358: Western Buddhist sect, you have broken a taboo!

Inside the main hall, a strong scent of blood permeated, and the aftershocks of the battle had not yet completely subsided.

Ling Xi turned her head to look at Xiao Ruobai, Fang Hanyu, Wang Xiaopang, and Mo Yu behind her.

However, what met her eyes were four faces filled with extreme shock, even a little dazed.

Wang Xiaopang's mouth hung open, his jaw almost hitting the floor, his small eyes wide and round as if he had seen a ghost. He stared fixedly at Ling Xi, even forgetting to breathe.

Mo Yu Qilin lay sprawled on the ground, also forgetting to lick its wounds. It was rubbing its eyes hard with a front paw, muttering unconsciously.

"An illusion, it must be an illusion from being beaten just now. I must be dreaming..."

Even Fang Hanyu, who was always cold and composed, had completely lost his composure at this moment.

He had forgotten to steady the ancient sword he held, letting it tilt slightly. His usually clear and cold eyes were now wide open, filled with incredible horror.

His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but not a single word came out.

Xiao Ruobai's expression was the most complex, shock, bewilderment, disbelief, all ultimately transforming into deep awe.

He looked at Ling Xi as if he was truly seeing this usually cold and taciturn Third Junior Sister for the first time.

Their gazes first subconsciously swept over the Qi fluctuations around Ling Xi, which could not be completely contained due to her full power outburst.

Peak King Realm!

A shock simultaneously ran through their hearts!

When did Third Junior Sister's (Senior Sister's) cultivation quietly Breakthrough to the Peak King Realm?!

This Cultivation speed was simply astonishing!

But the next second, this astonishing discovery was completely drowned by an even stronger, even more paradigm-shifting wave of shock!

Ah, no!

What they were shocked by was not this at all, damn it!

They were shocked that a Cultivator at the Peak King Realm had almost instantly killed a Saint King Realm mighty expert at their peak, with just one finger?!

That was a Saint King!

An existence that surpassed Saints, practically a hegemon of a region!

Buddha Liyin was an old and powerful expert among Saint King Realm Cultivators!

In front of Ling Xi's single finger, all Buddha treasures and life-saving trump cards were like paper!

If not for that buddha relic desperately resisting at the very end, Liyin would have absolutely perished, body and Divine Soul destroyed, deader than dead!

A King Realm Cultivator, transcending two entire major Realms, forcefully crushing a Saint King?!

This was no longer just challenging above one's Realm; this was Heaven-Defying, damn it! Heaven-Defying!

It was overturning the ancient iron laws of the Cultivation world!

"Ho... Holy crap!!"

The deathly silence was finally broken. Wang Xiaopang was the first to snap back to reality, letting out an earth-shattering scream, his voice distorted, filled with extreme horror and incoherence:

"Third, Third Senior Sister?! You, you, what kind of finger technique was that just now?! One finger almost wiped out that old bald donkey?! Am I losing too much blood and having hallucinations?! Fatty, I don't read much, don't lie to me! King Realm fighting Saint King?! Is this real?!"

Mo Yu Qilin also vigorously shook its head.

"Is this even human? I used to think that Master Battle Asura was already a peerless Prodigy, unrivaled among his peers, but now there's someone even fiercer than Master."

At this moment, Mo Yu's loyalty to Xiao Ruobai and its sense of belonging to this small group became even more steadfast in the face of extreme shock, even taking on a nearly devout meaning.

To be able to follow such a Master and walk alongside such a monster, it, Mo Yu, might truly be on an unprecedented path leading to unimaginable heights.

Even Fang Hanyu, usually as calm as ice, finally found a trace of his voice amidst the extreme shock.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his turbulent emotions. His worldview had been unprecedentedly shaken at this moment.

Xiao Ruobai did not speak. He just looked deeply at Ling Xi, his gaze incredibly complex.

The strength Ling Xi displayed had completely exceeded the scope of what common sense could explain.

As the Senior Brother, being far surpassed by his Junior Sister, an indescribable sense of urgency arose within him.

He needed to accelerate his strength improvement!

Facing the gazes of the four, who looked at her as if she were a monster, Ling Xi's pale face showed no expression. She merely frowned slightly.

Seemingly uncomfortable with the current atmosphere, she spoke lightly, her voice weak but still clear and cold:

"Just a small life-saving trick, but the cost is considerable. Let's leave here first; this place is not suitable for staying long."

She downplayed that astonishing finger technique.

Earlier, when Buddha Liyin secretly arrived here, Ling Xi discovered him and transmitted a message to the others, planning to use the Opportunity to keep Buddha Liyin here.

Everyone only knew that Ling Xi would deliver a thunderous blow at the end. They originally thought Ling Xi would use an offensive supreme treasure, completely unaware that Ling Xi would unleash such an astonishing attack with her own strength.

At this moment, in the hearts of Xiao Ruobai and the others, the image of this Third Junior Sister (Senior Sister) had become incredibly mysterious and unfathomable.

Xiao Hei, at some unknown point, had transformed into a small bird and quietly appeared in Xiao Ruobai's sleeve, his eyes now filled with bone-chilling coldness.

He did not pay much attention to Ling Xi's astonishing finger, his gaze penetrating the obstruction of the main hall, remotely locking onto the direction Buddha Liyin had fled, and further towards the distant Western Regions.

He snorted coldly in his heart.

"Dare to break the rule I set back then, that those over a hundred years old, the older generation, are not allowed to act. Western Regions Buddhist Sect, you have broken the taboo!"

And Xiao Bai also transformed into a small snake, its dark body appearing in the shadows of the main hall.

In the Western Regions, above a deserted valley, space suddenly tore open, and a dim blood-light stumbled out, revealing Buddha Liyin's severely damaged and extremely weak figure.

"Pfft—!"

As soon as he appeared, he immediately spat out another large mouthful of foul blood mixed with fragments of golden Buddha Power. His body swayed precariously, almost falling from the air.

He barely managed to steady himself, his gaunt face devoid of color. Only his eyes were filled with the lingering fear of surviving a catastrophe, deep-seated resentment, and a trace of persistent, unbelievable horror.

"Cough cough, damn it! Absolutely damn it!"

Buddha Liyin clutched his sunken chest, feeling the dim Golden Body within him and the buddha relic, which was covered in cracks and had lost much of its spiritual essence. His heart was bleeding!

A thousand years of arduous Cultivation, almost ruined in an instant!

"What kind of finger technique was that woman using?! How could a King Realm Cultivator possess such terrifying power?!

It could actually ignore the Realm gap and directly target the Origin, almost shattering even the buddha relic!"

He recalled that understated yet seemingly world-severing finger in the main hall, still feeling a stinging pain in his Divine Soul and lingering fear.

If not for the life-saving relic left by the Ancestral Master, he would already be reduced to ashes like Fakong!

"That is definitely not a technique that should exist in the mortal world! Could it be the Reincarnation of some ancient mighty expert? Or did she obtain some forbidden Legacy?"

Liyin's thoughts raced, and the more he thought, the more terrifying it became.

He originally only wanted to seize an Opportunity, but he never expected to kick such a terrifying iron plate!

"Trouble, this is really trouble now!"

Buddha Liyin suddenly remembered the mysterious existence behind Xiao Ruobai and the others, that terrifying figure who could flatten Glazed Holy Land with a flick of a finger!

His attempt to harm Battle Asura and the others this time, though unsuccessful, had fully exposed his intentions and, moreover, broke the rule of "those over a hundred years old are not allowed to act." This was undoubtedly a blatant slap in the face to that person!

"I must return to Spirit Mountain immediately! And report this matter to the Old Ancestors in seclusion!"

Liyin's face showed urgency, and a hint of ruthlessness and decisiveness flashed in his eyes.

However, just as he was about to drag his heavily injured body towards the Buddhist Sect, a chilling voice suddenly reached his ears.

"You broke my rule, you have no chance of returning alive."

Before Buddha Liyin could react, he felt a terrifying force emerge from nowhere, sweeping across his tattered body!

"No... spare me..."

At this moment, all talk of Buddha's mercy, all talk of subduing demons and devils, was completely thrown to the back of his mind in the face of death.

There was only one thought in his heart: I don't want to die.

But before he could finish his sentence, Liyin suddenly looked down and saw his legs and hands slowly turning into ashes.

This then spread to his entire body, and his consciousness subsequently plunged into endless darkness, turning to dust and vanishing.

Xiao Hei blinked innocently from Xiao Ruobai's sleeve, as if nothing concerned him.
