Chapter 1215 - 316: Demon Lotus’ Frenzied Dance Shakes the World, Bloody Rain Weeps for Martial Arts (Part 2)

However, Zhong Renwang suddenly unleashed the ultimate move "Flying Dragon in the Sky" from the "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms," swooping down from above to attack Master Yuan Chi, and borrowed the Celestial Lotus Sect’s supreme martial art "Celestial Heart Lotus Ring" to amplify the power of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. The ferocity of his Palm Force was rarely seen in this world.

Master Yuan Chi’s kasaya snapped in the wind. As his twin palms surged, the first form of the Buddhist Sect’s "Tathagata Divine Palm," "Auspicious Light First Revealed," came sweeping in, carrying both compassion and majesty. Before the palm wind even arrived, the blue bricks before Zhong Renwang had already cracked inch by inch. Amid flying dust, he bellowed, his iron palms plowing forward like iron plows breaking earth, crashing head-on into the Buddhist Sect’s ultimate skill. Bang! Bang! Two torrents of mighty Inner Strength collided; within three meters around them, tables and stools were instantly ground to powder. The gathered Martial Arts heroes only felt their eardrums ache, nearly fainting.

"Bald donkey, today is the day your Shaolin is buried!" Zhong Renwang snarled with a vicious grin. His mechanical arms suddenly gave off a light "kaka" clack, and the concealed hand cannons abruptly spat out seven streaks of ghostly blue fire.

Master Yuan Chi’s pupils contracted. In his haste he invoked the "Vajra Indestructible Body" Divine Skill to protect himself, yet still could not evade those treacherous angles. Seven lead bullets, like venomous snakes flicking their tongues, pierced through his kasaya and sank into flesh and blood. Fresh blood sprayed; the master staggered several steps and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Master!" Shi Feiyang’s eyes nearly split, his blue robe billowing. The ninth level of Bright Jade Technique, "Infinite Asura’s Human Purgatory," had already been pushed to its peak. Cold air flooded from his whole body; wherever he passed, ice spines formed on the ground. As his twin palms swept out, the fierce saber aura of the "Hundred Victories Saber Technique" poured down like the Milky Way, cleaving straight for Zhong Renwang’s throat.

"Hmph! Petty tricks!" Zhong Renwang sneered coldly and executed the Celestial Lotus Sect’s supreme martial art "Celestial Heart Lotus Ring." Faint golden light rose around him; as his twin palms fluttered, lotus flower phantoms bloomed one after another, actually dissolving Shi Feiyang’s saber momentum piece by piece.

The two traded blows back and forth, saber light and lotus shadows intertwined. Every clash erupted in earth-shaking booms; the air around them was torn apart. The onlooking Martial Arts heroes all retreated in haste, fearing injury from the aftershocks.

Shi Feiyang fought ever more fiercely, ice-blue True Qi and golden saber radiance flaring around him. He shouted, "Red Dust Slash!" A colossal band of golden saber energy swept across the field like a golden crescent moon, its momentum vast and overwhelming.

Zhong Renwang’s face changed slightly; he hurriedly used Lightweight Technique to leap backward, barely dodging this lethal strike.

At that very moment, the Jinyi Guard who had come in disguise suddenly turned on everyone. Brocade Spring Sabers left their scabbards, cold light flashing, like a pack of vicious wolves pouncing upon the Sect Leaders of the various Martial Arts sects and their disciples. "Kill! Leave not a single one alive!" bellowed the leading Commander Wei of the Jinyi Guard, the original Commander of the Imperial Guard Xiang Yushan who had already been demoted. His voice was filled with savagery and cruelty.

Lan Xiaodie let out a contemptuous cold laugh. With a light wave of her jade hand, the Five Poison Sect disciples moved at once, laying down the "Five Poison Illusion Array" on the outer perimeter.

Gu insects flew out of the Ten-Thousand Gu Jar with a buzzing roar, all forms and shapes. Some transformed into shields to block the poison smoke; some shot toward enemies like sharp arrows. In an instant, poisonous mists billowed all around, and screams of agony rose one after another.

Seeing the situation take a foul turn, Zhong Renwang snatched out a Poison Smoke Gourd and hurled it viciously.

Purple-black poison smoke spread like a tide. Wherever it passed, faces changed color; skin festered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Five Poison Sect disciples immediately drove their gu insects. The Golden Silkworm Gu spewed golden silk to weave a poison-blocking net; the Blood Spider Gu sprayed neutralizing venom, engaging the poison smoke in fierce confrontation. On Thousand Deer Plateau, the dying sunset was like blood, dyeing the littered broken swords and scattered halberds a dark red.

Shi Feiyang stood in the center of the blood pool, his blue robe soaked with fresh blood, yet still upright like a solitary pine. Behind him, Master Yuan Chi was surrounded by Shaolin Martial Monks. Seven gunshot wounds gushed blood; his breathing was as thin as a thread.

"What a fine Shi Feiyang, you truly made us spend no small effort!" With a chilling, sinister laugh, three figures slowly stepped out from behind a shattered wall.

At their head, Kang Fusheng’s face was as pale as paper. His right hand stroked the broken Tiger Talisman at his waist; as Fossil Divine Technique circulated, his knuckles gave off a tooth-aching "kaka" crackle. Xiang Yushan stood with arms folded, his robes billowing with no wind—the sign that Wind Pillar Technique had been driven to its peak. Lv Yuan’s hands were hidden within his wide sleeves; wherever he passed, fine white frost formed upon the blue bricks.

Zhong Renwang struggled up from the ground. His noseless face was splattered with blood as he snarled, "Boy, today the four great experts have encircled you for the kill—even a Daluo Golden Immortal could not save you..."

Before the words fell, Shi Feiyang had already roared. Bright Jade Technique’s "Supreme Forgetting Emotions Ice Soul Cold Prison" surged in an instant; jade-like luster spread over his skin. His twin palms turned to blades as he blasted out the first form of the "Hundred Victories Saber Technique," "Cangsong Welcoming Guest." Wherever the palm wind passed, the very air shrieked piercingly.

Kang Fusheng let out a cold laugh, his palm turning ash-green as he struck out against the oncoming palm wind.

Two torrents of hard and fierce power collided, and dust within a ten-zhang radius soared to the sky.

Shi Feiyang only felt the opponent’s Palm Force clamp down upon his meridians like an iron vise. Just as he was about to change moves, he suddenly heard a rush of force from behind. Xiang Yushan’s Wind Pillar Technique had arrived, carrying a force that crushed all resistance, actually condensing into three Wind Blades in midair!

"Careful!" Lan Xiaodie’s delicate shout rang out together with the hiss of a Blood Centipede.

Shi Feiyang spun aside, dodging the Wind Blades, only to see Lv Yuan ghost close upon him, the "Cold Ice Palm" silently striking toward his back. That palm seemed gentle, yet secretly contained a chilling Inner Strength; if it landed, his five viscera and six bowels would be frozen into shards of ice.

At the critical instant, Shi Feiyang’s True Qi suddenly reversed direction, the vortex-like suction of Bright Jade Technique erupting. Lv Yuan only felt his footing falter; his whole body was dragged forward beyond his control. Seizing the chance, Shi Feiyang executed "Golden Dragon Grasping Claw" of the "Hundred Victories Saber Technique." Saber light along his palm edge surged three feet long, cleaving straight for Lv Yuan’s throat.
