"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.
...
Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
roar!
The tiger roared like thunder, and the earth shook.
A buzzing sound filled everyone's minds. "Ah!" Dozens of people around Li Changzhou covered their ears, blood already seeping from between their fingers.
Bai Suzhen let out a muffled groan, and Xiaoqing was even more exhausted, collapsing to the ground.
Amidst the tiger's roar, Li Changzhou and his three companions, their clothes fluttering in the wind, also felt a slight difficulty breathing.
"Roar!" Another tiger roared, and a beam of white light shot down from the "king" character on the white tiger's forehead, heading straight for Li Changzhou.
Li Changzhou flipped his wrist, and the Emerald Bee Sword appeared in his hand. His entire body surged with magical power, and the sword shone with a lava-like color.
The color flowed along the sword, transforming into a crimson sword aura several meters long.
When white light and red light collide, their light waves oscillate simultaneously, miraculously intertwining like a rainbow!
Buzz!
A golden tin staff shot into the sky, its copper rings jingling as it struck Li Changzhou on the head.
Yaochi smiled and raised her hand to strike.
boom!
The staff transformed into a shooting star and disappeared straight into the sky. Yaochi squeezed her tender hand and felt a little pain.
"And who is this Arhat?" she asked with a smile, her voice captivating.
Those who were disoriented by the blast wave actually thought to themselves: This voice is so beautiful, even more melodious than that of a Bodhisattva.
"To exorcise demons is to preach the truth; to slay evil is to become a Buddha!"
With a soft thud, the departing staff was suddenly grasped again by a monk—it was none other than the Arhat who subdued demons.
"Amitabha." A pagoda grew larger and larger, hovering in the air and enveloping Li Changzhou.
Li Changzhou glanced upwards, and before he could make a move, Yang Qinglan struck out the Ruyi in her hand.
The trees on Mount Putuo grew wildly, clinging to the iron tower as if they were possessing it.
In the lotus pond, lotus flowers transformed into human figures, each grabbing a lotus root as a weapon and charging towards the three Arhats in the sky.
"Hmph!" The Demon-Subduing Arhat slammed his staff on the ground.
Boom! The Buddha's power swept across, shattering the lotus demon. Petals flew everywhere, among which green lotus roots were scattered.
The pagoda broke free from the trees that resembled snakes emerging from their holes and crashed down like a missile.
Li Qianxia stepped forward, holding a steel spear as swift as a dragon.
Peng!
She took a step back, and above the sea of clouds, the Immovable Arhat who had caught the pagoda also staggered and uttered a Buddhist chant.
Li Changzhou waved his Emerald Bee Sword, and the crimson sword light grew by more than ten meters.
With a hiss, the crimson light pierced through the white light, slashing across the white tiger's forehead.
Roar! The white tiger twisted its head and roared, sparks flying from the wound on its forehead like lava, and the character "王" (king) turned into "玉" (jade).
"Let's go." Li Changzhou sheathed his sword.
This is, after all, someone else's training ground.
Just then, a fair, white hand came down, and the four of them immediately changed color, becoming somewhat unable to move.
Under this hand, there was a long-lost sense of powerlessness, a feeling of having nowhere to escape.
Guanyin!
Li Changzhou drew his Emerald Bee Sword once more, unleashing a burst of five-colored true light as he met the overwhelming palm strike.
It was as if a thin blade had struck a solid block of iron; the five-colored light shattered inch by inch.
puff!
As he coughed up blood, he stepped back, and a vortex rapidly expanded behind him, engulfing the four of them. Even the green and white snakes couldn't take them with them in time.
