The Last Sentinel

The cherry blossoms at Honnoji Temple, so abundant they blot out the sky, obscure the loyalty tests of the higher realms and also conceal Japan's last vestiges of resentment and its burning desire for revenge.

When news came that Tokyo had been destroyed by Ye Feng, they were on the verge of despair and collapse.

Nothing is more despairing than having your hometown removed from the list of places on ...

In a sense, at this moment, they truly became "stray dogs".

Cherry blossoms fell one by one, their pink petals carpeting the black stone steps.

Tokugawa Mitsunobu's figure gradually disappeared into the distance.

The old abbot sighed and turned to leave.

Inside the main hall, the Shakyamuni Buddha statue has some damage and cracks, which were caused by Tokugawa Mitsunobu.

Now, a dim golden light ripples across the cracks, making them appear as if they had never existed.

A rare, cold, strange light appeared in the eyes of Shakyamuni Buddha. It seemed to have regained its divinity, transforming from a false statue into a true god!

Knock knock—knock knock!

With a loud tremor, the image of Shakyamuni slowly rose to its feet!

Yes!

The Buddha statue, it, it stood up!

Even when Tokugawa Mitsunobu smashed the statue, he couldn't bring it back to life, so how come the statue is suddenly moving now?

Unbelievable!

Tokugawa Mitsunori roared in anger, the abbot of Honnoji Temple repented with compassion, and Charlie had an invincible background, but none of them could move the Buddha statue. Now, the Buddha statue actually stood up!

Opposite the Buddha statue, on the stone beam of the main hall, sat an ordinary human boy. He looked at the Buddha statue, stood up, then raised his left foot and placed it on top of his right foot. He clasped his hands in front of his heart, tilted his cheeks down at a 30-degree angle, and smiled. "Fellow Daoist, how have you been?"

As the last word fell, the space-time around the boy was suddenly twisted, the light and shadow changed, and the scene of the main hall of the Buddhist temple was abruptly changed. A magnificent shadow of a high-level martial arts city ruin appeared behind him. Even his ordinary robe instantly transformed into a golden Leo armor that shimmered with golden light. His short black hair was under his helmet, his features were handsome and he exuded heroic spirit. The white cloak on his back moved without wind and fluttered.

The Buddha stared at the boy, his eyes filled with shock, and his golden mouth uttered two words with difficulty: "Sentry, soldier!"

Ye Feng crossed his arms and chuckled, "You don't look like an ordinary Buddha! You're a bit different from the Buddhas in my hometown. Come, let me take your pulse!"

Before he finished speaking, Ye Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, shooting directly into the Buddha's pupils, and the Buddha desperately tried to resist.

But a hoarse voice came to Buddha's ear: "Don't bother. He is a satellite-level cosmic warrior who is infinitely close to the immeasurable realm. He is not someone that an ordinary exponential-level cosmic warrior like you can mess with."

Beneath the feet of Buddha and Ye Feng, a third force silently appeared—the Neanderthals, Ye Feng's lifelong nemesis, Charles Darwin!

Charlie stared intently at Ye Feng, his face flushed with excitement. "I... I've finally waited for you!"

Ye Feng raised his hand and gave Charlie the middle finger. "Dude, our relationship isn't as intimate as you think. Besides, I'm a married, traditional man. I like women, not men. Don't act like we're on a date the moment we meet. People who know us understand we're mortal enemies, but people who don't might think we're a couple!"

Charlie asked, "Where have you been for the past month? How come you look like a teenager?"

Ye Feng asked, "Where have you been? Why did you change to a strongman's bald hairstyle?"

Charlie leaned against the threshold and said, "Don't worry, as an old rival, I won't interfere with you. You deal with this evil Buddha first!"

Soon, mathematical formulas converged rapidly in Ye Feng's eyes like a data chain, and various formula models continued to evolve!

Peng——

As the crisp snap of fingers rang out, Ye Feng remained seated, while the Buddha's golden body began to crumble rapidly, cracks appearing on its golden form, and a black aura of death emanating from the cracks.

Charlie asked, "Have you figured anything out yet?"

"Of course." Ye Feng stared at the Buddha and said, "The great genius from the strange universe, this is a very strange cultivation method. You don't need to have heard of him, know him, or even see him. You only need a sentence in your mind, a thought. If this thought is clear enough, pure enough, and devout enough, then it will hear you. Once this thought is sent out, it cannot be taken back, and you will gain double the reward. Moreover, this multiplier cannot be controlled until the thought turns into greed."

Charlie said, "So, the essence of this Buddha is to lead people towards evil?"

At this moment, the Buddha, whose body was shrouded in black energy, roared, "What do you mean I lead people to evil? Have you ever seen a Buddha who leads people to good? This is the environment in which Buddhas cultivate now! They all cultivate their minds by sowing demonic seeds through the seven emotions and six desires, using fear as a whip and temptation as bait, to cultivate to the true! Do you dare to say that you didn't cultivate in this way?"

Ye Feng spread his hands and said, "No, I got here by cheating!"

"What are you looking at me for!" Charlie said irritably. "I sacrificed my entire clan and sold my brother to get to where I am today!"

The Buddha was stunned. Looking at the two scoundrels, he was so angry he almost ascended to heaven. "You, you, you're in cahoots?"

"That's not right," Ye Feng said. "How could I possibly be in cahoots with my enemy, a heretic! Even if we're not close, you can't slander me like that! If outsiders heard this, how could I face anyone?"

"If you can't be human, then be a heretic!" Charlie said enthusiastically. "Like me, become a heretic, and from then on, I am the people, and the people are me. If one person is full, then no Neanderthal will go hungry!"

Ye Feng waved his hand, "Garlic Bird, Garlic Bird, I will never be a heretic in this life, the next life, or the life after that!"

"Keep bragging!"

"Screw you!"

"By the way, Ye Feng, I heard you're cursed and about to die?"

"Who told you that? I'm as healthy as a clam, I don't have a single red hair on me, what makes you think I'm about to die?"

"You let it slip! Everyone knows about Red Hair now. Looks like you must have caught that Red Hair curse virus! Hahaha! The day you suddenly die, I'll definitely send you a nice coffin and come eat your four dishes while I'm at it!"

"Is that so? I'll kill you before I die and bury you under my coffin, so you can be suppressed forever!"

"If you do that, wouldn't we be buried together? Wouldn't that make me higher in status than your wife, Xuan Nu!"

"You fucking idiot! Can't you be serious for once?! How did I end up with such a stupid opponent?!"

"..."

Seeing that Ye Feng and Charlie were getting more and more engrossed in their conversation, Buddha couldn't hold back any longer. "Enough! Don't you two have any respect for me?!"

"I forgot," Ye Feng clapped his hands and said, "Sorry, I get easily carried away when I encounter this heretic Charlie, which made me waste time!"

"I'm so sorry!"

"I'll send you on your way right now!"

When Buddha saw Ye Feng raise his left hand and Charlie raise his right hand, he knew these two were about to team up and kill him!

The Buddha was instantly stunned. He slid to his knees and kowtowed smoothly, pleading, "No, no, I have important information. Killing me isn't worth it..."
