The saber light did not seem real. It was like a dream, a dream that came from the deepest and most painful memories at the bottom of one's heart.
Abandoned at a young age, living in poverty in the temple, often looking for pilgrims, his heart felt like it was being bitten by ants. Master Leopard seemed to have returned to the time when he was learning Zen, and he could not shake it off for a long time.
The long saber came leisurely, as if it wanted to break the peace.
How could everyone have the same Zen heart? Master Leopard was in a daze. The saber was about to hit him.
At this moment, there was a sudden change. With their breaths as one, he struck with his palm, maintaining his dazed expression!
He was like a puppet. Connected by the minds of the other four monks, he struck with his palms. The palm force was vigorous, and his hands seemed to have expanded. One on the left and the other on the right, he slapped at the saber.
Is this possible? With the four monks chasing after him, Mengqi had no choice but to change his move. He bent his long saber and slapped at the two palms. Borrowing the force, he flew up like a bird breaking free from a fence, spreading its wings and flying high. He escaped the pincer attack of the two palms and leaped over Master Leopard's head.
The four monks changed their pace and bypassed Master Leopard, once again surrounding Mengqi in a loose manner.
After exchanging several blows, both sides seemed to have returned to the beginning. Mengqi did not escape the siege, and the Dragon, Elephant, Tiger, Leopard, and Peng did not reduce the scope of the blockade, causing Mengqi to lose the space to dodge and move.
One of them was affected by Ananda's Oath-breaking Blade, and the other four could still control his body. This joint secret method was too strange. It felt like they were a whole … Mengqi did not stop moving. He changed his direction in a strange way, and thoughts flashed in his mind. Martial arts knowledge from the Solitary Heaven Blade, Eight Nine Primordial Beginning, and other skills flashed in his mind as he tried to find the key.
He had been practicing the first volume of Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture for quite some time now. The Immortal Pressing Art and Heaven Blade Dugu seemed to have touched a door. Behind the door was a brand new and vast world.
The fight this time was different from the encirclement of Green Cultivator and Flame-scorching Devilman. Meng Qi was able to grasp the changes in people's hearts. He used a desperate stance and the Ananda Oath-breaking Bladesmanship to force one of them to retreat temporarily, creating a time difference. The five monks — Dragon, Elephant, Tiger, Leopard, and Giant Bird — seemed to be a freak that could attack with its hands, feet, and head at the same time. If Meng Qi couldn't find the location of its "Vital Spirit" and only affected its body, it would not hinder the "Vital Spirit" from controlling the affected parts like a puppet. The coordination between the five monks was perfect, so it would be difficult to create an opportunity!
What was the key?
Scenes of the fight flashed through Mengqi's mind: the intertwining of auras, the inexplicable unity of vital Qi, the bursting of Zen, the pervasive tranquility …
The Exterior was the ability of one's Inner World to draw upon the force of nature and directly manifest it to interfere with reality. It was a certain Dharma and Logos and posture of heaven and earth … If it was the Half-step Exterior Scenery or the Oneness of Heaven and Men, the ability to draw upon the force of heaven and earth was very little. It was mainly to draw upon the Dharma and Logos of heaven and earth to condense one's momentum, just like how he imitated the Skythrowing Palm.
Momentum … Momentum …
Mengqi had once wanted to evolve the Nine Strategies Beyond the Swords into a move that could break momentum, but he had no clue due to his weak cultivation in swordsmanship. It was not until he learned the Heaven Blade that he comprehended the theory of swordsmanship by analogy and cultivated the Heavenly Flying Immortal. He possessed the Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture and raised the level of the Nine Strategies Beyond the Swords. Only then did he slowly find a direction and thought. Although he had yet to make a breakthrough, he could vaguely sense the existence of "momentum".
Could it be that they had joined forces with the help of the mysterious "momentum"?
When one became one with heaven and earth, there must be a specific exchange and flow. The inside was the path, and the outside was the momentum. This kind of exchange and flow had rules and methods. Naturally, there would be a flaw!
Although Mengqi had reached the realm of imperceptibility and could project his will, the surrounding tranquility and solemnity seriously interfered with his senses. He could only vaguely feel the "momentum" and had no grasp of the details, so it was difficult for him to find a flaw.
Meng Qi swung his blade again and used his Body Movements to evade the encirclement of the five monks by a hair's breadth. His state of mind was as still as water. He had already made up his mind that he had to suppress this tranquility in order to sense the details.
Only the "momentum" could interfere and suppress the "momentum"!
His footsteps were continuous and his figure was constantly changing. Suddenly, he raised his hand and the saber fell, as if he was whipping or chopping.
The saber kept trembling as if it was rubbing against the airflow at a high speed. Every tremble was like a heavy thunder. It contained the emptiness of heaven, the weight of thunder, the speed of lightning, the slowness of thousands of changes, and the ferocity of Heaven's punishment!
Mengqi did not directly use the Dharmakaya movement "Five Thunder Bombardment of Sky" that he had comprehended only a little bit. Any Dharmakaya movement would attract speculation and covetous eyes. The people of the Sect of Mistress Su were not kind people if their origins were exposed.
However, if he did not contain the Gist of Trueness and only used the movement changes of "Five Thunder Bombardment of Sky" and the five essences to activate "Heaven Inflicted Pain", then no one would be able to see through it. After all, "Nine Annihilation at Heavenly Nights" had been lost since the Middle Ages. No one knew its specific details, so it was safer than "Violent Thunder Shocking the Sky"!
The silver-white lightning shone brightly and gushed out as the long saber chopped down like Heaven's punishment. The force of the saber intertwined and turned into a knotted thunder dragon, fiercely pouncing on the five monks.
"Kaboom!"
The sky seemed to darken a little. The muffled sound of thunder echoed for a long time, destroying the peace.
The oppressive feeling was oppressive. It was as if the gods were watching and Heaven's punishment was coming!
The ground was scorched black, caused by the dissipating lightning. Deep knife marks appeared in the soil between Mengqi and the five monks, spreading rapidly towards them.
In the face of "Heaven's punishment", the five monks did not hesitate. Each of them struck out with their palms at the same time. The color of their palms turned dark gold and looked like colored glaze. There seemed to be a Buddhist chant in the air!
"Kaboom!"
Thunder and lightning exploded. The Heaven's punishment finally arrived. It was mighty and destroyed everything.
The power of the Heaven's punishment was terrifying. The tranquil Zen was greatly weakened, but it continued to grow and spread, contending with it.
Under the circumstances of severe interference, the fluctuating distance and the deeply hidden "momentum" were exposed in Mengqi's heart. It was just like a painting in a dream.
The illusory chanting of the Buddha continued. Specks of light flew out from the temple on the mountain and floated out from the bodies of the five monks. They condensed into an invisible Buddha statue in midair. The statue had a kind and compassionate look on its face.
The sounds of prayers, praises, chanting of sutras, and the chanting of Buddha entered the ears. The meaning of tranquility, detachment, enlightenment, and self-sacrifice were unexpectedly clear. The Buddha sat in the middle, and the five monks were like his arms and fingers!
"So that's how it is. It's a method of joining forces with the help of the power of incense!"
Mengqi suddenly understood. The five monks condensed the invisible Buddha with their own power of vow and incense. Their souls ascended to the "Pure Land" and coexisted with the Buddha. They used it as their "Vital Spirit" and connected it as one. They exchanged genuine Qi as if they were inside their bodies. That was why they seemed to be one and invulnerable!
"Amitabha" and ascended to the Pure Land! "
The lightning dispersed and the light disappeared. The five monks joined forces to resist the Knife Qi of "Heaven Inflicted Pain" launched by Mengqi. They dispelled the dull feeling and did not seem to be at a disadvantage. The tranquility spread and the Buddha momentum was once again hidden!
Mengqi did not feel the slightest bit depressed. He laughed heartily and wielded his long knife again. This time, he did not kill any of the five monks. Instead, he leaped into the sky!
There was nothing in the direction of the long knife. However, the smile on the divine monk Hua Yan's face froze. The expressions of the five monks changed for the first time. They attacked Mengqi's body with their palms, fists, fingers, and claws.
The knife light was faintly discernible as if it came from the bottom of one's heart. The bitterness of birth, aging, sickness, and death, separation of love and resentment!
After receiving the knife's "Oath-breaking Intent", he was reincarnated into the sea of bitterness!
"No regrets in this life?" "How can there be no regrets in life?"
"If you want to enlighten the world, then I will use this opportunity to sneak into Buddhism. I will wear your kasaya, distort your Buddhist scriptures, ruin your reputation, break your commandments, lure the monks into depravity, and destroy the Infinite Dharma!"
The illusory Buddha's face was merciful. Looking at the demonic knife light, tears suddenly fell from the corner of his eyes and the light dissipated.
Things created by one's heart were naturally most afraid of being affected by one's heart!
The airflow was tumbling and the tranquility was no longer there. The feeling of the five monks of Dragon, Elephant, Tiger, Leopard, and Bird suddenly fluctuated, sometimes good and sometimes bad. It was difficult for the genuine Qi to flow freely like it did in the body. The palms, fingers, fists, and claws that were attacking Mengqi slowed down.
Seizing the opportunity, Mengqi turned in mid-air and avoided the attack. His long knife slashed eight times in the air and chopped toward Master Dragon with a fierce and overbearing momentum.
Master Dragon's face was solemn. He clawed with his five fingers again and the force sizzled. Half of it was pulling and the other half was dispelling it. He faced the overbearing knife and waited for help.
As long as they could overcome the current difficulty, they could join forces again.
The finger force hit "Heaven Inflicted Pain" and suddenly felt that it was powerless. It was as empty as the sky, absorbing the genuine Qi.
Mengqi's face was pale gold. He forcefully borrowed the force and quickly retreated, escaping from the joint attack of the three monks. He turned around and slashed at Master Elephant with his knife.
His genuine Qi had climbed to the peak of this knife, and he also borrowed the strength of Master Dragon. It was as heavy as a mountain, the airflow collapsed and thunder erupted. There seemed to be a whirlpool in front of the knife, causing Master Elephant to involuntarily take a step forward.
Master Elephant could not avoid it and could only meet it with his palm. His hand was like colored glass, strong and pure.
Bang!
His palm avoided the sharp edge and collided with the knife. Master Elephant only felt that the knife momentum was heavy and hard to resist. The person opposite him was like a dragon or an elephant!
Puff! He spat out a mouthful of blood and was directly sent flying. Without the cooperation, how could his strength compare to Mengqi's Eight Nine Mysteries and half of Master Dragon's strength? Crack!
Master Elephant crashed into a withered tree. The tree broke and he fell, unable to climb up for a while.
Mengqi again borrowed the force to change direction and avoid the attack. His long knife was as fast as lightning and went straight for Master Leopard.
This knife was purely based on speed. Master Leopard could not avoid it and could only use his palms to clamp the knife.
His "Heaven Inflicted Pain" was clamped. Master Leopard felt that there was no strength in his knife. It was purely fast!
His gaze froze and saw Mengqi stretch out his left hand and snap five fingers. The Formless Finger Wind hit his body and sealed his acupoints.
"The Green Hell Step of the Seven Ultimate Hands …" He slowly fell, understanding in his heart.
Mengqi now understood everything. With the Eight Nine Mysteries as the foundation, it was a piece of cake for him to imitate the enlightened Apertures moves with the help of the Eight Nine Mysteries.
In a short moment, two people fell. Dragon, Tiger and Roc had no way to deal with them. They kept attacking Mengqi from different angles, but they were always a little bit off.
At this moment, Mengqi's voice was like thunder in spring.
"Open!"
His voice rolled like thunder. Without the cooperation of the three monks, Dragon, Tiger and Roc, they were momentarily stunned.
Master Dragon did not have time to react before he was sent flying by Mengqi's knife. If he had not deliberately turned into the back of the knife, he would have been reborn in Nirvana!
Mengqi's momentum grew as the fight went on. He shouted again,
"Lose!"
With eight slashes in the air, the long knife was firm and fierce. It slashed toward Tiger and Roc with the momentum of heaven and earth shrinking. He wanted to fight against the two of them alone!
The two monks attacked with four palms. Their strength was overwhelming, fighting force with force.
Bang!
The two monks only felt that the knife was as heavy as a mountain. It crushed their strength and made their arms tremble. They could not help but take a few steps back.
Mengqi's momentum rose to its peak. The two monks' souls were taken away, so they could not exert their strength. Even when they joined forces, they were still defeated by him!
As the two monks retreated, Mengqi adjusted his Qi-circulation. Relying on the Immortal Pressing Art to recover his Qi, he caught up with them and slashed them to the ground with two consecutive slashes.
"How many moves?" Mengqi sheathed his knife and asked Jiang Zhiwei with a smile.
Jiang Zhiwei smiled and said, "Seventeen moves."
Mengqi turned to look at Zhao Qian and the others. He laughed and said, "Your Highness, you won't be defeated after twenty moves? Seventeen moves is enough! "
