You said you could kill the evil spirits without me, why are you crying now?

Chapter 418 The Seven-Storied Pagoda of the Pagoda-Bearing Arhat

Tamamonomae's beautiful face was filled with cold sarcasm.
As a member of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan, she was born with nobility and pride, which made her sneer at the words of the little monk Mingchan in front of her: "If you want us to retreat, it is absolutely impossible with just a few words from a little monk like you.

After all, what you bald asses say is not reliable. "

Meichan didn't show any sign of anger. His face was as calm as water, and he could understand every bit of hostility from Tamamonomae.

He nodded gently and said calmly, "You are right. It is impossible for you to fully trust me with just a few words from me. I would probably do the same if it were me. But I will use practical actions to make you trust me."

After saying this, he turned around and looked towards the jungle in the distance.
His deep eyes penetrated through the layers of branches and leaves, and saw the impending crisis.

Soon, a steady sound of footsteps was heard not far away, and the earth was shaking.

The Gate-Guarding Arhat and the Tiger-Subduing Arhat strode over with a dozen other monks. They were dressed in simple monk robes, but their powerful martial arts aura could not be concealed.

Every step he took seemed to have a tremendous force, causing the surrounding air to vibrate.

Beside them followed Archbishop Guerrero of the Holy See of Light.

Guerrero was dressed in a gorgeous white robe, with golden lines gleaming with sacred light in the sun.
The sacred power of light permeated his entire body, like a walking sun, shining brightly.

On the other side, Xia Chengli stood next to Tamamonomae and Meichan.

Tamamonomae was a member of the nine-tailed demon fox clan, and her natural magical powers were unparalleled in the world.

At this moment, demonic energy surged around her body, and nine huge fox tails were dancing wildly behind her, each of which contained the power to destroy the world.

She raised her head and let out a long and shrill fox howl. The sound was like tangible ripples that spread out in all directions. Wherever it passed, trees broke and dust flew.

Seeing this, Ming Chan quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something.

In an instant, a soft golden Buddha light emanated from his body, which echoed with Tamamonomae's demonic aura without conflicting with each other.

The Buddha's light is like warm sunshine, illuminating the surrounding darkness and giving people a feeling of tranquility and peace, which is in sharp contrast to Tamamonomae's demonic aura full of wildness and power.

Xia Chengli took a deep breath and concentrated his martial arts power in his palms.

A faint blue light appeared in her palm, and the light was like flowing lake water. It seemed calm, but in fact it contained endless energy.

Her eyes became extremely sharp, staring at the enemy in front of her, ready to attack at any time.

You are indeed here.

The gatekeeper Arhat spoke, his eyes falling on Jin Chanzi.

The young monk just pursed his lips and didn't answer.

The gatekeeper Arhat took the first step. His body was as fast as lightning and he appeared in front of Xia Chengli in an instant.

The palm of his hand was like a palm-leaf fan, blowing wind down on Xia Chengli's head with a whistling sound.

The power in the palm can split mountains and rocks. If you are hit, the consequences will be disastrous.

Xia Chengli was not in a hurry. She dodged to the side and cleverly avoided the attack of the gatekeeper Arhat.

At the same time, she transformed the martial arts power condensed in her palm into a blue sword energy and stabbed it towards the chest of the gatekeeper Arhat.

Upon seeing this, the gatekeeper Arhat quickly retracted his palm and quickly rotated it in front of him to form a solid defensive barrier.

The sword energy hit the barrier, making a sharp sound and splashing countless sparks.

Xia Chengli's whole body burst out, huge lightning and strong electric current filled the space in all directions. He fought with the gatekeeper Arhat, but at the moment of the fight, the gatekeeper Arhat was completely suppressed.

The Subduing Tiger Arhat was not to be outdone. He let out a loud roar, and a powerful tiger power surged around his body.

His body expanded several times in an instant, transforming into a gigantic, ferocious tiger, pouncing towards Tamamonomae.

Tamamonomae sneered, and the nine fox tails danced at the same time. Each fox tail turned into a black sharp blade and slashed towards the Subduing Tiger Arhat.

The sharp blade and the tiger claw collided with each other, making a series of metallic sounds.

The tiger claws of the Subduing Tiger Arhat were extremely hard, but they were also scratched deep by the sharp blade of Tamamonomae's fox tail.

Other monks also joined the battle, each of them displaying their unique skills.

For a moment, the flashes of swords and the lights of magic intertwined, turning the edge of the jungle into a battlefield. Some monks wielded Zen staffs, and each strike was powerful.

Some monks used their light skills to move freely in the air and constantly launch sneak attacks on the enemy.

Archbishop Guerrero of the Holy See of Light stood aside, chanting a mysterious spell.

A Bible emitting golden light appeared in his hand. The words on the Bible seemed to come alive, floating into the air and gathering into a huge lightsaber.

The lightsaber shone with a sacred light and shot towards Meichan.

Ming Chan put his hands together, and a golden Buddha shield appeared in front of him.

The lightsaber hit the Buddha shield, emitting a dazzling light. The Buddha shield trembled slightly, but still firmly blocked the lightsaber attack.

Tamamonomae seized the opportunity and used his innate magical power, the Enchanting Eyes.

Her eyes sparkled with a strange light, which was like an invisible force.

Attacked the Gate-Guarding Arhat, the Tiger-Subduing Arhat and others.

The monks enveloped by the light suddenly became dazed and fell into an endless illusion.

Their movements became sluggish, and their originally fierce attacks became weak and powerless.

Xia Chengli seized this opportunity and increased his martial arts power to the extreme.

A blue halo appeared around her body, and she turned into a blue meteor, rushing towards Fu Hu Luohan.

A long sword formed by the power of martial arts appeared in her hand. The long sword flashed with a cold light and stabbed at the vital point of Fu Hu Luohan with an indomitable momentum.

The Subduing Tiger Arhat struggled in the illusion, trying to avoid the fatal blow, but found that his body was out of control.

Just as the sword was about to pierce his body, Guerrero sensed the danger.

He quickly interrupted the spell, and the Bible in his hand turned into a golden light and flew towards Xia Chengli.

The golden light hit Xia Chengli's sword, shattering it into pieces.

Xia Chengli was also knocked backwards by this force, spurting blood from his mouth.

When Tamamonomae saw Xia Chengli was injured, she became furious.

She spread out all nine of her fox tails and used all her might to unleash the fox's world-destroying powers.

Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and black evil energy swept towards the enemy like surging waves.

Wherever the evil spirit passed, trees turned to ashes in an instant and huge cracks were torn into the ground.

The Gate-Guarding Arhat, the Tiger-Subduing Arhat and others felt an unprecedented crisis.
They gathered together and cast their strongest defensive spells.

Guerrero also raised the Bible in his hand again and chanted an even more obscure spell.

A thick golden shield of light appeared around his body, engraved with mysterious runes, emitting powerful divine power.

The golden light shield collided with Tamamonomae's demonic energy, making a loud earth-shaking noise.

The whole world trembled under the impact of this power, and the light illuminated the entire jungle.

Ming Chan knew that he couldn't just sit there and watch. He mobilized the Buddha's light in his body.
Condense it into a huge golden lotus.

The golden lotus slowly rotated, emitting a gentle yet powerful force. Meichan pushed the golden lotus between Tamamonomae's demonic aura and the enemy's defense, trying to relieve Tamamonomae's pressure.

The golden lotus, demonic energy and light shield blended together, forming a wonderful balance.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, the situation suddenly changed.

Deep in the dense forest, the silence was broken by the sound of steady footsteps.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall arhat slowly walking out.

His face was solemn and dignified, his eyes were deep and restrained, and he held a seven-story pagoda steadily in his hands.

In the sunlight, the pagoda sparkles with colorful glass-like light, and each ray of light contains endless mysterious power.

When he saw this arhat, even Ming Chan, who was usually calm, couldn't help but change his expression suddenly.

His voice trembled slightly, and he said with some shock and helplessness: "This is the Tower-Bearing Arhat, ranked fourth among the Eighteen Arhats, and his strength is extraordinary."

At this moment, Mingchan's mind was clear that the Eighteen Arhats were the top fighting force of the Buddhist Kingdom.

Since the huge population empire was completely transformed into a Buddhist country,
They gained unimaginable bonus of power of faith, and their strength increased to a terrifying level.

He thought to himself that Abbot Tonghua must have anticipated his actions and secretly sent this powerful Pagoda-Bearing Arhat.

If he did not show up with anyone, the Pagoda-Bearing Arhat hiding in the dark would not appear.

The Pagoda-Bearing Arhat said nothing, but slowly opened his palms.

In an instant, the seven-story pagoda in his hand shot up into the sky like an arrow from a bow, accompanied by a whistling sound.

The pagoda rose higher and higher, spinning rapidly in the air. The colorful glazed light on the tower became more and more dazzling, like a sun blooming with seven colors, completely covering the entire venue.

The seven colors of light intertwined and entangled with each other, becoming thick as ink, just like a plate of freshly mixed viscous color liquid poured into the space.

The lights quickly condensed in the air, forming an invisible yet indestructible barrier.

"The Buddha said, 'Well done, Ananda. You should know that all living beings have been in a cycle of birth and death since time immemorial. This is because they do not know the true mind that always exists, the pure and bright nature. They use all kinds of false thoughts. These thoughts are not true, so there is reincarnation."

"All phenomena are impermanent, they are subject to birth and death. When birth and death are extinguished, nirvana is bliss. This is the profound meaning of the Buddhist scriptures."

As the pagoda was enveloped by light, countless golden scriptures appeared and disappeared in the light like agile fish.

The scriptures flickered with a faint light, as if countless devout monks were chanting in unison. The low and solemn voice echoed in the space, carrying a power that shook the soul.

Faced with this sudden change, Xia Chengli only felt a powerful oppressive force coming from all directions, as if countless invisible hands were tightly binding her body.

She tried to mobilize the martial arts power in her body, but found that the circulation of power became extremely difficult. Every surge of power was like struggling in a sticky quagmire.

Her face turned pale, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.
The look he gave Ming Chan was filled with anxiety and confusion: "This...what on earth is going on? Why is this power so strange!?"

Tamamonomae also felt unprecedented pressure. Her nine fox tails, which were originally agile and free, now seemed to be bound by heavy shackles and could only swing slightly.

There was a flash of fear in her eyes, but more of it was unwillingness. She gritted her teeth and said, "What the hell is this damn pagoda? Are we going to die here today?"

Ming Chan closed his eyes tightly, trying to rely on his profound Buddhist practice to resist this suppressive force.

He quickly formed seals with his hands, muttered something, and a faint golden Buddha light emanated from his body. However, in front of the powerful force of the pagoda, the Buddha light seemed so dim and fragile.

He slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of helplessness: "This is the seven-story pagoda of the Pagoda-Bearing Arhat. The power it contains is definitely not something we can easily contend with.

This light can not only suppress our actions, but also disturb our minds and weaken our strength. It seems that today's battle is likely to be disastrous."

At this time, other people on the battlefield were also in trouble.

Some of the companions who had originally fought with Xia Chengli and Tamamonomae were forced to kneel on one knee due to the pressure of the light. The weapons in their hands became extremely heavy, as if they were burdened with a thousand pounds of weight.

Some held their heads and groaned in pain, obviously disturbed by the scriptures that kept appearing in their minds.

Tota Arhat stood aside, watching all this quietly, with no expression on his face. His eyes were cold, as if the people in front of him were just insignificant ants.

He spoke slowly, his voice low and loud, resounding in this space like a huge bell: "Everything is false, your struggle is in vain. Let go of your obsessions and join the Buddhist sect, that is the way to liberation."

When Tamamonomae heard this, he laughed out of anger: "Liberation? You old bald ass, what right do you have to decide our fate! You want us to surrender? It's just a foolish dream!"

She tried her best and swung her nine fox tails violently, trying to break through the restraint of the light. However, as soon as the power touched the light, it disappeared without a trace.

Xia Chengli was not willing to be outdone. She gritted her teeth, endured the discomfort in her body, and gathered the remaining martial arts strength in her fists.

Her fists trembled slightly, and the air around her was distorted by the force.

She shouted loudly and rushed towards the Pagoda-Bearing Arhat, but her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground and every step she took was extremely difficult.

Upon seeing this, Tota Arhat shook his head slightly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

He raised his hand gently and flicked it towards Xia Chengli, and an invisible force knocked her away.

Xia Chengli fell heavily to the ground, spurting out a mouthful of blood, but his eyes still showed an unyielding light.

Mingchan looked at the tragic scene in front of him, his heart filled with sadness.

In their current state, it is almost impossible to defeat Tota Arhat.

But the obsession in his heart never dissipated. He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that there would be a glimmer of hope.

Just when everyone was falling into despair, a low roar suddenly came from the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw a dark cloud gathering rapidly, with a strange purple light flashing in the cloud.

The light grew brighter and brighter, as if something terrible was about to happen.

The face of the Pagoda-Bearing Arhat also changed slightly. He looked at the sky vigilantly, and the pagoda in his hand shone brighter, as if he was guarding against something.

The mysterious power did not arrive as everyone expected.

After a while, the dark clouds gradually dissipated and everything returned to calm.

But this brief change gave everyone a glimmer of hope.

Xia Chengli struggled to stand up and looked at Mingchan and Tamamonomae, with a gleam of determination in his eyes: "No matter what, we can't just give up like this. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we must fight to the end!"

Tamamonomae nodded, her eyes rekindled with fighting spirit: "Yes, the worst that can happen is death. I will not be defeated so easily by this old bald ass!"

Ming Chan took a deep breath and mobilized the strength in his body again. Although the Buddha's light on his body was weak, it burned more vigorously.

At this final moment, everyone burst out with their last bit of strength.

They ignored the pain in their bodies and the powerful suppressive force and rushed towards the Pagoda-Bearing Arhat.

However, the seven-story pagoda of the Pagoda-Bearing Arhat still shone, and their attacks seemed so powerless in front of that light.

As time went by, everyone's strength was gradually exhausted and their bodies became weaker and weaker.

Finally, they fell to the ground one by one, unable to get up again.

The Pagoda-Bearing Arhat looked at the people in front of him and slowly put away the seven-story pagoda.

He turned and left, leaving behind only a devastated battlefield and the loser lying on the ground.

This battle ended with the complete defeat of Mingchan, Xia Chengli and Tamamonomae...
