In the cave, what transpired was unknown to the outside world. Only Liu Li Bodhisattva, situated within the Blissful Buddhist Sect, furrowed his brow. He glanced in the direction of the cave, sensing an anomaly. However, the fluctuation was fleeting, leaving him uncertain if his perception was accurate.
"Ji Yu, what exactly are you doing?"
Liu Li Bodhisattva whispered, his expression solemn.
Beyond the mountain-protecting grand array of the Blissful Buddhist Sect, an ocean of fire met the eye. The Dragon King Palace's modern weaponry unleashed a furious barrage, yet the array remained unyielding.
Li Xiaotian raised his hand, and all the modern weapons instantly ceased their assault. The battlefield plunged into an unnerving silence, not a single sound breaking the stillness.
Gazing at the undamaged mountain-protecting grand array before him, Li Xiaotian's brow furrowed slightly. So many cannonballs had failed to breach this array, which surprised him.
*Hum!*
Li Xiaotian gripped his saber with both hands, channeling terrifying energy into it. The saber hummed, distorting space, as he swung it towards the array.
*Bang!*
With a resounding crash, the blade energy exploded and dissipated, but the array before him remained as one, showing no reaction whatsoever.
"Hmph! Frog in a well, Li Xiaotian, you are far too overconfident. Do you know this mountain-protecting grand array was personally set up by our Blissful Buddhist Sect's founding patriarch, Ji Le Buddha? You think you can break it with your modern weaponry and your nascent overlord strength? Pure wishful thinking!"
Agus sneered, a flicker of contempt in his eyes. It brought him a sliver of solace, as it was, in a way, restoring some dignity to the Blissful Buddhist Sect.
Li Xiaotian glanced at the other party and then spoke with a mocking tone.
"The Blissful Buddhist Sect, one of the four great sects of Buddha Province, is forced to hide behind its mountain-protecting grand array for survival by a person from this later era. And you feel proud of yourselves?"
Upon hearing this, Agus's face instantly darkened, his eyes filled with fury. He then retorted.
"Presumptuous!!! Li Xiaotian, stop your glib talk. If you hadn't been despicable and shameless, using modern weapons to ambush our sect, you would never have had the chance to attack us here!"
"Although you hold the upper hand now, you must understand that our sect's high-end combat power is still intact, and our Sect Master has not yet made a move! On what basis do you dare to be so arrogant in front of us?"
"Do you know that before long, you will be forcefully killed by our Sect Master!!!"
Li Xiaotian chuckled upon hearing this, shaking his head. He couldn't be bothered to respond. Although Ji Yu Bodhisattva was a top-tier overlord and he was no match for him, the thought of Ji Yu killing him was wishful thinking.
"What are you laughing at? Li Xiaotian, do you doubt what this humble monk is saying? Damn it! Do you know you are about to die? Your Dragon King Palace is about to be finished!!!"
Seeing Li Xiaotian's disdainful attitude, Agus's anger intensified. It was simply too much.
The other party knew they had contingency plans, so why did he still dare to be so arrogant?
"Shut up!!! You bunch of old bastards. If you have the guts, come out and continue fighting. If you don't, then just shut your foul mouths and don't disturb me!"
Li Xiaotian glared at them coldly. If not for the mountain-protecting grand array blocking the way, he would have already stormed into the Blissful Buddhist Sect.
"Scoundrel!!!"
"Presumptuous!!!"
"Li Xiaotian, you dare to be so arrogant even when death is upon you? Do you know our Sect Master is about to emerge? You are about to die!!! Soon, you will pay the price for the mistakes you have made today!!!"
Agus roared, and the other members of the Blissful Buddhist Sect also began to reprimand him. At this point, Li Xiaotian was still acting so arrogantly; they didn't know what confidence he had to still behave this way.
"Hmph! Asking us to leave the grand array? Li Xiaotian, do you think we would believe your clumsy provocation? If you have the ability, break the grand array!"
Someone snorted coldly, his tone filled with disdain.
"Indeed. I think some people know they have no chance, so they are puffing themselves up and repeatedly provoking us. Little do they know this is their last burst of glory!"
Hearing the members of the Blissful Buddhist Sect speak, Li Xiaotian looked at them, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
"Do you truly believe I have no way to break this damned array?"
