Chapter 873 - Siming
Li Huowang sensed the ever-increasing False Qi and then looked at the enemies he was powerless against. He quickly made a decision.
He turned his back to the approaching army of Unspeakable, quickly scanning the crowd to find Feng Bawan.
Li Huowang forcibly dragged him out and excitedly said, “Hurry, make them shout! Make everyone follow your lead and shout!”
“Shout... shout what?” Feng Bawan, who was holding half a brick, was momentarily confused.
“Shout what you just said! Get everyone to join in and shout! Quickly!”
Before Feng Bawan could react, a few students from the Minglun Hall understood Li Huowang’s intention and immediately bowed. “We’ve received your orders!”
The students shouted words of praise for Li Huowang, and everyone behind them began to follow suit. Each shout was echoed by thousands more.
“The Dao is selfless and virtuous. The compassionate Zhuge Yuan saves those in suffering!”
“The Dao is selfless and virtuous. The compassionate Zhuge Yuan saves those in suffering!”
The phrases used by Minglun Hall were naturally more refined than Feng Bawan’s crude speech, but Li Huowang didn’t care about the elegance of their words—his sole focus was the amount of False Qi.
As he felt the massive influx of False Qi, he knew he had found a way to win!
“Chan Du! Keep them occupied for a while! I still need more!”
Chan Du, the abbot of the Righteous Monastery, didn’t ask any questions. He calmly turned his prayer beads, decisively leading the Surveillance Bureau and military forces of the Great Qi toward the army of Unspeakable, even though he knew they weren’t a match for them.
“Don’t stop! Keep shouting!”
Li Huowang had convinced everyone that he was the Bodhisattva. He also used up a portion of the False Qi to appear several taller in their eyes.
Some of them became even more enthusiastic when they saw Li Huowang sitting cross-legged like a true Buddha. They continued to shout along with the students, their voices growing increasingly fervent.
While the people of the Great Qi couldn’t defeat the foreign beings, they could still buy time with their lives.
Amidst the chaos, the chanting of the two Shai Zis began to reach its climax.
“If beings in distress call your name, the Great One listens and relieves their suffering. Great compassion and vows, great holy mercy. The Holy Spirit, mighty light, the Heavenly Queen, Saint Marici, Sovereign Doulao!”
When the final title was uttered, the six-sided numbers on their faces detached from their bodies. They were wrapped in purple light, disappearing into the dark, gloomy clouds above.
In the next moment, both Li Huowangs looked up simultaneously and shouted in unison, “Doulao, come quickly! I’m returning the Heavenly Daos of Truth and Lies to you!”
This was the Heavenly Treasure of Deception of the Sitting Oblivion Dao. Since their abilities were so bizarre, he would summon the true Siming and see if these hundred-odd people had the power to defeat Doulao!
Whoosh! The dark clouds in the sky began to churn violently.
In contrast to the changes in the sky, the ground also started to change. Its texture became peculiar, as if it had turned into some kind of liquid.
Li Huowang looked up and saw a yin-yang taiji fish high above, resembling a sun in the sky.
Li Huowang knew Doulao was coming and shouted, “Everyone, get on the ground! Close your eyes and cover your ears tightly!”
At his command, everyone from the Great Qi immediately complied, promptly laying themselves down on the ground.
Those lying on the ground moved like seaweed on the water’s surface and drifted with the waves.
When Li Huowang looked up again, the sight became clearer—two vast seas of black and white intertwining. Doulao had truly arrived.
The vast seas on either side were not Doulao. What lay beneath the seas was Doulao.
Li Huowang could feel himself melting, and his senses gradually faded.
The two Li Huowangs covered their heads with pained expressions and cursed at the sky, “Why the hell are you looking at me? The enemies are those things! Get rid of them!”
