Chapter 562: Chapter 238: Military Weapons Kill Buddha

The ground inside the Buddhist hall could not support the weight of the old monk, which had been multiplied several times by gravity, and it cracked and sank, forming a small pothole.

And within that pothole, a pair of blood-red eyes suddenly opened.

The sound they made was so discomforting that it provoked an instinctive physiological reaction in the listener.

Under the Azure Flame mask, Li Changhe raised his eyebrows.

He sensed a hint of danger, so he clenched his left fist, compressing his domain.

He wanted to crush this monster to pieces with the Pressure Throne.

However, one of the intact beads on the monster’s neck suddenly shattered.

With a crisp sound, the pressure that had pinned the old monk to the ground disappeared instantly.

"It’s been broken; that bead can break curses!" As he felt the effect of his skill disappear, Li Changhe quickly pulled the trigger in his hand.

At the same time, the Breath of Thunder was activated, and arcs of electricity surged, causing him to retreat at high speed.

Just a few milliseconds after he left his original position, a malformed arm full of fleshy tumors smashed down, its force causing the dirt and ash in the entire Buddhist hall to be flung into the air.

"I really don’t want people to see me like this," he muttered as he climbed out of the deep pit amidst the raised dust, extracting a silver bullet from the fleshy tumor on his forehead.

Incredibly, at such a close distance, a shot to his forehead hadn’t killed him.

"Ah, what a stubborn kid," Li Changhe lamented that his new tactics had already failed at their first encounter with the enemy.

The Pressure Throne was a very powerful effect but also had significant limitations.

During the release, the caster cannot move. Once they move, the skill is deactivated.

So, Li Changhe designed a tactical plan to use the Pressure Throne to constrain the enemy’s movement and follow it up with a deadly long-range attack.

Ironically, Li Changhe was an archer.

Long-range attacks were his forte, so this tactic suited him well.

Unfortunately, he had come across a stubborn child who could break curses; the Pressure Throne’s effect had been nullified, and the bullet from the Magic Bullet Shooter Rifle hadn’t dealt much damage to him.

"I need to be cautious when facing enemies in the future. Otherwise, if they suddenly break my skills while I’m still standing in place, I’ll be full of vulnerabilities," Li Changhe pondered while observing the old monk’s transformation.

Now, the old monk’s skin was gray-white, his eyes blood-red, his fingers had turned into horn-like claws, and disgusting fleshy tumors pulsated and deflated beneath his robe.

It was as if he was a monster wearing human skin, something underneath wanted to break out of the skin.

This nauseating and disgusting feeling only caused an instinctive physiological aversion for Li Changhe when he faced the indigenous people on the Mysterious Island.

Yes, only those who devoured humans made him feel that way.

At this moment, the old monk spoke up.

"Benefactor, why must you block my path to redemption and force me to break my vow against killing?" His eyes were red, his expression full of compassion, causing an uncomfortable sense of disgust and panic.

"Redemption?" Li Changhe threw the Magic Bullet Shooter Rifle back into his backpack and took out the Jet Mo Blade. "That’s absurd. I suppose, for the sake of your so-called path to redemption, you don’t mind how many people die senselessly? Fine, in that case, I’ll take the trouble to make sure you die here!"

He was right; Evolution Game had given three task objectives.

As long as one of them was completed, the task would be considered completed.

Kill Master of Confession/Break Creation Furnace/Escape as is.

Among them, the least energy-consuming option was the last one.

If Li Changhe were to initiate the Indomitable Ride of Hundred Tigers, it wouldn’t be that difficult for him and Boxer to escape Rain Village under the army’s cover.

From a logical standpoint, this would be the preferred safe option for [Players].

Of course, some players would join forces with these people to obtain such technology, like the priest last night.

But Li Changhe did not want to let this kind of person live, so he decided to put up with a bit more trouble.

The old monk shook his head slightly. "The last person who said that to me was an extraordinary Daoist I encountered."

"It seems that the extraordinary one didn’t succeed."

"But her flesh was very tender," the old monk reminisced, licking his lips. "Speaking of which, I’ve never eaten a player before."

"Oh, you didn’t eat the priest last night? You think he had body odor?"

"After all, the identity of you players is very precious, and I don’t want to be tainted with the player’s fate."

Heh, it was just a fear of death.

Considering it, hiding in this Rain Village was safer for him than becoming a [Player], entering various tasks, and making contact with various forces or authorities.

If, during a mission, he encountered someone like the Moon God, with an overwhelming sense of justice, he probably wouldn’t be able to return.

As for the player’s identity being precious, it was probably something to be traded with someone... The player’s identity would sell well. It was very likely the Tianyan Association.

When he was done torturing him later, Li Changhe could slowly confirm this.

"I thought you monks didn’t have such worldly desires, but then again, you’re eating people." Li Changhe said, "So, if I lose, will I also have my limbs broken and be dragged out to be sold?"

"No, you’re too dangerous. I wouldn’t dare to hold back; I’ll give my all to defeat you. I might accidentally kill you, and that would taint me with the player’s fate. Of course, in doing so, I might be able to taste a player for once." The fleshly tumors on the old monk’s body began to pulsate. Seeing that Li Changhe had already assumed an attacking stance, he advised, "Benefactor, it is unwise to engage in close combat with an extraordinary Buddhist."

He wasn’t worried that Li Changhe would escape from here.

Although the Buddhist hall appeared ancient, it contained a mysterious array, and no outsider could leave or enter this room without his permission.

In order not to be seen fighting, he spent a great deal of effort to achieve this.

This was the main reason why the black-robed priest failed to escape the Buddhist hall last night.

"Could a man-eating dog like you really become an extraordinary Buddhist?" Li Changhe laughed, "I guess those who have no hope of reaching the extraordinary in their lifetimes must be furious."

At the same time, he switched Title Skills. He verbally provoked, but Li Changhe would never underestimate any enemy.

The original plan was to infiltrate Rain Village, kill Luo Qiao, and then use the cover of the Indomitable Ride of Hundred Tigers to withdraw.

Now, having faced the strongest enemy here, there was no need to maintain secrecy any longer.

Hundred-Headed Shooter, activate!

However, the old monk fell silent when he heard it - he had become an extraordinary monk by breaking his vow against killing and eating meat during his years of ascetic practice on the mountain, and it was a cruel joke for him to achieve this status through his dealings with the Tianyan Association.

"Perhaps this is fate," he whispered, as a bloody killing intent filled the entire hall.

"And your fate ends here!"

A shrill sound, like the ringing of a bell, echoed from under the Azure Flame mask.

The old monk was stunned. Although he was already a monster, he now showed a look of fear.

For an even greater monster had descended upon the world!
