"Even if it means death, we must stop them." - Black-armored soldier squad leader.
"yes!"
As long as the black-armored soldiers were not immediately dead, they would stand in front of Li Tianyi.
Even worse, some would grab his legs to buy time for their companions to strangle him.
"You're asking for it."
With all its power unleashed, the Martial Venerable's strength was on full display, and no enemy could touch it anymore.
They fought their way through and broke through the encirclement once again.
"Pfft, waah!" Tianshan Child Granny was sent flying backward, covered in blood, her breath weak.
"Vice Alliance Leader!"
Chang Zilong also had several long cuts on his body, but he disregarded his own safety and rushed over to help.
The armored guards, however, give you no chance.
Just as she was about to die under the scimitar, a lion's roar rang out.
At the same time, Master Huiming arrived swiftly.
"You all go first, leave this to me."
His Lion's Roar was even more powerful than Li Tianyi's enhanced version. The invulnerable Corpse Armor Guard clutched his head, writhing in agony.
"Today, I will unleash a massacre and wipe out you wicked people who bring calamity to the world."
A layer of golden energy emanated from him, making him appear incomparably sacred.
"Buddha's Palm!"
A roar echoed across the sky, gradually coalescing into a giant hand that crashed down rapidly.
Before they even got close to the armored guards, black blood began to flow from their seven orifices.
Boom!
boom!
The giant hand slammed down, leaving a palm print several meters deep on the ground; the armored guard had been smashed into a bloody pulp.
"You old bald monk, you?!" The head guard was horrified and kept backing away.
"To aid and abet evil, die!"
He drew a circle with his right palm in front of his chest, and an even more terrifying palm wind struck the head guard, shattering his internal organs and causing him to fall to the ground dead.
"Amitabha!" A bitter look flashed in Master Huiming's eyes as he turned his gaze to Li Tianyi. "Who is he?"
"The brothers of the two elders." Chang Zilong covered his wound.
“Master Chang, you were also seriously injured. Leave the rescue to this old monk.”
"Thank you for your trouble, Vice Alliance Leader."
Master Huiming nodded and used the "Crossing the River on a Reed" movement technique, turning into a blur.
Li Tianyi was shocked. "This master's strength is only at the peak of the Grandmaster level, yet he can unleash strength no less than that of a mid-stage Musashi. It seems that my understanding of martial arts is not thorough enough."
"Once this matter is over, I will humbly ask him for advice."
He slashed the enemy away with a single blow and quickly reunited with Master Huiming.
"Master, be careful!"
Master Huiming raised his kasaya and swept it towards the black-armored soldiers.
"The Kasaya Subduing Demon Skill?" Li Tianyi admired Master Huiming even more, nodded heavily, and continued to slaughter the enemy troops on the left flank.
The two fought and retreated, quickly breaking free of the encirclement.
Suddenly, shouts of battle came from afar, and several Shaolin monks were rushing over.
"Slay the demons and eliminate evil! Kill!"
The Shaolin monks' fighting prowess was far beyond what Chang Zilong and his group could match, and they broke through the encirclement in an instant.
"Don't let any of these thieves, who are worse than animals, get away with it." The middle-aged monk had a fierce look on his face.
His Eagle Claw technique is unparalleled in the world; his attacks either kill or maim, making him extremely domineering.
“Amitabha. Brother Huikong, do not let evil control your heart.”
Huikong shuddered, the killing intent in his eyes gradually fading, but his attacks remained ruthless, and the black-armored soldiers fell one after another.
The black-armored leader's heart was bleeding; his face was extremely gloomy. He nodded to his confidant.
Li Tianyi happened to witness this scene and was greatly shocked. "Shaolin is indeed full of hidden talents. There are even several martial arts masters here."
Little did he know that there was an unwritten rule between the righteous alliance and the evil faction: no one was allowed to use strength exceeding the peak of a Grandmaster.
"Huiming, you bald monk, do you dare to tear up the treaty set by the major sects? Do you want your entire sect wiped out?" The black-armored leader pointed at him viciously.
"It's only targeting sectarian disputes." Huikong's face was full of anger. "Your Wacha Kingdom has even mobilized its army. Aren't you afraid of being attacked by the entire martial arts world?"
"Bald monk, which of your eyes saw that we are the military?" The black-armored leader's eyes flashed with a cunning smile. "We are legitimate members of the Gu Clan."
"You, you are all shameless."
Even the most virtuous Shaolin monks wouldn't want to say another word to him.
The leader of the black-armored group smiled smugly and whispered to his confidant, "If we can't win, we'll use our trump card."
The confidant trembled. "Is this really how it must be?"
"Are you afraid of death?" The black-armored leader's hand was already on the hilt of his sword, his eyes filled with rage.
“I’m never afraid of death.” The confidant said bitterly, “I’m just afraid of being talked about behind our backs after we die.”
“The person is dead, what’s there to be afraid of?” said another confidant.
"Yes." (Subordinate)
"Everyone agrees, so I have no reason to disagree."
A sinister glint flashed in his confidant's eyes. He stepped aside and, along with several of his men, began fiddling with something.
As time went on, the number of black-armored soldiers decreased rapidly.
"Let's do it!"
The black-armored leader, his face grim, quickly forced his opponent back and pulled out a packet of white powder from his pocket.
At the same time, his confidants and subordinates opened several cloth bags, and tens of thousands of black insects swarmed toward the corpse.
They became very violent after being hit by the white powder.
"Destroy them! Destroy them!" Li Tianyi shouted.
"The Robe Subduing Demon Technique!"
"Buddha's Palm!"
"Eagle Claw Kung Fu!"
"Dragon Claw Hand!"
......
The Shaolin monks unleashed their ultimate techniques, and the number of black insects decreased.
But before you could even rejoice, more insects burrowed into the corpse, and a mechanical sound suddenly rang out.
The corpses kept rising to their feet, emanating an eerie aura.
"Anyone below the peak of Grandmaster, immediately withdraw from the battle, quickly!" Li Tianyi's expression was very solemn.
“Follow the layperson’s instructions and step back!” Master Huiming.
Everyone stepped back, leaving fewer than ten people behind.
More and more corpses appeared nearby, forming a thick wall of people that blocked the black-armored leader's path.
"Masters, I will lead the attack. You all find an opportunity to bypass them and take down the enemy leader."
“Leave it to me,” said Master Huikong.
Li Tianyi nodded emphatically, "Get ready, let's go!"
The two moved with incredible speed, becoming two afterimages.
A look of disdain flashed in the black-armored leader's eyes, and a cold smile appeared on his lips as he formed several intricate hand seals.
The corpses on both flanks immediately sprang into action, surrounding the two men.
Li Tianyi wielded the knife in both hands and unleashed a blade of light tens of meters long, instantly cleaving the corpses in the front row in two.
"Right now."
Master Huikong used Eagle Claw Kung Fu in one hand and Dragon Claw Kung Fu in the other, instantly shattering any corpse that dared to approach.
"You think you can get here like this?" The black-armored leader's smile deepened, and his hand seals moved even faster, sending two tall corpses rushing out.
They were pieced together from several corpses, covered in bloody holes, with one head, eight arms, and two feet.
Eight weapons thrust at him from different angles.
Master Huikong truly lived up to his reputation as a highly accomplished monk with thirteen unique skills; his body moved like a slippery fish, passing through the gaps in the attacks.
Another corpse quickly intercepted it.
"The Flower-Picking Finger Technique!"
Countless fallen leaves flew into his hand and were shot out like locusts.
Sizzle!
The corpse was pierced through, but it did not fall; the speed at which the weapon was swung increased.
"Do you really think this humble monk can't do anything to you?"
His entire body radiated golden light, and swastikas gradually appeared in his palms. "Great Compassion Thousand Leaf Hand!"
A giant swastika fell on the corpse.
Boom! Thud!
The two tall corpses shattered, and the black-armored leader's brows furrowed immediately, his hand seals forming even faster.
"My lord, rather than us controlling the corpse, we should let it do as it pleases." The confidant glanced at the insect in his hand, opened his mouth, and swallowed it whole. "It's time to go!"
"We are leaving now, sir. Take care."
After a living person swallows the insect, their combat power increases exponentially, and their evil aura soars to the heavens.
"Master, come back."
Li Tianyi's expression was solemn, his mind flashing back to his encounter with the River Styx. "Now it's certain that the Gu Sect is definitely connected to the River Styx. In that case, these damned things must be destroyed."
It released all its energy, and the void trembled.
"Martial Venerable, this, this?" The black-armored leader was completely dumbfounded and stood there stunned.
Master Huikong seized the opportunity, passed through the horde of corpses, and went straight for his throat.
The leader's strength was completely insignificant, and he couldn't stop them at all. In desperation, he threw out several corpses.
Claws flashed, and the corpse was torn to pieces.
"The Buddha said: If I don't go to hell, who will?" Master Huikong, covered in blood, his eyes flashing with intense killing intent, shouted, "Die!"
The cunning attack is drawing ever closer.
The black-armored leader rolled repeatedly, creating distance between them, and a sinister smile appeared on his lips. "Since you insist on courting death, then let's die together."
Master Huikong was startled and immediately retreated.
boom!
A plume of white smoke rose, carrying a strong, pungent odor.
When the smoke cleared, there was no trace of the enemy.
Master Huikong warily watched his surroundings.
The black-armored leader appeared behind them and thrust his long sword out with all his might.
Boom!
The long sword broke.
"this?"
Master Huikong smiled and asked, "How's the monk's Golden Bell Shield?"
"You?" Hatred flashed in the black-armored leader's eyes. He produced a brown pill and swallowed it. "I must say, you are indeed strong. However, you still only have death to live on."
An extremely evil force shot straight into the sky, and Master Huikong was horrified to find that he could not move his body.
Li Tianyi sped up and rushed over.
The distance is too far; rescue is impossible.
"Bald monk, die!"
A black dagger pierced towards Master Huikong.
The dagger stopped at a distance of five centimeters, and no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't advance an inch.
"Bald monk, I didn't expect you to have cultivated the Yi Jin Jing to such a high level. I really underestimated you."
The evil aura rapidly receded, and the dagger advanced one centimeter.
Master Huikong had beads of cold sweat on his temples.
The dagger continued to advance, now only a centimeter away from the clothing.
His internal energy was depleted, and he was sweating profusely, but he couldn't stop the evil aura. The tip of the dagger had already pierced his clothes.
"Go to hell!"
The black-armored leader's face was extremely ferocious as he thrust forward with all his might.
Upon contact with the skin, Li Tianyi finally arrived, and with a horizontal slash, he cut the black-armored leader's neck.
If he wants to kill Master Huikong, he will have to pay with his life.
"I can't die now." The thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly let go, drifting backward.
The Po Jun strike landed in mid-air.
"Let me show you what true power is."
With a furious shout, all the corpses rapidly converged, their bodies beginning to stick together.
An evil aura filled the sky, plunging the entire heavens into darkness...
