A burst of slow footsteps came from the palace of the second elder, revealing the strong confidence of the person who came.
Zhao Yun and the abbot looked in the direction of the sound, and saw the slightly stooped figure of the second elder appearing in their eyes.
The second elder's gaze only stayed on Zhao Yun for a brief moment, and then moved to the abbot, with a hint of surprise clearly showing in his eyes.
"I didn't expect it to be you." The second elder said in a deep voice.
The abbot said compassionately: "Everything is for the eternal survival of Fohai Temple, so for the sake of Fohai Temple, can you ask the second elder to sacrifice?"
The second elder sneered and said: "If you really ask me to make sacrifices for Fohai Temple, I will certainly do it without hesitation. But, are you really doing it for Fohai Temple and not for your own selfish desires?"
"Stop talking nonsense. If you want to take my life, just use your own life in exchange!"
The abbot clasped his hands together and said with obvious sadness in his eyes: "Second Elder, I'm offended! Fohai Temple will always remember your fearless dedication!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Two towering momentum suddenly erupted, and large amounts of sand and dust were blown up, turning the area into hazy chaos.
The second elder looked around and sneered: "In order to kill me, you are really well prepared, but it's a pity that it's not enough!"
The momentum they released was intercepted by an invisible barrier after rising to a high altitude.
A pitch-black light shield vaguely emerged in the sky, covering the area without missing a beat, unable to release even the slightest fluctuation of power.
The abbot's clasped hands suddenly clenched, and bright golden light burst out from between the fingers, reflecting the abbot's stern face.
"Celestial Dragon Swastika Seal!" the abbot roared.
The body rushed forward quickly and punched the second elder in the head.
The abbot, who usually looked soft and good-natured, exploded at this moment, and his image changed drastically. What stood out in his whole person was a sense of violence.
The figure of the second elder stood still, as if he had not reacted to the abbot's attack at all, and his feet were rooted to the ground.
"boom--"
To Zhao Yun's surprise, the abbot's punch actually hit the second elder's face firmly, shattering the second elder's nose in an instant.
But the abbot's face didn't look very good, because there wasn't much real feeling in the place he touched.
It was obviously a punch that landed on the face of the person in front of him, and even showed a corresponding effect, but the place where he touched felt a sense of nothingness.
The second elder's mouth opened and closed rapidly, and a large number of Sanskrit words blurted out. A burst of dazzling golden light suddenly shone in a three-meter radius centered on the two, forming a powerful formation.
"Golden Light Confinement Formation!"
"Buddha said: The true nature is nothingness!"
Amidst the murmur of the second elder, the abbot felt that his body was suddenly unable to move. It seemed as if there were all kinds of extremely sticky and soft things around his body, and he couldn't break free even if he tried hard.
At this moment, a layer of transparent light began to squirm on the body that was paying attention. Every time it spread to an area, the body there would disappear silently.
First the fingers, then the palms, until the arms...
And at the same time, the disappeared part will reappear on one side of the abbot's body, as if the abbot's body is being used as raw material to copy another body.
The second elder said in a low voice: "I have been waiting for your arrival for a long time. As expected, you are really confident in your own strength, but in front of me, I will tell you which part you rely on. Strength is nothing to me."
"Coming here is your biggest mistake, and it is also a fresh start for Fohai Temple."
The abbot watched his body gradually disappear, but his expression was very calm, and he said calmly: "So this is the trick you just played? It is indeed wonderful, but why do you think this trick is invincible?"
"If you are truly invincible, you should be the great elder."
"In addition, the excuse you use most is probably to use Fohai Temple's own strength to survive this crisis, rather than attracting wolves into the house, right?"
"But how can you be sure that this is not your selfish selfishness? You don't want others to interfere, you want to completely control Fohai Temple, and you won't regret it even if it allows Fohai Temple to decline because of it?"
The second elder's calm face suddenly showed a trace of anger, and he shouted sternly: "You still haven't woken up until now? Forget it, I will forgive you now, and let you go and apologize to the first elder and the others!"
"Golden Buddha Palm!"
The second elder's right hand suddenly struck out towards the abbot, blazing waves lingered over his palm prints, and the scorching golden light stung people's eyes.
Waves of Buddha's chanting sounded from all directions, and the palm struck by the second elder expanded rapidly, and soon turned into a giant palm as tall as a person, slapping the abbot who was very close in front of him.
"Huh, are you angry because you were told the central thing? You just want to kill me with this palm. Are you thinking too much? After all, I am also the abbot!"
Golden light suddenly shined on the abbot's body, and endless Sanskrit writings surrounded him. The transparent substances stuck to his body disappeared without a trace in an instant, and even part of the body that was carved around him was instantly removed. It was wiped out, and then the original limbs were "grown" again on the abbot's body.
"The true nature is nothingness? It's a good trick, but it's a pity that it doesn't work for me."
The abbot sneered, and the Sanskrit words surrounding him suddenly condensed into a Sanskrit Buddha staff, and struck the giant palm with a bang.
"Crack, click, click!"
Layers of cracks appeared on the surface of the giant palm, and then it shattered with a crack, turning into countless gold powder and disintegrating.
The abbot's feet slammed on the ground, and his body suddenly burst out, and the Buddhist staff hit the second elder hard.
The second elder's pupils shrank violently, and he said with some disbelief: "How is it possible? How did you break free from the imprisonment?!"
The abbot sneered: "As long as I have strong enough power, no amount of restraint can restrain me."
"So wake up, Second Elder, and take your stupidity to the bliss!"
A drop of cold sweat slipped from the second elder's forehead, his eyes flashed with cold light, and he said solemnly: "I admit that I underestimated you, but you were still careless after all."
"Buzz!"
A slight hum suddenly came from beneath their feet, and a formation appeared on the surface of the golden light confinement array again.
The companion made a hissing sound, and golden chains suddenly rushed out of the new formation that emerged, wrapping around the abbot's body with a click.
At the same time, behind the abbot, a huge golden pillar suddenly appeared, like a magnet, firmly adsorbing the abbot to the surface.
Then circles and circles of chains tied the abbot to the golden pillar, making him unable to move.
The abbot twisted his body, but couldn't break free at all, and his face suddenly became ugly.
The second elder sneered: "What, now who do you think will be the first to ascend to the bliss of the afterlife?"
The abbot looked at the second elder, sighed, and suddenly gave up struggling, and said calmly: "Have you forgotten that I am not the only one you have to deal with."
"Master, how long do you want to watch the show? If you don't take action, if I am killed, your plan will not be easily realized, right?"
"Huh?" The second elder's eyes suddenly fell on Zhao Yun, he looked at it carefully and said, "You actually expect a person who is responsible for a mission to be your helper? How ridiculous!"
"Even if Maplewoods Town is really extremely powerful, it won't be so powerful that even a random envoy sent out will be invincible, right?"
The second elder did not feel a strong threat from Zhao Yun. In short, it was just a decoration.
Without the blessing of Maplewood Town's envoy status, the second elder would have killed this unscrupulous guy in the lobby long ago.
The second elder sneered: "It's not easy to keep you alive until now. Anyway, as long as you leave Fohai Temple immediately, I can treat everything before as if it never happened, otherwise I will send you to death now!"
Zhao Yun looked at the second elder's face with a half-smile, and chuckled: "Yeah, that's not possible. I worked so hard to arrange these things. It would be a pity to leave now."
"Besides, I can't let you kill the abbot. He promised me many things."
"If those things are not completed, it will make me very distressed."
The second elder's expression suddenly turned cold and he said: "In this case, I can only kill you. Anyway, it is normal for a few people to disappear while walking in the desert. Just tell the public that you have never been to Fohai Temple!"
Zhao Yun clapped his hands and praised: "Tsk, what a great idea."
"However, your confidence that you can kill me really makes me want to laugh, hahaha."
There was a hint of joking on Zhao Yun's face. In Fenglin Town, apart from Sima Yi, he was probably the best at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
Normally, Zhao Yun would completely restrain his aura. After all, he is not a person who likes to publicize, so it would be more to his liking to let others ignore him.
So when the second elder examined him, due to the gap in strength between them, the second elder did not realize Zhao Yun's true strength at all, which led to the funny statement just now.
Zhao Yun took a deep breath and smiled suddenly at the second elder.
"I'm sorry I didn't let you see clearly just now. How about you see what my strength is now?"
With that said, Zhao Yun lifted his cover, and a powerful force burst out instantly.
This power may still be a little behind the abbot and the second elder, but the gap is very small.
If the second elder wanted to easily deal with Zhao Yun, it would be impossible.
And now he is still clamping down on the abbot in his hand. It is said that he is clamping down, but in fact it is just that he has a slight advantage and suppresses the abbot.
If an enemy with similar strength suddenly appears at this time, the result can be imagined.
