Chapter 546 - 540: The Plan Succeeds
Guanyin Bodhisattva is a Bodhisattva.
Treasure Tree Bodhisattva is also a Bodhisattva.
However, the gap between Bodhisattvas can be worlds apart.
In the World Honored One Sect, Tier Two Peak is considered a Buddha, and Tier Two is referred to as Bodhisattva.
Treasure Tree Bodhisattva, having just entered Tier Two, is a newly appointed Bodhisattva.
Guanyin Bodhisattva originally was late-stage Tier Two, already an established Bodhisattva.
However, not long ago, Guanyin Bodhisattva ascended to the Tier Two Peak.
Logically, after ascending to Tier Two Peak, one can be promoted to Buddha.
In the World Honored One Sect, the title of Buddha requires personal bestowal by the World Honored.
Recently, the World Honored has been overwhelmed by Elder Bai and others, having no time to bestow the title of Buddha upon Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Thus, Guanyin Bodhisattva became the Sect’s only Bodhisattva at the Tier Two Peak realm.
To say Guanyin Bodhisattva is the strongest Bodhisattva in the sect is not an exaggeration!
Guanyin Bodhisattva made a move against Lady Ming King, and Treasure Tree Bodhisattva took on the form of a pine tree, with the support of numerous Vajras, to protect Lady Ming King.
At this moment, Treasure Tree Bodhisattva was also feeling anxious.
Treasure Tree Bodhisattva thought, "I don’t know if I can withstand this."
Yet, whether or not they can hold on, they must hold on.
Even if they die, they must die in front of Lady Ming King.
If they were to watch Lady Ming King die before their eyes, once the World Honored returns, things won’t be as simple as just death.
By then, the World Honored will make sure they cannot survive nor die in peace.
Perhaps even imprison their souls, subjecting them to eternal torment.
Seeing this mere Treasure Tree Bodhisattva daring to obstruct her, Guanyin Bodhisattva could not help but snort coldly: "Hmph!"
"Overestimating your abilities."
Guanyin Bodhisattva placed a Glazed Buddha Palm on Treasure Tree Vajra’s true form.
The golden light energy shield covered in scriptures on the outermost layer of the pine tree shattered like glass on impact.
"Puff!"
"Puff! Puff!"
Immediately, the sound of vomiting blood resounded at the scene, as numerous Arhats vomited blood one after another.
The golden light energy shield enveloping the pine tree was the blessing given to Treasure Tree Bodhisattva by numerous Arhats.
Now, with the blessing broken, they naturally suffered a backlash.
Guanyin Bodhisattva, with just one move, injured all the Arhats.
This demonstrated the vast difference between the Tier Two Peak and Tier Three, like heaven and earth.
However, things have only just begun.
Guanyin Bodhisattva’s Glazed Buddha Palm continued forward, smashing through the golden light scripture energy shield before landing on the pine tree form of Treasure Tree Bodhisattva.
"Wow."
"Wow, wow."
After the Glazed Buddha Palm struck the pine tree, the pine tree shook continuously, with many pine needles falling to the ground one by one.
As the pine needles fell and the pine tree swayed, Treasure Tree Bodhisattva switched back and forth between tree form and human form.
Finally, unable to maintain the true form, he reverted back to human form, collapsing to the ground.
Treasure Tree Bodhisattva lay on the ground, vomiting large mouthfuls of fresh blood, close to failing.
Lady Ming King: "???"
Witnessing this scene, Lady Ming King was almost petrified with fear.
With just one move, Guanyin Bodhisattva resolved both Treasure Tree Bodhisattva and numerous Vajras.
Now, there wasn’t anyone around her capable of protecting her.
At this moment, Lady Ming King was truly panicking, her previous arrogance utterly vanished.
"Guan..."
"Guanyin Bodhisattva, don’t be reckless."
"Think it through, I am willing to release Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva!"
"Additionally, I can overlook today’s departure from the sect, I am willing to help you rejoin!" Lady Ming King negotiated with Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Lady Ming King thought, first agree to save her own life.
Once she has the opportunity, she will settle the account slowly.
This matter will be accounted for clearly one day.
That Guanyin dared to betray the sect, dared to act against her, even imprisonment in Buddha Prison would be the lightest punishment.
However, at this point, Guanyin Bodhisattva certainly wouldn’t waste time with Lady Ming King.
"Stop speaking, do you take me for a fool!"
"Lady Ming King, I will capture you now and exchange you with Medicine King Buddha for them!"
"After all, I’ve left the sect, we can just have Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva leave too!"
After saying this, Guanyin Bodhisattva resolutely made a move against Lady Ming King.
However, as Guanyin Bodhisattva made her move, she already noticed that Joyful Buddha and Golden Wheel Buddha were very close.
Indeed, just as Guanyin Bodhisattva acted, a loud voice called out: "Guanyin, how bold you are to act against Lady Ming King."
"Here comes Joyful Buddha."
While Joyful Buddha shouted, Golden Wheel Buddha was silent, but his golden wheel had already slashed towards Guanyin Bodhisattva’s hand.
Guanyin Bodhisattva reached for Lady Ming King, as Golden Wheel Buddha’s golden wheel attacked.
At this moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva could only withdraw her hand, lest her hand be severed by the golden wheel.
With no choice, Guanyin Bodhisattva withdrew her hand, reaching for a whip artifact, to strike at Golden Wheel Buddha’s golden wheel.
"Pa!"
"Pa! Pa!"
The whip continuously lashed at the golden wheel, causing its spinning speed to increase, yet it could never get close to Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Because, Guanyin Bodhisattva constantly controlled the golden wheel’s direction using the whip.
Guanyin Bodhisattva striking the golden wheel with a whip resembled the childhood game of spinning tops during New Year festivities.
Golden Wheel Buddha used the golden wheel to stall Guanyin Bodhisattva, he and Joyful Buddha finally arrived, standing in front of Lady Ming King, shielding her.
Seeing her two backers arrive, and knowing these two Buddhas became Tier Two Peak much earlier than Guanyin Bodhisattva, increased her confidence.
Especially in a two-versus-one scenario, these two Buddhas would absolutely gain the upper hand.
Thinking this, Lady Ming King immediately gained courage, pointing at Guanyin Bodhisattva, said: "Joyful Buddha, Golden Wheel Buddha, detain Guanyin for me at once."
"It’s one thing for her to act against our group, but she dared to betray the sect."
After protecting Lady Ming King, Joyful Buddha then persuaded, "Guanyin, there’s still time to turn back!"
"Return with me to the sect, await the World Honored’s punishment."
Turn back?
Guanyin thought, there’s no way back now.
Rather than being ostracized in the sect by Medicine King Buddha, it’s better to rebel alongside her friend Peacock Great Ming King more decisively.
"Humph!" Thinking this, Guanyin Bodhisattva snorted coldly and said: "Different paths, no mutual plans."
"If you have the skill, capture me back to Buddha Prison."
