456: I don't follow the rules anymore

Chapter 456: I Won't Follow the Rules Either

Lu Ran looked around in confusion.

Then he opened his skill panel, muttering, "Unable to use skills, so it must be a magic-suppressing effect."

But as soon as he opened the skill panel,

his skills were all lit up, but they were the Undead Mage's skills.

However, the Daoist's skill bar was all grayed out and unclickable.

After checking the debuffs on himself and others, Lu Ran understood.

It really was a magic suppression!

At this moment, everyone from the Daoist sect was in a state of magic suppression!

Lu Ran looked up at his surroundings.

He indeed found some patterns resembling the main body of a formation shimmering on the surrounding stands.

And the ground beneath his feet was where the formation's core lay.

In other words, everyone from the Daoist sect had entered a formation previously set up by the Buddhist sect, and it was a magic-suppressing formation!

"How cunning!"

Lu Ran almost burst out laughing.

The Buddhist sect was already very powerful; even if they clashed with the Daoist sect, they would have an absolute advantage, of course, assuming Lu Ran wasn't involved.

But even so, the Buddhist sect was unwilling to clash, unwilling to suffer losses.

Instead, they used a magic-suppressing formation to restrict everyone from the Daoist sect!

This was too shameless!

A group of Daoists, unable to use Daoist magic, wouldn't they just become a group of ordinary people?

And their numbers were so small, far fewer than the Buddhist sect's numbers.

This way, they were completely like lambs to the slaughter, and the Buddhist sect could use Buddhist magic without any scruples.

Any master who stepped out could single-handedly bombard and kill all the Daoist sect members with Buddhist magic!

"It's over, we're really finished!"

"We were already at a disadvantage, and now we can't even use Daoist magic, this..."

"Sigh, we shouldn't have come. We should have known the Buddhist sect would be so shameless!"

"Lu Ran, what should we do?"

...

Even Liu Daming was anxious.

He instinctively thought that since everyone else couldn't use Daoist magic, Lu Ran also wouldn't be able to use any abilities.

Even if he could summon so many Undead creatures, it would be useless!

He couldn't summon them at all!

In this way, the Daoist sect would truly be serving themselves up!

Only Cen Yu Nuo remained confident, without the slightest worry.

Because although Cen Yu Nuo also couldn't use Daoist magic, she was also a professional, and she could see that her professional skills were usable.

So Lu Ran's Undead skills would not be affected.

Daoist magic, for Lu Ran, was merely icing on the cake; his true terror lay in his Undead Mage skills that synergized with his attributes!

Lu Ran looked up at the World Honored One at this moment.

He said coldly, "The Buddhist sect is truly shameless. Since this is to be a decisive battle, and under the premise that the Buddhist sect has an absolute numerical advantage, yet you resort to such a thing, preventing us from using Daoist magic. Do you still call yourselves holy monks?"

Upon hearing this,

the World Honored One showed no shame, but chuckled.

He said, "This One said that this One does not regard the Daoist sect highly, but Buddhist disciples must not suffer the slightest loss. This One is too lazy to act, merely making it easier for the Buddhist sect to harvest. The demise of the Daoist sect is destined, and Buddhist disciples should conserve their strength as much as possible."

What thick skin!

At this moment,

the World Honored One continued, "However, since this question has been raised, there's no harm in telling you. Before you arrived, Mount Sumeru had already activated the formation. This formation was specially designed by the Buddhist sect for the Daoist sect, named: Naraka Prison! Within this formation, all Daoist magic cannot be cast. Of course, the Buddhist sect is not affected. In short, you are now just ordinary people. To kill you ordinary people, any few Buddhist disciples can do it. So, do you still have confidence?"

Hearing this,

Lu Ran understood.

All this elaborate show, the purpose was actually very simple: the Buddhist sect still wanted to experience the stance of being superior.

To make the Daoist sect despair!

To experience that sense of superiority from being able to easily manipulate the Daoist sect.

Of course,

this also required the Daoist sect to cooperate well.

And the Daoist sect members behind Lu Ran were indeed flustered.

They weren't afraid of death; daring to come here with Lu Ran meant they had long prepared to die.

But they could die, yet they couldn't die so indignantly!

Like a foolish pig, they blundered into a trap, unable to cause any harm to the Buddhist sect, and the entire Daoist sect was to be annihilated!

This feeling of indignance and unwillingness, of being played for fools by the Buddhist sect, was the most unbearable.

Lu Ran pursed his lips and said, "The grievances between the Daoist sect and the Buddhist sect for so many years are finally coming to an end. Yet, your Buddhist sect resorts to such despicable means. In a battle between Daoism and Buddhism, you don't allow us to use Daoist magic. You're truly shameless, I'm embarrassed for you."

The World Honored One burst into laughter upon hearing this.

He said, "It is to be a decisive battle. As you just said, a decisive battle is merely a matter of life and death. If that is the case, then there is no need to care about the specifics of the Daoist and Buddhist sects. The death of one side is the outcome, and right now, our Buddhist sect has achieved that. The destruction of the Daoist sect will be in an instant."

"Achieved what?" Lu Ran asked.

"Is it not obvious enough? Within Naraka Prison, what other means does your Daoist sect have to resist?" the World Honored One said with a chuckle.

Lu Ran slowly exhaled.

He took two steps forward, looking around.

He said, "Since you've put it this way, then fine, I don't need to follow any rules either."

Oh?

The World Honored One looked at Lu Ran curiously.

Not follow the rules? What did he mean?

They were already in Naraka Prison, what else could they do?

Lu Ran continued, "Did you forget, although Cen Yu Nuo is a Daoist, she is also a professional, and so am I. Although I also use Daoist magic, I am also a professional. Your Naraka Prison only prevents the use of Daoist magic; our professional skills are not affected. Since it's a matter of life and death, then rules don't matter. The Buddhist sect, today, shall vanish."

"Hahahaha..."

Unexpectedly, the World Honored One burst into laughter.

The surrounding Buddhist sect members also laughed along.

The atmosphere on the scene was extremely strange; all the Buddhist sect members seemed to be watching a group of clowns struggling foolishly.

"So many Daoists are crippled, what can you and Cen Yu Nuo possibly do?"

"Are professionals very arrogant? What good is it?"

"Do you intend for you and Cen Yu Nuo, just the two of you, to fight our entire Buddhist sect?"

"To see such a good show before the Daoist sect's demise is worth it, haha..."

...

The World Honored One also added, "No need to pretend to be mysterious. This One clearly sees your levels; they are too low. Even your professional skills are clearly a mess. This One is curious, however, how you managed to kill the Four Great Guardian Devas of Mount Sumeru. I heard you can summon something? Good, summon it and let this One witness it."

Lu Ran shrugged.

The sea-stabilizing trident appeared in his hand.

He spread his hands.

Facing all the Buddhist sect members, facing the World Honored One.

He said loudly, "Since that's the case, I won't use Daoist magic either. I will use my Undead Mage skills to pay homage to all Buddhas!"
