The words of the Jade Emperor caused Jiang Liu’s face to beco much more unpleasant.
Was Jades Emperor actually here to ask for the Map of Mountains and Rivers back?
Just after he had strengthened it, the Jade Emperor imdiately appeared?
To call it a coincidence, Jiang Liu would never believe it!
So, he deliberately waited until I strengthened it before coming to ask for it back, just to cause trouble for ?
"What? rit Buddha, do you not wish to return the Map of Mountains and Rivers to ?" Seeing Jiang Liu’s unpleasant expression, the Jade Emperor actually felt delighted and opened his mouth to ask Jiang Liu.
"It’s not like that. This Map of Mountains and Rivers was borrowed from the Empress initially, and naturally, it should be returned. However, the Empress said at the ti that it was lent to for a hundred years, and now only six or seven years have passed..." Jiang Liu opened his mouth to respond.
"rit Buddha, it’s not that I don’t trust your words, but the Empress has never ntioned this matter to , and it would be impossible to lend it for a hundred years without any proof, right?" As for Jiang Liu’s explanation, naturally, the Jade Emperor wouldn’t believe it.
Anger!
At this mont, Jiang Liu’s heart was secretly furious.
It’s like renting a house, knowing beforehand it would be rented for thirty years so I’d invest in remodelling it!
But just after the renovation is done, the landlord leaps out to reclaim the house!
This situation would make anyone angry, wouldn’t it?
More importantly, this is not entirely analogous to renting a house, at least with renting there is a contract, but when the Empress lent the Map to , there wasn’t a contract!
Now that the Empress has passed away with no witness, the Jade Emperor’s disbelief also can be justified.
You could say it’s one version versus another at this point!
"Your Majesty, you don’t trust my words! Yet what I said is the truth!"
The hint of anger on his face wasn’t disguised. After a brief silence, Jiang Liu slightly bowed his head and said this line, indicating no further explanation.
The aning is clear from Jiang Liu, you hold onto your truth, I hold onto mine, there’s no backing down.
"So, as a Buddha of the Buddhist Sect, are you planning not to return the borrowed item?" Seeing Jiang Liu’s assertive deanor, the Jade Emperor himself showed a trace of anger.
"Amitabha, from my view, it is you, Your Majesty, who is inconsistent with your words!"
Their masks already dropped, and Jiang Liu wouldn’t easily hand over the Map. Thus, upon hearing the Jade Emperor’s words, Jiang Liu stood firm, confronting him sharply.
Randeng Buddha remained silent.
With the Map of Mountains and Rivers fully enhanced, his mission was considered complete.
Therefore, witnessing Jiang Liu and the Jade Emperor facing off, Randeng Buddha did not intend to interfere!
After all, this was no concern of his.
Yet, observing after exchanging a few words, Jiang Liu completely disregarding the Jade Emperor’s authority, head-on confrontation, Randeng Buddha felt a silent admiration.
Today’s Sandalwood rit Buddha is indeed formidable, not giving any respect to the Jade Emperor, master of the Three Realms!
Forcing to agree to enhance the Map actually doesn’t feel too bad now!
"So, rit Buddha, are you planning to fight ?" The Jade Emperor’s eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at Jiang Liu.
With the God-Forbidding Ring upon him and no other strong companions around, striking now would allow a good chance to severely beat Jiang Liu for revenge and reclaim the enhanced Map. The Jade Emperor was naturally eager to fight.
That’s why he chose this opportune mont to appear!
Because he ca with the intention to fight Jiang Liu, feeling certain of victory!
"Amitabha, as the master of the Three Realms, encountering conflict, does the Jade Emperor only resort to fighting for resolution?"
As the Jade Emperor’s words landed, Jiang Liu, after a slight silence, chanted a Buddha na before speaking.
"Hahaha..."
Hearing Jiang Liu’s words, the Jade Emperor burst into laughter, as if hearing the funniest joke, and continued, "I never expected, Sandalwood rit Buddha, who acts so arrogantly and boldly, is just a paper tiger? When it cos to actual fighting, scared and hesitant?"
"It’s not that I’m timid, it’s just..." Shaking his head, Jiang Liu naturally wouldn’t admit it.
"If it’s not, let’s reveal true skill under our hands then! When both parties feel they are right, it all depends on their capabilities!"
Not giving Jiang Liu a chance to finish, the Jade Emperor raised his hand, the Golden Divine Sword appeared in his hand, leaving this sentence before swinging the sword, turning into a Sword Qi, aiming directly at Jiang Liu.
Although Jiang Liu quickly reacted, imdiately controlling the Green Lotus Buddha Robe’s Defense to block!
However, he couldn’t stop the Jade Emperor’s Sword Qi infused with the Force of Destiny, and was struck by the great Sword Qi, being knocked back directly.
His face pale, the health bar above Jiang Liu’s head decreased by approximately 5% under the Sword Qi attack.
"Not bad, continue!"
A sword descended, exerting so effect, and a smile appeared on the Jade Emperor’s face as he nodded and spoke.
Amidst speaking, he raised the golden divine sword again and let it fall towards Jiang Liu.
Under the Jade Emperor’s attack, Jiang Liu, only having cultivation level and unable to use skills, barely dodged the Jade Emperor’s strikes.
However, defending for too long leads to error; constantly dodging is useless.
"What am I supposed to do now?"
Beside him, Randeng Buddha watched the battle between Jiang Liu and the Jade Emperor with hesitation; he felt that leaving or staying was not right.
Their battle had nothing to do with him, and naturally, Randeng Buddha did not want to intervene and offend the Great Jade Emperor.
However, Sandalwood rit Buddha is still a person of the Buddhist Sect, and at this mont, being suppressed by the Great Jade Emperor, if he does not intervene to assist, or simply turns away and leaves, wouldn’t he appear too heartless?
How could he maintain his position in the Buddhist Sect afterwards?
The situation was awkward; finding it hard to get off the tiger, Randeng Buddha finally spoke: "Your Majesty the Jade Emperor, rit Buddha, hold your actions; can’t you clarify the problem? Must you resort to fighting to solve it?"
"Stop it now, don’t fight anymore!"
Given that watching coldly and turning away was impossible, yet unwilling to imrse in the battle, Randeng Buddha only expressed his stance issue verbally.
Of course, his verbal intervention ant nothing; the Jade Emperor ignored him entirely.
Similarly, neither did Jiang Liu follow Randeng Buddha’s suggestion in face of the Jade Emperor’s relentless assault; stopping would be akin to courting death.
Thus, Randeng Buddha’s words were entirely futile.
"Sigh, shouting from the sidelines won’t help; if you have the guts, co lend a helping hand!"
After fighting for a mont, defending for too long leads to error; Jiang Liu was struck by the golden divine sword several tis, and his health bar decreased to just about sixty percent, reflecting severe injuries.
Feeling annoyed by Randeng Buddha’s occasional shouts, Jiang Liu internally complained.
Of course, complaints aside, knowing that since the situation reached this point, Jiang Liu realized if he kept the God-Forbidding Ring on his hand, he’d truly face grave danger!
"Sigh, given the circumstances, I have no choice but to destroy the God-Forbidding Ring!"
Thinking briefly, Jiang Liu internally sighed, having no other options left.
Whoosh!
Another sword qi charged head-on; upon seeing this, Jiang Liu once again raised his Green Lotus Buddha Robe to defend.
But how could he possibly withstand it?
Under this sword qi pressure, Jiang Liu was forced down into the North Sea’s depths.
Even the seabed trembled, cracking open a vast chasm!
Seeing Jiang Liu’s injuries, the Jade Emperor’s lips slightly curled, and the feeling of beating Jiang Liu made him feel elated.
Under the enormous impact, the seawater was displaced, struggling to flow back.
Standing at the seabed, Jiang Liu instead felt as if he was atop a mountain.
He looked up at the suspended Jade Emperor, wiped the blood from his mouth corner, then raised his hand adorned with the God-Forbidding Ring.
Power surged, striving against the God-Forbidding Ring.
"What is he trying to do?" Observing Jiang Liu’s actions, both the Jade Emperor and Randeng Buddha felt moved.
Naturally understanding, he intended to break the God-Forbidding Ring placed by Tathagata?
"I know of Tathagata’s God-Forbidding Ring; based on his cultivation level, unless reaching quasi-saint, it’s impossible to break it!"
Watching Jiang Liu striving against the God-Forbidding Ring, the Jade Emperor was not in a hurry to attack, instead showing a curious expression towards Jiang Liu’s effort.
The Journey to the West Imasurable Kalpa wasn’t over yet, so the Jade Emperor hadn’t intended to take Jiang Liu’s life today.
It was rely a beat him utterly for revenge, then reclaim the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
Since not harboring killing intent, watching him engage in futile efforts, the Jade Emperor didn’t mind waiting.
Once his efforts fail, naturally, despair would deepen within him!
"Impossible, this God-Forbidding Ring isn’t sothing he can break now!" Randeng Buddha shook his head at Jiang Liu’s futile effort.
Though Jiang Liu’s current strength was potent, it largely depended on Dharma Treasure and Magic Supernatural Power...
Breaking the God-Forbidding Ring requires cultivation level; he’s still quite distant from reaching quasi-saint!
Hence, Randeng Buddha affird Jiang Liu couldn’t break the God-Forbidding Ring!
The thoughts of the Jade Emperor and Randeng Buddha did not sway Jiang Liu; he simply mobilized all his internal power...
