Chapter 216: Chapter 23: A Grandmaster of This World, Unable to Move a Finger! (6K, Double-Length Chapter)_2
One of the middle-aged venerables had already made a daring move. His eyes bulged with anger, his body bathed in Buddha’s light, and strings of Buddha Beads floated up, encircling him.
These Buddha Beads contained the formidable might of a Spiritual Treasure, able to bestow upon him half of his strength. He offered up his Divine Soul and, along with his own body, employed the Grandmaster technique. With a punch, he smashed towards the chess piece atop Qin Wuque’s head!
That chess piece was like a condensed sun, emitting the ultimate brilliant light, too dazzling to look directly at.
The middle-aged venerable’s fist contained the doctrine of stillness, the essence of using calm to conquer motion. At this moment, although he struck out in anger, his motion seemed extremely slow; however, his power was not to be underestimated!
With a resounding boom, the earth-shattering punch that blasted with a sonic boom ferociously struck the chess piece.
Just when everyone thought he was about to shatter that fingertip’s brilliant light, suddenly, the middle-aged venerable seemed to have been severely hit. The sleeves of his arms burst apart, his Kasaya flowing and his body thrown backward!
Blood dripped down profusely from his fist, his skin split open, revealing ghastly White Bone!
Pupils constricted, everyone was shocked beyond measure.
The middle-aged venerable kept retreating, only stopping when the middle-aged Arhat supported his back. However, there was a surge of blood flowing in reverse in his face; he violently spat out a mouthful of blood, his pale complexion staring in shock at that chess piece, which was gathering the world’s brilliant light.
He had felt an incredibly strong reflective force emanating from this small chess piece, like punching an iron plate. At the same time, all the force he had exerted was returned to him in full!
He was caught unguarded, which was why he suffered such a severe injury. Although the toughness of his physical body was stronger than an average person in the Heavenly Human Realm, thanks to the Buddhist golden elixirs that fortified his body, it still fell short of a true Body Refinement practitioner’s.
At this moment, his internal organs were shaken, his blood flowed erratically, causing his eyes and nose to seep with blood.
“Impossible, what kind of Dao is this?”
He said, trembling and in disbelief.
The middle-aged Arhat, hearing his words, had an ugly expression on his face.
The other two venerables were also stunned, not expecting that the young man could suppress Qin Wuque with one move and still have the power to fend them off.
Without further ado, the two of them attacked one after another.
Both were in the Buddha Nature Realm, their Divine Souls like coated with a layer of gold sand, burning with divine flames, their Buddha Natures dignified, radiating immense oppressive force.
Out of consideration for Mount Wuliang’s reputation, they did not attack Li Hao at the same time, but rather one after the other.
One tried to lift that placed chess piece, while the other intended to take the opportunity to pull out Qin Wuque.
Li Hao had seen through their intentions. The more Mount Wuliang behaved this way, the more he wanted to ensure they lost all face!
The power to control objects transformed into an invisible, insurmountable high wall, and at the same time, Li Hao integrated all the ways of the world that he had comprehended into this force.
Yin Yang and the Five Elements, revolution of the sun, moon, and stars, mountains, rivers, birds, and beasts, and so on.
It could deflect power, reduce damage, transfer attacks, redirect strength elsewhere, and even conceal deadly moves in an attack, emerging unpredictably like mushrooms after the rain!
With various concepts and martial thoughts merged, his attacks became unpredictable, far surpassing the simple Yin-Yang Dao or that of the ape technique, encompassing too many variations!
Even an ordinary practitioner from the Three Immortal Realms would be slain by his sword, unable to resist the myriad changes in his attacks, let alone these Grandmasters.
Boom!
The venerable who swung the Demon-Subduing Pestle at the chess piece felt a surging power collide with him, and he hastily deployed the Buddhist Peerless Technique, the Nine Heavens Demon-Suppressing Skill!
The Demon-Subduing Pestle sought to crush the small, ordinary stone with the might of countless mountains pressing down!
But as he struck his attack, he felt as if his Demon-Subduing Pestle was stuck in an invisible swamp, the great power seemingly disappearing into the sea, devoured, absorbed!
Before he could react, an even more ferocious force rebounded back.
Caught off guard, the hand that held the Demon-Subduing Pestle trembled, his palm split open, and then an invisible force struck his chest, sweeping him and the Demon-Subduing Pestle out of the Debate Platform and crashing to the ground!
On the other side, the venerable with the kind face of an old man attempted to drag Qin Wuque out while his companion occupied Li Hao, but when it was time to make his move, he saw his companion being repelled.
His expression changed dramatically, and then he heard the whistling sound of the wind approaching.
It was another hand of Li Hao’s Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation slapping down, the fingers flicking a shot!
The flicked middle finger was like a sweeping mountain ridge, carrying the momentum of severing heaven and earth as it charged towards him.
The old man’s face went pale with fright, a trace of terror in his eyes. He hastily threw out a golden disc that grew as the wind caught it, rapidly expanding and spinning in front of him. A beast’s head shadow leaped from the disc to roar at the approaching attack, but as it revealed itself, it was immediately struck by the Law Manifestation’s flick.
The beast’s head crumbled, the disc resonated like a gong, blown away and hitting the old man’s chest, propelling him into the air along with it. He plunged into the Dragon River.
The waves of the Dragon River instantly engulfed him, but not long after, he re-emerged, staggering back onto the Debate Platform, soaked through, his face deathly pale.
In just a brief moment, two venerables had made their moves and both been defeated. All the spectators were in shock. Li Hao, while pinning down Qin Wuque with a single move, also managed to defeat three Mount Wuliang venerables effortlessly. What sort of monster was this young man?!
Tianji Tower had previously ranked him fifth on the Qian Dragon List, and many thought it was inflated. But now, it seemed clear that it was the list itself that was undervaluing him!
Such terrifying strength, yet only ranked fifth? It was simply a joke!
