I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Lin Yi couldn't help but glance at him in surprise. It was a Taoist priest, dressed in a very ordinary Taoist robe, who hadn't offered any price until now.

Were the emperor's women really that attractive?

Lin Yi shook his head. While everyone was still shocked by this extravagant spending, Lin Yi suddenly leaped to the front of the stage.

The guests were all dumbfounded. Who was this hothead who dared to cause trouble here?

Don't want to live anymore?

The way people looked at Lin Yi was not out of fear, but out of bewilderment at the intellectually disabled, and a hint of schadenfreude.

It's almost over, so watching the excitement is a great idea.

The middle-aged auctioneer's smile also stiffened, and he said, "Fellow Daoist, you are not allowed to go on stage during the auction. Please go back and sit down."

Lin Yi stared at him coldly, then suddenly raised his hand and unleashed several sword strikes.

Bystanders only saw a flash of sword light before the middle-aged auctioneer shattered into several pieces.

He flipped through the Demon-Slaying Manual and gained two hundred years of cultivation.

It was just a little demon, skilled at using bewitching methods, which Lin Yi easily eliminated with a wave of his hand.

"hiss……"

When Lin Yi came on stage, everyone felt something was wrong, but they didn't expect that someone would actually dare to make a move!

"I have only one sentence to say to everyone here: Everyone must die!"

There were at least a thousand people in the audience, including demons, monsters, and cultivators of all kinds, all of whom were stunned by what they heard.

Where did this hothead come from?

The first to react were the heads of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce, the organizers. How could such an auction be held without someone to keep things under control? Immediately, powerful figures appeared from all four directions.

There happened to be one demon and one monster, and apart from the ghost, their cultivation levels were all over 1,500 but not yet 2,500.

That's true, how could one so easily find a demon king to be a henchman?

Lin Yi smiled slightly and thanked the Chamber of Commerce for the gift. He really liked this upgrade package.

"Charge!"

Surrounding Lin Yi were not four demons and monsters, but also a formation master, a second-grade expert.

However, his edict had no effect other than exposing himself.

Lin Yi is both arrogant and steady. Even if he uses his 5,500 years of cultivation to bully demons and monsters below the first rank, he will make thorough preparations.

Lin Yi placed his own talismans on all the formations, and with the combination of numerous talismans, he easily suppressed the formations here.

"Those who practice the laws of the human race and aid demons in their evil deeds deserve to be punished!"

Lin Yi raised his hand and unleashed a golden light, and a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, instantly turning the array master into charred remains.

The power of this thunder talisman immediately terrified the demons present, causing them to tremble.

The four demons and monsters that had formed a surrounding formation also stopped abruptly. This was an effect that only a first-grade cultivator could create.

Are they surrounding a first-rank official?

Who gave them the courage?

Realizing something was wrong, the four demons and monsters unanimously decided to run away.

Lin Yi didn't stop them. He didn't use any large-scale restrictive spells, as there were so many monsters here, and any of them could escape.

Therefore, he didn't mind letting the monster run around a little longer; he wanted to level up his cultivation to six thousand years first.

When Lin Yi killed the formation master, those present finally realized that although he might be a hothead, he did indeed have the ability to kill.

When did such a young first-rank expert suddenly appear in the mortal world?

Wouldn't that scare the demon to death?

Screams erupted everywhere as both demons and humans fled in chaos toward the exit.

Lin Yi casually stood on a cage and kept casting runes.

Each strike could kill a monster, allowing his cultivation to slowly increase.

5603, 5670, 5780...

Lin Yi spared no demon or monster, big or small, reaping a life with a mere wave of his hand, truly like a god of death descending to earth.

Finally, the fluctuation of his cultivation level stopped at 5999 and ceased to change.

"It's time to collect the big gift..."

Lin Yi watched the demons fleeing in all directions, but did not rush to pursue them.

Don't worry, none of them will escape. He'll go get a big gift first, then he'll chase them one by one later.

Just as Lin Yi was wreaking havoc, a loud Buddhist chant suddenly rang out...

Chapter 353 Which Immortal Are You, Fellow Daoist?

"Amitabha……"

With just a single Buddhist chant, it seemed to possess boundless and profound power. The flames ignited by the lightning Lin Yi unleashed were completely extinguished, and the demons and monsters who had been terrified by the divine might and fled in panic also regained their composure.

Ironically, the Buddhist community in China emphasizes compassion, but also has fierce and wrathful deities, often suppressing and converting demons and monsters. Yet today, the power of this Buddhist chant did not harm the demons in the slightest, but instead diminished Lin Yi's righteous and masculine spirit.

The fact that the opponent could use masculine strength without diminishing feminine energy, and control every bit of their power with exquisite precision, demonstrates their profound level of skill.

Before even seeing him, they heard his voice, which immediately put them ahead of Lin Yi. The panicked and terrified crowd calmed down and all looked at the big monk who had appeared in the center of the crowd at some unknown time.

The senior monk had a handsome face and looked quite young. He wore a spotless white robe with a red lotus painted between his eyebrows. His appearance was dignified yet slightly alluring.

Among the crowd, some knowledgeable people immediately recognized the monk's name.

"It is the Moon-White Light Buddha!"

"The Buddha of Light has arrived! We are saved!"

"..."

Lin Yi was momentarily taken aback by the joyful shouts.

The scene made it seem as if he had become a ruthless demon, while a virtuous monk who suppressed evil had appeared on the other side.

That's ridiculous.

Lin Yi's gaze toward the so-called Buddha of Light was extremely solemn.

You really shouldn't set ambitious goals for yourself.

Especially him, all along the way, the good things didn't come true but the bad things did.

This monk's cultivation level was indeed not weak, and since he was a human, Lin Yi couldn't determine exactly how high his cultivation level was.

He might be called a Buddha, so how could he be a simple person?

As far as Lin Yi knew, no monks had the nickname "Buddha." Only some ignorant martial artists, or even low-level characters, dared to give themselves the name "Buddha." It sounded scary, but to those in the know, it was incredibly foolish.

The monk in front of me is definitely not a fool; he must be a master.

"Monk, are you trying to ruin my plans?"

Uh, this makes him look even more like a villain.

The Buddha of Moonlight and Light, holding a Buddhist salute in his left hand and a staff in his right, said gently, "Your heart is too heavy with killing intent. The Buddha is merciful and wishes to guide you out of your demonic obstacles."

That makes perfect sense; the more people Lin Yi kills, the stronger his bloodlust becomes.

Because no matter how many demons and monsters he kills, he can never completely eradicate them.

He could only use his own sword, killing as many as he saw, sparing no one.

As long as he lives long enough, and continues killing day after day, there will eventually be a day when the world is clear and peaceful.

The monk's claim that he was bloodthirsty was not an insult, because he truly had the ruthlessness to kill all the evil people in the world.

It includes not only ghosts and monsters, but also evil people.

With such cultivation and such conviction, how could one not be filled with murderous intent?

The Moonlight Buddha, having lived for so many years, had never seen a cultivator with such a strong desire to kill. Therefore, his attack was not to protect the demons, but rather aimed at Lin Yi himself.

After converting Lin Yi, his cultivation level will definitely increase dramatically.

"You want to save me? I can let you try, but there are so many suffering people here, do you, Buddha, save them?"

Including the imperial concubines and princesses in the cage at Lin Yi's feet, the children of disgraced officials, boys and girls, and young adults who were previously auctioned off, totaling about two thousand people, all of whom are still locked in cages and have not been taken away by the buyers before the auction ends.

Those people were placed in an open space not far from the venue. To prevent anyone from causing trouble in the chaos, Lin Yi also left the Demon-Slaying Sword there.

Now, Lin Yi is talking about these people who have been bought and sold.

The Buddha of Moonlight and Light shook his head and said, "The Buddha guides those with affinity. What they are experiencing today is the suffering they are meant to endure. They must go through it themselves to be liberated and see the Tathagata."

"That sounds nice, but that's why I've always hated you bald monks."

Pointing at a monk and cursing him as a bald donkey, even the self-proclaimed magnanimous Moonlight Buddha couldn't help but tighten his grip on his staff at this moment.

"Amitabha!"

These four characters mean the same thing as ****.

Lin Yi certainly wouldn't indulge him. He had worked hard to cultivate to this day without ever slacking off. Was he supposed to compromise in the face of any trouble?

No, he studies so hard so that one day no one will be allowed to raise their voice at him.

"You bald thief, I am a reasonable person. I like to use my words to persuade people before I take action. But when I encounter a fake Buddha like you who can't distinguish right from wrong, I feel disgusted even trying to reason with you."

"If you wish to ferry me across, then come here!"

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he gently pushed all the cages nearby together, clearing a space for a duel.

The Moonlight Buddha, already harboring resentment from being called "Thief Bald" repeatedly, could no longer tolerate Lin Yi's provocation. He lightly pushed forward with his left hand, and a giant hand of light appeared, reaching out to grab Lin Yi.

This is the Buddhist supernatural power of the Dragon-Capturing Hand, which has the ability to subdue dragons and tigers.

If Lin Yi were to wander the martial world normally, he would certainly not recognize this supernatural power or secret technique, but the demons and monsters he had killed were often hundreds or even thousands of years old.

Lin Yi didn't completely inherit their memories, but watching some stories like watching a movie was enough for him to remember some of them.
