Chapter 383: Invincible Below the Saint, One-for-One Above the Saint

Wenshu Pusa was truly startled upon hearing the remarks of the two Saints.

What happened? Who is going to attack Lingshan? No, why?

Is it the Destined One again?

Does she only have her eyes set on attacking Lingshan? How many times has she attacked? Is she not tired?

However, the situation this time seems truly dire, as even the two Saints have appeared.

"Amituofo."

"Buddha, if someone is truly going to attack Lingshan, should we quickly arrange a method of response?"

Rulai opened his eyes; for some reason, this time he had an ominous premonition.

However, the Wutian Great Tribulation had not yet begun, and even if Tang An truly wanted to kill him, the Heavenly Dao would inevitably intervene.

It was not yet his time to enter Parinirvana.

Thinking of this, Rulai felt much more at ease.

"All Buddhas, heed my command."

"We accept your command."

"With a crisis at hand, I hope you will all join me in guarding Lingshan. Do not let those demonic outsiders attack our holy land of Lingshan."

"Yes!"

The Buddhas of Lingshan also moved.

This would be a true and lasting war.

No one dared to slacken, because two Saints had shown themselves. This meant that the Saints of Daoism might also appear.

They still remembered clearly the time when Tongtian Jiaozhu forced his way to Lingshan several times.

This time... who knows which Saint might come.

Outside the Lingshan Array.

The array had already been activated, blocking Tang An and her group outside.

Tang An looked at Kong Xuan and Guanyin, "Can you two break this array?"

Kong Xuan shook his head slightly; although he was once the Peacock Great Wisdom King Bodhisattva of the Western Sect, he had never deigned to come to this Lingshan.

Guanyin did know the method to break the array, but...

"One must borrow a Saint's Power to break the array."

"A Saint, is it."

Tang An looked up at the sky; could it be that without a Saint, she could do nothing?

"You demonstrate the method of breaking the array, and I will break it myself."

Guanyin was puzzled, "You? But you..."

"Just demonstrate it."

"Very well." Guanyin did not dawdle and immediately formed seals with her hands, demonstrating the method of breaking the array to Tang An once.

Tang An found the key to breaking the array, and her middle finger was cut by a blade of wind.

Zhenyuan Daxian, Yuding Zhenren, and Taiyi Zhenren immediately saw what Tang An was about to do.

"No!"

Tang An wore a faint smile as she used her finger as a brush to lay down a blood array before her.

"The ordeal of the True and False Monkey King—Lingshan plotted an ambush, attempting to replace us."

"The Heart Demon trial of Baimu Mojun—Lingshan controlled demons to kill me and destroy my Dao Heart, forcing me to accept that cruel reality."

"On Lion Camel Ridge, countless innocent mortals died. Lingshan must take the primary blame."

"The Outer Realm Demon Race appeared strangely to intercept the four of us, attempting to seize our bodies and also to intercept my Merit."

"The Azure Lion and White Elephant were controlled by Demonic Qi, and while I was off guard, they killed my closest kin."

"Those incidents, one by one, must all be settled today."

Tang An finished casting the spell, chanting words under her breath.

The blood-red light of the array flared intensely and imprinted itself onto her brow.

"When it comes to revenge, of course, doing it yourself is the most satisfying."

As she finished speaking, a terrifying power surged from Tang An as the center, shaking the surrounding people back.

Of course, it was only a shockwave; it did not injure them.

Zhenyuanzi was filled with grief and anxiety, saying, "But once the Forbidden Blood Array is activated, your Primordial Spirit will burn at an exponentially accelerated rate. Even if you can possess a Saint's Power, it will be but a fleeting moment."

"Until the last trace of your Primordial Spirit Power is burned away, you will have no possibility of returning!"

"Returning?"

Tang An smiled bitterly; she had originally... come with the resolve to die.

Although she did not want to admit she was Yunxiao, she and Yunxiao were the same in both temperament and choices.

Neither of them wished to be controlled or bound by rules. Even if they exhausted all their strength and were left with only death in the end, they would never regret it.

Before it was the Investiture of the Gods, and now it is that game of chess laid out by Nuwa, or perhaps the Heavenly Dao, those games that have yet to end.

Regardless of the ultimate goal of their chess game, what Tang An must do is to disregard everything and always prioritize herself.

Disregarding the Fixed Number of the Heavenly Dao, she would forge a new path and fight with all her might. Even if she died, she would use the most vibrant blood to overturn this game!

Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, and Nezha looked at each other; they did not stop Tang An but flew to her side.

"Master, let us break the array."

Tang An was slightly surprised, but she also felt the satisfaction of being understood by those on the same frequency.

"Very well!"

She unleashed her full aura, her robes transforming into a magnificent garment condensed from Dharma Power. The skirt was a blend of blue and green, the lapels covered in auspicious cloud patterns, and the silk ribbons draped around her arms floated in the sky, fully manifesting a sacred aura.

Behind her, a golden wheel of Merit appeared, and within the golden wheel seemed to be the land of Huaxia, with pavilions of a prosperous age.

Tang An formed hand seals, and circles of an Array rippled out beneath her feet.

When the Array was completed, the heavens and earth lost their color, and dark clouds gathered over Lingshan. At the same time, a massive Great Array that seemed to encompass the heavens and earth slowly descended from the dark clouds.

The Array appeared to fall slowly, yet its oppressive force was suffocating. In the blink of an eye, however, it pressed down upon the Lingshan Array.

Seeing the Lingshan Array in danger, the Two Sages, Zhunti and Jieyin, appeared.

"Relying on you alone, even if you sacrifice yourself to Enter Sainthood, you cannot break the array in the hands of us Two Sages."

Tang An looked at the two Western Sages; if she didn't have so little time, she would really like to kill both of these bald donkeys as well.

She flashed instantly above the Lingshan Array and stood at the center of the formation. With a condescending posture, she looked down on the Two Sages with contempt.

"It seems you truly do not know what it means to be the number one person beneath a Saint."

Jieyin and Zhunti were stunned, their expressions extremely ugly. Clearly, they were aware, otherwise, they would not have appeared together to stabilize the Lingshan Array.

"When I was a Half-Saint, I could trade one for one even against those above a Saint."

"Now that I have stepped into the Saint realm and possess a Saint's Power, what kind of trash are you?"

The moment Tang An's eyes turned cold, she tapped her finger downward; the Array beneath her feet shone brilliantly and began to rotate rapidly, pressing down.

Jieyin and Zhunti's faces turned red, and blue veins bulged on their necks and faces. Clearly, they were exerting all their strength to maintain the Great Array, and also to maintain the dignity of the Lingshan Saint.

"Crack—!"

It was the sound of cracks forming, like glass.

First one crack appeared, spreading endlessly. Then a second, a third... until the defensive barrier of the Lingshan Array was covered in cracks.

"Clang—!"

The Lingshan Array was broken.

Jieyin and Zhunti let out muffled groans, and blood flowed from the corners of both their mouths.

Tang An raised her right hand and pointed her finger forward.

"Kill."

"Kill!"

"Kill!!!"

Whether immortal, demon, ghost, or monster, following Tang An's order, the grand drama of the siege on Lingshan officially raised its curtain from this moment on.
