#2154 - Xitian turns victory into defeat
Seeing Maitreya Buddha injured, Dipankara Ancient Buddha and Guanyin and others were naturally overjoyed, and immediately rushed forward.
Maitreya Buddha also knew that if he were to retreat in defeat like this, the fate of the Demon Clan army would be extremely worrying, so he could only grit his teeth and persevere.
Even if he was no match, he could buy some time for the Demon Clan army, so that the Demon Clan would not be defeated too miserably.
"I never thought that my Demon Clan would be so utterly defeated here!"
In Maitreya Buddha's heart, he was also quite unwilling. To be defeated by Xitian like this, the Demon Clan's reputation would be greatly reduced in the future.
"Maitreya Buddha, today we will definitely let you die here."
Dipankara Ancient Buddha laughed loudly, and together with Guanyin and others, once again surrounded Maitreya Buddha, preparing to launch another joint attack.
"Dipankara, you villain, even if I die, I will make sure you don't have a good time."
Maitreya Buddha knew that he was no longer a match, but he hated the arrogant Dipankara Ancient Buddha to the extreme.
He had already planned to fight to the death, and even if he died in battle, he would make Dipankara Ancient Buddha pay the price.
But at this moment, suddenly a flash of light appeared in Xitian, and a Buddha hurriedly rushed over and came to Dipankara Ancient Buddha and Guanyin.
"Buddha Dipankara, Bodhisattva Guanyin, Tathagata Buddha has an order that the situation in Xitian has changed. You are to quickly lead all the people from Xitian back, without any delay!"
That Buddha was the messenger Buddha of Tathagata Buddha, and he was here to convey the decree of Tathagata Buddha.
Tathagata Buddha was also very conflicted, but after some consideration, he decided to withdraw the Xitian army.
After all, compared with the overall situation of Xitian, Jinping Prefecture seemed less important. It was more important to eliminate the demons and maintain the stability of Xitian's foundation.
That's why he sent the messenger Buddha to let Dipankara and Guanyin retreat back to Xitian immediately.
"This…"
"How can this be done?"
"We are about to win!"
"Although it is untimely, we must obey Tathagata Buddha's decree."
Dipankara Ancient Buddha was also very unwilling, but they could not disobey Tathagata Buddha's decree, and could only grit his teeth and instruct everyone.
However, their words were also heard by Maitreya Buddha. This news was a surprise to Maitreya Buddha.
"If you want to retreat, I'm afraid it won't be so easy."
Maitreya Buddha, who was originally in low spirits, also regained his energy at this time. How could he not seize such a good opportunity to reverse the situation?
"All members of the Demon Clan, listen up! There has been a change in the situation on Xitian's side. They are failing. Counterattack!"
Maitreya Buddha shouted to the people of the Demon Clan, his voice loud enough for the entire Demon Clan army to hear.
"What? There is a situation in Xitian?"
"Being chased and killed by them, I have been holding my breath for a long time."
"Counterattack and take revenge!"
The Demon Clan, which had already begun to collapse across the board, regained most of its lost fighting spirit when it heard Maitreya Buddha's words at this time.
Under the command of Centipede and other Demon Clan bosses, they immediately stopped their defeat, reassembled their formations, and counterattacked towards Xitian.
Dipankara Ancient Buddha and the others had to obey Tathagata's decree and immediately prepare to retreat.
"All Xitian troops, prepare to retreat."
When Dipankara Ancient Buddha issued such an order, the Buddhas of Xitian were a little dumbfounded.
To retreat at this time would be a great joke, but since the order had been issued, they could not disobey it.
"What's going on with this muddled battle?"
"If the higher-ups tell us to retreat, let's retreat."
"What's the point of fighting anymore? It's boring!"
As a result, the Buddhas of Xitian instantly lost all their fighting spirit, and retreating in such a situation was also quite chaotic.
"Kill!"
The Demon Clan took the opportunity to counterattack. Some of the Buddhas of Xitian retreated, but more of them did not have time to retreat.
The Xitian camp was immediately in chaos. How could they deal with the Demon Clan in this situation?
The Demon Clan's counterattack immediately caused heavy losses to the Buddhas of Xitian, and the entire camp began to collapse.
It can be said that thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, the wheel of fortune turns.
Just now, the Buddhas of Xitian were chasing and killing the Demon Clan, but now the situation has reversed. It has become the Buddhas of Xitian fleeing, and the Demon Clan army pursuing.
Maitreya Buddha in the air also immediately entangled with Dipankara Ancient Buddha again, and those Demon Clan bosses rushed to support Maitreya Buddha.
Guanyin and others were once again restrained by many Demon Clan experts, and Maitreya Buddha also launched a fierce attack.
Dipankara Ancient Buddha had no intention of fighting at this time, but was instead beaten back by Maitreya Buddha, looking a little embarrassed.
"Retreat!"
Maitreya Buddha shouted to everyone, telling everyone to retreat.
In fact, he didn't need to say retreat at this time, because Xitian had already suffered a crushing defeat, and the original retreat had turned into a rout.
"Damn it, is this Buddha confused!"
Guanyin couldn't help but complain when she saw this scene. The original situation of great victory had turned into a great defeat because of Tathagata's decree.
Moreover, it was impossible for them to reverse the situation at this time, because the Xitian camp had completely collapsed.
"Let's retreat first."
Dipankara Ancient Buddha shouted to Guanyin and others, saying that continuing to fight at this time would only lead to greater and greater losses for Xitian.
Dipankara Ancient Buddha and Guanyin both made a feint and then fled westward.
The Buddhas of Xitian also immediately rode the clouds and fled, one by one like a group of deserters.
However, there were still many Buddhas who did not have the opportunity to escape and were surrounded by the Demon Clan army.
The Demon Clan vented their anger, and in just a moment, thousands of Buddhas fell to the ground.
Tang Seng and the others had been watching this battle, and the four of them also found it strange.
"Xitian clearly had an absolute advantage, and the Demon Clan had already retreated. Why would it be reversed like this?"
Tang Seng asked with some confusion.
"I think this matter is likely related to my brother."
Sun Wukong speculated.
"Yes, apart from the boss, I can't think of anyone else who has the ability to change this battle situation."
Pig Bajie also agreed with Sun Wukong's speculation.
However, this great battle between Xitian and the Demon Clan lasted for five days, and both sides suffered considerable casualties, but in the end, it became such a strange result.
Xitian clearly had the advantage, but they were defeated, while the Demon Clan, which was originally at a disadvantage, won the victory.
The reason for this seemed to be because of Tathagata Buddha's decree, but the main reason was that Chu Hao had driven tens of thousands of demons to Xitian, causing their backyard to catch fire.
At this time, Chu Hao was also leading the Heavenly Court's troops back to Jinping Prefecture.
