88: Chapter 88 Those who harm my followers shall be executed.

Boom!!!

A massive explosion rang out, as if the heavens were collapsing and the earth was rending.

The Tomb Guardian was seen being slammed directly into the ground by the Buddha Hand!

In an instant, countless cracks spread across the earth as dust and smoke billowed everywhere.

However...

Just as Lin Chuan was preparing to suppress and devour it.

“Clang!!!”

A crisp sword chime suddenly echoed throughout the entire Kunlun Ruins.

Amidst the dust and smoke.

The Tomb Guardian actually stood up slowly, breaking free from the suppression of the Buddha Hand!

At this moment, its armor was shattered, and within its hollow eyes, a sudden gleam of light ignited!

In the next moment, it discarded the long halberd in its hand.

It reached back and grasped the longsword at its waist that had remained unsheathed until now.

“Draw... sword...”

A low, raspy voice carrying an ancient rhythm slowly escaped its mouth.

Qiang!!!

The sword was unsheathed.

Its cold light seemed intent on illuminating the entire world!

A ten-thousand-foot-long azure Sword Qi, like the Milky Way hanging upside down, instantly tore through the Void Realm and slashed toward the massive black Buddha Hand.

This single strike seemed to contain a certain rule of "severing all things."

Wherever the Sword Qi passed, space shattered and rules disintegrated.

Crack!!

Under this strike, the Buddha Hand was sliced cleanly through like tofu!

“S-Rank Seventh-Tier... Tomb Guardian...”

Lin Chuan watched that heaven-shaking Sword Qi through Zhou Kai's perspective, a trace of solemnity rising in his heart.

The strength of this taboo was even greater than he had imagined.

Furthermore... every one of its attacks was as precise and lethal as a sophisticated machine.

Thinking of this, Lin Chuan dared not be careless any longer and instantly expanded his Taboo Domain!

With Zhou Kai as the center.

The surrounding space was instantly shrouded in thick, chaotic black light.

Under the enhancement of the Taboo Domain, the evil buddha phantom hovering behind Zhou Kai instantly became incredibly solid, as if Lin Chuan's true body had descended!

Having just activated the Taboo Domain, Lin Chuan then activated a Taboo Rule... Mountain-Moving Strongman!!

Boom!!!

The Void Realm shattered.

A thousand-foot-tall black giant instantly lunged out from behind the evil buddha phantom.

Clad in heavy armor, it clenched its fist and slammed it violently toward the Tomb Guardian.

Thud!!

A dull sound echoed.

A terrifying shockwave swept out, instantly reducing several nearby floating stone platforms to powder... Meanwhile, on the other side.

The Ghost Controllers of the Yanlong Empire and the Great Xin Dynasty were struggling to hold on.

Although those revived statues were not as strong as the Tomb Guardian, they were superior in numbers.

Moreover, their horror level was also S-Rank!!

The rules of each statue were equally dangerous and incredibly difficult to deal with!!

“Ah!!”

“Help!!”

Faced with the onslaught of these Taboo Statues, screams of agony rose one after another.

Ghost Controllers fell continuously, turning into cold corpses.

Yet, as the strongest combatant in the team, Bao Teng had not made a move.

He stood at the edge of the battlefield, waving his Embroidered Fan and watching it all with cold indifference.

Furthermore, a sliver of his gaze remained fixed intently on Zhou Kai in the distance.

Staring at Zhou Kai's back.

A sinister light flickered in Bao Teng's eyes.

He was waiting for an opportunity!

Waiting for an opportunity to deal with Zhou Kai!

“The chance is here!”

Just as Lin Chuan was controlling the Mountain-Moving Strongman in a stalemate with the Tomb Guardian, and Zhou Kai's attention was entirely focused on the front.

Bao Teng moved.

He silently pulled a broken red eyebrow pencil from his robes.

This eyebrow pencil was named 'Drawing Brows,' and it possessed extremely eerie curse rules.

As long as one drew a stroke on the target's shadow, it could instantly Seal the opponent's movements, or even... directly wipe out their will!

“Die!!”

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Bao Teng's eyes.

He swung his hand violently.

The red eyebrow pencil transformed into a streak of bloody light, shooting toward Zhou Kai's shadow like a venomous snake.

“Hmm?”

Zhou Kai felt a chill down his spine.

He instinctively wanted to dodge, but while controlling Rule Power to combat the Tomb Guardian, he simply could not afford to be distracted.

Swoosh!!

The red light instantly sank into Zhou Kai's shadow.

“Ah!!!”

Zhou Kai immediately let out a shrill scream.

His body suddenly stiffened, as if bound tightly by countless invisible threads.

The Rule Power that had been flowing smoothly also fractured at this moment.

Even the intensity of the rules projected by Lin Chuan was affected!

Boom!!!

The Tomb Guardian seized the opportunity and delivered a sword strike.

The Mountain-Moving Strongman instantly shattered.

The terrifying Sword Qi's momentum remained unabated, slashing heavily into Zhou Kai's body.

“Bang!!”

Zhou Kai was sent flying like a kite with its string cut, crashing heavily onto the ground as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The stone tablet behind him also showed a faint crack.

Seeing this scene, Bao Teng couldn't help but let out a triumphant, wild laugh.

“Hahahaha!!!”

“You damned small fry, you've finally fallen into my hands!”

He walked step by step toward the fallen Zhou Kai, the harpoon in his hand radiating an eerie, cold light.

“Now...”

“No one can save you!”

“Bao... Bao Teng!!”

Zhou Kai struggled to lift his head, his eyes filled with resentment.

“You despicable villain!!”

“Despicable?”

Bao Teng sneered.

“In this world, only those who survive have the right to talk about high-mindedness.”

“So, just die in peace!”

He raised the harpoon and stabbed it violently toward Zhou Kai's heart.

However.

Just as the harpoon was about to touch Zhou Kai.

Buzz—!!!

The space within the entire Kunlun Ruins suddenly trembled violently.

An Aura of rules even more terrifying, oppressive, and distorted descended without warning.

Bao Teng's movements suddenly froze.

He looked up in terror.

He saw that in the void above Zhou Kai.

A massive rift was slowly tearing open.

Inside that rift was pitch black and bottomless.

It was as if it connected to another, even more terrifying world.

And within that endless darkness.

A blurred, hazy, yet infinitely majestic and evil giant buddha face was slowly emerging.

On the buddha face, a pair of eyes streaming with bloody tears gazed indifferently at Bao Teng below.

As if... looking at an insignificant ant.

Gazed upon by the blood-red eyes on the buddha face, Bao Teng's pupils shrank to the size of pinpricks, and his whole body shook like a sieve.

“amitabha buddha...”

Before Bao Teng could think further, a grand yet distorted Buddhist chant suddenly erupted from the rift.

“To harm my Believer...”

“Is to be executed!!”

Boom!!!

As the voice fell.

A true, incredibly solid black Buddha Hand reached out from the rift.

It ignored the spatial suppression of the Kunlun Ruins and ignored all the surrounding rules.

With an Aura that could destroy heaven and earth, it grabbed directly for Bao Teng!

“No!!!”

Bao Teng let out a scream of despair.

He wanted to flee, wanted to resist.

But before that Buddha Hand, all his methods appeared so pale and powerless.

Thud!!

Accompanied by a dull explosion, Bao Teng's vision instantly went black.
