Mortal Mirror

Bai Su and the others saw that although the beggar was powerful, he was outnumbered and quickly beaten to the ground and captured.

Seeing this, Bai Su and the others naturally couldn't ignore it. They urged their horses forward and quickly met up with those people.

Li Tianhai took the lead and said, "Who are you? Why are you arresting a beggar? Oh, wait, he's actually a cultivator."

At this time, Li Tianhai investigated and saw the spiritual energy emanating from the beggar's body. If he wasn't a cultivator, then what was he?

When the beggar saw the attire of Li Tianhai and the others, his face lit up with joy, and he immediately said, "My lords, save me! They are thieves!"

Upon hearing the word "thieves," everyone immediately became alert and looked at the dozens of people in front of them.

Only then did Bai Su discover that these people's eyes were red, as if they had been possessed by demons.

She was slightly surprised in her heart and was ready to take action at any time.

As for that beggar, he was puzzled. He didn't know what kind of magic these bandits used, but when he used his 'Absorption Art' on these people, he couldn't absorb anything.

Their attacks were also very strange, emitting red light from their hands, which made him dizzy and disoriented.

And this person was none other than Huang Batian, who was beaten and driven away by Li Ergou back then. Life is truly wonderful. Who would have thought that when this guy was about to be captured, he would encounter Bai Su and the others?

Bai Su and her group naturally didn't recognize Huang Batian, and only regarded him as an ordinary cultivator.

When the bandits saw that Bai Su and the others were dressed as officers and there were so many of them, they were immediately a little scared. The leader waved his hand, and everyone carried Huang Batian and fled wildly up the mountain.

Seeing this, Li Tianhai waved his hand and said, "Everyone, follow me! I can't believe there are such robbers in Baojing Prefecture. We've done a meritorious service as soon as we arrived here. I'll request rewards for everyone when we go to Baojing Prefecture."

Although Li Tianhai was somewhat joking, if they killed these people, everyone's merits would be guaranteed.

Dealing with some petty thieves was nothing to them, so they rode their horses and chased after them up the mountain.

The bandits were very fast. Their stronghold was on the mountainside. It wasn't long before they could see the houses on the mountainside.

In the stronghold, the bandits who ran back threw the bound Huang Batian directly to the ground, and then summoned all the bandits to defend themselves behind the walls of the stronghold.

Those walls might be able to stop wild beasts, but they were not enough for Li Tianhai and the others.

Li Tianhai and the others arrived in front of the stronghold. He looked at the bandits on the stronghold and, without saying a word, directly ordered an attack. According to the Great Xia law, bandits are only punishable by death, so there was no need to talk nonsense with them, just kill them directly.

Meng Xiaoyu sacrificed his flying sword and unleashed a sword strike. The huge sword light directly blew the stronghold's walls to pieces. What a joke, he was a Golden Core stage cultivator. In his opinion, killing a group of mortals was like playing a game.

After the huge roar, dozens of bandits in the stronghold were killed or injured.

The few bandit leaders were furious. They waved their hands at Meng Xiaoyu, and red lights shot towards Meng Xiaoyu.

Meng Xiaoyu didn't care at all, and was immediately hit by a red light. He never expected that the red light was so strange. After being hit, he felt dizzy, nauseous, and unwell.

He shouted and immediately retreated behind the crowd.

Bai Su and the others were shocked. Meng Xiaoyu said, "Everyone, be careful! That red light is strange. Don't get hit by it."

With Meng Xiaoyu's warning, everyone quickly sacrificed their shields. The red light was powerful, but fortunately, it couldn't penetrate the shields. Bai Su and the others were furious and sacrificed their flying swords, slashing towards the bandits.

The bandits were originally ordinary mortals. They only became so powerful after obtaining the Stone Buddha's magic. At this moment, Bai Su and the others had profound skills, which they couldn't possibly deal with. In the blink of an eye, most of the bandits were killed.

The remaining people carried Huang Batian and ran towards the Stone Buddha.

Soon, Huang Batian saw the Stone Buddha in front of him, which was more than ten feet tall. For some reason, the first time he saw the Stone Buddha, he felt a sense of joy. It wasn't for anything else, but he just felt that the two had an unspeakable sense of common origin.

At this moment, he had recovered from the red light's attack. With a little force, he broke the ordinary ropes.

When the bandits saw this, they wanted to use the red light to attack him again, but Huang Batian, who was prepared, directly shot out several yellow spiritual lights at those people.

The spiritual light was fierce and directly blew those bandits into pieces.

At the same time, he saw the Stone Buddha open its eyes, and two red light beams shot towards him. Huang Batian's eyelids twitched, and he immediately understood what was going on.

He even guessed that this Stone Buddha was the culprit. He immediately dodged, but the Stone Buddha was, after all, an inanimate object and couldn't move.

After failing to hit him, Huang Batian had already circled behind it.

He curled his lips, sneered, and said, "Good, you monster! You dare to plot against me. Go to hell!"

He reached out his hand, hooked his five fingers, turned them into sharp claws, and immediately grabbed the Stone Buddha's lower back. With a puff, his sharp claws grabbed into the Stone Buddha's transformed flesh.

Then, he activated the Profound Yin Dutian Absorption Art, and the power from the Stone Buddha's body was quickly extracted by him.

Huang Batian felt the infinite power and was immediately overjoyed. He didn't expect that this monster's body contained such a thick power. It wasn't impossible for him to break through to the Golden Core stage because of this.

Just as he was feeling great, a voice came from the Stone Buddha's body, "Fellow Daoist, please don't hurt me! We are all the same kind of people. Why kill each other? Why don't we just be good friends? I have a great secret on my body. As long as you don't kill me, I'll tell you."

Before Huang Batian could speak, Bai Su and the others had already rushed over.

Seeing the fierce Bai Su and the others, Huang Batian thought to himself, although this Stone Buddha is powerful, it is also an inanimate object. If it really has a secret, he won't get any benefits if it falls into the hands of these constables. In that case, it's better to take this guy away first.

If it dares to deceive him, he will just absorb it all.

With that thought in mind, he snorted coldly and said, "Okay, I'll take you away. Just don't lie to me, otherwise, I don't mind absorbing you all."

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the Stone Buddha, carried it on his back, and ran wildly into the distance.

When Li Tianhai and the others saw this scene, they were all stunned. At this time, the robbers were like crazy people, pouncing on them.

Bai Su originally wanted to chase after him, but she felt that there might be some conspiracy here. In a flash of thought, Huang Batian had already disappeared without a trace.

In her annoyance, she directly sacrificed her flying sword and killed all the bandits in front of her.

After a while, there was not a single living person in the entire stronghold. They were all slaughtered by this group of people.

Such strongholds usually hide some gold and silver jewelry, so after killing people, they naturally have to search the stronghold.

Before long, a chief constable shouted happily, "My lord, there really is a harvest! Several large boxes!"

Soon, several chief constables moved out six large boxes from a large house in the stronghold. When they opened them, they were all gold and silver jewelry, with silver ingots being the most numerous.

Roughly speaking, they were worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. Wouldn't that be a fortune?

Everyone was very happy to see this scene. Li Tianhai, Bai Su, and Meng Xiaoyu each took a box of jewelry, and the remaining three boxes were divided among the chief constables. Everyone was happy and harmonious.

Only Bai Su was always a little puzzled. She didn't know why the beggar wanted to move the Stone Buddha away. Could it be that the Stone Buddha was some kind of treasure?

Unfortunately, the mountains are full of dense forests, and it is very difficult to find that beggar.

There was no way. After taking the silver, everyone comforted each other and could only give up. Everyone set out again, but this time, everyone was very happy to have obtained the jewelry.

On the other hand, Huang Batian carried the Stone Buddha and ran wildly all the way, fearing that the constables would follow him. This time, he ran for dozens of miles in one breath.

At this moment, he ran to a valley, and seeing that there was no one around, he put the Stone Buddha down.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the Stone Buddha landed, it attacked him.
