Chapter 78 I *you* !

hind him was still smiling and massaging his shoulders."But it's quite a curious thing, isn't it" continued the Great Emperor Daqian. "In the end, all the officials and scholars couldn't compare to on...Buddhism has always been about compassion and saving people, and its external image is also one of compassion.

But when it comes to issues of life and death, even the compassionate can become a demon in their own hearts, ferocious and terrifying!

It was like a battle on the wasteland. The killing intent of those monks was no less than that of soldiers fighting on a battlefield.

These monks just lack experience in combat compared to these soldiers who have been fighting in the trenches. They are getting beaten back step by step.

Boom, boom, boom!

On the other side, the booming sounds echoed incessantly, and only hazy figures could be glimpsed through the billowing dust as they clashed fiercely.

Only the two people involved truly know the specific details beneath the seemingly even match.

Bang!

They exchanged another palm strike, and the entangled duo simultaneously retreated after the impact. A distance of five zhang now separated them.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

Inside the wide sleeves, Zhang Liyang's arms were trembling slightly, his entire arm a fiery red - the result of Hui'an's Demonic Subduing Palm attack.

The palm force imbued with the power of heaven and earth is not so easy to receive, especially since Zhang Liyang is still in the realm of cultivation. Being able to receive so many palms from Hui'an without dying is already astonishing.

Qi and blood were swirling rapidly within the body. Zhang Liyang took advantage of this time to quickly recover the meridians in his body that had been damaged by the intrusion of celestial energy.

This was Zhang Liyang's first time experiencing the feeling of heaven and earth qi entering his body. Unlike the passive nourishment he felt from the exquisite jade, the heaven and earth qi that Hui'an produced was like someone taking a small knife and stabbing into his meridians, then cutting through his flesh and blood along his meridian pathways.

"As expected of a cultivator from the Second Ring, truly extraordinary!"

Zhang Liyang sighed inwardly, while Huian was filled with astonishment!

"Amitabha, what kind of monster is this!"

Hui'an kept a calm facade, but inside she was in turmoil, utterly shocked.

At the same time, under Hui'an's robe, Hui'an's whole body was flushed red. If you approached Hui'an, you could still feel the high temperature emanating from Hui'an's body.

This is red hot!

Zhang Liyang's divine ability of burning fire and smelting gold, even though Hui'an had isolated most of it, still made Hui'an feel like she was in a furnace, her whole body being licked by flames under the accumulation.

If Zhang Liyang felt Huian's celestial energy like a sharp blade cutting through flesh, Huian felt Zhang Liyang's divine fire force like a burning iron rod thrust fiercely into her body.

"Master Uncle, please beg me, ah!"

A cry for help rang out, a monk screamed as he was pierced through the chest by a soldier.

Huì'ān's eyes bulged, veins throbbing at the corners. As soon as his body twitched towards that direction, Zhāng Lǐyáng's aura pressed down on him!

Looking at the blood all over the ground and the motionless monk, Huian's face was ashen and grim. "Must you kill them all"

"Master, where did you get such an idea" Zhang Liyang also had a sneer on his face. "We are pursuing criminals, but Disamkong Temple is desperately obstructing us. I want to ask Master, who are these criminals What do they have to do with your Disamkong Temple!"

"Spitting blood!"

"Are you accusing me of slander Why don't you ask them first before you say anything"

Looking at Zhang Liyang pointing at Bai Fuhuan, Huian's face twitched slightly, unsure of how to speak for a moment.

When Bai Fuhuan first arrived with the Fire Heaven Order, he was the one who received him. Even the subsequent actions were led by his Huian. There's no way he wouldn't know about it.

To assassinate an official of the imperial court is to be considered treason!

"Must you take them away"

"Master, is that what you're asking" Zhang Liyang sneered and slowly walked towards Huian. "Do you think I'm playing house"

As Zhang Liyang moved, the other soldiers rearranged their formations, and a killing aura surged towards Hui'an, Bai Fuhuan, and the others.

Why waste words with them, just kill them!

At this time, Bai Fuhuan also walked over, looking at Yuan Li behind Zhang Liyang with a sinister gaze.

Even though he was already at the tenth realm, he couldn't immediately overpower those like Yuan Li who were only at the seventh or eighth realm. This greatly angered Bai Fuhuan, even though Yuan Li was already injured.

Feeling Bai Fuhua's gaze, Yuan Li showed no fear whatsoever, instead returning a defiant look.

"Messenger, we are few here..."

"As a cultivator at the second stage of the Inner Circle, are you afraid of there being too many people on the other side"

"Cut the crap, you take down their leader and I'll hold off the rest with Fang Qi!"

Bai Fuhuan's words made Huian's face even worse. It was impossible to get Zhang Liyang in a short time, and what Bai Fuhuan said about resisting others, Huian felt even more ridiculous.

Just now you didn't stop them, letting all those monks be wiped out. Now with just the two of you, how will you possibly hold them back

"Messenger, should we retreat back to the mountain gate first..."

"Are you scared"

“I…”

"Is a second-rank cultivator afraid of a first-rank cultivator" Bai Fuhuan didn't know Zhang Liyang's terrifying power at all. He now only thought that Huian hadn't gone all out, "Do you think yourself a waste or me blind"

At this moment, Fang Qi walked over and glared angrily at Huian, "Senior Brother, we should directly tell Master about this. Let's see how they, the DiKong Temple, explain themselves!"

Li Hua's repeated injuries made Bai Fuhuan and Fang Qi very irritable. Even though Li Hua wasn't the master's most beloved and cherished disciple, as the eldest senior brother, Li Hua returning with serious injuries outside would make the person who injured him suffer. Bai Fuhuan and Fang Qi wouldn't have a good time either.

Especially Fang Qi, having not received any favor, would likely end up bearing the brunt of all the blame in case of further punishment.

So Fang Qi wanted to find a sharer, either the group in front of him or the Dāokong Temple!

Upon hearing Fang Qi's words, Hui An's eyes grew even more melancholy.

On my side, I'm here to help them. How come helping them in the end turned into their problem

Hui'an didn't understand, but she was even more angry, "Daoism says that if a fellow Daoist dies, the poor Dao doesn't die. Since this is the case, you shouldn't blame me!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Hui'an nodded, glanced at Bai Fuhuan and Fang Qi again, then suddenly rushed towards Zhang Liyang.

Bai Fuhuan, seeing Huian take action, charged towards Yuanli and his companions with Fang Qi!

But then something unexpected happened. At the halfway point, Hui'an suddenly stopped and changed direction, running in a different way!

He actually ran away!

Not to mention Bai Fuhuan, Zhang Liyang didn't expect it either.

Looking at the disappearing figure in an instant, everyone stood dumbfounded!

"Huì'ān, I curse you ***"

Fang Qi roared angrily, while Bai Fuhuan's face instantly turned pale.

Seeing the soldiers surrounding him and Zhang Liyang walking towards him, Bai Fuhuan hurriedly took something out of his bosom, "You can't kill me!"ys."A group of people echoed in succession, their eyes filled with confusion as well."So, our top priority now is to find He Fei!" Qing Shi Daochang spoke again. "But before we find He Fei, there's on...
