Midair.

As the battle between the two heirs intensified, many wounds gradually appeared on the body surface of the Buddha statue and the king squid.

In comparison to the two, the king squid is not only inferior to the Buddha statue in terms of strength, but even its wounds heal far less quickly than the other.

At first glance, the injuries on its body are far more serious than those of the Buddha statue.

But there is only one thing that the Buddha statue can't compare.

The power of the king squid seems to be endless. It was slow to heal the wound, but it never stopped.

Buddha statue.

As long as the great Buddhist monks stop torturing themselves because they are in too much pain, then the 'power of suffering' that supplies the Buddha statue will be cut off immediately.

Without the 'Power of Pain', the Buddha statue's injuries will no longer heal itself, and will show fatigue in the battle with the king squid.

Therefore, in order to prevent the Buddha statue from being at a disadvantage in the battle, the great Buddhist monks still gritted their teeth and insisted on self-torture, although their whole bodies were drenched in blood

'Poof'!

Finally, a monk was so injured in the process of self that he could no longer hold on, and spat blood and fell to the ground.

"Wuwen You"

Seeing this monk fall to the ground, Xuan Si's eyes showed a look of panic.

He glanced at the squid in the air that was fighting with the Buddha statue, and said to the monks: "Senior brothers, if we continue like this, we will be consumed alive sooner or later. ”

"So if you want to retreat from the enemy, the only way is to increase the amount of 'Pain Power' generated, and take down the king squid in one go!"

As he spoke, Xuan Si's eyes showed a touch of ruthlessness, and he quickly took out coal, fire tongs, tweezers, steel tongs and other more diverse torture tools from his bag.

Xuan Si gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone, increase your efforts. As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? ”

"Amitabha!"

Hearing this, after the monks pronounced the Buddha's name, they also took out a wide variety of torture instruments from their bags behind them.

Some of these torture instruments survived and the monks were able to reluctantly accept them.

However, there are very few ingenious torture instruments that are very 'brainy', let alone experienced them personally, just by looking at them, the monks who are waiting for them to survive only feel a shudder in their hearts.

And these torture instruments, the great Buddhist monks will experience them one by one.

In order to buy more time for the people to escape, in order to complete the teleportation array in the palace of the Liang Kingdom, they were willing to be tortured by this inhumane.

Thinking of this, the monks in Xiashan City felt inexplicably shocked in their hearts, and everyone showed expressions of excitement and admiration on their faces.

I don't know who started it first.

Finally, a monk took the initiative to stand up and bowed to the Buddhist monks: "Master's righteous act! Admire under it! ”

"Master Gaoyi!"

As soon as these words came out, more and more monks came out one after another, either clasping their fists or bowing to the great Buddhist monks.

Meanwhile.

After the Great Buddhist monks increased their efforts and released more 'pain power', the strength of the Buddha statue in the sky was also improved in this instant.

When it waved its palm, it could see countless giant palm phantoms around it.

This made the damage it inflicted on the king squid increase several times in this instant.

Finally, the king squid's ability to recover could no longer keep up with the damage caused by the Buddha statue.

As time passed, the squid's body began to suffer more and more injuries, until it finally let out a violent wail and its entire body fell to the ground.

This squid is dying.

It struggled to float back into the air from the ground, only to see a giant palm struck it again.

Under the shadow of the palm, the squid soon couldn't even struggle, and there was no movement at all.

"Dead?"

On the west floor of Summer Hill Castle.

Looking at the king squid who fell to the ground and seemed to have lost his voice, Li Zhuo's face showed joy.

It's just that

When he looked back at Xuan Si and the others who had fallen to the ground, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and he stood in place and was silent.

Li Zhuo was stunned, and a retinue around him saw through his thoughts, so he stepped forward and tested the heartbeat of the great Buddhist monks with his hands.

Then he spoke: "My lord, nearly half of these monks have been injured to death. As for the rest of the monks, including the abbot of Xuan Si, they should have fainted to death in pain. ”

Li Zhuo closed his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to look at them anymore: "Take these great Buddhist monks away from Xiashan City, let them cultivate well if they are not dead, and if they are dead, they will be buried alive!" ”

"No!" After the retinue answered, he began to command the nearby monks and take the great Buddhist monks away from the battlefield.

At the same time.

After the death of the king squid, the Gu Immortals all took the initiative to lean towards the west tower of Xiashan City.

Seeing this scene, Li Zhuo and the other monks suddenly felt like they were facing a great enemy, and they made a look of vigilance.

But he saw the leader Gu Immortal speak: "After the death of the Great King Squid, all its flesh and blood will be contaminated and completely infect this area. ”

"So, you unpolluted monks should not be able to stay in Summerhill City any longer."

"So, pick a place." Gu Xian, the leader of the team, continued: "Tomorrow at noon, we will have a competition with the monks of the Great Liang Kingdom. ”

"Ever had a match?" Li Zhuo was stunned when he heard this: "How do you want to compare?" And what are you going to bet on? ”

Team leader Gu Xian said expressionlessly: "The method of the competition is very simple: just draw a ring, and then simply test your fists and feet. ”

"If you die, or if you admit defeat, you're out."

"This competition will last until everyone is defeated and no one dares to come out to fight, and then it will be over."

"Moreover, in this competition, if our Gu Immortals lose, we will no longer drive the fierce beasts to attack the Great Liang Kingdom."

"Then what if our Great Liang Kingdom loses?" Li Zhuo asked.

Gu Xian's face was still expressionless: "If you lose, then naturally the whole country will have to believe in Lord 'Woo'." ”

"At that time, the monks of the entire Great Liang Kingdom must turn to the 'flesh and blood' of the 'Woo' Lord."

"The entire Great Liang Country will be dominated by flesh and blood!"

"Okay, this competition is our big Liang country!" After Li Zhuo responded, he immediately said, "But why do you have to wait until tomorrow to compare?" ”

Team leader Gu Xian said: "Because, I need you to call all the monks who have cultivated above the birth stage in Daliang to the competition venue to watch." ”

"Yes!" Li Zhuo thought for a while and said, "From Xiashan City all the way to the northeast, there is a Cloud City after about five hundred miles. ”

"Tomorrow, we will have a showdown outside that Cloud City!"

"Okay, that's a deal!" Now that the battle location has been decided, Gu Immortal will no longer continue to talk nonsense.

He just said to the rest of the monks: "Remember, if you Liang Kingdom monks fail to make the appointment tomorrow, there will be more fierce beasts that will continue to invade your Great Liang Kingdom!" ”

After dropping these words, the leader Gu Immortal left from the sky with the rest of the people

Less leaning.

Upstairs in Summer Hill Castle.

Looking at the departing backs of the Gu Immortals, Lei Ting couldn't help but ask: "Those Gu Immortals, why didn't they just do it directly, but instead agreed to have a competition tomorrow, is there any explanation in this?" ”

"That's a big deal."

Yun Rusong smiled bitterly: "Although I don't know exactly how those Gu Immortals came from, it is obvious that those Gu Immortals are all subordinates of the indescribable creature 'Woo'. ”

"They're doing things for 'woohoo'."

"Therefore, the purpose of their invasion of the Great Liang Kingdom is nothing more than to spread the doctrine of 'woo' and get more people to believe in 'woo'."

Yun Rusong continued: "To put it more bluntly: those Gu Immortals invaded the Great Liang Kingdom, not to slaughter the people of Dawn, but to enslave all of us. ”

"Therefore, simply using force to make the blood of the Great Liang Kingdom flow into a river will not achieve their true goal."

"What they want is the hearts of the people, and they want to completely crush the spirit and will of all the monks in the Great Liang Kingdom."

"They don't intend to kill, they want to punish their hearts!"

"It is precisely because of this that he asked for a competition tomorrow, and asked that all the monks of the Liang Kingdom go to watch."

"Punish your heart" Thunder suddenly said: "The Gu Immortals' thinking is quite clear!" ”

He then said, "Then since you know their purpose, why did you agree to their fight just now?" ”

"Because I don't have a choice." Yun Rusong smiled bitterly: "What was just in front of us, there were only two choices. ”

"First, let the Gu Immortals continue to drive the fierce beasts to invade the Great Liang Kingdom, and then we, the monks of the Liang Kingdom, will fight to the death with the fierce beasts."

"This is clearly unwise."

"So there's only the second option left - to meet the competition proposed by the Gu Immortals."

"Is it possible that we have a third option?" While Thunder and Yun Rusong were talking, they only heard Zhong Ran say on the side: "Since the Gu Immortals are not trying to kill them all, and they are not trying to kill everyone in our Great Liang Country, then why don't we surrender directly to the Gu Immortals?" ”

"After surrendering, it is nothing more than a change from believing in 'Buddha' to believing in the indescribable creature of 'Woo'."

"It doesn't seem like there's much difference between the two, right?"

"There's a big difference!" Li Zhuo explained: "The indescribable creature 'Buddha' mainly feeds on the 'power of suffering'. ”

"And the emotion of 'pain' is inherently disgusted by human beings."

"It is precisely because of disgust that they do not indulge in it, so the people who believe in 'Buddha' are a minority after all, such as those monks of Great Buddhism."

"But 'woo' is different."

"'Woo' feeds on human desires. And the emotion of desire is naturally pursued by human beings. ”

"Even if there is no 'woo', human beings will try their best to satisfy their own desires, and if they are bewitched by 'woo' again, wouldn't it be completely crazy?"

Li Zhuo gave an example: "If you can't imagine such a consequence, you can refer to the people on the border of Xingzhou for yourself. ”

"They are the first to be affected by the 'whimper' and polluted by the 'power of flesh and blood'."

"They're all crazy"

"It is precisely because desire is difficult to control, and it is precisely because the 'power of flesh and blood' will make people fall into madness, that I arranged the 'Ten Thousand Miles of Spiritual Light Array' to separate the two states of Xingzhou and Leizhou."

"In short, the pollution of 'Woo' is too great, far stronger than the pollution of 'Buddha'."

"So, there is no need to say more about surrender." Li Zhuo turned to say: "The most urgent thing at the moment is to discuss who should fight tomorrow. ”

Yun Rusong thought for a moment and said, "First of all, except for Xuan Si, who has been seriously injured, we five deep diving stage cultivators don't need to say much, they all have to play at that time. ”

"After all, according to the rules, there is no limit to the number of people in this ring competition, so if there are more people, you can play the effect of wheel warfare, even if you go up to consume it, you will not lose it."

"Not bad." Li Zhuo continued: "Except for our five deep diving monks."

As he spoke, he glanced at the late stage cultivators of the Blood Pill who were present: "Fellow Daoists, are there any who volunteer to participate in tomorrow's competition?" ”

"What the Gu Immortal said before, everyone has also heard: during the competition, as long as either side dies or admits defeat, it will be over."

"So, if you're really not an opponent, it's okay to admit defeat."

"I don't ask you to win, I only ask you to go up and consume the physical strength of those Gu Immortals, so it shouldn't be difficult to do, right?"

Below the West Castle Tower of Summer Hill Castle.

When the Blood Pill Stage monks heard this, they all looked at each other and were silent.

Seeing this scene, Li Zhuo said again: "After this competition, I will select five monks who have persevered the longest from all of your Blood Pill Stage monks who have participated in the competition. ”

"At that time, those five people can enter my Great Liang National Secret Treasury to choose a favorite treasure."

In order to dispel the concerns of the Blood Pill Stage cultivators, after Li Zhuo offered the reward, he did not forget to add: "In addition, I am telling you a secret: the secret vault of the Great Liang Kingdom can actually be moved and taken away. ”

"So even if you leave the Great Liang Country, as long as you still follow the big army, you can still enjoy the promise I made."

"How?"

There will be brave men under the great reward.

This time, the monk quickly responded.

In the crowd, Ni Li was the first to speak: "Since this is the case, then tomorrow's competition will be counted as one of me!" ”

As soon as these words came out, another monk followed, "Count me in." ”

"And me!" Po Yazhi also followed.

Cheng Sheng and the others were fighting the king squid in the middle of the night.

After the squid was killed and the Gu Immortals left, everyone discussed the competition with the Gu Immortals for another night, and by dawn most of them were tired.

So in order to recuperate, Li Zhuo ordered all the monks to disperse, and then gathered outside Ruyun City, five hundred miles to the east, after noon.

…

——Three years ago, due to the chaos caused by the little Buddhist monk Wusheng, a 'Buddha egg' appeared in Ruyun City.

Since then, Ruyun City has become an empty city because of pollution.

And no one can enter it again.

Therefore, this competition between the monks of the Liang Kingdom and the Gu Immortals could only be conducted in the open space outside Ruyun City.

Since this competition is only held in the ring, not a real war, there is no giant beast invasion.

Therefore, there are nearly ninety percent of the monks in Daliang who have rushed to the competition venue.

Everyone waited until three o'clock in the afternoon, and then they saw that those Gu Immortals wearing Yin Yang Taiji fish robes also arrived at the competition venue on time.

"Fellow Daoists."

Since it was a competition, it was not time to tear his face, so Li Zhuo politely called the Gu Immortals 'Dao Friends'.

He said, "So, shall we start the competition now?" ”

"There's no hurry."

It was the same Gu Immortal who was the leader last night.

He glanced at the monks who had come to the competition venue and said, "It's only been half a day, and those monks with slower foot strength should not have time to come over, so wait." ”

Li Zhuo's purpose was to delay as much time as possible so that the teleportation array of the Great Liang Kingdom Palace could be completed as soon as possible.

Therefore, seeing that the team leader Gu Immortal had to 'wait a little longer', he naturally couldn't ask for it.

So he responded, "Okay, just wait!" ”
