The sudden barks from the dog made the scene chaotic all of a sudden.
Tao Yuan, the Silver Lizard King, subconsciously turned around to look. He only glimpsed a stream of silvery light flas.h.i.+ng by in front of his eyes and couldn’t tell what it was.
“What’s going on?”
He was taken aback.
When he looked again, the eight disciples of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance who had been captured by the Demon Coalition were already gone.
“Why have they disappeared?
“Is this a joke?”
Tao Yuan suddenly felt a buzzing in his head and realized that he was in trouble.
He raised his head and saw tens of figures showing up on the Buddha’s Palm. Most of them were disciples of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance and they held s.h.i.+ny weapons in their hands. Among them, there was a husky as big as a calf. It was standing upright like a human and wearing the uniform of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance, which was not a good fit. It looked very strange. “Is this strange dog the one that spoke just now?”
The eight members of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance who had been captured also appeared on the Buddha’s palm. Obviously, someone rescued them in the blink of an eye.
“What sort of ability is this?”
In the square on the Buddha’s palm.
Song Youyan and the others were also taken aback.
“What’s going on?”
“It’s us, Director Song. I’m Tang Tian,” Tang Tian said loudly right away.
Song Youyan finally recognized them. Greatly shocked, he asked, “You... didn’t I tell you to leave Dunhuang? Why are you here? How is the base of Dunhuang Branch now?”
“Director, there’s no need to be afraid anymore. Li Mu, the G.o.d of War, is back.” Tang Tian excitedly told Song Youyan what had happened and then said, “He has searched all the secret realms in the Mogao Caves with us. Now, the entire Dunhuang City should be under our control.”
Song Youyan and the disciples of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance were overjoyed upon hearing that.
“Greetings, Your Honor the G.o.d of Martial Arts.”
“Consultant Li.”
“Senior Li.”
The disciples of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance addressed Li Mu by different names to express their excitement.
The legendary master in their minds appeared out of the blue at the most crucial moment.
They were like drowning travelers who saw a lifeline being dropped from an aircraft carrier that suddenly appeared in front of them.
Li Mu, the G.o.d of War, was the savior of the world.
As long as this person showed up, they would not be afraid even if the enemy had thousands upon thousands of troops.
This person’s name itself carried such magical powers.
Li Mu greeted them in return. Just when he was about to say something, his expression suddenly underwent a slight change. Then, in a flash, he appeared behind Lu Xun, who was sitting in the middle of the square on the Buddha’s palm, surrounded by illusory lotuses.
At this time, Lu Xun’s face glowed with a red light as if it had been dyed with blood, and his chest rose and fell rapidly. The energy waves around him became distorted, and the illusory white lotuses started flickering.
These were the signs of mental disorder and psychotic reaction.
It seemed he had been affected after all.
“Focus your attention, stay calm, and merge with the Buddha’s secret treasure first. Today, I will give you a chance to take revenge.” Li Mu pressed a palm against Lu Xun’s back.
He injected primordial energy and the power of Law into Lu Xun’s body.
Lu Xun’s condition soon stabilized.
“What kind of Buddha’s secret treasure did he get? The power in his body is as strong as a vast ocean, and it has such great potential.” Li Mu sensed the formidable power in Lu Xun’s body that was slowly merging with Lu Xun’s natural Qi.
A Buddhist-like power came out of Lu Xun’s body.
“It seems that he has really obtained an amazing Buddha’s secret treasure.”
With Li Mu’s help, Lu Xun’s condition gradually stabilized, and he began to merge with the secret treasure again.
In the sky.
When he overheard the conversations of the people on the ground, Tao Yuan, the Silver Lizard King, who was sitting on the back of the dragon-like lizard, was shocked.
“That man is here... How could it be? Didn’t they say that he had left the Earth?”
He was a little scared.
There were many legends about this person on Earth. It would be fair to say that he had won resounding fame throughout the world and his name was known to almost all. He was so formidably powerful that there was no one who was not afraid of him.
“Your Majesty, what should we do?”
“Should we retreat?”
Upon hearing that Li Mu had shown up, several trusted subordinates around him couldn’t help wanting to retreat.
A hint of anxiety gleamed in the eyes of Tao Yuan, the Silver Lizard King.
He felt scared.
“Let’s withdraw.”
Without any hesitation, he directly ordered the people of the Demon Coalition to retreat and get out of the cave. In the face of such a formidable enemy, he didn’t dare to take any risks no matter how arrogant he was.
All the pract.i.tioners of the Demon Coalition breathed a collective sigh of relief, ready to retreat at once.
However...
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The m.u.f.fled sounds of collision rang out.
Several half-demons who fled hurriedly in their bid to escape crashed into an invisible energy wall in the air. They saw stars and fell from the sky.
“What?”
“Has our way been blocked?”
After a series of collisions, the half-demons of the Demon Coalition fell to the ground like dumplings dropping into a pot.
Layers of ripples appeared in the void.
At this time, all the people were shocked to find that a huge silvery cover had appeared in the sky. Like a huge divine bowl with complex patterns, it covered the Buddha statue that was over ten thousand meters high and the entire s.p.a.ce within the radius of tens of thousands of meters around the Buddha statue.
The people of the Demon Coalition were all trapped in it. There was no way for them to escape.
“Today, none of the people from the Demon Coalition can get out of here. All of you are going to die.”
Li Mu walked to the edge of the Buddha’s palm. The middle finger of the Buddha pointed at the sky. Li Mu fixed his eyes on Tao Yuan, the Silver Lizard King.
He was unwilling to let Tao Yuan and the half-demons go.
He could kill them easily with a flick of his mind. Those culprits had destroyed the headquarters of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance and almost destroyed some of the measures that he arranged on the Earth... The Earth had changed so dramatically.
Under Li Mu’s gaze, Tao Yuan felt as if a sharp steel knife was pressed against his neck, and he felt a chill down his spine.
He drove the dragon-like lizard to get away from Li Mu and avoid Li Mu’s eyes.
“Li Mu, do you really want to go against the Demon Coalition?”
He pretended to be tough but was actually quaking inside.
“You idiot.”
Li Mu said to himself.
He felt it was too demeaning and disgusting to even speak one more word to such a b.a.s.t.a.r.d.
However, he was not in a hurry to start a slaughter.
Li Mu believed that Lu Xun would prefer to take revenge in his own hands.
What Li Mu needed to do was to trap those evil b.a.s.t.a.r.ds here. After Lu Xun finished integrating the power of the Buddha’s secret treasure, he would personally take back the glory that belonged to the Lu Family.
Li Mu started to help the captives heal their wounds.
Time went by.
The disciples of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance who were originally in a desperate situation were very excited now.
Now that the situation had been reversed, the half-demons of the Demon Coalition began to suffer from fear and despair. Like a tide, the terrifying atmosphere engulfed all of them. Li Mu and his name made them tremble with fear.
About two hours later.
Rays of golden light erupted from Lu Xun’s body.
He had succeeded in integrating the Buddha’s secret treasure with his power.
Numerous golden Buddha hands appeared behind Lu Xun one after another, which overlapped each other. As the number of golden hands increased, Lu Xu looked like a thousand-armed Buddha with overwhelming divine power. Three divine halos emerged from the back of his head, and the white lotuses around him blossomed slowly as their pistils sprouted gradually. Then, the white lotuses rose from the center of the Buddha’s palm and supported Lu Xun, who was sitting in the middle of the pistils, as they floated in the air.
Now, he looked as if he were a deity or a Buddha.
As he moved, the entire Sakyamuni Buddha statue seemed to come alive.
Lu Xun opened his eyes.
Sakyamuni Buddha also opened his eyes.
“Tao Yuan, I want you dead!”
Lu Xun’s eyes were bloodshot.
He glared at Tao Yuan and let out a furious roar.
The time for revenge had come.
“Grandpa, please watch me take revenge for you.”
He rushed out and charged at Tao Yuan, the Silver Lizard King, like a wild beast.
His eyes were aflame with rage.
Even though he had integrated the Buddha’s secret treasure and gained the Buddhist nature, there was only one word in his mind at this moment——
Kill!
