At this moment.
The photograph thrown by Wu Nian, like a great sun in the western sky, bloomed with Buddhist light, surging boundlessly like a tsunami, engulfing this place. Strand after strand of Buddhist light illuminated the earth, making this burial ground as bright as day, sacred and peaceful, even though it was a burial ground.
"Ah!!!!"
Piercing screams echoed from all the ghosts attacking Wu Nian, Zhang Chao, and the others.
Touched by the Buddhist light from the photograph, they cried out in agony as if scorched by the sun. Those closer to Zhang Chao and the others, and those with weaker strength, were instantly turned to ash before they could even scream.
[Ding! Terrifying Ghost Swarm]

The Buddhist light from the photograph instantly killed one-third of the ghost swarm.
However.
The Nine Evil Yin Gathering Ghost did not choose to save them; its attention was entirely captivated by the photograph.
The Buddhist light emanating from the photograph formed a Buddha-like halo of light, centered on the photograph. The halo was enormous, large enough to contain a person.
Immediately after.
The face of the Nine Evil Yin Gathering Ghost turned pale with fear.
He saw.
A sacred Buddha hand emerged from the halo, grasping the halo.
No, that wasn't just a Buddha hand.
It was a… true, living Bodhisattva!!!
She was about to step out from the halo.
[Ding! Nine Evil Yin Gathering Ghost is dumbfounded, wdn/]
[Host gains System Points +100]
Everything happened too fast.
The halo was not a halo at all, but a portal to the Western Pure Land. With Wu Nian's soft chanting, the portal opened wide, and a Bodhisattva was invited out.
Under the gaze of everyone, ghosts and humans alike.
The Bodhisattva leaned on the halo and took a step out of it.
Then.
[Ding! Nine Evil Yin Gathering Ghost is stunned, what the hell is that?!]
[Host gains System Points +50]
[Ding! Terrifying ghosts shiver halfway and freeze, is that… a Bodhisattva?!]
[Host gains System Points +100]
The Bodhisattva invited by Wu Nian, like the Bodhisattvas passed down through history, had a solemn and dignified appearance, filled with holiness and peace. The only difference was… instead of a jade vase and willow branch in her hand, the Bodhisattva held a thick, large, and black Gatling gun!!
"Is that a Bodhisattva?"
The speaker was the red-clothed fierce ghost that Zhang Chao and the others were pursuing. It looked at the Bodhisattva holding the Gatling gun with a bewildered expression.
[Ding! Terrifying ghosts are bewildered.]
[Host gains System Points +100]
If they weren't on opposing sides, the ghosts would have rushed forward to ask why she wasn't holding a jade vase. Even holding a baby would have been acceptable, as it could at least be said she was the Guanyin who grants children. But holding a Gatling gun, what was that supposed to mean?
Let alone the ghosts.
Zhang Mei and the others were also stunned.
Even Wu Nian, the person involved, was dumbfounded.
"This…"
Wu Nian maintained his clasped hands, his mouth slightly agape. He had forgotten to chant Amitabha, his mind occupied by a single thought…
Zhang Wei didn't lie to me, there really is Namo Gatling Bodhisattva?!
At this moment.
The Bodhisattva, holding the Gatling gun, swept her compassionate eyes over the Nine Evil Yin Gathering Ghost and all the ghosts present.
Immediately, a gentle Buddhist chant emanated from the Bodhisattva's mouth.
"Namo Amitabha."
Then she raised the Gatling gun in her hand.
Kachakachaka.
The mechanical gears turned, and the Gatling gun barrels spun at high speed.
Accompanying this.
The Gatling gun muzzle spewed out bursts of Buddhist light. Although it was clearly muzzle flash, it felt remarkably peaceful and serene.
Tuttuttuttuttuttuttuttut!!!
The muzzle flash of Buddhist light bloomed, and the peaceful bullets were fired, pouring down on all the ghosts present.
The roaring sound of the Gatling gun's barrels dominated the area.
In an instant.
The terrifying ghosts at the forefront, from all directions, were riddled with holes. Their screams of agony rose and fell with the roaring of the gun barrels.
"Ah!!!"
"Save me!!!"
"No—"
[Ding! Terrifying ghosts are scared to pee, where is the promised Bodhisattva's compassion.]
[Host gains System Points +200]
In less than a blink of an eye.
The ghosts in front were all blown to pieces, leaving no trace, not even dust.
[Ding! The blown-up terrifying ghosts died with their eyes wide open, this Bodhisattva… is not playing fair.]
[Host gains System Points +80]
This scene.
Made the scalps of the surviving ghosts tingle. They were both terrified and fortunate.
[Ding! The surviving ghosts are fortunate, it's good I ran slowly. As the ancients said, the gun shoots the bird that sticks out, it's so true!]
[Host gains System +80]
Not even hesitating for 0.1 second.
Whether it was the other ghosts or the Nine Evil Yin Gathering Ghost, they turned and fled.
One moment, a hundred ghosts were surging forward.
The next moment, a hundred ghosts were scattering and scrambling, like Teslas without brakes, not stopping.
Zhang Mei and the others exclaimed in surprise.
"Damn it, Wu Nian lied to me! He said his Buddhist beads were the most powerful artifact he brought. It must be that photograph."
They clearly remembered that not long ago, Zhang Chao had asked Wu Nian if he had brought any artifacts from Mount Wutai. Wu Nian had replied that he had, but the Buddhist beads were the strongest.
Compared to Zhang Mei and the others, Captain Li and his team were even more astonished.
"Is that really a Bodhisattva?" Captain Li couldn't help but ask.
At this moment.
The Bodhisattva, holding the Gatling gun with a benevolent expression, was scanning back and forth at the ghosts.
Zhang Chao replied to Captain Li:
"Yes, she is a Bodhisattva, Namo Gatling Bodhisattva. What, Captain Li, you haven't heard of Namo Gatling Bodhisattva? Her six roots are pure with depleted uranium rounds, spinning three thousand six hundred times per breath, with great compassion to save all beings."
Unlike others, he knew the origin of the Bodhisattva and knew that it wasn't Wu Nian's doing at all. It was the work of Zhang Wei, his new close friend.
"Great compassion to save all beings??"
Captain Li's mouth twitched when he heard this.
He instinctively looked at the ghosts not far away. They were fleeing in all directions, but none could escape the Bodhisattva's Gatling 'baptism':
"She is indeed saving all beings…"
Just as Zhang Chao was about to respond.
A familiar ghostly voice sounded, interrupting Zhang Chao and drawing everyone's attention.
It turned out that at some point.
The Bodhisattva seemed to have noticed the Nine Evil Yin Gathering Ghost trying to escape. Instantly, Buddhist light surged, and with a single step, she reappeared, blocking the Nine Evil Yin Gathering Ghost.
Looking at the Bodhisattva at close range.
And the Gatling gun barrel pressed against his forehead.
The Nine Evil Yin Gathering Ghost was filled with the urge to curse.
[Ding! Nine Evil Yin Gathering Ghost is terrified.]
[Host System Points +50]
Seeing the Gatling gun barrel pressed against his forehead begin to turn, the Nine Evil Yin Gathering Ghost was terrified and quickly shouted:
"Don't do it, don't kill me, Bodhisattva! Buddha is merciful, Buddha is merciful!"
Seeing the Bodhisattva ignore him.
The Nine Evil Yin Gathering Ghost became desperate and shouted in panic:
"Bodhisattva, don't kill me, I have a connection with Buddha! Look, I have Buddhist power on me too, I have a connection with Buddha!"
