Chapter 339 - 300: Eliminate the False, Preserve the True, Kill the Great Enemy
The many masters besieged the Medicine Buddha’s Lapis Lazuli Pure Light Realm, devastating its foundation, and nearly all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas within had been slaughtered.
He was still desperately holding on, waiting for Tathagata’s rescue, but Moonlight Bodhisattva was captured by Manjushri Bodhisattva and slain by Kong Xuan. It seemed his rescue was no longer coming.
Daoist Equal to Heaven fired an arrow, one that shot straight towards the Buddha Kingdom inside the body of the Medicine Buddha, intending to break the Buddha Kingdom and kill the two thousand Medicine Forks within. With this, the Medicine Buddha would no longer possess the ability to regenerate, and naturally became an easy catch for the masters present. For Medicine Buddha, reclaiming the Lapis Lazuli World would be nothing more than a trivial matter.
Seeing the ferocity of this arrow, the Medicine Buddha hurriedly deployed his Divine Skills to capture it. His Golden Body shimmered, conjuring a giant Hand Seal, ready to seize the Sky-Breaking Divine Arrow.
"Medicine Buddha, you are now besieged by us all and your life is short. Surrender quickly, and perhaps your life may be spared!" Chi Songzi bellowed.
A fierce light flickered in the eyes of the Medicine Buddha. It was a critical moment, and how could he possibly surrender? With a swoop of the Great Hand Seal, he grasped the Sky-Breaking Divine Arrow. The arrow was so powerful it almost shattered his hand seal.
"What?!" The Medicine Buddha was shocked. Although the Great Hand Seal had captured the Sky-Breaking Divine Arrow, he discovered that beneath it was another concealed arrow which he had failed to seize. Instead, it transformed into a red glow, becoming a Golden Crow and shooting straight for his Buddha Kingdom.
During the great battle on Yingzhou Island, Enlightenment Dao had obtained a Sun-Shooting Arrow from Hou Yi. Back then, Jiuying caused great chaos and was severely wounded by Hou Yi’s arrow, fleeing to Yingzhou Island, where it became the local legend’s Yamata no Orochi, a beast that took several Great Demons to defeat.
This secret arrow hidden beneath the Sky-Breaking Divine Arrow was the very Sun-Shooting Arrow used by Hou Yi to injure Jiuying. Now, this arrow had become the final blow intended to claim the life of the Medicine Buddha!
It was too late for the Medicine Buddha to defend against this arrow. Capturing the Sky-Breaking Divine Arrow had made him overconfident, not expecting a hidden attack beneath it.
Daoist Equal to Heaven’s call for the Medicine Buddha to watch the arrow was to distract him with the Sky-Breaking Divine Arrow, while the Sun-Shooting Arrow beneath was the true killer move!
