Martial Saint!

The light flickers on the waves, as the mighty river rolls on, and an extraordinary water phenomenon emerges around the Spiritual Weapon Canglang Song. The Power of Four Mountains converges into one, suddenly stabbing forward, penetrating the Grandmaster's True Gang Robe. The gunpoint flashes with cold light, aiming at the left shoulder of the Golden Light Grandmaster.

"Indeed, this is also a Spiritual Weapon!"

The eyes of the Golden Light Grandmaster reveal greed; with a powerful Buddha palm, he shakes off the gunpoint and attempts to seize the spear!

Lu Chenzhou jerks his wrist, tilting the long spear, and the gunpoint sprays spear light, already slashing towards the right neck of the Golden Light Grandmaster.

Before the Golden Light Grandmaster, a golden Zen staff appears at some unknown time, blocking crosswise with a clang.

The sound of metal against metal buzzes and roars.

The shadows of the spear and staff intertwine, and in the blink of an eye, the two have clashed for dozens of moves. The Golden Light Grandmaster's Zen staff slams down fiercely, straight towards Lu Chenzhou's crest. Lu Chenzhou raises his spear to block, dodging to the right side, standing firmly in the void.

"No wonder you're known as Lu Tianjiao. I thought you were just relying on your trump cards to confront quasi-Heavenly King ranks. After witnessing your spear skill today, I'm truly impressed. To create a spear skill nearly at the level of Supreme Divine Skill on your own is quite remarkable."

The Golden Light Grandmaster suddenly laughs.

"You've betrayed Buddhism and are cultivating the Tathagata Divine Palm. Don't you feel any remorse toward the predecessors of the Buddhist path?" As Lu Chenzhou questions, his right hand suddenly thrusts the long spear, sharply stabbing towards the face of the Golden Light Grandmaster. The left hand of the Golden Light Grandmaster swings up his Zen staff, with a snap, knocking the long spear aside.

"Lu, my young friend, you have indeed some skill. It seems you've been hiding your strength before. But if you wish to kill me, it's quite challenging; there's no need to waste your efforts. As for your allegation of my betrayal to the predecessors? It's pure nonsense. My cultivation to this day is all through my own hard work, what does it have to do with others? The Grand Barrier breaking is already a set fact, and some of the Divine already have half their strength restored. It won't be long before the Demon Venerable, even the Demon Saint, will arrive in the world. How can the human world resist? These facts, the Northern Guardian King probably didn't mention to you, did they? They will rather tell you everything is fine, there's great power behind and the Divine Court has contingencies, humanity is not without the power to fight. Alas, it's all self-deceptive illusions."

The Golden Light Grandmaster, seeing that he could not win quickly, tries to break Lu Chenzhou's mental defenses from within, also completing his task.

"Saying so much, still just a coward."

Lu Chenzhou comments thus.

The Grandmaster doesn't get angry. The Zen staff roars, surprisingly transforming into a golden dragon, lunging towards Lu Chenzhou.

Clang!

Lu Chenzhou swings his spear, splitting the golden dragon, his furious strike even cracks the Zen staff in two!

"You brat, you ruined my Divine Weapon!"

From the Grandmaster comes an angry voice, as the golden Zen staff trembles and suddenly explodes, spraying golden light and debris across the sky, the shockwave sends Lu Chenzhou flying.

"Just wait, and see who makes it to the end."

Using the Divine Weapon's self-destruction, the Golden Light Grandmaster's figure is about to retreat, when suddenly a mighty Sword Qi splits the Heavenly Heart, enveloping the force of heaven and earth, descending abruptly.

The sword light cleaves the world in two, Yun Meng Lake is split open with a trench over ten miles long, the lake water parted, unable to merge back for a long time under the residual pressure of the Sword Qi.

The Golden Light Grandmaster looks at his severed right arm, coldly gazing towards the red-dressed figure emerging from the clouds. Read ahead and get updates at M*V*L*E*M*P*Y*R.

The Plum Fairy sighs: "I didn't expect someone like you, with such prominent features, to betray humanity as well."

"Plum Fairy, why would you return?"

The Golden Light Grandmaster's expression turns serious; if it were only Lu Chenzhou, no matter how strong, he couldn't stop a Heavenly King level powerhouse.

But with the addition of the Plum Fairy, the situation doesn't look good for him. Strong members of the council might already be on the way.

"You need not know, prepare to die!"

The Plum Fairy's figure vanishes, suddenly appearing before the Golden Light Grandmaster. Although she is a woman, her sword moves are bold and large, with the momentum to cleave Hua Mountain, a Dharma Form of a Goddess General wearing golden armor and wielding a giant sword manifests behind her.

Heavenly Chopping Nine Swords: Jade Sky Clearing!

The ferocity of this strike causes even Lu Chenzhou to glance sideways, thinking that this is the power of the Supreme Divine Skill.

The "Heavenly Chopping Nine Swords" in terms of slaughter, is second only to the "Radiant Sky-Swapping Seven-Day Saber," and to cultivate this sword requires unbeatable courage and a killing intent that recognizes none but oneself!

Kill!

Kill!

Kill!

Waves of killing intent ripple out, the field surrounding the Goddess General's Dharma Form, interwoven with killing intent and Sword Qi, covering an expanse of several miles, suppressing everything.

Boom!

Caught off guard, the Golden Light Grandmaster is blasted into the ground, his Protective True Gang shatters, flesh and bone crack apart.

"You... you actually understood the [Law Realm], you, you were hiding your strength too, you had long discovered me?" At this moment, the Golden Light Grandmaster's defenses are somewhat broken. The Plum Fairy before him is entirely different from just now.

Boom!

Lu Chenzhou charges forth with his spear, the gunpoint descends, toppling four giant mountains, mercilessly beating a drowning enemy. The Golden Light Grandmaster's body surfaces an Upper Class Divine Armor, but under the giant mountains, it deforms and twists in an instant, becoming a pile of scrap iron.

The Grandmaster had only one Supreme Divine Weapon, which was the recent [Golden Dragon Zen Staff], but since it was cut by the Spiritual Weapon, he decided to self-destruct it to save himself, leaving him without a Divine Weapon.

He turned back, first to confirm whether Lu Chenzhou was dead, and second to search for the Heart Piercing Needle treasure that ambushed Lu Chenzhou, which was certainly of the Spiritual Weapon level.

If he could control it, his strength could be significantly boosted. Assassinating Martial Arts Genius in the future would be as easy as pie!

Unfortunately, he didn't expect that Lu Chenzhou also had a Spiritual Weapon of high quality. The confrontation didn't last long before his Supreme Divine Weapon was cut, and without the Divine Weapon, relying solely on fists and palms was at too much of a disadvantage; he was not like those Western fighters.

Buzz, buzz!

Sword light and spear shadows interlaced, and the moment Plum Blossom Fairy Law Realm was revealed, the combat situation reversed instantly.

No matter how strong the Tathagata Divine Palm was, Master Golden Light was just a beginner, and in terms of power, it wasn't much stronger than Lu Chenzhou's Spear Skill. Therefore, despite his exceptional insight, Lu Chenzhou did not intend to learn the Supreme Divine Skill. Instead, he would rather develop his Spear Skill to the supreme level!

Observing the fierce battle between the two Heavenly Kings, Lu Chenzhou pondered internally. Even at the initial entry into Heavenly King, Plum Blossom Fairy had quickly comprehended the Law Realm, not inferior to Master Wang. Yet, this bald monk hadn't; there was indeed a significant gap among Heavenly Kings.

He had long since comprehended the Law Realm Prototype of Dusk of the Gods. Upon entering Heavenly King, he could automatically grasp the Law Realm.

To be honest, this bald monk had hidden very well; both Lu Chenzhou and Plum Blossom Fairy did not notice initially. He began to suspect when he was ambushed severely by the Heart Piercing Needle and near death, sensing the bald monk's faint murderous intent!

Yes, murderous intent!

He had no grievance or vendetta with Master Golden Light, and had good relations with many predecessors of Shaolin Temple. This murderous intent seemed abrupt and senseless. After contemplating, this person either was envious after seeing him possessing a Spiritual Weapon or had already betrayed civilization, intending to kill him from the start.

Besides, regarding the secret operation to encircle the Heart Piercing Needle, except for the Northern Guardian King and several Daoist Level experts, only their trio knew. But judging from the scene, the enemy must have received information in advance, thus hiding his physical body on-site as bait while his soul inhabited the puppet, launching the ambush with the embroidery needle.

The bald monk was highly likely an inner mole of the enemy.

Though Heavenly Kings have strong wills, in a large group of hundreds, there will always be some who are corrupt.

This is quite normal.

Therefore, after hiding in the shadow, he sent a message to Plum Blossom Fairy, who held the Lighting Order and could be trusted absolutely, asking her to cooperate in acting as if he was truly dead.

Of course, Plum Blossom Fairy's acting was a bit exaggerated... However, resurrection is indeed unbelievable to a Great Grandmaster, and Master Golden Light was fooled and left.

Initially, Lu Chenzhou and Plum Blossom Fairy intended for the Northern Guardian King to dispatch veteran Heavenly Kings to capture the person since it would be challenging for a Great Grandmaster like him and a beginner Heavenly King like Plum Blossom Fairy to besiege the opponent. It would be better to pretend to have not noticed and act when the person returned to Shaolin Temple.

Unexpectedly, the bald monk was cautious too.

Midway, he actually returned.

There was no choice; he also messaged Plum Blossom Fairy.

They had to join forces temporarily for a tentative try.

Luckily, Plum Blossom Fairy had indeed hidden her strength. Seeing her display the Law Realm, Lu Chenzhou sighed in relief.

After the Kun Character Technique erupted, his Qi-Blood doubled, not weaker than the Initial Realm of Heavenly King, combined with the Power of Four Mountains, the weight of Spear Formation, shaking Master Golden Light's muscles and bones apart.

Seeing himself cornered, Master Golden Light swiftly made a decision, concentrating all his Protective True Gang at the back, while facing the Heavenly Slaying Sword Formation's cut, burning up Essence and Spirit, ultimately sublimating as he charged at Lu Chenzhou, eyes brimming with murderous intent.

"Burning Lamp Buddha Fire!"

Scorching, gold-like flame streams erupted, using flesh as oil, bones as wood, True Gang as fire; amidst the dry wood and fierce flames, his body grew against the wind into a hundred-meter-tall eerie Buddha draped with countless hand-weaved vestment robes of blood and flesh, smiling eerily reciting the Nameless Ancient Scripture.

"Mother Forget Sorrow, Nirvana!"

Behind the eerie Buddha, an ethereal fairy wrapped in light gauze, daintily alluring, smiling with peach-red cheeks unexpectedly appeared, casting off the gauze, clamping her legs around the eerie Buddha's waist, and embracing the eerie Buddha's neck, her Ruyu peaks tightly connected with the eerie Buddha's back, like a parasite.

The sword formations descended upon them, as if falling into the ocean, and the eerie Buddha strode forward, with the fairy behind him curling her lips, extending a finger, slightly hooking towards Lu Chenzhou, immediately a mysterious pulling force emerged, draining his internal Essence dry, his aura deflating, the tower-like body shrinking to 1.8 meters, resembling dry wood, devoid of Qi Power.

At the critical moment, a flash of insight came, and he, inexplicably guided, stabbed out with the final two spears, Life and Death Blur and Time Ages, intertwining life, death, withering, flourishing, time law, converging in one strike, seemingly slow, yet inevitably hitting the fairy's fingertip.

In an instant, time froze.

Thump, thump, thump!

This was his heartbeat.

"Gun of Time, Candle Dragon's work, lucky boy, you've won a round again, see you next time."

This was the fairy speaking.

Feminine, gentle, motherly; if the witch's aura resembles a benevolent father, she resembles a benevolent mother... Just hearing such a voice seems to return to a mother's embrace, forgetting all troubles, at least on the surface.

She was Mother Forget Sorrow, source of all ghosts.

Time accelerated.

The fairy and the eerie blood Buddha seemed isolated on a time-space island, within one breath, a day passed.

This strike on a normal Heavenly King would merely shorten a day. However, to the already fully exhausted eerie Buddha, it swiftly reached its end, reducing to ashes.

The fairy's phantom slowly dissipated, throughout, she never looked at Plum Blossom Fairy but fixed her gaze on Lu Chenzhou.
