
This was a Law Galaxy belonging to the Buddhist Clan; whatever secrets lay within, only those of the Buddhist Clan would know.
The Yellow Sand Yaksha caught up to Lin Moyu after a dozen or so seconds, thrusting its spear ruthlessly.
Feeling himself locked onto by an incredibly tyrannical and powerful aura, Lin Moyu rapidly vibrated his Wings of the Undead, instantly severing the soul lock. The Light-Speed Lich appeared, and his body transformed into a beam of light, instantly flying tens of thousands of meters away.
The Yellow Sand Yaksha's attack missed. The lake water was swept up and exploded by the colossal force, shooting countless torrents of water into the sky like a volcanic eruption.
Right after, the Yellow Sand Yaksha's neck exploded with a bang. Lin Moyu had used Corpse Explosion again to attack the Yellow Sand Yaksha.
The Yellow Sand Yaksha's head was blasted to the side. Its eyes flared with even greater rage as it stared fixedly at Lin Moyu.
By now, Lin Moyu had already distanced himself again, fleeing rapidly.
The Yellow Sand Yaksha pursued Lin Moyu frantically, while Lin Moyu utilized the Wings of the Undead's ability to sever soul locks, combined with the light-transformation ability brought by the Light-Speed Lich, to dodge the Yellow Sand Yaksha's attacks time and again.
During this time, he even launched two counterattacks, firmly keeping the Yellow Sand Yaksha's attention on him.
His maneuvers completely dumbfounded God King Heisha and God King Shitu.
God King Heisha had originally intended to step in and draw the Yellow Sand Yaksha's attention if Lin Moyu couldn't hold on.
But he hadn't expected Lin Moyu to be so incredibly agile.
A minute passed quickly. Suddenly, tens of thousands of rays of Buddhist Light beamed down, enveloping an area of ten thousand miles.
Purified by the Buddhist Light, the lake water became crystal clear.
Amidst the Buddhist Light, Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang sat cross-legged beneath a great sun, looking solemn and majestic.
He pointed into the void at the Yellow Sand Yaksha. "Vile beast, submit to the law!"
As the vast Buddhist Voice swept over, the Yellow Sand Yaksha instantly froze in place, motionless.
Bewitched by the Buddhist Voice once more, a desire to take refuge arose within its soul.
Then, Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang changed his finger into a palm, pressing it outward!
"Amitabha, Buddhist Light Slaying Demons!"
Chanting the Buddha's name, the Buddhist Light flared brilliantly, transforming into a massive palm that suddenly gripped the Yellow Sand Yaksha.
The Giant Palm of Buddhist Light squeezed tighter and tighter, intending to crush the Yellow Sand Yaksha to pieces.
Under attack, the Yellow Sand Yaksha instantly snapped awake. It struggled frantically, continuously swinging its spear to attack the Giant Palm of Buddhist Light.
The Buddhist Light rippled. Under the attacks, the gripping force actually weakened slightly.
Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang continuously chanted Buddhist scriptures, bolstering the strength of the Giant Palm of Buddhist Light.
Lin Moyu's face was pale at this moment, and he said in a low voice, "Attack quickly! Help Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang!"
He showed intense weakness, as if he had consumed most of his strength during the chase just now.
Hearing Lin Moyu's words, God King Heisha and God King Shitu immediately launched attacks at the Yellow Sand Yaksha.
After all, the two were a God King Rank 9 and a Lesser God Venerable. Even if they weren't specialized in attacking, their offensive power wasn't too bad.
Their attacks also breached the Yellow Sand Yaksha's defense, inflicting damage upon it.
The Yellow Sand Yaksha's aura grew weaker and weaker. After a stalemate of several minutes, it was finally crushed and exploded.
Its body shattered, turning into yellow sand that scattered into the lake water.
Dropping along with the yellow sand was an exceptionally dazzling crystal core.
Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang controlled the Giant Hand of Buddhist Light to retrieve the crystal core.
He slowly withdrew his technique, and the great sun above his head vanished.
Having used a secret technique, Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang's aura was slightly weak. This time he wasn't faking; he was truly weakened.
Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang sighed, "We've finally dealt with it."
Lin Moyu smiled faintly. "It really wasn't easy."
Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang took out the crystal core. "Let's go open the passage now."
Lin Moyu shook his head. "There's no rush for now. Since the crystal core is in hand, the passage can be opened at any time. Let's recover our condition first."
Lin Moyu's words made sense, and Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang also realized he had been too impatient.
If they rashly opened the passage now and ran into some other danger, they would find themselves in a passive position.
The four returned to the shore and began meditating to adjust their breathing.
After the fierce battle, among the four, the ones in the best condition were actually God King Heisha and God King Shitu.
The two of them had barely consumed any energy, while the one who had consumed the most was undoubtedly Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang, as he was the main force.
Although Lin Moyu looked severely drained, more than half of it was an act.
By doing this, he was also telling the others that his strength was actually not that great.
Having gone through a major battle together, a bit more trust seemed to have developed among the four. Perhaps also due to the Great World Oath, they were slightly less guarded against one another.
Lin Moyu looked at God King Heisha and God King Shitu. "Fellow Daoists, why do you want to go to the Nether Swamp?"
Chapter 1368: Why Do You Want to Go to the Nether Swamp?
God King Shitu didn't speak, remaining silent as always.
Lin Moyu wasn't sure if he simply didn't want to speak, or if he just had nothing to say.
Judging from their previous behavior, the one who wanted to enter the Nether Swamp the most was Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang, followed by God King Heisha.
He himself had only slightly expressed an intention to enter, but it wasn't strong.
Only God King Shitu remained taciturn, making it impossible to read his thoughts.
God King Heisha pondered for a moment before speaking, "Previously, I knew nothing of any Nether Swamp. When the Yellow Earth Desert first appeared, some of our Sand Tribe members entered this place, but they never returned."
"After I entered the Yellow Earth Desert, I happened to obtain some clues regarding my clansmen. Only then did I learn that beyond the Yellow Earth Desert, there was another place called the Nether Swamp."
"Furthermore, those clues also told me that the Nether Swamp seems capable of helping me take another step forward within the Lesser God Venerable realm."
"Do you mean that someone from your tribe entered the Nether Swamp and couldn't get out, yet they managed to send some information back from within?"
God King Heisha nodded. "Exactly so."
Lin Moyu was somewhat shocked that someone could actually transmit information back from the Nether Swamp.
Amidst his shock, Lin Moyu also thought of some things he hadn't considered before.
After Xu Qingyang of the Human Clan was trapped in the Nether Swamp, the mighty figures of the Human Clan had tried to rescue him, but they didn't succeed.
He had always wondered how those mighty figures of the Human Clan could fail to enter.
If they couldn't enter and couldn't save him, how could they know that Xu Qingyang was trapped inside, let alone know some information about the Nether Swamp?
It seemed there were still some hidden details that he did not understand.
As for taking another step forward within the Lesser God Venerable realm, it wasn't impossible.
Even among Lesser God Venerables, there was a significant gap in strength.
God King Heisha was clearly weaker than Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang, but Lin Moyu didn't care about the specific subdivisions within that realm.
Once he reached that realm, he would naturally understand.
God King Heisha also asked, "For what reason does Fellow Daoist Lin want to enter the Nether Swamp?"
Lin Moyu did not hide it. "I was entrusted by a senior to enter the Nether Swamp to rescue someone."
God King Heisha was slightly stunned. "Rescue someone?"
Lin Moyu gave an "en" in response. "He is also a senior of the Human Clan who entered the Nether Swamp when the Yellow Earth Desert first appeared and has never come out. However, a mighty figure of my Human Clan received word that this senior is still alive, so they assigned this task to me."
Lin Moyu was telling the truth, and God King Heisha did not doubt him in the slightest.
God King Shitu slowly spoke up at this moment, "I don't have to go."
Lin Moyu was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected this answer.
God King Heisha explained on behalf of God King Shitu, "Shitu is actually just accompanying me. Although we are of different races, we are friends and have a good relationship."
Lin Moyu let out an "oh" of realization. So that was why.
Lin Moyu's gaze fell upon Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang, who was not far away, and he asked openly, "I wonder what business brings the Little Buddha to the Nether Swamp?"
