“Whoosh!”
Lin Xiao threw another punch with chaotic fist energy, blasting towards his opponent.
“Pfft!”
This time, the body of the Ji family’s eighth-level Martial Emperor was directly pierced with countless holes.
One eighth-level Martial Emperor from the Ji family fell just like that!
“Lin Xiao, you will die a horrible death!”
Another eighth-level Martial Emperor from the Ji family roared in fury. His power erupted, injuring the eighth-level Martial Emperor elder from the Azure Dragon Gate.
The Azure Dragon Gate elder gritted his teeth, fighting with everything he had to entangle the enemy and prevent any chance of escape.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Seeing the balance of power shift, several golden-bodied experts who had not suffered heavy injuries immediately fled towards the outskirts.
At that moment, the bald fatty surprisingly abandoned the opponent he had wounded. His figure flashed, moving at extreme speed as he chased after the fleeing golden-bodied experts.
At the same time, he shouted loudly, “You lot deal with that fellow. This poor monk will first go and increase his strength!”
Lin Xiao frowned.
Though reluctant, he still attacked the eighth-level loose cultivator Martial Emperor, not even having time to collect the storage ring from the Ji family’s eighth-level Martial Emperor.
If the enemy escaped, given the speed of an eighth-level Martial Emperor, news would soon spread far and wide. Trouble would quickly find him.
Therefore, he had no choice but to deal with that loose cultivator.
Bi Zhuang also understood the gravity of the situation. He unleashed extreme speed, erupting with cross-tier combat strength to besiege the loose cultivator alongside the others.
“Rip!”
Tens of miles away, the bald fatty closed in on a golden-bodied expert. His head transformed into a beast’s head and, with a few crunching bites, he swallowed the opponent’s entire golden body. Those who witnessed it felt their scalps go numb.
The other fleeing experts, especially, sped up even more desperately.
Yet the bald fatty was faster. After devouring one, he pursued another golden-bodied expert.
With his overwhelming strength, he easily captured and swallowed the next one.
By this time, several golden-bodied experts in other directions had already vanished from sight.
Suddenly, however, a dazzling burst of Buddhist light radiated from the bald fatty’s body.
As though some mysterious power had been born, within moments the golden-bodied experts who had escaped inexplicably flew back, attacking the bald fatty.
Everyone who still possessed a golden body, Lin Xiao included, felt a chill in their hearts.
There was definitely something wrong with that golden body!
Otherwise, those who had fled would never return.
Lin Xiao quietly breathed a slight sigh of relief. Because he possessed the Nine Nether Demon Body, he had directly refined the Buddhist light.
Otherwise, who knew what troubles might have arisen later.
Those who had just escaped the attacks of the hundred-zhang golden Buddha instantly felt utter despair.
Several people simply charged at the bald fatty in desperation.
Of course, although the hundred-zhang golden Buddha was no longer being actively controlled by the fatty, it seemed to possess its own battle consciousness. It specifically targeted everyone except those from the Azure Dragon Gate, especially the Ji family members.
Its gigantic palm slammed down. This time, several already-injured people failed to dodge and were directly smashed to death.
Streams of Buddhist light burst from the corpses of those with golden bodies, shooting towards the bald fatty and being absorbed by him. The Buddhist light on his body grew even more brilliant.
Meanwhile, the bald fatty continued his devouring battle against the remaining golden-bodied experts.
Battles in other areas raged on with great intensity.
Soon afterwards, Lin Xiao and Bi Zhuang killed the loose cultivator.
They then turned their attacks on the remaining eighth-level Martial Emperor from the Ji family.
Originally, the Ji family’s seventh-level Martial Emperors and some sixth-level ones wanted to provide aid, but powerful experts from the Azure Dragon Gate erupted with strength and blocked their respective opponents.
The hundred-zhang golden Buddha even abandoned attacking the other golden-bodied experts and focused solely on the Ji family members.
The surviving Ji family members could not offer any assistance. They could barely protect themselves.
Those golden-bodied experts who were no longer targeted quickly fled outwards.
However, they did not get far. After the bald fatty devoured a few more, he somehow summoned others back, just as before.
They attacked, were devoured, and the cycle repeated.
On Lin Xiao’s side, after fighting a while longer, under the combined assault of three people, the golden-bodied elder from the Ji family suffered continuous heavy injuries and was nearly beaten to death.
“The Ji family will make you pay a terrible price!” the eighth-level Martial Emperor roared unwillingly.
“Rip!”
Lin Xiao, now gripping the Yaoguang Broken Sword, was about to deliver the killing blow when a sudden force yanked the Ji family elder away, pulling him rapidly towards the bald fatty.
The bald fatty’s long beastly maw snapped fiercely at the elder.
“No!!!” the Ji family eighth-level Martial Emperor cried out in terror, only to be crunched several times and swallowed whole by the beast-headed fatty.
Now only the eighth-level Martial Emperor from the Sacred Heaven Gate remained.
Before Lin Xiao and the others could act, Leng Rong seized the opening in the terrified man’s defence and severed his neck with a single sword strike. His head flew off, and he died on the spot.
With the eighth-level Martial Emperors gone, in just a short while Lin Xiao, the bald fatty, and the rest cleared out everyone else present.
In the end, only Lin Xiao, the forces from the Azure Dragon Gate, and that bald fatty remained.
Some people on the periphery were still fighting the Buddha statues.
However, Lin Xiao was not worried about their strength.
What he should truly worry about was the bald fatty right in front of them.
Everyone warily watched the bald fatty and the hundred-zhang golden Buddha.
At that moment, the hundred-zhang golden Buddha stopped moving. The fatty stood to the side, once again assuming a kindly and humble appearance. He smiled at Lin Xiao and the others, saying, “Everyone, there is no need to worry. This poor monk keeps his word and naturally will not raise a hand against you.”
Hearing this, Lin Xiao and the people from the Azure Dragon Gate relaxed slightly, but they did not lower their guard completely.
“What exactly is going on with that Buddhist light?” Leng Rong could not help stepping forward to ask.
The changes with this Buddhist light were too great. If it was not removed, the fatty could drag him over at any moment.
The bald fatty chuckled and said, “Everyone, this Buddhist light was a trap from the very beginning. The person who obtains the true inheritance can draw all the others to him and turn them into his food.”
“Of course, if the one who obtained the true inheritance dies in battle, the inheritance and all the Buddhist light will transfer to the victor.”
Hearing this, Leng Rong, Bi Zhuang, and the others frowned.
“However, this poor monk possesses extraordinary talent and profound mastery of the Buddhist path. I do have a method to extract the Buddhist light from your bodies,” the bald fatty continued, looking humble, yet not forgetting to praise himself while speaking.
“How would you extract it?” Bi Zhuang asked warily, staring at the bald fatty.
Leng Rong and the people from the Azure Dragon Gate also grew more vigilant.
The more harmless this bald fatty appeared, the more likely he was to be up to no good.
