Chapter 351: Manipulations of the Teleportation Array

Signing the Life-and-Death Agreement and deciding one’s fate on stage was no joking matter; it was a fight for life and death!

Fa Xin, a disciple from the Great Compassion Temple of the Dragon Hua Sect!

He had always been arrogant, looking down on everyone. However, achieving the rank of the fifteenth true disciple proved that his skills were quite impressive, especially with the two unique techniques of the Dragon Hua Sect that he had mastered to a high level.

“Hahaha, I’ve heard you are the head of the Inner Sect of Haotu Sect. Don’t blame the poor monk for bullying you. In our Buddhist cultivation, reaching the Broken Delusions stage is equivalent to the Condense Essence Stage. As we live in this world, we should embody the fierce Vajra and cut through all troubles. Now, dear little brother of Haotu Sect, you just said you would sign the Life-and-Death Agreement; wouldn’t you shy away from truly acting upon it?”

The disciples of the Dragon Hua Sect roared with laughter upon hearing this.

“Are you sure you want to discuss life and death?” Li Hui stepped forward, his robe billowing, exuding an extraordinary presence.

“Stop the nonsense, just sign the Life-and-Death Agreement.” Fa Xin already prepared the bamboo slip, tossing it across after discarding his brush.

The Life-and-Death Agreement of the Dragon Hua Sect was crafted from bamboo slips, a representation of its long-standing tradition. It clearly stated that one must be careful before signing.

Often, disciples acted on impulse, their heated minds ignoring such reminders. Li Hui caught the bamboo slip and examined it carefully, drawing hisses of disapproval from those nearby. Many disciples of the Dragon Hua Sect jeered, “Tsk, this is what the head of the Inner Sect of Haotu Sect is like? Just a moment ago, he spoke boldly about signing the Life-and-Death Agreement for a duel, but now he’s only looking confused and clueless.”

People came in all types.

These disciples shouted anything rude without restraint, angering Huang Tongliang and the others, but it was futile; after all, this was the territory of the Dragon Hua Sect.

Li Hui nodded; he had to see clearly. If this Life-and-Death Agreement only involved fighting within the Dragon Hua Sect, executing lethal moves would be quite awkward, and he needed to see what techniques were permitted to avoid being put at a disadvantage.

“Alright, I must say your sect’s Life-and-Death Agreement is very well thought out; I admire it!”

After this remark, more jeers followed. The disciples of the Dragon Hua Sect saw him as a mere fool; after all, what chance did an Inner Sect disciple have against a true disciple? It was normal for him to feel scared and postpone.

“Brother, the duel should be between equals!” Yuan Xiao zhuo worried that Li Hui would be at a disadvantage, and Yan Jinglun nodded beside him, saying, “Yes! Although Brother follows the Body Cultivation path and can match many Buddhist cultivation disciples, his opponent is still at a higher rank; they are not easy to handle.”

Li Hui laughed, “No worries!”

With a swish, he signed the Life-and-Death Agreement, and the onlookers immediately cleared out, stepping back far.

Next, the two would engage in battle, determined to use every means at their disposal, with the impact of their battle potentially felt for dozens of miles.

“Hahaha, people say you are arrogant, and you truly are!” Fa Xin radiated bright light and laughed triumphantly, “Remember, you will die by the hand of the fifteenth true disciple of the Dragon Hua Sect.”

With a booming sound, the eyes of the 99% of cultivators present flickered. By the time they focused on Li Hui, he had already appeared beside Fa Xin.

So fast—he was truly capable!

And it was more than just that! Horrifying sword light erupted, glinting with sharp golden edges, causing Fa Xin to retreat repeatedly while golden lines danced around him.

“Fool, this kind of sword light is useless against me! My body is the Great Radiant Glazed Body, and any physical cultivator is like floating clouds before me.” Fa Xin was absolutely confident, for this Great Radiant Glazed Body was one of the two techniques he had mastered.

Li Hui paid no mind. The Azure Sky Jade Symbol Sword was transformed from the Golden Silk Ring Knife and sent into the Azure Sky Rock Worm to refine the talisman formation; its cultivation was still incomplete!

Once the Azure Sky Rock Worm devoured enough Geng Gold and turned it into gold, its power would increase. Right now, facing a formidable cultivator, it was all about luck to strike critical points. Although he pushed the monk back, it hadn’t caused any substantial harm.

If he couldn’t break through the defenses, how could he take a life?

In fact, this was merely a test. Li Hui’s gaze flashed, and with a humming vibration in his hand, the Ideal Body combined with thirty times speed. As the onlookers heard a loud “crack,” they watched in astonishment as their dear Fa Xin exploded into pieces.

“Unimaginable Buddha!” Fa Xin clasped his hands together, his face revealing immense shock and disbelief as the secret Buddhist statue given to him by his master shattered, taking his life.

Li Hui looked back, feeling a twinge of regret.

After spending considerable effort to recharge the Ice Picking Short Sword with heat, it could have delivered a lethal blow to this true disciple monk. Unfortunately, his opponent had brought along a life-saving oddity.

“Outrageous!” Fa Xin exploded with rage, pulling out his golden bowl and throwing it forward.

This was another one of his secret techniques. While the golden bowl was neither a Buddhist artifact nor a Buddha Treasure, it could immobilize a cultivator’s spiritual sense. Given that the mere Inner Sect disciples of the Haotu Sect had yet to reach the Condense Essence Stage, it was impossible for them to cultivate a spiritual sense. How could he not easily seize this little guy? It would surely leave him disoriented!

As Li Hui’s spirit wavered, he felt as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was sinking, as though he had fallen into an abyss from which he could never emerge.

“Hmm? This is a technique for disturbing the spiritual sense and targeting consciousness.”

Perhaps others would have been caught off guard, but with the Jade Heart of the Earth Court curbing him and having practiced the Divine Bird Technique, even without cultivating a trace of spiritual sense, he had laid a solid foundation.

In the heat of battle, life and death were a fleeting moment.

The golden bowl unleashed golden light, enveloping Li Hui. Fa Xin believed he was guaranteed victory, but the next moment, he regretted it. He wanted to use his strongest killing strike, but the consequence of being careless and underestimating the opponent was only one thing: death.

“Bang…” A large head fell to the ground. Even with Fa Xin possessing a Great Radiant Glazed Body, he was powerless to stop the tremendous force that severed his head.

While it may seem long, the two exchanged blows in a flash of lightning; it was merely a brief moment.

“Is he dead?” The disciples of the Dragon Hua Sect stood there dumbfounded as gasps filled the air. When they saw Li Hui advancing, they screamed and scrambled back, fearing that if they hesitated even slightly, they might lose their heads.

Li Hui didn’t take it easy; if he didn’t finish quickly, even a slight delay could turn the tide against him. Fortunately, this monk was careless, quietly using the Five Spirits Transformation Talisman. Fully activating this talisman could move mountains; ripping off a head should be easy, but it would also consume a lot of energy.

In that brief instant, Li Hui’s profound qi was completely exhausted. If someone chose that moment to strike, he wasn’t without a way to fight back, but he was unlikely to escape a fatal blow.

“Ah! He killed our true disciple of the Dragon Hua Sect!” someone shouted in alarm, but most of the disciples remained indifferent.

Signing the Life-and-Death Agreement meant that dying showed a lack of skill; it was unreasonable to cause trouble anywhere! They should actually be grateful for not having acted recklessly to become the first victim; otherwise, several heads might not be enough for him to take.

“Let’s go!” Li Hui commanded, and Huang Tongliang and the others swiftly filed out, leaping quickly into the distance.

This place was no longer safe; the mountain gate of the Dragon Hua Sect was nearby. They had only come here to use the path to the Great Xia, of course. They wouldn’t be able to reach the Great Xia directly, but they could get to the vassal state of Dajin, which was close to the Great Xia.

The roads were clear until they reached the teleportation array, but Li Hui felt like he had overlooked something.

“Something isn’t right; Cheng Hong hasn’t shown up, yet a monk jumps out. This is clearly a delay; he must be causing trouble in the shadows.”

“Boom…” The teleportation array erupted with light patterns as Jing Tian Tong shouted, “Not right, someone has altered the coordinates. Where is this teleporting us to?”
