Chapter 149 Can you deal with the drought demon?
As soon as the words fell, everyone's expressions changed once more, for at this moment, they all sensed Tian Tui's ill intentions.
And that "Fellow Daoist Abe" he called out just now was clearly his accomplice.
Yet after a few breaths, the Fellow Daoist Abe that Tian Tui spoke of still had not appeared, which couldn't help but make everyone wonder if he was just bluffing.
Tian Tui's complexion was also extremely unsightly at this moment, almost turning the color of a pig's liver.
Abe no Nakamaro had sworn to him by the heavens just yesterday, yet now that it was time for him to act, there wasn't even a shadow of him to be seen.
Little did he know, Abe no Nakamaro was in a difficult position as well. It had been agreed that Tian Tui would use the Three Mountains and Nine Marquises Formation to trap everyone, and after Nvba was heavily injured, he would then appear to harvest everyone's Divine Soul.
But now, not only were the monks and Daoists not controlled, but Nvba was also watching from the side with leisure; how could he dare to go over?
He could feel the terrifying Aura of Nvba's attack from miles away; it was not in the slightest weaker than that of the island nation's Emperor Jimmu, and perhaps even exceeded it.
His trump card was merely something bestowed upon him by Emperor Jimmu, so how could he possibly contend with such a powerful being?
Therefore, he could only watch from afar, waiting for an opportunity, and even planned to flee immediately if anything went wrong.
As for integrity? What a joke. Can integrity be eaten as a meal? Their Wa nation never had such a thing!
The situation on the field kept changing, especially for Vajrabodhi and the others behind; their expressions were extremely ugly.
"Fellow Daoist Tian, the situation is urgent. Please withdraw the Formation, and we will come to assist you!" Vajrabodhi shouted.
"That's right, Fellow Daoist Tian, that scoundrel Jiang Chen is intolerable to the laws of heaven. I know you want to protect us, but how can we let you face the danger alone!" Shen Tai also followed up righteously.
Nvba watched with dancing eyebrows, wishing she could bring over a small stool and a slice of watermelon to eat while watching.
"Bigan already had enough tricks up his sleeve, but these people have even more than Bigan."
She leaned back slightly, her legs slightly bent, her entire body floating in the air. Looking at her now, it really seemed as if she were sitting on an invisible chair.
On the field, Tian Tui listened to the noisy sounds by his ears, expressionless, treating them as nothing but wind passing by.
He wasn't stupid; he had already done the deed, so how could he be naive enough to let them out?
"Fellow Daoist Tian, monks do not tell lies!" Vajrabodhi shouted from behind.
The corner of Tian Tui's mouth twitched. Don't think he didn't know that the one following him from behind earlier was this dark and thin monk.
If other monks had said this, he might have believed them thirty percent, but he didn't believe a single word from this monk of the Esoteric Region.
But immediately after, Tian Tui's expression changed. He heard a deafening lion's roar explode in his mind, shaking his consciousness into a slight trance.
A Buddhist Divine Ability, the Fearless Lion's Roar!
Having been careless, Tian Tui was still caught in the trap, though it could not be blamed on him.
Under the suppression of the Earth Vein, those within the Three Mountains and Nine Marquises Formation could not circulate their True Qi and intent freely, let alone unleash a complete Divine Ability.
However, Vajrabodhi's move was not driven by True Qi or intent, but purely by the power of his Physical Body.
His seemingly withered and dark, thin body contained an extremely astonishing explosive power.
Struck by this Divine Ability, Tian Tui's spirit couldn't help but trance for an instant. Even though he had preemptively used a defensive Spell after being hit, Jiang Chen still found the loophole in that instant and slashed his sword down at his left shoulder!
Puchi! In an instant, blood gushed out like a fountain, and an arm flew into the air.
Tian Tui suddenly felt a piercing pain, his mind instantly clearing, and then he realized his left arm was empty!
"Ah!" He couldn't help but scream, barely blocking Jiang Chen's aggressive offensive, and grabbed his severed arm.
He revealed a look of despair and malice, saying viciously: "Jiang Chen, if you don't stop, I will detonate the power of the Earth Vein here and let everyone in the Three Mountains and Nine Marquises Formation perish with you and me!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone trapped in the Formation became ugly.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, please stop. Fellow Daoist Tian is just seeing that we are too exhausted and wants us to rest here for a moment. What can't be discussed slowly after sitting down?"
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, the Buddha says to leave a line for others so we can meet again in the future. This monk feels that makes a lot of sense!"
"Jiang Chen, you still won't stop? Could it be that you want to specifically use someone else's hand to get rid of us?!"
Jiang Chen turned a deaf ear to their words, while Tian Tui looked at Jiang Chen, saying urgently: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you heard the pleas of the Fellow Daoists. You and I have no deep hatred, and I don't know why you suddenly attacked me."
"But I promise, let's just pretend today's events never happened, how about that?"
But Jiang Chen had no intention of stopping, and Tian Tui's body was gradually covered in several wounds, and even the arm he was holding was sliced into two halves by a sword strike.
Tian Tui was furious and no longer wanted to pretend. "Jiang Chen, aren't you afraid that I will really perish together with them!"
Jiang Chen sneered and finally spoke: "You are the one who trapped them; why should I stop?!"
After saying this, his sword momentum became even sharper, with every move aimed directly at vital points!
Even with the support of the Earth Vein's power, losing an arm made it difficult for Tian Tui to parry Jiang Chen.
He was furious at this moment, annoyed that Jiang Chen had attacked without saying a word, and even more annoyed that Abe no Nakamaro had gone back on his word.
Tian Tui couldn't help but let out a long howl: "The Wa nation is truly barbaric and not worth trusting!"
"Abe no Nakamaro, do you think you can stay out of this by not coming out? Do you think the Saint cannot trace the lives of the thousands of people in Chuzhou back to your Wa nation!"
At this point, Tian Tui no longer cared about anything else; even if he were to die, he would drag Abe no Nakamaro down with him.
Hearing the truth about the death of the people in the city, Jiang Chen's expression became even colder. This matter was indeed related to Tian Tui, it was just that he wasn't the main culprit.
And below, Jianzhen's gaze shook upon hearing the name from Tian Tui's mouth.
During the Mid-Autumn Feast, he had felt an evil Aura on this Wa person who changed his name to Abe no Nakamaro, and had intended to investigate this matter slowly after the disaster relief.
But he didn't expect that during this time, he would have caused such a great tragedy.
Meanwhile, in the distance, Abe no Nakamaro was gnashing his teeth in anger upon hearing Tian Tui reveal their collusion in public, and he punched a nearby tree.
"Baka! The people of the Tang State have absolutely no credibility!"
Abe no Nakamaro's gaze shifted and finally moved to Nvba.
Such a powerful Soul, if it could be made into a Shikigami, how powerful would it be?
A battle between heaven and man raged in Abe no Nakamaro's heart. To be honest, he didn't want to give up such an opportunity, so he began to communicate with the consciousness of Emperor Jimmu in his heart.
"Noble and supreme Emperor, there have been some deviations in the plan. Nvba has not been trapped in Tian Tui's Formation. If you were to act, could you deal with Nvba?"
At this moment, an ethereal voice, seemingly from above the Nine Heavens, entered Abe no Nakamaro's mind.
"If I were to act, it would be a seventy-thirty split."
