Martial Arts Master: The Lin Family Sword God, who swept through the Five Mountains and Four Sects

Xiao Yuanshan clasped his hands together and chanted a Buddhist prayer: "Amitabha, this old monk and my junior brother will now learn from the Crown Prince's superior skills."

Before the words were even finished, his fingertips had already moved!

One of the Seventy-Two Shaolin Arts—

Dorado's Leaf Fingers!

His ten fingers spun like blooming flowers, and invisible finger energies tore through the air, distorted the void, and headed straight for Lin Tian's face!

Almost simultaneously, Murong Bo made his move.

Silently, a palm strike was launched.

Seemingly ordinary, the palm strike suddenly trembled halfway through, multiplying from one to two, two to four, four to eight... In an instant, thirty-two palm strikes, sixty-four palm strikes, one hundred and twenty-eight palm strikes! Golden shadows flew everywhere, and the palm force surged like a tide, enveloping all directions!

One of the Seventy-Two Shaolin Arts—

Thousand-Handed Tathagata Palm!

Back in the day, in *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer*, Master Fangzheng used this palm technique with unparalleled skill. But compared to Murong Bo now, it's nothing more than child's scribbling!

"Well done!"

Lin Tian's eyes blazed with fury, his fighting spirit soaring to the heavens!

Clenching his fists, he suddenly unleashed a powerful punch—

"Fist that can subdue the world!!"

boom!!!

The terrifying force of the fist surged from his arms like a river overflowing its banks, causing mountains and seas to collapse, and collided head-on with the Tathagata's Finger and the Thousand-Handed Tathagata Palm!

The first move of the Mountain and Sea Boxing Manual—Fist That Overwhelms the World!

As a swordsman, the sword is Lin Tian's natal weapon, and seven or eight tenths of his cultivation is tied to the sword.

But today, he dares to abandon his sword and fight against two top masters, not only because of his overwhelming strength, but also because of his confidence.

Half a month ago, Yang Guo broke through to the Acquired Realm Perfection and entered the Innate Realm Initial Stage. Lin Tian subsequently obtained a silver card.

[Silver Martial Arts Card: Top Ten Martial Arts]

Introduction: The Ten Strong Martial Arts integrates ten orange-tier ultimate techniques—sword, spear, halberd, staff, fist, palm, leg, claw, and finger—created from the culmination of Wu Wudi's lifelong martial arts expertise. Upon mastery, it unleashes the supreme killing move—Invincible in All Directions, Slaughtering All Directions!!

Emperor Shitian, who had lived for over a thousand years and was a peak existence in the mythical realm, was actually defeated by Wu Wudi using this method!

This skill is so powerful that it is among the top even among silver-level players!

And at this moment, Lin Tian was using—

The Mountain and Sea Boxing Manual, a fist that can subdue mountains and rivers!

While the Doro Leaf Finger and Thousand Hands Tathagata Palm are ranked among the top ten Shaolin skills, they are ultimately only red-tier martial arts. Although the Mountain and Sea Fist Manual is orange-tier and may be inferior in terms of individual skills, when combined with Lin Tian's legendary peak internal energy, the gap is already enormous.

not to mention--

His cultivation level was a whole major realm higher than theirs!

The force of the punch exploded!

Murong Bo's Thousand Hands Tathagata Palm, with its solid qi capable of breaking gold and shattering stone, crumbled inch by inch under Lin Tian's fist, like paper and clay!

Xiao Yuanshan's finger force, which distorted space, was also completely shattered and annihilated in the air!

Seeing Lin Tian's fist strikes like a raging dragon emerging from the sea, tearing through the void, the two experts' expressions changed drastically.

Murong Bo slapped his palms together rapidly, unleashing eighteen consecutive strikes of "One Strike, Two Scattered Palms," one of the seventy-two Shaolin arts. The force of his palms exploded like thunder, barely managing to disperse the sweeping fist energy.

Xiao Yuanshan dared not take this devastating blow head-on. He immediately activated the Shaolin martial art "Great Shifting Body Technique". Without moving his body, his feet glided across the ground without leaving a trace, shifting nearly half a zhang horizontally, narrowly avoiding the punch.

"Such terrifying fist pressure requires immense internal energy to unleash! But he's so young... Could it be that he started practicing martial arts in the womb?! Even so, my internal energy has already reached the pinnacle of the Innate Perfection realm, yet I could never possibly unleash such a legendary fist technique—could it be that he has already entered that legendary realm unseen by anyone?!"

Xiao Yuanshan was startled, and a thought that even he found absurd popped into his head.

"Junior brother, go all out, there's no need to hold back anymore. The longer this drags on, the worse it will be for us." His voice was low and heavy.

Both men were nearly 190 years old. Although their skills were still at their peak, their physical bodies were already extremely decayed and could not withstand a long battle.

Murong Bo naturally understood and nodded in response, "Yes, Senior Brother."

"Oh? Are you getting serious now?" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow and smiled, his eyes gleaming with fighting spirit.

He halted his attack, refraining from pressing his advantage—not out of underestimation of his opponents, but out of utter confidence. Faced with absolute power, these two old monks couldn't cause any trouble.

Seeing him stop, Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, a fight requires rhythm. Just now, Lin Tian completely suppressed him. If he didn't stop to catch his breath, he wouldn't be able to find an opportunity to counterattack.

"Amitabha." The two clasped their hands together and chanted softly, their voices like booming bells. Compassion for all living beings appeared on their faces, and their aura suddenly shifted, spreading compassion all around them.

A state of compassion!

This is the Daoist essence they comprehended decades after reaching the peak of the Innate Realm, and it is also the realm most easily attained by Buddhist martial artists. Although it is not difficult to enter the path, reaching perfection is extremely rare, with only one in ten thousand succeeding.

This concept originated from Bodhidharma, but he transcended boundaries with "compassion," thus creating a legend. Although later monks found it easier to comprehend due to the widespread dissemination of Buddhist scriptures, they ultimately imitated their predecessors, merely picking up scraps of wisdom, and failed to grasp the true pinnacle of martial arts. It is precisely for this reason that even the Sweeper Monk, who devoted his entire life to this pursuit, was unable to take that final step.

Xiao Yuanshan's shoulders trembled slightly, and the sleeves of his monk's robe suddenly burst open, revealing two withered arms like ancient trees. His hands transformed into blades, and his inner energy condensed into a tangible blade of light.

"Your Highness, in my past life I was obsessed with the Seventy-Two Ultimate Skills, and my violent nature was ingrained in my bones. Fortunately, my master enlightened me, and I realized that martial arts are not about quantity but quality. For over 130 years since entering the Buddhist order, I have devoted nearly a hundred years of my life to this 'Breaking the Precepts Sword Technique.' Using my arm as a blade, I have mastered two forms: the first is 'Severing Purity,' which cuts off all attachments; the second is 'Falling into the Mortal World,' which allows one to reflect on one's true nature. Today, I humbly request Your Highness to appreciate it."

Before he finished speaking, the other person had already disappeared from the spot.

The next instant, he suddenly appeared in front of Lin Tian, ​​his arm blade like a judge of heaven and earth, slashing down!

The power of that single strike seemed to cleave the sky, causing the wind and clouds to swirl back, as if it would cut everything in the world in two!

Lin Tian neither retreated nor yielded, raising his left arm horizontally to meet the arm blade head-on.

After three years of tempering, twenty-seven bones in his body have transformed into true "Formless Sword Bones," including the six bones in both arms. Even if struck by an axe, chisel, or hammer, at most it will only break the skin and draw blood, but it will never damage his tendons or bones in the slightest.

Although you suffered a slight dull pain from the blow, don't forget that the "Formless Sword Bone" is a miraculous skill that grows stronger with each battle, and the pain will pass in an instant.

"Impossible!" Xiao Yuanshan's pupils shrank dramatically, his face filled with horror. "His arm... is it made of iron? No! Even if it were forged from the finest black steel, my 'Severing Purity' technique should have severed it in one stroke!"

He gritted his teeth and rose again, swinging his left arm down with another full-force strike—but it was still ineffective.

"Heh, so this is the sword technique you've painstakingly honed over a century?" Lin Tian chuckled, his tone playful. "'Severing Purity' and 'Falling into the Mortal World'—the names sound quite Zen-like, but their power... well, it's barely passable."

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Xiao Yuanshan's arms with his other hand.

Dragon Claw Locks the Sun!

The dragon is locked deep within the clouds!

Lin Tian's palms flew, attacking from both sides, unleashing the "Oracle Bone Claw Technique" from the Ten Strong Martial Arts. With two crisp cracking sounds, Xiao Yuanshan's arm was instantly crushed inch by inch. The excruciating pain of shattered bones contorted his face, and veins bulged on his forehead, but he gritted his teeth and remained silent.

At that very moment, the air behind them suddenly tore apart, and two finger-like gusts of wind, each as thick as a child's arm, pierced through the air—

Canhezhi!

The one who made the move was none other than Murong Bo.
