Chapter 286: When the Maps Are Exhausted, the Dagger Appears

The Seal-Heaven Great Handprint fell, and in an instant it shattered the seemingly impregnable barrier into pieces.

Within the barrier, the Daoist casting the spell had an awful expression; he never imagined that, even in the military camp, he would be so easily found by the enemy.

"Prince Yin Jiao, quickly send someone to protect me, otherwise my spell will be interrupted!"

The Daoist shouted urgently.

But after calling for help, the Daoist discovered there was no response at all.

"Damn it, could it be that Prince Yin Jiao is preparing to abandon me?"

Thinking of this, the Daoist's expression turned grim.

"Go die!"

On the other side, Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun also didn't expect things to go so smoothly, yet he showed no mercy, forming hand seals.

The next moment, the Escape Dragon Pillar flew out from Jinzha's body beside him.

Obviously, even though the treasure was bestowed upon Jinzha, the right to use the Escape Dragon Pillar had always been firmly held by Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun.

"My life is at an end, Mother, save your child!"

Watching the Escape Dragon Pillar fly through the air, the Daoist instinctively called out to his mother for help.

This seems to have become his habit!

But what the Daoist didn't expect was that, seeing the treasure about to fall on his head, it suddenly halted mid‑air.

"Huh?"

On the other side, Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun also noticed the anomaly of the Escape Dragon Pillar.

But before Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun could react, the Escape Dragon Pillar burst forth with endless blinding golden light.

At the same time, countless golden dragons flew out from the golden light, swooping toward Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun.

"How is this possible? This isn't my Escape Dragon Pillar!"

His figure flashed hastily; Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun seemed to realize something, turning his head to stare fixedly at Jinzha.

"Wicked disciple, what have you done?"

Obviously, only Jinzha could have caused the change in the Escape Dragon Pillar.

"Master, this is also the last time I will call you master!"

Jinzha said this and immediately drew the World‑Destroying Demonic Spear.

This spear is precisely the treasure that Ao Yifan recently bestowed upon his eldest son.

After all, as Ao Yifan's first child, how could he lack a hidden ace?

"Wicked disciple, you dare to kill your master?"

At this moment, Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun was both shocked and furious.

What shocked him was that he couldn't fathom why Jinzha, whose mind he had controlled, would break free and attack him.

What angered him was that this wicked disciple actually dared to slay his master, despite merely being a Taiyi Golden Immortal—how could he dare?

"Seek death!"

Despite the siege of myriad golden dragons, Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun still had the strength to retaliate.

Only see his hand gathering magical power; soon a golden light coalesced and slashed toward Jinzha.

The power of a Daluo Golden Immortal exploded instantly; against Jinzha, who possessed only Taiyi Golden Immortal strength, it was overwhelming.

"Urgent as law and decree, Father, aid me!"

As Jinzha silently recited it, on the other side, Ao Yifan, who was obeying Lady Yin's orders to punish Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai, paused slightly.

"Prince Consort, are you tired?"

Xiao Qing asked worriedly, after all, the punishments before were never this mild.

"How could that be? Demon, die!"

Ao Yifan gave a cold shout, and in his heart he had already lent a portion of his power to his eldest son.

……

"So this is the power!"

Speaking of which, Ao Yifan's children, more or less, have all used the "Father Aid Me" divine ability.

But only Jinzha feels he is the eldest brother to all his younger siblings, preferring to rely on himself as an example for them.

However, faced now with Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun's Daluo Golden Immortal cultivation, Jinzha could not remain inflexible; he immediately employed the "Father Aid Me" divine ability.

A mighty power surged into his body; in an instant Jinzha felt the immense pressure from Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun dissipate completely.

"Manjusri, from the moment you imposed your controlling spell on me, our master‑disciple affinity ended; today is the time of your demise!"

With a fierce shout, Jinzha brandished the World‑Destroying Demonic Spear and charged forward to meet Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun.

The demonic spear swept forth, the terrifying demonic qi colliding with the spiritual sword light.

The terrifying explosive force caused Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun's stance to falter slightly.

"What powerful demonic qi, wicked disciple, you dare to cultivate the demonic path!"

Burning with rage, Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun never imagined that the disciple he used to ward off the calamity would rebel against him.

"Die!"

Nevertheless, although he didn't know why this wicked disciple's strength had suddenly surged, in Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun's view Jinzha still seemed rather immature.

He formed hand seals; the next moment, strands of lightning condensed around Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun, turning into lightning talismans hovering around him.

"Myriad Thunder Extermination of Demons Formation!"

With a low cry, he saw lightning talismans flying in the air; in an instant they laid a formation around Jinzha.

"Boom—"

Upon the lightning talismans, endless lightning swept over, instantly submerging Jinzha.

Facing the thunder coming from all directions, Jinzha continuously wielded the World-Extinguishing Demon Spear in his hand, blocking the attacks.

"Wicked disciple, you still have some ability!"

Seeing that even his Myriad Thunder Demon-Slaying Formation could not subdue this wicked disciple, the expression on Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun's face instantly became somewhat uncertain.

"Junior Sister Cihang, quickly help me capture this wicked disciple!"

Worried that delay would bring change, Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun immediately sought help from Cihang Daoist.

Hearing this, Cihang Daoist said nothing, lightly waving the willow branch taken from the glass bottle.

In the next moment, a willow leaf fluttered about, and in an instant it swept toward Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun.

"Junior Sister, what are you doing?"

The sudden sneak attack left Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun with no reaction; he was directly bound by the willow leaf on the spot.

At the same time, myriad golden dragons fell from the sky, firmly holding Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun in place.

"Boom—"

At the same time, demonic energy erupted, and the Myriad Thunder Demon-Slaying Formation, having lost Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun's control, was also swept clean by the World-Extinguishing Demon Spear.

Holding the World-Extinguishing Demon Spear, Jinzha glanced at Cihang Daoist, bowed, and said, "Thank you for your help, young lady!"

Hearing this, Cihang Daoist did not retort, nodded and said, "Go ahead, use your demon spear to settle him; only then can we prevent others from calculating."

Hearing their conversation, the bound Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun trembled all over with anger.

"Cihang, you dare to betray!"

Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun shouted sternly.

"'Betrayal? We have already betrayed once before; now I am merely betraying again—what's wrong with that?'"

"Indeed, having already betrayed the Chan Teaching, betraying the Western Teaching again seems to carry no psychological burden."

"Hmph, you think this can capture me? Ridiculous!"

Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun gave a cold snort, and immediately his surrounding glass-like dharma manifestation rose up, instantly transforming into a hundred-foot-tall giant.

At the same time, the myriad golden dragons that bound Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun also shattered one after another.

"'Bodhisattva dharma manifestation, I never expected that you, Manjusri, have cultivated the Western Teaching's secret art to such an extent!'"
