Chapter 660: Five Two Seven, Great Achievement in Ancient Martial Arts

Boom!

The Red Lotus Karma Fire surged forth, submerging the secretly lurking Luli Venerable. Yet no matter how fiercely the flames erupted, they could not harm him in the slightest.

"A member of the Buddhist door?"

Seeing the radiance of Liuli shining from Luli Venerable, Jiang Chen’s pupils contracted, recognizing his origin.

With his whereabouts exposed, Luli Venerable stopped trying to hide. He stepped forward boldly, bowed to Jiang Chen and said, "Luli Venerable of the Liuli Great World salutes the mighty Buddha King."

Upon seeing his salute, an odd smile flashed across Jiang Chen’s face. He suddenly said, "Venerable, it’s good that you’ve arrived. There is an ancient demon clan residual element here causing mischief. Please quickly join me in slaying him."

On hearing this, Luli Venerable twitched his lips and made no response to Jiang Chen. Instead, he stated on his own terms, "Buddha King, don’t rush. This Innate Lotus Flower and my Buddha have an affinity, allow me to collect it before assisting you in eradicating the residue of the ancient demon clan."

How could he possibly help Jiang Chen against Zao Chi? Right now, Luli Venerable would be thrilled if the two men wiped each other out, giving him the opportunity to reap great benefits.

If he wanted to make a move, Luli Venerable would have acted long ago, rather than waiting until now.

Jiang Chen naturally understood Luli Venerable’s thoughts, but he still asked. His purpose was to find an excuse, an excuse to attack Luli Venerable.

He was principled. How could he punish without first giving a chance to explain?

The moment Luli Venerable finished speaking, Jiang Chen suddenly grew furious and shouted, "Luli Venerable, how audacious! The residue of ancient demon clan is a common enemy in the Three Realms, and everyone should punish it."

"There’s a remnant of the demon clan, and you don’t take the initiative to do anything, that’s fine. But you even dared blatantly steal my treasure, buying time for the demon clan’s remnants to escape."

"What exactly are your intentions?"

"With such deeds, you do not seem like a Buddha, but more like a demon. Watch as I subdue you and let the Saint decide your fate."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen made his move. The Red Lotus Karma Fire subtly changed, and the black and white Yin Yang Taoist Fire emerged, filling the area with a dreadful high temperature that threatened to melt everything.

Luli Venerable had been on guard against Jiang Chen all along. Seeing that Jiang Chen suddenly turned hostile and attacked him, he wasn’t surprised. The colorful Liuli light on his body suddenly erupted, forming a formidable energy wave that repelled the onslaught of the Yin-Yang Taoist Fire.

"Buddha King, it is not that this humble monk has embraced the demonic way, but that you have allowed demonic thoughts into your body, showing signs of losing yourself. You can no longer discern right from wrong."

"Let me first suppress you and bring you to the Spiritual Mountain for the illumination of our Buddha’s light, in order to eliminate your demonic thoughts and return to your true self."

When it came to rhetoric, those of the Buddhist door were no worse. Jiang Chen immediately labeled Luli Venerable as demonic, but with a counter move, Luli returned it right back.

"Suppress!"

Displaying his Golden Body, the Venerable Luli didn’t even resort to using the Magic Treasures. Relying on his formidable physical strength, he reached Jiang Chen and started fighting.

"Haha, well done!"

Upon seeing this, Jiang Chen laughed heartily. He didn’t dodge or hide, but activated his own physical strength to fight Luli Venerable directly.

If it was a contest of magic powers, Jiang Chen might not be Luli Venerable’s match, but in physical confrontation, no joke, even if a great witch from the Witch Clan came, he would not be afraid.

Now, under the refinement of the Red Lotus Karma Flame, Jiang Chen’s physical body had become several times stronger, reaching the peak of the Innate Spiritual Treasure and was about to rival the Innate Divine Treasures.

To compete with him in physical combat was simply unwise!

Upon the first exchange, Luli Venerable already knew that something was wrong and had underestimated Jiang Chen.

When Jiang Chen’s fist came hurtling towards him, Luli Venerable raised his hand to meet it, only to have his confident palm shattered by Jiang Chen’s punch, with all five fingers breaking.

"Damn it, how can his physical body be so strong?"

His right hand injured, Luli Venerable was shocked in his heart and quickly withdrew.

On the other side, Jiang Chen wanted to take advantage of the situation to pursue Luli Venerable, but sensing an opportunity, Zao Chi suddenly rushed forward with his spear, intending to impale him.

Left with no choice, Jiang Chen gave up the pursuit of Luli Venerable and turned to engage Zao Chi in battle.

At that moment, the previously retreating Luli Venerable saw all of this, deemed it an opportunity, and once again moved forward, attacked Jiang Chen from behind.

Dealing with Zao Chi alone was already tough enough for Jiang Chen, not to mention adding in Luli Venerable who was in no way weaker than Zao Chi.

In no time at all, Jiang Chen’s physical body was again shattered, splattering blood and flesh.

"Refine!"

Luli Venerable and Zao Chi seized the opportunity, each utilizing their Divine Abilities to gather the shattered pieces of Jiang Chen’s flesh, eroding it bit by bit.

As long as a drop of blood remains, life persists!

Although Zao Chi and Luli Venerable were quick to act, they still allowed Jiang Chen to escape with a drop of blood. A flash of Creation Glimmer passed, and Jiang Chen’s body was restored. He went back into the fray and engaged the two in a battle again.

"Damn it, as long as the Creation Green Lotus is here, he cannot be killed."

After a moment of battle, Luli Venerable understood the reason for Jiang Chen’s immortality. Unless they severed his connection with the Creation Green Lotus, no matter how many times they killed Jiang Chen, they wouldn’t be able to slay him.

Suddenly, an idea came to Luli Venerable, and he said to Zao Chi, who was beside him, "My fellow Daoist Zao Chi, you hold off this demon while I gather Spiritual Treasures and collect those two Innate Lotus."

Zao Chi knew that both the Creation Green Lotus and the Karma Red Lotus were a rare treasure in Heaven and Earth. Although he was unwilling to hand them over, he had no way to collect them. Also, he understood that if he did not agree to Luli Venerable’s request, they could only continue to delay Jiang Chen’s progress.

He couldn’t afford to wait any longer!

Thus, even if Zao Chi was extremely reluctant, he gritted his teeth and agreed, "My fellow Daoist, you may make your move. Zao Chi will definitely do his utmost to hold back this demon."
