Chapter 378: Tearing the Buddhist Hall

"Your plot is to use the hands of demons to replace the Qian Dao Palace?"

Li Hao narrowed his eyes, staring at the other party. Combining many pieces of information, although the demon invasion of Emperor Da Yu was a general trend, this Buddha Lord clearly played a role in fueling the flames behind the scenes.

In this way, using Old Feng to influence him could be understood.

In his childhood, the other party used that mother and son as pawns, trying to control the Divine General's Mansion, and he became a small stone, slightly hindering them, so the poison pill was used to cripple him.

Now that he had the ability to guard Emperor Da Yu, becoming a great obstacle, they wanted to use Old Feng to destroy his relationship with the imperial court. Their true goal had always been the entire Divine Dynasty.

The state religion revered by the Emperor Da Yu Divine Dynasty is the Daoist sect, with the Qian Dao Palace as the head of the world's Daoist temples, and the Buddhist sect can only rank second.

Seemingly not competing with the world, in reality, they want to compete for the biggest one.

Hearing Li Hao's words, the Buddha Lord smiled and did not answer.

"Don't block the way, bald donkey!"

Just at this moment, an angry shout came from outside.

Immediately following, a sharp sword intent appeared, and the disheveled figure of the Ninth Prince Jiang Lichen rushed into the Buddhist hall.

When he saw the Buddha Lord sitting on the purple-gold lotus throne, he raised his eyebrows, sneered, and then looked at Li Hao:

"If you need the old man's help, you can say so. I also happen to have never sparred with him. How about letting me go first?"

Seeing Jiang Lichen, the smile on the Buddha Lord's face slightly receded, and his brows furrowed imperceptibly.

"Who are you, trespassing into the Buddhist hall? Do you want to die?!"

A Bodhisattva chased over and said angrily, his face flushed red with anger. Being suppressed by Li Hao was one thing, after all, Li Hao was in the Taiping Dao Realm.

But this lunatic who popped out of nowhere actually dared to trespass into Mount Wuliang. Their Buddhist sect had not suffered such humiliation for hundreds of years.

"You chicken-neck, you are not worthy of drinking my sword. Get lost!"

Jiang Lichen just swept a glance at the other party and ignored him, his palm pressed on the hilt of his sword, his eyes staring straight at the Buddha Lord:

"The second strongest expert in the world—I have long wanted to see for myself. It's a pity that before I was imprisoned, I didn't even have the qualification to draw my sword in front of you, but now I do!"

"Ninth Prince, you must respect your status. If you draw your sword here, His Majesty will be very embarrassed."

The Buddha Lord said solemnly.

Jiang Lichen scoffed and said: "Embarrassment is his business. What does it have to do with me? I only care about myself. Who cares about this world!"

The Buddha Lord's eyes flickered slightly, and he did not say more. He had long heard that this Ninth Prince was a sword lunatic, fallen into the demonic path, and had once gone on a killing spree in the imperial capital, causing many civilians to be drawn into it and die miserably. His actions were unpredictable.

"Why don't you take action? What are you waiting for?" Jiang Lichen looked at Li Hao, somewhat eager to incite Li Hao to take action.

He was not here to help in the battle, but rather feared that there would be no chaos.

Li Hao did not speak. He was waiting, waiting for Old Feng to arrive.

Before seeing Old Feng, if he took action rashly, it would very likely lead to something happening to Old Feng.

After all, the other party had been prepared for a long time, waiting for him to enter the trap.

Suddenly, Li Hao's expression changed, and he turned around abruptly, rushing out of the Buddhist hall.

He saw a group of figures walking on a hillside of this Lingshan. They were wearing luxurious brocade clothes, wearing precious jade ornaments, and there were men, women, old, and young, chatting and laughing with each other.

In front of them, Lin Wujing held a chain in his hand, the chain stained with blood, and behind the chain, he was dragging a broken body like a corpse.

That body was glowing red, withered and thin, with two bloody holes where the eyes should be, full of blood, and its aura was weak.

With a *bang*, Li Hao felt as if there was an explosion in his mind, and it went somewhat blank.

"General Hao Tian, this is that little thief. Do you really want to absolve him of his crimes?"

Lin Wujing saw Li Hao in front of the Buddhist hall and said loudly.

The many men and women chatting and laughing behind him also stopped their climbing and talking at this moment, their smiles receded, and they looked at the boy in front of the Buddhist hall.

They knew that they had come here to be witnesses. If that boy really absolved that great thief, they would have to go to the imperial court to impeach him.

"Is he General Hao Tian? He is really young."

"General Hao Tian, you must think thrice..."

*Bang bang bang bang!! * Before the second noble finished speaking, his head suddenly burst, followed by a series of bursts! The dozens of people who were originally chatting and laughing all turned into a mist of blood and plasma in an instant! The others hadn't even had time to speak, nor had they had time to react.

Divine souls rushed out, shocked and bewildered, even forgetting to escape, but they had no chance to escape, and the divine souls were suddenly extinguished like fireflies!

It was as if they were directly strangled by a pair of large hands!

In front, Lin Wujing, who was dragging the chain, was stunned, looking at Li Hao in bewilderment. The blood splashed onto him, instantly dyeing his cassock and Buddhist robes red, and also dyeing his bald head red. When he reacted, he wanted to escape in horror, but the next moment, his body also suddenly tore apart!

"Buddha Lord, save..."

Lin Wujing's divine soul rushed out and wanted to escape for help, but the next moment, it was also torn and crushed! On that bluestone road, in an instant, only the figure of the old man remained.

The remaining two Bodhisattvas at the entrance of the Buddhist hall were both stunned, then their eyes narrowed, and they looked at the boy's back in horror.

The other party's body was trembling as he walked toward the old man.

Every step seemed to press the entire Lingshan down by an inch.

The terrifying might dissipated from his body. Just the pressure made them feel unable to breathe, their pores shrinking, and their hearts seemed to be in their throats.

It was like a wild beast from the wilderness walking past, making people hold their breath.

"Old Feng..."

Li Hao's voice trembled, his throat seemed hoarse, and crimson tears rolled down from his eye sockets instantly.

That Saint of Thieves who had been carefree for a lifetime had actually ended up in such a state at this moment, not even having a shred of dignity!

When Li Hao came to Old Feng, he saw that besides the eyes, the ears, nose, and mouth of the old man also seemed to have been destroyed, unable to speak or hear.

Li Hao's whole body trembled. He squatted down tremblingly, picked up his body, and at the same time tore off his own clothes to cover him.

"Old Feng..."

Li Hao's throat seemed to be blocked by scorching magma, his voice choked with sobs.

Old Feng's body reacted slightly, as if sensing something. He raised his head, wanting to see Li Hao's face, but his eyes were bloody holes.

He raised his hand and touched Li Hao's cheek gently, as if identifying the boy's identity through the touch.

His movements paused for a moment, then he opened his mouth. His teeth had all fallen out, and he had no tongue. His pitch-black mouth was calling out something to Li Hao.

The lip shape seemed to be saying, run quickly...

Li Hao noticed that Old Feng was covered in wounds, and the blood in these wounds was mixed with some dark purple things. It was these things that caused Old Feng's wounds to be unable to heal, and seemed to have locked his divine soul, cutting off all perception of the outside world.

The cruelty of the means was rare even in the Criminal Division! "Candle Zhu Huoshen!"

Li Hao felt blood rushing straight to his forehead, his brain seemed about to burst, but his voice was pressed extremely low, hoarse like sandpaper.

The Candle Zhu Huoshen outside the Buddhist hall flew rapidly and stood beside Li Hao.

"Xi Yan, take good care of the old man for me." Li Hao's body trembled slightly.

Xi Yan, who had changed from the red ring on his wrist, came down from Li Hao's wrist. She seemed to know what would happen next and that she would affect Li Hao.

She said worriedly: "You must be careful."

Li Hao did not answer, just stood up slowly.

With his movements, the wild wind between the entire heaven and earth seemed to stop.

The Candle Zhu Huoshen did not say much, carried Feng Feng Bo Ping on its back, and Xi Yan also came to the back of the Candle Zhu Huoshen, soaring into the air to arrive outside the Lingshan to avoid being affected by the battle.

Li Hao raised his head, the blood tears in his eyes had stopped, and he looked at that solemn Spirit Realm Buddhist Hall.

As he raised his head, a vast might suddenly swept out, rushing straight to the Buddhist hall! The two Bodhisattvas at the entrance of the Buddhist hall had their pupils shrink, their hearts terrified, and they hurriedly retreated, feeling their souls flying away, having a fear of facing death directly.

"Buddha, Lord!!"

Li Hao's hair flew up, and he suddenly erupted with a roar: "Get out here!!"

The Nine-Fold Dao Domain erupted instantly, tearing the void, and suppressed out with unimaginable speed.

The two Bodhisattvas bore the brunt and were about to be torn by the Dao Domain, but the next moment, another powerful Dao Domain suddenly extended from the Buddhist hall, colliding with Li Hao's Nine-Fold Dao Domain.

At the moment of collision, two kinds of visions were torn in the void. Under the rules, the ground in front of the Buddhist hall collapsed, but the Buddhist hall stood motionless.

The Nine-Fold Dao Domain was actually blocked! But the next moment, the Tenth-Fold Dao Domain suppressed out!

In the Lingyuan Pavilion of the Xia Clan in Youzhou, absorbing many Xia Clan martial arts manuals, Li Hao also deduced more unique skills, and unique skills can be cultivated into Dao Domains.

*Bang!! *

That vast power in the Buddhist hall was suddenly covered. As Li Hao stepped out, this Buddhist hall that had stood for a thousand years suddenly exploded! That solemn Buddhist hall was torn apart, and the Spirit Realm permeating with white mist was exposed. The Buddha Lord sat on the purple-gold lotus throne, a trace of surprise appearing in his eyes, and he said calmly:

"It seems you have already fallen into the demonic path."
