Chapter 164 - 149: Crushing All Enemies!

Chapter 164: Chapter 149: Crushing All Enemies!

Hearing these words that sounded so self-righteous coming from the other party’s mouth, Chen Sha couldn’t help but sneer. "Then why didn’t you directly clean house and kill Gu Rusu back then?"

I Heard remained coldly silent.

Chen Sha said coldly, "How about I answer for you? You knew that if you dared to kill Gu Rusu back then, you could never escape the outcome of my father, Chen Canxuan, coming after you. You only dared to strike in secret, trying to invisibly erase a life with that Mid-Yin Purification Body Spell..."

After I Heard heard the name Chen Canxuan, he abruptly looked up.

"You’re saying... Chen Canxuan is your father?" He looked deeply at Chen Sha. "So you are the current Dao Yi Sect Master, Chen Sha..."

"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH..."

At this moment, the withered old monk to the side began to cough violently. He first looked at Chen Sha and said, "This old monk understands the whole story now."

With that, he looked at I Heard and said, "A single thought to become a Buddha, a single thought to become a Demon. Back then, your master and I both thought you were the most suitable candidate to inherit the Buddhist Sect. To think... in the first half of my life, my drinking ruined people and affairs, and in the second half, I ruined people and this temple..."

The Monastery Master looked coldly at the old monk. "Lantuo, what are you trying to say?"

The Lantuo Monk looked up at the sky and said, "I merely thought that you had been an effective Sect Leader all these years. I believed that avoiding contact with the secular world and retreating into ascetic cultivation was a blessing for this generation of monks, truly returning to the original intention of the Buddhist Sect’s pure cultivation. To think... it was precisely during these thirty years of pure cultivation that you failed to cultivate your Buddha heart, and instead cultivated a stubbornly demonized Precept Monk."

Then, he looked at Chen Sha and said, "If you had told this old monk all of this before you killed those over a thousand monks, I would have personally handed him over to you and stripped him of his position as Abbot. But now... both of you must pay the price for what you have done."

The old monk looked at Chen Sha and took a deep breath. "You have to take responsibility for the thousand-plus lives here. However, you can rest assured. After taking you down, this old monk won’t spare I Heard either."

"Lantuo!" Upon hearing this, the Monastery Master’s face turned grim. "Do you know what you are saying? Strip me of my position? Do you have the right?"

However, Chen Sha just looked at the two of them with indifference, as if watching two actors. He aimed his words especially at the Lantuo Monk. "You didn’t come out earlier to say all this before I killed them. Now that the damage is done, you decide to show up with your belated help, and you think this counts as upholding justice? You’re all just birds of a feather."

As his words fell, Chen Sha’s tall figure stood erect and imposing like a mountain. His Fist Intent was as vast as the sky, slamming down from above.

BUZZ!

The ground trembled, and even the seven tall Buddha Statues beside them began to sway.

"Claiming one life or taking a thousand is all the same to me. I won’t be picky today; both of your lives belong to me now.

"Take this punch!"

His lofty body stood rooted to the spot. Without moving his feet, he simply threw a straight, ordinary-looking punch. Yet, it contained countless miraculous variations and a Divine Power of supreme and tyrannical might.

BOOM!

Sonic booms suddenly surged through the void, echoing like detonating thunder.

A massive fist shadow leapt out from the void, arriving right in front of I Heard and the Lantuo Monk.

"Hm?"

The originally kind-faced and hunched Lantuo Monk was slightly moved. Buddhist light flickered in his eyes, piercing through the void and clearly seeing the spirit and Fist Intent behind Chen Sha’s punch.

"What an excellent Fist Technique!"

Instantly, the Lantuo Monk put away much of his underestimation and abruptly straightened his posture. His thin, hunched body became ramrod straight in an instant as a mighty aura suddenly rose.

His originally withered, aged skin and tight, exposed ribs immediately bulged and filled out like an inflating balloon. His skin turned a golden yellow, and his veins bulged and throbbed. Every inch of his muscles and bones was filled with an aura of ultimate yang and absolute fortitude.

Where was there any hint of his former scrawniness? Taking a leaping step forward, he clearly transformed into something resembling a Golden Buddha.

"OM!"

The Lantuo Monk’s eyes widened. Facing Chen Sha’s punch, his left palm—which had been held vertically in front of his chest—suddenly spread wide and thrust forward!

With this thrust, it was as if the Great Sun Buddha enshrined in the Buddhist hall had extended his hand from the clouds. It was a massive, brilliantly glowing giant palm; every fingertip shimmered with a golden Buddhist light.

"Great Sun Buddha Palm!"

Seeing the form of this palm strike, I Heard immediately looked at the Lantuo Monk. "No one has been able to master these Martial Arts for three hundred years. To think you’ve actually succeeded..."

However, surprise was just surprise.

As I Heard watched this earth-shattering collision of fist and palm about to happen, a lightning-fast, chilling glare landed on Chen Sha. His white beard trembled slightly. "Even though I do not get along with Lantuo, right now..."

I Heard’s body moved closely following the two. An intense Golden Light surfaced on his body, covering his skin.

BOOM!

In an instant, a terrifying and tyrannical Power suddenly erupted from his body. His pale golden palm radiated a brilliant light, like a golden Taiyang rising into the night sky!

He smashed a punch down toward the top of Chen Sha’s head from high above!

BOOM!

In a split second, thunderous roars echoed within a radius of a hundred zhang. Countless bricks and stones shattered, rising high into the air like a tsunami before violently surging out in all directions!

In the distance.

Yan Chimei, who had finally dashed all the way to the outskirts of the Pure Land Zen Sect, skidded across the ground like a meteor. He carved a trail over a dozen zhang long before coming to a halt. Thick streams of air puffed from his nose and mouth. When he looked up, he arrived just in time to see the scene of I Heard and the Lantuo Monk joining forces to strike Chen Sha.

His pupils shrank. "This is bad..."

The Lantuo Monk alone was a world-shocking expert, having mastered the Great Sun Buddha Palm that no one had been able to learn in three hundred years.

And I Heard was the number one leader of the Buddhist Sect, hardly any inferior.

What he used was the authentic, foundational Sect’s True Scripture of the Buddhist Sect, the *Great Zen Ten Lands Scripture*. This represented the cultivation stages of the Mahayana Bodhisattva Dao. The earth can give life to all things; thus, Buddhist texts often use "lands" to describe the actions of a Bodhisattva that cultivate merit.

The "Ten Lands" referred to the ten important stages of a Bodhisattva’s cultivation.

As soon as this move was executed, Yan Chimei could see clearly that I Heard had already cultivated to the level of the "Ninth Land." Such Power made even him shudder inwardly; he didn’t feel he had absolute certainty of winning against it.

And now, the two of them were teaming up against Chen Sha.

Just as a thought flashed through Yan Chimei’s mind, debating whether he should step in to help Chen Sha...

BOOM!!

Suddenly, within the soaring Fist Intent over the Buddha Worship Plaza, there birthed roaring thunder, rain, snow, wind, and frost—the rotation of the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Immediately after, surges of Divine Demon-like blood vitality roared out from Chen Sha’s body, condensing into faint silhouettes of Divine Spirits in sixteen directions.

With a twist of his punch, these Divine Spirits, rain, snow, thunder, and boundless blood vitality propelled the fist and the Fist Intent forward. It looked just like an assembly of gods pushing the Celestial Realm’s most important Taiyang into rotation.

The straight punch, carrying an utterly dominating stance, crushed onto the supreme techniques of the two great Buddhist Sect experts!

Chen Sha’s eyes were cold and ruthless. "Since I have descended the mountain, I shall crush all enemies! One or two, what difference does it make?"

His words followed his heartbeat.

Carried by the myriad Body Gods within him, this punch viciously smashed into the Lantuo Monk’s and I Heard’s Fist Seals. Fighting one against two, he actually gained the upper hand!

BOOM!
