Chapter 1364: Thirty breaths

Tiger, my esteemed officials. How has this year been treating you all"A chorus of agreement rose up from below.Li Chen waved his hand, and the Taihe Hall instantly fell silent."Technically, this being...Chapter 1364: Thirty Breaths

The distance between the two was more than twenty meters.

As soon as he reached out, Li Chen felt a gigantic hand, like the sky and the earth were collapsing upon him, coming down to strike him.

He heard the gravely wounded Xu Wei, disregarding life and death, leading the remaining Jinyiwei and martial monks in a desperate effort to rescue. But immediately after that, there was a deafening roar.

The big hand vanished, and in front of Li Chen stood Gong Huiyu.

Gong Huiyu's white clothes fluttered, her breath rising and falling unevenly. It was clear that her recent attack had taken a toll on her.

With one palm, she deflected Jue'an's attack. Palace Huiyu gazed at Jue'an and said, "Master has already taken that step"

Jue'an looked at Gong Huiyu and calmly said, "White Lotus Sect demoness..."

“With you here, this monk can’t help but strive to uphold justice and eradicate demons.”

Gong Huiyu's face was expressionless as he said, "Beishaolin claims to be the orthodox Buddhist sect and the leader of the righteous path in the world. Yet, you Beishaolin can't even compare to Nanshaolin in terms of Buddhism, and your claim of being the leader of the righteous path pales in comparison to Longhushan Tianshi Dao. To act so hypocritical is truly disgusting."

Jue An calmly said, "As long as I am here today, no one can stop me. No matter what you say, the outcome will be the same."

After finishing his words, Jue'an took off his monk's robe, folded it carefully, and placed it by the roadside.

He took off his monk's robes, and in the moment he bent over to rise, his whole aura soared. The heavens and earth seemed to churn and roil around him.

Li Chen saw with his own eyes that the sky behind Jue'an darkened visibly, as if clouds were gathering. Within those clouds, a wrathful Vajra Buddha statue seemed to appear and disappear, like a god descending, bestowing blessings upon Jue'an.

Li Chen has seen immortals in the terrestrial realm fight. The day when Jie Wang and Jian Xin clashed was also an occasion that caused heaven and earth to react with strange phenomena.

Gong Huiyu's expression grew increasingly solemn. "You have indeed crossed that threshold," she said, "Earthly Immortal, Master Jue-An"

Jie An clasped his hands together, his voice sweeping in from all directions.

"Amitabha Buddha."

A Buddha's chant echoed, and the sky above exploded with dark clouds. Countless golden lights slanted down from the gaps between the clouds, falling onto Jue An's body and coating him in a thin layer of gold. This layer of gold made him look identical to the faintly visible Buddha statue behind him in the sky.

He's going to make a move.

Gong Huiyu's voice softly drifted into Li Chen's ears.

He has crossed that threshold, now a true Earth Immortal. Though the weakest among them, he is beyond my reach. At most, I can only hold him for thirty breaths for you.

After a moment's pause, Gong Huiyu said again: "Thirty breaths later, each of you will face your fate."

Li Chen furrowed his brows, without responding.

Whatever you say now is useless.

Faced with a celestial being of Earthly Immortality, his fire gun and the Qin Divine Thunder in his hand were no different from toys.

If all the monks were here, with the techniques left behind by Jie Wàng, they might be able to put up a fight.

But the number of monks was not enough to form a proper battle formation.

Besides, unless the number reaches a certain scale and causes a qualitative change, facing a powerful Earth Immortal is meaningless, just a pale figure.

Thirty breaths!

What can I do!

Li Chen must find a way to counter Jue'an within thirty breaths.

But this is almost impossible.

No matter how clever one may be, they are still useless against an overwhelming difference in strength.

For the first time in his life, Li Chen felt that things were so difficult that he couldn't solve them. little during their reigns. History books only briefly mention them. Over four hundred years of imperial rule, there have been over thirty emperors, and perhaps only a handful left enough of a mark...
