Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 172 Tathagata's Personal Test
In the Mo family mechanical city, Gai Nie, who originally had the victory, could not bear to do it because of the friendship between his fellow apprentices, which led to Wei Zhuang's sneak attack with a sword, just when he was about to succeed.

"Be careful!" Gao Jianli and others, who had already resolved the misunderstanding about Gai Nie, warned them, but it was too late. Gai Nie was attacked with a sword at high speed, but at this critical moment, a rare holy weapon with dazzling light appeared, which resolved the crisis and repelled Wei Zhuang.

"Who is it?!" Although he had no intention of killing Gai Nie, he was just unhappy with his attitude towards the duel, so he launched a sneak attack. Wei Zhuang was still looking forward to a fair fight with him, and was still unhappy and angry that someone repeatedly interfered with his sword duels.

As night fell, the dark main passage of Mohe suddenly became as bright as day. Light burst out from it, illuminating everyone present, and a golden figure slowly stepped in.

Bai Feng realized that the person who came was the one who had injured him before, and quickly reminded him: "Master Wei Zhuang, be careful, this is the person who injured me."

Knowing that the visitor was a martial arts expert, Wei Zhuang tightly grasped the shark-tooth sword in his hand and was secretly on guard.

The newcomer took steady steps, as calm as an abyss or clear as a stream. His sturdy figure revealed an inviolable majesty. Wherever he stepped, the swastika Buddhist seal appeared, making everyone in "Liusha" hold their breath and wait.

A golden figure appeared in front of everyone, and the golden light around him began to dissipate.

Under the gaze of everyone, the light dissipated and the person inside finally revealed his true appearance. He turned out to be one of the main targets of this operation, Jing Tianming.

"Bai Feng, you were defeated by a mere child." Seeing that the person coming was just a young child, Yin Fu couldn't help but said sarcastically.

"Shut up, this person is extraordinary and should not be underestimated." Wei Zhuang spoke at this time only because he felt a different aura from the child in front of him.

Gai Nie, who had been with Tianming all the way, had the same feeling. He intuitively felt that Tianming was so strange.

Tianming came in front of Wei Zhuang and his group and stopped suddenly. His thin childlike body showed a majestic demeanor.

Wei Zhuang realized that if he delayed for too long, he would be at a disadvantage, so he slashed towards Tianming with the shark-tooth sword in his hand.

Seeing this, Da Tiechui, who was also one of the leaders of the Mohist School, shouted angrily, "Asshole! How dare you use such a heavy hand on a child?"

Although Gao Jianli and others noticed Tianming's abnormal behavior, as it concerned the safety of their best friend's son, they wanted to take action, but the distance was too far and they could only watch Wei Zhuang attack Tianming.

When Tianming faced Wei Zhuang's probing sword, he put his palms together. The Buddha's glory, which was not supposed to appear in this world, suddenly appeared like the King of Light, and instantly shocked Wei Zhuang back, and the shark tooth in his hand almost flew out of his hand.

Amidst the brilliance, poetry rang out, shaking the entire three thousand worlds.

"The results of the three bodies originate from the mortal roots, and there is no trace of the causes and conditions in the six realms. The passing of good things has never been the original nature, and the birth and death of glory and death are all empty gates."

The dark night sky is brilliant and radiant, and the Emperor Tathagata descends upon this world. “The remnant spirits from another world, their true form is not their true form, the Emperor Tathagata will be the Lord of the Quicksand.”

Wei Zhuang saw this strange scene and thought about what Li Si had said. He suddenly realized, "So this is the secret of this child."

Gai Nie was also amazed at the changes in Tianming. What caused him to completely change his appearance?

Before everyone present could react to the scene before their eyes, Emperor Tathagata said proudly to everyone in Liusha, "Tonight, Emperor Tathagata will fight against many alone. I am honored to see you."

With a greeting, the battle was about to break out. Emperor Tathagata stepped forward slowly, his energy moving with his body, raising dust from the shattered ground from the previous battle.

Upon seeing this, Wei Zhuang realized that Emperor Tathagata was no ordinary person, and he was the first to draw his sword and attack.

Emperor Tathagata used his magic to face the extremely sharp Shark Tooth and actually used his fingers to block the sword, so that the demon sword Shark Tooth could not move forward.

The Buddhist power burst out, forcing Wei Zhuang to retreat. Then he moved instantly, and the rosary in his hand wrapped around Wei Zhuang's sword, trapping the shark tooth.

Wei Zhuang poured his internal energy into the sword in his hand, intending to use the power of the shark's tooth to break the rosary. However, he discovered that the shark's tooth in his hand was restrained by a stronger and more powerful internal force, and it was in vain.

This action instead caused his body to be restrained and he was pulled closer to Emperor Tathagata, forcing Wei Zhuang to resist with his palms. However, he was restrained by the exquisite fighting skills and was about to be thrown out by an over-the-shoulder throw the moment his body lost control.

When the people of Liusha saw Wei Zhuang's defeat, they immediately rushed to support him.

Facing the siege of many masters, Emperor Tathagata was as steady as a rock, and his palms rose and fell, showing his supreme cultivation.

Thanks to the lightness skill that Bai Feng was so proud of, the wrist blade didn't even damage the corner of Emperor Tathagata's clothes. He dodged and slapped Bai Feng on the back with his backhand.

After Bai Feng was seriously injured and flew out, Chi Lian wrapped the left hand of Emperor Tathagata with the Chain Snake Soft Sword, creating opportunities for Mechanical Wushuang Ghost and Yinfu.

However, Emperor Tathagata didn't care about his left hand being restrained, and only used his right hand to fight the enemy. With a flip of his sleeves, the powerful Wushuang Ghost and the vicious and cruel Hidden Bat were completely at a disadvantage. Their offensive was completely resolved. The two were hit by a punch and a palm from Emperor Tathagata respectively, and flew away injured.

At the same time when Wushuang Gui and Yinfu were beaten back, Emperor Tathagata lightly moved his left hand and actually pulled Chi Lian over.

Chi Lian realized that getting close to him was disadvantageous, so he released several poisonous snakes to bite him.

Unexpectedly, the Emperor Tathagata used his palm to praise the power of Buddha, and suddenly his internal energy was released to protect his body. The poisonous snake was turned into dust before it could get within three inches of him.

With a powerful palm, Chi Lian was knocked several feet away and was seriously injured and unable to get up.

However, after a few moves, Emperor Tathagata had already gained the upper hand, and everyone in Liusha had suffered varying degrees of injuries.

Everyone in the Mohist School watched in shock. Liusha, who had forced the Mohist School into its current predicament, was so vulnerable in front of the man who called himself Emperor Tathagata.

Since the Black Jade Qilin was only good at the art of disguise and martial arts was not his strong point, he could only watch his companions get injured one by one and did nothing.

He was thrown out. Wei Zhuang, who was behind Emperor Tathagata, saw that everyone in Liusha was injured one by one. Regardless of his own injuries, he used Guiguzi's unique skill "Hundred-Step Flying Sword" and aimed directly at Emperor Tathagata.

Emperor Tathagata did not flee or evade, his body did not move, and his back was turned to Guiguzi's unique skills.

Just when Shark Tooth was about to approach him, he grabbed Wei Zhuang's hand that was holding Shark Tooth, and then turned it, directing all the power of the sword into the ground.

However, Wei Zhuang was attacked by the power of his own sword, and the Shark Tooth fell out of his hand and stuck into the ground. He was further injured, and after being caught by Bai Feng and Wushuang Gui, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The hundred-step flying sword was broken.

Emperor Tathagata did not attack to expand the victory. Instead, he gently sent the shark tooth stuck in the ground back to Wei Zhuang, giving everyone in Liusha a chance to catch their breath. He said, "I don't intend to start a war and kill people, so, withdraw from the Mo family mechanical city."

Wei Zhuang took the shark tooth, struggled to stand up, and said, "I don't need the mercy of my enemies."

Seeing Wei Zhuang's firm attitude, Emperor Tathagata sighed and said, "Since this is the case, time is limited. Emperor Tathagata can only abolish your martial arts and save your lives."

Before he could finish his words, the Buddha's light was seen all over the body of Emperor Tathagata, and he forced his hand to emit it. It was the "Bodhi Between" of the three initial meditation styles.
