Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 332 I'll beat you to a pulp

"Impossible! My relic! My loss is too great! What kind of treasure is that? How can it be so powerful!"

Monk Dingxin could hardly believe his eyes. He rubbed them hard and stared at Li Yunjing.

The monk Dingxin was truly enraged and, disregarding the consequences, was determined to kill Li Yunjing!
In his entire life, when had he ever experienced such humiliation? What an enormous loss!
It's beyond calculation!
Anyway, Monk Dingxin knew that if he couldn't kill Li Yunjing and get enough benefits from him, he would be completely finished this time. Even if he managed to break through, he would have no hope for the future and might not even be able to recover to his previous level.

Seeing the monk Dingxin pounce on him again, this time, Li Yunjing didn't need to dodge.

Because the golden light on Monk Dingxin's body had dimmed, his magical power had been pushed to its limit, and the golden body of the Buddha could no longer be maintained!

Facing the monk Dingxin, who was no longer at his peak, Li Yunjing charged forward again. His figure sprang out, swinging his fists repeatedly, exchanging blows with the monk Dingxin incessantly!
Only the two men themselves knew how heavy and powerful their punches were.

Facing the half-crippled monk Dingxin, Li Yunjing was extremely confident. He did not dodge, but tensed his waist and abdomen and took the punches head-on. At the same time, he also pounded the monk Dingxin's body with punches!

The heavy fist struck Li Yunjing like a hammer blow. In the end, arcs of electricity crackled from Li Yunjing's body, and his bones sparkled with lightning.

With a "bang," Monk Dingxin finally collapsed.

His punches grew slower with each strike, and the power of his blows rapidly diminished. A tingling, numb, and powerless feeling welled up inside him. Finally, Monk Dingxin staggered and took several large steps back.

His face was contorted with pain; he never imagined that his strength had diminished to the point where he was even weaker than Li Yunjing.

"Hahaha! That feels so good! Incredibly good! You bald monk, are you still up for it? Give it your all! Keep fighting!"

Li Yunjing gained a lot from fighting against his worthy enemy, as his Thunder Divine Body had already reached a bottleneck.

However, after a fierce battle, his body was covered in cuts and bruises, and several bones were broken. The thunderous power deep within his body was once again activated and began to repair his body.

This tingling, itchy sensation brought Li Yunjing a mixture of pain and a touch of pleasure.

Li Yunjing could already sense that the evolution of his physical body was continuing. He had a feeling that if Monk Dingxin were to give him a little more help, he might be able to break through the bottleneck and raise the strength of his divine body to the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm!
With the dual cultivation of body and mind, Li Yunjing's power has increased significantly once again. He has already sensed that he has found a new opportunity for improvement in a short period of time.

"I don't believe it! I can't beat you!"

Faced with the arrogant Li Yunjing, Monk Dingxin's pupils contracted, his eyes growing colder. He clenched his fists, and bursts of vital energy erupted from his body.

That was his life essence burning; if he couldn't succeed, he would die immediately.

As he desperately channeled his power, golden light once again shone from his body, and a violent aura surged forth from Monk Dingxin's body.

"Today, I have slain a Buddhist master, and I'm sure my sect will have a lot of contribution points! I'll send you on your way!"

After their previous encounter, Li Yunjing was certain that he could withstand the opponent's golden body. If he continued to hone his skills, Li Yunjing's physical body would have a good chance of advancing to the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm first.

Li Yunjing threw another punch at the monk Dingxin. This punch was still powerful and unstoppable, killing anyone who stood in his way!
"Bang bang bang..."

The two exchanged blows again. Within Li Yunjing's body, the power of thunder continuously repaired his injuries. Even his broken ribs could be repaired!
Li Yunjing refused to retreat an inch, directly confronting a Foundation Establishment Realm Ninth Level expert, and unleashing his full power, causing the opponent's body to change shape!
Compared to Li Yunjing, the monk Dingxin's recovery ability was far inferior.

The two are not even in the same league.

With a "bang," after several exchanges, Monk Dingxin finally broke down. Li Yunjing threw a punch, its five-colored divine light flashing. The immense power sent Monk Dingxin's tall body flying and crashing into the distance.

This time, Monk Dingxin didn't get up so easily.

"I'll fight you to the death!"

Lying on the ground, the monk Dingxin was furious and ashamed of his defeat. He ripped off a string of Buddhist prayer beads hanging around his neck and threw them at Li Yunjing!

"Bang bang bang..."

In an instant, the string of prayer beads disintegrated, and the eighteen beads shot towards various vital points on Li Yunjing's body.

You've run out of tricks!

Li Yunjing shook his head slightly, reached out and grabbed the "Five Dragon Wheels" in front of him. With a loud "boom", Li Yunjing staggered back four or five steps before he was able to deflect the bombardment of the eighteen Buddhist beads!
"go with!"

At the same time, Li Yunjing launched a counterattack. With a flash of his hand, a burst of bloody light erupted, and the "Blood Demon Seal" was smashed towards Monk Dingxin as if it were a stone!
The "Blood Demon Seal" was a third-tier magical treasure with immense power. Like a heavy hammer, it fell towards the bald head of the monk Dingxin.

"not good!"

The monk Dingxin was terrified. If that hit him squarely, his head would be completely crushed.
Faced with this attack, Monk Dingxin had no choice but to extend his right arm, which was covered with Buddhist light, in an attempt to block the "Blood Demon Seal" strike!

However, a terrifying scene unfolded. With a loud "bang," the "Blood Demon Seal" fell, and the monk Dingxin's entire arm exploded. The "Blood Demon Seal" continued to fall towards the top of the monk Dingxin's head.

Having blocked the attack with his arm, the monk Dingxin endured the excruciating pain, quickly rolled to the side, and dodged the attack.

The thought of failure had already crossed the mind of the monk Dingxin. At this moment, his brain was racing, trying to think of a way to escape.

"Where to escape!"

In an instant, Li Yunjing arrived leisurely and waved his palm again. With a loud "boom," a "palm thunder" was unleashed and struck the monk Dingxin.

"boom!"

The lightning strike was incredibly fast. Monk Dingxin couldn't dodge in time. His other arm, which he had just raised, was shattered by the lightning, and blood splattered everywhere.

"what……"

The monk Dingxin screamed in agony, his face pale, both of his arms shattered.

A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator has no supernatural ability to regenerate from a broken body!
If both arms are shattered, then they are truly gone.

Unless he obtains some rare and precious material in the future, refines it, and replaces his arm with it, and installs it on his body, of course, this kind of prosthetic limb is not his own after all, and will have a great impact on his combat power in the future.

It's fair to say that after taking two heavy blows in a row, Monk Dingxin is essentially finished.

His injuries were too severe; the Buddhist aura around him had dissipated, and he was completely listless. He collapsed to the ground, constantly crying out in pain, looking like a beggar, no longer resembling a high-ranking Buddhist monk.

"This is what Buddhist masters are like? Your strength is far inferior! No wonder the Mingxin Temple has been at a disadvantage in its several clashes with my Shenxiao Dao Sect!"

Li Yunjing walked closer and looked down at the monk Dingxin, who lay there like a dead dog. His cold words made the monk finally feel the approach of death.

"you……"

Monk Dingxin was filled with fear. He knew that he was doomed this time. The people of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" were not much better than demons, according to the propaganda of "Mingxin Temple".

The hatred between the two sides runs deep.

Now that he has fallen into Li Yunjing's hands, he only wishes for a quick death!

"Speak! I'll give you a quick and easy chance!"

Li Yunjing's voice was calm, with an unquestionable tone, as he coldly asked, "Just tell me how many people 'Mingxin Temple' has in the East China Sea, what their purpose is in coming to the East China Sea, and tell me everything you know from beginning to end."

Li Yunjing and the sect's higher-ups naturally had some guesses about Mingxin Temple's actions, but there were too many guesses and still many doubts that needed to be verified.

At this moment, capturing a Foundation Establishment stage monk from Mingxin Temple is the best opportunity to explore the secrets of Mingxin Temple.

Foundation Establishment cultivators hold a status that is neither particularly high nor low; they are considered the backbone of these behemoth sects, and such individuals often possess certain secrets.

If this information can be found out, it will greatly benefit the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" in its efforts to wipe out the Buddhist cultivators in the East Sea.

"Heh heh! I'm a Buddhist disciple, how could I possibly tell you anything! If you've got the guts, then go ahead and try it on me! If this humble monk chickens out, he's not a true Buddhist!"

Although Monk Dingxin was terrified and feared death, he still maintained the dignity of a true disciple of a powerful sect when the moment truly arrived, putting on a heroic and tough demeanor. After saying those two words, Monk Dingxin lay down on the ground like a dead dog, closed his eyes, as if to say, "Go ahead and try, I won't say a word!"
"Alright! I admire tough guys! Let's see how tough you are!"

Li Yunjing sneered repeatedly. Facing this kind of person, he showed no mercy and went straight for the heavy blow, stepping on the monk Dingxin's left shin with a "crack" as the shinbone shattered.

"what……"

The entire shinbone of his left leg was shattered, the flesh was deformed, and it was even compressed into a meat patty. Such excruciating pain would make even a cultivator scream in agony...

The pitiful sound made the disciples of the "Shenxiao Temple" in the distance tremble with fear as they looked at the unfamiliar abbot.

Li Linzi and Gu Wenzhuo never expected that their senior brother Li, who looked like a refined gentleman, could be so ferocious and terrifying when he turned fierce!
Such a scene caused both of them to experience severe heart palpitations.

"Senior Brother Li is too ruthless!"

Li Linzi and Gu Wenzhuo exchanged a glance, each understanding the other's meaning.

The two were truly afraid of Li Yunjing. From now on, they would obey every word Li Yunjing said without any hesitation!
At this moment, Monk Dingxin was in a terrible state. The intense pain was unbearable, and he wished he could die immediately. However, Li Yunjing was right in front of him, and he could not even commit suicide.

Monk Dingxin wanted to faint to reduce his pain, but Li Yunjing, who was standing nearby, used the "Yin-Yang Mirror" to pierce him, which instantly extended Monk Dingxin's life a little.

Then, Li Yunjing did the same thing, crushing all the bones of the other leg of the monk Dingxin into powder.

"what……"

As night fell, the monk Dingxin's screams echoed incessantly within the Shenxiao Temple, like a demon crawling out of hell, filling everyone with fear.

But this monk Dingxin was also tough; he remained silent, uttering not a single word except for screams of agony!
"Great! Very good! Excellent! I'm really starting to admire you more and more!"

Li Yunjing sneered repeatedly and kicked the monk Dingxin in the nose. With a "crack", the nasal bone broke and the nose slumped to one side.

"Ah... Li Yunjing, you demon! You will surely go to the deepest hell after you die, tormented by countless ghosts and gods! You will be a billion times more miserable than me!"

The nose was the most vulnerable area; the nasal bone was broken, and the immense pain caused the monk Dingxin to shed snot and tears. This highly respected Buddhist monk uttered the most vicious curse.

"Good! You're a real tough guy!"

The monk Dingxin was so stubborn that he would rather endure cruel torture than speak, which put Li Yunjing in a somewhat difficult position.

Killing him outright would be a complete waste. The living monk Dingxin is quite useful; if he were to uncover some secrets, it would greatly benefit the entire East China Sea campaign.

As for more severe punishments, Li Yunjing was unwilling to use them.

Didn't you notice that the onlookers at the "Shenxiao Temple" were looking at you differently?
If this torture continues, his own people will start to think he's a psychopath!

"Cough cough!"

After thinking for a moment, Li Yunjing instructed Li Linzi and Gu Wenzhuo in the distance, "Junior brothers, remove the formation. You two come over here. The task of interrogating Monk Dingxin is now in your hands."

"what?"

Li Linzi and Gu Wenzhuo were dumbfounded.

They were both genuine members of the Xuanmen sect, capable of practicing qi, chanting scriptures, and explaining the Xuanmen tradition to their disciples. However, when it came to interrogation, these two knew they were far inferior to the abbot's methods!

Even with your ruthless methods, you still couldn't make the local authorities back down!
What can we do?
"Ok?"

Li Yunjing frowned. These two people are too useless, aren't they?

You've already dealt with the enemy yourselves, and you two can't even interrogate them properly?
It's a pity that the patriarch led a group of elders deep into the East Sea and was not at the "Shenxiao Temple". Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so troublesome; they could have just searched the soul directly.

"Don't give me any more nonsense! This monk Dingxin is your responsibility to guard! If all else fails, I'll ask the sect for him and have the 'Enforcement Hall' interrogate him!"

Li Yunjing had no other choice but to say this.

"Yes! We will definitely complete the mission!"

Li Linzi and Gu Wenzhuo nodded repeatedly and agreed.

If they can't even handle this, they're utterly useless.

"Okay! I'll cripple that bald monk first. You all must keep a close watch on him and make sure he doesn't die!"

As they were talking, Li Yunjing pointed a finger and pierced through the man's dantian. Only when the monk Dingxin screamed in agony, his face turned pale, and he was completely powerless, did Li Yunjing feel relieved.

Even if we don't cripple the monk Dingxin and imprison him, it's not safe. This person's cultivation is very high, and Li Linzi and Gu Wenzhuo might not be able to subdue him.

Li Yunjing couldn't just do nothing and watch over the monk Dingxin, could he?
"Guards! Take this bald thief to the dungeon!"

Li Linzi gave the order, and four disciples came running over.

These people originally wanted to lift him by his limbs, but where were the monk Dingxin's limbs?

With no other option, the group found a window in the ruins and used it as a plank. They placed the monk Dingxin on the plank, and the four of them, each occupying one corner, headed towards the dungeon under the escort of Li Linzi and Gu Wenzhuo.

Li Yunjing nodded slightly and moved to a side hall, which became his new residence.

As for sending someone back to the sect to invite the "Hall of Law Enforcement," Li Yunjing doesn't plan to go back himself. He'll choose either Li Linzi or Gu Wenzhuo to go back.

After the fierce battle, Li Yunjing was in pain all over his body, and he needed to meditate and regulate his breathing to slowly recover his strength.

With each wisp of lightning power, the joints of Li Yunjing's bones crackled and popped.

Arcs of electricity flickered across Li Yunjing's body, their bright light illuminating the room.

Dense bolts of lightning covered his entire body. Bathed in the lightning, Li Yunjing felt comfortable all over. The electric arcs slowly healed the wounds on his body.

"Great! This feels so good! Bathing in lightning restores my strength and allows me to reach the peak of my physical body!"

Clearly sensing the changes in his body, Li Yunjing let out a low shout.

"Boom..."

After a day and a night, the powerful energy within Li Yunjing's body healed all his injuries.

A smile appeared on Li Yunjing's lips. With the further strengthening of his body, he could clearly feel that his strength, speed, and agility had all increased.

Li Yunjing took a deep breath and used his mental energy to examine various parts of his body to see if any hidden dangers had been left during the battle.

After repeated examinations, Li Yunjing finally confirmed that his injuries had been completely healed under the nourishment of the power of thunder, leaving no trace.

After recovering from his injuries, Li Yunjing took out various pills from his storage ring and swallowed them.

Streams of energy erupted within Li Yunjing's body, emitting thunderous roars like tigers and leopards. Power rapidly circulated, expanded, and nourished his body through his meridians.

"Boom!"

Finally, Li Yunjing's physical cultivation reached a new level. He was just one step away from refining his body to the peak that a Foundation Establishment cultivator could achieve!

"Good! Now, in terms of physical strength alone, I think I can take on a peak Foundation Establishment Realm expert one-on-one!"

Li Yunjing showed a satisfied expression before ending his cultivation session.
