The saying goes, "Know your enemy and yourself, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles." Tu Hongwu dared to block the entrance of the Buddhist Sect, but how could the Buddhist Sect not investigate Tu Hongwu's situation?
Do you think they really aren't afraid of Su Mo appearing suddenly?
They are afraid, extrely afraid even.
It's precisely because of this fear that they don't dare to attack Tu Hongwu.
But it's not just that they don't dare to attack him; it's a mutually exploitative relationship.
Tu Hongwu uses the reputation of the Buddhist Sect to broadcast his whereabouts to the world.
And isn't the Buddhist Sect also constantly monitoring Tu Hongwu's every move?
The huge commotion earlier was just a tactic to confuse Tu Hongwu.
The main reason is that the three factions within the Buddhist Sect currently cannot co to an agreent; so want to kill Tu Hongwu directly, while others want to capture him alive.
Killing him is actually very simple; a single slap would make the entire Dragon Sect disappear instantly.
However, if they wish to capture him, that would be more troubleso.
It is precisely because of this that so much ti has been wasted, and so many elaborate sches have been devised.
So people are afraid that if Tu Hongwu sees there's no escape, he might go down fighting, risking everything. Although the fish is dead, the net might not necessarily break.
But what they want is not a dead fish.
If what they end up with is a dead fish, everything would beco very simple.
Killing Tu Hongwu is easy, and for Su Mo to kill them would also be simple.
So, everything is very simple.
A massive Buddhist image waved a hand in mid-air, and 200 Dragon Sect mbers floated in the air. In just a brief mont, runes covered their bodies, immobilizing them, while a gigantic cleaver and a countdown tir hovered above their heads.
Anyone with discerning eyes can see that when the ti is up, the cleaver will fall directly.
This is what they call the "Buddhist virtue of benevolence"!
In the void, Old Long's expression turned incredibly grim because he found himself like a fish trapped in a tank.
Although he could clearly see the outside world, he couldn't escape no matter what.
Moreover, this space was continuously shrinking; soon, they would inevitably be captured.
"What to do!"
Old Long asked anxiously.
"Hand over. They won't dare to kill , but you might not be so lucky.
If I'm still with you, they won't dare to kill anyone.
But after you hand over, whether they or you survive, or what you beco if you do survive, I can't guarantee."
Tu Hongwu's words plunged Old Long into deep thought once again.
He was acutely aware of the Buddhist Sect's thods; in just 20 short years, it had risen from a small force in the Little Cosmos to a top sect in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, showcasing their formidable thods.
Before Old Long could speak, Tu Hongwu spoke again: "There's another way; you can kidnap ."
"???"
Old Long was baffled at hearing this. What do you an I should kidnap you?
Do you think I'm not dying quickly or miserably enough?
You want to kidnap you!
"Listen to , I now place my life in your hands. Threaten them; make them release the others, or just kill , then find another way; if it doesn't work out, hand over..."
Before Tu Hongwu could finish, Old Long imdiately rejected: "No way!"
"Listen, even if you don't hand over now, as this space continues to shrink, we still won't be able to escape! Do as I say!"
A mont later, Old Long's elderly voice echoed from the void: "Release the Dragon Sect mbers, or I'll kill Tu Hongwu now!"
As those words were spoken, not just the Dragon Sect mbers, but even the Buddhist Sect mbers were stunned.
Weren't they supposed to be allies?
Weren't they supposed to escape together?
Using the life of an ally to threaten the enemy, what kind of strange tactic is this?
If such a threat actually works...
The Dragon Sect mbers were tense, trembling, not daring to say anything.
The giant Buddha statue also paused in the air, silent for a long ti.
Apparently, he hadn't expected the other party to pull such a stunt either.
Although he could guess that this was a plan they had conspired, and Long would surely not kill Tu Hongwu.
But they didn't dare to gamble.
Even a cornered rabbit will bite, let alone a dragon.
After a long silence, the giant Buddha statue slowly spoke, "I can release half..."
The Dragon Sect mbers were stunned on the spot, realizing that threatening others with an ally's life actually worked!!!
Just as they were excited, without waiting for the Buddha statue to finish speaking, Old Long interrupted, "Then I'll release half too!"
The giant Buddha statue was rendered speechless; he ant releasing half of the people, but Long's notion of releasing half was sothing else entirely!
The Dragon Sect mbers were left dumbfounded; such a maneuver was unbelievable and unprecedented!
The atmosphere descended into silence again; neither the Buddhist Sect nor the Dragon Sect mbers spoke, and the confining space continued to contract swiftly.
Old Long noticed sothing wrong imdiately; it was evident they were stalling for ti until there was no room to escape, and they would catch him directly.
Tu Hongwu decisively severed one of his arms on the spot. The scene shocked Old Long, even turning his face pale with fright.
"This is just a superficial wound; it hasn't hurt the Origin at all. Recovery is rely a blink of an eye. Now, throw this piece out to them and see what they say."
To an ancient dragon who's lived over hundreds of thousands of years, life and death are no surprise, but that also depends on whose life and death.
For ordinary people or the bloodline of their Dragon Race, he wouldn't bat an eyelid if they died in front of him.
But this ti was different with this big figure; if anything happened to him, Old Long didn't dare imagine the consequences.
He especially couldn't envision what the world would look like after the destruction of heaven and earth.
However, the situation had escalated to this extent; he knew that any further hesitation might lead to catastrophe.
The next mont, Old Long threw a bloodied arm out from the void.
Then his figure flickered again and disappeared.
As he reappeared, two giant hands reached out in his direction; even the surrounding space began collapsing swiftly.
But they still couldn't catch Old Long.
"This is the first and the last ti. You said you'd release half the people; I'll release half to start with. Here's one of Tu Hongwu's hands. If you don't release the others soon, I'll throw more things out later.
Or, if I sense any threat to my life, let's all perish together!"
A bloodstained arm fell slowly from mid-air toward the ground.
The giant Buddha statue looked at the arm, its once resplendent and solemn visage turning white with fear.
