The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

After all, she had already lost, so naturally she would do whatever Pang Ban said. She wouldn't be like some women in novels who don't know right from wrong, don't know how to assess the situation, and even after becoming a prisoner, still act like a noble lady, demanding this and that, and not afraid of being abused.

"Very well, then I, Pang Ban, will give you some guidance on behalf of your master, Yan Jing'an," Pang Ban said with a smile.

"Please enlighten me, senior," Qin Mengyao said solemnly.

Without waiting for Pang Ban to speak, Qin Mengyao lightly touched the ground with her foot and launched an attack on Pang Ban with a graceful and ethereal movement.

After all, Pang Ban's reputation speaks for itself—he has suppressed the martial world for sixty years and is the absolute number one in the martial world. She, on the other hand, is just a newcomer to the martial world. Although she has studied the Cihang Sword Manual, which is known as one of the Four Great Classical Books, and has cultivated to the point that no one in the sect has reached in more than a hundred years, she is still far inferior to Pang Ban. If she does not want to be suppressed by Pang Ban in one move, it is better to take the initiative and launch an attack.

"Well done." Pang Ban smiled slightly upon seeing this, put one hand behind his back, pulled it forward, and threw a simple punch at the sword that Qin Mengyao was thrusting at him.

Chapter 407 Entrance

Under the influence of the Tibetan Buddhist intelligent book's ability to turn the virtual into the real, Pang Ban's punch directly blasted out an air blast that collided with Qin Mengyao's sword.

Qin Mengyao keenly sensed the point of attack, and decisively twisted her wrist, the blade grazing the air bullet fired by Pang Ban to avoid the attack, and then continued to stab at Pang Ban.

"What a brilliant display of swordsmanship!" Pang Ban exclaimed, delighted at the sight of his prey.

As the spiritual influence of the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique spread with even greater intensity, it not only began to affect Qin Mengyao's spiritual senses, but also began to interfere with her Sword Heart Clarity realm.

After all, the realm of Sword Heart Clarity is essentially a spiritual realm, a way of perceiving the details of all things. Although it seems to resemble the Way of Sincerity, as if one can foresee the future, it is completely different from Tang Zichen's ability to have a sudden inspiration even when separated by thousands of miles. Instead, it is more like intuitive exploration, where one can sense something a moment before the attack arrives and then dodge or take advantage of it.

Therefore, it is possible to be influenced by the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique.

At the very least, this can be achieved by attracting and influencing the immortal embryo through the demonic seed.

If you used a different martial art, you might not have succeeded.

Therefore, under the influence of Pang Ban's Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique, although Qin Mengyao's attack still maintained a straight thrust, the landing point was quite different from her initial choice. It was as if she was being delivered to Pang Ban, who easily grasped her with his hand.

Then, Pang Ban twisted his hand holding the sword blade, and Qin Mengyao, who didn't want to lose her weapon or have it destroyed, was forced to spin along with it...

But Qin Mengyao didn't give up. Soon, after spinning 360 degrees in mid-air, she suddenly released her grip on the sword, using the momentum from the spin to leap into the air. She then kicked out, striking the hilt of the longsword still held by Pang Ban, using the force of her leg to force Pang Ban to make a choice once more.

Protect your hand, or lay down your sword?

Pang Ban responded calmly. He opened his palm, raised four fingers, and the sword blade that was about to shoot towards his chest suddenly changed direction, with the tip pointing towards the sky and shooting towards the ceiling.

However, halfway there, Qin Mengyao grabbed him again just as he was about to land. He instantly used the power of his sword to fly back into the air, then turned around and landed headfirst on the ceiling of the main hall. He became one with his sword and shot towards Pang Ban again with an aura that seemed to be able to see through everything.

Pang Ban activated the Secret Intelligence Book, and an invisible air palm struck the sky with his single hand, relentlessly bombarding Qin Mengyao's body and the blade of her sword from both sides, forcing her attacks to change direction.

Pang Ban had only one idea: to completely subdue Qin Mengyao with one hand without moving, and incidentally plant his image of being powerful and invincible in Qin Mengyao's mind, so that he could use her later.

So after several attacks, Qin Mengyao's Heavenly Strike finally landed on the ground to the side. The sword bent and then bounced, and Qin Mengyao flipped and fell back to the ground. With a twist of her waist, countless sword energies shot towards Pang Ban along the direction of the sword blade, like the Yangtze River.

Pang Ban remained calm and composed, as various invisible air palms appeared out of thin air and collided with Qin Mengyao's sword energy attack.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Qin Mengyao had anticipated this, and immediately turned her footing, bypassing the area where the sword energy and invisible palm force were clashing, and launched another attack on Pang Ban from the other side.

Her current thought is simple: she must make Pang Ban move or free his other hand, no matter what. Otherwise, she might really be beaten so badly by Pang Ban that her martial arts heart would be damaged, and she would lose the opportunity to advance to the Heavenly Dao Realm.

Pang Ban remained calm, watching Qin Mengyao, who was using all her skills to pressure him, with a smile on his face, as if he had seen an interesting toy...

……

"Is this Pang Ban? So strong!" Zhuang Qingshuang murmured, having witnessed the battle between Qin Mengyao and Pang Ban through Ishihara Sho's magical water mirror.

谷栵

As a skilled swordsman, she could naturally tell how good Qin Mengyao's swordsmanship was. In any case, if she were to face Qin Mengyao, she wouldn't last more than a few dozen moves.

Of course, this was before I cultivated the Shushan Sword Control Technique. If it were now...

She was confident that she could defeat Qin Mengyao with the chance of a first-time kill, but if she fought Qin Mengyao again, she felt that she could at most remain undefeated, and there was even a considerable chance that she would lose to Qin Mengyao.

It's not that the Shushan Sword Control Technique is inferior or not magical enough, but rather that there is indeed a significant gap between her cultivation level, knowledge, and combat experience and Qin Mengyao's.

Just like when she sparred with Jin Bingyun, who also used a sword, she would often lose.

Sometimes, cultivation level and experience cannot be compared to the miraculous power of cultivation techniques.

Moreover, the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique and the Cihang Sword Manual, which has been cultivated to the Sword Heart Clarity Realm, are not much inferior to the Shu Mountain Sword Control Technique she cultivates...

"Mengyao has grown up." Yan Jing'an sighed with a sense of satisfaction.

"Alright, it's your turn to make your appearance." Shi Yuanzhang smiled and said to Zhuang Qingshuang, Lian Xiuxiu, Yun Su, and Ning Bicui.

Zhuang Qingshuang and the other three exchanged glances, nodded, turned around, and left the cabin, arriving at the edge of the deck.

"How do we get down?" Only then did Lian Xiuxiu realize that the others couldn't fly and asked.

After all, she practices sonic power. She has no problem controlling her ACE skills, but flying?

Everyone is Zhuang Qingshuang.

"Don't worry, just jump. I've already blessed you, so I guarantee you won't have any problems," Ishihara Akira reassured him with a smile.

How about a lightness amulet?

Moreover, he had already used the power of his primordial spirit to construct a cloud formation around them, almost to the point of creating clouds for them to step on and pretend to be immortals, so they definitely wouldn't die from the fall.

Zhuang Qingshuang and the others trusted Shi Yuanzhang. After exchanging glances, Zhuang Qingshuang, who was the boldest and capable of flying on her own, took the lead and walked towards the void outside the ship's side.

"Wow, it really is falling very slowly!" Zhuang Qingshuang, who felt as if she were sinking, exclaimed with delight as she watched Lian Xiuxiu and the others from the ship's side.

Seeing this, the others did not hesitate any longer and followed suit, leaving the ship's side and joining the descent.

Then Ishihara Akira embraced Yan Jing'an and Jin Bingyun and returned to the cabin, continuing to sit on the sidelines and watch the live broadcast using the Water Mirror Technique.

At the same time, Pang Ban, who was fighting Qin Mengyao, suddenly looked up at the ceiling above him.

Qin Mengyao then stopped her attack and looked over, just like Pang Ban...

Although she had no idea what Pang Ban was looking at.

Chapter 408 Four Women Fight Pang Ban

However, Qin Mengyao quickly understood what Pang Ban was looking at.

Not only her, but also Fang Yeyu, the Three Fiends of Sun, Moon and Star, and the Five Elements Generals of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth all understood.

The reason was simple: shortly after Qin Mengyao looked over, the originally intact ceiling suddenly collapsed, creating a large hole. Then, four beautiful women with exceptional temperament, seemingly only slightly inferior to Qin Mengyao, descended from the hole with ethereal grace, slowly landing on the floor of the hall beneath their feet.

"Who goes there?!" Fang Yeyu shouted angrily.

Although Pang Ban is now in charge here, it's not appropriate for him to step forward without Pang Ban's permission. However, he still needs to make a move, so it's acceptable for him to question these uninvited guests on Pang Ban's behalf.

At the same time, the Three Fiends, the Five Elements Generals, and others also surrounded Zhuang Qingshuang, Lian Xiuxiu, Yun Su, and Ning Bicui.

Qin Mengyao was pushed aside, and naturally, her sparring with Pang Ban could no longer continue. She could only join Pang Ban in paying attention to the four newly arrived women.

"Zhuang Qingshuang, Lian Xiuxiu, Yun Su, and Ning Bicui greet the Demon Master." Ignoring the Three Fiends and the Five Elements Generals around them, the four greeted Pang Ban with their own customary etiquette—Zhuang Qingshuang and Ning Bicui clasped their fists, Lian Xiuxiu curtsied, and Yun Su clasped her hands together.

“Lian Xiuxiu, I’ve heard of you. You’re a renowned courtesan whose beauty and talent are unparalleled in seven provinces. I’ve always wanted to find an opportunity to meet you, but I never expected that we would meet today, in this place, and in this way. I must say, this surprises me greatly.” Pang Ban looked Lian Xiuxiu up and down and said.

"Xiuxiu never expected that the Demon Master would have heard of my reputation," Lian Xiuxiu said with a smile.

As for the influence of Pang Ban's Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique on her?

Putting aside the fact that the Fuxi Evolution of Heaven Technique she obtained from Ishihara Sho had a strong mind-training function, the influence of Ishihara Sho's Heavenly Demon Power on her was far beyond what Pang Ban's Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique could erase. Therefore, she didn't take Pang Ban's charm seriously at all, and treated him calmly as if he were an ordinary guest who wanted her but couldn't have her.

"I wonder what brings you all here this time?" Pang Ban asked again with a faint smile.

"I have come on my master's orders to take Miss Mengyao back," Lian Xiuxiu replied as the representative of the four.

"Sir?" Pang Ban frowned.

For some reason, he has a bad feeling about this, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.

"I wonder if the Demon Master still remembers the name Ishihara?" Lian Xiuxiu said with a smile, revealing Ishihara Zhang's alias in the world of "Turning Clouds and Rain".

Instantly, Pang Ban's pupils shrank, and his aura became sinister.

The obvious and abrupt change was noticeable even to Fang Yeyu and the others standing nearby, let alone Qin Mengyao, whose spiritual and mental realm was even higher. Instantly, a sense of curiosity about Ishihara arose in her heart.

If they can still maintain their composure after seeing Ishihara Akira in person and witnessing the changes in Yan Jing'an and Jin Bingyun while they were with Ishihara Akira...

"Just a few of you? Doesn't he fear that I'll leave you here?" Pang Ban's eyes were icy, as if he were looking at a group of dead men, and he stated coldly without any emotion.

“We also asked the master, but he said that the martial arts he taught us were all the best in the world. No matter which one it was, we could cultivate it to the point of breaking through the void. As long as we were willing to study and practice diligently, even if we had only just begun to understand it, as long as we cooperated well enough, it would be enough for us to save our lives in the hands of the demon master.” At this moment, Ning Bicui answered on behalf of Lian Xiuxiu.

His words were full of confidence, which aroused Pang Ban's curiosity.

"Is that so? I don't believe it," Pang Ban said calmly.

谷寿

“Then please forgive our rudeness,” Ning Bicui replied.

Then Lian Xiuxiu sat cross-legged on the ground, placed the guqin she had been holding in her arms on her lap, and began to play a certain ancient piece that she knew, abruptly and naturally.

Moreover, upon first listening, there seemed to be nothing unusual; at least, no one present noticed anything wrong with her playing.

However, afterwards, the eyes of the Sun, Moon and Star Three Fiends, the Five Elements Generals of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth, and even Fang Yeyu became dazed, as if they were immersed in the artistic conception of the music, which attracted the attention of Pang Ban and Qin Mengyao.

Because at that very moment, they felt the power of music.

"What a wonderful sonic technique! In terms of the finesse of manipulating mental power alone, it's no less impressive than the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique," Pang Ban exclaimed, having withstood Lian Xiuxiu's attack with his profound mental cultivation.

Lian Xiuxiu was not used, and continued to play the music on her zither.

Not long after, as Lian Xiuxiu plucked a string on the zither, the Three Fiends, the Five Elements Generals, Fang Yeyu, and the others all closed their eyes and fell to the ground, clearly knocked unconscious by Lian Xiuxiu's sonic attack.

"How dare you!" Pang Ban, feeling somewhat humiliated, roared angrily with a gloomy face.

He then decisively threw a punch at Lian Xiuxiu and the others.

"Amitabha..." Yun Su's palms changed from clasped together to mudra, her eyelids lowered, and her body suddenly released an image of immeasurable light. Without making any extra movements, a huge Buddha swastika appeared out of thin air in front of her, slowly rotating and colliding with Pang Ban's attack.

"boom!"

"What kind of martial art is this!" Pang Ban exclaimed in astonishment.

Qin Mengyao's face also showed a look of surprise.

Before they could think any further, Zhuang Qing Shuang turned her hand into a sword finger and shouted, "Draw!" The sword that was originally in the scabbard in her hand suddenly shot out spontaneously, spun in the air, and shot towards Pang Ban like a sharp arrow.
