…
In Shaolin, many eminent monks of the Buddhist sect all made their moves. They chanted the Buddhist dharma and supplemented it with spiritual energy, materializing the power of the Buddhist sutras.
Golden runes spread out from everyone’s mouths and poured into the deep well like unceasing river water.
The extremely firm and pure Buddhist power continuously gathered at the mouth of the well, suppressing the blood-colored demonic energy that was about to surge up.
Both sides were in a stalemate. That power was simply too strong.
Even if so many martial arts experts of the Buddhist sect attacked at the same time, they would not be able to completely suppress it.
That was something that could not be helped because suppression and annihilation were different.
If it was annihilation, if they attacked at the same time and used Buddhist power to kill, they could also do it.
After all, that was the combined power of the entire Shaolin upper echelon.
The problem was that they definitely could not kill Li Liushui.
Li Liushui was a Xiantian ninth-grade martial arts expert, and he was extremely important to the entire nine provinces.
How could someone kill him so easily?
They had to find a way to save him.
Therefore, they had to use the power of Buddhism on one side to suppress him, and on the other side, they had to use the power of Buddhism to influence him, strengthen his soul, and then pull him back on the right track.
From that point of view, the power was not only divided into two parts. The power consumed by each part was not less than the power used to kill Li Liushui directly.
In this way, the Shaolin monks needed a force that was stronger than usual, or even several times stronger than usual.
However, they could not increase their strength by several times, so it resulted in that tug-of-war.
Fortunately, after their unremitting efforts, the situation was much better now.
At least, Li Liushui’s demonic energy had been suppressed.
Now that the rising trend was suppressed, there was still hope.
The group of eminent monks finally got a chance to catch their breath.
After working hard for several days and nights, they had not even drunk a mouthful of water, nor eat a mouthful of rice, and had not even closed their eyes to rest.
“Amitabha! It seems that this time, Saber God Li is a lucky person, and he turned misfortune into luck.”
“It’s really Buddha’s blessing. If he were to rush out like this, not to mention Shaolin, the entire nine provinces would probably become a river of blood.”
“Alright, everyone take a rest and then go all out. Suppress her evil aura.”
“Yes!”
Everyone shouted in unison. However, in the next second, an accident suddenly occurred.
Suddenly, a stream of blood-colored demonic energy shot out from behind the crowd and headed straight for the well.
The monks’ expressions changed drastically!
“Not good! Stop him! Don’t let him touch that well!”
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The monks had just opened their mouths when the blood-colored demonic energy arrived at the well.
However, before the Shaolin group could make a move, he placed his palm on his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood, which fell into the well.
“No!”
The monks cried out in alarm. Some of the martial arts experts had already attacked her.
In the next second, several attacks sent him flying at the same time, causing him to fall heavily to the ground.
“It’s Xu Sanniang? You vile creature!”
Xu Sanniang ignored the injuries on her body and chuckled.
“Around 300 years ago, in order to gather the star beasts of the 72 Devil Dens, your Shaolin group imprisoned my husband and me in each of the 72 devil dens, causing my husband to die of depression.
“I have yet to settle this score with you.
“Coincidentally, a few days ago, lightning descended and destroyed the pagoda that sealed me. I didn’t eat or drink for so many days and hid in Shaolin, waiting for this moment.”
“Vile creature! Death is at hand and you still don’t repent. Back then, we imprisoned your husband because he devoured a large number of humans and committed a grave sin. Now that you have ruined the Shaolin affairs, I can’t let you live.”
Several attacks once again landed on Xu Sanniang’s head.
Xu Sanniang smiled coldly.
“What’s there to be afraid of? 300 years ago, when my husband died, I had already died along with him. What was left behind was just a stinking body without a soul. Today, I used my blood to release Li Liushui’s demonic nature. He will avenge me and my husband.”
As she finished speaking, the attacks of the many Buddhist monks landed on her head at the same time, and she was immediately released.
However, it was just as she had said. Just as she had died, an unimaginable demonic energy erupted from the deep well that locked Li Liushui. It soared into the sky and reached the clouds.
The clouds in the sky were burned by that blood-colored demonic energy, and they were dyed red.
“Not good! Retreat quickly! None of the disciples under the divine sect are allowed to stay here.”
After the headmaster gave the order, the Shaolin monks retreated.
Following that, an earth-shattering explosion sounded as the ground cracked. A majestic aura was released from the deep well.
Sensing that unparalleled aura, all of the Shaolin monks could not help but feel terrified.
Too powerful!
The Saber God Li Liushui’s killing intent had gathered and spread at that moment. The momentum was like water bursting through a dam, unable to be suppressed at all.
“Headmaster! What do we do?”
The few remaining divine sects in Shaolin were extremely nervous.
Although they were already divine grandmasters, they were extremely nervous when facing Li Liushui. It was as if they were not powerful divine grandmasters at all, but insignificant ants.
The headmaster of Shaolin’s expression was solemn as he said,
“At this point, we can only use force to suppress her. If we can’t suppress her demonic energy, then we can only send her to the Western Paradise World.”
“Yes!”
“He is too strong. We don’t want to fight him alone. Set up the Demon-subduing Vajra Array and use the array to suppress him.”
With the headmaster’s order, everyone immediately began to set up the array.
The Demon-subduing Vajra Array could be considered one of Shaolin’s ultimate array techniques. It was one of the best of the Shaolin array.
Its power had reached the level of an imperial array.
For many years, no one had been able to escape from that array!
Not to mention, that array was being executed by the only few divine grandmasters in Shaolin. The might contained within was unimaginable.
Even if the other party was at the peak of the Xiantian ninth grade, there was no way he could escape.
The golden light began to light up once more and surrounded Li Liushui.
Li Liushui was dressed in a plain-colored robe. His robes fluttered in the wind, and his beard and hair danced in the wind. His body was surrounded by blood essence, and demonic energy soared into the sky.
It could be seen that he himself also wanted to control that energy. However, his strength was really limited, and there was no way he could suppress it.
At that moment, seeing Shaolin’s array, it aroused his desire to fight. He immediately mobilized the energy in his body and slashed out with his saber.
Boom!
The spiritual energy mixed with the blood-colored killing intent condensed into a blood-colored saber ray that was more than a hundred feet long. It ruthlessly hacked at the Demon-subduing Vajra Array.
Under that attack, the entire array could not help but shake violently.
Everyone’s hearts trembled.
They had not expected that his attack power was already very strong. However, when they actually took his attack, they realized that their attack was far stronger than what they saw.
After failing in one slash, Li Liushui slashed again.
Then, he slashed again for the third, fourth, and fifth slash…
With each slash, his strength was stronger than before. With each slash, the array would tremble violently.
Two of the weaker Xiantian seventh-grade divine grandmasters even began to spit out blood. Their bodies trembled continuously and they found it unbearable.
Cracks gradually appeared on the array along with Li Liushui’s continuous attacks.
Crack, Crack…
Finally, when the tenth slash was unleashed, the array could no longer hold on and exploded on the spot.
Boom!
A huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky. The powerful shockwave sent everyone back several steps!
Splat!
Some of the divine grandmasters even began to spurt out blood as they suffered heavy injuries from the shockwave.
“Headmaster, we can’t hold on any longer. He’s too strong! We’re not his match at all.”
The headmaster was even more anxious than them. However, at that critical moment, a huge golden sword ray suddenly fell from the sky.
Boom!
That sword ray fell down and slashed fiercely at Li Liushui’s body, sending him directly to the ground.
“Brother Liushui, wake up quickly!”
“Lu Qingshan, Sword Saint Lu Qingshan is here!”
The crowd was delighted. With a sword saint here, they would be able to share the burden.
Lu Qingshan’s sword had struck Li Liushui’s body while Li Liushui was not paying attention, causing the spiritual energy in Li Liushui’s body to vibrate violently. His body was severely injured, and the pressure on his soul was reduced significantly, his spiritual wisdom slowly regained consciousness.
The Shaolin headmaster took the opportunity to place a string of Buddha beads on Li Liushui’s chest, suppressing the remaining demonic energy in his body.
A moment later, a weak murmur came from Li Liushui’s mouth.
“I’m sorry… For troubling everyone.”
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that.
“Your consciousness has finally returned. Congratulations.”
Li Liushui’s consciousness gradually cleared up. He slowly stood up and carried the Buddhist bracelet in his hand.
“The attack just now, coupled with the Buddhist bracelet that Shaolin has nurtured for many years, woke me up. However, this is only a temporary situation. It won’t be able to completely cure my soul. Sooner or later, it will explode again.”
Everyone’s expressions were extremely grave.
Earlier, Li Liushui was still holding on. His attack power had not been unleashed to the limit.
Even so, his strength was not something that ordinary people could compare to.
If he was completely possessed, who else would be able to stop him? Who else would be able to save him?
Lu Qingshan pondered for a moment before saying,
“Brother Liushui, go to Jianghai city! Maybe there is an existence there that can save you.”
