Li Wei was waiting. Half an hour had passed, and he was like a seasoned hunter.
The spirit beasts and Li family members beside him, under his command, were all anxiously waiting, not daring to make the slightest sound.
"Amitabha."
Master Shancai stood on a golden lotus in mid-air. The golden rings on his staff jingled. Despite fighting for a long time, he remained unscathed, only his aura slightly weakened. He wore a compassionate smile. "You, wicked creature, have harmed countless beings. But my Buddha is merciful. This humble monk understands that your thousand years of cultivation were not easy. Why don't you follow me to Emerald Pines Temple to listen to the Buddhist teachings and cleanse yourself of this wickedness?"
"Do not bring further calamity upon the countless lives in this Silver Iron Forest."
This was the first time Master Shancai had spoken after fighting for so long.
Now he's talking about Buddhist teachings, which only means he's having doubts in his heart. They agreed that the seven great families would gather and, with their combined strength, the Pig Demon King would surely perish. But now, half an hour has passed, and there's no sign of reinforcements.
Although the Demon King is not as strong as him, in a life-or-death battle, Shancai is unwilling to take the risk.
"Hmph!"
The only response to Master Shancai was a cold snort from the Pig Demon King.
Even though it was already covered in wounds, it still carried the demeanor of a Demon King.
In a sudden surge of demonic energy, it realized it was no match for Master Shancai. Prolonging the fight would only lead to its own demise, so it unleashed its full power!
In an instant, the valley shook violently. A dark wind swept through, and massive stone pillars rose around the Pig Demon King within a hundred-meter radius. Carrying the corrosive power of the dark wind, they attacked Master Shancai!
Even its bristles stood on end.
A demonic head phantom materialized amidst the dense, dark clouds in the sky. The demon extended its hand, attempting to seize Master Shancai in its grasp.
"Stubborn fool! Today, the Buddha will not save you. This humble monk will, on behalf of the Buddha, cast you, vile creature, into the eighteen levels of hell, never to be reborn!"
Witnessing this, Master Shancai's expression turned grave.
He knew this was the Pig Demon King's ultimate attack. If he didn't give it his all, his life would be in peril today!
He tossed his Buddhist prayer beads into the air. The eighteen beads shone brilliantly, ascending in a circular formation, dispersing the dark clouds above. It was clearly an extraordinary spiritual weapon.
"Emerald Pines Buddhist teachings, Eternal Golden Pine, Compassionate Vajra, manifest!"
With Master Shancai's angry shout...
The monk's robe, also a spiritual artifact, transformed. The golden trim formed golden vines that extended towards the sky. As they grew, the vines intertwined at a visible speed, forming a radiant golden Arhat Vajra!
Master Shancai's staff floated into the air, growing larger and landing in the Vajra Arhat's hand.
The Arhat's roar echoed throughout the valley, accompanied by the clanging of the rings on the staff.
From an unknown source, the deep sound of a bronze bell resonated.
This Master Shancai, renowned throughout Sky Jade City, truly lived up to his reputation!
Master Shancai had revealed all his trump cards.
He could almost see this stubborn Pig Demon King meeting its demise before the Buddha!
But just at that moment, His expression changed.
"Now's the time!"
A sharp shout echoed from the distance.
Master Shancai saw dozens of spirit beasts charging recklessly into the battlefield, unleashing a torrent of demonic techniques from afar, raining down upon him!
He even saw...
"It's the Li family from the seven great families, and that Violet Tempest Python!"
"Damn it!"
Master Shancai was enraged. He suddenly realized that he had intended to capture a Demon King as a mount or obtain materials for crafting spiritual artifacts, but he had inadvertently stumbled into trouble he shouldn't have gotten involved in!
But he understood that saying anything was useless now.
Even with his profound Buddhist cultivation, he couldn't possibly face the combined might of these fearless spirit beasts and the Pig Demon King.
"Escape!"
Master Shancai used the Vajra Arhat to sweep aside the attacks, blocking the spiritual weapons and attempting to flee.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes.
A giant puppet, with flames erupting from its feet and back, was hurtling towards him at extraordinary speed. This puppet wasn't wielding any weapons but was merely holding...
...a silver coffin?
...
[Mecha Engine consumption has reached 100%... 120%, the body is about to be damaged!]
[Warning! You have entered the attack range of a Golden Core Mid-stage expert!]
[The target is launching an attack on you, detected. Please evade immediately, spiritual power is far exceeding the limit...]
"Screw the limit! Fight!"
Controlling the War Puppet, Li Wei remained perfectly calm amidst the oppressive spiritual energy and the sight of the five-meter-wide palm print unleashed by the golden Arhat behind Master Shancai.
He turned its head and pivoted its body!
The War Puppet narrowly dodged the palm print's attack, but the residual force still managed to sever its right arm and right leg.
The War Puppet could even see the flesh and blood exposed on the one-third of its body that had been shattered!
[The mecha's body is severely damaged. Please leave the battlefield immediately and initiate automatic repair!]
Li Wei ignored the warning.
He knew clearly that if the fat monk didn't die, the Li family's future would be fraught with difficulties!
Compared to the lives of the Li family members, this priceless War Puppet was nothing!
He flew past the palm print, hearing the booming sound behind him.
Master Shancai launched another palm strike towards him.
But this time...
Li Wei didn't dodge.
"I'm counting on you!"
Holding the Heaven-Piercing Coffin in his hands, Li Wei could even feel the coffin trembling as it encountered the Buddhist power!
On the game interface...
[The Heaven-Piercing Coffin's spirit is encountering Buddhist power that it loathes!]
From the moment he arrived on the battlefield, Li Wei had already seen this notification on the game interface.
Moreover, he had long planned to use the Heaven-Piercing Coffin as his trump card.
Otherwise, Li Dalong wouldn't have brought this treasure out!
"The distance is Close enough!"
Seeing that the War Puppet had enough strength to hurl the Heaven-Piercing Coffin at Master Shancai, Li Wei didn't hesitate any longer.
He threw the Heaven-Piercing Coffin towards him!
"This... What is this thing?!?"Master Shancai revealed a look of terror that he hadn't even shown when facing the Pig Demon King's full power.
That silver coffin easily smashed the palm print unleashed by his Vajra Arhat!
Even, as it approached the Vajra Arhat behind him, the Vajra staff couldn't even budge the silver coffin. The coffin deflected the staff, and, under his gaze of despair, slowly opened its lid, revealing a dark void that swallowed the entire Vajra Arhat.
It was like an ancient beast with an insatiable appetite!
At this moment, even Master Shancai, who was using the Arhat's Golden Body, was affected.
The silver coffin radiated fury towards him. The overwhelming pressure from this top-grade spiritual treasure made him unable to stay airborne!
At the same time, The Pig Demon King, the dozens of spirit beasts, and all the Li family members unleashed their techniques and martial arts, raining down upon him!
