SWDnovel Chapter 34: Angry Gaze
Chapter 34: Angry Gaze
Li Wu looked closely and saw that the young monk not only showed no signs of making a move, but was sitting upright in front of the Buddha statue, facing Li Wu, with a compassionate look on his face, chanting Buddhist scriptures.
These Buddhist scriptures entered Li Wu's ears and affected his state of mind. If it weren't for the thunder in his dantian, he would have truly fallen for their spell.
Li Wu's expression was solemn. He sheathed his halberd and said in a deep voice:
"So that's how it is... You have the compassionate face... You don't save people by taking action yourself, but by having others kill you, using compassion to save sinful hearts."
"If that halberd had landed just now, I'm afraid I would have truly been transported to the Pure Land of Bliss and would have had no chance of escape."
Seeing that his methods had been guessed, the young monk opened his eyes, slowly stood up, and looked at Li Wudao:
"As expected of someone who has cultivated the [Divine Thunder] path, you managed to regain consciousness on your own. Fa Ci is extremely impressed."
"Hmph, what a compassionate face, what a merciful heart."
Looking at this pretentious bald monk, Li Wu felt a surge of anger for no reason, but he couldn't kill the man in front of him.
If he were killed, the compassionate countenance would appear, and Li Wu dared not guarantee that he would be unaffected by it.
We cannot linger here.
Li Wusuo felt that the methods of the Buddhist cultivators were different from the spells and supernatural powers of the immortal cultivators. The methods of the Buddhist cultivators were truly insidious to the extreme.
If you're not careful, you can easily fall into their trap.
With this in mind, Li Wudang immediately prepared to leave the temple.
"Donor, please be slow."
However, he had barely taken a step when he heard Faci speak from behind him:
"Today I must deliver you from suffering, otherwise you will not be able to reincarnate after death and will only fall into the Avici Hell."
Li Wu paused for a moment, but ignored it and left the palace gate.
He now understands that the best way to deal with these Buddhist monks is to ignore them.
The moment Li Wu stepped out of the hall, Fa Ci's Buddhist chanting stopped, and the incense in the hall gathered around him, forming golden Buddhist scriptures.
The compassionate look on his face was gone, replaced by a fierce, glaring expression.
Fa Ci placed the prayer beads around his neck, clenched his fists, stomped his foot, and shot out like an arrow, slamming his fist into the back of Li Wu's head.
"Well done!"
Li Wuling's spiritual sense had been locked onto Fa Ci, so he noticed Fa Ci's movement the moment he moved. The halberd reappeared in his hand, and he turned around and slashed fiercely.
"Clang!"
As the halberd clashed with the fist, silvery-white lightning instantly enveloped Faci's entire body.
"Aaaaah!"
Fa Ci glared angrily and shouted loudly, the golden Buddhist scriptures on his body constantly spinning, resisting the invasion of the thunder.
Li Wu sneered, his spiritual power surged, and lightning suddenly shone brightly, illuminating the hall in a silvery-white light.
Fa Ci, bare-handed and with eyes blazing with anger, his golden palms gradually turning crimson, actually managed to grab the two thickest bolts of lightning, and with a snap of his fingers, crushed them to pieces.
Taking advantage of this brief opening, he retreated repeatedly, creating distance between himself and others.
Li Wu let him move, calmly gathering his next attack while saying:
"You have lost all compassion, now only an angry look remains. If you want to save me, you must kill me. I'll see if you can kill me!"
Faci's robe was torn apart by lightning, revealing his muscular, golden muscles. His mouth split open, and his face remained angry.
"You wicked creature, I didn't expect you to arrive so early... You should have come three years later... By then I would already be a Dharma Master... But it doesn't matter, now that I am about to ascend to the position of Maha, I will let you fulfill my destiny in this life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his strong arms, clasped his hands together, and a cloud of blood mist rose from the temple, within which various images appeared:
Men, women, the elderly, and children—they seemed to be wailing and groaning, yet their expressions betrayed a sense of enjoyment and indulgence.
These images seemed to be glued to Faci's body like paste.
Li Wu frowned slightly, sensing that the other party's aura was gradually increasing.
"When I ascend to the position of Dharma Master, I will surely guide you to enlightenment here."
"He's breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage!"
According to the Buddhist cultivation realm classification they learned from He Jingyu, their so-called Dharma Master is actually at the Foundation Establishment realm.
Li Wu immediately made a decisive move, taking out the Foundation Establishment artifact [Golden Light Mirror] given to him by the Qi family, holding one in each hand, with a bolt of lightning hidden inside.
Li Wufa channeled his surging power into the mirror, causing it to shimmer with a silvery-white light that illuminated the temple and dispelled the blood mist.
"Boom!"
Two bolts of lightning suddenly shot out from the mirror and struck the monk directly.
"Aaaaah!" Faci roared fiercely.
The drawings on his body seemed to have seen a natural enemy, and wherever the lightning shone, they were all driven away.
Faci's ascension to mage was interrupted by divine lightning. Watching the people fleeing from his body, he wept:
"You can't leave! How dare you leave!"
"Hahaha... Father... Wife... Master..."
Different voices came from his mouth, and his expression changed accordingly, with different faces constantly shifting.
These faces shattered like glass, revealing the true nature of Faci.
…………
In the vast emptiness.
As Taixi and the others watched the scenes unfolding in the temple, a sage chuckled softly:
"The Divine Thunder technique is truly a good sword for dealing with this group of Buddhist cultivators, as it can slay evil spirits, destroy demons, and destroy temples."
Qi Shaoning seemed moved and said in a deep voice:
"Although Li Wu can sever his Maha body in this life, it only means he has wasted all his previous efforts and lost several lifetimes, but he can still start over. Should we...?"
Master Taixi shook his head and said:
"My master instructed me not to take action, but to let this Maha lose his lifespan for several lifetimes."
"Moreover, it would take him at least a hundred years to gather all these destinies back together, which is more than enough."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, gazing quietly downwards while their hands continuously formed hand seals, their supernatural powers intertwining to isolate this area from the world.
…………
Inside the temple.
Li Wuping used the Foundation Establishment artifact, the Golden Mirror, to continuously suppress Fa Ci, causing him immense pain and preventing him from breaking through to the level of a Dharma Master.
However, with several lifetimes of destiny attached to him, Li Wuyi would find it difficult to kill him completely in a short time.
Fazi barely managed to maintain his erratic life, shouting incessantly:
"You've been deceived! You've been used! If you kill me, you'll be useless and become a tool for other lineages to break through to the Purple Mansion realm!"
"You have to say it!"
Li Wushuang pressed down with both hands, increasing the force.
"I'm going to die anyway, so I'll take you, you bald monk, with me!"
Li Wu knew that those Purple Mansion True Persons were definitely watching from some corner, so everything he was doing now was for their benefit.
Fa Ci held on for several hours, but eventually could not withstand it any longer. Many cracks appeared on his body, and his Dharma body began to collapse, shattering into pieces like a ping-pong ball on the ground.
Li Wu slowly put away the Golden Mirror, walked to the pile of rubble, picked up a bead, and crushed it into dust.
"They're really hard to kill!"
He let out a long sigh, feeling his spiritual energy nearly depleted, and prepared to meditate to recover it first.
