Chapter 299: Blasting the Golden Cicada, Joyful Arhat!

Tianzhu border.

"Don't bother with the Golden Cicada!"

"Chase and kill those humans!"

"This time, wipe out his entire retinue!"

One strike fell, and before the humans could react, Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha flared with anger! You monkey, even if you're strong, could you possibly overturn heaven?

He actually thought he was Sun Wukong, single-handedly chasing a pack of peers to kill! The Six-Eared Macaque's strength now is at most on par with Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha himself.

It might be a bit higher, but still limited!

What's the point of attacking the strong?

Fighting few against many won't work, and we can't take them down! Better let Golden Cicada Child stake his life to break their formation!

To free up more combat power! Unfortunately, by the time the words were spoken, it was already too late! The Female Drought Demon leapt up, her eyes flashing with a gloomy light!

A frigid killing aura spread, her jet-black nails swelling as they slammed into the iron staff—Boom! The impact rang like clashing metal!

The shockwave scattered everyone nearby! Even though the surroundings were full of immortals, under the clash of two Great Luo Peak experts, they were as fragile as mortals!

Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha sighed deeply! Golden Cicada Child might become the first to die completely! The Female Drought Demon moved first, rushing to clash with the Six-Eared Macaque! Along the way, red sand extended from her fingertips, solidifying into ten sharp sickles, each strike aimed at the Six-Eared Macaque's vital points!

The Six-Eared Macaque also had some skill: with a single move he could read intentions, making it hard for peers to conceal their thoughts! He waved his golden iron staff with tiger-like vigor, always managing to step ahead and intercept the Female Drought Demon's attack line! Each move seemed perilous!

But actually!

The Female Drought Demon's strength wasn't enough to make him feel threatened! Compared to the others, the Six-Eared Macaque was clearly just fishing! He shifted the battlefield and dragged two generals into the fight, easing Golden Cicada Child's pressure!

Afterward, defense outweighed offense!

With the aid of his innate divine ability, the Six-Eared Macaque's fight looked fierce, but in reality he hadn't even scratched a hair!

Down below, people were locked in fierce battle, yet no one could tell what was crucial!

But the Western Three Saints saw it clearly, their faces turning grim! "This plague monkey!"

They were about to warn when two Demon Emperors shot them a sideways glance! "Take care of your own people!"

"Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha alone is holding off three, yet he was originally a Primordial Golden Immortal peak!"

"The Six-Eared Macaque broke through to Great Luo in less than a century and can already hold off three veteran commanders—that's doing his best!"

"If not for his backing!"

The Six-Eared Macaque wouldn't dare so blatantly slack off! He still keeps his combat effectiveness, but he absolutely won't risk his life for it!

The Female Drought Demon trio initially went all-out on the attack!

But as time passed, after noticing that monkey's attitude and his tactics, they also settled down! In fact, this siege didn't require killing everyone—just one death would suffice! The Female Drought Demon kept watch on Golden Cicada Child's battlefield, ready to intervene if things went south—though she was clearly overthinking.

At this moment, the one contending with Golden Cicada Child was Thunder God Chang Xian! His cultivation method is inherently thunderous, and when vibrating the Kui Ox's drumskin, it both generates and counteracts Golden Cicada Child's innate divine ability! Golden Cicada Child is an ancient ferocious insect; at his peak he is terrifying—even a Primordial Golden Immortal can only briefly withstand him!

But now he is weak in cultivation, and before that he was heavily wounded by three blows!

How could he be a match for Chang Xian?

He kept retreating step by step!

His whole body bled from wounds, panting like an ox! He couldn't last even a stick of incense before being struck down to total loss of combat power, collapsing to the ground! "Die!"

Chang Xian let out an angry roar, Thunder Drum Heavy Hammer! He struck the ground, myriad thunder raging! In an instant, he blasted Golden Cicada Child's flesh to ashes!

Buzz! Suddenly a cicada's chirp rose, a golden light shot along the thunder into the distance—Golden Cicada Slough!

Golden Cicada Child's second life-saving divine ability! Thanks to nearly twenty cycles of reincarnation, this life-saving ability has become even more astonishing! While fleeing, he seemed to walk the path of reincarnation!

But in the blink of an eye, he vanished from the battlefield! "Over!"

Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha's face darkened!

After Golden Cicada Child fell, who should fill the vacancy he left?

Combat power was already at a stalemate! Whichever side frees up a strong fighter will tilt the battle decisively!

He couldn't help but glance outward! With defeat so total, shouldn't we send reinforcements?

"You too, come over here!"

The Six-Eared Macaque again wanted to drag someone in to stir the mud and fish! But Chang Xian, as Thunder God, is naturally lightning-fast, drifting off into the distance!

If the Female Drought Demon trio hadn't been entangled, the Six-Eared Macaque might still have a chance to pursue!

But now, as long as Chang Xian is unwilling, he simply cannot be stopped!

Chang Xian hasn't joined either side's strong faction; instead, he roams in all directions!

In his gaze lies a cold killing intent!

What Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha said earlier is exactly what he intends to do! Sizzle!

Lightning flashes!

Piercing through countless Arhats! Each spear of lightning resembles heavenly punishment!

Bringing forth clouds of gold‑red blood! Chang Xian rides the lightning, killing at extreme speed! The Arhats in the sky begin to fall to the ground in visible numbers!

In the blink of an eye, the number of those fallen has reached hundreds!

"Patron, your killing intent is excessive; you should restrain yourself!"

A sigh came from the horizon; the Joyful Chan Master, belly exposed, flung out a Buddhist bowl! The bowl expanded in the wind, covering all directions—silently, it neutralized the lightning!

The path walked by the Joyful Chan Master closely resembles Xuanyuan's; both are immersed in the way of yin‑yang union!

However, though both cultivate the yin‑yang path, the Joyful Chan Master's perseverance is clearly inferior to Xuanyuan's!

Xuanyuan, even if he maims himself, has now reached the ranks of Primordial Golden Immortal peak! Yet the Joyful Chan Master still hasn't truly broken through the Primordial Golden Immortal barrier! But as things stand, his long stagnation might not be a bad thing!

Even if one cultivates to Primordial Golden Immortal peak like the Burning Lamp, what of it?

A single word from those above and you're still knocked back to your original form! Only then does one's mindset explode and Dao heart shatter!

"Joyful Arhat!"

Chang Xian's voice rumbled like thunder, low and imposing.

Not being intoxicated by yin-yang in your cave dwelling, but instead being the first to step out—how rare!

Although Huanxi is an Arhat, however, the Eighteen Arhats of the Buddhist sect are utterly different from the other filler Arhat Vajras! When facing many Arhat Vajras, he can usually take a hundred breaths in a row without hurrying! Yet when facing this one, even he must observe carefully!

The Eighteen Arhats are personally transmitted by the sage! The other Arhats can only be said to have merely reached that level of cultivation!

The difference in combat power is as vast as heaven and earth!

Amitabha!

Huanxi Zen Master wore a frown and a bitter expression, full of reluctance.

Since you, benefactor, know my intentions, why not retreat here?

When we have free time, we can exchange the Dao of Yin and Yang!
