As the Dragon King Hall's army let out shouts of war, the powerful figures of the Blissful Buddha Sect unleashed their auras, their might soaring to the heavens. But just as they prepared to attack, everyone froze.
The Dragon King Hall's army had not advanced an inch. Instead, a firearm appeared in each soldier's hand. Following this, rows of artillery vehicles materialized in front of the formations, with hundreds of rocket launchers appearing in the rear.
"This!!! This!!!"
The people of the Blissful Buddha Sect were stunned into silence, their mouths agape, struggling to find words.
They had assumed that warfare would remain as it was in ancient times, with cultivators unleashing world-destroying spells.
But who would have imagined that the Dragon King Hall would play such an unconventional card?
Moreover, after the ancient powers of Buddha State had revived, they had controlled the various countries of Buddha State in mere days. Consequently, they had never participated in modern warfare.
If they had been ancient powers from Yan State, they would have surely guarded against such a scene and would not have foolishly positioned themselves so close to the enemy.
Alas, they had no experience and no knowledge!
"Not good!!! Retreat quickly!!!"
Agus, jolted back to his senses, immediately shouted, his expression filled with terror. He might not have experienced it, but he had seen it!
At this moment, the Blissful Buddha Sect was completely exposed to the muzzles of the Dragon King Hall's firearms. This was akin to offering themselves up for slaughter!
"Open fire!!!"
Yet, even though Agus reacted swiftly, it was still too late. A sky full of fire rained down.
Boom, boom, boom!!!
Countless streaks of light surged from the sky and the ground towards the people of the Blissful Buddha Sect. In an instant, dismembered limbs flew everywhere.
Flashes of fire erupted, and explosions echoed incessantly. Many of the Blissful Buddha Sect members were left dazed.
Some watched, with their own eyes, as a shell flew towards them before exploding. By the time their bodies were torn apart, they finally realized they should have fled.
"Damn it!!! Damn it!!! All listen to my orders, retreat into the formation immediately!"
The powerful figures of the Blissful Buddha Sect roared in anger, their eyes red. Due to their carelessness, many monks had died in an instant, and even several Imperial-level powerhouses had perished.
Rumble!
But the Dragon King Hall's firepower was even more ferocious than they had imagined. As far as the eye could see, the sky was filled with fire and mushroom clouds of explosions.
"Ahhh!!! Li Xiaotian, stop! Stop quickly!!! You're seeking your own doom!!!"
Agus screamed, shouting at Li Xiaotian. At this moment, he was filled with frustration and hatred.
He had intended to gain fame and assert his authority in this battle, but the outcome was this. All his plans were in disarray.
"Li Xiaotian, massacring innocents, do you know the consequences of your actions?!"
"Stop quickly! Otherwise, my Blissful Buddha Sect will not rest until you are dead!!!"
The powerful figures of the Blissful Buddha Sect roared in anger, their expressions contorted into hideous masks of fury, resembling demonic Buddhas.
"Continue the attack! Let's exhaust half of our pill reserves first!"
Li Xiaotian commanded calmly, completely ignoring the furious shouts of the Blissful Buddha Sect powerhouses. It was too late to stop now!
"Mad! Mad! Li Xiaotian, you're mad! You'll die a horrible death doing this!!!"
Garidon's eyes were filled with dread. At this moment, he was being crushed under Li Xiaotian's foot. Earlier, amidst the chaos of the Blissful Buddha Sect's ranks, Li Xiaotian had captured him.
Li Xiaotian looked down at Garidon, his eyes icy as he spoke.
"What? Scared? Don't be. You'll be the last to die. You're not qualified to die yet!"
"Li Xiaotian, I was wrong! I was wrong!!! Please, don't kill me. I know where the Blissful Buddha Sect's treasury is. I know all of the Blissful Buddha Sect's cultivation methods, and I know some secret realms. You can't kill me, I'm still useful!!!"
Garidon begged, truly terrified and weeping. If he had known Li Xiaotian was this terrifying, he would have never dared to provoke him in the first place!
Li Xiaotian was more frightening than a demon!!!
Unfortunately, Li Xiaotian paid no attention to his pleas.
At this moment, Li Xiaotian's face was incredibly cold. He had already learned from Garidon that his wife and daughters, along with Long Shiwu, had disappeared.
However, fortunately, he had a way to know they were safe. Otherwise, he would have truly gone mad by now.
On the battlefield, Agus watched as his people fell in droves. No matter how little he cared about the lives of the weak, he was anxious now.
He had never seen killing done in such a manner!
"Damn it!!! Zhuoer, lead the men to destroy their weapons!"
Agus roared. They had to destroy the Dragon King Hall's weapons. Otherwise, once his men retreated into the formation, all those below the Imperial level would surely be annihilated, except for the Imperial-level powerhouses.
"Abominations!!! All Imperial Martial Monks, follow me! We shall transform into Demonic Buddhas and wreak havoc today!!!"
Zhuoer's body shimmered with golden light. He instantly grew dozens of feet tall and crossed half the battlefield in a single step, charging towards the Dragon King Hall's army.
At the same time, behind him, numerous powerful figures of the Blissful Buddha Sect used their respective techniques to advance through the cannon fire.
"Don't pay them any mind. Continue firing. Today, I will turn this Great Snow Mountain into a sea of blood!"
Li Xiaotian instructed his subordinates before shattering Garidon's limbs with a kick and drawing his saber to face the powerful figures of the Blissful Buddha Sect.
"Li Xiaotian, die!!!"
Zhuoer roared upon seeing this, his muscles crackling. He swung his fist towards Li Xiaotian.
"Hmph! A mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
Li Xiaotian snorted coldly. His eyes instantly turned black. His demonic cultivation was reversing!
"Buzz!"
A flash of saber light cut through the air, and Zhuoer's thrown fist exploded!
"This is impossible!!!"
Zhuoer was shocked. His dozens of feet tall body continued to charge forward with inertia, his mind completely stunned.
His Diamond Body had been cultivated for tens of thousands of years, making it incredibly powerful, comparable to a Heaven-tier weapon.
Yet, Li Xiaotian had shattered his Diamond Body with a single saber strike!
How was this possible? Although the opponent was a Hegemon-level powerhouse, he himself was not weak!
"Buzz!"
The saber light flashed again, and Zhuoer had no chance to understand the reason, as his head had already left his body.
While Zhuoer's strength was not weak, Li Xiaotian was simply too powerful, not to mention his current reversal of demonic cultivation, which doubled his combat power!
At this moment, the other powerhouses of the Blissful Buddha Sect continued their forward charge. However, none of them had expected that Zhuoer, a top-tier powerhouse of their sect, would be killed so easily by Li Xiaotian, leaving them no chance to rescue him.
In an instant, everyone was stunned. Even the powerful figures of Buddha State who were secretly observing the battlefield could not help but exclaim in shock.
A peak Imperial-level powerhouse with a formidable physique had died just like that, unable to withstand even a single strike from Li Xiaotian!
But this was just the beginning. Li Xiaotian, wielding his long saber, moved across the battlefield like a ferocious demon from ancient times.
With a single saber strike, another Imperial-level powerhouse of the Blissful Buddha Sect fell!
