Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 126: Chapter 109 Buddha Sound_2

This was still based on the assumption that the opponent was a Loose Cultivator, as sect cultivators possessed a certain level of defense against sound wave attacks.

This was related to experience, for sect cultivators who needed to face Xuanming Sect cultivators had to learn how to cope with sound wave attacks.

Under Han Yu’s leadership, the cultivators drew increasingly closer to Li Shiming, and they were about to enter within a hundred meters.

The chanting from Li Shiming’s mouth suddenly changed in style, as the ‘Life-taking Buddhist Chant’ emerged. This piece of music transformed Buddhist chants into music filled with evil energy, which, coupled with ‘Devil’s Sound in the Ear (Fake)’, further affected the cultivators’ spiritual minds.

The sound was magnificent and righteous, and the words were booming Buddhist prayers. Amidst the sincere praise and prayer, an undeniable evil energy spilled out in abundance.

The valley immediately gave off the sensation of being in Avici Hell, making even Han Yu’s scalp tingle.

At a position a hundred meters from the valley entrance, right at the central point where the sounds of Changshi Valley echoed, the place where Li Shiming chose to stand was deliberate.

The ‘Life-taking Buddhist Chant’, after being echoed by the valley, had its power elevated once again. Even more terrifying was how it perfectly intertwined with the ‘Devil’s Sound in the Ear (Fake)’.

Even Li Shiming had not anticipated this. As the ‘Life-taking Buddhist Chant’ reached its climax, it coincided with the moment the ten cultivators reached the hundred-meter mark.

For a moment, good and evil, Buddha and demon, interlaced beside the ears of the ten cultivators, emitting a temptation to influence the mind, urging them to lay down their butcher knives and instantly become Buddhas.

Li Shiming took out the Spirit Turtle Shield, and although his level of refinement with the Spirit Turtle Shield wasn’t high, he was able to trigger the array on the Spirit Turtle Shield due to his familiarity with the array above.

The hand of spiritual power placed three Spirit Stones behind the Spirit Turtle Shield, and as the array on the Spirit Turtle Shield was activated, a Magic Array Shield enveloped his body.

This Magic Array Shield’s defensive power was comparable to a High Grade Defense Magic Tool; at the very least, it was not something these Loose Cultivators could break through.

The Spirit Turtle Shield was one of his sources of confidence. With this defense, he was almost in an invincible position.

Of the ten cultivators, with the exception of Han Yu and two Qi Refining Fifth Level cultivators, the rest were already influenced by the ‘Life-taking Buddhist Chant’, their spirits so bewildered they could no longer sustain their body-protecting spells.

The two Qi Refining Fifth Level cultivators were only just managing to hold on.

Han Yu really wanted to shout out a warning again, but he was only slightly higher in cultivation level, and his foundation was not much different from the other cultivators; at most, he could only protect himself.

His expression changed for the first time; he felt the huge gap between himself and sect cultivators.

The previous sect cultivators that he encountered might have just been weak within their own sects. But after facing a powerful sect cultivator, the real difference between Loose Cultivators and sect cultivators was clearly demonstrated.

At the same time, Han Yu held resentment towards his own younger brother, Han Tianlei. Did Han Tianlei send them to attack such a sword cultivator, a terrifying sect cultivator, because he wanted to eradicate the Han Family?

Or perhaps Han Tianlei was going to have a major development in the sect and wanted to find someone to clear away past transgressions?

It was not unreasonable for Han Yu to think this way. Once becoming cultivators, internal clan relations often revolved around banding together to obtain greater benefits.

As long as there were sufficient benefits at that moment, many clan cultivators would abandon their clan for their own development.

While Han Yu was influenced by the ‘Life-taking Buddhist Chant’ and his thoughts became chaotic, Li Shiming made his move.

For the first time, Li Shiming actively leaped forward. He hadn’t learned any advanced speed-increasing cultivation techniques, but with a mere hundred meters between them, the ‘Light Body Skill’ was sufficient.

The ‘Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill’ was activated, and Vajra power gathered in his legs, greatly increasing his speed.

In the span of a breath, he closed in to within thirty meters of the ten cultivators; this was the attack range for his ‘Sword Control Technique’.

Han Yu reacted quickly as well. Though affected by the ‘Life-taking Buddhist Chant’, instinctively, he threw out the two prepared Intermediate-level Attack Talismans in his hand.

Li Shiming didn’t even bother to dodge, allowing the Intermediate-level Attack Talismans to hit the Magic Array Shield beside him.

At the same time, the sword light from the Qingyuan Wood Sword crossed through the air with the two talismans, penetrating into the midst of the cultivators’ formation.

Two flashes of fire passed over the shield of the Spirit Turtle Shield, but there was no movement in the shield of the Spirit Turtle Shield.

The Qingyuan Wood Sword is a high-grade attack magic artifact, and even when Loose Cultivators use defensive spells, they’re unable to withstand the attacking power of the Qingyuan Wood Sword combined with the “Sword Control Technique”.

Not to mention, there were seven Loose Cultivators who didn’t even have defenses, the sword light transformed by the Qingyuan Wood Sword moved between cultivators in quick succession, barely using any energy.

Screams merged into a continuous loop as Li Shiming first dealt with the seven defenseless Loose Cultivators.

Despite the seven Loose Cultivators being the weakest, even the lowest among them was at the same Qi Refining Fourth Level as him.

Had he not affect them with the “Devil’s Sound in the Ear (Fake)”, this battle would still have been quite troublesome.

There is a saying that even ants can bite an elephant to death, let alone cultivators of the same realm.

The screams of the seven Loose Cultivators brought some clarity to the two Qi Refining Fifth Level Loose Cultivators. They fully activated their magic artifacts and were about to launch their full power when they were suddenly blinded by a bright flash of light, causing them to lose focus.

This was another feature of the Spirit Turtle Shield, Burst Flash, which emitted a bright flash particularly effective against Qi Refining cultivators.

Because Qi Refining cultivators have yet to form Spiritual Thoughts, all their ranged attacks depended on sight. The sudden Burst Flash caused temporary blindness from the strong light, thus losing the ability to lock onto the attack target.

The true power of the Qingyuan Wood Sword, a top-grade magic artifact, was revealed. The defenses of the two Qi Refining Fifth Level Loose Cultivators failed to hold even for a moment, easily broken by the Qingyuan Wood Sword.

Han Yu was petrified; ten cultivators of the same clan came for an ambush, and after a brief contact, only he was left.

Li Shiming changed the chant from “Life-taking Buddhist Chant” to “Buddhist Light Appears”, and a grand aura pressed towards Han Yu, making his will to fight even more fragile.

The corpses on the ground, the magnificent Buddhist chant, and even the Vajra power within Li Shiming all exuded a Buddhist majesty, like the first rising sun, shattering the last beliefs in Han Yu’s heart.

What made Han Yu lose the will to fight completely was still the Qingyuan Wood Sword, whose sword light emitted a harsh brilliance, flickering around him.

Han Yu’s body suddenly softened, and he, a formidable Qi Refining Sixth Level cultivator, just collapsed in front of Li Shiming, who was at the Qi Refining Fourth Level.

The sword light danced, as Li Shiming used the “Sword Control Technique” to seal off Han Yu’s spiritual power.

“Amitabha!” Just as he restrained Han Yu and stopped chanting “Buddhist Light Appears”, a Buddhist chant came from the sky above.

Li Shiming’s entire body jolted, and the sword light that had taken on a sword body reverted to its sword light state, this time larger and more intense than before.

Whoever could arrive overhead unnoticed possessed strength far surpassing his; if they held hostile intent, then he would have to fight with all his might.

The sword light aimed at the space above his head, where an old monk was sitting on a gourd, smiling down at Li Shiming.

The old monk had no intention of intervening in the matter at hand; the fights between cultivators were complex, and it was hard to clearly define right and wrong.

He was drawn by the Buddhist chant recited by Li Shiming, having arrived at the start of the battle.

He even noticed the Vajra power within Li Shiming; Vajra power and Buddhist chants, if it weren’t for the Sky Sea Sect robe on Li Shiming, he might have mistaken him for a Buddhist sect disciple.

“This poor monk Du Yuan greets the young benefactor!” Old Monk Du Yuan descended from the sky, put away his gourd, and gave a slight Buddhist bow.

“May I know what brings Master Du Yuan? If it’s to save this man, I am willing to hand him over to you!” Li Shiming extinguished the sword light and spoke as he held Han Yu in his hands.

He put away the sword light because there was no need for it anymore.

When Old Monk Du Yuan touched down to the ground, the aura he exuded let Li Shiming know the other’s realm; this person was at least a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

In front of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, regardless of how many methods Li Shiming had, they would appear childish and trivial.

Even if he summoned his clone, there would be no chance of victory; the gap between them was simply too great.

Most importantly, he did not feel any malice from Old Monk Du Yuan. It could be that Du Yuan was good at concealing his intentions, or perhaps he was just casually making conversation.
