Chapter 103 The Fall of the Vajra Gate_1
Atop Pingkang Mountain, rocks trembled.
A lean figure suddenly burst forth, soaring into the midair.
More than thirty Golden Eagle Commandants had been watching for a long time. Led by two deputy generals, they were somewhat caught off guard, but their actions were not a split second slow.
"Lock him down!"
Cold chains, like serpents, shot out, binding the man in the air tightly in an instant.
Dozens of Demon-Suppressing Chains were pulled taut. The two deputy generals concentrated and stabilized their breaths, stepping on the Formation Eyes, channeling everyone's spirit to converge on the chains.
They then extracted the Specially-made Silver Hooks for threading through the Pipa Bone, ready to step into the air, but their expression suddenly changed.
The chains grew tighter. These things could lock up even Condensation Elixir Demons, naturally they couldn't break, the problem lay with the dozens of Demon Suppression Marshals below.
Their facial features twisted, veins on their foreheads bulging, grasping the chains with all their might.
Boots sank into the ground, knees cracking.
Even so, the figure in the air was still slightly shaking.
"..."
Jiang Chengyun stood with his hands behind his back on the top of a tall ancient cypress tree.
With the scene in the distance in sight, he felt slightly surprised: "Such overbearing Body Refining techniques."
Only a true Condensation Elixir Realm practitioner could understand the terrifying chasm between themselves and the Jade Liquid Boundary, and at this moment the strength exhibited by the abbot had almost surpassed half... perhaps even more.
The abbot of Vajra Gate gazed down below, then at the Demon-Suppressing Chains wrapped around him, followed by him grabbing the chains with his hands.
His consciousness seemed to become somewhat clearer.
The sly smile on his face faded, replaced by endless indifference.
"Below Condensation Elixir, I am invincible."
With his words, he casually pulled, causing dozens of Commandants to stagger.
"Above Condensation Elixir..."
The abbot unhurriedly removed the chains from his body, displaying ease: "Might as well have a fight."
"Heh."
Jiang Chengyun shook his head, not bothering to mentally refute the other's statement.
He extended his hand, quickly gathering a wisp of black and white aura. With the abbot's skill, he already had the capital to escape; even if he personally took action, he couldn't be too careless.
Just about to leap down from the treetop, he paused in his motion.
A figure in an ink-black robe suddenly stepped out from the great hall's doorway, without a moment's hesitation, the whole person shot into the midair in an instant.
A swift, decisive kick landed heavily on the abbot's shoulder!
Bang!!
The old abbot was still leisurely removing chains when, caught off guard, his lean figure was abruptly smashed down.
Boom—
From him as the center, fissures rapidly spread across the ground.
The abbot of Vajra Gate lay in the deep pit, looking up with incomprehension at the figure above, only to see Shen Yi adjusting his collar, casually undoing the cumbersome Fierce Wolf Cloak, and once again pouncing down!
Leading with the Intercepting Veins and Capturing Dragons technique.
His fists pounded down like a rainstorm!
The abbot rolled up to his feet, countering with fists and palms. Both men were unabashed and straightforward in their movement, without a trace of frivolity, savage and crisp!
Trees thick enough to be embraced by several people fell upon contact, and age-worn rocks cracked upon touch.
This spectacle made the spectators' hearts race. Neither seemed to possess the strength fitting of the Jade Liquid Boundary.
"..."
Jiang Chengyun silently watched from afar.
In such exchanges between Refinement Martial Arts Masters, who would win and who would lose was not clear, even to him.
He began reassessing Shen Yi's strength.
No wonder he dared to be so arrogant. Not only did he possess a Jade Liquid Perfection cultivation at a young age, but he also had an astonishingly powerful conditioned body.
Even if he did not come today, Shen Yi could at least ensure his own safety against the Vajra Gate's abbot, if not defeat him.
Excellent! Excellent!
Arrogance without the strength to back it is mere conceit, but with power enough to match such arrogance, that is a true talent!
Qingzhou needs such new blood, and only with abilities like these can one be qualified to stand behind Jiang Qiulan in the future!
Jiang Chengyun was unwilling to bring up children for Chen Qiankun, and he cared even less for his grandmother's inexplicable kindness.
But at this moment, he took a slow step towards the treetop ahead, making sure to wrap things up for his younger colleagues who hadn't fully matured yet was not a problem.
Just then.
Shen Yi, who was fighting with the abbot, calmly glanced into the distance.
Under that sudden gaze, Jiang Chengyun frowned slightly: "..."
Was it possible that, despite being in the midst of battle, the other party still had the capacity to observe the surroundings simply because he had revealed a trace of his aura?
And, what did that reminding look mean?
Jiang Chengyun's face changed slightly... He really didn't intend to steal the limelight this time; it seemed that the young man was adapting faster to the role of the Silver Bell Demon Catcher than they had anticipated.
"You thief who dares to steal our techniques!"
The Vajra Gate abbot suddenly let out a long howl, extreme anger in his voice, the black and white colors on his arms fully displayed, the power within them even surpassing that of earlier by a fraction of three!
Clearly, he had recognized where Shen Yi's horizontally trained body came from.
His anger was mixed with jealousy!
The Bodhi Vajra Tree, having been depleted by martial artists without any understanding of Buddha's teachings, had already withered. Where on earth did the other party find such a similar spiritual plant? If it had been obtained by their own people, there would have been no need to go through the trouble of trying to revitalize Vajra Gate with other martial techniques.
Moreover, the young man's strength had already far surpassed the limit of the Bodhi Vajra Body, and compared to his own half-learned Condensation Elixir Tempering Method, he was only slightly lacking.
If he hadn't finally reached completion today, he would have really fallen into his hands.
"..."
Shen Yi regulated his breathing, and his last thrusting punch sealed the monk's right arm.
Even with the enhancement of many skills such as the Power of the Jiao Demon, the Hundred-refined Crocodile Dragon Body, and the upper-grade Body Refinement Martial Arts of the Jade Liquid Boundary, it was still somewhat difficult.
The Intercepting Veins and Capturing Dragons was obstructed by the black and white colors and did not work very well; it only managed to slow his movements slightly, barely enough to prevent the escape.
In an instant, the Straight Ceremonial Knife was unsheathed.
He activated Greed Wolf Banishes Evil with all his strength, and the blade instantly turned pitch black without reflection, stabbing straight into the heart of the abbot and penetrating an inch into the flesh.
The old monk brought his palms together, trapping the blade between them.
The muscles pierced by the knife edge quickly bulged, the black and white light flickering uncertainly, managing to push the blade out bit by bit.
"I've said it before, below the Condensation Elixir Realm, I am invincible!"
The abbot's face twisted into a ferocious grin, chilling laughter accompanying his slowly exerted force in an attempt to snap the straight blade!
Shen Yi's expression remained unchanged, the only difference being the surge of crimson in his eyes.
Experience more tales on empire
The Sun Melting Furnace composed of countless dark red veins roared to life for an instant; the Outer Elixir floating in the Qi sea quietly awakened, strands of demonic energy rapidly emerging.
Unlike before, when it was uncontrollable and scattered, this time with experience, under Shen Yi's guidance, they flowed along the palm into the Ceremonial Blade.
A wicked air began to emerge on the pitch-black blade!
Splurt!
The old monk looked down in stun, at the long knife that had pierced through him, his blood uncontrollably sucked into the blade's edge.
His robust body quickly withered, his smooth skin wrinkling down at a visible rate.
He quickly tried to push away, but with the sudden appearance of the red light on the Ceremonial Knife, the brutal fierce energy rampaged inside him, his organs instantly shattered into mush and then devoured together to the last.
"..." The numerous Colonels and officials originally thought the two were evenly matched, but then Officer Shen seemed to have had his fun. Drawing his sidearm, he took down the old monk with a single strike.
"..." Compared to others, Jiang Chengyun saw the events more clearly, but his feelings were not much different.
First, he slightly sealed the abbot's veins with the General's ultimate skill, Intercepting Veins and Capturing Dragons, indicating Shen Yi wasn't very confident in his own lightness skills. This was to prevent the enemy from fleeing.
The last knife strike, seemingly ordinary, was in fact a perilous move that consumed a great deal of energy.
Even for someone like him, a martial artist who had condensed a pill, it would require quite a bit of effort to handle.
The Jade Liquid Realm of today... truly becomes more and more inscrutable.
"Huh."
Shen Yi withdrew the blade, casually returning it to its sheath.
He straightened his collar, glanced at what was left of the abbot—a mere empty skin—and raised his eyebrow slightly.
You are invincible below the Condensation Elixir Realm.
But what am I.
