Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

235. Chapter 235 [House Of Flying Daggers]!

Chapter 235: "Ambush from All Sides"!

Upon hearing Kong Sheng suddenly mention the "Battle of the Boundaries," Liu Zimo knew that this Confucian scholar was indirectly pleading for those ancient saints.

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Kong Sheng's tone changed and he raised his voice to Liu Zimo, saying, "The Battle of the Boundaries has always been a fight to the death, extremely dangerous! No one knows how many saint-level monsters the Illusory Demon Realm will send. So, if possible, this old man wants to ask Fellow Daoist Liu for a favor. Can you temporarily spare those saints who intend to harm Fellow Daoist?"

"Give them a chance to redeem themselves. Even if they die, let them die with more value. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zimo couldn't help but shake his head and smile lightly.

Repaying kindness with resentment is indeed a good quality.

But unfortunately, Liu Zimo, who had experienced the chaos of the previous apocalypse, had already witnessed too many tragic events where his momentary kindness led to the destruction of himself and even his family.

He had long been accustomed to the survival rule of "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

Those saints actually wanted his life and even planned relentlessly to exterminate him.

Why should he give them a chance and spare their lives?

The Battle of the Boundaries was about to begin, and it was definitely not a reason for Liu Zimo to let go of his hatred and grievances and choose to repay kindness with resentment towards his enemies!

Compared to forgiveness, Liu Zimo was more accustomed to cutting the mess quickly to prevent future troubles!

"Stabilize the internal situation before dealing with external threats!"

"No matter when, I will not expose my back to a group of people who once wanted to harm me."

Liu Zimo spoke calmly and gave his answer.

"Of course, don't say that I'm not giving them a chance."

"If the Confucian scholar can convince them to completely submit to me, offer their own life soul, I am not incapable of considering sparing their lives!"

Upon hearing this, Kong Sheng fell silent instantly.

If he really had a way to convince those stubborn people, why would he act as a double-dealer?

Liu Zimo's words seemed to leave room for negotiation, but in reality, he wanted to exterminate them without leaving any room for mercy!

"It seems that the Confucian scholar doesn't have the confidence to convince them."

Liu Zimo glanced at Kong Sheng lightly and said in a calm voice, "In that case, I will have to use them as sacrifices to the heavens and use the opportunity of their deaths to help the human race improve their cultivation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the moment Liu Zimo left the Tian Di Academy, the void suddenly trembled.

A mournful bell rang out, instantly resounding throughout the entire Earth Realm!

"So fast?!"

Kong Sheng looked up in astonishment. He never expected that within the three breaths since Liu Zimo left the Tian Di Academy, an ancient saint had quietly perished!

Swish!

Swish!

Wu Dao Child and many other elders in the academy appeared beside Kong Sheng, all showing panic on their faces.

"Ancestor, another sign of saintly death has appeared. Did Liu Zimo start a massacre?"

Wu Dao Child asked Kong Sheng in shock.

Kong Sheng shook his head slightly and said, "It's not that Fellow Daoist Liu started a massacre, but the ancient saints wanted to join forces to exterminate Liu Youdao, and Liu Zimo was forced to fight back!"

Wu Dao Child was stunned and looked at the Confucian scholar in disbelief.

Could it be that the Confucian scholar was actually standing on Liu Zimo's side after months of hiding?

"Give the order. Close the mountain gate immediately and activate the protective formation. Without my command, no one is allowed to leave the city!"

"Yes, we will obey the order!"

Wu Dao Child and the others bowed and quickly left.

Since the Confucian scholar had made his final choice, right or wrong, as disciples of the Tian Di Academy, they had no choice but to obey!

"You bastard!"

"Liu Zimo, how dare you wantonly slaughter the saints? What do you intend to do?!"

"Fellow Daoists, do you still want to continue enduring?!"

"Just now, Fellow Daoist Yulian was killed by Liu Zimo. If you don't take action now, the next one might be you!"

"Damn it, after being a turtle for half a year, I can't endure it anymore!"

"Fellow Daoists, it's better to strike while the iron is hot. Instead of waiting behind and relying on some bullshit opportune moment, it's better to stand up now and directly kill him!"

"..."

Finally, with the death of Saint Yulian, the other saints who were hiding and plotting became fearful and worried for their own lives.

In the end, a saint couldn't bear it anymore and directly jumped out, shouting loudly.

Boom!

Twenty-three saints appeared simultaneously in the void, releasing a holy aura that covered the sky and even completely suppressed the signs of holy demise.

Hmm?

The twenty-three saints looked at each other, their faces filled with uncertainty, and a slight sense of unease emerged in their hearts.

"Why are there only twenty-three of us?"

"What about Confucius, Nilin, and Ganyu saints?!"

"We agreed to work together and destroy Liu, why are there only twenty-three of us Fellow Daoists here now?!"

"What about the others?"

"Are they too afraid to come out, or have they secretly surrendered like that spineless old fool Liu Yuan?"

The twenty-three saints simultaneously changed their expressions.

Originally, there were a total of thirty-nine saints involved in the conspiracy. Excluding Saint Yu Lian, who had just died at Liu Zimo's hands, there should still be thirty-eight remaining.

But now, there were only twenty-three of them who had the courage to come out and participate in the operation to destroy Liu.

What were the remaining fifteen doing?

Why didn't even Kong Sheng, who had the highest cultivation among them, come forward in time?

"Enough!"

"A group of timid and cowardly people, if they don't dare to come out, so be it!"

"To deal with a mere Liu Zimo, we have twenty-three true saints, which is more than enough!"

At this moment, Bai Quan, who had a higher cultivation level than the other twenty-two saints, stepped forward and directly took the position of leader from Kong Sheng, saying loudly,

"Fellow Daoists, follow me to descend upon the city of Luozhou and exterminate the Liu clan!"

The arrow was on the string and had to be released.

These people had already completely emerged from the shadows.

They even shouted the slogan of killing Liu Zimo, and there was no room for turning back.

At this point, even if they wanted to discuss further, Liu Zimo would never give them another chance!

Therefore, with Bai Quan's command, the twenty-three saints released their aura, united in their enmity, and in an instant, descended upon the sky above the city of Luozhou.

At this moment, inside the spiritual energy sanctuary outside the city of Luozhou, Saint Liu Yuan, who was in seclusion, sensed the overwhelming aura of the saints and suddenly woke up from his meditation.

He looked up at the sky.

Seeing the twenty-three saints appearing above the city of Luozhou, Saint Liu Yuan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"These people, are they looking for death?"

"Just twenty-three people dare to provoke the freak Liu Zimo, how is this any different from seeking death?"

"Could it be that they really think that having more people means having more power, and that they can kill Liu Zimo, who has already mastered at least twenty major Dao laws?"

Saint Yuanliu shook his head speechlessly, looking at the twenty-three familiar figures, his eyes filled with pity.

If these people had half the wisdom of Confucius, they wouldn't have made such naive and foolish actions.

"Fellow Daoist Yuanliu, I entrust the residents of Luozhou City to you for protection!"

At this moment, Saint Yuanliu received a soul transmission from Liu Zimo.

"Perfect timing, my saint formation is just completed, and I was just looking for someone to test the true power of this 'Ten-Faced Ambush'!"

"Today, let's use the blood and souls of these twenty-three ancient true saints to make a name for this 'Ten-Faced Ambush'!"

Upon hearing this, Saint Yuanliu's heart trembled. He could already sense the bloodthirsty aura akin to a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood hidden within Liu Zimo's seemingly calm words.

Today, those twenty-three true saints standing in the void might really be in grave danger!

Liu Zimo, this little freak, has never been a soft-hearted person.

"With me here, Fellow Daoist can rest assured to face the enemy!"

Taking a deep breath, Saint Yuanliu nodded in response.

With a thought, he brought the three spirit beasts and people like Liu Zihao and Ye Feihong from the secret realm, and moved them all to Luozhou City.

At the same time, the control of the Fire Cloud Palace's mountain gate and dojo was transferred to Saint Yuanliu by Liu Zimo.

With Saint Yuanliu, a top-tier true saint, in control, the safety of Luozhou City, both inside and outside, was guaranteed.

"Everyone, didn't you want to take my head?"

At this moment, Liu Zimo's figure appeared leisurely in the sky above the spiritual energy blessed land.

Looking at the twenty-three saints standing opposite him with disdain, he raised his right hand and beckoned to them with his finger.

"I'm right here, if you have the guts, come at me!"

On the other side.

Seeing Liu Zimo appearing so brazenly, and even arrogantly provoking so many of them, the hearts of the saints trembled, and for a moment, no one dared to take another step forward.

"When things go against the norm, there must be something amiss. Be careful, there might be a trap under his feet. Liu Zimo must have set up an ambush in advance, waiting for us to step into it and fall into his trap!"

"Even if there is a trap, so what? Do we still have a way out now?"

"If we can't completely take down Liu Zimo in one go today, do you think he will easily spare us afterwards?"

"It's just a saint formation after all. With the twenty-three of us true saints gathered together, can't we break a saint-level formation?"

"If you don't want to be held accountable by Liu Zimo and be picked off one by one, then follow me now, crush that formation, and completely kill Liu Zimo!"

As he spoke, Saint Baiquan was the first to fly and charge forward.

Seeing this, the other saints no longer hesitated, following closely behind and directly attacking the area where Liu Zimo was!
