Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant-Chapter 2292 - 164: Magical Combat (Part 1)

His head bore a meat bun, ears drooping over his shoulders, a red mole at the center of his brow, appearing solemn and stately.

He sat upright on the lotus platform, face full of compassion, looking at him from a distance.

Wang Ba felt a slight chill in his heart; the demeanor of this Great Buddha was quite similar to the Northern Great Bodhisattva he had seen before. No need to guess, he could estimate that the Buddha in the center was most likely one of the Four Directions Great Bodhisattvas.

Sure enough, Chen Zhongqi whispered:

"This person is the Eastern Great Bodhisattva. Among the four Great Bodhisattvas, except for the Western Great Bodhisattva stationed elsewhere, the other three have come here... Taoist Friend, be careful later."

Wang Ba nodded slightly and let Chen Zhongqi return first.

Though Chen Zhongqi knew Wang Ba’s power was astonishing, he still felt uneasy, so he stood outside the Realm Membrane of the Cloud Sky Realm, not entering immediately.

Among the Bodhisattvas and Arhats, the Eastern Great Bodhisattva extended a single hand upright and lowly chanted Buddha’s name, his deep voice carrying a tinge of sympathy, echoing:

"Layman, such great killing intent you bear."

Wang Ba, hearing this, remained calm and replied indifferently:

"Thanks to the Supreme True Buddha, the Realm Sea is now a swirling chaos, like a hell on earth. As the saying goes, ’If I don’t descend into hell, who will?’ It’s my duty to slay evil spirits."

Wang Ba was always lenient with allies or potential allies, but when facing enemies, there was no need for courtesy.

The monks felt outrage upon hearing this and loudly rebuked him. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

However, within the Taoist Field of the Cloud Sky Realm, cheers erupted.

Especially True Man Ba and True Man Nie, and the cultivators who came along, they cheered loudly, eager to join Wang Ba in battling these demonic monks.

In the crowd, a purple-robed youth also nodded slightly.

Standing among the monks, the Eastern Great Bodhisattva merely shook his head lightly, his face still compassionate, and sighed:

"Layman, you are attached to form; you only see slaughter, yet fail to see our Buddha’s painstaking effort. We strive to recreate the Pure Land of Extreme Joy in the Realm Sea so beings need not suffer, nor strive for the next life. What merit is this...?"

Wang Ba, upon hearing this, rarely showed a hint of a contemptuous smile:

"I’ve heard, ’When the saint does not perish, the great thief will not cease.’

"Though its meaning slightly differs here, it still rings true for people like you who deem themselves sage and sanctified. The sufferings of the masses should be alleviated by themselves. Why do you need to stand high above and make decisions for others?"

Since the opponent was willing to engage in idle talk, he was happy to take the opportunity to stall for time, even if just a moment.

Yet his thoughts were inevitably a bit wishful.

On the left lotus platform, a Yellow-skinned Bodhisattva steered his lotus platform silently before the Eastern Great Bodhisattva. Compared to him, the Yellow-skinned Bodhisattva appeared much smaller, and respectfully said:

"This person’s demonic nature has entered his heart; he does not understand the true meaning of Buddha."

"Great Bodhisattva, I, your disciple, wish to subdue this demon."

The Eastern Great Bodhisattva’s gaze fell upon the Yellow-skinned Bodhisattva, seemingly wanting to speak but stopping, ultimately sighing lightly, and nodded slightly:

"Go ahead."

The Yellow-skinned Bodhisattva clasped his hands in salutation, then turned away, holding an Earth Yellow Treasure Bead in his hand, and left the lotus platform, flying towards Wang Ba.

He did not underestimate Wang Ba. As soon as he approached, he raised the Earth Yellow Treasure Bead in his hand, blowing towards it with a pointed finger at his lips.

A blast of seemingly mundane yellow wind blew towards Wang Ba.

Within the wind seemed to be flying sand and rolling stones, howling and swirling.

Seeing this, Chen Zhongqi’s face changed, he quickly transmitted a message to Wang Ba:

"Taoist Friend Taiyi, be extremely careful. Among the Bodhisattvas, this one ranks twenty-ninth, known as the ’Golden Wind Bodhisattva.’ His status far surpasses those like Wisdom Tu; he excels in the Wind Control Technique. This wind carries a malevolent poison, capable of corrupting the five senses, Spiritual Sense, and even eroding the Prim... "

Mid-sentence, his voice abruptly cut off.

He stared in shock as the yellow wind, blown by the Yellow-skinned Bodhisattva, reached Wang Ba’s side. Instead of attacking, it obediently and gently swirled around Wang Ba, bowing its head submissively like a docile Spirit Beast.

"How, how is this possible?!"

The Yellow-skinned Bodhisattva’s eyes widened in disbelief, staring blankly at the yellow wind surrounding Wang Ba, then lowering his head to look at the Earth Yellow Treasure Bead in his hand, eyes full of bewilderment.

Wang Ba, however, calmly raised his finger, causing the yellow wind to suddenly reverse, returning like a mad demon or an unleashed rabid dog. In an instant, it engulfed the Yellow-skinned Bodhisattva, whose mind was shaken and who frantically tried to evade, biting and corroding him to the utmost.

The protective light on his body rapidly fractured; his Golden Body was further corroded by the wind poison, quickly dimming!

The Yellow-skinned Bodhisattva couldn’t help but cover his eyes, wailing incessantly, the blood flowing unceasingly!

This yellow wind wounded more than just the body; it pierced through the flesh, corroding the Primordial Spirit, so much so that even though he was the master of the yellow wind, he still suffered torment and could not escape.

Only at this point did Wang Ba slightly turn his head to look at Chen Zhongqi, puzzled:

"Chen, what were you just saying it could erode?"

Looking at the Yellow-skinned Bodhisattva in the distance, wailing miserably as the yellow wind took its toll, Chen Zhongqi subconsciously swallowed a nonexistent gulp, shaking his hand:

"N-nothing... Taoist Friend, continue."

Seeing Wang Ba turn his head back, he couldn’t help but let out a breath of relief.

He couldn’t help but secretly mock himself in his heart.

He was being foolish, starting to worry for Taoist Friend Taiyi...
