Chapter 2295: Chapter 165: Magical Combat, Part 2

Whoosh—

Almost at the same moment, he felt a piercing chill sweeping past his ears. Before he could react, half of his head was shattered by a great force!

Only one eye was left, wide open, staring at the figure revealed in front of him, a green-robed Taoist extending a hand, just half a foot away.

A chill that made him feel suffocated surged in his heart, leaving him fearful!

“Just, just a little more!”

“Just a little more, and I would have died here!”

Opposite him, Wang Ba slowly withdrew his hand with some regret.

If the opponent hadn’t spoken out to surrender, he would have killed him right there. But now, the opponent had spoken, and so loudly that it was hard for Wang Ba to pretend he hadn’t heard.

With little interest, he turned and stretched out his hand, casually summoning back the Earth Yellow Treasure Bead left behind by the Yellow-skinned Bodhisattva nearby.

Fire Lotus Bodhisattva’s face alternated between shades of blue and black, but in the end, he dared not say anything further. He put away the Venerable Victory Banner, flew back among the monks, and bowed his head in shame in front of the Great Bodhisattva:

“Great Bodhisattva, on this occasion, Wisdom Grateful lacked the ability, and I am willing to accept punishment.”

The Eastern Great Bodhisattva looked on with compassion, observing the Fire Lotus Bodhisattva before him, with only half a head left, Demonic Qi entwined with the Golden Body, and slowly nodded:

“Your merit is lacking; go and receive your punishment.”

He paused briefly, then looked towards the monks on both sides, speaking softly:

“Who among you can battle this man?”

The Bodhisattvas and Arhats exchanged looks.

Among the Bodhisattvas, Fire Lotus Bodhisattva’s strength and status were above that of the Yellow-skinned Bodhisattva. With even him defeated so effortlessly, those stronger than him couldn’t help but be anxious.

It was at this moment that a deep voice sounded not far off to the left:

“Wisdom Truth is willing to go.”

The Eastern Great Bodhisattva turned slightly, seeing a slender monk sitting on a black, single-horned ox, his face sorrowful. The Bodhisattva nodded in relief:

“Good.”

The monks, seeing this person volunteering, couldn’t help but show respect, seemingly holding him in high regard.

At the same time, on Wang Ba’s side, the concerned voice of the purple-robed youth reached his ears:

“Taoist Friend Taiyi, having fought two Bodhisattvas consecutively, if you are fatigued, feel free to retreat and rest.”

Wang Ba pondered for a moment and asked back:

“How many Cloud Beads did we earn from the last two battles?”

The purple-robed youth was taken aback, not expecting Wang Ba to ask this question. After a moment’s hesitation, he quickly reported a number:

“These two Bodhisattvas are not ordinary figures, so the Cloud Beads earned are not as before, approximately four billion three hundred million.”

“Four billion…”

Wang Ba’s heart leapt; it seemed likely that the eight billion gap could quickly be closed, possibly even earning extra to exchange for other items.

He said immediately:

“Let’s observe first.”

If it’s still of the same level as the Fire Lotus Bodhisattva before, there would be no need to worry; if a truly formidable opponent appears, substitution would be necessary, as risking too much for some Cloud Beads wouldn’t be wise.

The purple-robed youth felt somewhat reassured at his words.

In the Cloud Sky Realm, including those who came to support, the number of middle-stage Crossing Tribulation cultivators was neither large nor small, but as flawless as Wang Ba couldn’t be found anywhere.

One could say that Wang Ba was the most suitable person right now in the Cloud Sky Realm to compete in magical combat with the Supreme True Buddha.

If even Wang Ba were to step off, then there would be no need for further competition, just waiting for the Supreme True Buddha’s encirclement to close in again would suffice.

While conveying messages back and forth.

Wang Ba suddenly felt something and slightly turned his head to look.

Only to see the void tearing apart, a colossal crimson Buddhist image emerging from within, stepping out slowly.

The statue was as large as half of a Domain, with red skin and crimson hair, three heads and six arms, holding various treasures, its eyes mostly white with little black, with a fierce grin, sitting atop a black rhinoceros, resembling a divine beast more than a Bodhisattva.

Wang Ba’s gaze focused slightly at this sight.

In his ear, the purple-robed youth’s delicate voice came with a hint of gravity:

“Taoist Friend Taiyi, be cautious; this being is called ‘Wisdom Truth,’ having cultivated such a special Dharma Aspect, vast and powerful, claiming the title of ‘Leader among Ten Bodhisattvas’ in the Bodhisattva Realm, master of both offense and defense, wielding six top-grade Dao Treasures in its hands, accompanied by an Eighth Tier middle-grade divine beast, robust both near and far, and even took a full blow from a late-stage Crossing Tribulation cultivator before, injured but not dead…”

The voice suddenly paused.

The crimson statue had already mounted the black rhinoceros, stepping through the void.

Where it passed, the void trembled!

Holding six Dao Treasures, its three heads and six eyes seemed both angry and wrathful.

On the sharp horn of the black rhinoceros, even more, black light converged, adhering to the rules, nothing could withstand it!

Even across the Realm Membrane, many cultivators within the Taoist Field felt as if they were in its path, their hearts couldn’t help but shudder.

In the Outer Realm Void, Wang Ba remained composed, his eyes slowly narrowing.

He appeared entirely unguarded, as if frozen in shock in the path of the black rhinoceros.

In the track of the black rhinoceros’ charge, seeing it approaching rapidly, he still didn’t budge.

Everyone’s hearts were suddenly wrenched!
