"Fighting demons!"
The Unraging monk was alarmed. As the first successor of the Demon Suppression Statuary, he had once investigated the origins of this powerful demonfolk through the convenience of watching over the Demon Suppression hall. His understanding of the Demon domain was much deeper than regular people.
Demonfolk seemed to come in all shapes and sizes, especially after demonifying, where there was nothing they could not imagine or see, but they were actually divided into many races of various sizes. The powerful demonfolk who created the Demon Suppression Statuary came from the renowned "War Demons" of the Demon domain.
The War Demons were loyal to Qiangliang, one of the twelve Demon Gods. They were known for their ferocity and belligerence, and their state of demonification was completely different from regular demonfolk. They would condense a huge war demon behind them, which was rather similar to the golden avatar of buddhism. It was just like Li Qingshan's current state.
"This is also the Demon Suppression Statuary?"
The Dauntless monk said in doubt. He had never practised the Demon Suppression Statuary, but he could tell that Li Qingshan was basically even more vicious than regular Demon Kings. He did not possess even the slightest bit of buddhist nature anymore. There was only a naked demonic nature.
"This …" The Unraging monk hesitated slightly. He never thought that not only would Li Qingshan fail to practise the Demon Suppression Statuary, but he would instead take the opposite path and become the War Demon King.
"Monks don't lie! This has to do with the entire monastery!" The Dauntless monk said sternly. The mighty Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga had actually produced a disciple of a Demon King. That was a colossal joke!
"No," the Unraging monk said. All the Unraging monk could do was say that. He also knew that the original version of the Demon Suppression Statuary might exist, but he was unable to understand how Li Qingshan had derived the Demon Suppression Statuary to such a level in such a short amount of time. This did not make any sense at all.
"He's your disciple. Don't forget what you said just now. Buddhism is vast, but it can't contain a Demon King!" the Dauntless monk said.
"I'll go down." The Unraging monk strode into the Demon Suppression hall.
"Don't alarm him. Bring back a lamp first."
… …
Booms rang out constantly. Li Qingshan experimented with his new power as he continued to derive the Demon War Statuary.
"Saber!"
Li Qingshan waved his hand, and the War Demon also waved his arm. Demonic Qi surged and condensed into a giant blade, which slashed down.
Dang! With a thunderous sound, a deep crack appeared on the ground, and a gale swept in all directions.
Li Qingshan's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, it was much more powerful than the Chains of Demon Suppression, and he had only managed to derive sixty or seventy percent of the Demon War Statuary. If he could derive it all, it would definitely be even more powerful. If he faced an opponent like Si Qing again, even if he did not use the Nine Transformations of Demons and Gods, he would still be able to win easily.
This was not only because the Fighting Devil Statuary placed more emphasis on destructive power than the Demon Suppression Statuary, but also because the Fighting Devil Statuary was more suited to his temperament. The murderous aura of the Tiger Demon was enough to bring out the might of this cultivation method by one hundred and twenty percent, or even fifteen percent. However, it was inconvenient to test it in the Demon Suppression Hall.
"You … you became the Demon King?!"
The One Lamp monk's robes ruffled in the fierce wind. He stuttered slightly. He had no idea which he should be more surprised about. He had undergone the third heavenly tribulation, or he had become a demonfolk!
"Cultivation is all about being fast, or how are you supposed to kill the Soaring Locust King?"
Li Qingshan smiled. His voice was still rather calm and composed, but the War Demon behind him roared out, filled with killing intent and fighting spirit as if it was expressing his inner thoughts. The two voices overlapped, forming a wondrous rhythm.
"Kill the Soaring Locust King!"
The One Lamp monk was taken aback. He had overcome his inner demons and was close to breaking through the third heavenly tribulation, but he really was not bold enough to say he could kill the Soaring Locust King. The difference between them was just far too great.
"Was everything I said earlier for nothing? Why do you want to become stronger? Isn't it just to kill powerful enemies and take revenge? Why don't you even have the determination to do that? "
Li Qingshan waved his hand, and the War Demon pointed its huge blade at the One Lamp monk.
The One Lamp monk was taken aback. He had yet to adapt to Li Qingshan's rules of survival, but his hatred towards the Soaring Locust King was as great as the mountains. He said loudly, "I do!"
"Don't listen to his nonsense. Becoming stronger is for the sake of understanding one's own nature and purging demons and protecting the righteous path, not for revenge!" The Unraging monk suddenly appeared and patted the One Lamp monk's shoulder with his huge, fan-like hand.
"Unraging senior uncle!" The One Lamp monk bowed in a hurry.
"I'm very relieved that you've overcome your inner demons, but don't be blinded by hatred, or it'll be another inner demon!" the Unraging monk said earnestly.
"I'll take your teachings to heart!" The One Lamp monk reflected on himself in a hurry. Now this was what he was used to saying.
"What difference does it make? Understanding one's own nature is hatred. Purging demons and protecting the righteous path is slaughter. "
Li Qingshan said in disagreement, while the War Demon roared out even louder.
"Putting the cart before the horse!" The Unraging monk rebuked furiously, immediately drowning out the War Demon's roars.
Li Qingshan was slightly taken aback. He had known the Unraging monk for so long, but he had never seen him so furious before. He really did give off a shocking aura. As it seemed, no matter how casual this eminent monk was normally, he still had his principles. However, he never liked arguing with others. With a clang, the War Demon rested the huge blade on his shoulder.
"You're not in the right, so what are you yelling for?"
"Li Qingshan, I told you to practise the Demon Suppression Statuary, so what did you practise?" The Unraging monk pointed at the War Demon. Now this was truly putting the cart before the horse.
"This is my understanding of the Demon Suppression Statuary. Are there any problems?"
"Immediately reverse the cultivation method and return to the right path!" the Unraging monk ordered.
"I'm warning you. I might call you master, but I hate it when people tell me what to do the most!" Li Qingshan said in displeasure.
"How dare you! It's all because I've been too lenient with you in the past, which is why you've fallen onto the demonic path. I'll teach you a lesson today, you damned disciple! "
The Unraging monk tossed the One Lamp monk onto the eighth floor with a wave of his hand before taking a step forward. A huge guardian king appeared behind him, scarlet-red like it was forged from copper. It stood over six hundred meters tall, with a crown on its head and ribbons wrapped around its body. Its chest and belly were protruding, giving it a dignified appearance. Although it was condensed from demon qi, there was a faint halo of buddhist light behind its head.
The Unraging monk was once known as the "Monk of Fury", but now, he was known as the "Unraging Guardian King"!
The guardian king wielded the crescent spade and also took a step forward. With a great rumble, the entire Demon Suppression hall seemed to shake.
"Damned fatty, you've lost your mind!"
Li Qingshan had guessed that switching to the Demon War Statuary would make the Dauntless monk frown — this old bastard had always been making trouble for him — but he never thought the Unraging monk's reaction would be so intense.
The Unraging monk bellowed, "The guardian king glares furiously, subduing the four demons!"
The guardian king glared furiously, shining with buddhist light.
Li Qingshan immediately felt restrained and pressured. He knew the Unraging monk's Demon Suppression Statuary had already reached a level of perfection, which was extremely effective against demonfolk. However, he refused to show any weakness. The War Demon swung his blade. "Teach me a lesson? I'm afraid you don't have that ability! "
