Chapter 161 - 147: If I Don’t Beat You to Death, My Name Isn’t Chen

Chapter 161: Chapter 147: If I Don’t Beat You to Death, My Name Isn’t Chen

When the Buddha Qi and Buddhist Skill on Ancient Bell Spirit resonated with the cultivation technique aura of the Pure Land Zen Sect, they immediately pointed to the true culprit’s location—the Pure Land Zen Sect.

Sixteen years ago, the only Great Innate who traveled from the Pure Land Zen Sect to Water Moon Temple was the current great leader of the Buddhist Sect, known as the Monastery Master, I heard Abbot.

This number one figure of the Buddhist Sect had already been among the top ten experts in the world over thirty years ago. Although he later retired from the Jianghu and kept a low profile for three decades, his prestige within the Buddhist Sect grew stronger by the day. Coupled with the fact that the relationship between Water Moon Temple and the Pure Land Zen Sect was just like that of the Queen Mother Sect and the Dao Yi Sect, when the people of Yuan Country heard these hidden truths, they were completely dumbfounded. Even Gu Xuanong and the three Great Innates deep within the high platform felt their hearts race. They never expected this matter to involve the true mastermind of the Buddhist Sect.

Inside another inn.

Chen Wuji and Yan Chimei sat opposite each other, having heard these words clearly. Even Yan Chimei paused slightly, the wine cup in his hand freezing as he looked toward Chen Sha in surprise, "I heard’s status in the Buddhist Sect is exactly like Chen Canxuan’s status in the Daoist Sect over the past thirty years. Pointing the blade at him now means a fight to the bitter end!"

Because of this, in almost a split second, the Four Great Divine Monks took action without hesitation.

These four monks took Great Wisdom, Great Compassion, Great Practice, and Great Aspiration as their Dharma names, corresponding exactly to the four Buddhist halls in the Pure Land Zen Sect: Manjushri, Guanyin, Samantabhadra, and Ksitigarbha. There were four Buddhist halls in total, and the Four Great Divine Monks were their respective head monks.

With this simultaneous attack, the Supreme Divine Skill of the Buddhist Sect instantly caused the howling winds in the sky to roar like lions and bellow like a Celestial Dragon Roar. Their bodies seemed to transform into Vajra Bodies, emitting loud, metallic clangs. Four techniques of the Upper-Grade Buddhist Hand Seal attacked Chen Sha from the front, back, left, and right.

In that instant, Chang Xi and Ancient Bell Spirit, who were positioned behind Chen Sha, immediately felt the terrifying suppression of Buddha Power. It was as if four Vajra Heavenly Gods of the Buddhist Sect were genuinely attacking them, intending to cast mortals into the Reincarnation Hell.

From four directions came four types of Buddhist Hand Seals, each carrying a distinct aura. Great Wisdom Divine Monk unleashed the "Impermanence Hand Seal." Before Chen Sha, the sky filled with Golden Light and Buddha palms, bearing down with immense pressure! Great Practice, Great Compassion, and Great Aspiration respectively executed the "Suffering Hand Seal," the "No-Self Hand Seal," and the "Nirvana Hand Seal."

These Four Great Hand Seals corresponded to the Fruit Positions of four Bodhisattvas in the Buddhist Sect, all of whom held the title of future successors of Buddhism. As they joined forces, their Buddha Power interconnected faintly, forming a powerful Buddhist Domain right in front of Chen Sha.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha!"

A faint yet magnificent voice echoed across the scene.

Holding his wine cup and watching this scene, Yan Chimei thought to himself, "If you pull out any of these four bald donkeys individually, they’re nothing special. But attacking simultaneously with four Great Hand Seals, they faintly form a Buddha formation. With their combined and empowered strength, even I would have to take them seriously."

However, just as the four Great Hand Seals were about to strike Chen Sha’s front, back, left, and right—aiming for his forehead, back of the head, chest, and back—

CLANG!

It sounded as if an ancient bronze bell had been jointly struck by four gods of Great Strength high up in the sky.

BUZZ!

A tangible shockwave quickly formed into circular ripples, expanding dozens of feet outward with Chen Sha at the center.

WHOOSH!

The howling winds whipped up by the terrifying shockwave instantly caused the clothes of tens of thousands of people at the scene to flutter wildly. They couldn’t even open their eyes. Their ears were deafened, and their brains buzzed from the sheer vibration.

The Buddhist Hand Seals unleashed by the four Innate Divine Monks unexpectedly sank into the air surrounding Chen Sha. Although the four Great Hand Seals caved in the space around him, creating the clear, textured outlines of four Fist Seals, they couldn’t penetrate Chen Sha’s defenses in the slightest, not even grazing his clothes.

Instantly, the faces of the Four Great Divine Monks flushed with blood, their eyes filled with shock. It felt as if their ultimate skills had struck a vast, boundless ocean—only splashing seawater but completely failing to touch the true body of the young Daoist who was the Incarnation of the ocean itself.

Chen Sha simply stood there, completely unmoving. Beside him, Chang Xi and Ancient Bell Spirit were entirely unharmed.

Steadily allowing the Hand Seals of the Four Great Divine Monks to land before and behind him, his eyes flickered slightly as he locked gazes with Great Wisdom Divine Monk, who had spoken before attacking.

"You said earlier that you wanted to cross blows with me. Is this it?"

The moment his words fell, Great Wisdom Divine Monk suddenly felt as if the young Daoist in front of him was a towering mountain rising to support the heavens. In his heart and mind, Chen Sha’s figure grew to a terrifying height, glancing down at them from the corner of his eyes.

"Seeing how blindly loyal you all are, get yourselves ready. If the four of you can take one punch from me and not die, I will spare you and not seek out your Abbot!"

When their attacks failed to penetrate Chen Sha’s Qi Wall, the four had already despairingly acknowledged the Martial Arts Dao heights of this Dao Yi Sect Master. They faintly realized that even with their combined strength, they might not be able to do anything to Chen Sha.

But they never expected Chen Sha to actually offer such an opportunity. Killing four Great Innates with a single punch? What a joke.

"Good! The four of us will join forces to take your punch. If one or two of us are lucky enough to survive, we hope Sect Leader Chen will keep his word." Great Wisdom Divine Monk shouted fiercely, "Three junior brothers! Activate the Vajra Demon Suppression Circle!"

As soon as he spoke, the old Divine Monks in the four directions immediately gathered to stand together. Their palms glowed with Golden Light, and their Qi Power faintly converged into one, turning the air in front of them into a golden, gelatinous state.

In the distance.

Watching Chen Sha remain completely unmoving under the combined strike of the Four Great Divine Monks, with not even his Protective Qi Power being broken, Yan Chimei’s expression tightened. "Such Power actually makes me feel a sense of inadequacy..."

The vision of an expert was incredibly sharp. As the fourth-ranked person in the world, Yan Chimei could tell the gap in Qi Power between himself and Chen Sha from a single glance at Chen Sha’s Protective True Qi. If his forty years of Cultivation had earned him the most unyielding, fierce, refined, and pure Power, then the young Daoist’s Power was four or even five times greater than his own foundation.

"To possess such Power at his age... Could it be that he really cultivated the Qi Stealing Technique?"

But just as Yan Chimei was watching intently, Chen Sha remained expressionless. Seeing that the Four Great Divine Monks were ready, his majestic aura soared into the sky.

He said it would be one punch, so he would only deliver one punch.

Under the cold gazes of Great Wisdom Divine Monk and the other three, Chen Sha slowly extended his right hand from behind his back. He raised it slightly and pushed it flatly toward the four men!

RUMBLE!

A terrifying, tyrannical force erupted through the sky!

The heavens and earth seemed to dim simultaneously, with all the light and colors in the sky obscured by this palm strike. The air currents within a radius of twenty zhang surged violently, spreading out in all directions with a momentum that felt like the heavens themselves were collapsing.

BOOM!

The four monks instantly felt fierce winds slashing at their faces like sharp knives, striking their fronts and producing a sound akin to clashing metal!

FLAP!

The respective Kasayas and monk robes of the Four Great Divine Monks fluttered wildly, snapping and crackling in the wind. All of them felt their hearts quake uncontrollably. In their eyes, only that approaching, jade-white palm remained.

He hadn’t even clenched his fist yet!

And it was already this tyrannical, this terrifying!

Great Practice Divine Monk felt his heart pound, but he roared furiously, "It’s just one punch! It might not kill all of us!"

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

As Chen Sha’s palm steadily pushed forward, blotting out the light and air currents, the Four Great Divine Monks each let out a fierce shout. They activated the "Vajra Demon Suppression Circle," a top-tier Zen Sect upper-grade Integration and combined-force Martial Arts.

Since they were joining forces to block Chen Sha’s punch, there was no Martial Arts within the Pure Land Zen Sect more suitable for a cooperative defense than the Vajra Demon Suppression Circle. This Martial Arts dictated that when one person moved their thought, the others would instantly understand. Using profound Buddhist Technique and Buddhist Skill as a bridge, this was the essential Heart Method they had previously relied on to unleash the might of the Four Great Hand Seals.

WHOOSH!

Under this palm strike, the majestic and even boundless Buddhist Sect Power of the four monks poured out entirely. Each of these four men was in their sixties or seventies, meaning their combined Power amounted to around two hundred years.

RUMBLE!

The high platform specially built by Yuan Country could no longer withstand the terrifying pressure at this moment. It instantly collapsed, blasting a cloud of dust and dirt into the air.

However, in the eyes of the Four Great Divine Monks, there was only that jade-white hand. Once it reached them, the slender five fingers lifted slightly and suddenly clenched tightly!

The very motion of those five fingers clenching seemed to crush and detonate the sky itself.

CRACKLE!

The outer layer of Qi Power generated by the Four Great Divine Monks’ Vajra Demon Suppression Circle completely exploded under this clenched fist!

BOOM!

The punch smashed directly in front of the Four Great Divine Monks! They roared simultaneously, veins bulging all over their bodies as vitality and blood rushed to their heads.

"Prajna Palm!"

"Thousand Hands Seal!"

"Vajra Finger!"

"Fearless Seal!"

Empowered by the Heart Method of the Vajra Demon Suppression Circle, they simultaneously unleashed their strongest respective Buddhist Sect Martial Arts!

CLANG!

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

In an instant, four explosive sounds like a thunderstorm rang out across the sky.

The moment the Four Great Divine Monks made contact with Chen Sha’s punch, their Heart Spirits collapsed. On a mental level, they felt an absolutely insurmountable oppressiveness.

The edge of the fist seemed to carry an overbearing and fierce will: "If this one punch doesn’t beat you to death, my surname isn’t Chen!"

It was just a single punch!

This punch was so fierce and tyrannical that the moment it smashed into the Four Great Divine Monks’ Vajra Demon Suppression Circle and their respective ultimate skills, it was like an army of thousands of soldiers and horses charging into a porcelain shop. To call it effortlessly crushing would be an understatement.

PUFF! PUFF! PUFF! PUFF!

This punch did not physically land on any of the Pure Land Divine Monks, but the terrifying Fist Power enveloped all four of them. Like a massive mountain bearing down, it shattered all Qi Power and crashed into their bodies, causing their bodies and Kasayas to explode simultaneously.

POP! POP! POP! POP!

The brains of the four men immediately failed to withstand the terrifying Fist Power. Blood began to flow profusely from their seven facial orifices, streaming endlessly. Yet, this was only the surface. As the force of this punch passed through, their internal organs were simultaneously crushed by the Fist Power.

Finally, Chen Sha withdrew his fist. The swirling winds whipped around the area, ravaging everyone present. Unable to withstand the intense air pressure of the great battle, an unknown number of people had long since fled the scene. At this moment, everyone stared at the four Innate Divine Monks, who were bleeding from their seven orifices yet still standing perfectly still with their eyes wide open.

"Killing four Great Innates with a single punch." Yan Chimei sighed. "Why do I feel like I might not be a match for him either?"

Gazing at the Four Great Divine Monks—who resembled Arhat sculptures, bleeding from their seven orifices and standing perfectly motionless after taking the punch—Anx Ruyue tightly closed her eyes a short distance away and shed tears. "Amitabha Buddha."

After a single punch, the four men had died on the spot. What remained standing were merely empty husks of human skin; the bones and flesh inside had been virtually pulverized into minced meat.

She opened her tear-streaked eyes and looked at Chen Sha pleadingly, "Sect Leader Chen, isn’t this enough? Five Buddhist Sect elders have already died today. Please, let it end here."

Chen Sha, however, replied indifferently, "Originally, only one needed to die."

With that, he flicked his hand. "Teng Zijing."

The howling rush of air currents, caused by a pair of wings vibrating through the sky, began to circle overhead.

Chen Sha leaped up, landing on Teng Zijing’s back. "To the Pure Land Zen Sect."
