As soon as Jin Fo finished speaking, his gaze fell on Ye Ran and Wang Xianghe.

A playful smile hung on his face.

It was as if it was telling the two people, "Come and chop me if you dare..."

Faced with Jin Fo's provocation, Ye Ran and Wang Xianghe's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"Damn it, I'm always the one threatening others, when have I ever been threatened by anyone else?!" Wang Xianghe roared.

"You think you're so sanctimonious?!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Fo didn't get angry but laughed, his laughter filled with contempt and mockery: "If you're not convinced, try it and you'll see..."

"court death!!"

Enraged, Wang Xianghe launched a fierce attack on the golden Buddha.

The power of the soul condensed in his palm into a dazzling, multicolored radiance.

However, faced with Wang Xianghe's fierce attack,

The golden Buddha not only made no defensive move, but also closed its eyes, completely giving up resistance. It stood motionless in place with a strange smile on its face...

This sudden and unusual action alerted Wang Xianghe, who instinctively withdrew his attack.

"Pfft..."

The terrifying power of the soul left only a shallow wound on the golden Buddha's shoulder...

"That's it..." Jin Fo looked at the scars on his shoulder and shook his head dismissively. "Looks like you still don't have the guts to gamble with me..."

Then, a golden light flashed on the golden Buddha's shoulder.

In an instant, the golden Buddha's shoulder was completely healed.

Meanwhile, Chen Wuxin, who was sitting upright on the lotus platform, suddenly found a deep, bone-revealing wound on his shoulder...

This scene caused Ye Ran and Chen Wuxin to frown deeply.

At this moment, the golden Buddha once again extended a finger and lightly tapped his chest, saying provocatively:

"Another sword strike? I wonder if this little kid can withstand it..."

Ye Ran and Wang Xianghe stared silently at the provocative golden Buddha.

Seeing the two remain silent, the golden Buddha grew even more smug. He clasped his hands together, and a beam of golden light burst forth from his palms, shooting straight into the sky.

"Since you dare not lay a hand on me, then I will send you on your way! Great Sun Indra!!!"

In an instant, nine golden suns appeared in the sky, each radiating destructive Buddhist light, crushing towards Ye Ran and Wang Xianghe...

Faced with such a terrifying offensive, Ye Ran and Wang Xianghe had no choice but to fight back with all their might.

However, during the confrontation, both sides were hesitant to act for fear of harming the innocent.

They dared not use their full strength.

For a time, they were suppressed by the golden Buddha and forced to retreat steadily...

"Damn it!" Wang Xianghe cursed as he parried the attacks of the golden sun. "Ye Ran has to make a choice. If this continues, he'll be worn down by this guy sooner or later..."

Ye Ran swung his sword, shattering the incoming golden light, and calmly said:

"My sword can sever his control over Chen Wuxin, but only for a fleeting moment..."

"And then what?" Wang Xianghe asked.

"You must use your soul power to awaken Chen Wuxin's consciousness the instant I sever the connection..." Ye Ran said in a deep voice, "If you miss that moment, control will be restored immediately..."

Hearing Ye Ran's suggestion, Wang Xianghe frowned as he looked at the frantically attacking golden Buddha.

"There are still several extraordinary monks to deal with beside Chen Wuxin. I'm afraid this golden Buddha won't give us this opportunity..."

"Hahaha!" The Golden Buddha's laughter was like thunder. "Trying to be distracted by other things during a battle of this level??? Wishful thinking!!"

Having said that, the golden Buddha formed a hand seal, and the nine golden suns merged into one, transforming into a thick pillar of golden light that crashed down upon the two of them, making the attack even more ferocious...

Ye Ran and Wang Xianghe were forced to separate and dodge.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jin Fo leaned forward and struck Ye Ran with a palm.

At this critical moment,

A golden figure suddenly descended from the sky, blocking Ye Ran and the golden Buddha.

The golden Buddha's palm struck directly against the golden fist, producing a deafening roar.

The terrifying collision of forces caused the golden Buddha to stagger back several steps...

"Shi Huaqing?!"

Ye Ran stared in astonishment at the magnificent golden figure before her.

This person was none other than the Vajra Walker, Shi Huaqing, who had previously stopped Ye Ran and Wang Xianghe...

At this moment, Shi Huaqing's body was covered with red cracks, and his heavy breathing carried a terrifying power.

This is a symbol that the power of life and laws has begun to burn.

Even so,

Given the vast difference in strength between him and the Golden Buddha,

His right arm was a bloody mess from the earlier clash.

The golden light continuously repaired the wounds on his right arm.

He coldly stared at the golden Buddha before him, and without turning his head, said to Ye Ran and the other person:

"Go save Chen Wuxin, I'll hold him off..."

"You..." Ye Ran stared blankly at Shi Huaqing.

Perhaps out of guilt, Shi Huaqing dared not turn to look at Ye Ran. Facing the golden Buddha, he shouted loudly:

"Go quickly, I can't make another mistake!!!"

Ye Ran and Wang Xianghe watched the Vajra Walker's retreating figure.

He nodded slowly.

Then it flew straight towards Chen Wuxin's direction.

"Stop them!!"

The golden Buddha roared and commanded the monks.

Subsequently,

The golden Buddha leaped into the air, also charging towards Ye Ran and the others...

However, at the very moment the golden Buddha stood up...

He suddenly felt his legs sink.

He looked down and saw that the Vajra Practitioner, an illusion conjured by Shi Huaqing, was tightly embracing the golden Buddha's legs.

"Get back here!!!"

"Ah!!!" Shi Huaqing roared, the red cracks all over his body becoming even more dazzling.

The terrifying force flung the golden Buddha back to its original spot.

"boom!!!"

The golden Buddha landed.

The entire mountain range trembled three times.

"court death!!!"

Seeing that this tiny ant, which he had previously disregarded, had somehow blocked his path, Jin Fo was furious.

Enraged, the golden Buddha launched a fierce attack on Shi Huaqing.

The terrifying attacks rained down on Shi Huaqing.

Each strike nearly shattered Shi Huaqing's body and destroyed his very essence of law.

Even the Buddhist kingdom established by Master Huaqing was constantly wailing in despair.

Even so, Master Huaqing still clung tightly to the golden Buddha's legs, refusing to let go.

Even though his body was no longer human, and even though the very essence of his laws was almost shattered by the golden Buddha,

"You...can't get over it..."

Shi Huaqing's broken mouth couldn't keep up with the wind.

He could only utter a few words incoherently from his chest.

Even the faintest glimmer of light in those shattered eyes carried an unprecedented resolve.

The crimson light flickered incessantly within the cracks all over its body, growing more rapid and dimmer with each passing moment.

At that moment, Shi Huaqing burned himself out...
