Intent Rises

Before he came in, Xu Bai had thought of many possibilities. For example, a fierce battle, or someone was running away. The worst case scenario was that he had to be polite before using force.
The worst case scenario was that there was a bunch of people waiting for them inside.
However, it was clear that his conjecture was not true.
When he kicked open the door and walked in with Yun Zihai, he realized that it was empty inside. There was no one there.
The courtyard was dark. Other than the occasional breeze, there was no sound.
Yun Zihai looked at Bai Bai, spun the brush in his hand and drew a horizontal line in the air.
After the horizontal line appeared, it floated in the air without any ripples.
“The surrounding barriers haven’t been broken. Either there’s no one here, or they’re still inside. “Yun Zihai waved his sleeves and wiped away the horizontal line in front of him.
Behind the door, other than a courtyard, there was a simple hall. The door of the hall was also open. Under the bright moonlight, one could see a clay Buddha statue in the hall.
The courtyard was empty, and one could see the end of it with one glance. It was obvious that there was nothing unusual here.
Since there was no one in the courtyard, there was only the main hall in front of him.
“Let’s go in and take a look?” Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.”
Yun Zihai thought for a moment, gripped the brush in his hand, and nodded.”Alright.”
The pages floated around his body, wrapping him up in layers.
There were no other clues now. There was only this main hall left. They could only go in and take a look.
Xu Bai circulated his Quintessential Essence, and the black light that came with the Vajra Heart Fiend Body became even more conspicuous.
The two of them looked at each other and walked out of the hall.
The clay statue sitting in the hall was very simple. It was as if it had been randomly made into a shape and then simply carved on its head.
The carving technique was very simple. The facial features were very ordinary and seemed very rough. If it was not for the position of the facial features, it would be difficult to tell what it was referring to.
It was like a five or six-year-old child casually drawing a shape on it.
Of course, only the eyes were carved in detail. Other than that, there was nothing unusual about this clay Buddha statue.
His eyes were closed, and he looked like a Buddha with his eyes closed.
“Brother Xu, this is bad.” Yun Zihai turned his head and said,”l know who this so-called monk is.”
Xu Bai didn’t say a word. His grip on Ghost Head Blade tightened.
When Yun Zihai had said the word ‘bad,’ he had felt a faint killing intent surrounding him. The darkness around him had become even darker under the stirring of the killing intent.
Just this killing intent alone was enough to tell what the so-called bad situation meant. Xu Bai looked left and right a few times, and his frown deepened.
Many things would not cause too much of a sense of danger if they were put on the surface, but the danger hidden in the dark was the most troublesome.
“Here.” Yun Zihai pointed at the clay sculpture sitting high in the temple and said,””Ghost Sculptor.”
Xu Bai followed Yun Zihai’s hand and looked over. His gaze happened to stop at the position of the clay Buddha statue.
At this moment, he did not ask what the so-called ghost sculptor meant because he felt that this clay Buddha statue had undergone a particularly obvious change.
It was not particularly obvious in other places, except for the pair of eyes that were carved with extraordinary detail. They slowly opened in the darkness.
This pair of eyes was originally closed, giving people a very peaceful feeling. Moreover, because it was a Buddha statue, other than peace, it also gave people peace of mind.
However, as the eyes of the clay Buddha statue slowly opened, the peaceful feeling disappeared and was replaced by a murderous aura.
A murderous aura filled the entire hall. Xu Bai finally knew where the faint killing intent came from.
The clay statue opened its eyes, revealing its killing intent!
Murderous intent surged like a tide, and Xu Bai felt that his surroundings were cold.
The ground began to shake. He looked at the courtyard.
The ordinary-looking yard began to crack, and clay sculptures crawled out one after another.
These clay sculptures were vivid and lively, and their joints were abnormally flexible. Most importantly, each clay sculpture looked different.
One had to know that when carving clay sculptures, the division of appearance was very important. To make every clay sculpture different, it took time to carve.
These clay sculptures gave Xu Bai the feeling that they were real people.
“Brother Xu, be careful!” Yun Zihai reminded.
As he finished speaking, the clay Buddha statue in the hall suddenly changed.
Cracks covered the entire body of the clay Buddha statue like a spider web. In the blink of an eye, it turned into yellow soil.
However, after turning into yellow soil, the killing intent did not decrease. Instead, it increased. It only transferred from the clay Buddha statue to the clay statue outside.
The bright moonlight shone on the clay sculpture, giving it an extremely strange feeling.
Right at this moment, the group of clay statues moved. With a murderous aura, they rushed towards Xu Bai and Yun Zihai.
Dozens of clay sculptures actually rushed out with the aura of an army.
Yun Zihai was the first to attack. He waved the brush in his hand gently, and the pages around him fluttered. The words on the pages appeared and suppressed the clay sculptures in front of him.
However, this clay sculpture seemed to be invulnerable. When the words landed on it, they stirred up waves of dust, but the damage they caused was limited.
Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and gripped his Ghost Head Blade tightly.
He was still very clear about Yun Zihai’s strength.
The attack just now was extraordinary, but the defense of this clay statue was surprisingly high..
