Chapter 331: Chapter 278: Died again, this time it’s Manjushri!

The King of Wuji took this opportunity to stand up and loudly addressed his officials.

Upon hearing this,

Although the officials were still afraid, they gained some confidence, especially seeing the Taoist by their Majesty’s side, their fear completely dissipated.

As expected of a king, he had a firm grasp on people’s hearts. With just a single sentence, he managed to reestablish his authority and majesty.

This moment,

As if sensing something,

Daoist priest Xuanqing raised an eyebrow, the corner of his mouth slightly curved upward. He said to the King of Wuji, “Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune, I am surprised that Your Majesty has accomplished this.”

“I… it’s time for me to leave.”

“Daoist Priest…?”

The King of Wuji seemed to want to say something, but before he could speak, he discovered that Xuanqing’s figure had already disappeared inside the main hall.

Disappearing along with Xuanqing was the Lion Boar Monster tied up on the ground.

Over here,

The Lion Boar Monster was tied up by the duster, with sparks and electricity all around it, and its flesh was painfully scraped by the Gang Wind.

However, in its heart, a glimmer of hope for survival emerged.

Since Daoist Xuanqing didn’t kill it on the spot but chose to capture it instead, he could be concerned about the Manjushri Bodhisattva backing the monster.’

It seemed… rumors can’t always be trusted!

With this thought,

The Lion Boar Monster carefully ventured to say,

Superior… superior immortal, this little demon knows its wrongs. This little demon is Manjushri Bodhisattva’s mount. If you let me go, I promise not to report you!”

Xuanqing stopped in his tracks.

Seeing this,

The Lion Boar Monster was overjoyed. It thought that its words had worked and that the widespread reputation of Daoist Xuanqing wasn’t that extraordinary after all. At least, he was still afraid of Sir Manjushri.

Of course,

Smart people don’t push their luck unnecessarily.

It didn’t become arrogant and domineering as a result; instead, it spoke more gently and persuasively:

“Daoist Priest Xuanqing, actually… this little demon admires you very much. If you let me go, then…”

“Ah~”

Before it could finish speaking, it let out a howl of agony.

“Shut up!”

Xuanqing shouted in rebuke, then he looked at a lucky cloud not far away.

“Tsk, tsk~ Manjushri Bodhisattva, you’ve been following me for a while now. If you don’t come out, this little Lion Boar Monster will not survive!”

With that,

He manipulated the duster in his hand and gradually increased the binding force.

“Ah-., heh,” the Lion Boar Monster’s face turned from green to purple, and it visibly weakened in an instant.

“Sir… save… save me!” The Lion Boar Monster’s eyes were filled with hope, hoping for his master to save him.

“Amitabha!”

A divine Sanskrit Chant appeared.

Right after,

Flowers rained from the sky and golden lotuses sprouted from the ground. Countless golden ‘ft’ characters floated in the air, as though they had entered a Buddhist realm.

It had to be said,

There was one common trait among those in the Shimen sect. When they made an appearance, they liked to create special effects, combining both sound and light effects.

“Get a little closer!”

Xuanqing muttered silently in his heart.

As soon as Manjushri Bodhisattva approached, he would let him know the power of the Five Qi Chaoyuan Stage’s self-destruction.

That’s right.

The reason he delayed so long in the royal palace was not to show off in front of those mortals,

It was merely to draw out the Manjushri behind the Lion Boar Monster and then move to the outskirts for a fireworks feast.

“Daoist Xuanqing, you… have crossed the line!” Manjushri rode on a Buddhist cloud, his voice melodious and sacred.

“Hehe, I have come here only to present you with an opportunity!” Xuanqing’s face was filled with a bright smile.

“By the way, this opportunity is from the Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, who has entrusted me to deliver it to you!”

While speaking,

The duster in his hand had already released the Lion Boar Monster.

With a flicker of thought, he put the duster into his backpack since, after self-destructing, there was a chance that the equipment on his body would explode, it would be safer to store it in the backpack.

An opportunity?

And it was an opportunity given by Guanyin herself?

Manjushri Bodhisattva was taken aback.

At the very moment when he was extremely puzzled, wondering the purpose behind Daoist Xuanqing’s capturing the Lion Boar Monster and deliberately luring him out with all those inexplicable words,

It exploded!

Completely unexpectedly, it blew up.

The incredibly immense energy fluctuation distorted the entire space. In such a situation, it would be impossible to perform spatial jumps, let alone escape in the ordinary sense.

Seeing this scene,

Manjushri Bodhisattva’s face changed suddenly, his calm demeanor vanished, and he could no longer maintain his composure.

“You… are mad!”

On the side,

As the Lion Boar Monster appeared puzzled over why its master was acting so distressed,

The next moment,

The spatial collapse caused by the explosion swallowed it completely. In an instant, it was devoured by the tearing force brought on by the collapse.

Before the power of cause and effect could take effect, the beast was annihilated solely by the tearing sensation that came with the collapsed space. “Dammit!”

Seeing his mount silently annihilated like that…

Manjushri Bodhisattva couldn’t help but curse.

However, no matter how angry he was, it wouldn’t help at the moment. He had to escape this space immediately; otherwise, even if he could withstand the tearing force of the spatial collapse, he couldn’t withstand the immense disaster aura that would destroy the world.

Unfortunately,

Not everyone was as decisive as Guanyin. At least, Manjushri Bodhisattva hesitated, and it was precisely this hesitation that led him to face a huge catastrophe!

In an instant,

The cracks from the spatial collapse approached Manjushri, swallowing him in their wake.

“This is bad!”

Manjushri Bodhisattva’s body trembled as he felt the bizarre and terrifying disaster aura, as though he was a frightened soul..
