Chapter 915: Chapter 916: Mr. Liu is Just Fighting Back

Li Xiaobai stepped out in one stride, directly emerging from the cocoon without being affected by the assimilating power of faith.
Clutching a cigarette in his mouth, he took a light puff and released a cloud of smoke, which wafted into the nostrils of numerous fanatical believers.
The believers involuntarily sniffed deeply, and suddenly their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably, spasming. After a moment, the fanaticism and devotion in their eyes vanished, replaced by a look of confusion.
“Where is this?”
“Why do I feel like I’ve had a very long dream?”
“Yes, I remember I came to Buddha Country a few days ago hoping to find an opportunity by chance, and then I was enlightened by Master Fadai into a disciple of Buddhism?”
“Damn it, that monk duped us. He converted us. We’ve been staying in the temple all these days!”
“A master has pulled us back from chaos!”
The bewildered look in everyone’s eyes vanished, their gazes gradually becoming clear. The memories of becoming Buddhist disciples during this period did not disappear; with a little reflection, they understood the true meaning—they had been duped by that monk.
That day, seeing the tomb was delayed in opening, they decided to visit the Pure Land of Buddha Country together, and just happened to meet Master Fadai, who invited them into the temple. They stayed for several days, feeling comfortable, progressing rapidly in their spiritual practices. However, listening to the Buddhist disciples chanting sutras and mantras daily gradually fostered a longing for Buddhism in their hearts, and ultimately, after hearing Master Fadai’s Six Syllable Mantra, they decided to stay permanently in the temple without any thoughts of leaving.
If not for encountering this young master who intervened today, their fate would not have been hard to imagine—likely they would have spent their lives alone in Buddhism.
“Old thief, you actually schemed against us in secret. I’ve always heard that the country of Buddhism is both a pitfall and a blessed land, but I never imagined the pitfall would be this dangerous. Is this how your Buddhist monks always recruit disciples and believers?”
A few of them glared at Monk Fadai with anger, wishing they could rush forward and fight him to the death, but they lacked the strength and courage to do so.
“What is that thing in your mouth that can resist the power of faith and even awaken people?”
“Who exactly are you, bringing such a thing into Buddha Country, and what is your purpose?”
Fear flashed in Monk Fadai’s eyes. His proudest power of faith had no effect on the other party, and that small burnable stick even had the effect of clearing the mind and eyes, and could even break the Six Syllable Mantra—this was unheard of!
“I am Liu Jinshui. I came here to listen to the teachings of Master Wuhu, but it seems Master, you have forgotten that it was you who had initially approached and invited me. Why then are you questioning me now?”
“I also want to ask Master Wuhu personally in the Great Thunderclap Temple if all the people in Buddhism act like you, Master Fadai!”
Li Xiaobai spoke indifferently, his voice cold.
“Benefactor, we monks do not lie. Right now, this place is desolate and deserted, and these people here are now with you. Who can be persuaded by what you say, and who can bear witness?”
“I must remind you, benefactor, that the waters of Buddha Country are not for you to wade through. Some things are better forgotten, lest they bring endless disasters!”
Monk Fadai also tore off his mask and spoke threateningly, appearing completely unflustered, because this was the territory of Buddha Country, where no one dared to attack another, especially not a Buddhist monk. No matter how powerful or renowned a visiting cultivator might be, they would have to restrain themselves here!
“We act as we please—why do we need the approval of others? Those who disapprove can simply be smashed to pieces!”
“Master, as you said, this place is desolate and deserted, and you are alone. Even if you die, no one would find out. Your life and death are in my hands—what can you possibly boast about?”
Li Xiaobai drew a longsword and spoke lightly.
“You scoundrel! Do you still intend to attack me?”
“Miscreant, you must understand the times and know where you stand. This is the Buddha Country, not a place for you to run wild!”
“Do you want to be taken away by the Arhat Hall and suppressed within the Buddhist Pagoda forever?”
“As for today’s incident, this monk could pretend it never happened, as long as you hand over the treasure you were holding in your mouth just now to this monk. How about that? From then on, this monk will never mention today’s incident.”
Monk Fadai’s eyebrows shot up, and he spoke in an icy tone, “Buddha Country is the home of all monks. To kill a monk within the bounds of Buddha Country is unthinkable for a mere junior cultivator. Even the Sect Master of a Super Sect from the Southern Continent would not dare to be so reckless.”
Hearing that centuries ago, the chief of the Demon Path, Blood Demon Sect, had set its sights on the Western Continent Buddhism, bringing dozens of high-level experts in an attack, all in the Half-Saint Realm or above, including several Saint Realm powerhouses, they still failed to breach the defenses of the Buddha Country. Instead, they even managed to convert one person, who stayed forever in the Great Thunderclap Temple to spread the Buddhist Law. Since then, no one has dared to disrespect Buddhism, nor target the Western Continent again.
“Noisy, if I say I’ll smash you, then you must be smashed. I always do as I say.”
“Old Bald Donkey, die!”
With his longsword in hand, Li Xiaobai swept across, a pitch-black Sword Intent tearing through the air, directly slashing towards Monk Fadai’s body.
“You dare to strike!”
“This is the Demon-Sealing Sword Evocation, bold of you! You are a Disciple of the Demon Sealing Sect!”
“I have taken note of today’s incident. In the future, the pinnacle of our Buddhist Sect will surely pay a visit to the Demon Sealing Sect!”
Monk Fadai was both shocked and enraged, his palms flickering to intercept the black Sword Intent.
Li Xiaobai slowly shook his head. It was clear this monk had never encountered the Demon-Sealing Sword Evocation. Considering his cultivation level that merely reached the Earth Immortal Realm, he was not capable of handling this Sword Intent.
“Master, you are out of chances.”
“Huh?”
Monk Fadai was stunned, wanting to say something more, but the black Sword Intent swept across his body. Then he saw a layer of black aura instantly cover his hands, the Power of Faith corroded completely into ash, followed by his body, and finally his head. Darkness enveloped him, his life force vanished, the entire person disintegrated into nothingness, leaving not even a corpse behind, truly evaporated from the human world.
“Dare to threaten me? Whether you are a monk of the Buddhist Sect or not, I will scatter your ashes!”
Li Xiaobai sheathed his sword, exhaling deeply, “Refreshing!”
In the void, a blood-red light flickered, and a string of numbers appeared above his head.
“Sin Value: One million two hundred thousand!”
The merit of Monk Fadai was only eight thousand, and after being killed, the sin increased by eighty thousand points with the tenfold conversion. This number was sufficient to label anyone a demon head anywhere.
Looking at the string of blood-red numbers in the void, the surrounding cultivators were all goosebumps, such a Sin Value belonged only to a major figure of the Demon Path. And they had encountered him so casually!
Hu Meizi was quite excited, “Holy shit, big shot, you killed him!”
“Aren’t you afraid of being hunted by Arhat Hall?”
Li Xiaobai proudly said, “A clean hand needs no washing!”
“I, Liu Jinshui, have done no wrong. Liu is merely fighting back!”
