Chapter 2836: Knowing Full Well

re anything that could lead people astray and cause them to lose their way If so, how can you guarantee that we two won't get lost" Lu Xia Tian asked."This is easy, you humans have a saying, what's it...The severed arm once again manifested as a three-headed, six-armed fire person. Twelve pillars of profound fire swirled around this fire person, crisscrossing each other. Above its head, a golden crow perched on the sun. Wherever it passed, a sea of fire erupted, clouds transformed into mist, and the earth steamed, becoming molten lava that churned violently.

Thirty-six bronze figures stood with their feet planted on the positions of the celestial stars, with celestial beings aiding them from the sidelines. The monk’s staff clashed with the three-headed, six-armed flame being like lightning strikes. The flame being, transformed from a severed limb, only wielded arms reduced to the simplest strokes: a horizontal line, a vertical line, and a slash. Every concise movement seemed to merge with heaven and earth, existing like the very laws of nature.

Boom boom boom… The thirty-six bronze men and Ming’e's attacks were like thunderclaps. But every attack was repelled by the Fireman's simple strike.

The Fireman sometimes had three heads and six arms, sometimes split into three, or transformed into thirty-six copper men, clashing frequently with the evil Lei Seng Ming.

Twelve Vermilion Fire Pillars sealed off the surrounding airspace. The Heaven's Mandate Domain of Thirty-Six Bronze Men and the Ming-E's Thunder Domain were clashing violently.

At this time, the Ghost Ant King had already led the Void Devouring Ghost Ants to turn away to other areas of the Buddhist sect. The thousands of monks chanting the Mind-Motion Golden Sun Mantra also followed suit under the cover of Ming'e and others.

“Ghost Ant King, why would you collude with the Crimson Moon Desert and be enemies with my Buddhist sect” A figure of a Buddha appeared in the void. As soon as this Buddha image appeared in the void, there was a flash of lightning. However, this lightning was not like the wave of power from Ming Evil's previous attack, but rather like a heavenly tribulation descending, causing the Void-Devouring Ghost Ant swarm to stir.

“A great cultivator of the Buddhist sect during a tribulation period! Are you Master Kongjian” The Ghost Ant King's heart skipped a beat. The aura of the ascension tribulation thunder was enough to make him tremble in fear. However, he didn't show any weakness on his face.

"Why would I make an enemy of the Buddhist sect Doesn't Master Kongjian know this, or is he pretending to be ignorant"

"Amitabha Buddha, this poor monk is here. The Ant King cannot pass, so you might as well retreat yourself." Kongjian knew the reason behind it. The Red Moon Desert's full-scale offensive was faster than expected. He had only just met with Kongming and Kong’er when several Mahayana cultivators from the Red Moon Desert, leading countless disciples, had already surged towards the temple bordering the chaotic demon domain.

Even the Zhūfuzong, a renowned Buddhist sect, was caught off guard. Thankfully, their profound foundation allowed them to recover quickly and organize a counterattack in such a short time. Furthermore, within conflicts involving cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, they even gained the upper hand.

If it weren't for the attacks of Arhat cultivators and other powerful Mahayana monks, by now most Buddhist monks below the Nascent Soul stage would have been crushed by the enemies of the Crimson Moon Desert.

At present, the most urgent task for the Buddhist sect is to stop Duan Bi and the several lotus avatars' surprise attacks on the Buddhist sect's main branch.

As for the Broken Arm faction, upon learning that the Buddha Sect might use the Five Absolutes Monk Suppression Tiger Formation to refine their deity, several of them immediately decided to rescue their deity from the Buddha Sect as quickly as possible, especially since at this time, the number of Great Vehicle realm powerhouses in their faction still outnumbered those of the Buddha Sect. In the short term, and even in the future, the strength of the Crimson Moon Desert would be difficult to increase. Launching an attack as soon as possible would be in the best interest of the Crimson Moon Desert.

"It's easy for you to say, 'just go away.' The Five Absolute Monks used the Tiger Formation to fight against Lu Xiaoteng's main body, the Thirty-Six Copper Men Heaven-Shaking Demon Subduing Formation was also deployed against him, and even that bald donkey with evil intentions used a single move to target one of Lu Xiaoteng's arms. Even you, a high-ranking monk who has crossed the Tribulation Period, had to make a move. It seems like the Buddhist sect is truly cornered this time."

The Ghost Ant King's eyes flickered. Although the surging robbery aura around Kong Jian was extremely terrifying, the Ghost Ant King didn't dare to underestimate it. Since Kong Jian had made a move, the Buddhist sect had almost exhausted its trump cards. His Void-Devouring Ghost Ant swarm was suppressed by the powerful techniques of the Buddhist sect, but conversely, if he could devour enough Buddhist monks, the benefits for the Void-Devouring Ghost Ant clan would be unimaginable.

From the Ghost Ant King's perspective, even with Su Qing as the ant nest, he still had to be bound by him as the Ghost Ant King. He also couldn't leave if he wanted to, both mutually restricting each other. Even so, he wouldn't want to fight against experts of the same level as the Buddhist sect.

But if it takes little effort and can still benefit both himself and the ant colony, taking advantage of the chaos, the Ghost Ant King would be even fiercer than anyone else, without needing to break an arm or be urged by the Heavenly Demon Sovereign.

"All the other Conjuration Realm powerhouses in Red Moon Desert have already been blocked. Is Ant King determined to force this monk's hand" Kong Jian said expressionlessly, his figure appearing and disappearing like a phantom. It was precisely because of the loose relationship between Ghost Ant King and Lu Xia Tian that Kong Jian hadn't made a move immediately.

The Ghost Ant King feared him greatly, there was no doubt about it. But the other party's strength was not weak either, and they had a vast swarm protecting them. If they truly fought to the death, even he, if he gave up the opportunity to ascend to the Immortal Realm, would find it extremely difficult to deal with them. Even if the other party wanted to leave, he might not be able to stop them. At most, he could kill some low-level Void Devouring Ghost Ants, which was obviously useless.

If you can frighten the opponent into retreat without fighting, that is naturally the best choice.

“Is that so” A cold voice echoed, and a sword light shot straight at Kongjian from the void. The sword light seemed to fall from the sky, drifting out gracefully from the dust.

"A nameless swordsman" Kongjian's voice was filled with surprise. With Kongming and Konger both present, it wouldn't be possible for this swordsman to be allowed in front of them.

“Naturally, there are those who will accompany them. As the most accomplished cultivator in the Buddhist sect currently alive, I'm very curious to see him. However, the most powerful techniques passed down from the Buddhist scriptures have not been transmitted within the sect. Today's battle, it remains unknown whether Master Kongjian will be able to satisfy my curiosity.” A figure in blue robes stepped on clouds, wasn’t this Lianhua’s split personality.

"Even without the Bible, Buddhism is not something anyone can belittle. It seems that Chi Yue Desert has come prepared this time." Kong Jian's eyes became somewhat solemn.

"Kongming, Kong'er will take care of himself. As for the Empty Seer Master, I have been entrusted with him. In Buddhism, there is no one else who can stop the ant swarm's advance."

The Buddhist sect can see that the Ghost Ant King, although seemingly powerful, lacks unwavering determination. Against this, Duan Bi and the lotus avatar are certainly not unprepared.

The original plan was to wound Lei Sengming with the severed arm and then leave the injured Ming'e to be dealt with by the Ghost Ant King. Then they would immediately rush to the main body of the Buddhist sect. However, the Buddhist sect has a very deep foundation, and it even brought out thirty-six bronze statues, which caused some changes to the plan. Now, the main body can only rely on itself.

Although the Ghost Ant King is powerful, he would not fight any member of the Buddhist sect to the death. However, under Su Qing's influence in the ant nest, the Ghost Ant King could not simply withdraw and let his minions deal with the lower-ranking Buddhist monks. Under his leadership, the swarm inflicted more damage than anyone else.

“Alright then, I'll leave this to my nameless friend.” Ghost Ant King chuckled. Everyone knew what was going on. With the ant nest as a deterrent and the Red Moon Desert so well-prepared, he hadn't gone to make a big fuss at the Buddhist sect, it seemed like a missed opportunity.
