Chapter 177: Chapter 161: One Qi Transformation of Mountains and Rivers!

GONG!

A sound like a striking Golden Bell spread wildly across the sky of Huaiyin City, deafening to the ears. This muffled resonance, like heavy metal and iron, was a sound that not even the bronze bells of any Buddhist Temple in the world could produce. Yet, it came from a person’s body.

Pang Saint didn’t know how many times he had used the Golden Body of "Demon Saint Long Zaitian" to block Chen Sha’s fatal fists.

PANT!

Over the course of a month, he had become unkempt and unshaven. Although he still wore the attire of a storyteller, he no longer had the image of a scholar.

"Chen Sha! I will not share the same sky as you!" Pang Saint cursed through gritted teeth.

For how many years had no one forced him into such a wretched state? Pursued relentlessly for a whole month, he couldn’t even eat or sleep in peace. The dignified number three in the world, Pang Saint, who intimidated both the Black and White Paths, now didn’t even have the courage to stop for a sip of water or a bite of food. Because the moment he stopped, Chen Sha would catch up and suppress him with terrifying Fist Power, each punch aiming for his life.

A month’s time made Pang Saint fully experience the formidable Physique and Qi Power of Chen Sha. This Daoist Sect Master seemed to not know fatigue. Although he was a peak expert of the Great Innate Level, he was now exhausted and utterly drained amidst a month of life-and-death pursuit. However, every time Chen Sha caught up, he showed no signs of such negative conditions. Although Chen Sha also had times to rest, the physical and Qi Power recovery, as well as the vitality states between the two, were completely not on the same level.

But no matter how much Pang Saint cursed and hated in his heart, he didn’t dare to linger. Stopping meant all his previous efforts would be wasted. Moreover, in his current state, falling into Chen Sha’s hands wouldn’t just be a matter of having the Golden Body stolen; it was a matter of life and death.

Just like that, under the watchful eyes of many Martial Artists in Huaiyin City, the two of them—one in front and one behind, separated by less than a hundred zhang—fought while chasing and fleeing. They battled their way out of Huaiyin City, heading toward Shaobai Mountain behind the city.

"That direction..." someone in Huaiyin City exclaimed. "It seems to be that person’s place of retreat."

Even Chen Sha, who had been pursuing him all the way, sensed Pang Saint’s intention. He stared intently at the direction the fleeing Pang Saint was heading. "Shaobai Mountain, Pine Garden... So he wants to find Wang Zaixiang to share the pressure," he murmured.

The whole world knew that after Wang Zaixiang, the world’s number two, resigned as the Prime Minister of the Jin Country, he lived in seclusion at the Pine Garden on Shaobai Mountain. Even under normal circumstances, many younger generations from the court, the public, and the Martial Arts world went to visit him. And this elderly number two expert in the world seemed to refuse no one. He was especially willing to offer a pointer or two to the younger generation of the Martial Arts world. As a result, this elder had an excellent reputation in the Martial Arts world. Many people claimed to be Wang Zaixiang’s Named Disciples, giving this number two in the world a sense of having students all over the world.

"Do you think you’ll be safe once you find Wang Zaixiang?" Chen Sha’s eyes were indifferent. He already possessed a Physique of Nineteen Gods Great Success. Coupled with his various methods, he didn’t fear any of the top three in the world.

In a life-and-death battle, Pang Saint would most likely be beaten to death by him. But this man was thick-skinned; he only knew how to run after snatching the item, forcing Chen Sha to chase him for a month.

However, it was also during this month that Chen Sha had gained quite a lot. He already had the Qi Stealing Technique and Cosmic Light Fragments. During the month-long pursuit, he had long since evolved Pang Saint’s "Heaven and Earth Qiankun Yin Yang Copper Furnace Technique" within the Cosmic Light Fragments. In addition, Pang Saint’s various methods within the Cosmic Light Fragments had also been completely evolved by him.

As a result, during the month-long pursuit, Chen Sha went from being somewhat wary of the Demon Saint Golden Body at first, to later completely deducing Pang Saint’s Cultivation Techniques and flaws. The other party was left with only the strength to flee, completely lacking the capital to fight him.

Furthermore, Pang Saint’s Cultivation Technique was the "Heaven and Earth Qiankun Yin Yang Copper Furnace Technique", which emphasized the mysteries of the human body and the Yin and Yang of heaven and earth. This perfectly allowed Chen Sha to draw parallels and gain insights into the Left Yin Vein and Right Yang Meridian in his body. He sensed the Yin and Yang meridian Divine Spirits among the Twenty-four Gods—"Fu Liuqi" and "Bao Mingbiao".

Although this month of pursuit left Chen Sha with no time to enter the Cosmic Light Fragments to obtain True Qi and cultivate these two Divine Spirits to Great Success, his mere comprehension of these two parts allowed his Physique to reach a state of the "Yin-Yang Cycle," taking his Physique and Cultivation to the next level.

With the Cultivation Power that faintly touched upon the level of the Twenty-one Gods, even if he encountered Wang Zaixiang, he had some certainty of victory. Therefore, Chen Sha was completely unafraid of Pang Saint’s schemes, directly chasing him all the way to the Pine Garden on Shaobai Mountain.

Pine Garden.

This was a manor situated at the foot of Shaobai Mountain. Unlike other estates that planted exotic flowers and rare herbs, it was filled with verdant cypresses and ancient pines. The route Chen Sha and Pang Saint were taking had long been reported here in advance. The three sons of the Wang family hadn’t even had time to quickly gather and discuss a countermeasure, when a voice rang out through the vast sky.

"Wang Zaixiang, as long as you help me block him, I can share the secret of this Golden Body with you!"

Pang Saint’s urgent voice accompanied his figure, which sped over from afar like a shooting star. And in an instant, his voice echoed through every corner of the Pine Garden.
