A Buddha's voice roared in, also coming quickly and unexpectedly. It echoed in the hall instantly like thunder, shocking people's minds. This also caused the aura of Shuang Qingqing behind Li Yan to surge with it.
At the moment when Shuang Qingqing's mana, which was already flowing rapidly, surged, Shuang Qingqing felt his eyes blur, and at the same time, sound of breaking through the air came from all around.
Then she found that around herself and Li Yan, there were eighteen more figures coming together in a circle, and streams of Buddhist Vajra breath rose into the sky.
"Eighteen Arhat Formation?"
Shuang Qingqing couldn't help blurting out the moment he saw the appearance of the eighteen Arhats.
As Shuang Qingqing's Divine Sense swept around, he discovered that there were a lot of statues missing on the side against the wall, leaving exactly eighteen positions.
But the eighteen statues surrounding the two of them seemed to have come to life. The Buddha's sound on their bodies also emitted golden light that reached the sky.
Li Yan narrowed his eyes. The ray of energy he just popped out was popped out with his own physical strength, and these statues that were originally lifeless came to life in an instant.
He originally just took action to test what he had in mind, but unexpectedly it turned out that not only was there a problem with this statue, there was actually a Buddhist formation encircling it!
When Li Yan floated to explore this place before, of course, in order to prevent accidents, various protections were turned on.
But when he arrived in front of the sitting deer Arhat, the other person's eyes seemed to move, and Li Yan felt that his perception was not wrong.
That's why he asked Shuang Qingqing what kind of Arhat the other party was, and the explanation Shuang Qingqing gave made Li Yan's heart move.
Both he and Shuang Qingqing took corresponding measures to protect themselves, but the difference between him and Shuang Qingqing was that he also secretly circulated the power of "Qiongqi Purgatory Art" throughout his body.
Because the two of them had said before that Buddhist techniques were very powerful, Li Yan was considering that if there was danger here, the first attack of Buddhists might be to destroy the physical body first.
So he put in an extra layer of protection. After hearing Shuang Qingqing say that this Arhat was the head of the Eighteen Arhats, Li Yan instantly thought of a possible situation.
Even if he doesn't know much about many things in Buddhism, he still knows the names of the Eighteen Arhats. These Eighteen Arhats are like guardians of the Buddhist homes and courtyards.
And their role is to drive away any evil and evil, to subjugate demons and provide protection.
And he used the power of "Qiongqi Purgatory Art". You must know that Qiongqi is one of the four peerless ferocious beasts. The appearance of such ferocious beasts in Buddhism is a source of evil that must be suppressed.
Li Yan doesn't know why the Arhat here still has such spirituality. He obviously didn't feel any spiritual energy fluctuations from the other party, but there should be something abnormal in his eyes behind him.
So, Li Yan had a guess, and immediately mobilized the power of "Qiongqi Purgatory Art" to launch an attack on the Arhat.
And in the next moment, there were eighteen Arhats surrounding the two of them.
"These statues can still move?"
Shuang Qingqing A surprised voice came from one side. She had never noticed anything special about the materials of these statues, but then the two of them had no time to continue talking.
"Woo! Suddenly! Buzz..."
All of a sudden, various strange roars were heard, and the eighteen Arhats shook rapidly and immediately launched an overwhelming attack on the two of them.
Some of them were holding magic wands in their hands, some were carrying thick strange trees, some were dancing vajra pestles, and some were wielding fists the size of alms bowls. They pounced on them at the wrong step...
Li Yan's eyes flashed, and he saw five or six Arhats pounce on him first. The other Arhats either pounced on Shuang Qingqing, or blocked all the ways for the two of them.
"It is indeed the Eighteen Arhat Formation!"
There are several famous formations in the Buddhist sect, and Li Yan knows about them, especially the Eighteen Arhat formation, which he had encountered the earliest in the Wheel of Life and Death, and it really has a lot in common with the one before him.
If it were different, the movements of the eighteen statues here are more complicated and confusing, and the attack methods are even more complicated. After all, those Pure Land Sect monks in the Wheel of Life and Death back then were only in the Foundation Establishment realm.
"Tum!"
Li Yan With a detour, he reached the back of an Arhat. He slapped the opponent's back with one palm. The vajra in the Arhat's hand made a strange whistling sound and smashed it into the air.
And this Arhat Statue's whole body also slipped forward instantly under this strong force...
"Senior sister, be careful, this thing is made of weird materials!"
Li Yan saw that Shuang Qingqing was not directly connected at this moment, but was surrounded by several Arhat Statue like butterflies passing through flowers, flying as fast as smoke, but there was a radiance in her eyes...
When Li Yan slapped the Arhat on the back, a yellow light emerged from the opponent's body, and then Li Yan felt as if he had hit a pile of boulders with his palm.
But now, as long as it is not a special fairy stone, Li Yan can be easily beaten to powder with one palm.
So this feeling is more precisely like a mortal warrior punching a boulder, and his whole arm was slightly numb from the shock. Li Yan couldn't help but immediately reminded Shuang Qingqing.
And just when the Arhat was slapped hard by Li Yan's palm and slid forward in shock, Li Yan felt that his eyes were blurred, and several attacks had already hit him close to him.
"What a fast movement!"
Li Yan couldn't help but be surprised. After his slap just now, judging from the strength of the counterattack, the opponent's strength was in the late Spirit Transformation, which was nothing to him.
But as he struck out, the remaining attacks blocked his Arhat Statue, and his speed suddenly increased several times, which made Li Yan almost unable to keep up with the opponent's attack rhythm.
This time, Li Yan felt as if the blow he had just made had his entire body stirred up and stirred up a hornet's nest in an instant.
Li Yan In an instant, there were double images on top of each other, alternating between virtual and real. However, he swayed and slid out like light smoke from a gap below that was about to close.
"Boom boom boom..."
A series of loud noises came from behind Li Yan. The attacks of seven or eight Arhats accumulated and hit the ground almost simultaneously, causing the entire hall to shake.
However, under such a fierce attack from Li Yan and Divine Sense, the ground did not crack and was still intact.
The gravity attack of so many Arhats only erupted into clouds of yellow light on the ground in the hall. It seemed that all the materials in the entire hall were similar to those used to carve these Arhats.
Li Yan At this time, except for the eighteen Arhats leaping down the stone steps, hundreds of other statues remained motionless, as if they were dead objects before.
This also made him feel a little relieved. If five hundred Arhats attacked together, even if they were all Spirit Transformation Realm, he and Shuang Qingqing might not be able to escape easily, because it was a Buddhist formation, not a single combat force.
At the moment when the attacking air waves behind him spread, Li Yan also completely saw the strength of Arhat Statue, all of which were the unified late-stage strength of Spirit Transformation.
In his mind, this kind of strength is naturally impossible to surprise Li Yan, and even in normal times, it would not make Li Yan lift his spirits even a little bit.
But what surprised him now was that when surrounded by these Arhat Statue, the power displayed by those air waves reached the level of the Late Void Refinement Realm.
"This is the Eighteen Arhat Formation. It has actually crossed a huge realm. Fortunately, it's not like five hundred Arhats are attacking at the same time...
But the attacks of these statues are prohibited attacks in this temple? Is it because of those weird material refining, or is it some kind of puppet? "
Li Yan In a flash of thought, with his rich experience in facing enemies, he immediately thought of the possible reasons.
Although he escaped the encirclement of several Arhats and seemed to be very relaxed, that was because his body skills were stronger and his cultivation level was higher.
And this has made Li Yan still extremely frightened by this formation. Sure enough, the attack methods of Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism are unparalleled by normal sects.
At this time, three more Arhat Statue appeared on both sides of him. They formed a triangle and attacked Li Yan like tigers!
At the same time, two of the several Arhats that Li Yan had just avoided were within range of the three Arhats, but they turned around and surrounded Li Yan again with the three Arhat Statue that had just come around.
Li Yan was not given any chance to breathe. At this time, there was also a shocking explosion in front of Li Yan.
"Rumble..."
The entire hall shook violently again amid the loud noise.
"Junior Brother Li, don't hurt them. This is a very special kind of puppet. When they join forces, they should be able to unleash the strongest power beyond a large realm.
You help me hold off part of it, and I'll take care of the rest. I'll explain the rest to you. It's a big favor for you, okay? "
In the midst of the sky-high explosions, Shuang Qingqing's voice suddenly entered Li Yan's mind, and his tone was full of discussion.
Li Yan first elbowed the Arhat who was rushing forward, and at the same time quickly glanced at Shuang Qingqing. With so many statues approaching, those Arhats suddenly accelerated their attacks.
How can Shuang Qingqing's body skills be compared with Li Yan's. Li Yan is Divine Ability who is burdened with "the wind soaring to the sky". Shuang Qingqing, coupled with his worries, can't deal with it as easily as Li Yan.
Therefore, even if Shuang Qingqing is a monk of the Middle Void Refinement Realm, these Luo Liu statues are only in the later stages of Spirit Transformation, but in such a narrow space, she and Li Yan are completely trapped in each other's formation.
This was tantamount to a close fight with these statues. After all, she was still a cultivator and could no longer shuttle through them as she had at the beginning.
But Shuang Qingqing is not rigid in her fighting style. More than ten puppets immediately appeared around her body, immediately blocking the attack of those statues.
"Okay!"
Li Yan transmitted the message without any hesitation.
"Boom!"
Suddenly another piece of yellow light flashed in front of him.
"Huh?"
Li Yan couldn't help but let out a sigh, and the three Arhats rushed towards him in an instant. Just when one of the Arhats hit him with his magic wand, he pushed his elbow into the middle of the long staff.
The other two Arhats flanking him made a random mistake, and all the attacks originally aimed at him hit the back of the Arhat in the middle.
As for the two Arhats behind Li Yan, one of them also made a flash step and reached the side of the other Arhat, and also hit the other Arhat on the shoulder with a palm.
The other Arhat suddenly squatted down from a horse stance, and a yellow light instantly appeared from under his feet, but it did not attack Li Yan.
The yellow light spread rapidly along the ground, and in an instant it reached the feet of Arhat holding the magic wand. The yellow light entered the opponent's body the next moment.
Li Yan, in addition to his own judgment and the sound transmission from Shuang Qingqing, had already determined that these Arhat Statue were all puppets. He did not expect that the other party would change his tactics like this.
He was slightly stunned, but at this moment, he had an elbow on the magic wand, and suddenly a fierce force was transmitted from the wand.
This force is so strong that if a Middle Void Refinement Realm monk really competes with its fleshy peak, he may be forced back by the opponent in an instant, and even the energy and blood will flow back and be injured. Of course, this is for Dharma cultivators.
Although Li Yan has only been exposed to this set of formations for a short time, Li Yan has already seen some of the tricks. He has so much experience in fighting that he has made a judgment in just a very short confrontation.
This set of Eighteen Arhat Formation fully brings into play the strong and domineering specialty of the Buddhist sect. Therefore, the main purpose of this formation is to comprehensively suppress and kill, and subdue the demon with force!
It was an endless fight from the beginning. The eighteen Arhats were completely intertwined like butterflies piercing flowers. They rushed over like mountains like lightning, which was the space for the trapped monks to escape in the rapid compression.
Eighteen Arhats advanced in all directions like a superimposed wave, pressing the people inside into a narrow long space in the shortest possible time.
Once an enemy enters this formation, it would be better if you are a physical practitioner, but if you are a normal practitioner, it may only take a few encounters to kill you inside.
Because in such a dense and staggered attack by the opponent, physical practitioners can fight quickly with fighting skills, while legal practitioners who want to use pinch techniques may be continuously interrupted.
The opponent's personal fight is coming like a tidal wave and will not give you any chance to breathe!
The five statues of Arhat that Li Yan is facing now suddenly seem to have intelligence. Not only do they know how to siege, but they also know how to use a method of superimposing power to instantly increase their own strength.
This is a bit like a martial arts master among mortals, transferring the inner strength of one person to another. When several people join forces, the power of the attack will be doubled immediately.
Of course, this approach seems simple, but in fact, the so-called superposition of power requires extremely clever means and cooperation.
Otherwise, the power movement in your body is already in a perfect balance, and the sudden addition of power will make it difficult to control the perfect integration.
What's more, sometimes multiple forces enter the body at the same time. When so many external forces penetrate, one bad thing is that oneself will explode and die first.
So when Li Yan saw the five statues of Arhats being attacked, he was able to improvise and use this method as if he had intelligence. He immediately thought about whether some soul had been refined into these statues?
Li Yan Although he is not a puppet master, he has a good understanding of the basics. Refining souls is also a refining method in puppets.
However, it is not easy to find the right soul. Low-level souls are meaningless. For high-level souls, you must first consider whether you can beat others, so as not to end up becoming the dead soul of others.
Moreover, the properties of the soul must match the refining materials of the puppet. Under various restrictions, monks are often more willing to use Divine Sense to control the puppet.
Li Yan After agreeing, he will focus on fighting. These puppets are very powerful, but their overall strength is still limited.
Li Yan just fought for a moment and found out that when at least three Arhats were needed to surround him, they would be able to exert their strength without Void Refinement Early Stage on a business trip.
When the power of five Arhats is superimposed, the power of the Void Refinement Realm can be exerted in the mid-term; when the power of eight Arhats is combined, it can achieve the terrifying attack of the Late Void Refinement Realm.
But that's all it can do. No matter how many Arhats are superimposed later, they can't break through the Void Refinement Realm's strength. This is consistent with Shuang Qingqing's previous sound transmission judgment.
Although Li Yan is not a puppet master, he has communicated many things about puppets with Bai Rou, especially during the long years when Cangxuan Realm escorted Bai Rou back, the two communicated more.
Therefore, Li Yan's understanding of puppets is much higher than that of normal monks, and he can even refine some puppets himself.
Bai Rou said that if a puppet wants to fight beyond the level, it does not just need to be burned into the high-level formation. The necessary conditions have also been mentioned to Li Yan one by one.
