On the battlefield, Li Xiaotian moved as if through an empty realm, unstoppable wherever he went!
One by one, the strong cultivators of the Blissful Buddha Sect fell. At this moment, Emperor-level cultivators seemed no different from ordinary people, cut down by Li Xiaotian’s casual blade as if they were livestock.
From afar, Agus, who was about to enter the sect’s grand formation, saw this scene, and his eyes immediately turned red.
He had originally thought this battle would be a display of their Blissful Buddha Sect’s might, a battle that wouldn’t require much effort to annihilate Li Xiaotian and his Dragon King Hall army.
But who would have thought that this battle would turn into their Blissful Buddha Sect’s Waterloo?
Too many had died!
“Ahhh! Retreat! All of you, retreat! Don’t resist, all of you, retreat back into the formation!”
Agus roared. This couldn’t continue, or the losses for the Blissful Buddha Sect would be too great.
Even if the Blissful Bodhisattva were to ultimately appear and kill Li Xiaotian, the price the Blissful Buddha Sect would have to pay would be immense.
He had also wanted to lead his men to engage and entangle Li Xiaotian, to destroy the Dragon King Hall’s modern weaponry, and to buy time for the sect disciples to enter the formation.
But upon seeing Zhuoer, who was slightly weaker than himself, killed by Li Xiaotian in a single move, he became afraid. Now, staying within the formation, he didn’t dare to step out even an inch.
“Right! Sect Master! Hurry and invite the Sect Master!”
Agus suddenly realized, his Sect Master was still here. As long as the Sect Master took action, the tide of the battle could be reversed.
On the battlefield, the people of the Blissful Buddha Sect were retreating madly. Those Emperor-level cultivators were now fleeing for their lives.
They were terrified. Li Xiaotian was too formidable; any strong cultivator in front of him was just a single blade away from death.
Within a few breaths, the Emperor-level cultivators of the Blissful Buddha Sect had all entered the formation. They looked back with lingering fear, and then their expressions turned to grief and indignation.
Thirty-two people! In just this short while, thirty-two Emperor-level cultivators of the Blissful Buddha Sect had perished.
Five were annihilated by the Dragon King Hall’s modern weaponry, blown to pieces. The rest were killed by Li Xiaotian.
They could never have imagined that a war they thought was a sure victory would turn out this way.
Outside the formation, intense artillery fire covered all areas, and countless screams erupted.
Those were the ordinary disciples of the Blissful Buddha Sect who had not yet fled into the formation. They could not fly, nor were they fast. At this moment, they could only be passively slaughtered by the Dragon King Hall’s artillery.
Seeing this, the Emperor-level cultivators of the Blissful Buddha Sect roared in unison, filled with both shock and fear. They were angry, yet they were also terrified.
The disciples of their own sect were being massacred before their eyes, but they were helpless.
Even if some disciples were only a short distance away, and they could save a dozen or so by taking a slight risk, they dared not!
They were afraid of being targeted by Li Xiaotian and receiving a blade.
“Li Xiaotian, stop! Such slaughter of my sect’s disciples, are you not afraid that the Blissful Buddha Sect will deal with you in the same manner in the future?”
Agus roared, his tone filled with anger.
“We are already enemies, and you expect me to spare them? Did a donkey kick you in the head?”
Li Xiaotian’s voice was mocking, showing no intention of stopping.
“Damn it! They are innocent! They are still weak. You, a Hegemon-level expert, using such despicable means against them, do you not feel ashamed?”
Agus gritted his teeth and roared, his body trembling slightly. Too many had died.
“Li Xiaotian, bullying the weak and indiscriminately killing the innocent, where is your Hegemon’s dignity? Doing this will incite public anger! Stop quickly!”
“Despicable and shameless scoundrel, using modern weaponry against us! If you have the guts, throw away your modern weapons and fight us head-on!”
“Li Xiaotian, you are playing with fire! You are forcing my Blissful Buddha Sect to be your eternal enemy! You are heading towards a path of eternal damnation!”
The experts of the Blissful Buddha Sect also roared in unison, their eyes bloodshot. However, no matter how angry they were at this moment, none dared to step out of the formation.
Li Xiaotian sneered, a mocking expression on his face, too lazy to bother with the people opposite him.
He had given the Blissful Buddha Sect a chance, but they did not cherish it. Who could they blame for that?
It could only be said that the Blissful Buddha Sect was too useless. If those Emperor-level cultivators had dared to take risks, those ordinary disciples would not have died in such numbers.
Might makes right, but as a strong individual, one must also know how to protect the weak!
At the same time, the cultivators of Buddha State who had been watching this place in secret all fell silent, their eyes filled with shock.
Especially those who had previously mocked Li Xiaotian and looked down on the Dragon King Hall. Their expressions were now complex, their faces flushed, as if they had been slapped.
No one had expected the Dragon King Hall’s army to deliver such a huge surprise.
Li Xiaotian had also exceeded everyone’s imagination, sweeping across the battlefield, invincible!
“Are the armies of later generations so terrifying? How powerful is that modern weaponry! Why didn’t we discover such a situation when we unified Buddha State?”
A strong cultivator muttered, his face filled with disbelief. They had seen modern weapons before when they suppressed the four directions, but never as terrifying as today.
To put it bluntly, it was their own arrogance, the ancient cultivators, who looked down on later generations.
It should be known that before the world’s revival, the land of Buddha State was ruled by the Brahma Empire.
That was a nation with a cheat code; their national armaments were merely for show and could not be used in actual combat. Therefore, the ancient powers of Buddha State unified it without much effort.
But if they had been in Yan State, or the Americas, they would likely still be in chaotic battles now.
“No wonder Li Xiaotian has the confidence to provoke the Blissful Buddha Sect. Although he has only recently entered the Hegemon level, his combat power can probably rival that of a top-tier Hegemon expert. And his Dragon King Hall army is simply immeasurable by normal standards.”
“The Blissful Buddha Sect has suffered a great setback. They underestimated Li Xiaotian, and as a result, they have suffered heavy losses before even engaging in combat.”
“However, fortunately, the Blissful Buddha Sect has a mountain-protecting grand formation, and the Blissful Bodhisattva, a top-tier Hegemon, is seated here. It is expected that they will turn the tide of the battle later.”
Someone consoled themselves, finding it difficult to accept that their top-tier Hegemon-level Buddhist sect in Buddha State was being suppressed and beaten by Li Xiaotian.
“It’s not ‘expected,’ it’s ‘certain’! The Blissful Buddha Sect has not yet exerted its full strength. The current defeat is merely due to carelessness. Once the experts of the Blissful Buddha Sect regain their senses, and the Blissful Bodhisattva personally intervenes, Li Xiaotian is sure to die!”
Someone snorted coldly, feeling displeased. It was important to remember that this was Buddha State, and Li Xiaotian, an outsider, was suppressing their forces, which was simply too much of an insult.
At this moment, among those secretly observing the battle, there was a familiar face, none other than Almon.
He wore a look of almost crying, his heart already filled with fear. When he was questioned by Li Xiaotian in Liuli City before, he had known that Li Xiaotian was bound to cause some significant trouble in Buddha State.
But who would have thought that he had still overestimated his imagination and underestimated Li Xiaotian’s capacity for causing trouble.
It had only been a few days, and the man had already led his army into conflict with the Blissful Buddha Sect, and the opening of this battle could be said to have shocked the entire Buddha State.
He patted his chest, his face full of lingering fear. Fortunately, he had been sensible back then, not to take Li Xiaotian seriously, and more importantly, not to rely on Li Xiaotian as his backing.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t even know how he had died by now.
