This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 649 The Image of Buddha
Outside the city of Vajra, the earth resembled shattered glass, riddled with cracks and containing several bottomless pits.

After Li Fei forcefully killed Zhenhe Tianwang, the Buddhist group of powerful figures and thousands of monks completely collapsed.

Even the most devout believers lost their will to resist at this moment, sitting down to chant scriptures and await death.

The Imperial Guard, on the verge of collapse, reorganized its formation and cleaned up the battlefield.

On the other side, among the powerful figures of the Buddhist sect, some chose to flee, while others gave up resistance.

Several Arhats who were trying to escape had only flown a few hundred meters when they were blasted apart by sword energy that suddenly burst out from the void, turning into a rain of blood!
Seeing this, the temple's guardian deities completely abandoned any thought of escaping.

Jinglian, holding a vajra pestle, stood on a hillside.

He just killed two university presidents and seven martial arts masters, and almost single-handedly crushed a group of powerful figures from the Great Blue Dynasty!
But at this moment, this Buddhist prince-level expert was utterly devastated.

He did not despair when Buddha-Eye Heavenly King died, nor when River-Suppressing Heavenly King died, but when he saw Jingheng dispel the Great Sun Tathagata Vajra Nirvana Formation, he despaired!
Because he knew that this meant the Buddhist leader had chosen to give up.

They seized control of the Great Blue Dynasty and attempted to transform it into a Buddhist kingdom.

To establish the Western Extremity Kingdom and continue the confrontation with the Great Blue Dynasty.

During this process, Jinglian watched as her most prized disciple, Wuche, sacrificed himself, and as Mingqi, the most talented and promising disciple in Buddhism for thousands of years, sacrificed himself.

He felt immense grief and anger, but he endured it all.

Because he believed that Jingheng, the Buddha of this era, was right, and that the other party would eventually lead Buddhism to glory and achieve everyone's vision!
However, Jingheng voluntarily gave up.
"Before descending into the womb of the divine mother, she was born from her right side, her radiant light shining brightly in all directions; and those who practice the Bodhisattva path and cultivate the Bodhisattva practices are called Lesser Bodhisattvas."

On the hillside, Jinglian sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and recited the scriptures he had learned when he first entered the temple to cultivate.

As the scriptures were recited, red lotus flames rose from the ground, igniting the robe on Jinglian's body.

Peng——

Jinglian was completely enveloped in karmic fire, ignited, and turned to ashes!

This Buddhist prince-level expert chose to end his own life.

Li Fei fell from the sky without looking at the burning red lotus karmic fire.

When he killed Zhenhe Tianwang, Xuchi Han, who was hiding in the void, left silently.

He doesn't have time to deal with this temporarily betrayed ally.

Upon arriving beside Ning Qingman, Li Fei immediately began refining his own Qi to heal her injuries.

Having achieved his fifth Dao-attaining peak through the Dao of 'Peace and Tranquility Under Heaven,' and officially concluding his journey of attaining Dao, Li Fei's personal fortune has reached an unprecedented peak!
Becoming a top-tier expert will automatically gather the fortune of heaven and earth within you, and will also bring a fortune bonus to your own faction.

Li Fei reached the pinnacle of his abilities five times, accumulating five periods of fortune in the process!

Of course, because his four attempts at enlightenment were not complete and did not fully manifest the Dao, the fortune accumulated from these four attempts was not a complete peak fortune.

However, after Li Feisheng succeeded in proving his Dao by attempting the Dao multiple times, and finally succeeded in proving it with the Dao of "pacifying the world," he also received a feedback from the national fortune of the Great Blue Dynasty.

Furthermore, the cultivation record that Ming Qi had just broken was broken by him once again—

The Martial Saint and True Lord are 23 years old!
Li Fei also received the same blessing of fortune that Ming Qi had previously received, and even more than Ming Qi.

Therefore, even if Li Fei's personal luck is not five times that of an ordinary top expert, it is not much different!
Using a portion of his fortune to heal Ning Qingman and Wenren Zheng was no big deal for Li Fei; he didn't feel the slightest bit of heartache.

"congratulations."

Ning Qingman let Li Fei use his inner energy to heal her injuries, and simply smiled and looked at Li Fei.

Li Fei looked into her eyes, and a smile appeared on his face:
"I will do what I say!"

Ning Qingman's eyes flickered, but this time, she did not avoid Li Fei's gaze.

He said he wanted to travel the world with her from now on.

He said he would protect her from now on.

Ning Qingman had a lot to say, but after looking around, she said to Li Fei:
"There's plenty of time later, go and do your thing first."

In just a short while, Ning Qingman's injuries had healed.

Of course, the real key is the injury at the Dao level, which has already been stabilized under Li Fei's treatment, and his realm and combat power will not be affected.

For Li Fei to fully recover, he will need to continue treatment, but that's only a matter of time.

"it is good."

Li Fei knew this was not the time for sentimentality. His gaze swept across the battlefield, and seeing that the situation was completely under the control of the Great Blue Dynasty, he issued the order:
"Take all enemies into custody; anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

"The White Flame Army immediately took control of Vajra City."

"Bring out all the healing pills in the city and prioritize treating the wounded."

After saying this, he nodded to Ning Qingman and then rushed towards Taiyu, who was not far away.

"Master Taiyu, thank you for your help!"

Li Fei approached Tai Yu and bowed with clasped hands.

Taiyu looked at Li Fei with a complex expression, feeling both joy at having made the right choice and awe at Li Fei's attainment of enlightenment.

There's also a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including a touch of sadness or regret) that the older generation is being overtaken by the younger generation.

He is ranked fourth in the world, and there is only a slight difference between him and the third-ranked Zhenhe Tianwang.

Originally, I thought that even if Li Fei broke through to the top one day, he wouldn't be able to catch up with me immediately.

Unexpectedly, Li Fei not only surpassed him, but also surpassed everyone except Lin Tianyi!

This can no longer be described simply as "the younger generation is formidable." Taiyu even felt that he had cultivated for over a hundred years in vain.
I hope you will remember your promise.

Taiyu said to Li Fei.

Li Fei said solemnly, "Don't worry, I always keep my word!"

Taiyu smiled and said, "The Duke of Jing'an has important matters to attend to, so you don't need to worry about me. I'll return to the Daluo Sect now and wait for your good news."

Li Fei looked at him and said, "The Buddhist and Taoist sects have been fighting for so many years. Doesn't Master Taiyu want to see the final fate of Pudu Temple?"

Taiyu was taken aback and remained silent for a moment:
"Alright."

Buddhist Capital.

After Jingheng absorbed the Great Sun Tathagata Vajra Nirvana Formation and chose to escape, the Sky Blue Iron Cavalry successfully stormed into the Buddhist capital.

Without receiving further orders, the Sky Blue Iron Cavalry did not go on a killing spree, but simply took control of the capital, sealed off all entrances and exits, and did not let anyone escape.

At the summit of Pudu Mountain, the howling wind swept through the eaves of the ancient temple, sounding like a mournful lament.

Night falls, and the stars and moon are dim.

Inside the main hall, thousands of eternal lamps flickered, casting distorted and swaying shadows on the enormous Buddha statue.

The gilded Buddha statue in the very center has lowered eyes and a compassionate face that appears and disappears in the flickering firelight, seemingly sorrowful and pitying.

The golden throne beneath the Buddha statue sits high above, with hundreds of white marble steps laid out solemnly below it.

King Qin Zihong of the Western Kingdom sat slumped on his throne, his dragon robe, embroidered with Sanskrit characters, stained dark with blood.

Coughs echoed through the empty hall, and blood trickled down the dragon pattern from the corner of his mouth, blooming into a shocking blood flower on his clothes.

As the ruler of the Western Extremity Kingdom, he inevitably suffered a severe backlash when the kingdom's fate completely collapsed, and he was already seriously injured!
In fact, this was also the reason why Jingheng agreed to his proposal and made him the ruler of the Western Regions.

If things go wrong one day, Qin Zihong will be the biggest 'pot' to take the fall, able to absorb most of the backlash from the bad luck!

Qin Zihong's greatest value lies in stepping forward to take the blame and shield others from trouble.

Qin Zihong himself was well aware of this, but he still chose to take this step.

Because this is his only way forward.

He would rather die sitting on the throne than slowly wither away in this ancient temple!
Jing Heng ran away without even informing Qin Zihong before leaving.

Even now, no one has come to tell Qin Zihong what's going on outside.

This shows how ridiculous his position as the ruler of the Western Regions was.

"Haha, hahahahahaha—"

On the throne, Qin Zihong burst into laughter, laughing until tears streamed down his face.

"Someone, bring me wine!"

"Play music for me!"

"Guards! Hahahaha! Guards! I have an imperial decree to issue! Hahahahaha—"

The shouts of the Western Kingdom's ruler echoed in the empty hall, but apart from the howling wind, there was no response.

The candlelight projected his frenzied figure onto the cold wall, like an absurd shadow play.

When Li Fei entered the main hall, this was the scene he saw—

Qin Zihong, dressed in a blood-stained dragon robe and wearing a crown, sat on a high throne, laughing loudly while spitting out blood.

The flickering candlelight cast an uncertain glow on his face, and the beaded curtains on his crown rustled with his movements.

Seeing Li Fei enter the main hall, Qin Zihong stopped laughing, leaned forward, and looked at him carefully:
"Who are you? Why do you not kneel before me?"

Li Fei stared expressionlessly at the 'eldest prince' on the throne.

He came to Pudu Temple with Wenren Zheng and Taiyu.

Wenren Zheng chose to spend the whole day outside collecting Blue Iron Cavalry, and Taiyu did not enter Pudu Temple with him, but waited at the foot of the mountain.

In the end, only Li Fei entered the temple.

The two great Buddhist kings died at his hands, Qin Mingli also died, and Jing Heng escaped.

All the top Buddhist masters either died or surrendered outside Vajra City.

The Vajra Nirvana Array of the Great Sun Tathagata was not activated at all without anyone in charge.

Therefore, this Buddhist holy site is now completely undefended for Li Fei.

He moved with ease, arriving at Qin Zihong's location first, guided by the flow of fortune.

"Be bold!"

Qin Zihong, sitting on the throne, flew into a rage when Li Fei did not answer:
"I'm asking you a question, didn't you hear me?!"

"Qin Zihong".

Li Fei's voice was like a sharp sword, piercing the other person's mind and restoring a sliver of clarity to their eyes:
"I will make you kneel before the late emperor's tomb and be executed!"

Upon hearing the words "the late emperor," Qin Zihong, who had fallen into madness, briefly regained his senses.

"The late emperor? Father!"

"Father!" Qin Zihong rose from his throne, tears streaming down his face. "Hahahaha, fine, then send me to see Father! Hahahahaha—"

boom!
With a loud crash, Qin Zihong was suddenly pulled down from the hundreds of steps by a tremendous force.

The dragon robe was torn, and the crown fell off, making a dull thud on the white marble steps!
Li Fei didn't look at Qin Zihong again, and turned to walk out of the main hall.

As he stepped out of the main hall, the golden Buddha statue in the center of the hall was sliced ​​into pieces by sword energy!

"Both Buddha-Eye Heavenly King and River-Suppressing Heavenly King are dead!"

"Jingheng has fled; the Western Kingdom will cease to exist!"

"Within a quarter of an hour, everyone in the temple came down the mountain and surrendered."

"A quarter of an hour later, everyone who remained in the temple was dead—"

Li Fei's voice resounded throughout the entire Pudu Temple.

He did not choose to exterminate them all, but instead gave the remaining people a choice.

Those who are unwilling to perish with Pudu Temple should descend the mountain and surrender.

Those who refuse to surrender are a threat if left alive, and Li Fei will not hesitate to kill them!
If Jingheng, the Buddhist leader of his time, had not chosen to flee, but instead led the monks of the temple to fight to the death.

Therefore, at least 70% of the people in Pudu Temple would choose to fight alongside Jingheng to the death!
But Jingheng actually chose to run away.

This escape has caused the faith of countless devout believers to crumble and their hearts to despair!

So after Li Fei issued his final ultimatum, a large number of monks chose to flee Pudu Temple and head down the mountain.

There, a renowned figure was waiting for them with over two thousand Sky Blue Iron Cavalry.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly.

Sword energies shot out from the void, killing the monks who remained in the temple without making a move.

After breaking through to the next realm, Li Fei's flying sword body became his natal magic weapon, undergoing a qualitative change—

If a flying sword becomes one's natal magic weapon, then flying on the sword to kill an enemy from tens of thousands of meters away is no longer a difficult task.

Now, Li Fei's perception range extends for hundreds of miles, encompassing the area affected by his magic!

One of the effects of the "Unique Method" is 'wherever the technique reaches, the power extends'.

Therefore, within a radius of a hundred miles, as long as Li Fei is willing, he can unleash all of his power without missing a single bit!

The biggest difference between a Martial Saint and a True Lord lies in their attack range and combat style.

But Li Fei completely broke down this barrier!

Even if a martial saint fought him, tens of thousands of meters away, not even knowing where he was, he would be forced to take the hits. He thought that once he got close, he could fight back, but once he was close, he would find that the real nightmare had only just begun.
When a True Lord fights him, once his location is discovered, even if they are tens of thousands of meters apart, it's as if a Martial Saint is right next to him!
At this moment, the entire Pudu Temple was within Li Fei's perception range, and his attacks could accurately land on any point within the temple.

No one could withstand a single blow.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and Li Fei had killed all the monks in Pudu Temple who had chosen not to leave!
Subsequently, more than two thousand Sky Blue Iron Cavalrymen entered the temple and began to plunder its wealth and resources.

Pudu Temple has a history of over a thousand years, and the wealth and resources it has accumulated are truly astonishing!

More than two thousand martial artists worked from night until the next morning before they managed to loot the area where the main buildings of the temple were located.

Gold and silver treasures, cultivation elixirs, scriptures and secret manuals, exotic weapons and armor—piled up like mountains!

There are also several exotic beast breeding farms, elixir planting bases, iron smelting workshops, alchemy rooms, and secret storage rooms on the outskirts.
These places cannot be moved, and it would be a great pity to destroy them, so Li Fei simply ordered them to be sealed up.

"Duke, Grand Marshal, I've found him!"

Inside a grand hall, Li Fei and Wenren were waiting.

Li Fei is treating Wenren Zheng's injuries.

A middle-aged man ran excitedly into the main hall.

He was a member of the Righteous Dharma Pavilion, a true master of the time, and participated in the battle outside Vajra City.

After the battle, he was summoned to Pudu Temple because he was skilled in the art of finding hidden treasures.

Li Fei instructed him to thoroughly search the Pudu Temple to see if he could find any hidden places.

As a sect with a history spanning thousands of years, Li Fei felt that there must be many secrets here.

Although he could perceive the entire temple, just like looking down from the sky or observing up close, he couldn't perceive many details at the same time.

Therefore, it requires professionals to investigate slowly.

Sure enough, after searching all night, this real person found a hidden place!
"Let's go, lead the way."

Li Fei stopped what he was doing abruptly, got up, and walked outside.

Wenren was with him.

The three of them soon arrived at another grand hall.

"Duke, Grand Marshal, this hall is Jingheng's place of cultivation, so I focused my attention here. I have found a secret passage!"

The True Person of the Righteous Dharma Pavilion, somewhat excited, led Li Fei and Wenren Zheng into the hall, pointing to an entrance to an opened underground passage:

"This is it! It's hidden by an array and extremely difficult to find, but I still managed to find it!"

"Thanks for your hard work."

Li Fei smiled and nodded at the other person, then exchanged a glance with Wenren Zheng before the two of them jumped into the underground passage together.

The passage was not long, and at the end of it was a magic array, nothing else.

Wenren turned his head to look at Li Fei.

He was skilled in fighting and killing, but knew nothing about battle formations.

Li Fei: "It's a teleportation array."

Buddhism has a famous supernatural power called "divine foot power," which can be used to construct teleportation arrays.

However, this magic array cannot be used by people who do not possess the supernatural ability of teleportation, making it somewhat useless.

"This formation is 'locked', a very clever method. If you try to force it, it will only destroy the formation."

Li Fei said.

Wenren looked at him and asked, "Can you solve this?"

If it were before breaking through to the next realm, Li Fei definitely wouldn't have been able to solve it.

Even if a True Lord were to come, unless it were the resurrected Xuanxin True Lord, the best formation master in the world, it would be very difficult for anyone else to break the spell.

However, after Li Fei attained enlightenment through the unity of magic and martial arts, all his supernatural abilities were perfectly integrated and became one. The [Distanceless] supernatural ability had many more variations, which improved his mastery of the Dao of Void by more than one level!
In addition, he also proved his Dao through the Dao of Qi and Destiny.

Everything related to luck can be categorized under this principle.

Li Fei already possesses the basic ability to break formations; with just a bit of luck, he has a chance to break them in a short time!
Without hesitation, he used the [Object Refining] divine power to refine his own fortune and began to try to break the teleportation array in front of him.

Soon, he sensed a trace of Jingheng's fortune within it.

"Did Jingheng activate this formation before he left?"

Thinking of this, Li Fei became even more determined to break the formation.

A moment later, the teleportation array inside the passage lit up.

"It's done!"

Li Fei said to Wenren Zheng, "This teleportation array leads to a place deep underground."

Wenren Zheng: "You want to go take a look?"

Li Fei nodded: "Jing Heng may have used this formation before he left."

Wenren Zheng: "Be careful."

Although Jingheng may no longer be a match for Li Fei, the Buddhist tradition has a thousand-year history and may possess some methods left by the Buddha, so Wenren Zheng dares not underestimate him.

"rest assured."

Li Fei nodded, stepped onto the teleportation array, and disappeared in the dazzling light.

The next moment, he appeared in a cramped, secret room.

The secret room was very small, containing only a Buddha statue and a stone table, nothing else.

Li Fei looked at the Buddha statue, which was very similar to the Buddha statue enshrined in the main hall outside; it was also a statue of the Buddha.

This Buddha statue, however, looks more lifelike and has a more Zen-like quality.

The Buddha stood before Li Fei with a smile on his face and compassionate eyes, his left hand forming a flower mudra.

Li Fei looked down at the stone table in front of the Buddha statue. His intuition told him that there should have been something on it, but now it was empty.

"Jingheng came here before he left just to take away the things enshrined on this stone table?"

Li Fei had some guesses in his mind.

He looked at the Buddha statue again and sensed the power of the Dao in it.

This is the power of the Buddha's words!

Jingheng must have recited sutras in the form of Buddhist teachings many times before this Buddha statue, imbuing it with the power of the Dao.

In Li Fei's perception, the "Buddha's words" were almost completely integrated with the Buddha statue. To explore the secrets of this Buddha statue, he had to first break through the "Buddha's words".

However, if the Buddha's words are broken, the Buddha statue will vanish along with the Buddha's words.

One way to resolve this is to have Ning Qingman use her sword to gradually remove the Buddhist inscriptions from the Buddha statue without harming the statue itself.

Alternatively, if Yun Shu were to be resurrected and allowed to completely decipher the Buddha's words through analysis, that would also be a solution.

However, for Li Fei now, there is an even simpler and faster solution—

[I alone have my own law!]
A powerful force of Dao principles surged from Li Fei's body, filling the secret room.

Within ten feet, all laws are empty.

In the blink of an eye, the Buddhist sayings wrapped around the Buddha statue turned to ashes, like hemp ropes scorched by flames!

[The Buddha said] "Go away completely, and the image of the Buddha will remain unharmed."

Li Fei looked at the Buddha statue again—

Sure enough, something was hidden inside.
