Chapter 444 - 214: Take a Palm from Me! See If You’re Qualified?

Chapter 444: Chapter 214: Take a Palm from Me! See If You’re Qualified?

Instantly, all the monks lost control. A host of negative emotions surfaced, and their minds began to collapse.

"Ah, I don’t want to be a martyr! I don’t want to be a martyr anymore! I want to run for my life! I don’t want to die!"

"I don’t want to die either! I want to screw women..."

"Let’s run for it..."

"I still have so much to do! I can’t die here..."

The monks who had just been clamoring to become martyrs were now screaming in terror, scrambling desperately to get away.

This was another effect of the Unwarranted Heart Fire.

They weren’t afraid of a simple death.

No matter how fiercely the flames burned, it would have only strengthened their resolve to become martyrs, making them channel their energy into the great array even more desperately.

But now, Chen Xuan had used the Unwarranted Heart Fire to stir their inner demons and infinitely magnify their desires. This made them abandon any thought of martyrdom, sending them fleeing for their lives in a panic.

Sometimes, a sugar-coated bullet is more terrifying than a real one.

And that was exactly the case here.

[A group of monks has been detected with collapsed minds. You are exceptionally pleased. Retribution points +1,000,000!]

A line of text materialized.

The three head monks’ hearts went cold, and a mix of shock and fury rose within them. They quickly looked toward the monks scattering in every direction.

"Come back! All of you, come back!"

"How dare you! This is a sacred place of Buddhist precepts, and you’re thinking about screwing women?"

"Get back here at once!"

The three head monks roared in anger.

"There are women in the back hills of the temple! Let’s all go find them!"

"They’re the three head monks’ lovers..."

"Why can they keep lovers and we can’t? It’s not fair..."

"Exactly! Let’s all have some fun!"

A group of flaming figures rushed toward the back hills.

But as they ran, some of them screamed in agony and turned to ash.

"Oh?"

Chen Xuan’s eyes flashed, and a smile touched his lips.

An unexpected bonus!

"Hahaha..."

His thunderous voice echoed between heaven and earth. Bolstered by the Unity of Heaven and Man, his strength grew even more terrifying. He put all his force into his hands and tore violently at the giant Buddha palm in the sky.

The power of the Buddha palm was already rapidly diminishing.

Without the combined support of all the monks, the three head monks alone were no longer able to sustain it.

BOOM!!

The entire great array was ripped apart on the spot, and even the massive Buddha silhouette split in two.

Waves of terrifying, unpredictable energy erupted forth, surging and churning. The potent aura of power blasted out in all directions.

The entire sky burned with intense heat.

The golden energy spread out like dazzling ripples, illuminating the world so thoroughly that a beam of light broke through the original darkness.

And beneath this golden light, stood Chen Xuan. His body was enormous, with a green face, long fangs, and vermilion hair. Clad in a purple robe, his eyes shone like the sun and moon. Bathed in the golden glow, he was an indescribably intimidating sight.

’It’s over!!’

The faces of the three head monks turned deathly pale. They swayed, their expressions filled with terror, nearly collapsing to the ground on the spot.

The Vajra Demon Suppression Array was broken!!

Now they were finished.

"You’ve really given me quite a surprise, haven’t you?"

A savage grin spread across Chen Xuan’s face. He lowered his head, his pair of golden eyes fixing on the three head monks. "Keeping little lovers on the side," he chuckled. "Tell me, is there anything you won’t do?"

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Liao Chen, the head of the Precepts Hall, spoke up quickly. "Young Hero Chen, as the saying goes, it’s better to resolve grievances than to create them. Isn’t it the medicinal pill you’re after? Once it’s finished refining, we’re willing to return it to you directly. Please, stay your hand. What do you say?"

He had no choice but to use a stalling tactic.

After all, Master Kongjian had already left in secret to summon reinforcements.

Given their temple’s reputation built over countless years, and with Master Kongjian personally making the request, the various major powers would surely grant them this favor.

Besides, Chen Xuan had previously killed so many people at the Dark Crossing and the Qianling City Lord’s Mansion.

Those great powers must hate him to the bone.

All they had to do now was stall for time. Once Master Kongjian returned, Chen Xuan would be doomed!

And as long as Chen Xuan was dead, wouldn’t they be able to spin the story about the pill however they wanted?

"So now you want to call it quits?"

A smile appeared on Chen Xuan’s face.

He had to admit, these monks had truly pushed shamelessness to its absolute limit.

’Do they take me for a fool?’

"Yes, we were wrong before. We hope you won’t hold it against us. The pill you seek... as soon as it’s ready, we will deliver it to you immediately..."

Liao Chen, the head of the Precepts Hall, continued.

"Alright. But first, you have to take one of my palm strikes. We’ll see if you’re qualified."

A smile touched Chen Xuan’s lips. "I’m a fair man," he said. "Just now, you had me trapped in your great array and gave me a pretty good beating. Now that you’ve had your turn, it’s mine!"

RUMBLE!

A massive, demonic palm, like one from beyond the heavens, descended ferociously upon Liao Chen. It blazed with golden flames, possessing terrifying might and boundless strength.

It was impossibly fast!

Impossibly powerful!

It gave him no time to react.

Terror seized Liao Chen’s heart. He felt as if the very heavens were crashing down to annihilate him.

In that moment, it was as if he were a mere ant, and Chen Xuan was the vast, unforgiving sky.

He desperately circulated his Power and frantically activated his Cultivation Technique. A massive golden bell appeared, encasing him completely, as countless runes lit up around him.

But it was useless!

Against Chen Xuan’s terrifying, descending palm...

...all resistance was like a fleeting cloud.

CRACK!!

RUMBLE!

A deafening explosion erupted. Golden ripples swept out from the area, instantly shattering an untold number of buildings. Dust and stones flew through the air as a web of cracks spread across the ground.
