“Xuanzang, how come you’re here?!” Looking at Jiang Liu, who came holding the Treasure-Seeking Mirror, Guanyin’s face filled with a look of surprise, and she asked incredulously.
Logically speaking, Xuanzang should be on the Journey to the West, and without any unusual occurrences, he would not deviate from the path of seeking scriptures.
So, why did Guanyin always feel that Xuanzang was always looking for excuses to leave the path of seeking scriptures, wandering around aimlessly?
Was it just her imagination?
“Bodhisattva, I never imagined it would be you!” However, contrary to Guanyin’s surprise, Jiang Liu appeared utterly incredulous, pointing at Guanyin as he spoke.
“What is it?
What do you have in your hand?” Seeing Jiang Liu’s expression, it was clear that something was amiss.
Guanyin then glanced at the Treasure-Seeking Mirror in Jiang Liu’s hand before asking.
“Bodhisattva, the mirror in my hand is called the Treasure-Seeking Mirror.
As the name suggests, it’s capable of finding all Dharma Treasures in the world.
I came to the Demon Realm to seek the Fire Tip Spear, and to my surprise, you have a Fire Tip Spear on you as well?” Jiang Liu spoke, giving his answer.
In the midst of speaking, his eyes revealed a look of sudden realization, clearly understanding something.
Her heart skipped a beat!
Jiang Liu’s words made Guanyin inwardly exclaim in dismay.
Originally, when she plotted against Xuanzang, she had secretly stolen Nezha’s Fire Tip Spear, hoping to provoke Nezha into a calamity.
Who could have imagined that the events would develop in a way entirely outside of her expectations?
When she returned to the Palace of the Heavenly King, ready to return the Fire Tip Spear to Nezha, she suddenly heard that Nezha’s Fire Tip Spear had been found.
Guanyin understood that the Fire Tip Spear should have been given to Nezha by Xuanzang.
Therefore, the spear she had prepared to return was never returned and was kept on her person instead.
As time went by, this incident was gradually forgotten.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xuanzang was actually searching for the Fire Tip Spear and had tracked it to the Demon Realm. freewebnoveℓ.com
“Lotus Spell!”
Without waiting for Guanyin’s reply, Jiang Liu lifted his hand, and immediately, a strange light fell from the sky.
It hit the ground, exploding instantly, morphing into a huge lotus pattern, the skill of the Lotus Spell.
This skill, of course, was not aimed at attacking Bodhisattva, but served as a signal.
Indeed, following the deployment of the Lotus Spell, Erlang God and the others who were hiding nearby clearly saw the commotion and quickly approached.
“Guanyin?
It’s you!?” Seeing Guanyin next to Jiang Liu, the surprise was evident on the faces of Nezha and the others.
Guanyin was the one who had stolen the Fire Tip Spear?
This was something none of them had expected.
Judging from the time, Guanyin had not yet been possessed by a demon when the Fire Tip Spear was stolen, right?
Although they were astonished to learn that Guanyin had stolen Nezha’s Fire Tip Spear, looking at the Treasure-Seeking Mirror in Jiang Liu’s hand, with one of its three arrows indeed pointing at Guanyin, made it clear to them.
Nezha understood that the Treasure-Seeking Mirror would not deceive.
“Followers of Buddhism, heh…” Master Leizhen chuckled scornfully, shaking his head to himself.
“Bodhisattva Guanyin, I had originally felt great pity upon hearing that you had fallen into demonhood.
Now it seems that all of this was predestined!” Erlang God Yang Jian took two steps forward, holding his three-point two-edged lance, and stared at Guanyin as he spoke.
The subtext of his words was clearly mocking Guanyin for being hypocritical before her possession, even stooping to the theft of the Fire Tip Spear.
Hearing the words of Erlang God and the others and seeing their gazes, a look of embarrassment flashed across Guanyin’s face.
To deny it?
But with the Treasure-Seeking Mirror in Jiang Liu’s hand providing undeniable evidence, she simply couldn’t refute the claim.
But to admit it?
Such words were utterly impossible for her to voice.
“Guanyin, since you have fallen into demonhood, we are now enemies.
Don’t blame us for being rude!” With a shake of his Fire Tip Spear, Nezha shouted at Guanyin.
Having stolen his Fire Tip Spear?
Even if it were to be returned, it wouldn’t let her off so easily.
As Nezha finished speaking, Master Leizhen and Erlang God didn’t utter a word, but took out their weapons, signaling their stance through their actions.
“Holy Monk, keep your distance!” After taking out their weapons, Nezha turned to Jiang Liu and instructed.
Firstly, because Jiang Liu’s cultivation level was the lowest, in a battle at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortals, he would likely not be able to contribute much with his power.
Secondly, as a disciple of the Buddhist Sect, even if Guanyin had fallen into demonhood, it might be difficult for him to raise his hand against her, right?
So, considering these two points, this battle was not one for Master Xuanzang to intervene in.
His ability to locate Guanyin and even lead her here had already played a significant role.
“Alright!”
Hearing Nezha’s words, Jiang Liu didn’t insist on joining the fight and nodded decisively, retreating quite a bit as he did so.
Master Leizhen, Erlang God, and Nezha.
These three had been very active during the great calamity of deification and were the third-generation disciples of the Interpretation Sect.
Facing Guanyin, naturally, they held no affection.
After all, in a certain sense, Guanyin could be considered a traitor to the Interpretation Sect since she defected and joined Buddhism.
“Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra!”
Standing at a distance, Jiang Liu played his support role to the fullest.
With a flick of his Fire Tip Spear, he cast the Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra skill right onto Nezha.
Among the three, he could only team up with Nezha.
Therefore, when considering contribution points to calculate experience points and money, naturally, helping Nezha achieve a higher contribution was the best.
Feeling the skill of the Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra on him, Nezha clearly sensed an enhancement in his own strength.
An increase of 25% was immense, and Nezha looked down at his hands, feeling an indescribable power surging within him.
Strengthening Body-Protection Spell!
Jiang Liu paid no attention to what Nezha might be thinking at this moment.
He quickly followed up with a flick of his Fire Tip Spear, casting the Strengthening Body-Protection Spell skill onto Erlang God.
Erlang God, being the highest in level and having cultivated the Eighty-Nine Mystical Arts, already boasted astonishingly strong physical defense.
The increase from the Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra would make him well-suited to take on the role of a tank.
Whoo!
After surrounding Guanyin, Master Leizhen didn’t waste words.
His movements were swift.
With a flutter of his wings behind him, his Golden Stick swung out amidst flashes of lightning.
He struck fiercely towards Guanyin, making the first move.
Following Master Leizhen’s lead, Erlang God and Nezha also joined in the attack.
It must be said that, being on level 88, Guanyin completely outclassed the few of them in terms of cultivation level.
Despite the combined assault of the three and even Jiang Liu’s enhanced skills, Guanyin remained completely unfazed, effortlessly deflecting their attacks.
“Truly the once renowned Guanyin Bodhisattva of the Three Realms, such sublime cultivation!” The three teamed up yet failed to gain the slightest advantage, which left Erlang God and the others internally astonished.
Could it be that she really deserved to be regarded as a senior mentor by status?
Bang bang bang!
With her cultivation level at 88, Guanyin was like a tiger among sheep, displaying overwhelming strength against Erlang God and the others.
If not for the fact that Erlang God and the other two coordinated their efforts well, they wouldn’t have lasted long under Guanyin’s hands.
However, even with the three of them teaming up, it wasn’t easy to secure victory; likewise, it wasn’t easy for Guanyin to defeat all three of them.
During the battle, it seemed like a stalemate, with both sides maintaining an evenly matched situation.
However, the skills of Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra and Strengthening Body-Protection Spell lasted for 300 seconds, but their cooldown time was only 60 seconds.
As the battle progressed, Jiang Liu quickly refreshed both Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra and Strengthening Body-Protection Spell skills on Nezha and the others.
Collectively enhancing their attack power and defense ability.
Naturally, when the opportunity arose, Jiang Liu cast a Weakness Talisman skill onto Guanyin, reducing all her attributes by 25%.
As the battle progressed and their strengths shifted, Guanyin, who had held the upper hand, gradually began to fall behind.
“This won’t do, I can’t keep going like this…”
As the battle went on, Guanyin too felt herself slowly losing ground and began to ponder inwardly.
After a moment of silent deliberation, she discreetly swept her gaze over Nezha.
In battle, what’s the best way to break out of a siege?
Clearly, it’s to defeat each opponent in turn.
Among the three besieging her, Nezha’s strength was relatively the weakest, making him the most suitable point to break through.
With this in mind, and shortly watching Master Leizhen’s Golden Stick and Erlang God’s trident descend upon her, she made her move.
She took out her Jade Clean Bottle, pinched a willow branch between her fingers, and pulled it out.
The Jade Clean Bottle was lifted, aimed at both Master Leizhen and Erlang God, and a tremendous suction force emerged, causing their expressions to change drastically.
They immediately summoned all their strength to stabilize their forms.
At the same time, with a flick of the Willow Branch, it coiled around Nezha like a Spirit Snake, binding him tight, rendering him immobile.
Immediately after, Guanyin raised her hand and struck down towards Nezha with her palm.
The invisible palm force was filled with terrifying destructive power.
A level 88 wasn’t for show.
Disaster!
Unexpectedly, the situation took a drastic turn, and the expressions on Erlang God and the others changed dramatically.
“It seems I need to take this seriously; I can’t just go through the motions…” Seeing this, Jiang Liu inwardly sighed.
