Follow the path of Dao from infancy

This scene erupted abruptly, extremely sudden, and everyone had not yet reacted.

It wasn't until they saw the huge Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation burning with divine might, and the Buddha's direct disciple being suppressed by the flick of a finger at the tip of the manifestation, that everyone was shocked and dismayed.

This was the Buddha's direct disciple who ranked first on the Qian Dragon List!

Famous at a young age, he entered the Grandmaster Realm at nineteen and suppressed the Qian Dragon List for a full three years!

During this period, the title of number one young prodigy in the world was unshakable!

And now, just a few months shy of turning twenty-two and leaving the list, he was suppressed on the platform by a single finger, motionless like a dead dog!

"Please show mercy!"

In this deadly silence, where not even the sound of a pin drop could be heard, the only thing that seemed unaffected was the sound of sand and waves from the Dragon River, still surging and scouring the Debate Platform.

Hermit Tianji was the first to react, moving quickly to bear a part of the force of the chess piece. The moment he made contact, he felt an unimaginable terrifying power contained in the seemingly ordinary stone, with the burning divine flame intense like the sun, seeming to incinerate everything!

While he was secretly alarmed, he hurriedly said to Li Hao:

"Grandmaster debating should stop at the point of contact, please don't take a life!"

As an Immortal of the Three Immortal Realms, he naturally couldn't stand by and watch the Buddha's direct disciple be crushed into a pulp by that young man's finger in full view of the public.

Otherwise, the Buddha seated in the Brahma Pure Land World would be furious, and his anger was something Tianji Tower wouldn't be able to bear!

Blocked by Hermit Tianji, the other four companions accompanying Qin Wuque also came to their senses. One of the middle-aged Arhats clad in Red Gold Kasaya suddenly stepped forward, rushing to Qin Wuque's side and angrily said to Li Hao:

"This is just a debate, do you also intend to kill?!"

Li Hao sneered lightly and said, "I'm simply debating as well, why are you so agitated?"

His response was almost a mirrored retort.

Although he indeed harbored the intent to kill, he would not kill a Buddha's son in public, or else the Buddha would have a justified reason to trouble him openly.

Moreover, this Buddha's son also probably had a noble rank for protection; unless the opponent agreed to an unruly sparring, to kill him publicly on the Dao Platform would also be a violation of the Dayu Divine Dynasty's laws.

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, the middle-aged Arhat's eyes bulged in fury, like an enraged Vajra.

A debate? Is pressing someone down on the ground and rubbing their face in it considered a debate?

However, this was indeed within the scope of a Grandmaster's debate—blame it on Qin Wuque's incompetence or, rather, the terrifying might of this young man!

The towering Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation even made the middle-aged Arhat feel a trace of palpitations, having never seen such a colossal Divine Soul. To simply let the Divine Soul swell to such a size, he might be capable, but when it came to power, he was perhaps inferior to its condensed ferocity!

"In debating, one should stop at the point, you've gone too far!"

The middle-aged Arhat's chest was bubbling with anger, but his expression was solemn and austere, extremely restrained, like a dignified elder advising Li Hao. MVLeMpYr-reader

Li Hao's response was indifferent: "You said yourself, 'stop at the point.' I focused my power at one 'point' on the chess piece. It's a pity he couldn't catch it. Is this your Buddha's son? He's not much different from the one I defeated with chopsticks before."

Hearing Li Hao's words, the middle-aged Vajra and the other three Mount Wuliang venerables were so furious it felt like their lungs might explode.

Years of cultivating their temperament meant that at this moment, they all felt the fury rushing to their heads, their bodies trembling.

The one mentioned by Li Hao was naturally Li Qianfeng, the youngest direct disciple of the Buddha.

He was also Qin Wuque's junior apprentice brother, and the two had a good relationship on ordinary days.

Qin Wuque's challenge to Li Hao was also to seek justice for Li Qianfeng and to salvage Mount Wuliang's face, especially since the aftermath of that True Dragon battle where Li Qianfeng lost terribly, causing great damage to Mount Wuliang's reputation.

But to their dismay, Qin Wuque personally stepped up and ended up losing even more embarrassingly than Li Qianfeng had!

Moreover, this was under the scrutiny of all, witnessed by the grandmasters of the world. They could hardly imagine the amount of mockery and ridicule Mount Wuliang would receive behind closed doors from this one battle alone.

"So young, yet so arrogant and rampant, is this the behavior of someone from the Divine General Mansion? No wonder your father has to personally suppress and sort you out!"

The middle-aged Arhat said angrily: "Withdraw your hand at once, such bullying is unlike a Grandmaster's demeanor!"

A flash of cold light appeared in Li Hao's eyes, which then quickly disappeared, as he spoke with a chill tone:

"Are you saying this to beg for mercy on his behalf?"

"Beg for mercy? Debate inherently has winners and losers, don't be so unreasonable now that you have the upper hand!" said the middle-aged Arhat, restraining his anger.

At this moment, Qin Wuque was still sprawled on the ground, struggling in vain. The longer he was delayed, the more Mount Wuliang's face was lost.

Li Hao sneered: "If I have the upper hand, why should I show mercy? You seem to know you're in the wrong. If so, just apologize properly. If you want to beg for mercy and admit defeat, let him say it to me himself!"

"You!"

The eyes of the middle-aged Arhat were filled with furious fire, yet his expression remained stern and solemn.

If it weren't for concerns about Li Hao's identity and fear of breaking rules, leading to Mount Wuliang losing even more face, he would have personally suppressed Li Hao by now.

"Fine! Since it's a debate, then let us have a debate as well!"

At this point, another venerable from Mount Wuliang spoke up.

Besides the middle-aged Arhat, the three other Mount Wuliang venerables also came along with Qin Wuque to attend this Grandmaster's conference.

In Mount Wuliang, the Vajra rank is of the Fifteen Li Realm, the venerables are of the Tianren Sect Grandmasters, and the Arhats are of the Three Immortal Realms.

Above that are the Bodhisattvas seated before the Buddha.

"Let me demonstrate the folly of your arrogance!"
