Chen Shi wielded the sword with light, piercing through the head of the Blood Buddha!
The Blood Buddha cried out in pain and disappeared into the Blood Lake, leaving no trace.
This was their first time activating the Ten Absolute Formation, and they hadn't expected its power to be so astonishing, but the consumption was immense—nearly all the cultivation of the two hundred and fifty-five people was exhausted!
They passed by the Blood Lake, rested for a night under a giant Buddha, ate some beef and horse meat to restore some cultivation, and then continued on their journey.
In a valley, they encountered an attack from a group of frenzied Shuras again. This time, Chen Shi was more cunning and didn't activate the full Ten Absolute Formation but simplified it into a dozen smaller formations, with each scholar mastering six or seven types of talismans, coordinating with each other.
After a fierce battle, they beat the Shuras to the ground, leaving them immobile.
