Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2275: 159: Wielding the Sword (Part 2)
Previously on Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant...
The Primordial Spirit endured agonizing torment!
Despite her composed appearance, a ruthless streak resided within her nature. Ignoring the fact that her own flesh had been sliced, she unleashed a flying dagger Dao Treasure, severing one of the arms of the Three-Eyed Bodhisattva in retaliation!
Wang Ba arrived in a flash, sweeping the two severed portions of True Man Nie’s body into his sleeve for protection.
The Three-Eyed Bodhisattva remained savage; even with a missing limb, he swung the Vajra Sword in a silent, treacherous strike at Wang Ba’s back!
However, the blow was intercepted by a sudden surge of Earth Yellow Treasure Light!
The Vajra Sword vibrated violently, seemingly recoiling from the sheer force of the rebound.
The Three-Eyed Bodhisattva felt a secret surge of alarm.
Having been struck, Wang Ba spun his head around. His gaze was piercing, filled with a rare and terrifying ferocity that caused even the Three-Eyed Bodhisattva to instinctively pull back his neck.
Once he recovered from the shock, the Three-Eyed Bodhisattva was consumed by shame and fury, but Wang Ba had already flickered away, reappearing instantly beside True Man Ba.
The Bodhisattva confronting True Man Ba was different from the others, possessing a wide, stout frame and a complexion entirely azure in hue. With a harelip, protruding tusks, and beast-like pupils, he would have looked more like a demon than a Bodhisattva if not for his golden inscriptions and radiant Buddha light.
At that moment, seeing Wang Ba repel ten Arhats and two Bodhisattvas in mere seconds—as if strolling through a deserted field—a shiver of dread crawled into his heart. He realized the figure from the distance had already closed the gap, arriving in just a few breaths.
He immediately steeled his heart!
Clutching a treasure mountain and banking on the strength of his Golden Body, he endured True Man Ba’s counter-offensive, using that momentum to hurl the treasure mountain directly at the approaching Wang Ba!
Echoing with Buddhist chants, the treasure mountain seemed to contain an entire world as it crashed down, locking onto fate itself to ensure there was no path for escape!
Wang Ba’s silhouette paused for a brief second before a look of grim determination crossed his features!
Striding through the void without hesitation, he faced the descending mountain. A massive phantom of a turtle-snake Alien Beast materialized around him; its four limbs stomped the vacuum, its shell bristled with jagged spikes, and the snake head let out a roar toward the heavens!
The treasure mountain fell, yet it was stopped by sheer force, hanging suspended in mid-air.
Bodhisattva Qinglan’s expression tightened as his eyes bulged, desperately trying to force the treasure mountain downward.
But in the following heartbeat, the phantom of a loach shimmered across Wang Ba’s skin. He slipped effortlessly past the side of the mountain, rendering Bodhisattva Qinglan’s massive strength useless.
In that fleeting window where the old strength had faded and new strength had yet to rise.
Wang Ba had already surged past Bodhisattva Qinglan. Without uttering a word, he flicked his sleeve and tucked True Man Ba into his storage pouch.
While the description takes time, these events unfolded in the blink of an eye.
By bypassing three Bodhisattvas, Wang Ba had finally succeeded in gathering all the cultivators who accompanied him into his sleeve.
Right at that moment, over a dozen overwhelming streaks of Demonic Qi arrived on the scene!
A familiar, authoritative roar echoed from the distance:
“Wizard, cease your insolence! All Taoist Masters, aid me in capturing and executing this criminal!”
“By order of the Hell Path Master!”
Wang Ba’s frame trembled upon hearing that voice. He intended to trigger the Great Celestial Escape Divine Skill to flee, yet he flickered to dodge a coordinated strike from Bodhisattva Qinglan, the Three-Eyed Bodhisattva, and the Female Bodhisattva, unable to stop himself from looking back.
Among the dozen or so surging demonic figures, the leader possessed a handsome but pale face. Wearing a cold look and clad in magnificent yellow demonic armor, he stood surrounded by demons, radiating a heroic aura.
“Junior Brother?!”
Wang Ba’s heart skipped a beat!
The figure leading this demonic battalion was none other than his Junior Brother, Shen Fu, whom he had only met briefly at the Reclining Buddha before their forced separation!
Yet, though Wang Ba had not altered his face or hidden his Cultivation aura, Shen Fu stood distantly in the void, looking upon him with an indifferent gaze, as if staring at a total stranger or a bitter foe.
Sensing the other man's cold detachment, an ominous feeling gripped Wang Ba’s heart!
That look was identical to the cultivators he had seen earlier, those who had been submerged in the Six Paths Pond Water within the Reincarnation Six Paths.
“Is it possible that Junior Brother has also…”
As that thought took hold, Wang Ba’s face darkened, feeling a true sense of crisis for the first time!
Meanwhile, Bodhisattva Qinglan resumed the chase, silently launching the treasure mountain from the rear!
The Female Bodhisattva stood at a distance, brandishing an arm ring that whirled like a spinning wheel, its sharp spikes aimed directly at Wang Ba.
At the same time, the Three-Eyed Bodhisattva, having regenerated his arm, swung the Vajra Sword down in a fit of rage!
The three Bodhisattvas united their strength once more. Unlike their previous disorganized efforts, they now acted in concert, utilizing their combat experience to manifest a ‘卍’ character that flew out to seal the surrounding void.
“The Heaven and Earth Net is cast; you have no way out!”
Bodhisattva Qinglan let out a crazed laugh.
Nearby, the dozen demonic shadows—along with the ten Arhats who had shed their shattered Vajra forms to reveal their true demon shapes—were also closing in under Shen Fu’s command!
Wang Ba’s eyes swept across his surroundings, his expression turning solemn for the first time.
His focus sharpened, eventually settling on the fast-approaching, emotionless Shen Fu.
Within his sleeve, a sword scabbard slid quietly into his palm.
“As long as there is no Great Bodhisattva…”
Earth Yellow Treasure Light began to glow softly around his body.
“Then a fight is still possible!”
Whoosh—
Bodhisattva Qinglan’s pupils contracted!
Even under the combined pressure of three Bodhisattvas, Wang Ba’s figure vanished instantly!
“That same movement technique from before?!”
“No, that’s impossible, it's too fast!”
This sector of the void had been locked down; shattering such a seal required a massive gap in power, yet the enemy clearly hadn't reached that level of Cultivation.
