"You dare ruin my plans? Die!"
Just then, Baoshan let out a thunderous roar and hurled a Buddhist Monk's Spade at Bai Xiaotian.
Dark light blazed from the axe-blade end of the Monk's Spade. Before it even drew near, layers of crescent-shaped blades of light rippled outward like waves on water, slashing down at Bai Xiaotian.
Bai Xiaotian had to keep the Rebirth Road from dissipating and could not spare his hands to respond. He could only summon a Golden Bell magical artifact.
"Dong..."
With a toll like that of an ancient temple bell, the Golden Bell hovered above his head. Golden light shone down, forming the enormous phantom of a bell around him, which spun with a howling rush.
The Golden Bell also bore inscriptions, but its characters were as small as grains of rice. They formed the Buddhist School's Immovable Wisdom King Mantra.
"Dong!" A tremendous toll rang out.
The first crescent blade of light from the Monk's Spade struck the phantom bell. A string of tolls followed as layer upon layer of light blades battered it like a furious storm.
The phantom bell's light shuddered wildly, and the Golden Bell itself swayed unsteadily above Bai Xiaotian's head.
Yet though its tolls were chaotic and the bell swayed, Bai Xiaotian's heart remained unmoved. He was determined to deliver every last lingering soul in the square.
"Boom!"
The Monk's Spade itself finally crashed into the phantom bell, and a sky-shaking roar resounded across the square.
The phantom bell shattered on impact, bursting into countless fragments of illusory light.
Amid the chaos, the last soul vanished along the Rebirth Road. Finally freed, Bai Xiaotian changed his hand signs and formed the Immovable Wisdom King Seal.
With a vibrating hum, the Golden Bell itself blazed with light.
