Chapter 96 A Mission Unfinished, a Death Before Success!
"You demon monkey! How dare you ambush Senior Brother Subduing Dragon!"
"Stop your arrogance!"
"Give me your life!"
The Arhats immediately joined the performance, filled with righteous indignation, and surrounded the group with their various instruments of power.
But that offensive...
It looked impressive, with dazzling golden light, but in reality, it was all bark and no bite, and it deliberately left many flaws.
However, Erming was already in a bloodthirsty frenzy at this moment.
The anger that had been building up in his chest for three years was now intertwined with the arrogance brought on by today's series of "victories."
How can you tell if the other side is really fighting or just faking it?
In his eyes,
Anything that stands in his way is an enemy preventing him from finding Sister Xiaowu!
"Those who block my way shall die!!"
Erming roared angrily.
No longer conserve mana.
His magical power surged wildly, pouring entirely into the thick cannon barrel on his shoulder, which had been transformed from the Golden Cudgel.
This magical artifact underwent secondary compression.
The golden light emanating from the cannon muzzle became increasingly dazzling.
The oppressive force emanating from it caused the air to distort and emit a humming sound as if it were about to collapse.
"Bang--!!!"
Another Arhat who reacted a little slower was hit head-on by the golden light cannon.
With a scream,
He performed a standard "triple axe in the air".
It flew far away.
It crashed into a cluster of Buddhist pagodas, stirring up clouds of dust.
Erming relied on the speed of the dragon horse
He would fire a shot and then move on to a different location, outmaneuvering the dozen or so Arhats who were chasing him, making them appear utterly pathetic.
Just when the Arhats thought the play was almost over,
Prepare for defeat and retreat.
When Erming was released—
"You wicked creature! How dare you harm my brother—!!!"
A furious shout, like a thunderclap from a clear sky!
A golden light suddenly descended from the sky; it was none other than the gatekeeper Arhat who had overslept and had just rushed over!
He saw from afar that his dozen or so brothers were being "bullied" so "miserably" by a black-haired monkey.
Especially since even the Dragon-Subduing Senior Brother was "blasted away" (meaning he was sent flying).
He was instantly filled with rage.
"Behold my Vajra Subduer Demons—Zen Staff!"
The gatekeeper Arhat poured all his life's cultivation into this single strike.
The staff transformed into a golden bolt of lightning.
It slammed down hard on Erming's head!
"Thump—!!!"
A muffled thud, like striking a broken gong.
Erming's maniacal laughter froze instantly, his pupils contracted sharply, and then he felt the world spin and everything went black...
With a mournful cry, the dragon horse vanished, and Erming plummeted from the sky like a tattered sack, crashing to the ground with a thud.
Half of his head was sunken in.
Fresh blood mixed with some indescribable liquid flowed out, and his breath instantly became extremely weak.
The gatekeeper Arhat landed majestically.
He slammed his staff down, glanced at Erming lying motionless on the ground, and said...
Then, looking around at his stunned fellow disciples, he asked with concern:
"Brothers, are you all alright? I'm late!"
The scene was deathly silent.
The only sounds were the whistling of the wind through the broken railings and... the faint twitching of a corpse with half its head mangled.
The gatekeeper scratched his head, looking puzzled.
Why aren't you all saying anything?
"It's over...it's all over..."
The Arhat who Subdues Dragons held his forehead with one hand, looked up at the sky and sighed, his face filled with utter despair.
"We planned and prepared for everything... how could we have forgotten about this blockhead!"
Erming was also unlucky.
Originally, the body of crystal, bestowed by the Medicine Buddha, could be reassembled even if smashed to pieces.
However, he simply forgot to activate this method.
"Big brother! He's still breathing! This monkey is still alive!"
Just then,
Huanxi Luohan rushed to Erming's "corpse," reached out and touched it, and cried out in surprise and fear.
These words were like a lifeline.
Instantly, all the Arhats regained their hope.
The Arhat Subduing Dragon rushed forward in a single stride.
Looking at Erming's mangled head and barely perceptible breath,
His face twitched violently.
He gritted his teeth,
His face showed an expression of extreme pain, and he trembled as he pulled out his personal storage magic item...
He took out a jade box that emitted a rich medicinal fragrance and a Buddhist glow.
After opening,
Inside was a pill the size of a longan, shimmering with golden light.
It is the sacred healing medicine of Buddhism, the Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Pill!
"Monkey King... Ancestor... Please hold on..."
The Arhat who Subdues Dragons chanted as he spoke.
While carefully, almost cradling it, they stuffed the Great Rejuvenation Pill into Erming's remaining half of his mouth.
And then used magic to help dissolve it.
The elixir melts instantly upon entering the mouth.
The powerful and pure medicinal energy and the vitality of Buddhism instantly surged into Erming's limbs and bones.
Under the flowing golden light, his shattered head began to heal and grow at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The dent bulged up, the wound healed, and new hair grew...
In a few breaths,
Apart from his still somewhat pale face, Erming's head had miraculously recovered!
"Um...?"
Erming opened his eyes blankly, his gaze empty for a few seconds before slowly focusing.
"What...what happened to me? I think I just...took a nap? And I had a nightmare about my head being smashed..."
Upon seeing Erming revived, the eighteen Arhats who had formed a circle around him reacted as if struck by lightning.
With a "whoosh," they all jumped back several feet.
His face instantly changed to an expression of "horror", "horrified" and "disbelief".
"Hey! This...this monkey demon is incredibly powerful!"
The Joyful Arhat reacted the fastest; his eyes darted around, and he suddenly slapped his thigh, shouting in an exaggerated tone,
"He actually managed to break through in the midst of a life-or-death battle! His strength has increased dramatically! We... we are definitely no match for him!"
"That's right! This monkey is ferocious and cannot be defeated by force!"
"Quickly! Go and report to the Bodhisattva, and ask the Bodhisattva to subdue the demon!"
The other Arhats immediately understood and loudly echoed, their expressions increasingly "terrified".
They dared not make a move again.
That's too dangerous!
If something goes wrong again, and the sage blames us, who can bear the consequences?
"withdraw!"
Someone shouted, and the eighteen Arhats instantly scattered like birds!
Erming scratched his head in confusion.
The newly grown skin feels quite nice.
But then he felt the magical power within his body was far more powerful and refined than before, and he was only one step away from becoming a Golden Immortal.
"Huh? My cultivation level... seems to have really improved?"
"Could it be... that I really am a genius? That I can break through even in battle?"
The more he thought about it, the more sense it made. The strange feeling he had just experienced must have been caused by a breakthrough in the heat of battle!
"Hahaha!"
"Lingshan! It truly is my blessed land!"
Erming laughed heartily, hands on his hips.
The last vestiges of awe vanished, replaced by boundless confidence.
He shouldered the golden cudgel.
spirited,
Once again, they strode forward toward the radiant Great Thunderclap Temple!
"Tang San, your grandpa Ape has become stronger again!"
"Your death is nigh!"
Douluo Continent, the core of the Star Dou Great Forest.
When they saw that Erming was so arrogant and ignorant, actually trying to take on the sacred Buddhist site by himself,
Da Ming's heart leaped into his throat!
"Erming! That's Mount Ling! The heartland of Buddhism! How could you be so reckless!"
Da Ming was so anxious that he thrashed about in the Lake of Life, his enormous body creating towering waves.
