Dragon-Marked War God

It had to be said that the appearance of Venerable Jianan and Venerable Anan directly changed the situation. Jiang Chen no longer had any chance of winning at all. Their good days had finally come. Unfortunately, the God Suppressing Monument was destined not to fall into their pockets. Kasyapa Temple had been the oriole waiting behind the mantis stalking the cicada, and the final victory now surely belonged to them.

“Amitabha! Greetings, Wu De the Enlightened. Enlightened ones, this humble monk Jianan will certainly send you all back to your temples, safe from the demons.”

Venerable Jianan said calmly, composed and at ease. But at this moment, it was clear he had announced his arrival, and nothing here would be able to hide from him.

“The Reincarnated Living Buddha is in truth a peerless demon. This time, I, Venerable Anan, will not tolerate it. If you convert to our Buddha now and come with me to Kasyapa Temple to receive the precepts for ten thousand years, perhaps the Buddha will spare your life. The sea of suffering is boundless; turn your head and the shore is near. The Buddha can forgive all living beings. As long as you are willing to lay down your butcher’s knife, everything has its destined course. Wicked son, wicked beast, why don’t you bow your heads and surrender? Amitabha.”

Venerable Anan’s gaze blazed like a torch as he looked at the Monk Tyrant and Fire Qilin.

At this moment, their faces turned completely ugly. Even Wei Xiaolong, Xuanyuan Yumo and the others were delighted at heart, but although they had taken the initiative, they no longer had any chance at the God Suppressing Monument. These people were reinforcements, but reinforcements also needed to be paid. Otherwise, why would they be willing to put in the effort?

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes. For all his careful calculations, in the end he was still one move short. He had never seen these two guys anywhere in the Great Thunderclap Temple illusion from start to finish, but their appearance here at the end made his heart sink. Clearly, even Wu De the Enlightened and the others did not look very happy about it. These few guys were surely not to be underestimated.

At this moment, the Monk Tyrant and Fire Qilin were both extremely grave. The real danger was only just beginning!

“What if I refuse?”

The Monk Tyrant said coldly.

What difference was there between these hypocrites and Wu De the Enlightened and the others? Which of them was not after the God Suppressing Monument for themselves? They said they were upholding justice, but they were blinded by greed. After the Buddhist Realm collapsed, there was no one left to uphold justice, and the whole Divine World had truly fallen into a hopeless state. What was true righteousness? What was true integrity?

Strength! In a world where strength is everything, whoever has the harder fist has the biggest truth.

“You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. That can only mean you don’t know what’s good for you. The Buddha will not forgive you. You have killed so many people. Only because our Buddha is merciful did I urge you to convert completely and come back with me to Kasyapa Temple to receive the precepts. But you are stubborn and refuse to see reason. For every injustice and unfairness in the world, I will carry out justice on behalf of heaven. Our Buddhist faith will never tolerate a wicked person like you who has killed countless people and still does not repent. You are not worthy of the word Buddhist at all.”

Venerable Anan said with disdain, belittling the Monk Tyrant endlessly. He had already given the Monk Tyrant the best choice, yet he still refused to repent, so they could only resolve it by force.

“Amitabha. Enough has been said. Monk Tyrant, today will be the day you pass into nirvana.”

Venerable Jianan looked at the Monk Tyrant coldly and said in a deep voice. The two of them were each stronger than Wu De the Enlightened after he had used the Arhat Golden Body. With the two of them joining hands, no one could stop them at all. Even Xuanyuan Yumo and the others could only avoid their edge and did not dare to steal their limelight.

“Let’s make our move, Senior Brother. This wretch won’t listen to reason at all. We can only let him repent properly after he goes to hell. Humph.”

Venerable Anan had already clenched his fists, ready to fight at any moment.

“All right!”

Venerable Jianan and his companion quickly joined the fight. With lightning-fast methods, the two of them quickly forced the Monk Tyrant and Fire Qilin back. Terrifying waves of qi rolled out. The strength of Venerable Jianan and Venerable Anan exceeded even Jiang Chen’s expectations. The two of them had already come infinitely close to true Divine Emperors. They were no weaker than the Golden Body Arhats, even a level stronger. The Monk Tyrant and Fire Qilin could not withstand their attacks at all. Almost in an instant, the scales of victory tipped toward them.

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes. This could not go on. They would surely be killed by the two great Venerables of Kasyapa Temple. His strength could not recover to its peak at all right now. It was only at twenty to thirty percent. Driving them back was completely impossible, and even using fused Heavenly Lightning once more would be no more than a drop in the bucket.

All Jiang Chen could do was hope that the Monk Tyrant and Fire Qilin could hold on a bit longer. Once he recovered seventy percent of his strength, then facing these two guys again, Jiang Chen would be confident of driving them back.

But time waits for no one. What Jiang Chen had hoped for did not come to pass after all. The Monk Tyrant collapsed like a routed army. Even the God Suppressing Monument could not protect him. He was badly wounded by Venerable Jianan one blow after another, and his body was declining endlessly. Venerable Jianan’s terror was beyond imagination. Most importantly, Venerable Jianan had an incredibly powerful Buddhist bead in his hand. Jiang Chen had noticed it, and the Monk Tyrant must have noticed it too. If not for that terrifying Buddhist bead, the Monk Tyrant would never have been defeated so quickly.

On the other side, Wei Xiaolong, Xuanyuan Yumo and the others also quickly followed up, giving the Monk Tyrant no chance at all. At this moment, Fire Qilin was in an even more horrible state than the Monk Tyrant, but his divine beast body could withstand powerful impacts, which the Monk Tyrant did not have. But the miserable state of both of them made Jiang Chen’s eyes turn extremely cold. He had to find a chance to strike. Otherwise, the two of them would surely die.

“Damn you all. I’ll make every one of you die here!”

Jiang Chen said coldly in his heart. Time passed minute by minute and second by second. The Monk Tyrant was on his last breath, yet he still held onto the God Suppressing Monument. At this moment, Jiang Chen had already quietly and invisibly set up a protective formation. Once the formation was activated, it could at least withstand a Divine Emperor Realm expert’s attacks for the time it took an incense stick to burn. This was the last bit of time Jiang Chen could buy for them. If he went into the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda himself, Jiang Chen was very worried that these guys would see through it. These people were no ordinary people, and Jiang Chen did not dare release the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda. If his strength was not enough to support the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda, their situation would also become extremely difficult. So the last resort was to set up a great protective formation.

The Monk Tyrant and Fire Qilin were already gravely wounded, on the verge of death. Jiang Chen kept gathering strength. He wanted to snatch the two of them away in an instant. That was his ultimate goal.

“Die! You are not worthy of being a Buddhist disciple.”

Venerable Anan roared furiously. The Buddhist beads in his hand turned, heaven and earth changed color, and he came crashing straight down. The Monk Tyrant was wounded once again, spitting out mouthful after mouthful of blood. At this moment, Qing Xuan also broke free of the formation, but Jiang Chen immediately made a move and threw her straight into the protective formation.

“Great Void Technique!”

Jiang Chen used the Great Void Technique and appeared out of thin air, throwing the gravely wounded Fire Qilin and the Monk Tyrant into the protective formation. He himself retreated step by step.

“You’re already about to die yourself, yet you still want to save others. Do you really think the few of you can escape from the palm of our hand?”

Venerable Jianan said calmly, a trace of contempt in his eyes. At this moment, they were only delaying death.
