Martial Arts Crossover: The Sweeping Monk of Wudang? That's our patriarch!

"Refining a weapon with the essence of a fire-attribute demon beast?" Lin Daochen's eyes narrowed slightly before returning to calm.

As expected, they had refined a live snake into the magic weapon.

With a flick of his wrist, the Heavenly Prison Sword was drawn from its sheath.

hum-

The sword rang out and trembled, and lightning exploded.

Countless orbs of lightning rose from the tip of the sword, swirling around like stars, raging wildly.

With a slash of the longsword, lightning poured forth, crashing down on the red python like a torrential downpour!

Xiahou Ba remained calm and composed, making a hand seal with his fingertips.

boom!

The red python's body blazed with crimson light, and a layer of crystal-clear, jade-like red scales appeared on its surface, making it look like it was wearing real armor!

At the same time, the giant tail swept horizontally, like a steel whip striking the void.

boom!boom!boom!boom!

Thunder and scales clashed violently, sparks flying everywhere.

Some of the light orbs were knocked away and scattered, but several still penetrated the defense and slammed into the red python's body!

"Hiss—!"

The red python let out a mournful roar, its aura suddenly weakened, and its once overwhelming form began to fade and dissipate.

Xiahou Ba's face darkened, and he abruptly crushed the magic seal in his hand.

boom!

The red python's spirit vanished instantly, leaving only the cracked crimson blade in his hand, its surface charred and mottled, its spiritual light dimmed.

This was a natal treasure that had been refined for many years with the essence of the Crimson Flood Dragon, yet it was damaged in a single move!

This rogue cultivator from the Nine Provinces... he's got something.

"I underestimated you." His voice was low, but his eyes grew increasingly cold.

Lin Daochen remained calm: "I've said it before, you're no match for me. Even if they all came at me together, they might not be enough."

He didn't even bother to use the power of the Nine Provinces' fortune to deal with this kind of person.

"Arrogant!" Xiahou Ba laughed angrily. "A mere native dares to spout such nonsense?"

"I was just testing you. Do you really think you can outdo me?"

"You cultivators from small places have no idea what a prodigy from a great world is!"

"Now—I'm going to get serious."

With a flick of his hand, a beam of white light tore through the sky!

It was a ring-shaped magical artifact, entirely silver-white, with a sharp and piercing sound that cut through the air, like lightning piercing the sun, aimed straight at Lin Daochen's throat!

At the same time, he flipped his right hand, and a fiery red gourd appeared in his palm.

Spiritual energy poured in frantically, and a strange red light emanated from the gourd's mouth. Inside, flames seemed to roar, ready to unleash their power!

Almost at the same moment—

Lin Daochen flicked his sleeve.

Five elemental swords were drawn together, their five-colored light flowing in a line to meet the flying ring!

Clang!

The Heavenly Prison Sword slashed down from the sky, thunder surged, and sword intent soared to the heavens!

clang--!

Just as the Five Elements Spirit Sword cleaved the steel ring away, a bolt of crimson lightning tore through the void, heading straight for Xiahou Ba's throat.

Fast! So fast that it's invisible to the naked eye!

In an instant, the sword energy was already upon his face.

Xiahou Ba's pupils contracted, and he slammed his left hand down on the fiery red gourd he was holding in his right hand.

Bang! !

The flames erupted with a roar, transforming into a pillar of fire that scorched the sky, crashing head-on into the thunderous sword energy.

boom! ! !

A deafening explosion shook the heavens and the earth.

But the lightning, like a hot knife cutting through oil, pierced through the pillar of fire in an instant, and with its remaining force, it struck down again!

Xiahou Ba's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly raised the fiery red gourd.

boom!!!

The gourd grew to the size of a mountain, barely blocking his way.

boom! ! !

The sword energy slashed down fiercely, and the gourd shattered with a crack—

Click!

"Oh no!"

Alarm bells rang wildly in my heart, and the chill of death rushed up my spine to my head.

Without hesitation, he shattered the jade pendant at his waist with a single palm strike.

hum! ! !

A flash of blue light appeared, and a protective shield instantly formed, enveloping him within it.

boom! ! !

The aftershocks of the sword energy crashed down, shattering the light barrier, and the sword's power was finally exhausted.

But in that split second—

Lin Daochen had already formed a hand seal and pointed his finger!

Rumble!!!

Countless orbs of lightning fell from the void, crashing down like meteors.

Before Xiahou Ba could catch his breath, he raised his hand and threw out a yellow talisman.

"Hurricane!"

As soon as the incantation ended, the talisman burst into flames, and a yellow light shot into the sky!

call--!!

A yellow hurricane, tens of meters high, rose from the ground like a giant beast opening its mouth, sweeping out wildly.

Puff puff puff puff—!

The ball of lightning crashed into the storm and was instantly torn apart.

The wind blades danced wildly, cutting layer by layer, eventually disintegrating the light sphere one by one.

Seeing the crisis averted, Xiahou Ba was about to sneer—

Lin Daochen waved his sleeve!

The remaining orbs of light suddenly changed direction, as if guided by an invisible hand, drawing two huge arcs, bypassing both sides of the hurricane, and attacking again!

"Hmph! Wishful thinking!"

Xiahou Ba let out a cold shout and swiftly pointed his finger.

Two small hurricanes shot out and met the two orbs of light on either side.

Bang Bang Bang!

The two collided in mid-air, causing an explosion of energy and a shower of light.

In the end, the wind and thunder perished together, and the aftershocks dissipated.

But at that very moment—

A colossal sword of lightning, thousands of feet long, descended from the sky, cleaving through the heavens!

"Danger!!"

Before the sword even arrives, the killing intent is already bone-chilling!

On the brink of life and death, Xiahou Ba gritted his teeth and unleashed his most treasured defensive artifact—

A large, earthen-yellow flag suddenly appeared in the air!

With a flick of his hand, the banner swelled wildly, wrapping around his body layer by layer, transforming into an impenetrable barrier.

The flag's surface shimmered with a divine light of earthy yellow, condensing into a thick cocoon of light, as firm as a rock.

however--

boom! ! !

A thousand-foot-long sword aura crashed down!

The cocoon of light burst open! The flag was torn apart! The protective layer was as thin as paper!

Seeing that the defense was about to completely collapse, Xiahou Ba roared and his spiritual power surged wildly, condensing into a spiritual power shield!

The shield forms in an instant, the sword arrives!

boom! ! !

The shield shattered from the powerful impact.

Xiahou Ba was thrown high into the air like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and rolling several feet away.

In just a few rounds, despite unleashing magical treasures, talismans, and spells, she was still completely suppressed by Lin Daochen and had no chance to fight back.

"Commander Xiahou!"

The people of the Cangxuan Dynasty exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward to surround them.

"I'm fine."

He struggled to his feet, his voice low and weak.

His face was deathly pale, his robe was torn, his breathing was disordered, and the blood at the corner of his lips was still wet—his injuries were obvious.

"How...how could this guy be so strong? Is he really a native cultivator from the Nine Provinces Realm?"

Xiahou Ba looked at Lin Daochen with a gaze full of shock and disbelief.

He had already unleashed several magical treasures, his attacks as fierce as thunder, but Lin Daochen, with just one sword strike, cleaved them all in two with overwhelming force.

This scene was incredibly shocking.

Not to mention the Cangxuan Dynasty, even in the entire Spirit Realm, there are only a handful of people in the late Foundation Establishment stage who possess such combat power.

unbelievable!

How could such a monstrous talent be born in a remote border world where spiritual energy has just begun to recover?

Beside Xiahou Ba, everyone from the Cangxuan Dynasty had their pupils shrink and their minds shaken.

They knew Xiahou Ba's strength all too well—he was a top-tier existence among those of the same level. The other late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators who accompanied them were even more aware: if it were them, they would be no match for him.

Originally, it was thought that suppressing Lin Daochen would be a piece of cake, but unexpectedly, the roles were reversed in the blink of an eye. Xiahou Ba was completely suppressed and was defeated before he could even last a few rounds.

Absurd! Outrageous!

"You...are you really a native of this Nine Provinces Realm? Or did you sneak in from the Spirit Realm?"

Xiahou Ba stared intently at Lin Daochen, his voice filled with disbelief.

He preferred to believe that this was a powerful being from the upper realm disguised as a cultivator, otherwise there was no way to explain such strength.

"The goods are genuine." Lin Daochen said indifferently, "I am not a person from the Spirit Realm."

"Impossible!" Xiahou Ba gritted his teeth. "How could the natives of the Nine Provinces be so powerful?"

Lin Daochen glanced at it lightly and said indifferently, "It's because you're too weak."

"I told you long ago—all of you, come at me at once."

His tone was calm, as if he were talking about something perfectly ordinary.

But it was precisely this nonchalant attitude that, like a thorn, pierced Xiahou Ba's heart.

His face was ashen, and he coldly snorted, "Arrogant!"

"So what if you're strong? Today, all seventeen of us are gathered here; you can't escape!"

He immediately gave a stern order: "Everyone, go all out! Kill him! Leave no room for mercy!"

In fact, there was no need for him to remind them at all—after witnessing Lin Daochen's earth-shattering sword intent, who would dare to keep anything to themselves?

Before the words were even finished, seventeen figures suddenly sprang up!

boom--!!!

The heavens and earth trembled, the void cracked, and various colored spiritual lights tore through the sky, illuminating all directions!

Seven late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators joined forces, with ten mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators providing backup. Swords clashed, bronze hammers shattered the protective aura, iron hooks tore apart souls, divine seals suppressed life, whisks swept away the spirits, and jade rulers measured life and death...

Countless natal spiritual treasures burst forth from the sky, their dazzling divine light exploding like the sun, tearing apart the heavens!

The spells were terrifying beyond measure—divine flames scorched the heavens, hurricanes ravaged the world, seas of blood surged, divine thunder pierced the earth, torrential rain transformed into blades… all sorts of destructive forces converged into a torrent, covering the sky and the earth, completely engulfing Lin Daochen!

The space formed by the Book of Chaos trembled violently, as if it would collapse at any moment. The void wailed, and the laws were in chaos!

This strike was unrestrained, all-out!

All for the sake of—a single, decisive blow!

Witnessing this scene, Xiahou Ba, who had just taken a pill to regulate his breathing, turned deathly pale.

He asked himself: If he were in Lin Daochen's position...

There is only one answer—

escape!

Go all out, get as far away as you can!

Otherwise, they will be crushed to ashes, their bodies and souls annihilated!

Just as the destructive storm was about to engulf everything, Lin Daochen remained standing in the void, his expression unchanged.

"Hmm..." he said softly, "It's a bit lacking compared to what I expected."

Before he finished speaking, he had already stepped out, his Taoist robe fluttering in the wind, like an immortal descending to earth.

boom!!!

An invisible, mighty force descended from the heavens, instantly filling his entire body!

The Great Qi Fortune Technique – Drawing upon the Qi of the Nine Provinces to bestow its blessings!

In an instant, Lin Daochen's aura surged, becoming as deep and boundless as the sea, far surpassing his previous battle against Xiahou Ba!

The oppressive aura caused the seventeen cultivators who were launching a fierce attack to tremble, and their offensive faltered slightly.

This aura... is comparable to a Golden Core cultivator!

It shouldn't be here when someone is at the Foundation Establishment stage!

boom--!

The Heavenly Prison Sword was drawn an inch from its sheath, and its azure light surged, suddenly unfurling a perfectly round sword curtain that surrounded the body!

Bang bang bang bang—! !

The magical artifacts crashed down, the spells exploded, thunder roared, and the void shattered! Countless attacks poured down like a torrential rain, determined to annihilate him!

But the blue sword curtain remained completely still.

But no matter how amazing the magical artifact or how profound the spell, as long as it gets within three zhang of Lin Daochen, it will be blocked by the perfectly round cyan sword curtain and cannot advance an inch.

With a single step, the heavens and earth trembled—one by one, the attacking magical treasures were struck by lightning and sent flying backward; before the beams of magical light could even get close, they had already crumbled into ashes!

In the eyes of those seventeen Foundation Establishment cultivators, Lin Daochen at this moment was like an indestructible divine mountain that could move mountains and fill seas, pressing down on the void, advancing step by step and crushing all obstacles!

No sooner said than done, in the blink of an eye, Lin Daochen had already broken through the void and arrived at the center of the crowd.

boom--!!!

With a flick of the fingertips, the sky suddenly split open.

Countless orbs of lightning burst forth from the void, falling like meteors, their light illuminating the entire world. The incomparably fierce power of the lightning tore through the sky, even distorting and disintegrating space itself!

A terrifying aura swept over them, causing the seventeen Foundation Establishment cultivators to tremble violently!

Those closest to the attackers felt their hair stand on end and their souls go numb. Almost instinctively, they mobilized all their cultivation to desperately build a defense, attempting to block this earth-shattering attack!
