Chapter 95 Xuanzang Refuses to Retreat, First Battle Against the Ancient Buddha in the Hall of All B
Manjushri and Samantabhadra led their Buddhist army to press on the border.
A dense, dark mass, obscuring the sky and the sun.
"Chen Fan!" Manjushri shouted, his voice booming like thunder, "Surrender now!"
Chen Fan stood in front of the Hall of All Beings, with Sun Wukong, the Six-Eared Macaque, and other masters standing behind him.
"Just the two of you?" he sneered.
"That's enough to deal with you." Puxian stepped forward.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"etc."
At that moment, Xuanzang stepped forward.
He was dressed in a white monk's robe and held a nine-piece Zen staff.
"Manjushri, Samantabhadra," Xuanzang said calmly, "what are you trying to do?"
"What are you doing?" Manjushri sneered. "Xuanzang, you've been misled by a cult, won't you wake up?"
"A cult?" Xuanzang laughed. "What is evil? What is righteous?"
He stepped forward without fear.
"Those who preach compassion at the gates of Buddhism, yet allow the Heavenly Court to prey on the common people."
"Buddhism talks about cause and effect every day, yet it teaches demons to eat people to cultivate their spiritual path."
"Is this what they call 'right'?"
Manjushri's face darkened.
"Xuanzang, you're asking for death!"
"Looking for death?" Xuanzang shook his head. "This humble monk is simply doing what I should do."
He turned to face the Hall of All Beings.
"The Hall of All Beings promotes the equality of all beings."
"I, the monk, have seen the true path here."
"What a joke!" Puxian roared, "Watch me destroy this evil temple of yours!"
He raised his hand, and a Buddhist seal pressed down on the Hall of All Beings.
The Buddha's seal is as tall as a mountain, carrying the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.
"Good timing!"
Xuanzang did not retreat but advanced.
He stood at the entrance of the palace, his body radiating golden light.
"The Sutra of All Beings is recited by all people!"
He murmured.
Suddenly, a great light shone brightly in the hall.
Countless phantoms emerged from the bodies of the people in the palace.
These phantom images are the embodiment of the beliefs of the people of Chang'an.
They were all ordinary people who believed in the Temple of All Beings.
The phantoms surrounded Xuanzang, forming an unbreakable human wall.
"Impossible!" Manjushri's expression changed.
"The power of the people's thoughts..." Even Samantabhadra was astonished.
What Buddhism fears most is the will of the people.
Once the hearts of the people are lost, even the strongest Buddhist power is useless.
"kill!"
Xuanzang waved his hand.
The phantom images of ten thousand people rushed toward the Buddha's seal.
The two collided with a deafening roar.
The Buddha's seal was actually blocked.
"Xuanzang!" Manjushri gritted his teeth, "You're courting death!"
He and Puxian attacked at the same time.
Two beams of Buddhist light transformed into giant hands, grabbing towards Xuanzang.
Xuanzang's face was pale.
That attack just now had exhausted most of his magical power.
Now, he is at his last gasp.
"Master!"
Chen Fan wanted to make a move.
But Manjushri and Samantabhadra's target is him.
Two giant golden hands, one on the left and one on the right, blocked his escape route.
"Chen Fan!" Manjushri sneered, "You'd better take care of yourself first!"
Chen Fan was forced to retreat repeatedly.
He wanted to rescue Xuanzang.
But I simply couldn't get away from it.
"It's over..."
Just now.
"boom!"
An even more terrifying aura erupted from the Hall of All Beings.
Buddhist blood splattered all over Xuanzang's body.
But he stubbornly held on.
"No……"
He clenched his teeth.
"This humble monk will not retreat!"
His body shone with golden light.
"Master!" Sun Wukong wanted to go and save him.
"Don't come any closer!" Xuanzang roared. "I can do it!"
He raised his hand with difficulty.
"All people, heed my command!"
The sound was deafening.
"recite!"
This word is like a command.
Within Chang'an City, all the people chanted in unison.
"Namo Amitabha Buddha..."
The chanting transformed into tangible power, flowing into Xuanzang's body.
Xuanzang's body began to crack.
Blood flowed from his seven orifices.
But he ignored it.
"The Sutra of All Beings, Second Level!"
He roared.
Suddenly, an even more terrifying burst of psychic power erupted.
Manjushri and Samantabhadra's expressions changed drastically.
"Retreat now!"
They wanted to withdraw.
But it was too late.
The combined power of the people's thoughts transformed into a torrent, surging back.
"puff!"
"puff!"
Both of them vomited blood at the same time.
Golden blood of Buddha stains the sky crimson.
"Walk!"
Manjushri made a decisive decision.
He grabbed Puxian and ran away.
The Tathagata fled in that direction.
The Buddhist soldiers also retreated.
In the blink of an eye, he vanished without a trace.
Silence reigned before the Hall of All Beings.
"Master!"
Chen Fan rushed over.
Xuanzang was already breathing more in than out.
"Xuanzang!" Sun Wukong also ran over.
"ha……"
Xuanzang smiled.
Her smile was exceptionally radiant.
"As your teacher... I'm finally... no longer a burden..."
After saying that, his head lolled to the side and he fainted.
"Summon a doctor!"
Chen Fan picked up Xuanzang and rushed into the hall.
The Hall of All Beings came to life.
Everyone is busy.
No one noticed it in a corner of the rear hall.
The roller blind stood in the shadows.
She was holding a booklet in her hand.
"Account books..."
She murmured.
"It's time to use it."
She vanished in a flash.
Chang'an City, bustling streets.
The crowd was bustling.
"Look! What's that?"
Someone shouted.
Everyone looked up.
Countless screens of light appeared in the sky.
On the light screen, names and strings of numbers appeared.
"What is this?"
"Buddhist sect account books!"
"The embezzled incense money!"
"Trafficking of children!"
"The land they've seized!"
"Every single detail, crystal clear"
Chu!
The people of Chang'an were in an uproar.
"So, this is what people in Buddhism are like?"
"The compassion she feigned all day was all a lie!"
"They've been lying to us for so many years!"
"Smash them!"
People started throwing stones.
It crashed into the nearest temple.
"Yes! Smash it!"
More people responded.
Chang'an City is in chaos.
The faith that Buddhism has cultivated for many years is in grave danger.
The news spread quickly to all corners of the country.
Two seas, Flaming Mountain...
All branches of the Hall of All Beings acted simultaneously.
When the people learned the truth, they were furious.
They smashed Buddha statues and burned temples.
The rule of Buddhism began to falter.
The rear hall.
Chen Fan settled Xuanzang in.
He walked out of the room, his expression complex.
"My lord."
The roller shutter appears.
"The ledgers, have they been released?"
"kindness."
Chen Fan nodded.
"well done."
He looked up at the sky.
"This time, Buddhism has suffered a severe blow."
"But we won't give up so easily."
He clenched his fist.
"Next..."
He suddenly remembered something.
"Guanyin Golden Lotus".
He retrieved it from the system space.
The golden lotus radiates a soft glow.
"The Dharma body of a Bodhisattva..."
His eyes flickered.
"Reverse degreeization..."
A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Buddhism".
"Don't you like to convert people?"
"Today, I'll let you taste what it's like to be converted!"
He put away Jinlian.
"Pass down the order."
"The entire army is on high alert."
"Next time, it'll be Mount Ling!"
"yes!"
The subordinate obeyed the order.
Chen Fan looked westward.
That place is Mount Ling.
The Tathagata is right there.
"Tathagata"
Are you ready?
"Did you?"
A corner of Guanyin's Dharma body was chipped off during the reverse conversion.
"Trying to leave?"
Chen Fan sneered.
"It's not that easy!"
He chased after him.
But he had only chased after them for a few steps.
He stopped in his tracks.
His eyes have changed.
Manjushri and Samantabhadra did not run away.
Instead, he turned around.
They charged towards... Xuanzang!
wrong!
His pupils contracted sharply.
This is not killing Xuanzang.
But...
"Xuanzang!"
He roared.
But it was too late.
Manjushri and Samantabhadra attacked simultaneously.
Two golden rays entered Xuanzang's body.
Xuanzang's expression changed drastically.
"not good!"
He exclaimed.
"They are...possessing someone!"
Chen Fan's eyes were bloodshot.
He planned everything meticulously.
I hadn't considered this step.
Manjushri and Samantabhadra.
They actually tried to possess Xuanzang's body!
"No!"
He rushed over.
But it was too late.
Xuanzang's body.
It started to tremble.
His eyes.
I feel lost.
"No!"
Chen Fan roared.
He grabbed Xuanzang.
"wake up!"
He shouted.
But it didn't work.
Xuanzang's eyes.
It's becoming increasingly hollow.
"Hahaha!"
Manjushri laughed loudly.
"Chen Fan".
"You think we're really afraid of you?"
"Xuanzang was a pilgrim who went on a pilgrimage to India."
"A spokesperson for Buddhism."
"His body."
"We want them!"
Chen Fan's eyes were icy cold.
"Yeah?"
He released Xuanzang.
Take a step back.
"you."
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
Manjushri and Samantabhadra.
They exchanged a glance.
"What is there to be afraid of?"
They exerted their efforts simultaneously.
Xuanzang's body.
It begins to expand.
"No!"
Chen Fan shouted again.
Inside his body.
The power of the system.
It's running like crazy.
"Ding!"
"Possession behavior detected."
"Reverse degreeization system activated."
"Begin the countermeasures."
The system's voice.
It echoed in my mind.
Chen Fan smiled.
This is the moment he's been waiting for.
"Countermeasures?"
Manjushri sneered.
"What are you going to use to refute this...?"
But he didn't finish his sentence.
His expression.
changed.
"not good!"
He exclaimed.
"He's...absorbing the reverse!"
That's right.
Chen Fan's body.
Like a whirlpool.
The power of Buddha inputted by Manjushri and Samantabhadra.
They were all sucked away.
"No!"
They want to withdraw.
But it was too late.
"It's too late."
Chen Fan's eyes were icy cold.
"Dare to touch my people."
"you."
"Are you ready?"
Inside his body.
There is no moral system.
It's running like crazy.
"Ding!"
"Reverse degreeing successful."
"Gained 1000 Buddhist vow power."
"Gained some of Manjushri's cultivation."
"Gained some of the cultivation of Samantabhadra."
The system's voice.
The sound kept ringing out.
Chen Fan's aura.
It continues to climb.
"No!"
Manjushri and Samantabhadra.
A scream rang out.
Their cultivation level.
It's passing by.
"No!"
"Retreat immediately!"
They wanted to run away.
But Chen Fan held on tightly.
"Trying to run away?"
"It's not that easy!"
Chen Fan grabbed it with his large hand.
They directly killed the two of them.
Bring them back to your side.
"seal up!"
He murmured.
A ray of light.
Enveloping Manjushri and Samantabhadra.
The two were immediately unable to move.
"Chen Fan!"
"What do you want to do?"
Manjushri roared.
"What are you doing?"
Chen Fan sneered.
"You want to possess my body."
"Then I will refine you!"
He turned the remaining fire in the Eight Trigrams Furnace.
They directly killed the two of them.
Put it into the furnace.
"No!"
"don't want!"
Screams.
Its sound resounded throughout heaven and earth.
But it didn't work.
Manjushri and Samantabhadra.
Inside the Bagua Furnace.
Turn to ashes.
"Ding!"
"Refining successful."
"Gained all of Manjushri's cultivation."
"Gaining all of Samantabhadra's cultivation."

The system's voice.
It rang again.
Chen Fan smiled.
He looked at Xuanzang.

The group exchanged glances.
Their eyes were filled with shock.
"My lord."
Sun Wukong spoke.
"Next."
"What do we do?"
Chen Fan remained silent for a moment.
"The Buddha will not let this go easily."
"He will definitely make another move."
"Then let's take the initiative."
He looked at the crowd.
"Attack Mount Ling."
The group exchanged glances.
Their eyes burned with fighting spirit.

They shouted in unison.
