Chapter 85: Chaotic Battle Situation
The Lei family and the Liu family had always shared a great deal of enmity.
Now that the Liu family's old master was on the verge of death, they could no longer wait!
The moment Old Master Liu passed away, they would waste no time in carving up the Liu family—a juicy piece of meat delivered right to their mouths!
Once the Liu family was annexed, the ambitions of the Lei family's Patriarch, Lei Wanjun, would be fulfilled.
By combining the resources of the two great families, the Lei family's power would soar, making them the strongest force in Lei Province!
Not even the Vajra Temple or the provincial government would necessarily be their match!
"Slaying demons and devils is the responsibility of us Monks of the Vajra Temple!"
"If you of the Liu family dare to collude with the Demon Dao, then don't blame us for being merciless!"
From the Vajra Temple's ranks, the sole War Buddha's sharp gaze swept across the members of the Demon Dao and the Liu family.
Behind him, a group of Monks radiated killing intent. Their auras surged, looking as if they were ready to attack at any moment.
The situation was crystal clear.
The Demon Dao and the Liu family were clearly at a disadvantage.
Once the War Buddha combined his power with that of the other Monks to activate the Holy Light Demon-Destruction Array, no Cultivator below the Primordial Mansion Realm could possibly withstand their assault.
And that wasn't even counting the Lei family's assistance!
The Vajra Temple and the Lei family were both powerful forces standing at the very pinnacle of Lei Province.
Once they joined forces, unless the provincial government intervened, it was feared that no other power could stand against them!
The members of the Lei family watched the Demon Dao and Liu family with mocking eyes, completely unconcerned.
The strongest Elder on the Demon Dao's side was merely at the Third Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm. Any Elder from the Lei family could easily crush the Demon Dao.
'These people are no match for us; they pose no threat at all.'
"Activate the array!"
"Today, before everyone's eyes, the Vajra Temple shall eradicate this evil!!!"
With a sharp cry from the War Buddha, a faint golden light emanated from all the Monks.
A Pentagram pattern emerged as the Holy Light Demon-Destruction Array was instantly activated. A terrifying power rippled through the air, seeming capable of destroying heaven and earth, striking awe into all who witnessed it.
Watching this scene, the crowd retreated in terror.
'The climactic battle above has yet to conclude, and now the major powers below are already eager to start another fight?'
However, just as the War Buddha was about to fully activate the Holy Light Demon-Destruction Array and completely annihilate the members of the Demon Dao…
A flash of a saber suddenly appeared out of thin air!
The onlookers saw only a blur, and then the light of the Holy Light Demon-Destruction Array rapidly dimmed.
Many had not even had time to react. It was only when they noticed the looks of utter terror on the Monks' faces that they began to see what had happened.
The War Buddha, whose aura was immense and whose power had reached the Ninth Layer Peak of the Spirit Sea Realm…
...was now decapitated, his death a ghastly sight!
Blood gushed out like a spring, staining the ground red. The faint scent of blood drifted into the air, and everyone was stunned by the scene before them.
An expert at the Ninth Layer Peak of the Spirit Sea Realm was practically invincible in any battle below the Primordial Mansion Realm.
'How could he have died so miserably?'
'Could a Primordial Mansion Realm expert have intervened?'
As the crowd watched in shock and uncertainty, an aged figure appeared before the Demon Dao's ranks, though no one knew when he had arrived.
He was currently lifting a wine gourd, drinking with gusto. A faint glint of blood seemed to linger on the large saber in his hand!
"Supreme Elder!"
Wushan Old Ghost and the others bowed deeply.
"Is that Luo Sandao?"
Some of the veteran experts in the crowd now recognized Luo Sandao's identity, and their expressions instantly changed.
Luo Sandao had once made a great name for himself in Lei Province, but he later vanished without a trace, leading many to believe he had died.
No one had expected him to reappear now among the ranks of the Demon Dao!
What's more, he had felled a War Buddha with a single slash—his strength was astonishing!
Gazing at the aged figure before him, Lei Wanjun couldn't help but frown.
He felt an intense threat emanating from the man!
'This old man, who appears to have an ordinary aura, is very likely a Primordial Mansion Realm Great Power who has concealed his true strength!'
The death of the War Buddha offered a terrifying glimpse into the man's power—just the tip of the iceberg!
The members of the Nine Nether Sect exchanged glances and immediately fell silent.
They had originally only planned on hunting down Mu Shanhong.
But now that a suspected Primordial Mansion Realm Cultivator had appeared for the Demon Dao, this was no longer a battle they could interfere in.
"Slaying demons and devils? You're not afraid of making people laugh when you say that!"
Luo Sandao slowly lowered his wine gourd, looking mockingly at the group of Vajra Temple Monks, who had already been scared out of their wits.
"Not long ago, your esteemed Abbot personally slaughtered an entire family. His methods were a thousand times more ruthless than anyone from the Demon Dao!"
"And at a time like this, you still have the gall to talk about slaying demons and devils? Isn't your Abbot the biggest devil of them all?"
Upon hearing this, many people secretly nodded, finding his words quite reasonable.
The Abbot's annihilation of the Li family was an act that had appalled many.
No one knew why the Abbot, as the leader of Lei Province's Righteous Dao, would commit such an inhuman atrocity.
Even the members of the Lei family fell silent.
Hearing this, several Monks retorted with righteous indignation, "What do you know? For the Abbot to have taken such drastic action, the Li family must have brought death upon themselves!"
"How could the likes of you possibly fathom the Abbot's thoughts?"
In their eyes, the Abbot was a supreme being.
They would obey all of the Abbot's commands without question.
Their reverence for the Abbot had already reached a fanatical, even pathological, level!
WHOOSH!
A flash of saber light shot out at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
The few Monks who had just spoken out met the same fate as the War Buddha—their heads hit the ground, and they died on the spot!
A large pool of blood spread out. The thick, pungent stench of blood rose from the Vajra Temple's ranks!
'This guy… he's a devil who kills without batting an eye!'
The remaining Monks were terrified into silence, not daring to speak another word.
Without their Abbot and the War Buddha present, it was as if they had lost their backbone, left to be bullied by others.
As members of the Vajra Temple, when had they ever suffered such humiliation?
They could only hope that the Abbot would end his battle quickly and return to seek justice for them.
"Weren't you just admiring your Abbot?"
"I'm calling your esteemed Abbot a vile hypocrite. Why don't you dare to refute me now?"
Luo Sandao sneered, his eyes filled with contempt.
As the former Supreme Elder of the Luoyun Sect, he saw these so-called figures of the Righteous Dao for what they truly were.
He understood all too well the cruel things these people were capable of for their own benefit.
'Calling themselves the Righteous Dao and suppressing the Demon Dao?'
'It's absolutely ridiculous!'
Hearing this, the Monks were filled with fury but dared not speak.
Luo Sandao's methods had completely intimidated them.
