Chapter 167: Chapter 153: The Monk Who Practices Both Buddha Martial Arts and the Mysterious Yin and Yang Ring!_3

Even Xie Wenren, who previously held himself in high regard, couldn’t help but see Mahaparinirvana in a new light, secretly astonished in his heart:

It’s easiest to recognize the realm of a warrior; beginners in Martial Arts possess formidable physical strength, while those who delve deeper cultivate a yellow Battle Aura, and advanced practitioners cultivate a red aura, also known as War Qi! Beyond that is the black War Qi Battle Armor!

Having reached this stage of the battle, Xie Wenren, who wasn’t oblivious to the situation, should have appropriately conceded against the martial arts powerhouse, Defrocked Monk Mahaparinirvana. Yet, he had an assurance of victory, or at the very least, an assurance of not being defeated!

That is his "Crooked Paths and Evil Ways" that could match Defrocked Monk Mahaparinirvana!

While complimenting Defrocked Monk Mahaparinirvana, Xie Wenren once again stealthily touched his ring; however, this time Li Ping’an, who was observing the battle with Divine Power: Insight into the Hidden, noticed it:

Why does this fellow touch his ring? Touching is one thing, but why sneakily? It’s as if he’s afraid of others seeing it!

Could it be that his ring is related to his power? But that shouldn’t be possible! How could one become stronger in such a manner? No matter how powerful a weapon is, it still depends on the person wielding it!

Strange! Strange! Strange! This fellow is truly odd!

When Defrocked Monk Mahaparinirvana made his move again, his speed had become too fast for the naked eye; other than Li Ping’an and the four Night Travelers, everyone else failed to see clearly, only catching a glimpse of several illusory figures as Mahaparinirvana advanced.

"Troop Formation in the Sand!"

One of Defrocked Monk Mahaparinirvana’s illusory figures launched a Skyburst Fist at Xie Wenren, creating a fierce gust of wind intermingled with a wave of sand and dust, resembling a tornado, making it hard for the onlookers to keep their eyes open!

As the tornado swiftly approached Xie Wenren, who sought to evade, the sand within the wind instantly transformed into several sand soldiers and a gigantic sand-formed fist.

"Not good! Too fast! Too fierce!"

It was already too late for Xie Wenren to dodge when the sand soldiers formed by the violent wind blocked all his escape routes, and the colossal sand-formed iron fist struck him squarely in the chest.

Xie Wenren let out a muffled grunt, his complexion slightly changed, and he was already hit out of control, floating in the wind!

"Demon Daoist! I don’t believe you’re made of iron! Ground Slam Hammer!"

Once the wild wind subsided, all the afterimages of the Defrocked Monk Mahaparinirvana vanished, and he disappeared from the spot.

"Where did the big Monk go?"

The onlookers simply couldn’t keep up with the movement speed of Mahaparinirvana and lost track of the Defrocked Monk in his Heroic Spirit Realm state.

But only Li Ping’an and the four Night Travelers could clearly see, and of course, Xie Wenren had the clearest view as his uncontrollable floating body could see Mahaparinirvana descending from the sky like a divine weapon, striking towards Xie Wenren’s chest with an Explosive Elbow Strike, faster than lightning and in the blink of an eye.

"Gravity..."

As he was about to be struck, Xie Wenren made a strange gesture with his right hand pointing rapidly towards the ground. The spot he pointed at suddenly flashed with a faint purple light.

With a thunderous boom, Defrocked Monk Mahaparinirvana’s Ground Slam Hammer did not kill Xie Wenren nor achieve the desired effect. The moment the elbow strike hit Xie Wenren’s chest, it was as if it had struck a cushion, and instead, a loud noise erupted from beneath him, as the ground mysteriously formed a deep pit.

"Strange, strange, strange!"

Mahaparinirvana exclaimed in surprise, striking again, grabbing Xie Wenren’s collar with one hand and delivering another punch to his chest with the other:

"Power of Ten Elephants!"

"Wood Attraction!"

Xie Wenren made another peculiar gesture, pointing with his right hand at a towering tree nearby just before being hit.

With another thunderous boom, the same bizarre event occurred, except this time the explosion took place in the towering tree, which mysteriously split in half and shattered into fragments, with leaves floating and filling the air as if it were raining leaves!

"You beast, what kind of sorcery are you using?"

Defrocked Monk Mahaparinirvana grew increasingly impatient, shaking Xie Wenren’s neck and barking at him for answers.

"Hehe, lacking strength even when hitting someone, and you still call yourself a warrior?"

After Xie Wenren’s mocking reply, Defrocked Monk Maha was momentarily taken aback:

"Hundred Bodies Ten Thousand Shadows!"

Defrocked Monk Mahaparinirvana’s body shook violently, and around Xie Wenren, thousands of his afterimages appeared, each attacking different parts of Xie Wenren’s body with various moves.

"Gravity God!"

As all the afterimages of Defrocked Monk Mahaparinirvana struck Xie Wenren’s body, a faint purple glow like a transparent film suddenly burst forth from Xie Wenren, absorbing all the heavy and powerful attacks of Mahaparinirvana. Moreover, the ground within ten meters all around Xie Wenren’s body exploded, forming hundreds of small and large pits.

"What on earth is going on?"

Both the astonished Mahaparinirvana and the stupefied Li Ping’an shouted in unison!

"An Immortal is an Immortal indeed, impressive!"

The hoodlums spectating from both sides of the street, who had their hearts in their throats, once again cheered for Xie Wenren, lauding him with exclamations.

"I get it now; this purple glow Armor must be your means of saving your life!"

Defrocked Monk Mahaparinirvana suddenly experienced an epiphany, laughing joyfully like a child finding a new toy.

"Too bad, you’ve only got half of it right!"

Xie Wenren still smiled disdainfully, as the half revealed was only out of sheer necessity. The other half was something he reckoned even Mahaparinirvana couldn’t fathom with his intellect!
