The young nun from the Lingtai Buddhist Sect frowned as she saw that this disciple from the Fire Spirit Sect was still so arrogant.
"My lord, you were just at a disadvantage. Non-Self hadn't intervened in time, you would have been injured on the spot! Why did you insist on being stubborn?"
Hearing what this young nun said,
Yang Ding, the disciple of the Fire Spirit Sect, turned extremely pale.
In the previous exchange, he was indeed somewhat careless, which allowed his opponent to seize the initiative.
On the one hand, as a disciple of the Fire Spirit Sect, he was extremely confident in his cultivation techniques and magical artifacts.
On the other hand, he never expected that in the Western Regions of the Central Divine Dynasty, there would be cultivators who would dare to be so bold as to attack the disciples of the Fire Spirit Sect first!
In his view, within the Western Regions of the Central Divine Dynasty, only the Fire Spirit Sect committed murder, and only the Fire Spirit Sect struck first; no other sect had ever laid a trap first.
Aside from a few sects like the Crane Immortal Sect, whose disciples showed some restraint when the Fire Spirit Sect attacked, which other cultivator didn't obediently bow their heads and allow themselves to be humiliated and attacked by the Fire Spirit Sect?
At this moment, with thousands upon thousands of cultivators watching in disbelief, this disciple of the Fire Spirit Sect was caught completely off guard. How could he possibly swallow this insult!
At this moment, he felt an intense urge to tear Li Xiaohu to pieces on the spot!
Of course, at this moment,
What he hated most wasn't Li Xiaohu, but this little nun who blocked his way and said he was no good as a disciple of the Fire Spirit Sect!
Upon realizing this, Yang Ding, a disciple of the Fire Spirit Sect, twitched his face repeatedly and said coldly, "Fine, fine, since you're courting death, then I'll give you a fiery incineration and reduce you to ashes. I want to see whether your Buddhist technique that can suppress magical artifacts is more powerful, or my three Fire Spirit Cauldron!"
The next moment,
He roared.
Two more seventh-tier magic artifacts Fire Spirit Cauldron, flew out from his waist.
The three Fire Spirit Cauldron floating in the air spun rapidly, and suddenly a large number of Flame Sparrow flew out, densely covering the sky for several miles around.
Each Flame Sparrow was tens of feet in size, its entire body wreathed in flames, and its power was several times stronger than when it fought Li Xiaohu!
The countless cultivators around all changed their expressions slightly upon seeing this scene.
The reason Fire Spirit Sect was able to run rampant in the Western Region of the Central Divine Dynasty was not only because of their evil and domineering behavior. One of the main reasons was that the Fire Spirit Sect's Fire Spirit Divine Skill could activate their sect's Fire Spirit Cauldron weapon, instantly forming a large number of Flame Sparrow of the same level as the one activating it!
This is roughly equivalent to each Fire Spirit Sect disciple being able to simultaneously activate at least dozens of Demonic Pearl!
Moreover, the more Fire Spirit Cauldrons a Fire Spirit Cauldron Fire Spirit Sect disciple possesses, the more Flame Sparrow they can simultaneously activate!
Although high-level Fire Spirit Cauldron are not easy to forge, as long as Fire Spirit Sect disciple has three or five Fire Spirit Cauldron, it is equivalent to them being able to activate more than a hundred Demonic Pearl and possess more than a hundred summonable creatures of the same level as them!
This gang-up-style fighting method is utterly shameless. Almost no cultivator of the same level can fight against the Mortal Transformation Realm disciple of the Fire Spirit Sect!
After all, although other cultivators can buy Demonic Pearl to activate demons, the amount of True Qi in a cultivator's body is ultimately limited. Normally, a cultivator at the Layer Nine Perfection can only activate ten Demonic Pearl at the same time before their True Qi is Yikong exhausted!
How can ten monsters of the same level fight against more than a hundred monsters of the same level? They would be crushed in no time!
At this moment, many cultivators looked at the hundred or so giant Flame Sparrow that had floated into the air, and they all shook their heads secretly, looking at the little nun with some worry!
The Fire Spirit Sect's actions have always been resented by many cultivators. Almost every cultivator who knows about the Fire Spirit Sect's behavior is eager to see the Fire Spirit Sect's disciples get beaten up. However, they know very well that cultivators who have not yet reached the Earth Immortal Realm realm have almost no chance of defeating Fire Spirit Sect disciples of the same level!
None of the cultivators present could defeat her, not even the disciples of the Crane Immortal Sect, and this little nun probably couldn't either!
As everyone expected,
As hundreds of fiery Flame Sparrow filled the sky and flew towards the little nun, the little nun, whose expression had just been calm, still showed a look of fear on her face.
Not daring to waste any time, she immediately clasped her hands together, chanted Buddhist prayers, and her whole body shimmered with Buddhist light.
As the Buddha's light shone and the Buddha's voice spread, more than a dozen Flame Sparrow had rushed to her vicinity. However, as soon as they approached within thirty feet of her, their flames were suppressed, and their power was forcibly suppressed by the Buddha's light, turning them into small firebirds the size of a palm!
The Buddhist techniques used by this young nun were clearly quite wondrous. Although they lacked the fierce and murderous aura of the other techniques, they were balanced and peaceful. With ease and composure, she made those majestic Flame Sparrow 'lay down their weapons' and turn them into harmless little birds!
But,
Yang Ding, now filled with murderous intent, had already decided to kill the little nun.
With this mindset, he wouldn't hold back at all. Seeing a large number of Flame Sparrow being quickly suppressed by the Buddha's light, he immediately roared, took out dozens of Grade-1 Profound Truth Jade Stone, and after absorbing them, his True Qi emanated from his body and flowed continuously into the three Fire Spirit Cauldron!
In order to kill this little nun, Yang Ding actually took out dozens of high-grade Profound Truth Jade Stone!
The surrounding cultivators couldn't help but secretly marvel at the arrogance of the Fire Spirit Sect disciples.
The battle had barely begun when the Fire Spirit Sect disciple had already produced dozens of Grade-1 Profound Truth Jade Stone. If the battle continued like this, even with the little nun's profound Buddhist techniques, she would likely be worn down to death!
Seeing this, Li Xiaohu, who was not far away, tensed up and reached for the Ninth Tier Magic Tool in his hand again.
He wasn't worried about the little nun; the main problem was that he couldn't stand the Fire Spirit Sect disciples' arrogance and domineering attitude, always ready to take lives!
Lin Xuankong pressed down on his hand and shook his head slightly at Li Xiaohu, "Buddhist techniques are profound and unpredictable. Since this Buddhist disciple has made a move, she won't be defeated so easily. Just watch with peace of mind! If she is in danger, it's not too late to intervene!"
Seeing Lin Xuankong's obstruction, Li Xiaohu was quite unwilling, but he could only give up and stare coldly at Yang Ding, a disciple of the Fire Spirit Sect.
Lin Xuankong's gaze, however, was fixed on the distance, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
In mid-air,
Standing atop the crimson cloud, Chang Li smiled and said, "Senior Brother Yang truly lives up to his reputation as the most talented among Master Uncle's many True Disciple. Ordinary cultivators lack the mental cultivation level to simultaneously activate three seventh-tier magic artifacts, yet Senior Brother Yang can activate three Fire Spirit Cauldron at the same time. With such strength, he could probably withstand a Early Earth Immortal for several breaths!"
The dozen or so Fire Spirit Sect disciples around him all nodded smugly.
"Senior Brother Chang is right! Senior Brother Yang's strength is not something that some random wild nun could possibly contend with!"
"She doesn't even know which sect is behind this! This wild nun dares to obstruct us. When the Fire Spirit Sect acts, even the Crane Immortal Sect has to stay out of the way!"
"She doesn't even dare to reveal her sect. Who knows which remote Buddhist sect she's from? She's probably never seen the world and doesn't know the prestige of our Fire Spirit Sect!"
Amidst the discussions among the many Fire Spirit Sect disciples, each face was filled with arrogance, and not a single one believed that this little nun was a match for their Senior Disciple Brother, Yang Ding!
but,
And they were right!
At first, the young nun from the Lingtai Buddhist Sect could easily suppress the attacks of a large number of Flame Sparrow.
However, as Yang Ding activated more and more Flame Sparrow, the Buddhist light emanating from her body began to gradually dim!
Upon seeing this, Yang Ding's face lit up with excitement, and he burst into laughter.
"Hmph, what a fool! I thought you had some amazing technique or treasure to stop me, but it turns out you just have a tortoise-shell-like Buddhist light defense!"
I'd like to see how many attacks I can withstand from your Fire Spirit Sparrow while you're just passively taking hits!
Before the words were finished,
He raised his hand, and the Flame Sparrow that had been flying around the little nuns suddenly changed their fighting style.
They no longer rushed towards the area within thirty feet of the Buddha's light, but instead flew to a position of thirty feet, then immediately let out a cry and transformed into an extremely bright flame, which suddenly exploded!
The giant Flame Sparrow, each tens of feet long (equivalent to hundreds of meters), possessed power comparable to Layer Nine Perfection cultivator. Now, as they exploded towards the Buddha's light, their power increased by more than tenfold!
This is equivalent to Layer Nine Perfection cultivator self-destructing on the spot!
Based on the analogy of modern weapons on Blue Star in Lin Xuankong's previous life, the self-destruction of each of these Flame Sparrow was almost equivalent to the explosive power of a TNT bomb weighing several thousand kilograms. How terrifying and horrifying was that power!
In the blink of an eye, dozens of explosions rang out.
"Boom boom boom"
A large amount of flames and shockwaves spread in all directions, and the shockwaves from the explosion shook the ground and buildings for dozens of miles around!
Those cultivators who were originally watching from hundreds of feet away all changed their expressions drastically. They all activated their True Qi to protect their bodies and retreated quickly into the distance. Even the disciples of the Crane Immortal Sect changed their expressions and took out their magic weapons to protect themselves and retreated to the rear!
Lin Xuankong, Li Xiaohu, Hu Shuo, Han Lu, and the others also frowned, channeling their True Qi to protect their entire bodies, and then using their magical artifacts to block the terrifying shockwave coming their way!
If the buildings in Crane Immortal City weren't made of special materials and covered with numerous immortal runes, these terrifying explosions would have instantly blasted huge craters several meters or even tens of meters deep into the surrounding ground!
However, as the explosions continued, although the little nun from the Lingtai Buddhist Sect was floating dozens of feet in the air, the constantly flashing immortal runes on the ground below her were gradually dimming. It was likely that in just a few breaths, the runes would shatter and be unable to maintain the integrity of the ground and the surrounding buildings!
The aftershocks from the explosion alone were already incredibly powerful.
One can only imagine how terrifying the power must have been for the young nun from the Lingtai Buddhist Sect who was directly attacked by those Flame Sparrow!
Under the relentless onslaught of explosions, her brow furrowed deeper and deeper, and the chanting of Buddhist Incantation grew faster and faster.
Unfortunately, the protective aura surrounding her was inevitably growing dimmer and dimmer, and the area it protected was shrinking!
When the 180th explosion rang out, the Buddhist Incantation chanted by the young nun from the Lingtai Buddhist Sect had become a single sound, and her face had turned deathly pale. The protective Buddhist aura around her body had also been suppressed by the terrifying self-destruction, leaving only a range of ten feet!
The surrounding cultivators had already retreated several thousand feet away, but even at this distance, their faces were still filled with apprehension and fear.
Especially those cultivators from remote dynasties who had never heard of the Fire Spirit Sect before.
Although these people were all the pride and darlings of their respective dynasties, whose status and strength far surpassed any cultivator in their own dynasty, after witnessing the power of the Fire Spirit Sect disciples' techniques and methods, their hearts pounded wildly, and their sense of superiority vanished!
"Is this the method of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect disciples? Activating countless demonic creatures of the same level to self-destruct and attack their opponents—this method is too powerful!"
"Even a Early Earth Immortal with ordinary cultivation techniques would be somewhat intimidated by this kind of method!"
"Yes, even a single demon of the same level can contend with a cultivator of the same level."
This disciple of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect not only summoned hundreds of demons, but also managed to incite these demons of the same level to self-destruct. With such attack methods, how could Mortal Transformation Realm cultivator possibly defeat him?
"The self-destruction of a demon of the same level"
If I were to try and withstand it head-on, a single explosion would likely severely injure me.
Wow, is this the power of disciples from immortal sects? Coming to the Crane Immortal Sect for the disciple recruitment ceremony was definitely the right decision; it's truly an eye-opening experience!
"This little nun is actually quite strong. She managed to withstand nearly two hundred explosions. Even Early Earth Immortal ordinary cultivation techniques would probably be injured after being hit by so many explosions. Yet she was only suppressed and has not been defeated yet!"
"Alas, the Crane Immortal Sect's Disciple Recruitment Competition Ceremony hasn't even started yet, and I've already encountered such a powerful ninth-level cultivator. I originally planned to participate in the competition and win a prize, but now it seems I truly underestimated the many geniuses and strong individuals of the Western Regions! It looks like I'll have to give up on this competition!"
"Yes! The disciples of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect are actually this strong. I think they have more than ten disciples participating in this competition. Doesn't that mean that more than ten of them might be able to enter the Crane Immortal Sect? But if the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect is so strong, why would their disciples need to join other immortal sects!"
Amid the discussions among the disciples,
Yang Ding, a disciple of the Fire Spirit Sect, was becoming increasingly smug.
At this point, he even slowed down the frequency of the explosions.
Because he didn't want to just blow up the little nun right away, he planned to humiliate her and torture her properly. Most importantly, he wanted to use one of the Fire Spirit Sect's strongest techniques to let the little nun experience what despair and terror were before she was defeated and died!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter again. "Where did your meddlesome act go? Hahahaha! What kind of bullshit defense is that? Under the Fire Spirit Divine Skill of my Fire Spirit Sect, you're nothing but a clay chicken and a clay dog!"
I have a suggestion: if you, little bald nun, can kneel down and surrender immediately, and then become Yang Ding servant, serving me comfortably every day, I might spare your life!
I, Yang Ding, have tried all kinds of women, and played with all kinds of women, but I've never played with a Buddhist nun before. This time, I'll have the chance to break my fast, hahahahaha!
The young nun from the Lingtai Buddhist Sect, who was being attacked by countless Flame Sparrow, turned extremely pale upon hearing Yang Ding's arrogant and domineering shout!
The surrounding cultivators, upon hearing Yang Ding's shout, not only showed their fear but also secretly shook their heads.
Li Xiaohu, always known for his straightforward temper, couldn't help but widen his eyes upon seeing this scene. " Adoptive Father, I just can't take it anymore! Why don't you let me kill this guy?"
At that very moment,
A voice suddenly came from afar.
"Brother Flame Blade Duan, it's been many years, but your temper hasn't changed at all. Your disciples have all picked up your temper too!"
However, this is the territory of my Crane Immortal Sect, and today is the day of my Crane Immortal Sect's Disciple Recruitment Competition Ceremony. For the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect to do this is rather disrespectful to my Crane Immortal Sect!"
When the sound first rang out, it seemed to be dozens of miles away. But when it was halfway through, it had already reached hundreds of feet away. Although the sound was not loud, it clearly reached the ears of every cultivator present. Even the extremely violent explosions of the Flame Sparrow could not suppress the sound!
Upon hearing this, Duan Flame Saber Duan He floating above the crimson clouds, showed a slight change in expression and turned to look into the distance.
The onlookers all looked toward the source of the sound, and their expressions turned solemn upon seeing who it was.
At this moment, a white cloud in mid-air had drifted to the location of the young Buddhist nun, and on the cloud stood two cultivators whose bodies radiated immortal energy.
One of them was wearing an indigo Daoist robe embroidered with auspicious white clouds, and miniature illusory cranes were constantly flying around his body, making him look extremely agile.
The other person was dressed in a white Buddhist robe.
Tall and well-proportioned, with a dignified and beautiful face.
It was none other than the Lingtai Buddhist Sect's Jialin Bodhisattva, whom Lin Xuankong had once saved!
However, at this moment, Jialin Bodhisattva was clearly slightly displeased.
When Lin Xuankong met her before, this Jialin Bodhisattva was quite low-key and never actively emitted any immortal energy fluctuations. Even when she entered the Immortal City through the gate of Crane Immortal City, not a single passing cultivator recognized her as a true Earth Immortal!
At this moment, however, her expression was solemn, and her body radiated a great deal of esoteric Buddhist light.
Moreover, these cryptic Buddhist lights were more complex and mysterious than when I met Lin Xuankong some time ago, and the fluctuations of their immortal energy were much more peaceful and mellow!
Upon seeing this scene, Lin Xuankong's eyes flickered, and he thought to himself: When this Jialin Bodhisattva fought against the four Demonic Being of the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect last time, her Buddhist light was not so peaceful and pure. Now, she clearly has improved her strength. It seems that the Life and Death Battle with the four Demonic Being helped this Jialin Bodhisattva break through some bottlenecks!
The question is, now that Jialin Bodhisattva has arrived, will Duan He of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect Flame Saber Duan He, give her any face?
After all, although the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect Flame Saber Duan He belonged, was far weaker than the Lingtai Buddhist Sect, Flame Saber Duan He was still one of the vice sect leaders of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect Duan He had already reached the Late Layer Three, and should be able to easily suppress Jialin Bodhisattva!
