Chapter 24: Immovable Wisdom King

Great fog covers the sky, mottled shadows.

In just a moment, the black mist had covered the entire village.

Inside the ancestral hall, the Town Demon Bell, which had been emitting divine light, slowly stopped, and a huge crack appeared on it.

The originally ancient and atmospheric bronze bell didn't know when it had been stained with black filth.

The spirit treasure was damaged and no longer had its previous power.

"Don't be afraid!"

"Everyone huddle together!"

"This is just a group of beasts, don't be afraid!"

The old village chief carried the long knife, standing in front of the ancestral hall like a crouching tiger, looking coldly at the surroundings.

The black mist was too thick, severely blocking his vision; he couldn't see what wild beasts or demons were in this black mist at all.

Clang!

In an instant, a crisp sound of metal colliding rang out.

A notch appeared on the old village chief's long knife.

At the same time, half a broken fang rolled down at his feet.

Just now, a fierce wild boar had bumped into him silently.

If he hadn't been a martial artist who had entered the ranks, he probably wouldn't have been able to react at all and would have died on the spot.

This wild boar was unusual; it was a master who dared to compete for survival space with tigers, leopards, jackals, and wolves on the mountain. It was extremely fierce.

A side bump was enough to break a tree as thick as a bowl.

Pfft!

The old village chief took several steps back, and a mouthful of blood spat on the ground.

He was old after all, and his blood and Qi were declining.

Just after one encounter, his body couldn't hold on.

Just the sneak attack of a wild boar almost took his old life.

Looking up into the mist, the martial artist's alertness told him that at least dozens of eyes were staring at him at this moment.

As long as he fell, the women and children behind him would have no place to be buried.

Especially in the depths of the darkness, he always felt a pair of cold eyes staring at him, full of resentment.

Looking at the situation, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold on until dark.

The people in the village were also afraid...

Awoo!!

Creak, thud!

Awooo! Awooo! Woo...

Just as he was pondering, a shrill howl of a wild beast rang out.

Following it was the sound of bones cracking and flesh being torn apart.

This is?!

What happened?!

In the mist.

A teenager about 1.6 meters tall, wearing a bright red kasaya, was stepping on the head of a wild boar with his feet.

Both hands were forcefully supporting the wild boar's upper jaw and chin, and he used force to pry them open.

Crack!

The crisp sound of bone cracking accompanied the wild boar's wail, echoing throughout the village.

Li Xiang looked at the bloody wild boar in front of him, shrugged, and looked into the depths of the mist as if he were still not satisfied.

At this moment, his state was unexpectedly good!

【Name: Li Xiang】

【Age: 3 years old】

【Comprehension: 99970+0 (???)】

【Root Bone: 30+45+45 (Strength to pull up mountains)】

【Family Background: 5 (Poor)】

【Luck: 50+100 (Very Auspicious)】

The bright red kasaya was draped over his body, revealing half of his bronze-colored arm.

A red dragon was constantly wandering on his body, emitting a terrifying aura.

Li Xiang hadn't expected that after equipping the Brocade Kasaya, there would be such a terrifying bonus effect.

The 【Protection】 attribute that came with the kasaya itself could increase the wearer's Root Bone by 45 points, and if cultivating Buddhist Dharma, it could be directly doubled, adding another 45 points!

A full 90 points of Root Bone!

What kind of concept was this?!

He had eaten grass until he was numb, and he had entered the Ninth-Rank of Martial Dao, and his Root Bone was only 15!

But now he could directly stack 90 points on it.

This!!!

Not to mention that Li Xiang was now cultivating Buddhist body-refining kung fu, and his basic attributes had increased to 30!

Now he had a full 120 points of attribute value.

Under the blessing of high attributes, his height had been forcibly increased by a lot.

He looked almost the same as a teenager of more than ten years old, his muscles were full, as if carved by a knife and axe.

His brows revealed a sharp edge.

Standing in the black mist, Li Xiang twisted his neck lightly.

He felt as if there was endless power in his body at this moment, making him want to let out a soft shout!

120 points, let alone the beast group in front of him, even an Eighth-Rank demon, Li Xiang dared to tear it apart.

"The Buddha has a compassionate face, but also the angry appearance of a Wisdom King!"

"I don't care what kind of trap you set, but since you kidnapped my father and dared to attack the village,"

"Then today, you all have to die here!"

In the mist, pale golden brilliance flickered in Li Xiang's eyes; that was Haoran Righteous Qi.

Haoran Righteous Qi condensed into divine abilities, piercing through the mist and seeing through all the enemies in the darkness.

In an instant, the darkness in front of him dissipated, and all the evil beasts and demons hidden were invisible.

Thirty-seven wild boars, sixteen jackals, and a tiger, a leopard.

The beast group stared at Li Xiang in the darkness, as if they were ready to pounce and tear him to pieces if there was any movement.

"Kill him!"

"Together!"

Suddenly, a human voice came, and the eyes of the beast group quickly turned crimson.

As if they had fallen into a frenzy, their muscles surged, and they rushed toward Li Xiang.

Looking in the direction of the sound.

In the center of the beast group, the black leopard that had opened its wisdom was standing like a human at this moment, staring coldly at Li Xiang.

Baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, it scolded the beast group, wanting the beast group to submerge Li Xiang.

Li Xiang saw that there was an ink-jade ring on the leopard's tail, which was constantly condensing black mist at this moment, polluting the entire Shihe Village.

That seemed to be a magic weapon.

The one that confronted the Town Demon Bell just now was this thing.

Sure enough!

This black leopard and the beast group were all instructed by demons.

They came here to attack the village, wanting to sacrifice the women and children in the village to restore the demon cultivator's cultivation.

But...

How did they manage to transfer all the men in the village away?

Li Xiang was a bit puzzled.

Just as he was pondering, a roar that shook the heavens and the earth suddenly rang in his ears.

In the beast group, a tiger with a white forehead jumped out from somewhere.

Leading more than a dozen wild beasts, it looked at Li Xiang with fierce power.

This big worm was fierce, and as soon as it landed, the ground shook.

With eyes like torches, Li Xiang stared at the big worm.

The big worm lay on the ground, its hair standing up, its muscles all over its body were distinct, giving people a very terrifying sense of oppression.

Only when really facing it could one feel this sense of oppression, this suppression of power from the king of the forest.

Compared to this kind of demon that roars in the mountains and forests, the human body was still too weak.

Awooo!

The big worm roared at the sky.

The black mist around it began to change, slowly merging into its body.

Not long after, the muscles on the big worm's body swelled rapidly, and it began to become more robust.

Strands of crisscrossing black Qi were frantically wriggling under its skin like insects.

Its eyes were crimson, and demonic Qi was overflowing.

The black mist seemed to greatly strengthen its power!

"What a fierce beast, its power is not weaker than the black bear in the monastery!"

Eighth-Rank demon, the demon's body is strong, and the Eighth-Rank martial artist of the human race of the same rank is no match at all.

This tiger demon is very strong!

Li Xiang didn't underestimate the enemy either, moving his blood and Qi, a red dragon circled his body, and strange imprints began to appear on his skin. Looking closely, they were actually like Buddhist scriptures.

This was a martial arts divine ability of Buddhism!

Buddhism values martial arts, entering Zen through martial arts, seeking both body and mind cultivation, cultivating one of the sects called the Zen Sect, entering the Dao through martial arts, attaining the heart of immovability, and then seeing the other shore.

Some people also say that this is using the physical body as a boat to cross the world, using the physical body to cross time, and seeking a concept of "truth" in the long years.

Some people also know its truth, and then seek its illusion, so they understand the nine consciousnesses and attain supreme enlightenment.

Now Li Xiang was just focusing on the body-refining method among them, with a copper skin and iron bones, capable of shattering mountains and rocks.

His body was even manifesting Buddhist scriptures with blood and Qi, and there was the power to suppress demons between his fists and feet.
