Actually, it wasn't that he didn't want to protect himself, but rather that with his abilities, although he could receive the Buddha's power to suppress the demons, he couldn't stop them at all, and stopping would have been futile.
He actually knew that Di Moyu valued him so much that he would never abandon him, which was why he remained so calm.
However, he was also puzzled as to what those invisible blades were, and why he couldn't see anything even though they landed on people.
"ah…"
Just as everyone was wondering, several terrified screams suddenly came from the city wall.
"Pfft..."
But the soldiers on the city wall actually raised their weapons and ruthlessly killed their comrades!
Furthermore, some people even rotated the cannons and aimed them directly into the city!
In an instant, internal strife broke out on the city walls!
"Quickly, stop them!"
Some of the lucky soldiers who were not injured by the blades rushed forward to stop them upon seeing this.
"Ah... the Yaksha has come to the city! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"
However, those soldiers seemed to have lost their minds, their eyes were bloodshot, and they only thought about killing their comrades.
From their few words, it seems they viewed their companion as a demon!
"I...I'm out of control."
Some of the soldiers who were still able to control themselves crouched on the ground, clutching their heads and screaming in pain, while repeatedly warning those around them to stay away.
Faced with this situation, the group had no better solution than to temporarily knock them unconscious and tie them up.
However, this has made the already strained manpower situation even more dire.
"What exactly is going on?"
Panic gripped the entire area; no one knew why things had turned out this way.
"It's those blades!"
Suddenly, someone shouted, pointing at Ming Huashang, "It must be him! It was his blades that made us lose control! He's manipulating us!"
Upon hearing the soldier's words, the previously confused crowd instantly came to their senses.
"Yes, definitely!"
Only this makes sense. Why didn't those blades cause them any physical harm? It turns out that their function was to control their minds!
Oh no!
At this moment, Ji Fanya gritted his teeth anxiously and said, "That's a unique ability of the demons, called the Heart-Stealing Blade. It can control a person's consciousness and change their will, making them do things they don't want to do. And the longer it drags on, the deeper that energy will penetrate, and the harder it will be to remove."
"hiss…"
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped.
Too many of them have been infected. If this continues, won't they perish without the Yaksha's intervention?
This move is absolutely vicious!
With hundreds of thousands of people in the city, aren't these demons a bit too terrifying, managing to wipe out so many people at once!
"This old monk will absolutely not allow such a thing to happen!"
Upon hearing this, the Buddha gritted his teeth and immediately began chanting Buddhist scriptures. He chanted the most classic Buddhist mantra for purifying the mind, the Heart Sutra.
"Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva practices the profound Prajnaparamita..."
As Buddhist scriptures were chanted, countless golden runes descended from the sky, landing on the people and causing their previously ferocious expressions to freeze.
A moment of confusion flashed in his eyes, followed by an expression of extreme pain on his face, as if he were waging a very difficult struggle against something.
