I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1250

Chapter 1250: Chapter 1251: Playing a Double Act Chapter 1250: Chapter 1251: Playing a Double Act The thunderous explosions above the sky continued, and waves of thick white smoke kept rolling in.

Above the mountain top, the little yellow chicken turned into a roasted chicken, simply because Li Xiaobai was afflicted with the negative status of Decay God Possession, and as he threw the Firecracker Thunderclaps, they began exploding on their own, blowing up half of the mountain top. The pile of Firecracker Thunderclaps next to Ji Wuqing ignited almost simultaneously, causing the mountain to collapse and the charred body of the chicken rolled down to Li Xiaobai's feet.

“Uh… I forgot about the negative status, but I can't be blamed for this–it exploded on its own.”

Li Xiaobai looked at the devastated mountain top and felt rather speechless inside. Thankfully, those were Firecracker Thunderclaps intended only for those at the Human Immortal Realm. If he had released the Exploding Star, with its countless Heavenly Immortal Realm explosion energies stacking up, the destructive power would probably have impacted the entire city.

“There's still so much left, just throw them all down.”

Looking at the mountain-like pile of Firecracker Thunderclaps still beside him, Li Xiaobai thought for a moment and then swept them away with his longsword. The shocking sword light cleaved off that corner of the mountain peak, and both the mountain top and Firecracker Thunderclaps exploded together in unison, sending rolling thick smoke erupting upward, forming a white barrier pressing down upon the many cultivators below.

Down below.

The cultivators' enlightenment soared dramatically, and waves of dense Immortal Yuan Power fluctuations spread out, causing the white fog to boil and breakthroughs occurred one after another.

The white fog had become so dense that one could not see their own hands, and even black figures could not be seen. Through the blurry confusion, the many cultivators who had been brainwashed over the years by the Power of Faith finally came to their senses.

Realizing what had happened, the gazes of these cultivators gradually changed from confusion to clarity.

Almost all the cultivators in the entire city had been lured here, and a few devotees of the Buddhist Sect who hadn't been deceived started recalling the actions of the Golden Wheel Temple over the years as the influence of the Power of Faith faded, and their expressions darkened.

“Amitabha, deluded beings, awaken!”

Ergouzi observed the reactions of the crowd, stood up, and sternly chastised them.

His call awakened the many cultivators.

“Damn, how did I end up here!”

“It's the secret technique of the Buddhist Sect, that monk forcibly converted me back then, counting the days, it's been thirty years!”

“Damn, three decades mean nothing, I came to the Buddhist Sect seeking a herb to cure my mother's illness, I was in my prime when I came, and in a blink, my hair turned white, needless to say about my mother, she must have met with misfortune, the Buddhist Sect deceived me, the monks deceived me!”

“To hell with the Buddhist Sect… it was Master Nicholas who saved us, he used the Buddhist scriptures and secret chants to pull us out from the attack of the Power of Faith!”

“Thank you, Master, if not for the Master, for the rest of our lives we might have been blindly used by the Buddhist Sect without even knowing it!”

Amidst the city, cries and howls erupted. Huazi's aura cleansed their bodies of the Power of Faith, calling back memories of past years. Learning about such a wide gap in their lives, which they lived under unclear circumstances for over a decade, even up to several decades, is unbearable for anyone who knows the truth.

“Amitabha, well indeed, well indeed, although the Buddha of the Western Continent is not compassionate, fortunately, my Buddha is compassionate. From now on, as long as you devoutly practice and faithfully follow Buddha, Buddha will ensure your continuous ascent!”

“To be honest, the dense white smoke that permeated the sky just now was a Great Divine Power of my Buddha called 'Good Goods Pavilion.' This Divine Power not only enhances enlightenment but also cleanses all negative emotions in the Divine Soul, and the Power of Faith within you was cleansed through it.”

Ergouzi aptly said,
“Thank you, Master, for lending a hand. We knew there's true compassion among humans, justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent. Master, your heart is full of benevolence; you are indeed a true Buddha!”

The cultivators were deeply moved, Ergouzi's actions awakened the people, striking right at their hearts.

“However, having lived in the Golden Wheel Temple for so many years, it won't be easy to eradicate [the influence] overnight. As long as one is within the boundaries of the Western Continent Buddha Nation, the dense Power of Faith is constantly surrounding everyone. If you leave now, I fear that before even exiting the Western Continent, you might once again suffer and become true disciples of the Buddhist Sect.”

“You can't escape!”

“Rather than falling under the Buddhist Sect's control again, it's better to transform into Blood Qi to nourish the might of the Heart of the Blood Demon!”

Li Xiaobai, accompanied by Ji Wuqing, approached from the mountaintop, his body emanating murderous aura, his face filled with mockery, directly pronouncing a death sentence to everyone.

“Evil beast, stop your insolence!”

Ergouzi, with a face of righteous indignation, said: “Buddha has already prepared a countermeasure, having concocted a Magic Treasure sufficient to counteract the Power of Faith, Huazi. As long as you have it by your side, living within the Buddha Nation for numerous years is not a problem. How could the mercy of Buddha be something you, a brute, can understand!”

One man and one dog, in front of the city's cultivators, played good cop bad cop, dumbfounding the cultivators. What the Blood Demon Sect expert said was exactly what they were thinking indeed; the Power of Faith in the Buddha Nation was overly strong. Even if they were from a small border country not too far from the outskirts, the moment they left the city and stepped out of the white mist, they would be converted within moments, having no power to resist.

But they also understood Ji Wuqing's implication–there seemed to be a way to cope?

“Master Nicholas, why would you say such a thing?”

“Huazi, what is that?”

“The Power of Faith of the Buddhist Sect has been forming for over a thousand years, accumulated over generations, piled up layer by layer, it has become an immovable colossus. Do you still have a way for us to survive in such an environment?”

A cultivator asked.

“Amitabha, Buddha never imposes on others; although the Power of Faith within this Buddha Nation is dangerous, it is equally a blessing. Cultivating under this force yields twice the result with half the effort. The only flaw is that if one's Divine Soul isn't strong enough, they will be converted. Today, Buddha has brought something that can keep you clear-minded, Huazi!”

“Please look, once lit, this item also releases a bit of white smoke, purifying the mind and brightening the eyes. Although it is a one-time use product, the good thing is there are plenty of them. One stick costs only a hundred top-grade Immortal Stones. With Huazi, you can cultivate freely within the Buddha Nation, easily making up for the gaps in your cultivation over the years!”

“Now, starting with the Golden Wheel Temple, all major temples have them available for purchase. They are in ample supply and readily available, what are you waiting for?”

Ergouzi, holding onto a stick of Huazi, puffed away in front of the cultivators, making them envious with his clouds of smoke.

Li Xiaobai pretended to be furious: “Damn it, saving them is useless, once they leave the Western Continent, my Blood Demon Sect will surely kill them. Looking all over the world today, aside from the Sword Sect of the Eastern Continent, my Blood Demon Sect fears no one!”

Ergouzi disdainfully said: “They're but prisoners at your feet, ignore them. You all, quickly go to various temples to buy, there are many benefits.”

“Thank you, Master!”

The cultivators collectively thanked him, unconsciously etching another name in their hearts–Sword Sect of the Eastern Continent!
