Chapter 1694 (Raw 1706): Fighting an Evil Monk
Where did this Buddhist sect evil monk come from? To think that he is so sinister, sneak-attacking me at the most crucial moment.
Xiao Chen did not have time to think. He clashed with the other party"s Buddhist Might, gathering four Cauldron Force as he punched.
"Bang!" The collision of the two fists produced a loud sound, a boundless shock wave surging out.
Xiao Chen clearly saw that monk"s face. It was pale yellow with bronze-colored skin. With one look, it was clear that that monk cultivated the Iron Dharmic Body of the Buddhist sects and possessed an incredibly strong physical body.
"Indeed, as expected, you are not an ordinary half-step Primal Core cultivator. The Vital Qi of your physical body is really astonis.h.i.+ng."
Yan Feng smiled coldly and shouted in a deep voice, "However, you will have to scram back right now!"
After he shouted, his fist light intensified. Surging Vital Qi poured out, pressing over with earth-shattering momentum.
"You are seeking death!"
Enraged, Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and merged his Veritable Essence Energy and Vital Qi, pus.h.i.+ng back fiercely.
Amid loud rumbling, Xiao Chen shoved away Yan Feng"s entire body as if toppling a mountain. However, the Bloodthirsty Macaques behind charged over at this moment.
It could not be helped. Xiao Chen could only expose his strength. Using his body as a saber, he sent out his Great Dao"s Might.
In the time it took for a spark to fly, Xiao Chen threw six punches. The fist lights were like sabers. A wind shrilled as though the fist lights were resplendent saber lights unleashed in the depths of the jungle.
Six punches later, Xiao Chen forced several Bloodthirsty Macaques to retreat.
However, such an intense battle attracted the attention of many ferocious beasts deep in the jungle.
"Roar! Roar!"
Scary roars came from the depths of the jungle. Xiao Chen sensed several Major-Primal-Core-level ferocious beasts rus.h.i.+ng over.
Xiao Chen did not dare linger. With a few flashes, he arrived on the mountain path, which was protected by a Buddhist Might.
On the other side, a group of bald monks surrounded Yang Qing. They did not send out any killing moves against her; they just delayed her, preventing her from going to Xiao Chen"s aid.
On the path, Yan Feng looked at Xiao Chen. He saw that despite the heavy strike he launched at Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen appeared to be completely fine and uninjured. Hence, his expression turned cold.
"Benefactor, too much is as bad as too little. You should leave some for others. Now that you have monopolized all of the resources of this Buddha Seeking Mountain, what are the people like us, who worked so hard to enter the Fiendish Demon Battlefield, to do?"
Hearing the other party"s reasoning, Xiao Chen smiled and said, "So, what do you want me to do?"
When Yan Feng saw that Xiao Chen seemed to be open to discussion, his expression turned much warmer. "Share some of the White Jasmine Flowers and the other rare Buddhist plants with us. Then, we will work together at the Buddha Seeking Platform. With the help of we people from the Buddhist sect, you will be able to obtain more opportunities at the Buddha Seeking Platform.
"You should also know that compared to the fortuitous encounters at the Buddha Seeking Platform, these plants in the forest are not worth mentioning at all."
Xiao Chen did indeed know that there was a completely preserved ancient temple in the Buddha Seeking Platform that had many tools, weapons, treasures, and Medicinal Pills of the Buddhist sects.
In the depths of the temple, there was also a Wisdom Tea, the consumption of which could refine a cultivator"s Soul Energy, increasing a Major Primal Core cultivator"s chances at breaking through to the Cloud Sea Realm.
There was a legend from the past of a disciple from the Black Cave Mountain who obtained the Wisdom Tea. Within ten years after coming out of the Fiendish Demon Battlefield, that person broke through to the Cloud Sea Realm.
However, the Buddha Seeking Platform was now occupied by Fiendish Demons, lifeforms that already existed before the Martial Epoch formed, and far surpa.s.sed ferocious beasts.
The Fiendish Demons were born after the destruction of the Immortal Epoch. After the Heavenly Court collapsed, the Immortal Qi had gone haywire, resulting in all sorts of things gaining intelligence.
For example, there were rocks, trees, flowers, gra.s.s, or even ordinary household items. There were all sorts of bizarre objects; everything was possible. After gaining intelligence, they turned into spirits, something neither human nor ghost, neither deity nor demon. Hence, they were termed Fiendish Demons.
However, when the Immortal Epoch was destroyed, the Immortal Qi of the Heavenly Court got tainted and was no longer pure. Hence, most of the Fiendish Demons turned irritable and bloodthirsty.
Before the Martial Epoch was born, the Fiendish Demons had rampaged, ma.s.sacring several races.
It was only then that the predecessors of the Buddhist Dao, the Confucian Dao, and other factions appeared and fought the Fiendish Demons. After gaining the upper hand, they tried to exterminate the Fiendish Demons before ushering in the Martial Epoch.
Now, in this age, it was already impossible to meet a Fiendish Demon in the normal world.
Even if one ran into a Fiendish Demon in a special place like this, the bloodlines of the Fiendish Demons were already very thin, no longer as strong as their predecessors
However, these Fiendish Demons were still not what ferocious beasts could compare to. In terms of intelligence and strength, ferocious beasts were no match for Fiendish Demons.
If one wanted to enter the temple and seek out fortuitous encounters, the help of the Buddhist sects" people would definitely be effective. Buddhist Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques were exceptionally suppressive against Fiendish Demons.
However, this Yan Feng"s words made it seem like Xiao Chen needed his help, and Yan Feng even wanted Xiao Chen to hand over the White Jasmine Flowers and the other rare Buddhist plants.
However, was that possible?
Xiao Chen retorted coldly, "You really overthink. If you are truly willing to work together, I can distribute some of the benefits obtained in the Buddha Seeking Platform. However, you can stop dreaming about the natural treasures I obtained along the way."
Yan Feng smiled and said, "It"s fine. I will soon show you who is the one living in a dream!"
"Whoos.h.!.+"
Yan Feng"s figure turned around, and a Buddhist light flowed. A Buddhist chant rang out as he suddenly appeared in front. His entire body gave off a metallic sheen. This was the Profound Light Temple"s Indestructible Iron Body.
Xiao Chen"s expression did not change as he stomped lightly on the ground. Boundless killing Qi, together with his aura, surged out like a wave.
Before the suppression of such a puissant aura, Yan Feng"s speed immediately slowed.
A cold light flashed in Xiao Chen"s eyes as he quickly attacked. A melodious saber hum rang out in the surroundings.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
Xiao Chen sent out three knifehand strikes, chopping on the same spot and producing metallic clangor. Yan Feng grunted as this sent him flying back a hundred meters. He had not expected Xiao Chen to be so strong.
"Look, the true inheritor of the Profound Light Temple is fighting with someone from the Purple Flame Sect!"
"It"s him, that white-clad person. He harvested many things in this Buddha Seeking Mountain and is very strong."
"I already guessed that someone would get jealous of him. Indeed, the people of the Profound Light Temple could no longer resist making a move. Furthermore, it is an early-stage Major Primal Core true inheritor!"
"There will be a good show to see."
Xiao Chen was famous on this Buddha Seeking Mountain. His every action received great scrutiny.
Every time he emerged from the forest, he definitely collected something. He had long since caused a commotion. However, due to the Purple Flame Sect"s prestige and his personal strength, no one had the courage to do anything despite wanting to.
The people around were not surprised at seeing Xiao Chen fight with the Profound Light Temple true inheritor. The monks of the Profound Light Temple had been monopolizing this Buddha Seeking Mountain for a long time already.
"I wonder who will win?!"
"Do you even need to guess? It"s definitely that bald monk. After all, he is a Profound Light Temple true inheritor. For his cultivation to be so high, it must have been done step by step with great effort. For Buddhists, cultivation is the hardest to raise."
"Right. The white-clad bladesman is merely a half-step Primal Core cultivator. Although his physical body is astonis.h.i.+ng and his Movement Technique is very scary, the Profound Light Temple monk"s cultivation is not only higher, but I think his physical body and Movement Technique is also no weaker than the white-clad bladesman"s."
"It"s hard to say. The white-clad bladesman has not drawn his saber yet!"
Indeed, only now did the crowd notice that Xiao Chen, who was fighting with Yan Feng, still had not drawn his saber. This confused everyone and made them wonder about his restraint.
After getting knocked back by Xiao Chen again, Yan Feng patted his clothes down and smiled. "Interesting. However, I already cultivated my Indestructible Iron Body to the fifth layer. With your cultivation, you can forget about hurting me. As long as I can land one punch on you, you are finished."
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. The other party"s physical body, combined with the Indestructible Iron Body, did pose somewhat of a problem.
Indeed, the true inheritors of a Rank 4 sect are all difficult to handle. If Xiao Chen"s cultivation were a little higher, he would not need to put in so much effort.
However, it was merely having to put in effort. The other party was not Shangguan Lei, not someone whom Xiao Chen considered a th.o.r.n.y problem.
Just as Yan Feng spoke, Xiao Chen shot forward and waved his hand. Seven beams of light shot out from his clothes.
These were the Seven Deadly Sins that Xiao Chen had not used for a long time already. The seven sabers each gave off a different state.
Under Xiao Chen"s control, the Seven Deadly Sins merged into one, and he reached out to grab it tightly.
Dao Might appeared!
The aura of Xiao Chen, who was holding a saber, suddenly changed, becoming boundlessly tyrannical. It felt like his aura could swallow up mountains and rivers. The Dao Might of the Great Dao immediately made the situation unbearable for Yan Feng.
"What saber is this?"
Yan Feng was shocked to see Xiao Chen"s aura change. It felt like Xiao Chen was holding a Dao Tool.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly. "First, there was the saber G.o.d; then, the G.o.dly saber. The saber does not matter. What is more important is the person holding the saber. Don"t think that I really cannot do anything about your iron skin problem."
