Chapter 200: Chapter 170: The Soon-to-Fall Genius!_4

Therefore, the word "effort" is merely a deception by the upper echelons of all walks of life to keep the lower classes obedient.

Because of this, Xie Wenren grew to hate Li Ping’an and Pei Yuanjing even more!

In his heart, he swore again silently that today, neither Li Ping’an nor Pei Yuanjing would escape death!

"This beast, Pei Yuanjing, has treated my brother Maha and me as mere experience packs, using us as stepping stones for his constant breakthroughs in Realm!"

Li Ping’an, witnessing Pei Yuanjing’s cultivation continually increasing, couldn’t help but curse and understood why Pei Yuanjing had been reluctant to deliver a deadly blow to the Defrocked Monk Maha.

Next, Li Ping’an saw the most terrifying and deadly thing, which was due to Pei Yuanjing’s research into the Flame Cloud Sect’s Cultivation Methods, presumably the Artifact Refining Technique; he could actually absorb Spiritual Essence while fighting the Defrocked Monk Maha!

Pei Yuanjing had already lost an arm, which was a significant setback for any cultivator, suggesting that his path of cultivation would be very challenging hereafter. Yet, Pei Yuanjing had broken through the physical limitations and obstacles of cultivation and become even stronger!

"No! If we continue fighting, Pei Yuanjing will surely advance to the mysterious heart realm, successfully perform ’Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate,’ and reach the Li Yuan, Kong Ming, and Jade Realm within the Middle Three Realms of the Taoist Cultivator, officially stepping into the realm of Terrestrial Immortals!"

Li Ping’an wanted to step in and help the Defrocked Monk Maha, but his Mana was still not fully absorbed, so he shouted to Maha, who was increasingly at a disadvantage and severely wounded:

"Brother Maha! Hurry and use your ultimate move! If we don’t kill him soon, we’re all going to die!"

"Hmph! If this beast hadn’t relied on his sharp sword, I would have killed him long ago!"

The two enormous Buddha hands of the Defrocked Monk Maha were chopped off by Pei Yuanjing. To save Li Ping’an and kill Pei Yuanjing, he retreated swiftly, flying to Li Ping’an’s side, then made a move like a lion attacking a rabbit towards Pei Yuanjing thirty meters away and suddenly roared:

"Thunderous Lion’s Roar!"

Everyone saw the Defrocked Monk Maha, with his mouth wide open in fury while his entire being radiated a sky full of golden light, which transformed into a sporadically visible ten-meter-tall Golden Buddha, with a giant Golden Lion beneath it.

The Golden Lion, while emitting a piercing roar, carried the Golden Buddha towards Pei Yuanjing to attack him!

"Ah!"

Including Pei Yuanjing, Iron Staff Wang Lang, Cen Fuda, a crowd of Idle Followers, servants, and roughnecks, and Xie Wenren hiding in the shadows, everyone, upon hearing the roar of the Golden Lion, felt as if countless iron needles were continuously piercing their ears, emitting heart-piercing screams, and in an instant, blood flowed from everyone’s ears and eyes.

On the right side of Fallen Dragon Pit, after the fierce battle between Li Ping’an and Pei Yuanjing, the few remaining dilapidated residences were destroyed and collapsed until nothing was left by the Thunderous Lion’s Roar from the Defrocked Monk Maha.

The Defrocked Monk Maha’s Thunderous Lion’s Roar was undeniably powerful; even Li Ping’an was not sure he could withstand it, but his timing for this ultimate move was too late!

Pei Yuanjing’s realm and weapon were already overwhelmingly dominant.

Just as the Golden Buddha was about to strike and the Golden Lion was about to bite Pei Yuanjing to death, Pei Yuanjing, with a slight lift of his hand, sent a sweeping Immortal Slaying Sword’s Sword Qi, engulfed in flames, that instantly annihilated both the Golden Buddha and the Golden Lion.

"Hahaha!"

Pei Yuanjing, brandishing his sword and looking up, revealed an immensely arrogant smile. After his laughter, he pointed his Immortal Slaying Sword at everyone and bellowed fiercely:

"You meddling fools! All of you die! Raging Fire Scorches the Heavens!"
