Chapter 600: All Covered in Pink

The black-purple bowl in the sky pressed down, the back of the pitch-black hole shining with colorful light like branches and leaves, covering the entire sky. Pale golden curled clouds permeated, stopping in the air. The main body of the Kongxi Demon-Subduing Bowl manifested, and no one north or south of the great river could drive the wind to rise, all landing on the shore. Even Li Qinghong, who drove the Xiao Thunder and had the blessing of the feather garment, was only twelve feet off the ground.

She raised her brows and watched, the thunderous sound in the air descending bit by bit. She gripped her spear tightly, and everyone beside her was injured. Li Qinghong turned to look at Si Yuanli and whispered, "Senior, do you have any treasures to ascend?"

Si Yuanli was staring at the Kongxi Demon-Subduing Bowl, his heart bitter. Just as Si Boxiu had bestowed the Huai River Map, the Kongxi Demon-Subduing Bowl summoned by the Mages above naturally didn't count as a direct move... But the Jinlian Mohe's control over the Mages was not on the same level as the Early Zifu. The Mages who resisted to the end said they were eliminating demons; who could say anything? "The Kongxi Demon-Subduing Bowl is nurtured by Jinlian Mohe... taking it out at this moment... who can ascend..."

Si Yuanli muttered to himself:

"He is determined to exchange the Mages for a capable person of compassion... coming late and not being able to share the treasures in the Anhuai Heaven is also a good benefit..."

Although Li Qinghong didn't understand the specific details of Buddhist cultivation, she had heard that when Tang Shedu rebelled, all the Jinlian Mohe were moved and came to receive them personally. Li Xuanfeng's temptation at this moment was likely a cut above...

As soon as Si Yuanli's voice fell, the Kongxi Demon-Subduing Bowl that covered the sky and sun changed again. The two black bands on the bowl slowly lit up with golden light, and then an ethereal decree sounded.

"Compassionate Karma Fire, burn the evil and punish the wicked!"

This voice drifted down. It only rang for a moment, and everyone covered their ears one after another. The black-purple in the sky transformed into deep red, and the colorful clouds turned into clouds like fire.

The entire sky was like fire burning, flickering uncertainly. A loud noise appeared: "The Karma Fire has arrived, the evildoer is dead!"

This voice came, and Si Yuanli's heart skipped a beat. He prayed silently:

"Must not have an accident..."

Inside the Demon-Subduing Bowl.

"Boom!"

Li Xuanfeng was inside, and deep red flames ignited in the Kongxi Demon-Subduing Bowl. These flames followed like a shadow, rushing up along the armor on his body. The tongues of fire licked, actually making bursts of clanging sounds.

The eight Mages saw this fire, looked at each other in unison, and burst into laughter with relief, shouting:

"The Karma Fire has arrived, the evildoer is dead!"

Li Xuanfeng's spiritual sense rolled in the fire for a while, being forced back into his body. A wave of scorching heat rushed toward his face, burning his magic power until it creaked. Li Xuanfeng observed for a moment and sneered: "What Karma Fire! It's just a mixture of three fires!"

But with the three fires stacked, the golden Qi on his body weakened instantly. The originally indestructible white armor made a cracking sound, a roar of being unable to bear the burden, under the burning of these three flames.

The eight Mages in front, however, were like fish in water in the fire, rushing over one after another. Li Xuanfeng had already drawn the golden spear from his chest during the conversation. The white string moved, popping out five white arrows.

At this moment, not only was there the suppression of the 【Kongxi Demon-Subduing Bowl】, but there were also three fires of burning gold burning fiercely. The white light flashed past, and its power was already much inferior to before.

"Bang!"

The Gang Qi on Li Xuanfeng's white bow slowly declined in the fire. The white arrows only blocked five of them, and the remaining three rushed forward urgently, each pinching seals:

"Ajali teaches me, decreeing the Su Xikong Dharma, Shakya reason technique..."

"Ding-dang..."

Three golden ropes with complex patterns flew out from their hands simultaneously, interlocking, entangling Li Xuanfeng's body, climbing up both arms while rubbing out sparks. Who knew that Li Xuanfeng had been waiting for the three of them? Golden Qi condensed, turning into a large hand to grab the golden ropes, pulling violently: "Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang..."

The sound of the golden ropes hitting the white armor was as thunderous as thunder. The three of them only felt a vast force coming, and they were all stunned. The golden ropes rubbed violently, sparks exploded, pulling them toward the man in white armor in the middle.

The three people's spiritual senses flickered, seeing that five people had already arrived near Li Xuanfeng, and five magic tools were pointing at his back. They suddenly realized, secretly thinking:

"His spiritual sense has been burned by the Karma Fire, and he can no longer see the situation clearly!"

Thus, instead of being alarmed, he was delighted. He took advantage of the momentum and lunged over, watching as that face with ghastly white patterns flickering on and off rapidly magnified before him. He shouted in his mouth: "Monster, die!"

"Boom!"

Li Xuanfeng's eyes had already turned into a sheet of ghastly white. His large hand beat the Dharma body into pieces. These three mages were suppressed below, and suddenly, golden light exploded behind them.

He didn't care at all. His fist was like light and shadow, smashing into the three people below. A patch of glass-like limb fragments flew up, and they were dissipated by the golden Qi in mid-air, unable to re-condense. The three headless bodies had no choice but to retreat in a sorry state. The man's gaze was like gold and iron, and his other hand waved violently.

"Li Xuanfeng... you are courting death!"

For a time, the golden Qi hit the giant Dharma bodies without reservation. The three Mages already had injuries, missing heads and legs. Li Xuanfeng pulled them over, only hearing three painful sounds of regret and hatred.

"You! How unwise!"

The three mages could never have imagined that the person before them would be so unyielding. Suddenly, they vanished like smoke, turning into glass fragments all over the ground and a rain of flowers. Li Xuanfeng let out a muffled groan.

"Crack!"

Five magic tools pierced through his body, bringing out a patch of intense golden Qi. He swept his white bow horizontally, but it already appeared somewhat clumsy and dull. The five people jumped away flexibly, retreating one after another, laughing in unison: "Good!"

"Clatter..."

The ghastly white Metal Qi flowed out like blood, dripping down along the patterns of the armor. In mid-air, it transformed into a color like white mist, melting in the fire. Li Xuanfeng slowly stood his body straight.

Two long spears pierced through his body, one from the left rib and out from the back of the heart, the other through the chest and abdomen, both painted with gorgeous golden patterns, releasing colorful light to penetrate his body.

On his left leg was a spider-web-like broken trace, smashed by the large hammer of the front-left Mage. There were two huge wounds on his abdomen, and one could vaguely see the empty white armor with Karma Fire jumping and burning inside.

"Hahahaha!"

The five practitioners retreated together, guarding against his desperate counterattack, but their hearts were relieved in unison. The feeling of exhilaration was not much; instead, there was a sense of relief.

Li Xuanfeng didn't see it wrong. The Karma Fire in the Kongxi Demon-Subduing Bowl was originally made of three types of fire, but these three types of fire were all Early Zifu level. Seeing the Karma Fire fly out, the five of them knew that Li Xuanfeng would surely die!

"No matter how powerful this white armor of yours is, you are ultimately a duckweed without roots! How can you withstand the burning of this kind of fire!"

Li Xuanfeng couldn't see the situation clearly, and having suffered such heavy injuries, he insisted on dragging those three to accompany him in death. Now the five of them only needed to guard against the approach of this person, consume him a few times, and Li Xuanfeng would surely die! The five of them were exhilarated, actually secretly having thoughts. Ideas surfaced one by one, silently widening the distance between each other, and the colorful light on their bodies not only paid attention to the man in white armor in front, but also guarded against each other:

"If I could harm a few more to death... wouldn't I be able to share more fate!"

As the colorful light behind their heads grew thicker, their gazes began to shift slowly. Their peripheral vision was all paying attention to each other's actions, but Li Xuanfeng stood there, holding the white bow.

He was tattered all over, empty inside with Karma Fire gushing, his aura declining bit by bit, but he still stood heavily, the string in his hand humming.

'What is he going to do?'

The five were stunned for a moment, seeing him hold the bow and draw the string, gradually drawing the string to a full moon. They all sneered, and a Mage holding a hammer laughed: "In the Karma Fire, what can you shoot!"

Although he said so, the five of them raised their vigilance simultaneously, their magic power operating, ready to resist at any time.

They were not careless, they just didn't want to be the first to take the shot, fearing they would fall into the hands of their companions. For a moment, they actually froze together.

Li Xuanfeng pointed his long bow straight, aiming at the shouting hammer-holding Mage, making his expression sink. The other four laughed, each operating their magic tools and rising to a high place.

"Hum!"

Following the disappearance of the white light on Li Xuanfeng's string, a violent roar sounded almost simultaneously. The other four all struck their magic tools toward that hammer-holding Mage. His expression changed drastically, horrified:

"You are so careless!"

"Hum..."

The white light in Li Xuanfeng's hand flickered, but the white arrow appeared on another person's face. This person glared with rage, holding a long sword, his expression shocked and angry, his voice like thunder:

"You dare!"

"Sowing discord..."

"Good!"

The hammer-holding Mage had a difficult expression, while the other three were overjoyed. For the first time, they felt appreciation for the man in white armor before them:

'Pity, how much strength does he have left in his arrows? No matter how he calculates, he will die!'

Li Xuanfeng was burned by the Karma Fire at this moment, which could not be fake. The Mysterious Arrows shot out had already declined to the extreme, soft and powerless. The three were relieved instead, sneering in their hearts:

'Small tricks! Just futilely fulfilling us!'

The five fought in a group in the air. Li Xuanfeng drew his bow again, but a golden-red arrow jumped onto the string.

This arrow was slightly slender, but its light was bright. It was the Mysterious Arrow refined with the combination of Fire and Stopping the War in the Mirage Mirror Heaven of the Green Pine Temple back then. It was quite resistant to fire, and the other five Mysterious Arrows had long been melted by the Karma Fire, but this one was only slightly red.

Li Xuanfeng was fully focused. The white bow in his hand surged with golden light, gathering in his palm. The intense Gang Qi leaked out like water, actually forcing the Karma Fire around him back three feet, unable to move an inch.

At this moment, he didn't look like he was at the end of his rope; on the contrary, he was three times more terrifying than before. The edges of his tattered white armor burned with light like fire, capturing people's souls.

"Hum......"

The five were stunned simultaneously. The familiar fear of death surged into their hearts again. The Gang Qi was still pouring out, and they made sharp whistling sounds in the air, shaking the flames: "Ao!!"

Unbelievable emotions filled the hearts of the five. A thought surfaced in their minds simultaneously: 'How is this possible!'

The surging golden light had already gushed out, like a pillar of light connecting heaven and earth, splitting the Karma Fire and rushing over, condensing on that golden-red arrow, making a piercing whistling sound.

This arrow was the Gang Qi accumulated in the bow every time Li Xuanfeng shot an arrow. More than twenty years ago, he used it to deal with the genius Yu Muxian, almost shooting him to death with one arrow...

Now, twenty years later, twenty years of late-stage Foundation Establishment, twenty years of slaughter, every arrow of Li Xuanfeng in the past twenty years was comparable to the sum of several months in the past. Now that it was accumulated, how could it not be terrifying? He was burned by the Karma Fire and immediately understood that the white armor on his body could no longer protect his body. However, he had fought more times in the past few decades than these Mages who chanted scriptures every day combined, and he had a plan in an instant, designing to shoot this arrow.

"Hum..."

The five Mages in the air were swallowed by the Gang Qi brilliance in an instant. The five of them and their respective magic tools were swallowed one after another, vanishing in this intense Gang Qi.

The bright golden light even filled the entire Kongxi Demon-Subduing Bowl with phantom colors. The mountain-sized main body shook, making a terrifying muffled sound.

The two closest didn't even hum. In an instant, their Dharma bodies and souls were reduced to nothing, and even their magic tools turned into a sky full of golden powder, thoroughly and completely destroyed in soul and form.

Following them, although the other two had the unlucky ones in front to block, the sword-holding Mage was blocked by the white arrow, and the hammer-holding Mage was blocked by his companions. Their Dharma bodies were reduced to ashes all the same, fortunately leaving two streams of light that jumped in the Karma Fire, falling to the ground like meteorites, turning toward the north to reincarnate.

The last one only had time to move half a body position before the entire body was vaporized into nothingness, leaving half a head falling to the ground. Both eyes were full of disbelief, but he no longer had a chin to speak, rolling into the Karma Fire with a plop.

"Ugh..."

He only had time to condense a mouth, but not a single word fell out. Inside the Kongxi Demon-Subduing Bowl, it was dark. The man in white armor had already arrived before him, his cold gaze without a hint of hesitation, stepping on it with one foot.

"Crack!"

The glass-like fragments scattered in the rolling flames. This head still had a look of begging in its eyes, but it had already been crushed to powder. The supreme golden Qi injured the soul and destroyed the spirit, instead causing him to lose his life.

In the entire Karma Fire, it was finally quiet. The ground was left with the bones and magic tools of the Mages. The tongues of fire licked the white armor, slowly consuming the golden Qi on his body.

"Drip!"

The rolling autumn dew flowed down along Li Xuanfeng's armor, being burned into nothingness by the Karma Fire in mid-air. Li Xuanfeng pulled the golden spear from his chest bit by bit, throwing it in front of him with a clang.

"Crack......"

He crushed the glass beneath his feet and slowly sat down. The two Immortal Foundations in his body remained as a thin layer.

The man's face under the ghastly white patterns held a smile, sitting atop the small mountain of piled-up broken Dharma bodies, as if sitting on his own throne. The white bow pierced into the chest of a skeleton, leaning against his palm.

Beneath his feet were limbs and fragments like glass, stretching out in a sheet—either hands or legs, or ferocious faces, or Vajra bodies, lying quietly in the karmic fire. The white bow stood by his side, slowly glowing.

He adjusted his breath slowly, waiting for the remaining Mages to arrive.

But perhaps blocked by the remaining Maha, or perhaps the various mages were not fools and had long since retreated, the Kongxi Demon-Subduing Bowl stayed sluggishly in the air. Having lost the mages' maintenance, it actually stalemated for a full dozen breaths before unwillingly returning to the Grand Void.

Li Xuanfeng sat on the mountain of corpses of the Mages. His eyes, burned dim by the Karma Fire, finally reflected the scenery of the south of the river.

The surging river water flowed eastward, the river water spinning, fast or slow, cold and unchanging through the ages. The rocks were jagged, the waves surged, and the entire scenery was no different from before he entered the formation.

Only the water surface was crowded with petals, fluttering and falling, these petals crowding and flowing downstream, from west to east, rushing toward the distant East Sea.

His pupils moved slightly, shifting toward the north—a hundred miles north and south of the great river, glass covered the ground, all covered in pink.

"Very beautiful." ===== CHAPTER 601 =====
