Chapter 219: Entering The Game With My Own Body
The fight between the three of them, Earth Store Bodhisattva, and Zhong Kui was so intense it shook the heavens and earth, causing the sky to darken and the clouds to change.
Where fists and palms met, dazzling beams of light erupted, like lightning tearing through the sky; sword qi crisscrossed, and a sharp aura swept the surroundings, shattering rocks and reversing rivers wherever it passed.
The entire Underworld trembled violently under this fierce battle, the earth cracked, and peaks collapsed. The incredibly strong ground was now as fragile as paper. Countless buildings were affected and gradually became blurred and indistinct.
Innumerable yin souls were thrown into extreme panic and pain, fleeing in all directions to escape the aftermath of the battle.
Despite this, many unfortunate beings were still caught in the chaos, letting out mournful cries.
Fortunately, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, with a heart of compassion, used his immeasurably powerful magical might to cast a barrier.
An indestructible golden shield enveloped the entire battlefield, successfully containing the residual power of the intense sorcery within a specific range.
Celestial Master Zhong Kui also knew that the battle must not affect the innocent residents of the Underworld. Without hesitation, he quickly split off a clone to assist Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in reinforcing this crucial barrier.
Now, it seems I, the Big Brother, appear to be the heinous villain.
However, this is also a helpless move for Big Brother.
If I didn’t muster the courage to fight them, how could they have put aside their past grievances and worked together to deal with me?
And how could they have temporarily set aside all their previous disputes?
In the process of fighting side-by-side like this, they will certainly develop a certain degree of trust in each other. After all, no matter what disagreements and contradictions they had before, in the end, they have always been selflessly dedicating themselves to all sentient beings. Now, facing my strong intervention, and acting as if I don’t care about the life and death of the Underworld, they naturally choose to unite and fight against me together.
This move is called entering the fray oneself, to triumph by half a move against fate.
If you want two people to unite, then another powerful enemy must appear to touch upon their common interests. Their interest is for all sentient beings, and I must appear to be completely indifferent to the lives and deaths of sentient beings, to force them to unite against me.
Not long after, the sounds of intense fighting here, like thunder, spread to every corner of the Underworld.
These earth-shattering noises naturally alerted the important figures of the Underworld, including King Yama and the renowned Ten Great Yin Envoys, along with other high officials of the Underworld. They rushed towards the scene of the fight at lightning speed, their faces all grave.
When these people arrived in a hurry and looked closely, they were shocked to see that it was me, Earth Store, and Zhong Kui fighting intensely. Upon seeing this, everyone was stunned, as if petrified on the spot, their minds blank, completely unable to comprehend the situation.
Godfather King Yama was even more terrified, his face turning pale, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. He anxiously shouted at me inside the barrier, his voice filled with fear and helplessness: “Son~! My dear son! I beg you, please stop fighting~! Daddy really can’t handle the great disaster you’ve caused~! Oh my goodness~! If you were just fighting Zhong Kui, Daddy would have turned a blind eye and said nothing, after all, we’re all family. But… but how could you fight Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? He is a highly respected high monk of the Buddhist sect! What if he gets angry and calls all those people from the Western Heaven and Buddhism? How could our Underworld withstand that? At that time, the entire Underworld would likely fall into eternal damnation!”
“Younger Brother~!” Black Impermanence shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice as loud as a great bell. “Brother Bai absolutely supports you, go all out~!” He waved his Wailing Stick, his face full of excitement.
At the same time, Black Impermanence, unwilling to be outdone, roared: “A Xin~! Brother Hei also fully supports you~! Don’t hesitate, just do it, beat them until they’re in disarray.” His sinister eyes flickered with fanatical light, as if he had already seen the miserable sight of Earth Store and Zhong Kui being defeated by me.
“Moo~!” Ox-Head let out a low and powerful roar, “Brother Niu supports you to the end, keep it up, Brother!” He raised his thick arms and waved them vigorously at me.
“Hiss~!” Horse-Face flicked his long tail, exhaling a puff of hot air, “Brother Ma is also on your side, give it your all, Young Man!”
It’s not that the four of them are unreasonable. Such a grand scene is rare to see in hundreds of millions of years. Only someone like me, Big Brother, could do such a thing. Who would dare to do this normally?
I smiled and waved at them.
Just then, calls came from afar from Jin Buque and Xue Pan:
“Big Brother~! We’re here~! How can we get into this damn barrier?” Jin Buque looked anxiously at the barrier, stomping his feet in agitation.
Xue Pan also scratched his ears and cheeks, shouting loudly, “Yes, Big Brother, quickly find a way to let us in, let’s fight side-by-side and help you out~!”
Damn it! Look, they are my own brothers. They don’t care who I’m fighting, their first thought isn’t to stop me, but to fight with me.
But this is not entirely others’ fault. After all, my godfather works in this field and is a person of standing. What else could he do? If he joined me in causing trouble in the Underworld, wouldn’t it turn the heavens upside down?
Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face also work for my godfather. Since godfather isn’t participating, they wouldn’t dare even if they had ten times the courage!
But Jin Buque and Xue Pan are completely different! They are the ones I shared hardships with, bowed my head with, and became sworn brothers with back then. We have a friendship forged in shared life-and-death moments! No matter whether I, the elder brother, am right or wrong, they won’t fuss over it. They will only wholeheartedly support me to the end!
I raised my hand, my movements gentle yet carrying an undeniable aura, and gestured towards Jin Buque and Xue Pan, signaling them not to interfere in the current matter for the time being.
Immediately after, I exerted a sudden burst of strength and fiercely grabbed at the seemingly empty void!
In an instant, an intangible force was drawn by me. The Nether River, which had been flowing calmly, seemed to receive a great summons and began to surge wildly in my direction! The momentum was so fierce, like ten thousand horses galloping, it was terrifying.
As more and more water from the Nether River gathered here, it began to continuously compress and fuse with each other, and under my control, it was gradually compressed into a peculiar and unique shape—like an incredibly cool electric guitar, shimmering with an extremely dark glow, flowing with the power of mysterious runes.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Big Brother’s mouth, revealing a confident grin. Then, I reached out and gently strummed the strings, adjusting the pitch.
Crisp and pleasant string notes sounded, echoing in the silent space.
I stepped my left foot onto a large rock and swept it away with force.
A low and earth-shattering roar sounded: “Buzz~!” This sound was like a great bell and drum, resounding through the heavens, deafening.
