Chapter 242 Still Have to Come
Several monks lunged forward. Li Ye looked serious, but he didn’t stop rushing forward. He jumped up and chopped down his Luke Sword fiercely. The other side lifted their knives to block it. Sword Qi blew away several monks, and eventually, the sword hit on a long stick which was raised horizontally.
The monk was at Level 9 of Qi-refining. He was as tall as an iron tower, and his gaze was as majestic as a statue of Buddha. When he blocked Li Ye’s sword, he looked happy. But as soon as the joy appeared on his eyes, it was replaced by horror, because the Luke Sword directly cut off the long stick and immediately cut his body into two halves from his forehead.
Li Ye rushed through the mist of blood. He obliquely wielded his Luke Sword and cut off a monk’s arm from his shoulder. He fiercely punched out his right fist and hit a monk, who was flying over, in the chest so that the monk flew away. He swept his Luke Sword horizontally and cut off a monk’s magic treasure and his head.
Several monks were besieging him. Li Ye stamped on the ground violently. Waves of Qi burst out and blew away all the coming people. He continued to run forward. After the Luke Sword hit away several magic treasures, he punched out again. His arm went straight into a monk’s lower abdomen and came out from his back.
A cane went toward his throat. Li Ye leaned his upper body backward and slid forward with his knees bent, so the cane flew over his cheeks. After his arm used force on the ground, Li Ye turned around and spun up. Waves of scale-like sword light spread out, surrounding him and shooting out. Several monks, who were rushing over, fell to the ground, their blood splashing.
After landing, Li Ye wielded his sword vertically and cut a monk, who was about to wielded down the sledgehammer, in half from the middle. Other several monks gathered around him and directly opened their arms to embrace him. Li Ye bent over and rotated in situ. The sword light spread out into a circle. Then, the monks flew backward at the same time.
Li Ye rushed in again, and Sword Qi opened a way ahead, like a tiger going down the mountain and a wolf into the flock of sheep. Any monk, who came within a certain radius of his body, would be hit by the strange Sword Qi and would be either killed or injured.
Li Ye killed the monks very violently along the way as if he had the power that could break mountains.
Suspending in the air, Tian Luo and Fa Yi witnessed the battle situation of the monk corps, with gloomy faces.
In just a moment, more than 100 monks were killed or wounded, while Li Ye was still advancing bravely. As Li Ye rushed among the white monks, the monk corps also moved around him. They were not in the same position. Bodies scattered all the way with dazzling blood.
Fa Yi couldn’t help but murmur as he saw Li Ye acting like an immortal, “Do we really need to launch the Great Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation to deal with him?”
Tian Luo sneered and said, “The Great Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation is not prepared for Li Ye. He’s not qualified yet!”
Tian Luo was right. Buddhism went out of the world to compete for the country. Its biggest enemy was, of course, the Taoist sect, especially the cyan swordsman who fled from the Great Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation with serious injuries a hundred years ago.
After all, the Taoist sect had a profound foundation and thousands of years of history. It was said that a centipede wouldn’t topple over even when it was dead. Although the Taoist sect was declining, no one knew whether they had hidden any Great Power in the dark or not, so Buddhism had to guard against them.
The Great Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation was to deal with the unknown, mysterious, and powerful masters of the Taoist sect.
The power of the Great Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation was unpredictable. For hundreds of years, countless top masters of the country went west to the Big Snow Temple in Golden Mountain, but they all died of the Great Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation.
Such an elite weapon couldn’t be used at will. In fact, it could only be used once every ten years, and once it was used, it had to rest for ten years. Otherwise, with the Great Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation, Buddhism would be invincible, and it would be able to take over the world long ago.
If the Great Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation was used on Li Ye today, what should Buddhism do when encountering the Great Power of the Taoist sect in the future?
Li Ye had never been on the list of Buddhism’s biggest enemies. If he had not suddenly killed Huang Chao, recaptured Chang’an, and improved to the Spiritual Pool Spiritual Master, Buddhism would not take him seriously at all. After all, Buddhism had 18 guardian warriors, 36 arhats, and the 800 monks’ corps...
“This devil has appeared out of thin air and caused so much trouble to our Buddhism, he should go to hell, have no chance to be reborn again, and suffer endless torture!”
Tian Luo gnashed his teeth and then snorted. “But now, he can’t hold out much longer. He has reached his limit for he has killed more than 100 monks in the formation of the monk corps. Look, his momentum is declining, so he will soon die!”
Indeed, Li Ye, in the formation of the monk corps, was not as powerful as he had been just now, because he had consumed a lot of Spiritual Qi. He seemed to kill people very fast, but the constraints of the monk corps on him were everywhere. In other words, Li Ye had no choice but kill people very fast. And if he couldn’t kill people fast, it meant that he would be besieged and that the room for him to move would be shrinking.
“Pfft.” Li Ye had a wound on his shoulder again, with blood splashing.
Li Ye became serious. The Luke Sword seemed to sense Li Ye’s anger, making buzzing sounds. Li Ye wielded his sword backhand. The Luke Sword was shining, and the wind blew around it wildly. Sword Qi shot out and cut all the approaching monks into two halves.
Such a scene happened from time to time. Li Ye soon had two more wounds. However, the 800 monks’ corps had less than 200 casualties so far.
“The devil is finished.” Tian Luo smiled confidently.
Fa Yi also breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, this unexpected disaster was coming to an end.
The oblique valley, dozens of kilometers away from the south of Qi Mountain.
Many people, the Taoists, gathered here.
Xu Pingjing from Zhongnan Mountain, Bai Jingxue from Shushan, Wu Jinling from Xuelu, Wang Sanxian from Dongting, and Zhang Jiuling who just returned.
In front of them, there was a huge, square mirror with 3 meters. It was shining with colorful light, and its decoration was covered with runes. It was obviously a magic treasure. The mirror showed the battle situation of Qi Mountain.
Seeing Li Ye gradually lacking energy, all of them looked confident and felt happy that the big trouble was going to be got rid of.
Xu Pingjing was smiling, as if he was enjoying a singing and dancing show. “It is really unexpected that Li Ye has killed 18 guardian warriors and 36 arhats. No one can block such a kind of fighting ability all over the Taoist sects. If Buddhism can kill him today, it helps us to solve this great trouble.”
Bai Jingxue sneered and said, “Zhongnan Mountain can’t kill him, but it doesn’t mean that my Shushan can’t kill him either.”
Xu Pingjing narrowed his eyes slightly. If it was in the past, he naturally would sniff at Bai Jingxue’s words, but it was different now. Six hundred years later, the Sword Wielder appeared in Shushan again, so their power was not the same as before. Their fighting ability became the first among the five major Taoist sects.
Every time he thought of it, Xu Pingjing’s heart couldn’t remain calm. If Shushan became powerful, it meant that the feudal princes in Sichuan would be bound to be powerful. This was not good news for Zhu Wen, who was supported by Zhongnan Mountain.
Xu Pingjing slowly said, “Anyway, after Li Ye’s death, the forces of the world will return to normal. At that time, the five major Taoist sects will support different feudal princes to contend for hegemony over the world, relying on our own abilities.”
Wu Jinling shook his head and sighed. “Li Ye was born, like a devil. Except for the Great Immortal-killing Formation, we, the Taoist sects, have no way to deal with him. Now, Buddhism hasn’t yet launched the Great Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation, but Li Ye is going to be defeated. 18 guardian warriors, 36 arhats, and the 800 monks’ corps... They are indeed extraordinary. If Li Ye didn’t kill so many people of Buddhism, these forces would be put into the situation of the world’s competition. If so, I’m afraid that our five major Taoist sects won’t be able to win the world in the end.”
Bai Jingxue sneered and said coldly, “The country belongs to the Taoist sect and the Immortal Court. For eight hundred years, Buddhism has never been successful. Even if Buddhism has gathered dozens of cultivators in the Kong Kim Realm and 800 high-level Qi-refining cultivators this time, it won’t succeed either. Even if Li Ye can’t kill them today and our five major Taoist sects can’t deal with them either, the immortal will descend to the human world.”
Xu Pingjing slowly said, “It’s easy to say that the immortal will descend to the human world, but the immortal won’t do that unless there is no other way. Since the separation of heaven and earth, there has been a barrier between the immortal and humans. It’s very difficult for human beings to become immortals, and most of the immortals descend to the human world by reincarnation. If they directly descend, their strength will surely be greatly diminished.”
“After reincarnation, their immortal power is inside their bodies, so they will have a chance to awaken. Once they assist the True Dragon to fulfill his grand ambition, they will become immortals again. However, the cultivation of those immortals, who directly came down from Kunlun, will be declined greatly. What’s more, it’s unknown whether they can become immortals again or not. Who dare to take such a risk at will?”
Bai Jingxue’s gaze was as cold as ice, and she was about to say something. Wu Jinling and Wang Sanxian saw that the two people were going to argue again, so they quickly changed the topic. “Look, Li Ye was hit again. He seems not to be in a good state today.”
Zhang Jiuling snorted. His eyes showed the joy of revenge. “He has just fought 18 guardian warriors and 36 arhats, so he is black and blue all over, and his Spiritual Qi is exhausted. He just had a little break, and then, he went to Qi Mountain. He is no longer in his heyday. It is a miracle that he has held out for so long. He will die definitely.”
Xu Pingjing gave up arguing with Bai Jingxue. He smiled and said, “He will die without...”
He was about to say a “he will die without a doubt”. Suddenly, Wu Jinling shook his fat neck and looked astonished. “Look, who is that?”
Everyone looked at the mirror as they heard Wu Jinling’s words. In the vast wilderness in front of Qi Mountain, a silver-haired man dressed in cyan robes rushed straight toward the group of white monks with his sword. He was as fast as an arrow off the bow, and dust flew behind his feet.
“Who is that man?” Xu Pingjing was shocked. “His cultivation is in the Spiritual Master Realm.”
“I haven’t seen him before.” Everyone looked at that man and shook their heads.
“Are there people, who are in the Spiritual Master Realm, in the world you and I have not seen?” Xu Pingjing opened his eyes wide.
Tian Luo was also shocked as he saw the coming person. “The Taoist sect comes to help?”
Fa Yi looked at the coming person carefully with a solemn face. That person was dressed in pure cyan robes, without any ornamentation. He had long black and white hair. He looked elegant and fierce. Shaking his head, Fa Yi said, “He is probably not from the Taoist sect. He isn’t wearing Taoist robes... There are few people, who are in the Spiritual Master Realm, in the five major Taoist sects, and he’s not one of them.”
Tian Luo’s face darkened. “Who is that?”
The coming person rushed before the monk corps. Suddenly, he jumped up. The long sword in his hand was shining with cyan light. He fiercely chopped down his sword. A 60-meter long cyan light fell into the formation, and a huge gap appeared on the ground. The monks below the Sword Qi all died immediately, and the monks on both sides of the Sword Qi vomited blood and flew backward
