The county soldiers were weak, while the monks were strong and healthy.
The county soldiers killed without blinking an eye, while the monks hesitated more when they killed! After all, how many people would dare to attack and kill a policeman?
Despite this, the monks with their staffs still had the upper hand. After all, they had practiced martial arts for many years, and the terrain also favored them. The army's power simply couldn't be fully utilized!

Chapter 18: Fahai's Heartache and Helplessness
Xu Xian was quite satisfied, watching the monks who kept resisting and the county soldiers who were now really angry.
By this time, both sides had already lost men at the hands of the other, thus sowing the seeds of enmity. Having the blood of county soldiers stained their hands changed the nature of the matter!
With that thought, he waved his hand. Then, a burly man, two meters tall and with an eight-foot waist, appeared shirtless.
He was Xu Xian's head servant, Xu Chu! As for Xu Chu's origins, he was actually a reward issued by the system after completing a mission.
At this moment, Xu Chu was holding an iron rod in his hand, with an iron chain at the other end. At the other end of the chain was a round iron ball about one meter in size.
The surface of the iron ball was covered with barbs half a foot long. At a cursory glance, the entire iron ball weighed tens of thousands of kilograms.
Xu Chu gave a soft shout, gripped the iron rod, and began to spin it. After spinning several times, it picked up speed.
With a swift movement, he aimed at the wall of Jinshan Temple and released it. A deafening roar erupted; the monks and county soldiers nearby felt as if the earth had truly shaken!
With a crash, the sturdy wall, built of large bluestones and standing a zhang high, collapsed instantly!
Then, Xu Xian suddenly raised his head, looked in a certain direction in the sky, and waved his hand. Immediately, all the servants who had remained motionless rushed forward.
Each of these servants cultivates the Human Immortal Martial Path, possessing cultivation levels ranging from the late stage of the first rank to its peak. In an army, they would be equivalent to a centurion!
Therefore, their arrival had a very significant effect. Furthermore, with the walls collapsed, the army's advantages became apparent, and the consequences were obvious.
In an instant, the entire Jinshan Temple was filled with cries of agony. The blood of the monks who had been beaten with sticks was splattered everywhere!
The once solemn and majestic temple was now like a hellish place, filled with the sounds of fighting and the constant killing of monks—it was truly a tragic scene.
"Buddha, open your eyes! Show your power!"
"Grandmaster, save me!"
"Master, I don't want to die!"
"Cuihua, see you in the next life..."
In the distance, or more precisely, at an altitude of ten thousand meters above Jinshan Temple, the distance is actually twenty li.
Here, Fahai is confronting Bai Suzhen!
Early this morning, Fahai miraculously sensed Bai Suzhen's magical power fluctuations, as if she was deliberately revealing them.
Logically speaking, there must be a trap involved. However, Fahai thought that with his superior strength and the Buddha's alms bowl in hand, subduing a snake demon would be a piece of cake.
Therefore, they immediately began searching for Bai Suzhen's figure, and after searching and searching, they found this place.
"Stop! Stop it, all of you!"
Looking at the scene below, Fahai felt like he was going crazy! He really was going crazy! You have to understand, he personally built Jinshan Temple brick by brick back then!
Even the monks below him were his own disciples and grand-disciples, passed down from generation to generation.
I remember that more than a hundred years ago, this place was still very barren and not yet fully developed. Then, I chose this place, built Jinshan Temple, and began to spread the word, bestow blessings, and accumulate merit.
They worked on this for over a hundred years, and that's how they achieved what they have today. But now, it's all over!
What's even more painful is that Fahai accidentally fell into a trap and was trapped inside the barrier, unable to get out at all!
We could only watch helplessly as this unfolded! At the same time, a sense of resentment arose within us towards those gods and Buddhas! Why don't you manifest your divine power before the people and save these devout believers?
Even if we can't confront them head-on, can't we at least send down some rain or wind? Even if we don't want to take direct action, we could at least break the barrier secretly and let me handle it myself!
"You monster, you truly are a monster! You are destined to die a horrible death! A fiend like you deserves only hell!"
At this point, Fahai was no longer willing to pretend to be a compassionate Buddha; he was filled with murderous intent and made no attempt to hide it!
Suddenly, Fahai produced a bowl. This bowl was entirely purple-gold in color, and it was said to be made of purple gold. More importantly, it was the bowl that the Buddha used before he attained enlightenment.
(I've wanted to complain about this for a long time: the alms bowls in Tang Sanzang's and Fahai's are both very valuable. Is this a characteristic of India? Are high-ranking Brahmins begging with golden bowls? Indeed, in the magical land of India, even becoming a monk isn't something just anyone can do!)
As soon as the alms bowl was taken out, it emitted a faint purple aura and beams of Buddhist light, containing various profound Buddhist principles, making it clearly extraordinary.
However, Bai Suzhen was not afraid of him and directly took out a white jade ruyi! It can be said that the jade ruyi, the blue lotus, etc. are typical symbols of Taoism.
"This alms bowl was used by the Buddha in the past, and it contains immense power. Today, I will use it to rid you, you demon!" Fahai said hatefully.
"Hehe, this jade ruyi of mine is a treasure that was used by the legendary Daoist Master. It contains countless profound profound Dao principles, and it is just right to use it to solve your alms bowl problem. It couldn't be simpler."
This jade ruyi was exchanged by Xu Xian from the system. It was a magic weapon of the fifth rank limit, and exchanging for this magic weapon almost emptied his savings.
Fortunately, as the protagonist destined by fate, he is blessed by the Heavenly Dao, so he never lacks luck or anything like that! Even if he does lack it, the Heavenly Dao will quickly make up for it!
The Buddha's alms bowl clashed with the Taoist's Three Treasures Jade Ruyi. Even with Fahai's furious outbursts, Bai Suzhen's magical power was inherently superior, and coupled with the barrier, Fahai's efforts were largely futile. At least for the time being, he couldn't break through!
Feeling the intense magical energy fluctuations in the sky, and seeing Fahai, who was already at a disadvantage and occasionally suffering minor injuries, Xu Xian was very satisfied.
It's retribution, it's all retribution!
