Novel Bin Chapter 773 - A Warning From That Man
Chapter 773 A Warning From That Man
In an instant, the force field in the air broke down.
The young man with blonde hair covered his wound with the other hand, stepped back in horror, screamed with pain, and roared angrily, “Who attacked me? Show yourself...”
Hiss!
Another silver thread flashed through the void.
The other arm of the young man instantly fell off.
“Ah...” He staggered backward, and his face turned deathly pale.
His companions recovered from the shock and rushed over to him.
“Who ambushed us?”
“John, John, hold on...”
They helped the young man with blonde hair, stood around him with their backs to each other, and glanced around vigilantly, looking shocked and angry.
“Who is it? Hiding in the dark to launch sneak attacks is despicable. Show yourself.”
The young man with blonde hair was on the verge of passing out, but he still put up a tough front. He roared furiously as he tried to endure the pain.
Before his voice died away...
Another silver thread flashed in the void.
One of his legs fell off.
“Ah...” He screamed miserably as his blood spurted forth like a fountain and then he passed out.
The other white people were scared out of their wits.
“What kind of skill is this?”
The female soldier stepped back slowly. She could not understand what happened either.
That silver thread was as sharp as the scythe of death. With a flash, it cut off the blond-haired young man’s arms and leg so easily. It was really terrifying. She had felt the young man’s strength and believed that he must be a Natural Expert. However, he was as feeble as a lamb when he encountered the attack of the silver thread.
The only thing worth rejoicing was that the silver thread only targeted white people. “The person using it seems to be a friend instead of an enemy.”
Just then, her comrades’ calls came through her earphones.
The military reinforcements would arrive soon.
“Who is it? Show yourself.”
Another white man from the Fierce Tiger Gang shouted in shock and anger.
Before his voice faded away...
A rock spike suddenly emerged from the ground. The white man’s body was pierced through and raised by the rock spike to a height of over ten meters. He looked as if he had been hung on a stake. Blood flowed down the rock spike, and the white man struggled for a while before he passed out.
“What?”
“Run!”
“Hurry up!”
The other members of the Fierce Tiger Gang suddenly fell apart.
“What kind of means is this? He is as terrifying as a devil!”
However...
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
The remaining members of the Fierce Tiger Gang were pierced through and raised into the air by several rock spikes protruding from the ground. They looked like sugar-coated haws on a stick.
Ah...
“Who is it? Mercy!”
“Help me...”
They begged for mercy as they struggled desperately like shrimps on a barbeque skewer, but they could not free themselves. Blood flowed down the rock spikes.
At the same time, a row of rocks slowly emerged from the ground in front of the rock spikes.
“Foreign practitioners who enter the Mogao Caves will die.”
These were the words engraved on the rocks protruding from the ground.
Those rocks looked a little out of place, but combined with the members of Fierce Tiger Gang hung on tens of rock spikes behind them, they appeared to be very convincing.
Such a scene completely stunned the practitioners serving in the army, who came here to provide support, the female soldier, and the others.
“What kind of method is this? It’s simply terrifying.”
As Spiritual Qi revived in this world, all kinds of practitioners emerged. Some practitioners claimed to have mastered the power to travel underground, and some practitioners from the western world had mastered magic arts, such as those used to launch surprise attacks with rock spikes. However, their power was limited. It seemed impossible for them to wipe out the members of Fierce Tiger Gang in an instant.
“Ah, ah, who on earth is it?”
“Who is it?”
Several members of the Fierce Tiger Gang who hadn’t died yet roared furiously.
The female soldier and her comrades also wanted to know the answer.
Suddenly, a voice rang out in the Mogao Caves.
“All practitioners other than those from Hero Country, listen up! Get the hell out of Dunhuang within half an hour. Otherwise... I’ll kill all of you.”
The voice rumbled like thunder and echoed between heaven and earth.
Everyone within a radius of hundreds of miles around Dunhuang city heard this voice.
In the sky, the clouds rolled across the skies, the wind blew at a hurtling speed and rumbles of thunder echoed continuously.
The voice contained godlike power. Upon hearing the voice, the faces of all practitioners in Dunhuang suddenly changed. It resonated between heaven and earth with a kind of majesty that made all the people tremble with fear and permeated the air within Dunhuang City.
The female soldier and her comrades stood there, dumbstruck and rooted to the spot.
“This voice seems to be... from the young man in white sportswear who entered the secret realm just now. Is it him? Ah, he looks a little familiar to me. I seem to have seen him somewhere.”
A ray of light flickered in the female soldier’s mind.
“Is he on our side?” One of her comrades asked in confusion.
The other soldiers looked at each other.
“Judging from his tone, he seems to be a citizen of Hero Country.”
“Can there be such a powerful person in our country?”
“Don’t forget that there once was a God of Martial Arts in our country.”
“Li Mu, the God of Martial Arts.”
As the soldiers discussed, their faces beamed with joy.
When the female soldier heard that, something flashed across her mind like a streak of lightning. She suddenly remembered it and said, “It’s him. It’s really him... Yes, it’s the God of War.”
……
……
“All practitioners other than those of Hero Country, listen up! Get the hell out of Dunhuang within half an hour. Otherwise... I’ll kill all of you.”
Upon hearing those words, Tang Tian and other disciples of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance suddenly felt their blood boiling.
Those words contained strong, mysterious power. Every time a word was uttered, an irresistible force swept through the space between heaven and earth, the wind blew, the clouds rolled, and thunder rumbled. The entire Dunhuang City was shrouded in a vast field of willpower. The wind, thunder, clouds, and lightning in the sky were all manifestations of this willpower.
Those words were like the law.
The law followed those words.
It was godlike power.
After Li Mu said those words, he did not stay outside the Mogao Caves any longer. Instead, he led Tang Tian and other disciples into the world of flying sand in front of them.
Tang Tian and the other disciples felt that everything in front of them was dry and yellow. They couldn’t see anything and didn’t know where they were.
Yellow sand flew everywhere and blotted out the sky.
The sands overflowed in the sky like yellow seawater. They turned into various terrifying ghosts, skeletons, and monsters, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, and flew toward Tang Tian and the other disciples, accompanied by faint ghostly howls in the strong wind. Tang Tian and other disciples felt as if they had suddenly entered the netherworld.
“Disperse.”
Li Mu’s voice rang out.
Suddenly, the yellow sand receded and the wind stopped.
Li Mu, Tang Tian, and the other disciples arrived at the Mogao Caves. A large cliff stretched for thousands of meters, and its surface was covered with many caves of various sizes. A long, winding, man-made wooden staircase connected all the caves. The wooden doors of some caves were open, the doors of some caves had been destroyed, and some other caves’ wooden doors were tightly shut.
The Mogao Caves consisted of over 700 caves. Back then, to protect the cultural relics, some caves were no longer open for tourists to visit, so their doors were shut all year round. Those tourists who bought tickets could only see a little more than ten caves.
Most of the closed caves were not suitable for tourists to visit.
However, the practitioners who came to search for treasures did not care that much.
Some practitioners must have entered the caves whose wooden doors had been destroyed.
“Do you know which cave Director Song, Lu Xun, and the others went to explore?” Li Mu asked.
Tang Tian shook his head.
Li Mu said, “It looks like we have to search the caves one by one, and along the way, we can clean up the vermin that had sneaked into the caves... Let’s go.”
They came to the nearest cave which was not closed. There was a signboard beside the door...
220.
This was Cave No. 220.
Behind the door was a cave with a very large diameter. After entering the door, they saw a light curtain in front of them. They passed through the light curtain, and the scenery behind it was totally different. They came to a blue sea with rippling waves under the blue sky. The scenery was beautiful.
They saw tall Buddhist stone pillars and towering palaces on the distant beach.
It seemed that they had arrived at an ancient Buddhist kingdom depicted in ancient Buddhism myths and legends.
Tang Tian and the others’ eyes widened in awe.
The sounds of Buddhist chants and wisps of incense smoke wafted through the air. Every blade of grass, tree, stream and building had the benevolent nature and aura of the Buddha. The atmosphere made people feel comfortable, relaxed, and refreshed, forgetting all their worries and sorrows. It made them want to cast off all the shackles in the mundane world and join the Buddhahood.
No one had expected that there would be such a beautiful small world behind the cave.
Li Mu felt that the scenery in front of him was a little familiar.
He observed the scenery carefully and gradually understood it.
“It is the world of the Amitabha Sutra.”
The illustrations of the Amitabha Sutra were images in the frescoes in the Mogao Caves that were depicted in the Amitabha Sutra, one of the three principle Pure Land sutras. They were frescoed on the stone wall by the craftsmen who built the cave, and they were vivid and lifelike.
“To enter this cave is to come to the world of the Amitabha Sutra. In other words, we have entered the world depicted in the frescoes in this cave...”
Li Mu suddenly understood everything. Rumor had it that every one of the Mogao Caves was a small secret world. It turned out that it was because the world depicted in the frescoes in each cave actually came to life. The practitioners who entered a cave actually walked into the space depicted in the frescoes in the cave.
“The Mogao Caves include over 700 caves with thousands of frescoes. Does that mean there are thousands of small worlds in the Mogao Caves?
“This is quite interesting.
“These small worlds are completely different from other secret realms that I have seen.”
“Look, what’s that?”
Tang Tian suddenly exclaimed in surprise as he pointed into the distance.
Li Mu looked over and saw a dead body lying on the beach in the distance.
They walked over to view the corpse.
It was the dead body of a bald, strong man from some foreign country. Except for a blood spot between his eyebrows, there were no other wounds on his body. Obviously, he had been killed by a very powerful master.
Li Mu didn’t say anything. He released his Divine Consciousness to explore this world.
This world in the frescos was much bigger than he had imagined.
Along the way, they saw a lot of dead bodies of foreigners and the people of Hero Country, including the disciples of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance. Tang Tian and the others were extremely sad. They gathered the bodies of their brothers in arms and planned to take them out of this secret realm and hand them over to their families.
Boom!
The ground in front of them shook.
The eyes of Tang Tian and the others widened in shock.
A bare-armed and barefooted Buddha wearing the Kashaya suddenly stood up among the buildings in the distance and slowly walked toward them.
When they saw him earlier, they thought he was just a giant Buddha statue. They didn’t expect that he would suddenly come to life.
“Amitabha. Are you extraterritorial demons? I’m going to kill you!”
The Buddha opened his eyes, stared at Li Mu and the others, and strode toward them like a giant spirit with a strong aura. As he walked, his feet crushed the surrounding buildings into powder.
