The Might of Buddhist Law

Countless heads were piled together.

They formed a magnificent "structure" resembling a pyramid.

Some had their tongues cut out, some their eyes gouged, some their noses severed...

But without exception, they were all embedded on this "structure" at this moment, becoming its outer walls.

A surging aura of malevolence continuously condensed and echoed here.

The chilling wind whistled past, and the sounds echoing in the air were like countless wronged souls lamenting their grievances and misfortunes.

The few felt an inexplicable chill down their spines, a sense of discomfort all over.

Sympathy for the same fate.

This was a unique feeling when faced with the corpses of their own kind.

Li Xuanxiao and the others were Martial Artists who had experienced many battles and should have long been accustomed to seeing corpses.

But this kind of slaughter, the complete annihilation of the entire city, still sent a chill through them.

It also made them realize once again the brutality and terror of demons.

"Killing the Inspector and not devouring him, but hanging him on the city wall is also..."

"Intentionally leaving the Inspector alive, leaving us helpless, forcing us to watch our companion die is also..."

"Piling the heads of the city's residents into a 'Kyōkan' is also..."

"Demons are displaying their military might to us in the most bloody, most brutal, most primitive, and most insane way!"

"It's both a show of strength, a warning, and a demonstration."

Li Xuanxiao clasped his hands together in a gesture of respect for the deceased.

Shen Tianyou and Lian Meini followed suit, as it was the only thing they could do for these people now.

No!

Not the only thing!

Li Xuanxiao withdrew his gaze. If there was anything else they could do for them...

It was to find the demons and kill them all!

To bring peace to the spirits in heaven of the citizens!

This was where the demonic energy was most concentrated. If the demons were still here, they could only be hiding nearby.

Where could they be?

Li Xuanxiao scanned his surroundings.

Boom—

Before their eyes, the entire Kyōkan suddenly exploded!

Countless invisible threads wove into a net, descending and trapping the few!

As Late Stage Profound Realm Martial Artists, Li Xuanxiao and the others reacted immediately.

They retreated and dodged without delay.

The origin of these silk nets was unknown, but they were certainly not good things!

Although the three were fast, the area covered by the silk nets was too vast. Even though they dodged immediately, they still got caught by some of it.

In just an instant, the three felt its peculiar nature.

Besides having a terrifying stickiness, the areas wrapped by the silk nets felt as if they were sealed.

Not only could they not muster any strength, but when True Qi circulated to those areas, it became severely stagnant!

"Hahahaha, you lords are truly courteous, bowing and saluting to a group of dead people."

A female voice rang out. The three looked up and were stunned.

It was a giant spider demon!

What's more, more demons kept emerging from the exploding Kyōkan.

And they were all exclusively Late Stage Profound Realm!

When everything settled, the three were surprised to find that there were as many as eight demons!

Shen Tianyou and Lian Meini's expressions turned grim, their faces filled with seriousness.

This was four more demons than the previous Inspector had mentioned!

The number had more than doubled, and their realms were no less inferior.

Coupled with their demonic arts.

This was troublesome...

The two exchanged glances. After all, they were special combatants from the Purification Hall, and their strength was undeniable!

They immediately employed their respective techniques, erecting protective shields while trying to clear the silk nets clinging to them.

But their attempts yielded little; the silk threads were incredibly bizarre.

They were neither afraid of their True Qi burning them nor their sharp blades cutting them.

They were exceptionally tough!

The hearts of the two sank further.

The giant spider demon laughed heartily, "Stop wasting your energy. My spider webs aren't that easy to deal with!"

The other demons had already surrounded the three, and the situation was dire!

Suddenly, Shen Tianyou and Lian Meini felt a gentle breeze brush against their faces.

The next second, the spider webs on their bodies vanished as if melting snow.

They looked down and saw a lotus platform had risen from beneath their feet at some unknown time.

Pure Lotus Bloom!

Several demons showed shock on their faces, "There are Buddhist disciples here?"

This lotus platform seemed to possess a natural restraint, causing them to feel a stinging sensation just by standing near it.

Shen Tianyou and Lian Meini turned their heads, looking at Li Xuanxiao with surprise.

Although they had heard before coming that Li Xuanxiao had achieved some mastery in Buddhism, they hadn't expected him to be this powerful.

He was so reliable!

They immediately unleashed their cultivation techniques and martial arts to counterattack.

The spider demon refused to believe it and sprayed several more webs, but each one dissolved the moment it neared the lotus platform.

It cursed inwardly and immediately changed its strategy, using other abilities.

Instantly, the scene became chaotic.

The eight demons used their own methods, unleashing various strange and mystical arts, but almost all were negated by the lotus platform.

On the other hand, Shen Tianyou and Lian Meini felt in excellent condition, as if they had an inexhaustible supply of strength.

Their offensive momentum intensified, becoming even more fierce.

The three against the eight demons were actually holding their own!

Several demons exchanged glances, "That kid supporting the lotus platform is sinister!"

"Let's take him down first. If he dies, the lotus platform will break, and these two will be captured by us sooner or later!"

Once the plan was set, they immediately took action!

Three demons changed their strategy and headed straight for Li Xuanxiao.

The remaining five demons were responsible for holding back Shen Tianyou and Lian Meini.

Seeing this, the two felt anxious, but facing five opponents, they couldn't break free to support Li Xuanxiao.

They could only shout loudly, warning Li Xuanxiao to be careful.

Li Xuanxiao's expression was calm, sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform, truly resembling a enlightened monk.

Especially his eyes, where faint golden markings gradually became apparent, even spreading to the area around his eyes.

A faint golden aura emanated, giving him an otherworldly appearance!

Facing the charging demons, he merely flicked his hand.

My Buddha Illuminates Seal condensed in his hand and struck directly at a demon.

Buzz—

As if struck by a giant bell, the demon felt its entire body jolt. Immense force transmitted throughout its body from the point of impact.

It retreated dozens of meters before managing to dissipate the force, feeling a sweet, metallic taste rise in its throat.

It couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, its aura instantly weakening considerably.

Its eyes widened, its mind greatly shaken. That palm strike seemed to have almost torn its soul from its body!

"This kid's True Qi is incredibly abundant, his realm is no less than ours, and his martial arts are extremely profound. Everyone, be careful!"

Although the warning was issued immediately, it was ultimately a step too late.

The other two demons rushing towards Li Xuanxiao were both hit squarely.

One was severely injured, and the other died on the spot!

[Killed Raven Demon, Profound Realm Seventh Layer. Gained 700 Demon Points!]

This scene was naturally witnessed by the humans and demons who were closely monitoring the situation.

Several demons' faces changed drastically. They had initially thought the troublesome ones were the two older martial artists.

Who knew that kid would be a hidden dark horse!

So young, yet possessing such methods and strength.

Damn it!

What a great act!

Feigning weakness to make others underestimate you, then striking at a crucial moment to injure them and achieve victory in one blow!

Damn humans!

Unlike the inner rage and shock of the demons, Shen Tianyou and Lian Meini almost burst out laughing.

Good kid, we really underestimated you!

Who told me he was only at the Profound Realm First Layer?

With the sheer density of his True Qi, he's at least at the Profound Realm Eighth Layer!

Terrifying. A Profound Realm Eighth Layer Martial Artist at such a young age, this is probably something even the geniuses at headquarters can't match!

Monster!

A true monster!

But as for their own teammate, the stronger the better, of course.

Li Xuanxiao was a nightmare for the demons, but he was their savior.

They thought this would be a difficult situation to escape from.

But now it seems the demons, who have the advantage in numbers, are the ones who should be worried?
