Chapter 2226 - 2227: Masterful Blade Technique

So when the Great Monk raised his hand, his power was immense, but when it fell, all the power was neutralized by Ling Zhenfei's Boundless Blade Technique, posing no threat to Ling Zhenfei.

The Great Monk didn't mind, waving the Tin Staff in his hand with terrifying power.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Great Monk, you do have a lot of strength."

The Great Monk said, "Little Benefactor, your blade technique is also quite exquisite."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Believe it or not, you're no match for me."

The Great Monk said, "If you can defeat me, I'll naturally believe it."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Very well, then I'll show you my strength."

After saying this, Ling Zhenfei's Tang sword suddenly changed, the Guardian Character Decision turned into the Attack Mantra, and with two blades forced back the Great Monk's Nine Ringed Staff, then the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists slashed towards the Great Monk.

Unexpectedly, the Great Monk did not fear when seeing Ling Zhenfei's spiritual energy attack, and as the Nine Ringed Staff rotated, the spiritual energy moved, forming a Spiritual Energy Layer on it.

Boom!

Ling Zhenfei's spiritual slash struck that spiritual energy; to Ling Zhenfei's shock, the energy disappeared, and the next second, the energy flew toward Ling Zhenfei.

His own spiritual energy from the Sky-Splitting Ten Blades was rushing towards him, truly horrifying.

Ling Zhenfei hastily used another strike with the Sky-Splitting Ten Blades to cancel out the energy on that strike.

Although the energy was canceled out by Ling Zhenfei, he was extremely shocked inside, hardly believing it could be done.

His own spiritual energy attacking him, how can one continue fighting this way?

Ling Zhenfei suddenly recalled a girl he once encountered atop Xianling Mountain.

At that time, the girl was fighting with another cultivator to seize Lu Tao's Wu Wang Dao Talisman, but fortunately, Ling Zhenfei arrived in time to stop it.

Back then, Ling Zhenfei engaged one of the girls in a fierce battle, and that girl attacked with flowers.

Ling Zhenfei retaliated with the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists, but the stronger his spiritual energy, the more powerful the petals' counterattack became after they were struck.

In other words, the stronger the spiritual energy he used, the stronger the petals' counterattack force became.

This powerful spiritual energy seemed incredible to Ling Zhenfei, as he was not her match at the time and couldn't think of a way to break it.

If it weren't for the girl being called away, Ling Zhenfei might not have defeated her given the situation.

Now seeing the Great Monk's technique, Ling Zhenfei realized it bore many resemblances to that girl's cultivation technique.

Ling Zhenfei could hardly believe such a technique existed in the world. If his spiritual energy counterattacked each time, he wouldn't be able to withstand it when his energy was too great.

Ling Zhenfei was shocked, but at that moment, the Great Monk charged, striking at Ling Zhenfei with two staff hits, forcing Ling Zhenfei to evade using the Butterfly Piercing Flowers footwork.

However, the Great Monk's Nine Ringed Staff hounded Ling Zhenfei relentlessly, attacking like a shadow following him.

Ling Zhenfei knew he couldn't let the Great Monk keep attacking like this, as it was too exhausting.

He also realized how formidable the old monk was, with the sounds from the Nine Ringed Staff affecting Ling Zhenfei's psyche, making him very distressed.

Suddenly, the Nine Ringed Staff emitted a surge of spiritual energy, and Ling Zhenfei hurriedly used his own energy to block it.

Boom!

The spiritual energy collided, shattering into pieces, and then a ring suddenly flew off the Nine Ringed Staff, unclear if the Great Monk released it intentionally or by accident.

This ring charged directly out, striking Ling Zhenfei in the chest.

Though Ling Zhenfei's body was protected by numerous layers of spiritual energy, the power of the ring was immense, striking him directly.

Ling Zhenfei immediately felt a powerful shock from the spiritual energy hitting his body.

His body was surely injured, his internal energy surging turbulently, nearly causing him to spit out blood, but he forcefully suppressed it.

Seeing this, the Great Monk knew Ling Zhenfei's condition and smashed the Tin Staff toward him again.

He clearly understood that Ling Zhenfei was suffering, unable to use powerful spiritual energy to fight, even moving was a luxury, and thus continued his assault.

Ling Zhenfei knew this couldn't continue. While the Great Monk seemed benevolent, his techniques were all rather underhanded, and continuing this way would certainly lead to more traps.

Hence, it was time to swiftly end the battle, without hesitation.

Shape-shifting shadows, Ling Zhenfei instantly moved behind the Great Monk.

The Great Monk was attacking Ling Zhenfei continuously, seeing that victory was near, but then Ling Zhenfei suddenly disappeared.

Boom!

Ling Zhenfei struck from behind with a punch, startling the Great Monk, but Ling Zhenfei's speed was too fast, and the monk, focused on attacking, couldn't have anticipated Ling Zhenfei vanishing so suddenly; it was terrifying.

By then, Ling Zhenfei's fist had reached him, and the Great Monk hurriedly twisted his body trying to dodge Ling Zhenfei's punch.

But there was no way to stop it.

Boom!

This punch landed directly on the Great Monk, sending him flying.

Clang, the Nine Ringed Staff clattered to the ground.

The spectators were all in an uproar; perhaps Ling Zhenfei didn't know the man, but many in the cultivator community did.

Master Kuzhu of Tianma Temple held a significant position within the Cultivators Alliance and was an exceptionally powerful figure among cultivators.

His spiritual energy counterattack technique was revered as supreme among high-level practitioners, although not the absolute pinnacle, it was close enough.

Master Kuzhu was far stronger than people like Ji Tianlang, yet even such a powerful cultivator didn't gain any advantage over Ling Zhenfei.

Though the Nine Ringed Staff's ring hit Ling Zhenfei, he retaliated by directly punching the Great Monk.

The most shocking aspect was Ling Zhenfei's incredible speed—none of the keenest observers could see how he moved so swiftly.

Yet Ling Zhenfei indeed won, with the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists striking the Great Monk, sending him flying.

The massive body hit the ground, raising a dust cloud, unable to get up for some time.

The crowd looked at Ling Zhenfei like a monster, and the angriest was Su Wei.

Su Wei's son, Su Liu, was injured, so Su Wei had asked Master Kuzhu to come on stage to avenge his son, but not only was there no revenge, they ended up losing another key person.

In fury, Su Wei marched toward Ling Zhenfei, clearly intending to attack directly.

Su Wei was naturally very powerful, to the point where an ordinary person couldn't become the Alliance Hierarch of the Cultivators Alliance, the largest cultivator organization in human society.
