“You intend to stop me?”
Li Xiaotian asked Asan coldly, temporarily halting his preparations to attack. Asan had once helped Da Qin in a great war; otherwise, no one appearing today could have made him stop.
Facing the entire city as an enemy was not something he hadn't experienced before during his time in Da Qin.
“Benefactor Li, could you grant this humble monk some time?”
Asan spoke, his tone neither hurried nor slow.
Li Xiaotian did not respond, but he also did not advance further, implicitly consenting.
“Senior Brother Asan, you intend to protect this devil? He killed over a dozen powerful figures from my Jile Buddha Sect. If he doesn't die today, my hatred will never be resolved!”
The Jile Buddha Son shouted, his expression contorted. Now that his side had overwhelming numbers and countless experts, this was his chance to regain face.
“Amitabha, junior brother, you are blinded by obsession,”
Asan said unhurriedly, then looked at the other and continued.
“You were in the wrong from the start. You shouldn't have provoked Benefactor Li’s wife, nor should you have used your strength to bully his brothers.”
“Senior Brother!!!”
Upon hearing this, the Jile Buddha Son immediately interrupted Asan, gnashing his teeth and growling.
“What fault do I, this Buddha Son, have? Ignorance is not a crime. I didn’t know that woman was his wife! Moreover, I already explained to him, but he is relentless, bullying our Buddha State as if no one is here!”
As soon as the Jile Buddha Son finished speaking, a Buddhist expert from his side chimed in.
“Buddha Son Asan, you are a Buddha Son of our Buddha State. What is the meaning of protecting an outsider like this? He is killing innocent people on our Buddha State’s territory, showing no regard for anyone. If we do not suppress him today, won’t the Buddha State become a laughingstock to the world?”
“Precisely, Buddha Son Asan, you are confused. Regardless of who is right or wrong in this matter, Li Xiaotian killing our people from the Buddha State is wrong! He is guilty! He must accept our punishment!”
“He is merely a person from another state. To be so presumptuous in our Buddha State, if he doesn’t pay a price, what will become of the Buddha State’s dignity?”
“We cannot tolerate this. Li Xiaotian must pay the price!!!”
“Amitabha!”
Just as the powerful figures of the Buddha State were all speaking out to condemn Li Xiaotian, Asan suddenly let out a loud shout. His voice, accompanied by Buddhist light, echoed in everyone’s ears.
“Fellow Daoists, have you forgotten the precepts of Buddhist cultivation? The Buddha State lives in peace with the world, guiding oneself and others. When did we start needing to resort to violence to solve problems?”
His words left many speechless, unsure how to refute.
Asan was right. They were all human, and humans had emotions. Li Xiaotian’s rampage in their Buddha State today was something they found hard to swallow.
Not to mention the others, even the Jile Buddha Son could not let this go.
The Jile Buddha Son’s eyes flashed with anger as he looked at Asan and gritted his teeth, saying.
“Does Senior Brother mean we should tolerate this? Allow the Buddha State to bow down to Li Xiaotian? Let the world laugh at our Buddha State?!”
Asan shook his head, a hint of bitterness on his face. Li Xiaotian had killed over a dozen powerful figures from the Jile Buddha Sect. As a Buddha Son of Buddhism, he should naturally be on the side of the Buddha State.
However, he understood Li Xiaotian. If the Buddhist experts present wanted to subdue Li Xiaotian, at least half of them would die, even if the Glazed Bodhisattva intervened.
One must remember that every battle Li Xiaotian engaged in was a battle to the death. He would fully utilize everything at his disposal, never wasting an attack, and death was inevitable!
However, the Jile Buddha Son clearly had no patience to debate with Asan further. He spoke again.
“If Senior Brother wants us to stop fighting, it’s simple. The fault lies entirely with Li Xiaotian. He must kneel and confess his guilt to me, then bind himself and follow me back to the Jile Buddha Sect to be suppressed for a thousand years. Only then can all this be resolved!”
After saying this, the Jile Buddha Son glanced provocatively at Li Xiaotian, his eyes filled with smugness.
He knew Li Xiaotian would never accept his demands, but his goal was to provoke Li Xiaotian, forcing him to make a move.
In this way, even if Asan continued to intervene, it would be difficult to quell the anger of the many Buddha State experts behind him.
“Indeed, let Li Xiaotian do this. Let him kneel and confess his guilt to the Jile Buddha Son, and then accept our judgment!”
“Buddha Son Asan, this is our bottom line. If Li Xiaotian does not accept, then we can only eliminate the demon today! The Buddha will forgive us for breaking our precepts to eliminate a demon!”
The powerful figures present spoke out one after another, their tones firm. If Li Xiaotian did not accept, then he would die!
By this time, Asan’s face was already somewhat pale. He knew that something big was about to happen. Li Xiaotian would never accept such humiliation.
As expected, Li Xiaotian behind him erupted with astonishing ferocity. He became like a demon god, and a blood-red long saber appeared in his hand.
In his previous exchanges, Li Xiaotian had not used a weapon because he felt it was unnecessary, but now, it was different.
“Benefactor Li!”
Seeing this, Asan quickly called out, his expression pleading.
“Buddha Son Asan, if you continue to obstruct me, you will be an enemy!”
Li Xiaotian said coldly, emanating boundless killing intent. He then looked at the Jile Buddha Son and the others opposite him, pointed his long saber at them, and said in a chilling voice.
“If you seek death, I shall grant it!”
“Hmph! Li Xiaotian, you dare to be so arrogant? You are alone. Do you think you can be our match?”
The Jile Buddha Son sneered, his heart gradually filling with smugness. He swore that after Li Xiaotian was subdued, he would repay the humiliation he suffered today a thousandfold!
“I alone? Heh!”
Li Xiaotian smiled, his eyes filled with disdain. Then, he let out a mighty roar.
“Where is the Dragon King Hall?!!! Where is the Demon Soldier Legion?!!!”
Boom boom boom!!!
As Li Xiaotian’s words fell, everyone present heard sounds like mountains collapsing and the ground violently shaking.
“What’s happening??”
Someone in the city exclaimed in terror, a bad feeling inexplicably arising in their hearts.
“Quick, look outside the city!!! Hiss!!! Heavens! Where did these armies come from?”
Someone in the city shouted, and then countless minds rushed towards the outskirts of the city.
They saw that from all four directions of Glazed City, countless warriors in black armor were surging forward, encircling Glazed City.
They were all filled with killing intent, like an undead legion emerging from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, striking terror into people’s hearts.
They were precisely the warriors of the Dragon King Hall!
“King! King! King! We are here!!!”
“Those who insult the King! Kill, kill, kill!!!”
Following that, outside Glazed City, all the warriors of the Dragon King Hall roared, brimming with killing intent.
Then, over a dozen figures ascended from the legion, their fighting spirit soaring, floating in the four directions outside the city.
Although the strongest among them was only at the late-stage Emperor realm, their aura was comparable to peak Emperor realm experts.
When the King summons, the warriors will come!
Battle to the death!
“Damn it!!! Li Xiaotian, are you mad? Do you want to be an enemy of the entire Buddha State?”
The Jile Buddha Son’s face turned pale. Those armies outside the city, although individually not strong, were numerous and exuded such killing intent as if they were about to slaughter the city, making him unable to help but feel fear.
“Shut up!!!”
Li Xiaotian let out a great shout, then slowly ascended, speaking to the brothers of the Dragon King Hall outside the city.
“You don’t need to participate in the fight today. Surround this city. Anyone who tries to escape, kill without mercy!!!”
“Kill, kill, kill!!!”
Outside the city, countless people roared, their terrifying aura changing the expressions of everyone within the city, especially the common people, who were all so frightened they collapsed to the ground, their faces filled with despair.
“My people have arrived, but you don’t need to worry. They won’t join the battle. I will kill all of you one by one!”
Li Xiaotian looked at the Jile Buddha Son and the others, a grin spreading across his face. At this moment, he seemed more evil than demonic.
