Chapter 167: Ksitigarbha King Turns the Tide
Wukong was severely injured by the Nether River, and a billion Blood God Children swarmed toward him. It seemed they would tear him into shreds!
Wukong thought bitterly to himself, "My life is over!"
At this moment, the Nether River also felt a chilling danger, as if being watched by a pair of eyes filled with murderous intent. But he wasn’t afraid, for the gaze, although extremely uncomfortable, served as a warning—if he struck again, a deadly move would certainly fall upon him!
"Do you think I, the Nether River, am easily frightened?" he sneered inwardly. The billion Blood God Children charged at Wukong, ready to strike.
Just then, a colossal golden Buddha palm descended, striking directly in the center of the billion Blood God Children, scattering them in disarray and destroying at least twenty million of their clones! This hit truly distressed the Nether River. Even though he could reconvene them, it would require another round of cultivation, which made him bellow angrily, "Which Buddhist Sect rat dares to ambush me, the ancestor?"
"Buddha’s compassion," emerged Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva riding the divine beast Diting from the clouds.
The Nether River initially thought it was Xuan Ming who had intervened. However, the palm seal was clearly from the profound skills of the Buddhist Family. But since Wukong was at odds with the Buddhist Sect, which Buddha would come to his aid? Only a few experts who could scatter twenty million Blood God Children with a single palm existed. He calculated all possibilities but never expected it would be the Ksitigarbha King!
The Nether River’s eyes turned icy as he said, "Ksitigarbha King, what are you playing at!"
With hands clasped together, Ksitigarbha replied, "Buddha’s compassion! Nether River, you slaughter the innocent, which the Buddha cannot tolerate."
The Nether River scoffed, "I slaughter the innocent, and you redeem them. In the end, we both achieve sainthood and join forces—a perfect scenario, isn’t it?"
Ksitigarbha shook his head, "It cannot be, it cannot be!"
