Chapter 500: 382

Just like several monks, the disciples of the Goddess Palace led by Yu Qingyan were also looking at the two figures in the void with shock and awe, feeling they are unmatched in power.

They felt that with their strength, they probably couldn’t even withstand a single punch.

Yu Qingyan’s expression was solemn, and a hint of defeat flickered in the depths of her eyes, the mere strength of their flesh making her feel powerless, and this was just a part of the two people’s strength in the void.

They must have other methods.

After all, Chen Yuan’s nickname was known as Demon Sword.

At the same time, she understood. The disregard they showed earlier was not fake, her strength truly did not catch their eyes.

The Hidden Dragon Four Extremes, truly lived up to their reputation!

After a brief engagement, neither of the two figures in the void showed any sign of defeat, which spoke volumes about their strength.

“What a technique!”

Xuanming’s expression finally changed from indifference to solemnity.

“The master’s technique is extraordinary as well.”

This was the first opponent who could match Chen Yuan in physical strength, and after their exchange, his blood roiled, but he also felt exceptionally exhilarated.

This kind of physical collision was the ultimate showdown for martial artists.

The only thing that wasn’t great was that both of them practiced the Vajra Glaze Body cultivation technique, which was hard to counter, especially since the other party’s cultivation in this technique was slightly stronger than his.

In the midst of their exchange, he could feel that the opponent’s body was clearly more robust.

While his own blood and Qi were slightly stronger.

Their short skirmish also attracted the attention of many onlookers, who were discussing who the two figures in the void were, and someone exclaimed:

“I recognize that person, he is the legendary Demon Sword Chen Yuan.”

“What, it’s actually him?”

“Isn’t he from Qingzhou, why did he come to our Yun State?”

“Truly terrifying, to erupt such techniques with a mere clash of flesh, indeed worthy of being one of the Hidden Dragon Four Extremes, the existence that has slain a Grandmaster.”

Someone couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

Obviously, Chen Yuan was slightly more famous, of course, this was related to the fact that he has been causing major incidents frequently recently, making a deep impression on people.

“Who is that monk? He can actually compete with Chen Yuan without falling behind, we don’t seem to have such a young monk in Yun State, right?”

“Yeah, yeah.”

“Who that monk is doesn’t matter, everyone look, Fairy Yu Qingyan of the Goddess Palace is also watching, truly a beauty that can overthrow cities and nations, make fish sink and birds fall.”

“Alas, I will always be the man she cannot have.”

“Pfft!”

The show-off martial artist was stabbed to death by a burly man next to him who scolded his corpse:

“You have the audacity to insult Fairy Yu.”

“I know who that monk is.”

Suddenly, one of the onlookers said in a solemn voice.

“Who is it?”

“Who?”

“Don’t keep us in suspense.”

“Fellows, put some thought into it, who else could it be looking so young and yet matching Chen Yuan, if not one of those few from the Hidden Dragon List?”

“You mean… Lingshan Xuanming?”

“Yes, other than him, who else? Besides him, in the Buddhist community, who else is qualified to be Chen Yuan’s opponent?”

“That makes sense when you put it that way.”

“Just never thought that people from Spirit Mountain would also come to our Yun State, could it be for the East Sea?”

“Speaking of which, fellow Daoists, why not go fight for that Grandmaster’s legacy?”

“I did think about it, but my strength is insufficient, going there would only be courting death, and the legacy would not be my turn anyway, it’s better to watch the battle here,

and consider it not a wasted trip.”

The crowd below buzzed with discussion, and the momentum between Chen Yuan and Xuanming also began to rise gradually, as they no longer continued to engage with pure physical techniques, having already tested that out.

In terms of physical power, Xuanming was slightly ahead of Chen Yuan, but he couldn’t beat him.

Likewise, Chen Yuan couldn’t overcome Xuanming.

To determine a winner, they needed to resort to other methods.

Chen Yuan reached out with one hand, and the Emperor Slaughter Saber floating in the void fell into his grasp. He held the scabbard in one hand and the handle in the other, slowly drawing it out, a massive ferocious aura began to erupt.

It was as if a butcher was awakening.

Xuanming furrowed his brows, fixating his gaze on the Emperor Slaughter Saber, and spoke solemnly:

“The weapon of utmost Yin, utmost evil, and utmost ferociousness, Master Chen should not keep it for long, or it will gradually erode your spirit and wisdom, turning you into a demon who only knows slaughter.”

Chen Yuan looked indifferently at him:

“So what, do you want Chen to hand over the sword willingly?”

“Put down the butcher’s knife and become a Buddha on the spot.”

Chen Yuan laughed, looking at Xuanming:

“I’ve heard this phrase so much my ears are about to grow calluses, but I have a question, can the master provide an answer?”

“Please speak, benefactor.”

“The Buddha says to put down the butcher’s knife and instantly become a Buddha, but does this easily absolve a wicked person of their sins?”

“Buddha speaks of a next life, where the sins of this life will be borne in the next.”

“If even Buddha can die, why strive to become a Buddha?”

“The Buddha’s teaching is boundless, transmigration of souls, eternal and undying.”

“Do you believe that yourself?” Chen Yuan gazed at him intently.

“Good deeds in a previous life, make this life a Buddha.”

“According to you then, since the wicked persons of this life were good people in their past lives, were the good people of this life wicked in the past, washing away their sins in this existence?”

“Buddha says, yes.”

“Buddha also says all beings are equal, and the purest of them is an infant; therefore, by that logic, since they have already reincarnated as an innocent baby, why should they bear the sins of their past life?”

Xuanming fell silent, his gaze lowered. After a long while, he spoke:

“Benefactor Chen, my comprehension of Buddhist teachings is insufficient. Since you have so many questions, why not accompany me to Spirit Mountain, where there are high monks who can discuss these matters with the benefactor.”
