Chapter 31 Creating Supernatural Powers at Will
On the long street, the boy suddenly spoke in a clear and loud voice.
"Old dog Zhang!"
The smile on Zhang Chengming's face instantly froze.
The boy continued, enunciating each word clearly, and proclaimed loudly:
"Let go of my monkey brother!"
"otherwise,"
The gleaming spear tip extended half an inch forward, the boy's gaze as cold as frost.
"Not only from tonight onwards, I swear to kill you!"
He shouted sternly, warning—
"In the future, none of those connected to you will be able to escape this fate!"
"Even the dogs you once kept on Longhu Mountain, I will slaughter them all!!!"
His shouts were like thunderclaps rising from the ground in the night.
Before he could finish speaking, a murderous intent surged forth.
Although the boy was thin, his demeanor and will were as sharp as lightning, striking the sky like thunder.
It was as if a fierce and ruthless god of war was appearing and disappearing in the void.
This is because practitioners possess the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit.
This shout is no ordinary word, but contains a whole body of true intentions and thoughts!
The long street seemed to be stunned as well, and a deathly silence immediately settled over it.
Thousands of ordinary people stared in disbelief, their mouths agape, yet they could not utter a sound.
If it were an ordinary person, it would be better, as they wouldn't feel it as deeply.
Then look at those who have truly achieved some success in their spiritual practice—
With a snap, the prayer beads between Abbot Jingchen's fingers broke, scattering all over the ground!
He was completely oblivious, staring intently at the boy, his eyes filled with disbelief!
Such a bloodthirsty nature!
Master Jingyuan also gasped and subconsciously took a half step back.
She stared blankly at the boy's suddenly bright eyes, as if she were seeing a Vajra in Buddhism.
How could such a gentle and refined young man utter such murderous words?
What exactly is the relationship between that monkey demon and the Dragon Tiger Immortal? Perhaps he unintentionally touched a raw nerve!
Both Buddhist monks were deeply moved by the boy's intense will.
Previously, I had discerned Zen wisdom in his words and thought he was a promising Buddhist talent with profound understanding and compassion.
But would they really be willing to risk a blood feud with Longhu Mountain for a mere demon monkey?!
That's a powerful figure in the Three Realms, backed by important officials of the Heavenly Court. Even the Buddhist sect is unwilling to openly make an enemy of him!
Is this young man foolish and ignorant, or is his resolve in the Dao so strong that he is unafraid of death?
Yet one can clearly sense that beneath the overwhelming killing intent lies a youth with a flawless and unwavering mind!
Both men had complex expressions and were filled with emotion, while secretly gathering their spirits.
Since that's the case, it seems things won't end well tonight!
Just as Jingchen and Jingyuan rallied and prepared to unleash the wrath of Buddhism,
In the nearby shadows, the Rakshasa woman's wrist twitched, and the short sword nearly slipped from her grasp.
Gazing at the figure standing there with a gun, her heart skipped a beat, and she was overcome with a deep, pounding emotion.
In that instant, she understood more clearly than anyone else there the true nature of the boy's will.
The reason I was there for the past few days was that this strange and unique young temple keeper was exceptionally clean.
It's almost unquestionable that they'll do what they say they will do.
Therefore, at this moment, the Rakshasa woman couldn't help but suddenly look at Zhang Chengming.
A strange pity welled up in her eyes and heart:
This old dog is really in deep trouble this time!
He couldn't understand how someone as determined as the young man could be so easily moved to emotion or anger!
Once someone says "bloodbath at Longhu Mountain" like they just did, it's no longer a joke; it's a lifelong vow that they will fulfill with their life!
Just as Buddhists make grand vows, how can this be taken lightly?!
Then look at the monkey that's frozen in place.
A sudden surge of intense envy and bitterness welled up in the Rakshasa woman's heart:
Having cultivated himself for hundreds of years, he had witnessed countless acts of deceit and betrayal.
But is there anyone who would be so willing to do anything for her, even if it's just a promise?
Then, she couldn't help but notice that the monkey was still trembling under the suppression of the talisman's power.
At that moment, the monkey's eyes turned bloodshot, and two streams of hot tears quietly welled up and rolled down its furry cheeks.
It understood.
My brother never refused it.
Even now, Brother Ren has completely abandoned his future path to immortality and is willing to fight to the death with the behemoth behind this evil Taoist, just to ensure its survival tonight.
After the monkey understood, it gritted its teeth even more, making a grinding sound between them.
Even if it feels like carrying a mountain of immense weight, even if you're clenching your teeth until they bleed,
Its hunched back was also struggling to straighten up little by little!
Not only the monkeys and people on the street at this moment, but also those in the sky and in the nearby city.
The Golden Horned Boy and the Green Ox, hidden in the shadows, were also slightly shaken.
Although in each other's eyes, the boy is still a mortal, not an immortal.
However, many mortals possess extraordinary ambitions, even more intense and luminous than those of immortals.
I never expected to see someone so exceptionally bright tonight.
It should be noted that Longhu Mountain is a powerful force in the Southern Continent, and it is no less formidable in the Eastern Continent.
This is because the four Celestial Masters and key figures of the Thunder Department behind them are mostly from the Celestial Master's Mansion.
A boy and a blue ox couldn't help but stare at the real person dressed in a purple robe.
If nothing unexpected happens, and if Master Zhang cultivates diligently, he will one day be a minor celestial official in Heaven who will have the opportunity to meet them. But now...
Zhang Chengming's expression on the long street changed repeatedly.
From stiffness to ashen, to flushed red, it finally transformed into a pitch-black, sinister aura.
He stared at Zhong Xuan, the last trace of admiration in his eyes completely vanishing.
Instead, there was a chilling killing intent.
His inner will was far calmer than his outward appearance; he was merely coldly calculating.
The more the young Taoist priest fought desperately for this wicked beast, the more it proved that the monkey demon was its Achilles' heel!
All they had to do was pretend to crush the monkey demon, and they could force the young Taoist priest to rush up and die.
Alternatively, one could simply kill him with a single talisman, which would surely shatter his Dao heart and render him utterly harmless.
As for his boastful claim that he will kill himself tonight?
Why can't he transcend this? Doesn't he know that behind him lies Mount Longhu?
Ha! A rootless, wandering cultivator dares to spout such arrogant words?
He could easily summon a celestial soldier, which would be enough to utterly destroy this madman and demon!
No wonder he's on friendly terms with demons; he's nothing but a wicked creature in human skin!
Zhang Chengming's mind was filled with cold, ruthless calculations, but a deeper and more persistent anger began to rise within him.
Then we must kill this beast tonight! Kill them both!
Seizing that precious bell would be enough to explain to the ancestral court!
Zhang Chengnian thoroughly solidified his deep killing intent, and slowly pressed his five fingers onto the top of the monkey's head.
At that moment, a sense of anticipation even arose in his heart.
Come on, charge!
I was just looking for a reason to shoot this arrogant little beast on the spot.
I'll let you attack first!
"Okay, okay, okay."
Zhang Chengming suddenly stared intently at the boy, then suddenly smiled—a cruel and cold smile.
"very good!
"Then I will do it in front of you."
"Watch me crush this beast to death!"
As he spoke, he pinched a bright yellow talisman between two fingers of his left hand and slapped it onto his right arm. The talisman instantly ignited into a golden-red spiritual flame upon touching his skin, transforming into streaks of red light that pierced through his flesh.
"This is a powerful talisman I could draw when I was seven years old!"
Zhang Chengming smiled, while continuously exerting force with his right hand.
The right arm, now adorned with the talisman, suddenly swelled up like a pillar, the coarse blue robe stretched taut and about to tear, the veins bulging like black jade dragons, and a layer of solidified golden light swirling around its surface!
The right hand holding the monkey's head suddenly tightened, and the knuckles began to crack.
The immense power of the Great Strength Talisman pressed down from the palm.
The monkey's skull seemed to emit a faint cracking sound, yet it could still withstand the strain.
Compared to Yuantong's magic, the monkey is a true immortal being born from a stone with a head of bronze and bones of iron.
"You little monkey demon, you've got a pretty good foundation."
Zhang Chengming felt the texture of the fabric and actually smiled, glancing down at it.
Then she looked up and smiled at the young man a dozen steps away.
In that instant, even Jingchen and Yuantong, among others, had their eyes filled with anger.
Even Abbess Jingyuan and the two nuns beside her showed reluctance.
How could you torment someone like this? It's truly excessive!
They couldn't help but look at the young man who had just uttered those bold words.
Naturally, the boy did not respond verbally.
Only actions.
Because in an instant, all he left behind was an afterimage.
Even the bluestone slabs on the ground cracked open with a fine, spiderweb-like pattern.
With a flick of the spear, a chilling glint appeared first!
All eyes turned to Zhang Chengming, and to his head.
That shot was too fast.
It was so fast that even the air was torn apart with a sharp hissing sound, leaving a pale blue trail of air.
Ding!
Suddenly, the golden armor that appeared on Zhang Chengming's body moved even faster.
Or perhaps, this set of golden armor formed from magic already existed.
It was only because the bright tip of the red-tasseled spear pierced through that it took shape.
With a crisp sound, the gleaming iron spear tip, capable of piercing through ordinary iron armor, was blocked.
Zhang Chengming was about to speak when his gaze suddenly froze.
Because it didn't stop!
The boy beside him suddenly circled around, his spear contracting and extending in rapid succession, like a snake's tongue!
The continuous thrusting attacks continued.
Meanwhile, the others didn't stop to watch either.
"Let's do it!"
With a roar, Abbot Jingchen gripped the broken string of prayer beads tightly in his large hand and shouted, "Yuantong! Constable! Charge!"
Upon hearing this, all sides immediately surrounded the area and brandished their weapons.
The neighbors reacted instantly, panicked and scattered in all directions.
A woman quickly picked up the girl and turned to run away, while a strong man pushed aside roadside stalls and disappeared into the alley.
Some of the smaller stalls, located further away, were hidden by passersby under nearby storefronts and shop stands.
They still peeked out from the doorway or the stall, turning half their bodies to the side.
They even dared to watch this rare spectacle of immortals battling it out with such audacity and greed!
They only saw the boy circling around and stabbing repeatedly, but all their efforts were in vain.
"Was it useful?"
Zhang Chengming remained motionless, like a mountain formed from a golden-armored deity. His right hand still firmly gripped the monkey's head, squeezing it tighter and tighter, almost lifting the monkey up.
"What kind of rubbish are these, Jin Guang Temple and Shui Yue Nunnery?"
Zhang Chengming spoke casually and jokingly, his eyes darting left and right, following the boy beside him who was constantly moving.
He knew that this was achieved by moving continuously and striking with a consistent force.
So he applied more force with his palm, freezing the entire body in place. The demon, who was trembling violently, could only struggle to break through little by little. The veins on his head, which was slightly deformed from being squeezed, bulged, and blood overflowed from his eyes, staining his golden pupils red. He groaned in pain in a low voice.
Zhang Chengming wanted to know if the boy's expression had changed.
Will you feel pain and regret?
As he thought this, he tightened his grip on the situation with increasing cruelty.
"Is it useful? No matter how hard you try, you can't break through the golden armor talisman I just casually cast. And this is something I only learned when I was thirteen. Just like I really can't understand why my fellow disciples find it difficult. You can only watch this demon monkey get crushed to death—"
Zhang Chengming continued to utter mocking and cruel words, attempting to provoke the boy.
Suddenly, his eye twitched.
For a fleeting moment, my mind wavered as I suddenly saw the boy slow down.
What is this?
Zhang Chengming's pupils dilated slightly as he realized something was wrong!
It's footsteps!
The boy's movements slowed down, but he gradually exuded an ethereal and grand aura.
The boy's eyes remained gentle and calm as a mirror, unwavering in the slightest; only his steps remained steady.
With the left foot on the Tian Shu point of the Big Dipper, the right foot instantly moves to the next constellation.
The steps they were taking were the Big Dipper Seven Star Steps, accumulated from thousands of years of Taoist star observation!
Ding!
The ding sound, which only appeared at the beginning, suddenly rang out at the third position.
Then came the continuous clanging of the four stars.
Zhang Chengming's eyes twitched repeatedly, causing his eyebrows to tremble and his lips to become slightly unsteady.
What the hell is this?!
Why!
A strange thought suddenly welled up in his mind that he couldn't fully understand.
Why did the spear's power suddenly increase?
At this moment, the surface of the golden armor, which was originally more sturdy than ordinary iron armor, was moving!
Each thrust of the spear tip now carries several times the force of a normal deflection.
It could even be seven or eight times!
Each strike seemed to exceed the power that a mortal body could unleash.
At the same time, this gun... no!
"Blessed by magic?"
Zhang Chengming's tone had lost its composure, and he suddenly asked a hurried question.
"right."
The young man, caught in the gap of the Seven Star Steps in the second round, calmly responded with a single word.
Zhang Chengming's face darkened completely.
Simply imbuing a mortal weapon with magical power is probably not for increasing its power, but rather to withstand the damage that increasingly terrifying forces would inflict on the weapon's own material.
He almost wanted to ask but was afraid to hear the real answer, but in the end he still opened his mouth with difficulty.
"Where did you learn that footwork?"
What suddenly came to Zhang Chengming's mind was that when he was twenty-seven years old, he thought he was the most outstanding talisman genius of his time. He asked his grandmaster to grant him a complete set of the Three Mountains Talismans, but he was told that he had not accumulated enough. He begged and pleaded, but all he got in return was a young junior who looked similar to him. He was a nephew of the Zhang family, but he was a direct descendant of his grandmaster.
Then, he lost.
The other party was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a cold and calm expression throughout. He used only pure Taoist magic and observation to forcefully break through his hundreds of talismans one by one, crushing all his pride and self-esteem in the ancestral hall that night. From then on, he completely gave up his thoughts and gradually became fanatical about strengthening the power of the Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain. He went down the mountain even more frantically to kill demons and monsters and make a name for himself.
Until now.
Zhang Chengming's lips trembled slightly as he recalled the question in his mind.
He suddenly felt hatred! He shouldn't have asked that! Could time be turned back to take back the question he just asked?
Suddenly, a deep-seated fear and timidity within him was reawakened.
However, it was too late.
"I....."
"I just thought of it."
Zhong Xuan had already spoken.
Zhang Chengming's pupils suddenly contracted and then dilated, and his jaw clenched tightly in an instant.
He had a thousand words to say, but they suddenly condensed into extreme hatred, and he tightened his grip.
With a scream of pain, the monkey cried out.
But in an instant, Zhong Xuan finished another round of the Seven Stars technique with his spear.
The power of the seven stars suddenly exploded.
With a loud bang!
The golden armor exploded at the chest.
Then, almost as if the blazing sun were burning away the remaining snow, the last golden armor plates instantly collapsed and shattered.
