Chapter 1002

The silhouette of the golden pagoda covered Xi's body, surrounded by black and white clouds and accompanied by the purple light of fortune. The water of the Holy Virtue and the invisible Virtue of the Nether World rippled. Xi was like a deity that came from the imagination, shrinking the earth and rushing to punish the people. His right fist turned the virtue into Taichi, breaking the void and turning all matter into nothingness.

He did not choose to talk, nor did he want to listen to Mengqi. He only wanted to kill Xi to cover up this matter. The surrounding mist was destroyed, the Five Elements blurred, and the Four Symbols were in chaos. The Force of Heaven and Earth that could be borrowed disappeared. Most of the Exterior masters would be greatly suppressed in such a situation. They would not be able to exert more than half of their strength.

Meng Qi was not afraid of Xi, the grandmaster's greatest advantage. Even if the Heavenly Golden Scripture was a peerless skill that described the beginning of heaven and earth, the Eight Nine Mysteries alone would be able to adapt to this kind of suppression. The all-weather and all-terrain combat machine lived up to its name!

Through changes and adjustments, the suppression of a master's Dharma and Logos within a certain range was one of the greatest features of the Exterior chapter of the Eight Nine Mysteries. In Mengqi's own words, "the domain advantage of others is useless against me!"

However, Mengqi did not have much of a chance of winning. He even felt that his life might be in danger. Xi was a grandmaster and cultivated the top skills related to the Five Virtues and Five Virtues.

With the blessing of the Holy Virtue, no magic could touch him. With the protection of the Meritorious Virtue, no evil could invade his body. The word 'Morality' was the source of all magic. With the protection of good fortune, one would not fall into any deadly tribulations.

Just one of the virtues was a great protective skill. Now that Xi had cultivated the Five Virtues, his defense could be considered outstanding among the grandmasters. Based on the Heavenly Golden Scripture's Fist of Five Virtues and Five Virtues, Mengqi estimated that Xi's defense was about the same level as when he crossed the second Celestial Ladder and became a grandmaster. In other words, the Five Virtues and the Eight Nine Mysteries were roughly equal. Xi's realm was a whole level higher than Mengqi's, so his defense was definitely abnormal!

Even with the Law Phenomenon, it would not be easy for Meng Qi to break through Xi's defense. Not to mention, the Law Phenomenon could not be maintained for long!

Most importantly, the Holy Virtue and Blessings could protect the Vital Spirit and prevent "external evils", rendering other arts ineffective.

His defense was already so terrifying, but Xi's attack was not far behind. The Five Tais were the five stages that heaven and earth went through from nothingness to existence, from formlessness to substance, and from the separation of Yin and Yang. Xi could turn everything into chaos with just a punch and a kick. For ordinary Peerless Master Pros, they would definitely die if they were to be brushed by his attacks. No matter how strong Meng Qi's Eight Nine Mysteries was after his Law Phenomenon, he dared not block too many of Xi's attacks. That was why he only wanted to restrain Xi and let Gu Xiaosang use the main materials of a Heavenly Weapon to defeat him.

Now, he was alone. Even if he had the main material for the divine weapon, what was the use if he couldn't hit it?

In the blink of an eye, Meng Qi's mind raced. Information about the Five Tais and Five Virtues flashed across his mind as he tried to think of a countermeasure. Should he fight to the death and create an opportunity to use the Ancient Space-breaching Talisman to escape? Or should he use the Karma Fruit?

Time waited for no man. Xi's fist grew larger and larger, shattering the mist and causing the void to cave in. It was already upon Meng Qi.

His four eyes looked down at Xi. The Heaven Inflicted Pain in his right hand paused as if it had been frozen. Then, the Azure Dragon broke through the shackles and turned into a dazzling blade light. The blade trembled slightly, and Yin and Yang were divided. It broke through the Five Virtues and the darkness, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of Xi.

His four eyes looked down at Xi. The Heaven Inflicted Pain in his right hand paused as if it had been frozen. Then, the Azure Dragon broke through the shackles and turned into a dazzling blade light. The blade trembled slightly, and Yin and Yang were divided. It broke through the Five Virtues and the darkness, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of Xi.

The masked Xi's eyes were emotionless. He tilted his body slightly and rushed toward the blade light, ignoring everything else.

"Clang!"

The shadow of the Exquisite Pagoda made of gold blocked the blade light. Xi took a big step forward, as if he was going to block the blade light.

In an instant, the Exquisite Pagoda was broken, and the black and white clouds were separated. However, Mengqi's blade light seemed to have no intention of hurting Xi. It moved away and only left a shallow wound on Xi's left arm. With the Holy Virtue on his body, no magic could touch him!

Relying on the defense of the Five Virtues, Xi forcefully endured the attack. He seized the opportunity and punched at Mengqi with his right fist again. It was as if Mengqi had no chance to dodge.

Fortunately, Mengqi had the Art of Distraction and two other arms. He raised the Mystic Turtle Sword and the sword light turned into layers of tortoiseshell. The layers of tortoiseshell met Xi's fist.

The tortoiseshell and sword light exploded one by one. If the Mystic Turtle Sword was not of the highest grade, it would not have been able to withstand the attack.

Using the force of the attack to dodge, Mengqi shook the void and said to Meng Qi through the Vital Spirit,

"I have no interest in the body and impartation of the Sun God. Why don't we stop fighting?"

He chose to show weakness.

Xi's eyes were cold. Without saying a word, he strode forward and struck at Meng Qi with his palm. Halfway through, his palm turned into a fist and he pointed a finger at Meng Qi. It was as if the void was about to shatter at this point, which was similar to the Normalizing Finger.

Mengqi stabbed with Flowing Fire. The sword light split into layers and weaved into a soft net, slowly wearing down the power of Xi's finger.

At the same time, Meng Qi struck from above with the Heaven Inflicted Pain. The blade light split into two, then into four, and then into eight. All of them were aimed at Xi's neck, accumulating power to break through his defense!

Meng Qi used his sword art to fuse with his blade!

Xi did not waver. The purple light turned into a pair of wings and he rose higher and higher. Like a chariot that would never retreat, he charged fiercely at Mengqi's face. The Five Virtues intertwined behind him and turned into a phoenix. The phoenix turned into the void as if to reverse the five virtues.

Clang! Clang!

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! The Exquisite Pagoda was created and destroyed. The water light of the Holy Virtue dimmed and brightened again. With the five virtues, the phoenix would not die!

Pfft!

Xi's Taixu Finger pierced through Mengqi's sword light and stabbed into his shoulder. There was a violent explosion, turning a piece of flesh into nothingness. There was only a wound on his neck from which blood slowly flowed.

Mengqi quickly retreated to neutralize the power of the Taixu Finger. His Vital Spirit trembled again and he hurriedly transmitted his voice,

"If you're afraid that I'll leak this matter, we can sign a contract!"

Again and again, he begged for mercy!

Xi seemed to have a heart of stone. He took a big step forward and spread his wings like a phoenix. His fists struck at Mengqi with the chaotic state of being able to destroy all things. He displayed his advantages in defense and attack to the fullest!

Mengqi's expression changed slightly. He struck out with Flowing Fire, Heaven Inflicted Pain, Mystic Turtle Sword, and Purple Thunderbolt Blade at the same time. The sword light split into two without any difference in strength. It was as if the Grand Sun was shining brightly. The power of the Interior and the Force of Heaven and Earth were condensed into one point, turning everything into nothingness.

The four of them suddenly collided with each other in the middle of their path. Extremely terrifying light exploded and turned the surroundings into a vast expanse of whiteness. The scorching heat vaporized everything and the wind and waves shattered everything.

Two blades and two swords created the Burial of the Stars!

It looked like he was using all his strength to temporarily block Xi so that he could escape with the Ancient Space-breaching Talisman.

Boom!

Amidst the terrifying explosion, a colorful glow suddenly broke through the whiteness. Purple was dazzling, black and white was moral, black and yellow was sacred, water was moist, and Yin Virtue was pale. Patterns of the Five Virtues rose from the phoenix's body!

Thump, thump, thump! There were only small wounds on Xi's body. He forcefully broke through the two layers of the Burial of the Stars. He tilted his body slightly and bumped into Mengqi's feet.

Bang!

Mengqi flew backward. He could no longer maintain the Law Phenomenon and his two heads and four arms. He retracted back to his original form and blood spurted out of his mouth. The pale golden glow dimmed. He had suffered serious injuries!

Xi adjusted himself slightly and attacked again!

Just then, Mengqi's expression suddenly turned solemn. His Vital Spirit shook the void and his voice rang out.

"You've repeatedly begged for mercy and backed down. Yet, you've pursued me relentlessly. Where's your Holy Virtue?"

"Although you've made a small mistake and wanted to make up for it, your killing intent is too deep. Where's your merit?"

His voice was like thunder. It drilled into Xi's ears. His body trembled slightly, and the Exquisite Pagoda and the Holy Virtue Aqua Wave shook violently.

Mengqi looked solemn and fearless. Suddenly, the Heaven Inflicted Pain in his hand slashed out lightly like a Buddhist Commandment Blade. Not on this shore, not on the other shore, not in the middle of the stream. Only I am supreme in the world!

In the face of this blade, Xi's Exquisite Pagoda and the Holy Virtue Aqua Wave disappeared without a trace!

Once the killing intent arose, the merit would disappear. Without benevolence, the Holy Virtue would no longer exist. From the beginning until now, Mengqi had never thought of escaping or begging for mercy. He was using his bladesmanship and sword art to tell Xi a story about how the killing intent could turn victory into defeat!

Xi had a close relationship with the Sun God. Whether it was through inheritance or reincarnation, they would definitely be entangled. His weakness was in his heart and Vital Spirit. The Holy Virtue and Merit had the ability to prevent the invasion of external evils. Without weakening them, Mengqi could not use the Unique and Righteous Spirit to interrogate his heart. He could only use the Karma Fruit. The five virtues themselves had the ability to suppress karma. It was hard to predict who would win or lose in the end.

Originally, it was not wrong for a person who cultivated the Path of Merit to have a killing intent. Killing evil and demons was in itself a merit. Hunting down demons and demons was also a Holy Virtue, which benefited the common people. Mengqi could not affect either of them in a simple battle. Thus, he kept backing down and begging for mercy twice. This caused Xi, who was determined to kill him, to fall into a dilemma. His Merit and Holy Virtue wavered.

Although this did not cause the art to dissipate, it was already weakened. Mengqi finally seized the opportunity to use the Buddha's Palm to interrogate his heart!

Who am I? Who am I?

Xi fell into confusion and was momentarily sluggish.

Mengqi had already put away the Flowing Fire. In his hand was the Frost-eye Crystal. It was blue and translucent, emitting cold air. He smiled at Xi and slowly uttered two words.

"Bye-bye."
