At that moment, Liang Yihan was still kneeling on the ground, his strength exhausted from barely managing to use the "Dao Transformation of Myriad Things" sword technique, making it difficult for him to even move. Therefore, he could only helplessly watch as the dragons grabbed the monks and approached, remaining motionless.
Eight dragons, each carrying one of the monks, brought them to Liang Yihan's side. They chanted incantations, releasing the magic ropes from the monks' wrists and instead binding their legs. Then, the dragons grabbed the monks' hands, forcing them to grip their Buddhist implements. They channeled their spiritual power into the monks' bodies, compelling them to infuse their implements with Buddhist energy, and then swung the ropes down hard at the defenseless Liang Yihan.
Blood splattered all over Liang Yihan's body instantly, making him look extremely miserable. He suffered several severe blows and couldn't help but groan.
Liuli's indifferent gaze shifted from Liang Yihan to Shichan, who was being attacked by the group of divine beast youths.
At that time, Shi Chan tried to escape several times under the siege of the divine beast youths, but could not. Because of the seven-jeweled kasaya on his body, the youths could not hurt him, and the siege was thus put into a stalemate.
Liuli turned to look at Liang Yihan, only to see that he had been attacked several times by the Buddhist artifacts wielded by the eight monks, and coupled with the wounds inflicted by the divine beast youths earlier, he was already covered in wounds and lay on the ground, barely alive. He was coldly staring at Liuli, enduring excruciating pain but gritting his teeth and suppressing all cries of agony, looking extremely miserable.
Looking at his expression, Liuli tilted her head and gave a wicked smile.
She then turned to look at Shi Chan, her gaze complex, and murmured to herself, "It's time to end this, Monk Shi Chan."
With a gentle flick of her wrist, a crimson ribbon moved swiftly, streaking across the sky like a colorful ribbon, and quickly flashed into the encirclement of the divine beast youths, binding Shi Chan tightly before he could even notice.
Shi Chan frowned, instinctively trying to break free. With a thought, the golden light of his seven-jeweled kasaya shone brightly. The golden light shone through the gaps in the ribbons, threatening to stretch them open and free Shi Chan from his restraints.
Just then, the divine beast youths made way for Liuli, who sat on the nine-colored lotus platform and slowly approached Shichan.
Shi Chan was stunned for a moment before realizing that the ribbon binding him was Liuli's weapon.
The light of the Seven Treasures Kasaya gradually dimmed. Shi Chan looked at Liuli and called out gently, "Miss Liuli."
Liuli looked at him with a complicated expression and said in a low voice, "Monk, you shouldn't have gotten involved in this."
When did her hatred for him diminish to the point where she could barely remember it? Now, he was clearly bound by her, and she could kill him with a flick of her wrist, yet she still blurted out those words without thinking.
Liuli regretted her words immediately. She closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them again, her expression was unusually cold. She gave a cold laugh and said indifferently, "But it's good that you're here. Today, let's settle our scores!"
With a sincere expression, Shi Chan said, “Miss, I have always said that you can take my life whenever you wish, and I would never dare to fight back. But today, I cannot die, nor can I let Fellow Daoist Liang die. Our deaths are insignificant to the righteous path of the Central Plains, but if our deaths further intensify the struggle between the two righteous paths, it would be a sin.”
Liuli sneered, "You think you can just stay alive if you don't want to die? What a joke!"
“Young lady,” Shi Chan said earnestly, “why insist on stirring up a struggle for the orthodox lineage of the Central Plains, and why help the demons to harm the righteous path? If the demons truly conquer the Central Plains one day, the people will suffer greatly, and that is not the scene you want to see. Young lady, I beg you, please stop.”
Liuli scoffed and said coldly, "The people of the Central Plains? What do they have to do with me? I just want to see you Buddhist monks die one after another. I will stop at nothing to achieve this goal!"
