Chapter 236 - 229: Tathagata’s Plan to Hurt Wukong
The Nether River Patriarch knew he was outmatched and had already allowed his Asura Blood Sea forces to enter the Blood River, leaving the battlefield to return to the Asura Blood Sea.
Mosquito protector was so angry that he was fuming, but there was nothing he could do. The Nether River he had high hopes for actually slipped away in such a disgraceful manner. He even wished that the Victorious Fighting Buddha would catch up and beat the Nether River to death with his staff! The Nether River had lived for so many years, not in vain. As soon as he saw the situation turning unfavorable, he ran faster than anyone else.
At this time, the two Ancestral Witches pressed on. Left with no choice, Mosquito protector reluctantly entered the fray. Fortuitously, he received seven great flags, and the Nether River wasn’t entirely without honor. Raising the flags, he conjured the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons, though in truth, there were only seven divisions remaining.
The Victorious Fighting Buddha and Wukong stood poised in the void, both having expended an immense amount of Mana. Driving off the Nether River was by no means an easy feat.
"The Nether River’s tricks are powerful. To deal with him, we will have to wait for another day," said the Victorious Fighting Buddha.
"Once the Buddhist Sect is taken care of, the situation in Heaven and Earth will become clear. It will be impossible for the Nether River to muddy the waters again! However, he has forged such a significant karma with me, and if I do not kill him, I fear it will be detrimental to my enlightenment. When the time comes, I will rush to the Asura Blood Sea and find a way to capture and kill the Nether River," Wukong spoke.
In the battlefield of the Taiyi Golden Immortals, the four Sword Gods were unstoppable, cutting down anyone in their way, especially Ximen Chuixue who could slay a person in the blink of an eye. Before long, some Daluo Golden Immortals took notice of them and attacked, but the average Daluo Golden Immortal was destined only to be subdued by them.
Nezha was also among the top fighters in the ranks of Daluo Golden Immortals, and with a wealth of Magical Treasures—the Qiankun Ring, Heaven-and-Earth Silk Ribbon, Wind-Fire Wheels, Fire Spear, Demon-Slaying Saber, Demon-slaying Sword, Golden Brick—emerging one after another, he had already claimed the lives of three to five holy monks and Vajras.
Bai Qi was killing like a madman; anyone who blocked his way, regardless of their Cultivation Level, was slain by his sword. He had entered the path through slaughter, practicing the way of killing, fearless of any karmic retribution—his response to anyone who crossed his path was a single word—kill!
Among the Buddhist Sect, the Glazed Light King Medicine Buddha was truly formidable. With the Yaksha chanting scriptures in the rear formation, he seemed to have an Immortal Body, radiating blue light that would immediately restore his physical body whenever it was damaged.
The Victorious Fighting Buddha and Wukong were surrounded by traces of the Dao, recovering their Mana as they prepared to rejoin the battle.
