Chapter 965: Chapter 965: The Powerful Gatekeeper

The howling power, like surging waves, crashed onto the man in white.

The man in white felt as if a great mountain had collided with him head-on, the formidable strength instantly tearing through his defenses.

"Pfft!"

The man in white’s complexion went pale, his chest and abdomen churned with blood, and he suddenly spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

After doing all this, the old man acted as if nothing had happened, and continued to sit there as cool as ever.

"Third Brother!"

"Third Junior!"

The man in green and the man in black shouted in shock at the same time, rushing forward to catch the man in white who was sent flying backward.

"Big Brother, Second Brother... this old guy is very strong!"

The man in white forcefully suppressed his shaking breath and looked at the old man with eyes full of terror.

That palm strike had almost instantly destroyed all of his defenses.

It had even shattered the eighteen layers of techniques he had deployed in just a fleeting moment.

His defenses were as good as nonexistent in front of the elder’s attack!

"Damn it!"

The man in black stood up abruptly, his aura fierce as he prepared to confront the old man.

Yet, the man in green stopped him, bowing to the old man and saying, "Esteemed senior, we were blind and failed to recognize Mount Tai. We have offended you. May I ask how we can enter Kunlun?"

The elder spoke indifferently, "I’ve said before, with me here, you cannot enter."

"What if we insist on entering?" the man in black said coldly.

The old man glanced at him and said placidly, "Simple, defeat me, and you may proceed."

"Fine!"

The man in black stepped forward, standing before the old man and cupping his fist, "Senior, offense is not intended!"

The moment his words fell, the man in black’s figure disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already behind the old man.

Immense strength burst forth with his palm strike, profound energy erupting so fiercely that even the space around his hand appeared to warp slightly!

Upon reaching the peak of the Transcendent Realm, one begins to tread towards the threshold of transcendence in martial arts.

"Impressive, to possess such strength at a young age. You would indeed be considered quite talented even within Kunlun!"

Feeling the power emanating from the man in black’s attack, the old man genuinely praised.

The next moment, the old man struck back fiercely, his mighty strength erupting like a volcanic explosion from his seemingly frail body.

"Boom!"

A muffled blast echoed, and the man in black, like a kite with its string cut, was sent flying away into the distance.

Still mid-air, he spewed large mouthfuls of blood, and his face turned pale as well.

"Big Brother!"

The man in green’s face was stricken with horror, unable to believe how quickly his eldest brother and junior had been defeated.

Their strength, when in the outside world, towered over all, matched by only a handful!

Yet, this elder before them proved to be stronger than all three combined!

And he was just a gatekeeper of Kunlun!

"Do you wish to continue?"

After felling the man in black with one move, the elder turned to look at the man in green.

The man in green swallowed a mouthful of saliva, sweat beading and falling from his forehead.

It had been a long time since he had felt such deep, heartfelt apprehension, having been at the peak of the Transcendent Realm.

"My elder brother and junior have been humiliated, as the second brother, I cannot stand by and watch."

The man in green clenched his teeth, took a deep breath, and strode forward, positioning himself before the elder.

His body surged with energy, and his robes billowed – he was ready to strike.

"Good!"

The elder looked at the man in green, a look of appreciation on his face.

But when he made his move, there was not the slightest hesitation or softness in his action.

He struck out with a palm, and profound strength agitated forth, condensing into an invisible palm imprint in front of him and slamming violently against the man in green.

The man in green felt as if he had been struck head-on by a great mountain, the vast strength instantly stirring around him.

Wave after wave, layer upon layer, struck against his body.

The man in green blocked only the first wave before he could no longer withstand the subsequent onslaught and was violently sent flying backward, crashing into the cliffside.

Boom!

An earth-shattering noise erupted, raising clouds of dust into the air and leaving a huge crater in the side of the cliff.

The man in green staggered out from the crater, his figure unsteady, vomiting more fresh blood.

He dropped to his knees, his complexion deathly pale.

"Old man... what realm is your strength... really in?"

The man in green couldn’t believe that his full effort had not even lasted a second.

It was unbelievable to the extreme!

"As for my cultivation, I’ve long since forgotten."

The old man looked indifferent, his expression wistful, and after a pause, he slowly began to speak.

"I’ve been guarding this place for so many years, I’ve forgotten when it was I first began."

"Perhaps... it has been over a hundred years?"

After speaking, the old man waved his hand, and the landscape shifted, the environment around the Taoist Temple changing once more.

An invisible force moved about, and in just a handful of moments, the entire region was sealed off.

"Since you’ve come here, you might as well stay. Keep this old man company."

Hearing this, all three men’s expressions turned grim, and they began to doubt their years of martial arts careers.

They had cultivated for so many years, only to find they were not even a match for a single Kunlun gatekeeper?

Then how truly powerful must Kunlun itself be!

Just as the three felt utterly disheartened, the old man suddenly turned his head sharply, his gaze piercing straight ahead.

After a long while, he turned to the three men in black and asked in a deep voice, "Do you still have other companions here?"
