Chapter 1505
1505 Battle Buddha, Killer Buddha?
Traveling Buddha entered the giant steel cage nonchalantly, swaggering forward.
Li Ning had been waiting for some time now. He was wearing a suit of dark red hard armor, and he had a rather impressive aura. His triangular eyes were brimming with hostility.
Upon seeing Traveling Buddha enter, Li Ning coldly snorted. “Today will be you, and on another day it will be that Speed-type companion of yours. Once you’re dead, it won’t be long before he joins you in Hell!”
Traveling Buddha shook his shoulders and frowned. “Oh, is that how you planned to do things? It seems that you’re just treating me as the easier target, that Xia Fan can’t be messed with while I can be. Alright! Since you’re so confident, I’ll just go over and show you what’s up.”
!!
Traveling Buddha’s relaxed attitude left Li Ning extremely unhappy. His eyes exploded with murderous energy, as if he wanted to eat Traveling Buddha alive.
At that moment, one of the four high elders, the one with the hawk nose, stood up.
The hawk-nosed elder looked around and loudly said, “Servants of the City of the Four Kings, let us pray to the Four Gods.”
At these words, all the residents immediately bowed their heads and prayed. Xia Fan found it rather laughable. These servants of the Four Great Clans regarded their masters as gods, even making a religion out of it!
Everyone knew that the Four Great Clans had lost to the Skywings. What right did they have to call themselves gods?
But this ceremony also put Xia Fan on guard. Perhaps Drunken Buddha was right. It had been forty thousand years, and the Four Great Clans had never revealed themselves. There had to be something fishy going on…
When the prayer ended, the hawk-nosed elder said, “Now, it is time for the Blood Battle between Traveling Buddha and Li Ning…”
The elder gave a long speech, but it could ultimately be summed up as this: it was a battle to the death!
In any society, the lower class always represented ignorance. They didn’t care why Traveling Buddha and Li Ning were fighting, only about the results. The result was that the boring life in the City of the Four Kings was finally getting a little excitement.
With an order from the hawk-nosed elder, the battle began, but neither Traveling Buddha nor Li Ning elected to make the first move. They stared at each other, killing intent rapidly rising around them.
Gritting his teeth, Li Ning bellowed, “Buddha! Today, I will make you pay for the crime of killing my little brother with your life! But if you get down on your knees and beg, I can consider leaving your body intact. Otherwise, do not blame me for not respecting your ancestor Nine Provinces Buddha and killing his descendant!”
Traveling Buddha spat on the ground emphatically, “Ptuh!”
That was Traveling Buddha’s answer. His brazen audacity and carefree attitude truly did make him easy to hate.
Li Ning roared suddenly and raised his hands to the air, as if he was lifting up some immensely heavy object.
Xia Fan knew that Li Ning was absorbing water molecules from the air. The Water Devil was an advanced water ability, the ability to control water mixed in with a demonic nature.
With that move, a beast made of water began to form in the air. It soon took the form of a worm.
This was Li Ning’s Water Devil. Water Devils had no fixed form and could change into whatever they pleased.
Water Devils were also intelligent, but they had the intelligence of a demon, cruel and ruthless!.
Whoosh!~
Li Ning leaned forward, merging with the Water Devil. Water molecules engulfed his body. It looked a little strange, like he was sinking into a lake.
Li Ning was now merged with the Water Devil. Unlike a close-combat warrior like Xia Fan, Li Ning did not need to personally take part in the battle. His Water Devil would fight on his behalf, slaughtering his foes. All Li Ning needed to do was give it orders.
At the same time, Traveling Buddha’s body radiated a golden light, the famous Battle Buddha Golden Light. Under its protection, Traveling Buddha possessed the invincible body of a Battle Buddha. Only existences akin to powerful laser weapons could hope to hurt him.
The battle began in a way no one expected. Li Ning’s giant devil suddenly unfurled two wings. The water wings came together like two giant hands, Traveling Buddha caught between them.
Traveling Buddha retreated rapidly, but unfortunately, Li Ning’s Water Devil had explosively grown larger, reaching a thousand meters in length in a flash!
The cage they were fighting in was only one thousand meters high. In this way, the Water Devil occupied the entire cage, even extending past it. After all, it was a devil of water. The openings in the cage were more than large enough for it to pass through.
Even more shocking was that the Water Devil had entirely filled the cage with its body. Traveling Buddha had nowhere to run, and was engulfed by the water. Although he had his golden light, it seemed as insignificant as an ant in front of the Water Devil.
“Li Ning truly lives up to his status as an Advanced Star River War God. This Traveling Buddha is dead for sure!” a spectator next to Xia Fan commented.
Xia Fan was stunned, his face paling as he hoped that he had heard wrong. Li Ning was a Star River rank War God? How could that be!? He could be no more than twenty-eight years old!
What did it mean to be at Advanced Star River rank? It meant that Li Ning was one step from becoming a Legendary War God! A legend of an era who would attain immortality!
Traveling Buddha was only at Advanced Star Domain rank, three whole levels beneath Li Ning! This gap was as vast as that between heaven and earth, like comparing the sun and moon! There was no crossing that chasm!
Xia Fan had once asked Traveling Buddha, “Do you know what rank that guy is at?”
Traveling Buddha had casually replied, “I don’t know, but he should only be a little higher than you.”
There was nothing to be done. Traveling Buddha was just that sort of relaxed guy. He was even too lazy to find out what rank the guy was. Traveling Buddha had said that he was a little farther along than Xia Fan, and since Xia Fan was at the Intermediate Star Domain rank, Xia Fan had believed that TB was at Advanced Star Domain rank.
Xia Fan’s palms started to sweat. His Speed ability had the power to fight above its level, but Xia Fan wasn’t sure if Traveling Buddha could do this!
His rich battle experience told him that Traveling Buddha wasn’t afraid of butting heads with this enemy. His greatest weakness was long-range attackers or controllers. After all, the Battle Buddha Golden Light granted him a diamond body, but Traveling Buddha lacked speed and long-range attacks, a classic close-combat warrior.
The situation was dire!
Traveling Buddha was under Li Ning’s control, and the Water Devil began to compress.
More and more water molecules gathered on the Water Devil, but the Water Devil was getting smaller and smaller, denser and denser.
Clack~
Under the immense water pressure, Traveling Buddha’s Koro alloy combat blade suddenly snapped. That was the toughest metal in the universe! It was an indicator of how much pressure Traveling Buddha was under.
Traveling Buddha’s golden light was like an impervious shell. Right now, Li Ning was using water pressure to crush this shell and mash Traveling Buddha into a paste!
“Die!” Li Ning roared.
He seemed to think that victory was in his grasp, but Xia Fan suddenly stood up from his seat in complete shock.
Traveling Buddha’s golden light was getting stronger and stronger, and there was even a golden thread leaving Traveling Buddha, slowly crawling through the Water Devil toward Li Ning, much like a cunning snake!
“What’s going on!?”
“That golden light is like a bug! A terrifying parasite!”
Traveling Buddha faintly smiled, a look of amusement on his face.
Li Ning was aghast and increased his ability, adding to the water pressure. But that golden light merely drew closer and closer. It seemed like Traveling Buddha was doing this on purpose, taking his time killing Li Ning so that he could feel fear.
Up in the crowd, Jane was extremely nervous, clenching her fists while her legs shivered. She kept on asking the elder wearing the straw hat next to her, “Grandpa Luolin, is Traveling Buddha going to die? Is he going to die?”
Luolin chuckled softly and stood up. He didn’t seem to like the sunlight that much, wearing a straw hat and even sunglasses.
“Relax. Traveling Buddha won’t die,” Luolin said gently.
“Why? He seems to be completely suppressed,” Jane asked nervously.
Luolin shrugged. “Suppressed? There are few people in the universe who can suppress Traveling Buddha. After all, he’s no longer a Battle Buddha, but a Killer Buddha!”
After saying that, Luolin walked away. He felt there was no need to keep watching, muttering to himself, “An amusing fellow. He’s already a Killer Buddha, but his personality is like that of a child.”
