Zhou Xuan whispered secretly.

He and Yun Ziliang, Li Changxun had long agreed, not to seek victory, but to seek defeat—and a dramatic defeat at that.

Only when they are defeated, even killed, will the audience’s inner fervor be truly stirred.

The audience will call out from within the theater for the appearance of a true deity, and that deity will manifest with their call.

This is the "Human World Play God," the supreme technique of the Colorful Play Master’s hall.

Zhou Xuan’s sword was never aimed at the "Tun Jia Taishang" or the "Buddha Country Three Forms"; his goal today was fixed, it was the fake incense fire Taoist on the stage.

With a plan in place, Zhou Xuan put it into action.

As the Eternal Life Sect Leader had said, he had achieved the battle strength of the nine sticks of incense, but he concealed his true strength, suppressing his incense battle power to "Sitting Eight and Looking Nine." Earlier, he subtly increased his battle power a bit, to "Fake Nine Incense," to put some pressure on Medicine Buddha and the others.

"Kill Zhou Xuan quickly."

The Pharmacist feared that Zhou Xuan’s battle power would continue to climb and was equally unwilling to take in those four Tun Jia Taishang.

The Buddha Country is not a dumping ground for trash, taking in all manner of scoundrels.

Since they were both afraid and reluctant, there was only one option left before Medicine Buddha and his group—to kill Zhou Xuan before he reached the level of nine sticks of incense.

But to kill Zhou Xuan?

How incredibly difficult it was.

After Zhou Xuan’s Bone Teeth missed, his figure wavered and then vanished into thin air.

This is the "Thousand-year-old Turtle Breath" of the Dunjia Incense, allowing him to hide in the crevices of space in Heaven and Earth.

The stronger one’s perception, the more perfectly one can hide without being discovered.

"Zhou Xuan has disappeared."

The golden body of Jieyin Vajra, like an Evil Ghost, looked around but saw no trace of Zhou Xuan.

Medicine Buddha yelled: "This is the Concealing Technique, I will find Zhou Xuan."

Her white hair, with a loud whistle, began to grow wildly, reaching an exaggerated length, then she cut at her hair with a swift motion,

Her white hair broke into scattered white strands, drifting aimlessly in the air.

These white strands, upon touching any living thing, would burrow into their body like worms.

"My sky-spanning white hairs can infiltrate every space within the theater; let’s see how Zhou Xuan continues to hide."

Medicine Buddha clenched her fists, determined to capture Zhou Xuan,

But at this moment, Zhou Xuan emerged from hiding, breaking out from above Jieyin Heavenly King’s head.

His face donned a flickering purple mask—the Taoist Ancestor Mask.

"Knowing its darkness, guarding its brightness, for the World Technique."

Utilizing the momentum of the entire city’s audience, Zhou Xuan descended like a celestial crane, his form like a crane, yet his strength equal to a dragon elephant, stomping down to force Jieyin Heavenly King onto his knees.

Buddha Country people cultivate golden bodies, but these Buddha Country Five Forms are formed with the soul, their bodies not much tougher than ordinary Jing Country Hall Disciples.

As Zhou Xuan’s form crashed down, the sound of bones breaking was repeated from below Jieyin Heavenly King.

"Have you really been lurking by Junior Brother Jieyin’s side all along?"

Medicine Buddha could not conceive that Zhou Xuan, with insufficient realm, while facing a one-versus-three scenario, would dare to take such a risky move?

"Hiding and sneaking around, I, Zhou Xuan, scorn it; what’s less in cultivation? What’s being outnumbered by many? Let me show you Buddha Country people, something stronger than the golden body, it’s our Jing Country’s unmatched war intent."

Zhou Xuan rotated his body, underfoot having turned half of Jieyin Heavenly King’s head into crushed bone.

Luckily, Medicine Buddha’s white hairs surged towards Zhou Xuan, and Zhou Xuan re-entered the "Thousand-year-old Turtle Breath" state, vanishing again.

The Jieyin Heavenly King, whose head had been stomped to mush, wailed: "The nine sticks of incense, the nine sticks of incense, I felt it just now, Zhou Xuan reached that moment, he reached the battle power of nine sticks of incense, if we don’t kill him now... he’ll completely enter the nine sticks of incense battle power."

Medicine Buddha and Pagoda-Bearing King had been overconfident moments before, now were frightened to their core.

Sitting Eight and Looking Nine, Zhou Xuan relied on his strange techniques, along with strong battle instincts, to hold his own against the three of them.

The three, who were Nine-Turned Buddha Country people, incredibly failed to gain any advantage, if Zhou Xuan entered the nine sticks of incense—

"Cutting us down would be like slicing through vegetables!"

Medicine Buddha’s confidence completely crumbled, she no longer dared to face the increasingly powerful Zhou Xuan, she called out to Hulu Taishang in the distance: "Tun Jia Taishang, if you’re willing to assist us, once Zhou Xuan is dead, the stage becomes void, and we Buddha Country will guarantee your safety."

The pressure Zhou Xuan brought was too overwhelming, reaching a point where Medicine Buddha had to compromise, even willing to accept the four Tun Jia Taishang into Buddha Country.

The Hulu Taoist, leisurely entangling Yun Ziliang, chuckled: "Medicine Buddha, promises without proof are hollow words, we four brothers, how can we trust your word without some evidence?"

"Prove it, your grandma."

The Pagoda-Bear King cursed inwardly,

Medicine Buddha had no time for Tun Jia Taishang’s nonsense, her white hairs, transforming into countless long strands, penetrated back into her body, pulling out a small golden Buddha.

This golden Buddha, no larger than a palm, had exquisitely vivid features, lifelike in detail.

"This small Buddha is my natal golden Buddha, I swear upon it, if I break my oath, my golden Buddha will decay and crumble, and my cultivation will be utterly ruined."

Having said this, Medicine Buddha began to swear: "I, Medicine Buddha, declare here, if Tun Jia Taishang assists in slaying Zhou Xuan, I will accept them as War Generals of Buddha Country."
