Chapter 99 Go quickly and invite the Heavenly Emperor! [Please continue reading]
However,
When he saw clearly the young monk beside the Moonlight Bodhisattva with his hands clasped together and his eyes lowered.
"Tang San—!!!"
The pent-up anger erupted like a volcano, instantly shattering the brief calm!
"You despicable, shameless hypocrite! Give me back Sister Xiaowu—!!!"
Erming's eyes widened in horror, and the metal cannon muzzle on his shoulder suddenly flashed a blinding red light.
Terrifying energy rapidly converged and compressed within it.
It's about to burst forth!
"Benefactor Yuan! Hold your hand! Calm your rage!"
Seeing this, the Moonlight Bodhisattva quickly spoke, her voice gentle and calm, attempting to soothe the tyrannical Erming.
"The Buddha Maitreya specially sent this humble monk and the Tripitaka Master to resolve this grievance and clear up the misunderstanding with you."
"Dissolve?" The red light from the Erming cannon muzzle dimmed slightly, but it remained firmly locked onto Tang San, its voice icy.
How to resolve this?
Unless you return Sister Xiaowu to me unharmed!
Then hand this treacherous villain over to me to deal with!
otherwise,
Don't blame me for blowing up your Great Thunderclap Temple with a single cannon shot!
"Hmph! You demon monkey, Buddha is merciful and compassionate!"
I gave you a chance to lay down your weapons and become a Buddha, yet you are so stubborn and ungrateful!
Tang San felt a chill run down his spine under Er Ming's predatory gaze.
Knowing there was no room for easing tensions,
He was both anxious and angry, fearing that the Bodhisattva might actually be swayed.
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he immediately turned to the Moonlight Bodhisattva, speaking with righteous indignation:
"Bodhisattva, this fiend is stubborn and unruly, and its ferocity is hard to tame. We beg you, Bodhisattva, to use your divine powers to subdue this demon, so as to uphold the Dharma of our Buddhist sect and restore the purity of Mount Ling!"
His words sounded very high-sounding.
In reality, it harbors malicious intentions.
I only want to use the power of the Moonlight Bodhisattva to completely eliminate Erming, this major threat.
Seeing that Erming was showing signs of going berserk again, the Moonlight Bodhisattva frowned slightly.
Turning to Tang San, he asked in a calm yet meaningful tone:
"Master Sanzang, where is that benefactor Xiao Wu now?"
Tang San felt a chill run down his spine.
His eyes flickered, and he mumbled:
"That female benefactor... was disturbed by this demonic monkey earlier."
I am restless and uneasy.
This humble monk has temporarily placed her in a safe and quiet place to prevent her from being frightened further.
"Bullshit! Xiao Wu and I are deeply in love."
She was living a wonderful life deep in the mountains! It was you who forcibly kidnapped her!
Tang San! I will never let you get away with this!
Erming was even more furious upon hearing this.
Moonlight Bodhisattva waved her hand and continued speaking to Tang San:
"In that case, the female benefactor is truly innocent."
To avoid further trouble, it would be best to temporarily bring her to Mount Ling and place her under the care of our Buddhist community; that would be the safest course of action."
Tang San was overjoyed upon hearing this.
He thought that the Moonlight Bodhisattva was looking for an excuse to protect him, after all, he was a disciple of the Sage Zhunti.
Put Xiao Wu in Ling Mountain? Wouldn't that be the same as putting her right under our noses?
Moonlight Bodhisattva then looked at Erming.
Changing the subject:
"As for you, you impudent monkey! You trespassed into the sacred land of Mount Ling, injured the Dharma protectors, Arhats, and monks, and disturbed the pure Buddhist land. What crime should you be punished for?!"
Tang San believed that the Bodhisattva should uphold justice and enforce the law.
Overjoyed, he quickly interjected:
"According to the precepts of Buddhism, such behavior deserves to be cast into the Avici Hell, never to be reborn!"
Moonlight Bodhisattva shook her head slightly:
"There's no need for the Avici Hell."
The sacred Ling Mountain is in dire need of a guardian to protect its gates.
"Then I will punish you... by making you guard Mount Ling for one hundred years, as a warning to others."
Listening to the two of them singing in unison, treating him as if he didn't exist,
Not only did they detain Xiao Wu, but they also convicted themselves and punished them by making them watchdogs.
Erming could no longer contain his rage!
"Go to hell, you bald monk!"
You think you can detain Sister Xiaowu?!
You dare to convict me?!
Gatekeeper?!
I told you to guard the door—!
He roared, pouring all his boiling magical power into the Titan Sky Cannon on his shoulder!
"boom--!!!"
A much thicker and more intense golden-red beam of light tore through the air and struck Tang San's chest with lightning speed!
"puff--!"
Tang San had no time to mount any effective defense.
He felt a devastating force strike him, and the protective Buddhist light around him shattered instantly.
A sharp pain shot through my chest, and blood gushed out.
He was sent flying backwards like a kite with a broken string!
Three days ago,
This monkey was still an ant that he could easily trample under his feet!
Three days!
Just three days!
How could he be so strong?!
"Bodhisattva, save me—!!!"
He was in mid-air, screaming in terror.
However, what happened next left him speechless.
The Moon Bodhisattva's expression suddenly changed.
It seems they wanted to intervene.
But Erming's cannon had already turned around again, and another shell whistled out!
"boom--!"
This shot,
It struck precisely at the bright, round moon image behind the Moon Bodhisattva!
"Snap!"
A crisp cracking sound echoed in all directions!
The full, bright moon was blasted apart by this cannon fire, its light scattering wildly.
Cracks have appeared!
The Moonlight Bodhisattva let out a perfectly timed muffled groan, his face displaying an expression of "surprise and anger" combined with "disbelief."
As if intimidated by Erming's "fierce power,"
They didn't linger any longer.
A wisp of moonlight transformed into a stream of light.
Without looking back, they fled in panic toward the Great Thunder Temple.
"Bodhisattva...you..."
Tang San stared blankly at the fleeing Bodhisattva, completely bewildered.
Then look at Erming's cannon, which he has turned around.
It was so terrifying that even the dead were scared away!
Erming grinned menacingly: "Tang San, your death is near!"
The red light from the cannon muzzle expanded rapidly!
At this critical moment, the fleeing Bodhisattva suddenly remembered that he seemed to have left something behind.
A white silk ribbon was drawn.
In the blink of an eye, it wrapped around Tang San's waist and coiled back like a serpent.
Erming watched as Moonlight Bodhisattva and Tang San fled into the Great Thunderclap Temple.
Furious
But the last bit of concern in my heart also vanished.
"You think you can punish me?! Hahahaha!"
Even the Bodhisattva was frightened away by him! Who on Mount Ling can stop him now?!
The cannon barrel on Erming's shoulder once again gleamed.
"Boom—!"
The third shot!
This shot wasn't aimed at anyone in particular, but rather its fury was directed at the huge plaque bearing the four ancient characters "Da Leiyin Temple"!
"Clang—Crack!"
The plaque was blasted into pieces, turning into a shower of golden light that vanished without a trace.
"Oh no! Oh no!"
"That demon monkey has broken in—!!!"
The Moonlight Bodhisattva's panicked cries echoed into the Great Thunderclap Temple.
The once solemn and dignified hall was instantly thrown into an uproar!
"What? Even the Moonlight Bodhisattva has been defeated?!"
"This demon monkey is so ferocious?!"
"..."
And at that moment,
Riding a dragon horse, Erming stepped over the shattered remains of the plaque and stormed into this highest sacred Buddhist site!
A man carrying a giant cannon on his shoulder, exuding a murderous aura.
Like a victorious general.
Facing the majestic and awe-inspiring Buddhas filling the sky, Erming showed no fear; instead, he grinned maliciously.
"A bunch of hypocritical, sanctimonious clay figures!"
"Today, watch me smash this dilapidated temple!"
He took a deep breath and activated his supernatural powers once more.
"A stampede of ten thousand horses—!!!"
He pointed his golden cudgel to the sky,
The dragon-horse beneath him reared up and let out a neigh that resounded through the sky!
"Boom—!!!"
Like thunder from the heavens, or the raging tide of the Qiantang River!
Countless phantom images of "Pegasus" formed from raging demonic power appeared out of thin air in the main hall!
These celestial horses are not physical entities.
Yet, it charged and trampled with terrifying force, rampaging through the hall!
They overturned the scripture table, trampled the prayer cushions, and scattered the incense burner.
The originally neat and solemn arrangement was turned into a complete mess!
The Buddha's light and demonic energy were mixed together.
The chanting of Buddhist hymns was drowned out by the screams, and the once peaceful Great Thunder Temple was instantly transformed into a chaotic battlefield.
"The demon monkey is too powerful! We cannot defeat him by force!"
"Protect Buddha! Retreat immediately!"
Moonlight Bodhisattva's face turned pale, and she screamed in a shrill voice.
Seated serenely on the central lotus throne, the ever-smiling Maitreya Buddha...
He could no longer maintain that eternally warm smile; his chubby face was filled with "horror."
Surrounded by bodhisattvas and arhats, he hastily rose and retreated.
While shouting at the top of his lungs:
"Go to the Heavenly Court quickly and ask the Heavenly Emperor to subdue the demon!"
