Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 2894

Amidst the lush greenery and tranquil waters, a gentle breeze suddenly turned into a chilling gust, nipping at the faces of those present. Startled gasps filled the air as leaves scattered, merging on the ground to form a colossal hand blocking the sky.

A commanding voice declared, "Little monk! If you can withstand my strike, you and your companions may pass."

Despite his slender frame, Paintaker stood firm as the golden glow of the Buddha statue illuminated him. He calmly said, "Respected One, please proceed."

Shortly after, a cascade of leaves descended from above, crashing thunderously and stirring up a whirlwind that distorted everyone's faces. The colossal hand's presence loomed, enveloping onlookers in despair, rendering them as powerless as ants before a lion.

Amidst the chaos, Paintaker remained composed, his tattered robes swirling around him. As the colossal hand drew nearer, he began to chant slowly and steadily.

"Ah, Ma, Ne, Ba..."

His voice echoed as the golden Buddha statue behind him suddenly expanded to over 20 feet tall, encompassing Shawn and the others. With Paintaker's continued chanting, the golden light surrounding the Buddha coalesced into the sacred mantra, shining brightly.

As the colossal hand approached, the air thickened, making each breath a struggle. The protective glow around the Buddha gradually faded.

Boom!

Suddenly, a dull impact reverberated through the valley, jolting the mountain where Shawn and his group stood as though it were experiencing an earthquake.

Those behind Paintaker felt their consciousness slipping away as if their souls were being wrenched from their bodies. Despite the primal fear that gripped them, they found solace in the illusion of the golden Buddha; without it, they would surely have perished.
