Chapter 562 A Powerful Figure Appears
In the blink of an eye, the sweeping monk once again used his internal energy, and in a moment, three streams of rich internal energy surged out from his body.
Immediately.
These three streams of true energy directly formed a wall of energy.
This is the Sweeper Monk's strongest defensive move: the Three-Foot Qi Wall!
After the three-foot-high qi wall was formed, the sweeping monk showed a bit of confidence. In his opinion, although Zhu Ying was a martial arts master in the Gangqi Realm, as long as he had this three-foot-high qi wall, he could completely block the Six Meridians Divine Sword released by Zhu Ying!
It can only be said that the Sweeping Monk underestimated Zhu Ying's strength.
Suddenly.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the three-foot-high barrier of energy in front of the Sweeping Monk was instantly breached by Zhu Ying!
even.
The powerful energy of the Six Meridians Divine Sword rushed directly towards the sweeping monk.
Upon seeing this, the latter's confident expression instantly turned into panic!
Clearly, the Sweeping Monk never expected that Zhu Ying's Six Meridians Divine Sword could actually break through the three-foot-high qi barrier he had created.
"what!"
The Six Meridians Divine Sword's energy pierced directly into the sweeping monk, who immediately let out a miserable scream!
Immediately... the sweeping monk fell heavily from the void.
On the city tower.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately praised Zhu Biao beside him, saying, "As expected of my grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang's strength is indeed formidable."
"Even a half-step Qi Refining expert is no match for Xiong Ying."
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang was somewhat nervous about Zhu Ying, but when he saw that Zhu Ying had seriously injured the Sweeper Monk with just one move, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally in a great mood.
Zhu Biao, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, also exclaimed, "Father is right. Since Xiong Ying entered the Gang Qi Realm, his strength has indeed improved a lot."
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao had both practiced martial arts, and both of them were Grandmaster-level experts. Therefore, both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao could naturally sense how strong the internal energy was in Zhu Ying's body.
At this time.
Above the void, Zhu Ying himself could hardly believe that he had actually broken through the sweeping monk's three-foot-long qi barrier with a single move.
At this moment, Zhu Ying finally gained some understanding of the legendary Qi Refining Realm strength.
"How is this possible..."
The sweeping monk struggled to his feet. He looked at Zhu Ying with shock, and even at that moment, his eyes revealed panic.
It should be noted that the Sweeper Monk, as one of only two half-step Qi Refining masters in Shaolin, holds an extremely high position in this [Comprehensive Martial World].
and.
In their previous encounters, the Sweeper Monk was invincible and unmatched.
But today, for the first time, this sweeping monk felt fear.
At this moment, Zhu Ying, standing in the void, said coldly to the sweeping monk, "Bald monk, your strength is nothing more than this."
"You think you can get revenge? Hmph, you're just overestimating yourself."
Faced with Zhu Ying's mockery, the sweeping monk was so enraged that he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"Who...who exactly are you?!"
As for the Sweeper Monk at that time, he was already very clear that with his current strength, it was impossible for him to kill Zhu Ying. His only question was why such a top expert had suddenly appeared in the world.
"I will say it again: I am the grandson of the Ming Emperor!"
Clearly, Zhu Ying didn't want to waste any more time with this sweeping monk, so the next second, Zhu Ying directly unleashed the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.
In an instant, a fierce wind arose in mid-air!
Clearly, Zhu should take this seriously.
A ball of golden true energy quickly gathered in Zhu Ying's palm, and after a moment, this true energy transformed into protective energy.
Suddenly!
This intense aura transformed into eighteen giant dragons gleaming with golden light!
It should be noted that when Zhu Ying successfully advanced to the Gangqi Realm, he once used Gangqi to conjure a giant dragon.
This time, Zhu Ying released his internal energy without reservation.
In addition, there's the added benefit of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms technique!
Therefore, at this moment, the qi released by Zhu Ying was forcibly transformed into eighteen giant dragons.
Immediately, the eighteen giant dragons attacked the Sweeper Monk from different directions.
At this moment, the pressure once again fell on the Sweeping Monk.
As the surrounding Shaolin monks watched the eighteen giant dragons hurtling towards them with lightning speed, the sweeping monk's expression changed drastically.
He didn't even have time to think about it.
Because he knew in his heart that if the previous three-foot-high barrier of air couldn't stop the opponent, then continuing to defend would definitely not work.
The sweeping monk immediately channeled all his inner energy, and a layer of golden Buddhist light shone from his body. He then quickly unleashed the Shaolin secret technique, the Vajra Indestructible Body.
In the sweeping monk's view, he had to use his strongest techniques to withstand the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms of the Qi Refining Realm.
As for the Sweeper Monk, his strongest defensive technique is naturally his indestructible body.
This is Shaolin's top defensive martial art. When mastered, it makes the body incredibly hard, and ordinary attacks cannot harm the user.
"Oh!"
With a deafening roar, the eighteen giant dragons slammed into the Buddha statue of the sweeping monk.
Instantly, a violent shockwave spread outwards, and at that moment, the entire earth seemed to crack open.
Absolutely stunning!
At this moment, the sweeping monk's body swayed violently, and the Buddhist light on his body instantly weakened by more than half!
In an instant.
The indestructible body formed by the sweeping monk exhausting his internal energy instantly cracked.
"Bang!!"
Another loud bang.
This time, the sweeping monk completely lost his balance and fell to the ground again, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
In this hard-fought battle, his injuries were even more severe than before.
Zhu Yuanzhang, watching from the city tower, was extremely interested and clapped his hands, laughing loudly, "Excellent! The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms are indeed powerful and fierce! Our grandson is truly gifted!"
"To have defeated a Shaolin monk at such a young age, leaving him utterly helpless, we'd like to see who dares to challenge Xiong Ying in the future!"
Zhu Biao, standing to the side, nodded repeatedly, his face beaming with joy, and said, "Father is right. Xiong Ying's martial arts and techniques have long surpassed all the strongmen in this martial arts world. Even a half-step Qi Refining expert is no match for him."
"This sweeping monk is truly facing his death today."
at the same time.
The fight between Zhu Ying and the Sweeping Monk attracted many onlookers.
The crowd gathered below the city gate witnessed Zhu Ying so easily injuring the sweeping monk, and the murmurs of discussion among the people immediately rose and fell.
"My goodness, the grandson of the Ming emperor is too strong! He actually defeated this sweeping monk with ease."
"That's the Sweeping Monk of Shaolin Temple, a top figure at the half-step Qi Refining Realm, almost no one can fight him. But now he's being suppressed by the Imperial Grandson!"
"As expected of a member of the Ming Dynasty's royal family, it is a blessing for our Ming Dynasty and its people to have such a person."
"I used to think that the Shaolin masters were extremely skilled, but now it seems that even 10 sweeping monks are no match for His Highness the Imperial Prince."
All eyes were focused on Zhu Ying in the void.
now.
The sweeping monk quickly regulated his internal energy and then struggled to his feet. He could clearly feel his internal energy in disarray, and his meridians severely damaged!
Through these two encounters with Zhu Ying.
He also understood that simply defending was not an option; if they continued fighting, they would eventually be defeated.
Rather than waiting to die, it's better to fight to the death.
Thinking of this, the sweeping monk's eyes hardened, and he no longer held back.
Clearly, he was determined to take Zhu Ying down with him.
He took a deep breath, mobilizing all the remaining true energy and even the accumulated qi within his body, enveloping his entire body in a layer of deep yellow qi.
This sweeping monk was, after all, a master at the half-step Gangqi realm.
Although his internal energy was not comparable to Zhu Ying's, he still possessed some internal energy.
This time, in order to severely injure Zhu Ying, the Sweeper Monk did not hesitate to release all the remaining internal energy in his body.
He then waved his hands continuously and shouted to Zhu Ying in the void, "Today, this humble monk will let you experience the power of Shaolin's ultimate techniques."
As soon as the Sweeper Monk finished speaking, the qi he released formed dense palm energy!
This is the Sweeper Monk's strongest martial art, the Turtle Breathing Palm.
This palm technique can be used for both defense and offense. As for the Sweeper Monk, he would never use it unless it was a matter of life and death. Now, with the addition of Qi, its power is naturally several times greater than before.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Ying raised an eyebrow slightly, revealing that he was somewhat surprised.
He thought his opponent was no longer able to fight, but he didn't expect him to have such a trick up his sleeve. Moreover, the palm strike was filled with pure qi, which was not to be underestimated.
However, he was not flustered at all. He had already reached the Qi Refining Realm and was not afraid of his opponent risking their lives.
"go to hell!"
With a roar from the sweeping monk, the powerful Turtle Breath Zen Palm, imbued with inner energy, rushed directly towards Zhu Ying!
Zhu Yingye then used his internal energy once again.
Suddenly.
A thick wall of protective energy reappeared in front of Zhu Ying!
Although the sweeping monk's Turtle Breath Palm technique was incredibly powerful, it was utterly insignificant in the face of this wall of protective energy.
"boom!!"
Another loud bang.
The protective energy wall successfully blocked the sweeping monk's fatal blow!
"This... how is this possible?" The sweeping monk was completely panicked.
You must know that this palm strike was the culmination of the Sweeper Monk's life's work, yet it couldn't harm Zhu Yingyi in the slightest. This plunged the Sweeper Monk into despair.
And this time.
Zhu Ying also gradually lost patience.
Through his exchange with the Sweeper Monk, Zhu Ying had a general idea of his strength after advancing to the Qi Refining Realm.
Now, Zhu Ying wants to end this duel.
His expression hardened, and the aura surrounding his body changed drastically!
The aura gradually expanded, and at the same time, the entire sky became covered with dark clouds!
It is clear.
Zhu Yingshi displayed the martial arts realm!
Moreover, it's a martial arts domain at the Qi Condensation Realm!
The martial arts domain slowly unfolded, covering the entire sky, and he controlled everything within it.
Upon seeing this, the Sweeping Monk turned pale. He knew very well that this was the realm of martial arts.
Therefore, the sweeping monk did not dare to hesitate and quickly activated all the true energy in his body, and also opened his own Zen domain, with Buddha light surrounding him!
In a flash!
The two domains collided instantly with a deafening roar, causing the air to tremble violently as if they were about to split apart at any moment.
The two sides are squeezing and colliding with each other!
At the same time, Zhu Ying coldly looked at the sweeping monk who was struggling to hold on, and slowly raised his hand to unleash the Ecstasy Palm.
Instantly, it struck directly into the opponent's territory.
"Bang bang bang!"
It must be said that Zhu Ying's strength is still superior.
As soon as Zhu Ying unleashed the Ecstasy Palm, the Sweeper Monk's domain collapsed!
At the same time, the Sweeper Monk lost his balance again and was knocked down by Zhu Ying.
The sweeping monk kept spitting out mouthfuls of blood. At this moment, he was covered in wounds and his breath was weak. It could be said that he had completely lost the ability to resist.
The outcome is already decided.
Zhu Ying remained expressionless, raised his hand to gather his inner energy, intending to kill the sweeping monk directly.
At this critical moment, a long, melodious Zen sound suddenly came from afar, resounding throughout the heavens and earth!
"Please have mercy, benefactor."
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man dressed in ancient monk's robes slowly appeared from the depths of the void!
This person was none other than Bodhidharma, the founder of Shaolin Temple.
Bodhidharma waved his hand gently, and a dense aura of energy immediately swept in, successfully blocking Zhu Ying's attack on the sweeping monk.
"boom!"
As the two streams of energy collided, a fierce wind suddenly arose.
At that moment, when the sweeping monk saw Bodhidharma arrive, a hope for survival immediately appeared on his face.
The sweeping monk immediately called out, "Bodhidharma, what brings you here?"
According to the sweeping monk, Bodhidharma had been cultivating in seclusion in the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Repository for decades. No matter what happened in the outside world, Bodhidharma never showed up, nor did he ever inquire about it.
It's as if they've disappeared from this world.
But now, Bodhidharma has appeared in the capital of Songzhou.
This surprised the Sweeper Monk quite a bit.
The sweeping monk said calmly, "I have come here to rescue you. Of course, I also want to see who has broken through to the Qi Refining Realm."
At this moment, Zhu Ying, who had remained silent, looked at Bodhidharma with disdain and said, "You are the founder of Shaolin Temple? If I'm not mistaken, you are also at the half-step Qi Refining Realm, right?"
"In that case, you two can come at me together."
"This time, I'll just wipe out your Shaolin Temple completely."
Zhu Ying had naturally heard of the name of Bodhidharma. It could be said that Bodhidharma was the strongest martial arts master in the Song Kingdom, without exception.
Even Bodhidharma's strength was far superior to that of this sweeping monk.
Although both of them are experts at the half-step Qi Refining Realm, there are still differences in strength even among those at the half-step Qi Refining Realm.
Without a doubt, Bodhidharma was the one who was even higher.
"Namo Amitabha Buddha, well done, well done."
"Why are you so obsessed with killing? Wouldn't it be better to lay down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot?"
As Bodhidharma finished speaking, Zhu Ying sneered, "I despise hypocrites like you the most."
"The reason you, old monk, came out of seclusion was to kill me and absorb the internal energy within me, wasn't it? Stop pretending to be so righteous."
To be fair, what Zhu Ying said was exactly what Bodhidharma truly thought.
If Bodhidharma hadn't sensed a powerful surge of energy, he would never have left the mountain.
Bodhidharma's purpose in coming here was to kill Zhu Ying and seize his internal energy, thus enabling him to break through to the Qi Refining Realm. (End of Chapter)
