Chapter 504 An Eye for an Eye (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"boom!"

Li Yunjing's palm collided heavily with the opponent's golden palm!
His figure was actually forced out of his "Fire Release" state by the monk Huifang, revealing his true form.

Monk Huifang was not faring much better. He was forced back more than a dozen steps by the force of Li Yunjing's palm before he could stop himself.

The monk Huifang's face first turned pale, then red, and finally returned to normal.

Unbeknownst to those present, the monk Huifang was in turmoil, having swallowed back the mouthful of blood he had just tasted.

With just one blow, his internal organs were impacted, and he suffered internal injuries.

"What an amazing monk!"

Hui Fang was shocked, and Li Yun Jing was no different.

Originally, he was going to sweep across the world after breaking through to the Golden Core Realm. But he never expected that after fighting two monks, he would encounter an opponent on his second attempt!
Huihai, on the other hand, was thrown back by the attack and only recovered before flying back here.

Huifang is much more powerful!
Li Yunjing didn't feel any discomfort, but it was wrong that he didn't kill his opponent with one palm strike!
"Everyone be careful! This person is not easy to deal with. Quickly form a formation!"

Despite her physical discomfort, Huifang shouted angrily repeatedly.

"Wow..."

The other monks were taken aback, but with a formidable enemy at hand, they had no time to think. Years of cooperation allowed the eighteen monks to immediately disperse and form a battle formation. Buddhist chants rang out, and golden lotuses began to condense in the hall.

"You want to deal with me? You'll have to see if you have the ability!"

Li Yunjing sneered, and the "Five Dragon Wheels" flew out, transforming into five giant dragons that rushed towards the formation.

At the same time, the Yin and Yang energies circulated around him, and the power of the Five Elements transformed into a Five Elements Cage, enveloping the nearest monks, intending to capture one of them and break their formation.

"Vajra Subduing Demon Formation, activate!"

Huifang shouted, and the eighteen monks shone with golden light. The lotus phantoms formed a solid barrier, firmly blocking the five giant dragons.

"Boom!"

A burst of golden light filled the sky as eighteen Golden Core Realm monks joined forces to launch an attack on Li Yunjing.

A large Buddha statue appeared, reciting the word "Buddha".

Li Yunjing felt a sharp pain in his mind and almost fainted.

Li Yunjing's spiritual strength alone was no match for the combined attack of eighteen masters from Mingxin Temple.

The chanting of the Buddha's phantom almost caused Li Yunjing's magical power to dissipate.

He forced himself to circulate the Dragon-Tiger Golden Elixir, retreating repeatedly.

"Don't let him get away!"

Monk Huihai shouted, having been badly beaten by Li Yunjing earlier, he naturally wanted to take the opportunity to get revenge.

At this moment, Li Yunjing's "Five Elements Prison" and the five giant dragons were collapsing inch by inch amidst the Buddhist chants, and had long since suffered a complete defeat.

No matter how fierce Li Yunjing was, he could not withstand the powerful formation that could withstand a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Impressive! The Buddhist sect is indeed a formidable enemy of our Xuanmen!"

"No wonder the upper echelons of the sect regard Buddhism as a ferocious tiger. When they encounter Buddhist cultivators, they would rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!"

"That makes perfect sense!"

Li Yunjing retreated repeatedly, until he reached the entrance of the main hall.

Now that he was a little further away from the "Arhat Subduing Demon Formation", Li Yunjing felt a bit better.

His previous failures did not dampen his confidence.

In a one-on-one fight, he could sweep aside all eighteen monks of Mingxin Temple.

Even if surrounded by small groups, Li Yunjing would not be at a disadvantage.

However, it is normal that one person is not enough to fight against eighteen people, who are the eighteen people who form the "Arhat Subduing Demon Formation". With the combined strength of the eighteen people and the blessing of the formation, it is normal that one person is not enough.

Li Yunjing was a master of array formations, so how could he not understand that array formations were originally designed to utilize various forces to unleash combat power far exceeding that of the cultivators themselves, sweeping away the enemy?

"Go away!"

Seeing that Li Yunjing intended to leave the main hall, Monk Huifang shouted angrily.

The eighteen monks simultaneously formed hand seals, and countless golden Buddha palms slammed out from the void.

At the same time, the "Arhat Subduing Demon Formation" was also taken away by Li Yunjing's actions, deviating from the location of the light gate of the "Golden Core Realm" trial field and heading towards the entrance.

The opportunity has arrived!

With a loud "boom", Li Yunjing's body trembled, and he suddenly transformed into a bolt of lightning, changing direction and shooting towards the light gate!
"Not good! This person is from the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'! We must kill this demon!"

Upon seeing Li Yunjing use the "Thunder Escape Technique," the monks immediately recognized Li Yunjing's identity.

The Shenxiao Dao Sect and the Mingxin Temple are mortal enemies!

The two sides are like oil and water.

When Li Yunjing was only a zhang away from the gate, the monk Huifang's staff, imbued with the power of Vajra Subduing Demons, suddenly attacked from the side.

"Conquer the devil!"

The other monks shouted at the same time, and all sorts of weapons were thrown at Li Yunjing's lightning bolt.

In an instant, the portal was almost blown to pieces!

Let alone Golden Core cultivators, even Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn't stand still and withstand the attacks of these crazy monks!
"Hahaha! Too late! You think you can stop me? You're dreaming!"

Li Yunjing's lightning power surged, and almost instantly, he entered the portal of light.

"Lightning Release Technique" is almost the fastest escape technique.

No matter how fast these monks reacted, they couldn't stop them!

"This person is a formidable enemy!"

From behind came the monk Huifang's furious roar: "Chase! We can't let him get the Buddhist treasure first!"

"Yes! Senior brother!"

Seventeen golden rays followed closely behind, also flying towards the gate of light.

But just as they stepped through the portal and entered a special world, a "boom" resounded as a bolt of "chaotic divine lightning" descended from the sky, striking one of the thin monks on the head.

"what……"

Because of the portal to another dimension, the "Arhat Subduing Demon Formation" had already disintegrated.

Without the protection of the formation, how could that monk at the fourth level of the Golden Core Realm withstand Li Yunjing's sneak attack?
With a single blow, the man's body shattered.

Only one "relicary relic" flew out, which was then put into the sleeve of the monk Huifang and protected.

"The shameless scoundrels of the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' will resort to underhanded tactics!"

"People from the Xuanmen sect are all like this, shameless and despicable!"

"rat!"

"Don't die!"

At this moment, the other monks realized what was happening and began to shout and curse.

They completely forgot that it was the monks of Mingxin Temple who launched the sneak attack first!

However, the monk Huihai's sneak attack failed!

"Hahaha! This is called karma, retribution is inevitable!"

"Have you forgotten about the ambush you launched against me earlier?"

Having crippled one of his opponents in one fell swoop, Li Yunjing was in high spirits and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"You wicked creature! How dare you humiliate me like this, you eighteen Vajra warriors of Mingxin Temple!"

The monk Huifang's eyes were bloodshot, and the veins beneath his robe throbbed.

Even the prayer beads in his hand were crushed to pieces.

It's not as simple as just adding one less person!
The problem is that the "Arhat Subduing Demon Formation" cannot be set up!

They've lost their biggest trump card!

How can we collect Buddhist treasures under these circumstances?

In particular, the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" actually sent out such a master.

I wonder if there are any more experts from the Shenxiao Dao Sect here!
"Let's all attack together and kill this man to avenge Junior Brother Huikong!"

With a roar from the monk Huifang.

Behind him, sixteen monks simultaneously formed hand seals, recreating the giant Buddha statue, which completely locked onto Li Yunjing's aura.

This time, however, the Buddha statue appeared somewhat illusory.

Clearly, the absence of one person diminished the power of their combined efforts.

"That bald monk with a mouth of Buddha but a heart of a snake, spouting nonsense about cause and effect and retribution, yet he bullies the weak with his numbers outside the gate of light!"

"Now I'll show you the power of the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'!"

Li Yunjing didn't care at all, and with his fingertips he drew out strange runes in the void, conjuring up lightning.

His body crackled with lightning, and he suddenly lashed out with a lightning whip at the nearest monk.

"Today I'll let you taste the power of Xuanmen Thunder Technique!"

"evil creature!"

The monk Huihai swept his staff horizontally, and the golden light collided with the thunder whip, exploding into dazzling sparks.

Monk Huihai felt a numbness in his arm, and almost dropped his staff. "Useless trash!"

Li Yunjing sneered and took the opportunity to transform into a bolt of lightning and circle around to the right side of the monks of Mingxin Temple.

"Oh no! This person is going to use lightning-based techniques to ambush us one by one!"

The monk Huifang noticed in time, and a Buddhist chant shook the void, causing twelve golden lotus platforms to rise from beneath his feet.

All the monks were protected on the lotus platform.

"Oh no! The enemy has a defensive treasure!"

Li Yunjing was a discerning person; he could tell at a glance that the other party's lotus platform was a fourth-tier item!

"Try it first!"

Li Yunjing did not retreat immediately, but instead made a series of moves, using the Five Thunder Orthodox Method to gather the power of heavenly thunder.

In a short while, dark clouds filled the sky, and flashes of lightning could be seen.

"Boom!"

Nine bolts of purple lightning, each as thick as a water bucket, crashed down onto the lotus platform, scattering golden lotus flowers everywhere.

However, even after the lightning struck, it failed to break through the defenses and harm the monks inside!

"Amitabha!"

Suddenly, the Buddhist beads on Monk Huifang's chest flew out and strung together to form a golden chain, flying towards Li Yunjing in an attempt to entangle him.

"Those who remain obstinate will be consumed by the flames of karma!"

On the chains, Sanskrit characters lit up, and Li Yunjing felt an intense heat all around him.

He even felt a burning pain on his skin.

"A mere treasure artifact can fight against me?"

Li Yunjing snorted coldly, and his Yin and Yang energies circulated wildly around him, actually tearing the chains in half.

While everyone was still in shock, Li Yunjing unleashed the "Five Dragon Wheels," which transformed into a giant wheel carrying the power of the five elements, and swept across the area.

"Diamond Shield!"

Seventeen monks at the Golden Core stage simultaneously intervened to stop them.

Suddenly, Li Yunjing abandoned his attack, turned around and rushed into the distance, disappearing in a few flashes.

"Damn it! He ran away!"

The monk Huihai was furious and cursed loudly.

As for the precepts of Buddhism?
That's for believers and ordinary people!

What does this have to do with a master as high and mighty as him?
"Chase him! Find him alive or dead!"

As the monk Huifang gazed in the direction where Li Yunjing had disappeared, thin lines of blood seeped from the broken ends of his prayer beads, staining his robe with dark red marks.

"Dare to mock my 'Mingxin Temple'? I'll skin you alive!"

Before he finished speaking, Monk Huihai had already transformed into a golden light and shot out, the copper bell on his staff vibrating with a piercing buzz.

"Senior brother, wait a minute!"

The slightly chubby Huichen suddenly reached out to stop them, his round face covered in cold sweat. "This boy can tear apart the 'Soul-Locking Chains' and possesses the Five Elements Treasures. He must have planned this all along. If we rashly separate, we might fall into his ambush!"

The other monks paused upon hearing this, exchanging glances with a hint of apprehension in their eyes.

The extraordinary abilities Li Yunjing displayed in their previous encounter still left them with lingering fear.

Everyone here knows their stuff; one-on-one, we're definitely no match for this person!
If we were to pursue them, the formation would become slightly scattered, which would likely give this person an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Of all those present, only Brother Huifang was able to withstand a few of the opponent's moves; no one else had the confidence to do so!

"Hmph! Are we just going to let him go?"

Huihai's eyes widened in anger, his muscles bulging beneath his robe. "I'd like to see how long he can hide!"

He swung his staff at the giant rock beside him, and a flash of golden light turned the towering rock into dust in an instant.

……

Li Yunjing was unaware of the monks' anger. After leaving, he immediately began exploring the "Golden Core Realm" training ground.

This training ground has been open for a long time, and many Golden Core Realm experts have already entered here and are undergoing training in various places.

Li Yunjing was in the golden desert, surrounded by nothingness.

"It seems that this trial is taking place in the desert before us."

Li Yunjing stood on the illusory image of the Yin-Yang fish, hovering in mid-air, his divine sense spreading out like a tide.

The forty-mile perception range was like a stone sinking into the sea of ​​golden sand, with only the occasional metallic clanging sound coming from under the sand, as if countless creatures were moving in the sand.

"What a pity! This desert is too vast, and I don't know where to go!"

Li Yunjing frowned. Even with the divine sense of a Golden Core cultivator, it was still difficult to explore everything, which made him slightly disappointed.

The Divine Firmament Forging Technique was unleashed once more. Li Yunjing held the Heavenly Profound Compass in his left palm. Under the activation of Li Yunjing's Heavenly Technique, the compass emitted a buzzing sound, and the pointer spun wildly...

Fifteen minutes later, Li Yunjing used Buddhist information to make calculations and actually found some clues.

With a swift movement, he stepped on the illusory image of the "Yin-Yang Twin Fish" and flew forward.

Before long, after galloping for three hundred miles, Li Yunjing stopped and looked down at the desert below.

"Whoosh..."

Li Yunjing flicked his finger towards the ground, and the force of lightning blasted open a crater more than ten feet deep. At the bottom of the crater, there were rusty weapons stuck in the ground, including swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks.

These weapons are all discarded treasures, having lost their spiritual essence and become ordinary waste.

"Om..."

Li Yunjing casually tossed it, and the "Five Dragon Wheel" suddenly trembled violently, with the five dragon shadows turning into streams of light and disappearing into the sand.

A moment later, the ground suddenly rose up, and a stone coffin covered with Buddhist and Taoist runes emerged from the ground.

"what?"

Wisps of black gas seeped from the cracks in the coffin lid, and Li Yunjing's pupils shrank sharply. The aura actually carried the aura of an extraterrestrial demon.

This reminded him of a time when he was teleported to the "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals," where it seemed that the arrival of extraterrestrial demons had caused the area to shatter, resulting in the deaths of cultivators and the rise of monsters.

Just as Li Yunjing was hesitating, about to open the stone coffin, the sound of children's laughter came from inside. The coffin lid opened by itself without any wind, revealing a golden-eyed girl holding a blood jade bottle.

"Big brother, are you looking for a Buddhist treasure?"

The girl stood barefoot on the stone coffin, her skirt sweeping over the discarded treasures around her. In an instant, all the discarded treasures turned to ashes and scattered with the wind.

Those trash were not even worthy of being collected in Li Yunjing's eyes, but they were definitely still at the second level!
And yet, this very material, once the girl appeared, turned to ashes with a single sweep of her aura, clearly indicating that the girl who emerged from the coffin was no benevolent being.

Li Yunjing didn't speak, but looked at the girl warily, as if he was sizing her up and trying to figure out what she was!
"But Buddha is eating monks!"

The girl didn't seem to care and continued talking to herself, spouting nonsensical words.

As Li Yunjing was puzzled, the girl suddenly raised her hand and threw out the jade bottle. Thick black mist poured out of the bottle, turning the surrounding area into a ghostly realm.

"Oh no! Is this little girl a ghost?"

Li Yunjing was startled. The power of the dragon and tiger around him burst forth with golden light, and the power of the five elements formed the "Five-Colored Divine Light", which enveloped him and resisted the ghostly energy outside!
"Hehe! Big brother, you're really good!"

The little girl giggled and leaped into the air, transforming into thousands of blood-red butterflies that disappeared into the sand.

Suddenly, spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the ground, and streams of black liquid gushed out.

"What the hell is this?"

The yin-yang fish phantom beneath Li Yunjing's feet spun rapidly, narrowly avoiding the gushing corrosive black spring.

"Zizzizi..."

The black spring shot high into the sky, releasing bursts of poisonous mist.

"Reversal of the Five Elements, Summoning Heavenly Thunder!"

Li Yunjing's eyes were sharp as he locked onto the trajectory of the blood butterfly that had burrowed into the sand, and he formed a hand seal.

With a deafening roar, the thunderbolts as thick as buckets—the "Geng Metal Divine Thunder," the "Yi Wood Divine Thunder," the "Bing Fire Divine Thunder," the "Gui Water Divine Thunder," and the "Xu Earth Divine Thunder"—slammed down, carving deep, bottomless ravines into the golden desert.

"ah……"

A child's shrill scream came from underground, and thousands of blood butterflies reformed into the shape of a girl, her skirt stained with mottled lightning marks.

The blood jade bottle in her arms suddenly pulsed, and the black spring transformed into a black dragon that pounced towards Li Yunjing. The dragon's eyes flickered with ghostly green flames.

It is not a living thing either!

"So you're a 'Netherworld Blood Butterfly' that has cultivated into a spirit!"

Li Yunjing swung out the "Five Dragon Wheels" with his backhand, and five giant dragon phantoms roared to meet the attack. The moment the dragon claws tore through the black dragon, foul-smelling poisonous blood rained down.

Li Yunjing bit his tongue and spat a mouthful of blood onto the "Five Dragon Wheels," causing the magical artifact to shine brightly.

At the same time, he activated the Dragon-Tiger Golden Elixir, and his magical power surged like a raging sea, forming the Azure Dragon and White Tiger guardian deities once again, which attacked the girl.

"Today I'll subdue this wicked monster!"

Before Li Yunjing could finish speaking, the sound of Buddhist chants came from the distant horizon. The golden light array formed by the people of Mingxin Temple broke through the black mist and actually caught up with them here.

This made Li Yunjing's face turn ugly, and he hesitated about what to do.

In his view, these bald monks were most likely going to deal with him first, and might even cooperate with this monster!
Li Yunjing was well aware of the wickedness of Buddhism!
