A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 911 - 897: 1,000 Hearts
This scene unfolded before everyone's eyes.
The Warrior's expression immediately changed: "Everyone, stay away from that Guanyin statue, there's something strange about it, this damn thing, it confuses people."
No need for his reminder.
Everyone was already so frightened by the scene that they instinctively retreated and distanced themselves from the meditation mat area.
However.
No one knew what trap or restriction had been triggered.
The hall doors suddenly shut with a bang, seamlessly, and even those at the entrance who wanted to escape couldn't break the door down.
In that instant.
The entire hall suddenly echoed with a bizarre and eerie Buddhist chant, one after another black Sanskrit character rose from the floor and floated in the air, forming a wall of light that enveloped everyone inside.
Then.
The chanting of those sitting on the mats suddenly grew louder, as if it was being recited right in front of everyone's ears.
In a flash.
A few individuals in the hall abruptly cracked open, splitting from a physical standpoint. Their mouths curled upward, forming a crooked arc, which then rapidly expanded, splitting their entire heads in two.
From a distance.
It looked like their mouths were twisted in an upward curve, revealing a strange and horrific smile.
Sinister smiles!
Baiyu suddenly realized that the expressions of these people in death were much like the Jade Glaze Guanyin.
At this point.
Half of the people in the hall had already been affected, some with their heads split open, lying on the ground in a pool of blood. Others sat motionless on the mats, becoming a new wave of "followers."
As for the remaining half.
They were the skilled individuals in the group, with firm willpower, and hadn't yet been too affected. They were still striving to find a way to escape from this hall. Everyone had realized that this entity was beyond their ability to handle.
But even though the Jade Glaze Guanyin did not move, its faint sinister smile seemed to mock everyone's overconfidence.
Soon.
The third wave of attacks from the Evil Laughing Guanyin began.
Baiyu felt a dizzy spell, and he found himself standing on a circular stone platform, surrounded by clouds and mist, with a floor carved with colorful murals, depicting presumably Buddhist-related imagery.
Not knowing what this was about, he decided to stand in the middle of the platform, unmoving.
A few seconds later.
A rumbling sound roared in his ears, and a giant Jade Glaze Guanyin statue emerged from the mist. The statue wore an undisguised sinister smile.
Immediately.
The Jade Guanyin suddenly raised her large palm and pressed down toward Baiyu, emanating a terrifying oppressive force, a spiritual pressure.
This was the Illusion Realm.
Baiyu clearly understood that this large palm likely wouldn't harm his body, but if it struck, his spirit might be shattered instantly, essentially leaving him a vegetable.
In such a scenario.
It's essentially no different from being dead.
This Evil Laughing Guanyin wanted to eliminate all the people she could neither control nor seduce at once. Attacking so many people in the Spiritual Illusion Realm demonstrated that her power far exceeded Baiyu's expectations.
At this point, Baiyu no longer hesitated and instantly activated the Black Moon Power within him.
A swirling black mist enveloped him.
Black Moon Power.
It could be used either in reality or in the Spiritual World. Then, Baiyu's entire being burst into golden light, transforming directly into a Golden Armor Warrior.
The power of Golden Blood!
At this juncture, Baiyu took no more pauses and exploded all his internal power, striking at the giant palm of the Guanyin.
Golden Blood boiled throughout his body.
Although this was the Spiritual World, both Golden Blood and Black Moon Power could be utilized. His golden fists surged out, creating a shockwave in the air, hitting the jade Guanyin's palm with a crack.
An intense golden light erupted.
The jade palm shattered inch by inch, covered in countless cracks, then the gigantic Guanyin statue exploded with a thunderous noise, dispersing into a myriad of dust particles.
With that.
The sky returned to tranquility, but Baiyu remained on the stone platform, his whole body glimmering like a golden figure.
Black and golden auras swirled around him.
Baiyu's eyes scanned the area, filled with murderous intent as he searched for a way out. Although the Jade Guanyin was shattered, it seemed that the Illusion Realm should disappear. Yet it did not.
In other words.
The Jade Guanyin was still there.
As if to confirm Baiyu's suspicions, moments later, another Jade Guanyin statue emerged from the mist.
The sinister smile on the Guanyin's face was even more flagrant.
"Darn, endless troubles, there should be a way out..." Baiyu mumbled as he observed the Jade Guanyin.
The Jade Guanyin's strength was undeniable.
But its endless revival was exceptionally annoying, and this time, it seemed stronger than before.
Baiyu contemplated as the Jade Guanyin extended its palm once more.
Left with no choice.
Baiyu shattered it again.
After several repeated times, Baiyu started feeling rather exhausted. The Jade Guanyin was like an indestructible cockroach, endlessly reemerging from the mist whenever he smashed it.
On his seventh time shattering the Jade Guanyin, frustrated beyond words.
The newly emerged Jade Guanyin statue suddenly split on its own, exploding into fine dust, and with it, the strange Illusion Realm, too, disintegrated.
Baiyu inexplicably exited the illusion, turning around to find himself back within the main hall.
His Black Moon Power and Golden Blood alternated, creating a gold-and-black interplay, resisting the eerie force inside the hall.
Everyone around him was unconscious.
Even those who weren't dead lay on the ground, eyes closed, clearly trapped in that bizarre illusion.
"Eh? Someone managed to break free on their own? Is it because I suppressed the Evil Laughing Guanyin's power, causing it to retract the illusion?"
Behind Baiyu.
A surprised voice rang out.
He turned to see the little girl from just before. Although Baiyu didn't find it odd for a little girl to lead a group of Martial Artists, the fact that she was the only other person standing in the hall now was indeed problematic.
"Golden Blood... and Black Moon, you're quite the mix," the little girl said, her tone reminiscent of a seasoned expert. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Baiyu felt an urge to ask who the hell she was, but held his tongue.
"Who are you?"
Baiyu asked cautiously.
She could very well be in cahoots with the Evil Laughing Guanyin.
"I'm Qian Xin, one of the City Lord's Attendants." The little girl kept a stern expression: "The Evil Laughing Guanyin has grown formidable, it must be dealt with, which is why I've abandoned this disguise."
