Chapter 112: I Am Going on a Killing Spree
Rumble!
Accompanied by a series of explosive sounds like angry thunder rolling through the sky, a streak of escaping light sped through the air. Behind it were dozens of nearly identical streaks of escaping light.
In the fleeing escaping light at the front, a young man wearing a black robe with a gloomy and shadowy face was gritting his teeth, constantly urging a Spirit Treasure in his hand. This treasure was named the “Void-Piercing Sky-Escaping Black Shuttle.” When enhanced on the escaping light, it could explosively increase speed several times over and also possessed the ability to shuttle through the void over short distances.
This person was none other than the Direct Disciple of the Saint Sect, Qin Tianhe.
However, at this moment, Qin Tianhe looked incredibly wretched. If not for the “Void-Piercing Sky-Escaping Black Shuttle” in his hand, he would likely have been left without even a corpse by now.
And behind him were a group of Buddhist cultivators.
“These shameless bald donkeys definitely played a trick!”
Qin Tianhe cursed loudly as he ran. He had clearly realized something was wrong; after all, the gathering speed and tracking precision of the Buddhist cultivators were simply too abnormal.
No matter how he hid his aura, this group of Buddhist cultivators could find him precisely.
Of course, he had also tried turning back to counterattack. However, this group of pursuing Buddhist cultivators was obviously not kind; they were proficient in combined strike techniques with one another.
Although the leader was not as good as him, he was only slightly weaker.
In this situation, fighting alone was definitely impossible. So Qin Tianhe could only curse at the rear while accelerating his escape.
“Benefactor, your destined affinity has arrived.”
Behind Qin Tianhe, a Buddhist cultivator put his palms together, his voice thundering like thunder. “My [Fu Long Temple] happens to be short of Buddhist followers. You can be a Guardian in my temple.”
“The Demonic Sect uses humans as material, commits many evils, does not respect merit, does not revere karma, and breeds sin barriers. It is not a place for pure cultivation… If the Benefactor can forsake darkness for light, join the Pure Land, convert to the Righteous Path from now on, and listen to the World Honored One’s supreme wondrous Dharma, wouldn’t that be wonderful? Why suffer bitterly in that place of the Demonic Path…”
“…Amitabha!”
In an instant, more than ten Buddhist cultivators responded in unison.
Rolling thunder sounds were even mixed with scriptures, making Qin Tianhe feel a splitting headache, as if something was drilling into his Sea of Consciousness.
“Want to convert me!?”
Qin Tianhe’s face was ashen. He roused his True Qi, suppressing the Buddhist sounds in his ears while accelerating and continuing to fly far away.
Seeing this scene, the leading Buddhist cultivator immediately frowned.
At the same time, seeing this, another Buddhist cultivator stepped forward and whispered, “Senior Brother Guang Ming, this person is extremely good at escaping. It seems he won’t be taken down so easily.”
Guang Ming shook his head. “Junior Brother, you don’t know. Master’s [Fu Long Temple] currently needs to recruit Buddhist followers. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been sent to participate in this Dao Seizing War. The purpose is to take advantage of this good opportunity to convert as many outsiders as possible to fill the [Fu Long Temple]. Otherwise, how can we improve?”
“This person has extraordinary means and is obviously a Direct Disciple of the Demonic Sect.”
“Therefore, the harder he is to catch, the more we must catch him! On the Righteous and Demonic battlefield, even if we really catch a Direct Disciple of the Saint Sect, the Bodhisattva will protect us.”
“Continue, chase him!”
Guang Ming was the leader of this group of Buddhist cultivators. Since he had spoken, the others naturally dared not have other opinions and immediately chased after Qin Tianhe.
Similar things were happening everywhere in the World Realm.
However, Saint Sect disciples also had strong and weak ones. The strong ones were Direct Disciples like Qin Tianhe, while the weak ones were only in the Late Stage of Qi Refining. Therefore, the outcomes were all different.
Some boldly counter-killed their pursuers.
Some fought to exhaustion and died after being besieged.
Some saw they couldn’t escape and directly self-destructed to perish together with the enemy.
However, no matter what, with their positions locked in advance, being ambushed, and fighting the many with the few, the losses of the Saint Sect were ultimately much greater than those of the Dao Court and the Pure Land.
In a desolate wilderness, sword light shone brilliantly.
Clang—!
As a spiritual sword fell, the void opened and closed. Then, a heroic and valiant tall woman appeared and walked out, carrying a severed head in her hand.
“Fairy Miaozhen, your reputation is well-deserved!”
Below, Wang Jinting, who came from the Dao Court, clapped his hands and laughed. “The spiritual power of this Demonic Sect Direct Disciple was impressive. If not for the Fairy taking action, I’m afraid he wouldn’t have been easy to take down.”
“A mere demon head, unable to withstand a single blow.”
The tall woman said coldly, “My Divine Ability is now fully accomplished, and I wish to achieve Foundation Establishment. I am just about to ask the world with my sword. These demon heads can serve as sacrifices for my sword; they can be considered to have died in the right place.”
Outside the World Realm, three Perfected Lords sat in a circle. Each of their Dharma Bodies propped up the sky and stood on the ground, their gazes lowered. Not a single change within the World Realm could escape their eyes.
Just then, one of the Dharma Bodies suddenly laughed loudly. “Qingcheng, it seems we are taking the top prize this time!”
“Amitabha…”
Another Dharma Body recited a Buddha’s name. Although he didn’t say much, the meaning was self-evident; clearly, he believed his side already held the advantage.
It should be known that this time they came prepared. Not only were the two Dao Fruit Treasures prepared specifically targeted, creating a situation of fighting the few with the many and laying ambush sieges, but they also specially invited a Direct Disciple of the Sword Pavilion to join as external aid to fill the high-end combat power. It could be said they had put in a lot of thought.
Of course, the result was also very satisfactory to Them.
Such a wonderful opening!
However, facing the mockery of the two Perfected Lords from the Dao Court and the Pure Land, Perfected Lord Qingcheng Feixue, who came from the Saint Sect, was incomparably calm, seemingly not caring about the disadvantage at all.
Seeing her behave like this, the two Perfected Lords frowned instead.
Could there be a problem?
The Demonic Sect acted fiercely and cunningly; both Jiangdong and Jiangxi had deep experience with this. Perfected Lord Qingcheng Feixue being so calm was truly unsettling.
But no matter what, this time it is three parties joining hands to suppress the Demonic Path together.
The advantage is mine!
Inside the World Realm, Qin Tianhe’s face gradually revealed a ferocious look. He had been running for a full half-shichen (hour), and his True Qi was soon to hit rock bottom.
However, behind him, the group of Buddhist cultivators led by Guang Ming still pursued relentlessly. The escaping lights of more than ten people even merged into a glistening golden dragon shape. He recognized it; that was the Divine Ability of the Eight Legions of the Deep Bliss Pure Land, likely belonging to the [Dragon Legion], which was not considered ordinary even among Buddhist cultivators.
What made Qin Tianhe even more despairing and helpless was that he had vaguely guessed Guang Ming’s intention.
“These bald donkeys… are using me to fish!”
Qin Tianhe gritted his teeth. Actually, Guang Ming and the others could have caught up and killed him long ago, but they kept stringing him along, maintaining a posture of pursuit.
Did they want to see if anyone would come to rescue him?
Thinking of this, Qin Tianhe suddenly wanted to laugh a little. What did these bald donkeys take the Saint Sect for? Great philanthropists who cared about teammates and sacrificed themselves for others?
Rather than expecting someone to come save him, it would be better to expect him to actively find a few Saint Sect disciples to use as shields for himself. That might actually be a bit more realistic.
In fact, Qin Tianhe already planned to do just that.
As the saying goes, “better a dead Daoist friend than a dead poor Daoist.” As a Saint Sect disciple, on major issues of right and wrong like whether he dies or someone else dies, he had always been very clear-headed…
However, just then, a whistling sound suddenly came from the sky.
“That is… what thing?”
“It seems to be another demon head from Jiangbei!”
Guang Ming and Qin Tianhe looked up almost simultaneously, revealing looks of joy. The former because there was new prey, and the latter because there was a scapegoat.
Boom!
In the next second, a streak of escaping light fell from the sky like a fire-electric meteor, emitting bursts of heaven-collapsing loud noises wherever it passed. It only split apart abruptly after landing.
Immediately afterward, Lu Yang paced out from within. A rainbow of sword light pierced through the sky around him, triggering spiritual tides in all directions.
The moment he saw him, Qin Tianhe froze on the spot.
And with such momentum, Guang Ming also felt a slight chill in his heart. He didn’t rush forward but stopped his steps and said in a deep voice, “This Benefactor, I wonder from which…”
Whoosh—!
The sword pellet exploded with a hum, flashing past in an instant!
Lu Yang couldn’t be bothered to answer at all. He raised his sword and slashed. Seeing this, the Buddhist cultivator standing at the very front immediately circulated his spiritual seal, propping up a sturdy Golden Body.
This was also a common tactic of the Pure Land during group battles. First, a Buddhist cultivator who had refined a Golden Body physique and had numerous life-saving means would block the front. Then, other Buddhist cultivators would cast Divine Abilities from the rear, supplemented by formation enhancements. It was like a mobile fortress, able to attack while advancing and defend while retreating.
Therefore, when Lu Yang made his move, the group of Buddhist cultivators immediately responded according to routine.
“I’ll block it, you guys…”
Before the Buddhist cultivator who actively met Lu Yang could finish his sentence, he discovered that his voice was cut off at his throat. Then, the vision before his eyes spun heaven and earth.
“…Huh?”
His Golden Body had undergone decades of tempering. Generally speaking, even a Superior-grade Artifact couldn’t easily break through it. Now, however, it seemed as if it were made of paper.
Beheaded with one sword!
Lu Yang’s expression was indifferent. He didn’t know that the Pure Land and the Dao Court had long united, nor did he know that the Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion had sent a familiar face to participate in this war as external aid.
Perfected Lord above, he only knew one thing— he was going on a killing spree!
The strength of swinging the sword, the height of raising the hand, the precision of casting technique, the speed of pursuit—only by going all out could he let the Saint Sect Perfected Lord see his attitude!
