Dragon-Marked War God

“Run!”

No one knew who shouted it, but everyone’s face changed drastically. The Arhats kept moving. The clay and painted glaze on their bodies kept peeling off and falling onto the floor of the hall with ringing clangs, shattering into pieces, scattered everywhere, as if smashing into everyone’s hearts.

Wave after wave of sinister, terrifying aura spread out like an evil dragon emerging from the sea, filling the air with death.

“How could this be? Are these Arhats of the Buddhist Realm?”

“Has Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva really been angered? These Arhats have really started moving.”

“Quick, put Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s thing back!”

Everyone kept backing away as they looked at Yuan Qing and the other two from Zhongsheng Temple and spoke.

Yuan Qing’s expression was cold as he said calmly.

“This is a divine object of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. If Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s spirit is present, he will definitely not attack us. He only dislikes those who do not respect him.”

Yuan Qing the Enlightened’s words made everyone’s faces change in anger. This bastard was making it clear that he would never spit out what he had already swallowed. He put on an inscrutable air, but in fact he was even more detestable than Dou Bai and the others. Even in such a dangerous situation, he did not want to hand over the wolf-fang mace he had just put away.

“Amitabha! What Senior Brother Yuan Qing says is quite right. If it is truly Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, he will definitely not attack us. But if it’s some other demons and monsters, that’s not certain. So we absolutely must not bow to them. We will defend Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s thing with our lives.”

Yuan De the Enlightened also said solemnly. He spoke in such a high-sounding way, but it was nothing more than wanting to keep the wolf-fang mace for themselves and refusing to hand it over. How could they be willing to spit out the fat meat that was already in their mouths? Human greed was on full display, only in the people of Zhongsheng Temple, it looked so vulgar, so contemptible.

On the surface it was to protect Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s thing, but in fact it was to satisfy their own selfish desires. Monks who had left the secular world, men of the Buddhist faith, their true nature was laid bare at this moment. In the Great Thunderclap Temple, they even believed that everything should belong to them.

“These guys are the real bandits.”

Jiang Chen smiled bitterly, his face a little grave. Right now, all of them were watching the Arhats that had quietly begun to move. If not for the danger in front of them, Jiang Chen believed the four great clans would probably have flown into a complete rage by now and wanted to have it out with these guys.

“Jiang Chen, protect yourself.”

Lan Luo glanced at Jiang Chen and nodded firmly. He probably did not need her to worry about him, but just in case, she still did not dare to be careless. The nine Late Hierarch experts who had died miserably earlier had shocked her deeply.

Unfortunately, the danger was right in front of them, shaking them again and again. Those so-called Arhats had already jumped down from the stone steps. Some held giant umbrellas, some held black shields, some bared their fangs. A terrifying aura of death filled the entire hall of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Within a hundred zhang, nearly thirty Arhats began to gradually close in around them. That chilling aura filled everyone’s hearts. The danger could erupt at any moment.

“Each of these Arhats is no weaker than me. It looks like this is going to be a huge challenge.”

Dou Tianhuang’s face also turned ugly. The Arhats looked ferocious, roaring with fury. Everyone’s face turned cold. The Arhats’ attack arrived in an instant.

Steel blades and forks came down from the sky. A powerful Arhat came crashing down directly at Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen struck out with a palm and traded a blow with the pitch-black Arhat. Neither of them gained the slightest advantage. Jiang Chen and the six-armed Arhat collided with a boom, and neither of them retreated. The six-armed Arhat was far more terrifying than Jiang Chen had imagined. Jiang Chen did not dare to be careless. Every move he made was ruthless, every step a crushing punch, and he turned the situation around almost instantly and steadied it. It had to be said that even Jiang Chen had not expected this six-armed Arhat to be so terrifying. It was comparable to an expert at the Half-step Divine Emperor level, with an overwhelming aura.

But at the same time, things were going very badly on the other side. A Half-step Divine Emperor could barely hold on against two Arhats, and three Arhats left them with no way to fight back at all. They could only take the beating passively. Lan Luo was struggling against just one Arhat, narrowly escaping death again and again. In the blink of an eye, the experts of the Xuanyuan Clan were killed instantly. Even the God Luo Clan was no exception. Apart from Luo Binwang and the struggling Goddess Luo, the people of the God Luo Clan had also been ruthlessly driven to their deaths by the Arhats, who were overwhelmingly powerful.

There were thirty Arhats, but there were only seven Half-step Divine Emperors. Apart from them, the only ones who were still holding on were Dou Tianhuang, Lan Luo and Goddess Luo. All the other Late Hierarch experts had died. Of the Xuanyuan Clan, only Xuanyuan Yumo was left.

The sight of the experts of the Xuanyuan Clan having their hearts and livers torn out alive by the Arhats was especially bloody and shocking. It was chilling. Lan Luo and Goddess Luo both frowned deeply, their pretty faces turning slightly cold. They looked a little uncomfortable.

The onslaught of more than thirty Arhats was something they could hardly withstand. None of the Half-step Divine Emperors could suppress these Arhats. One against three, they had to take every step with care. They were stretched thin, hanging between life and death.

Jiang Chen, facing a single six-armed Arhat, was under no pressure at all. At this moment, in the entire hall, he was the only one who seemed a little at ease. But the situation Jiang Chen showed outwardly was extremely precarious. On one hand, he was showing weakness to the enemy. On the other hand, Jiang Chen did not want to reveal his strength too early. If he did, he might very well be ganged up on by everyone. As long as he did not die, he would have plenty of chances.

The only people Jiang Chen wanted to protect were Goddess Luo and Lan Luo. Goddess Luo was the woman Big Yellow liked. Jiang Chen would not let anything happen to her even if he had to risk his life. Otherwise, how could he explain it to his brother? But now, it seemed that was not necessary. That Luo Binwang was extremely attentive to Goddess Luo. Even while he himself was being suppressed, he never once forgot about Goddess Luo. It was clear that Luo Binwang was also full of love for Goddess Luo.

“Puff——”

Yuan Bao the Enlightened was hit by an Arhat’s punch and knocked back dozens of steps. These Arhats had bronze skin and iron bones. There was no way to damage their bodies. The only way to seriously hurt them was to destroy them outright. Otherwise, nothing had the slightest effect.

Yuan Qing and Yuan De were also having an extremely hard time. Besieged by eight great Arhats, they too could no longer hold out alone. Half-step Divine Emperors were being suppressed so miserably here. Jiang Chen had not expected this either. All he could say was that these Arhats were truly terrifying. Even after hundreds of millions of years, they were still invincibly strong.

“Run, we’re no match for them!”
