Chapter 198: Chapter 170: The Soon-to-Fall Genius!_2

"Brother, you were wrong. You acted so recklessly without asking me first, and you’ve ruined my efforts!"

"Ah? Why would you say that, brother? When have I ever disrupted your endeavors?"

"You should have killed him with one strike of your Zen Staff, not kicked him awake!"

Having said this helplessly, Li Ping’an saw Pei Yuanjing, who was five meters behind Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts, slowly stand up, giving them a sinister smile.

"What in the world is happening?"

Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts, asked anxiously.

To continue absorbing Spiritual Essence and replenish his mana, Li Ping’an quickly explained the situation in a few words, but he did not mention his own depletion of mana, for fear that Pei Yuanjing, upon hearing it, would come to kill him relentlessly!

"So that’s how it is!"

After grasping the situation, Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts, immediately turned with his Zen Staff to look at Pei Yuanjing, who was rising with his sword:

"You dishonorable beast from the Flame Cloud Sect, better leave quickly, lest I be forced to kill you!"

"..."

Pei Yuanjing didn’t rush to speak, instead he scrutinized Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts, who had suddenly appeared, narrowed his eyes, and said:

"Are you Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts, the one who defeated Xie Wenren?"

"That would be me!"

Pei Yuanjing nodded his head, then respectfully inquired further:

"So you are a disciple of Emperor Tathagata?"

"That’s right! That’s right! Your speech is all over the place, so long-winded!"

Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts, replied impatiently.

"I, Pei Yuanjing, greatly admire the character of your master, the Emperor Tathagata Dragon Tree Divine Monk. In consideration of your master’s reputation, I do not wish to be your enemy. So, Brother Mahaparinirvana, might you step aside, or perhaps leave this place?"

When Pei Yuanjing mentioned the name of the Emperor Tathagata, the murderous intent in his eyes diminished by a third.

Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts, looked back at Li Ping’an and nodded firmly, then turned to reply:

"You fool, your admiration for my master, the Emperor Tathagata, is your own affair—it’s got nothing to do with me! If you want to fight, then fight; if you want to kill, then kill. Why do you talk so much nonsense!"

"Very well, very well, very well!"

Pei Yuanjing gave a devilish smile, his whole demeanor reverting back to the previous crazed state, and he bellowed at Li Ping’an and Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts:

"Then let’s die together!"

"Such a strong aura of malevolence from this beast!"

Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts could not help but shake his head in amazement.

"To kill you here, and then those cockroaches and bugs over there, even the Emperor Tathagata Dragon Tree Divine Monk would not know that you died by my hand!"

After Pei Yuanjing finished speaking, his Immortal Slaying Sword once again emitted a purple glow as he attacked Li Ping’an and Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts.

"Brother, you hold on first, his Immortal Slaying Sword is extremely fierce..."

Li Ping’an originally wanted to warn Mahaparinirvana about Pei Yuanjing’s sword while simultaneously using Buddhist combat himself, but before he could finish speaking, Mahaparinirvana had already elevated his Martial Arts to the Heroic Spirit Realm and disappeared from where he was.

As soon as Pei Yuanjing took flight, Mahaparinirvana was already upon him with an after-strike that came first, and in the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Pei Yuanjing.

At the first exchange, Mahaparinirvana pressed down on Pei Yuanjing with an absolute advantage, and even with the Immortal Slaying Sword in hand, Pei Yuanjing couldn’t withstand the frenzied attack of this Martial Arts master.

Since Pei Yuanjing had lost an arm, even though his Taoist cultivation was much higher than Mahaparinirvana’s Martial Cultivation, in just this short while, he was continuously driven back by Mahaparinirvana’s assaults.

"The illustrious Emperor Tathagata Dragon Tree Divine Monk actually took in a disciple from the Lower Nine Streams of Martial Arts! How utterly ridiculous!"

Although Pei Yuanjing was continuously being forced back by Mahaparinirvana’s attacks, he increasingly despised Mahaparinirvana in his heart.

After scoffing, Pei Yuanjing forced Mahaparinirvana back with a sword but then found that he had been driven back to where his arm had been severed.

"The Four Red Suns Formation!"

Pei Yuanjing stomped on the ground, and the Four Red Suns Formation Technique abruptly materialized, only this time the range of the formation was over ten meters larger than before.

Mahaparinirvana and Li Ping’an saw that in order to gain victory, Pei Yuanjing was burning the essence blood within his severed arm, thus increasing the power of the Four Red Suns Formation.

"Brother Maha, your Martial Cultivation is lower than Pei Yuanjing’s Taoist Cultivation; if you combat his Taoist abilities with Martial Arts, you’ll undoubtedly be defeated!"

As Li Ping’an spoke, he checked his Attribute Template in his mind—his Mana had only recovered by half—so he needed to continue absorbing Spiritual Essence, and thus he reminded Maha once more:

"Brother Maha, quickly use your Buddhist Cultivation to defeat him! Don’t waste any more time! He is the second greatest talent in the world!"

"Alright!"

Mahaparinirvana, who originally did not want to use Buddhist Cultivation to kill, had not anticipated that his brother Li Ping’an would be pushed to such an extent by Pei Yuanjing. Therefore, he put aside his Zen Staff, closed his eyes, brought his hands together in prayer, lowered his head, and began to recite mantras:

"Amitabha, I am about to commit a great slaughter!"

When Mahaparinirvana opened his eyes again, one was red and the other blue, and a layer of Buddhist golden light shone from his body. Coupled with his imposing stature, he resembled the Western Heaven Arhat or a Buddhist Vajra!

"Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound!"

After Mahaparinirvana gave a thunderous shout, countless golden Buddhist verses spewed out of his mouth, swarming towards Pei Yuanjing like a flood.

As the golden Buddhist verses drew near Pei Yuanjing, they all transformed into golden tigers and leopards and rushed to bite him!

"Flame Explosion!"

Pei Yuanjing had never expected that Mahaparinirvana would be a dual cultivator of Buddha Martial Arts and that both his skills were not weak. He had sparred with Martial Arts masters before, but today was the first time he crossed hands with a high-ranking Buddhist practitioner. He instantly shed his contempt and faced the battle with calm and focused resolve.
