Chapter 361: Mob
"Boom!"
Just then, Dongfang Zhen, whose eyes had been slightly closed, suddenly opened them, and a terrifying aura spilled out from his gaze. Following that, a majestic presence dispersed in all directions.
This Ming Wang exuded an aura of authority without anger, his divine light shining, like the overwhelming waves of a stormy sea. The Mysterious Techniques of Ah Da and his two companions were instantly enveloped by this dazzling light, dissipating into nothingness.
The boundless Buddha Light scattered the three's Mysterious Techniques, and not only that, but it also rolled toward Fu Xi and the others, crushing down on them.
"What!"
Not only were Ah Da and his companions stunned, Fu Xi also let out a shocked cry.
"How did his Mysterious Technique suddenly become so powerful?"
They had just observed Qinchuan healing Dongfang Zhen, and although they were amazed at how quickly Qinchuan had revived someone grievously injured, they hadn't taken it seriously.
But.
How had Dongfang Zhen, who had been at a disadvantage in the fight against the four of them, suddenly become so strong?
Originally, there was a faint light of Buddha within Dongfang Zhen's body, and a Ming Wang was already taking form within his Sacred Body, but it had not reached the stage of manifesting externally.
How could he, in just an instant, release the Ming Wang externally?
Fu Xi and the others, of course, did not know that inside Dongfang Zhen was the Heaven-Piercing Five Elements Spiritual Root, which was constantly absorbing the True Qi in his body, naturally preventing him from externalizing the Ming Wang.
With Qinchuan removing the Spirit Root hidden within his body, it was undoubtedly like unlocking the shackles on him. Combined with the Oral Incantation that Qinchuan transmitted to him, in harmony with the operation of the Immovable Vajra Body, within this short period of less than half a cup of tea, Dongfang Zhen's strength had undergone an earth-shaking transformation.
Even if Ah Si had not died and the four had attacked together, they would have found it difficult to harm him anymore.
Ah Da and his two companions' True Qi roared within them, and their powerful and fierce Mysterious Techniques poured forth, bombarding the Ming Wang Buddha Light that was rolling towards everyone.
Fu Xi also noticed some changes in Dongfang Zhen at this time. Although he was astonished at how quickly Dongfang Zhen's strength had improved in such a short period, he also knew that it was more urgent to deal with Dongfang Zhen and Qinchuan first.
Immediately, his whole body shook, and a majestic and compelling aura burst forth, carrying an unmatched, invincible intent.
What he was cultivating was the Emperor's Way, and the Emperor's aura erupted from his crown chakra, coiling and spiraling until it formed a golden dragon in a short time. The golden dragon bared its teeth and claws, the sound of dragon's roars resounding, surging forth.
The four attacked together, their Mysterious Techniques dancing in unison.
But the Immovable Honored King was already seated firmly in place, completely unmoved, the chanting from his mouth growing even more profound. Compassionate, majestic, sublime, and mystical, the chant was immensely powerful, purifying all impurities, washing away the mortal world.
Around Dongfang Zhen, for miles, everything was bathed in a sacred and peaceful halo of light.
The brilliant Buddha Light illuminated, entwining with the four's Mysterious Techniques.
For a moment, Buddha Light and the chant scattered everywhere, gentle and mysterious, sacred and divine, as if to enlighten the countless demons within the Heavenly Demon Forest.
And the mysterious techniques of the four were earth-shattering, possessing the power to move mountains and overturn seas. Their mysterious techniques clashed with the Buddha's Light and chanting, intertwining dao and law, emitting a dazzling light in the sky. After a series of booming explosions, the might of the Buddha's Light and the various mysterious techniques dissipated into nothingness, and then the heavens and earth returned to calm.
Just at that moment, a voice filled with dissatisfaction from Qinchuan suddenly broke the recently restored calm.
"What just happened? Despite being the renowned Immovable King Holy Body, to only achieve a draw with three pieces of trash?"
Dongfang Zhen was taken aback upon hearing these words.
Just now, he had held his own against the four, and although he had managed to kill one of them, it was entirely due to the advantage of the magical treasure and a life-for-a-life surprise tactic. The opponents were still four in number. Although Ah Si was no longer among them, he had been replaced with the even more formidable Fu Xi. Furthermore, he had not used the Demon Suppression Staff, and had solely relied on the advantage of the Buddha's Light to suppress the four so they struggled to gain the upper hand.
If this had happened in the past, such an achievement would be a source of pride, but in Qinchuan's eyes, it still seemed far from enough.
But Qinchuan's identity was a mystery, and he had rescued the Dongfang Family numerous times, even healing the hidden illnesses within his body. Although not the slightest bit unpleased, there still lingered some disbelief in his heart.
The group of four, led by Fu Xi, felt humiliated to be fought to a draw by just Dongfang Zhen. Hearing Qinchuan speak this way now, they all turned to look in his direction, their eyes blazing with anger, as if they were about to devour Qinchuan alive.
"Insolent brat!"
"Nothing more than a Meridian Opening Realm upstart, just hiding behind others and barking wildly!" Fu Xi burst out in anger, his imperial and Badao aura soaring to the skies.
Qinchuan remained unmoved, watching him disdainfully and said lightly, "It seems Prince Fu Xi has already forgotten what I said earlier. You four are but a motley crew, unworthy of my personal intervention. To suppress you lot, Dongfang Zhen is more than enough. It's been merely half the time it takes to drink a cup of tea; have you forgotten already?"
"When I say I will do something, I naturally will see it through." Saying this, Qinchuan gestured to Dongfang Zhen and said, "Youngster of the Dongfang Family, come here. I will teach you a few more oral incantations. You'll go up and suppress these four trash."
"Arrogant! Too arrogant!"
"I have never seen such insolence," said the prince.
"Good! Very good! If that's the case, then this prince will make sure you die convinced and submissive. I would like to see what tricks you can still pull off," said Fu Xi.
Having said this, Fu Xi stood his ground, no longer taking action, and quietly waited for Qinchuan to teach the oral incantation.
Instead, it was Ah Da who came up beside him and asked cautiously, "Eldest Prince, this kid is quite sinister. In just the time for half a cup of tea, he increased Dongfang Zhen's strength significantly? If we give him more time, perhaps Dongfang Zhen truly will break through? Why don't we take him by surprise?"
Without taking his eyes off Dongfang Zhen and Qinchuan, Fu Xi spoke with venomous hate, "No rush. Who in the world has ever heard of a deity who can make someone's strength and Realm multiply within just a short period of half a cup of tea?"
"Then... how do you explain that little chap Dongfang Zhen's surge in strength?" Ah Da asked with genuine puzzlement.
It was then that Fu Xi finally turned his head and glanced at him, "Didn't you see Qinchuan feed Dongfang Zhen some kind of elixir?"
"That elixir is miraculous, able to heal Dongfang Zhen's injuries so quickly!" Ah Da furrowed his brows tightly and continued to ask, dumbfounded, "But what has that got to do with the increase in Dongfang Zhen's strength?"
Exasperated, Fu Xi smacked him on the head, annoyed at his obtuseness: "You're as blockheaded as a pig! How do I have such a fool for a retainer?"
"Could it be that the elixir is really just a simple healing pill?"
At this, Ah Da finally realized, and rubbing his shaved head, he said naively, "So, the prince suspects that the boy's sudden increase in strength is due to ingesting an elixir?"
