We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Boom! Thump thump thump—

A deep, powerful sound echoed through the mountains in the dead of night, accompanied by bursts of golden-white light that were extremely dazzling.

That is the material manifestation of air compressed to its extreme when subjected to a strong impact.

Meanwhile, all the spirits in the mountains, including those demons with decades or even hundreds of years of cultivation, held their breath and trembled in their lairs.

The aftershocks of the battle alone were enough to completely flatten a small hill.

Not to mention the scene right in the middle of the battle.
Whether it was the profound Buddhist Dharma Master Fahai or the unfamiliar human constable, to the monsters in these mountains at this moment...

These are all things they try to avoid at all costs.

I wish I had two more legs to escape this place as soon as possible.

As time passed, the battle between Fahai and Shen Bailian gradually intensified.

Each punch and palm strike carried astonishing force.

Each collision produced a thunderous roar, causing the surrounding air to tremble and the five elements of spiritual energy to surge.

“Benefactor, your killing intent is a bit too strong.” After a long clash, Fahai’s brows furrowed even more. He not only abandoned his contempt but also began to consider subduing Shen Bailian.

Without him.

As soon as he entered battle mode, the ferocious aura that Shen Bailian had condensed from killing ferocious beasts immediately emanated from him.

The murderous aura soared to the sky, causing even the brilliant Buddhist light surrounding Fahai to be tinged with a barely perceptible blood-red hue.

As the saying goes, "One can know the whole leopard from a single spot," Fahai could hardly imagine how many living beings Shen Bailian had slaughtered to condense such earth-shattering killing intent.

"What?" Shen Bailian smiled calmly, his fists pounding out like bloodthirsty tigers and wolves. He didn't intend to explain anything, and said while fighting, "Master Fahai, if you can't hold on any longer, you can say so."

"It's just the two of us here; no one else will know."

His words carried a hint of provocation.

Family members know their own affairs, and since it concerns his background, they naturally cannot easily reveal everything to an outsider.

Shen Bailian's purpose today is not just to make friends through martial arts, but to test his true combat strength level in this world.

If it's just this kind of childish game, how can you test it out?

"Hmph! A mere trick, yet you dare to show off your skills before an expert." Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone Fahai, who at such a young age has become the abbot of Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang?

Grandmaster?

So what if he's a martial arts master?!
Without pursuing the path to immortality, one will ultimately remain an ant.

“Benefactor, this humble monk has been patient, but I never expected you to be so arrogant and provoke me.” Fahai closed his eyes and focused his mind, the muscles beneath his face twitching slightly.

It's clear that he's already angry.

Just a moment.

A surge of powerful true essence, imbued with Buddhist light, poured out from his dantian like a river bursting its banks, forming a golden halo that rapidly expanded.

Pong!
The moment Shen Bailian encountered the golden halo, he was pushed backward and had no effective power to resist.

At the same time, an incomparably powerful and profound aura emanated from Fahai.

It caused the world to lose its color, and time and space around it seemed to freeze.

This caused the entire area to fall into complete tranquility.

There was silence.

As Shen Bailian sensed the changes in his surroundings, his expression suddenly changed, and his eyebrows rose. But the next moment, he licked his slightly dry lips, and an excited light appeared in his eyes.

This is right.

Shen Bailian's actions today are not a game of playing house with Fahai.

In the previous battles, he not only had to complete the test tasks, but also had to spend a lot of time concentrating his power to only one or two tenths of his strength.

I'm really exhausted.

"Since you want to learn from me, you should show the attitude of a junior, instead of being so aggressive as you are now." Fahai glared angrily, glanced down at Shen Bailian in the distance, and then suddenly shot straight into the sky.

Just when Shen Bailian thought the other party was trying to escape, a thunderous sound suddenly rang out.

"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Prajna Buddhas, Ksitigarbha Dharma Eye, Prajna Paramita, Great Luo Dharma Mantra." Fahai, abandoning his usual gentle and compassionate demeanor, exuded an overwhelming arrogance between his brows, his entire body enveloped in Buddhist light, and descended straight down from the sky: "Dragon Journey!"

In an instant.

"Yan!!!"

A long and awe-inspiring dragon roar resounded through the sky, causing all living things in the mountains to tremble. Even the mountains themselves trembled slightly under the dragon's might.

……

Upon seeing this, the residents of Lin'an City bowed and worshipped.

They all started calling out to the Dragon King, begging for his blessings... and so on. Even many of the constables on duty in the county government office did the same.

"No, things seem to be developing in a way that's a bit unexpected." The owner of Baoqing Workshop was about to fall asleep, but he was jolted awake by the unpleasant aura of the Buddha's light shining down on him.

"How could he force Fahai to reveal all his strength?" The owner of Baoqing Workshop frowned.

Although she said that Fahai was just a little kid in front of her, and that she could easily suppress the monk with a single finger.

However, this does not mean that Fahai is a complete noob.

On the contrary.

In the current Song Dynasty court, Fahai can be considered one of the strongest figures at the pinnacle of power, and he has even begun to achieve the state of unity between Buddhism and humanity. Furthermore, the golden alms bowl in Fahai's hand is used to suppress a divine beast.

Even the owner of Baoqing Workshop, who had cultivated for thousands of years, was wary of that divine beast, which was why she didn't want to reveal herself to Fahai.

"I want to go and see, but..." The owner of Baoqing Workshop looked at the direction where the golden dragon soared into the sky, feeling really itchy and eager to know what had happened there.

however.

The owner of Baoqingfang knew she couldn't go; if she did, it would inevitably attract the attention of those people in the sky, and then things would get messy.

Finding enjoyment is an extremely difficult thing for someone like her who has lived for so long.

"Enough, enough." The owner of Baoqing Workshop waved his hand, closed the stone door of the cave, lay back down on the bed, and said softly:
"There is plenty of time ahead of us, so there is no need to rush."

To expose oneself completely to the gaze of countless gods and Buddhas for the sake of momentary pleasure is utterly foolish.

She's a nine-tailed fox, how could she do something so incredibly stupid?

however.

Just a moment later~
"Swish~ Swish—"

The owner of Baoqing Workshop lay on his bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. His mind was unusually active and alert today.

"Just one look, I'll just take a look from afar. I don't think it will attract too much attention." The owner of Baoqing Workshop opened his bright eyes, then suddenly opened them from his bed and waved his hand.

A mirror formed from liquid appeared out of thin air in front of the owner of Baoqing Workshop.

The mirror reflected the fierce battle between Shen Bailian and Fahai.

at the same time.

"Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing..." Bai Suzhen stood on a rooftop, her gentle face etched with wrinkles, looking worriedly towards the spot where the golden dragon had appeared: "Where are you?!"

She had already sensed the anomaly when the demonic aura permeated Lin'an City, and she also smelled Xiao Qing's scent.

However, at first, she was accompanying Xu Xian to treat patients and did not take the matter to heart.

They assumed that Xiaoqing had gone out to play again.

however.

Not long ago, as a thick fog descended, Bai Suzhen sensed something was wrong, as her senses seemed to be blocked.

And he could no longer sense Xiaoqing's presence.

It's as if they simply vanished into thin air.

But how is this possible.

Bai Suzhen knew that something must have happened that she didn't know about, so she quickly bid farewell to Master Xu and went out to find Xiaoqing.

But nothing came of it.

“Could it be…” Bai Suzhen looked in the direction where the golden dragon was circling, bit her lip lightly, and clenched her jade hand holding the handkerchief tightly, the veins bulging.

It's obvious they're hesitating about something.

After a moment.

Bai Suzhen suddenly turned around, her gaze piercing through the thick drizzle, and took a deep look at the lamp in the darkness, imprinting Xu Xian's face into her heart.

Subsequently.

Whoosh!
Bai Suzhen's magical power surged, and she soared into the sky, rushing towards the place where the golden dragon had appeared without looking back, murmuring in her mouth, "Xiaoqing, you must hold on."

Although she is love-struck, Bai Suzhen's feelings for Xu Xian have not yet reached the point of being unwavering until death.

In the end, it's just a similar flower.

Bai Suzhen could clearly weigh the relative importance of Xiaoqing and her current life.

Xu Xuan's reincarnated body can be found again.

But if something were to happen to Xiaoqing, her companion for hundreds of years, Bai Suzhen would know that she would be filled with remorse.

Share the blessings and share the difficulties.

So many years have passed, and now Bai Suzhen would never choose to stand idly by and watch Xiaoqing be imprisoned.

……

"Yan!!!"

One after another, true dragons, formed from pure essence imbued with Buddhist light, surged forth from Fahai's palms.

The dragon's winding body coiled continuously in the air, its scales shimmering with dazzling golden light under the moonlight. After locking onto its target, it suddenly opened its blood-red maw and soared towards Shen Bailian.

They were determined to kill him with a single blow.

Clearly, Fahai was completely enraged.

Otherwise, they would never have attacked a mere martial artist so severely.

However, in Fahai's view, Shen Bailian's death today was also a righteous one.

Because Shen Bailian is a human with outstanding talent, he cultivated to the peak of the Grandmaster realm at the age of just coming of age. Given time, he will surely have the opportunity to achieve immortality.

But today, they are attempting to collude with the snake demon to wreak havoc on the village.

In addition, Shen Bailian pressed him relentlessly.

This is something Fahai absolutely cannot tolerate. (End of Chapter)
