Chapter 423: Chapter 412: Xuanwu Fist, Second in Ferocity

Zhao Changhe’s follow-up was inherently a sweeping move, designed to prevent that group of potentially invulnerable, insane devotees from causing a disturbance.

Otherwise, everyone in this hunt, which was already lacking in confidence, was prepared to fight desperately; if a group of fanatics who disregarded their own lives charged in to block moves, it was highly likely to cause the battle to skew.

It wasn’t just his responsibility; Yuan Cheng and Gui Chen were with him on this.

It’s just that those two old folks were more interested in Bodhisattvas and wanted to have a shot at one; well, go ahead, just don’t get caught and squashed inside... They should know when to withdraw and sweep the field.

Gui Chen was formerly ranked twenty-ninth on the Earth List and rose to twenty-seventh after He Lei and Cai Wenque were killed. His strength was just right for suppressing this group of protectors.

He hadn’t pinned much hope on Yuan Cheng’s arrival; he only had dealings with Master Yuan Xing from Huayan Temple before, and hadn’t seen Yuan Cheng, the abbot... however, reminded by Ying Wu, he thought Yuan Cheng would definitely take an interest in matters related to Buddhism, and Zhao Changhe had the Demon Suppression Department send a letter. As a result, Yuan Cheng hurried over, arriving even earlier than Gui Chen...

With them in charge of sweeping the field, they wouldn’t be needlessly disturbed by so-called invulnerable protectors. This so-called invulnerability had much to do with Buddhist and Taoist spells, which they could break...

But at this moment, Zhao Changhe actually didn’t want Yuan Cheng and Gui Chen to come over to help anymore.

The protectors here were weaker than he had originally imagined, with only Fa Chi being a master level; the rest were all minor level... it showed that after numerous devastating defeats, the Maitreya Sect was running out of manpower and couldn’t bring out any substantial force.

Ranked thirty-eight on the Human List...

Rank forty-four is too low; it’s you I’m after!

"Swish!" A blood-colored blade light swept across the True Void Realm, slashing directly at the head of Fa Chi, who was leading the group.

Fa Chi raised a Zen Stick with a "clang," blocking above, both parties slightly trembling.

In terms of strength, they were evenly matched... one had the Blood Asura Body, and the other was blessed by divine Buddha.

Zhao Changhe’s eyes were brimming with fighting spirit.

Such an opponent was meaningful!

"Blood Asura Zhao Changhe..." Fa Chi held the staff against the blade, his eyes emitting deep hatred: "Starting from Yangzhou... the source that made the Holy Sect struggle in Jiangnan... it’s you!"

"So what?" Zhao Changhe said indifferently, "I only regret my slow cultivation... otherwise, for your Cult of miserable fools, I should have taken your heads long ago to commemorate the bones of Jiangnan."

"This is the path to becoming a Buddha, the pathway to immortality! You have witnessed the Bodhisattva’s power yourself, yet remain deluded?"

Zhao Changhe couldn’t be bothered to waste words with fools brainwashed by the Cult. The Dragon Sparrow suddenly twisted, and the head of a Maitreya Sect follower, who was trying to bypass him to aid at the lotus platform, flew off, blood spurting.

"I have said, your opponent is me!"

...

The Bodhisattva didn’t pay too much attention to Zhao Changhe, although Fa Chi called him the root cause... could a mere petty being from the Mystical Gate’s Fifth Layer be the root cause of your failures? How could you admit such a thing!

A group from the Heavenly List and Earth List could not possibly be organized by such a young man from the Human List. From the scene just now, it’s very likely that Ying Wu was the ringleader.

Ying Wu really had the nerve, to let a mere young man from the Human List take charge of such a matter... his rank wasn’t even as high as Fa Chi, not to mention that at this moment, Fa Chi had received a blessing and had other protectors by his side.

Let Zhao Changhe go to his death.

The Bodhisattva had no time to ponder further, as the barrage from a group from the Heavenly List and Earth List demanded her full attention.

Yang Jingxiu and a few from the Earth List were just to distract and contain while the main force of the encirclement consisted of three individuals.

Ying Wu, Cui Wenjing, and the Xuanwu of the Four Symbols Sect.

Ying Wu’s Cultivation Technique, she did not recognize... It wasn’t surprising that she didn’t recognize it; she hadn’t seen everything in Ancient Times, without going into detail.

Cui Wenjing, a successor of the Qinghe Sword from Ancient Times. That Sword Master back in the day was even stronger than her, and that was fine; he wasn’t excessive, and it seemed like Cui Wenjing, despite wielding the Qinghe Sword, couldn’t fully bring out its power.

The one to consider was Xuanwu...

If there had been a ranking in Ancient Times, Emperor Ye would certainly have been among the strongest few, and even very likely the first! Under Emperor Ye in Ancient Times, the Four Divine Generals each dominated a region, with the Azure Dragon even being an Emperor of the mortal realm! Each of the Four Symbols would have been a dominant force at that time, figures she would have had to look up to.

If she had encountered a direct Disciple of Xuanwu back then, she might have had to kneel and pay respects, not daring to fight her...

However, the one claiming to be Xuanwu was no Xuanwu, just as the self-proclaimed Maitreya was not acknowledged by anyone...

Back then, Xuanwu didn’t use any Snake Whip; he used a sword, and his Fist Power was unmatchable in its intensity and solidity... This whip technique doesn’t quite match up—is it her own invention? Does it mean that her Xuanwu legacy is severely incomplete, a product of her own misguided efforts?

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, his hands had already exchanged over ten moves with the crowd. The golden light in Ming Fei’s eyes intensified as her bare jade hand quickly thrust toward Xuanwu’s chest!

The focus had shifted from primarily attacking Ying Wu to targeting Xuanwu! An incomplete legacy would inevitably show deficiencies in certain areas.

The whip is quite useful in normal situations, but it often falls short when facing opponents of a higher level. My own style of boxing can suppress all of the whip’s variations, rendering them ineffective no matter how intricate they are. If I can force her deficiencies and weaknesses to the surface, victory is certain!

San Niang’s eyes lacked their usual mirth, becoming solemn and sharp.

The Snake Whip was pressured by the opponent’s Fist Power, coiling back around her bright wrists.

That languid hand suddenly clenched into a fist at this moment, and a punch roared out amidst the coiling whip shadows.

Snakes circled around, as if a dragon’s head were roaring from within, emitting a thunderous roar!

"Boom!"

Golden light flickered wildly, the aftershock startling everything within a hundred miles, as the entire Secret Realm shook as if there were an earthquake.

Zhao Changhe, who was in the midst of battling Fa Chi, felt the terrifying impact on his back, almost stumbling forward, and turned around in alarm.

He recalled a remark Xuan Chong had made a long time ago while introducing the intense boxing and palm techniques...

The Xuanwu Fist of the Four Symbols Sect is second only in ferocity in the world!

If we exclude the extraordinary Xia Longyuan, the Xuanwu Fist would be the most ferocious!

Ferocious...

My Guigui... is this San Niang?

This contrast... if I had seen this punch before meeting the languidly, coquettishly smiling San Niang, whose responses were always sluggish, I probably would never have guessed that San Niang could be Xuanwu...

Within the golden light, the dragon shadow dissipated, San Niang fell backward, her body slightly bent over, half-squatting, her feet scraping marks several zhang long on the ground, finally coming to a stop. Then, lifting her head and fixing her gaze, her Dharma Image emerged around her body, with the massive turtle on the ground and the dragon head slightly raised, its eyes fierce and imposing.

Then she stretched out her index finger and lightly wiped away the blood that had seeped from underneath the mask at the corner of her mouth, saying coldly, "The power of Ancient Times, I understand now... this trip was not in vain!"

"Bang!" Her jade foot slammed into the ground, and she shot back like lightning. The Dragon Fist rose again, bursting into the fray.

Zhao Changhe’s jaw nearly dropped.

So cool, Guigui...

Xuanwu is not a turtle; he is the head of the dragon. The Turtle and Snake intertwine, the dynamic and the static are in harmony, blending hardness with softness, powerfully ruling over the North Pole.

The Bodhisattva who hoped to find an easy target but instead grabbed onto a spiked turtle shell paid a heavy price for her misjudgment.

Although San Niang was blown back by the hit, the same strike also caused a slight stagnation in the circulation of her Qi Force, the purple Qi like a ribbon, already piercing the side of her neck.

The Bodhisattva raised her hand in a flash to strike the side of the sword, and Ying Wu’s fist also hit her on the left at that moment.

The Bodhisattva, who had been sitting on the lotus platform, was finally unable to maintain her seated posture and flew backward.

The people were astonished to find the Bodhisattva’s creamy, bare body cracking and bleeding profusely.

The Bodhisattva’s own strength might suffice... yet this body simply could not withstand the force of the three from the Heavenly List in fierce combat; her body broke apart...

She had always been sitting on the lotus platform, for within it, the Life Force could integrate her Divine Soul with Ming Fei’s body. Once away, this body was no longer of any use.

"You..." The Bodhisattva’s face was crazily split open as she unexpectedly let out a man’s voice: "Don’t push me..."

Deathly energy seeped out from the wounds, and in the blink of an eye, the bleeding stopped, the previously delicate skin visibly turned into a steel-like color.

Corpse Transformation?

Or is it the BOSS’s second transformation phase?
