Lu Sheng's chest tightened on the spot, and a hint of blood gushed out from his throat.
"That's strong!" He did not have time to think. The old monk smashed his staff three times at lightning speed.
"Bam bam bam!"
All three strikes landed on the same spot on Lu Sheng. He was forced to retreat, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
"Subdue demons and devils, battle the heavens and earth!" The old monk suddenly gripped the staff tightly with both hands. The staff made a strange turn, and with a loud howl, it smashed into Lu Sheng's chains.
"Boom!"
Lu Sheng felt an invisible force slam into his body, and he was sent flying backward like he was riding on a cloud. He crashed into a temple not far away.
The power of the staff was at least five times stronger than before! It was terrifying!
Lu Sheng was caught off guard and was injured.
Large amounts of dust and stone splattered everywhere. Amidst the hazy gray fog, Lu Sheng coughed violently a few times, then actually laughed out loud.
"Again! Deep Blue! "He charged out, and Deep Blue's interface popped up.
"Deduce and upgrade the Skylark Flower Plume Sword!"
Lu Sheng shot out from the dust like a black line, and charged toward the old monk.
"Die!"
No one knew when he had been holding two war hammers in his hands. The two hammers combined into one and fiercely smashed onto the demon-subduing pestle in front of the old monk.
"Boom!"
This time, it was the old monk's turn to be sent flying. He crashed into the hall far away, and knocked down a few golden Buddha statues.
Before long, the old monk climbed out of the rubble. His head was covered in blood, and his eyes were filled with hostility.
"Mere mortal! Divine Jade! " He roared, and his body expanded again. His skin and blood vessels were exposed, and his eyes were bloodshot and pulsating with black spots.
"Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage!" Raising the staff, the old monk swung it in a simple arc, and charged toward Lu Sheng at an incredible speed.
"Rumble!"
This time, Lu Sheng was sent flying again. His body rolled more than ten times on the ground, and blood splattered everywhere.
"You're courting death!" Lu Sheng was enraged this time. His upper body expanded rapidly, and his muscles twisted like steel cables.
"Deep Blue!"
"Instant Slaughter!!"
Lu Sheng's twin hammers were like pebbles blown up by an explosion. Lu Sheng swung them violently and with a sharp whistling sound in the air, they hit the old monk with lightning speed.
Buzz!!
A translucent ripple exploded from the old monk's body. He spat out a mouthful of blood and took several steps back.
As if that wasn't enough, Lu Sheng flew to the front of the hall and ruthlessly kicked the stone pillar that was more than a meter in diameter.
Boom!!
The stone pillar broke, and the broken part spun as it smashed towards the old monk.
"I'll let you have a taste of my Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!" Lu Sheng kicked more than ten times in a row. Bang, bang, bang, bang! All the stone pillars in the hall were broken.
Over a dozen huge stone pillars spun and smashed towards the old monk at high speed.
"Foolish mortals!!" The old monk showed his arrogance. The Exorcism Pestle was broken in a few moves. He simply smashed the stone pillars flying towards him with his bare hands.
"Godjade!!" He charged madly out of the rubble that filled the sky, and viciously struck a palm at Lu Sheng. His speed suddenly increased by many times.
"Flying Divine Statue!!"
Boom!!
Lu Sheng was caught off guard. His chest was hit, and his entire body was smashed into the ground, creating a large crater that was several meters wide.
"Again! Deep Blue!! " With a roar, Lu Sheng soared into the sky. His strength also increased by a few times, and he struck the old monk's head with all his might.
"Godjade!!" The old monk's strength increased again. He did not move from his spot, and punched at Lu Sheng.
"Deep Blue!!" Lu Sheng's muscles twisted and swelled as well, and he punched back.
"Godjade!"
"Deep Blue!"
"Godjade!"
"Deep Blue!"
"Godjade!"
"Deep Blue!"
"Foolish mortals!!"
"Foolish natives!!"
"Ah!! Kill!! "
"Die!!"
The old monk and Lu Sheng were truly enraged. Neither of them gave way to the other, and their strength had risen to a perverse level. Every punch and palm could destroy anything around them. Rocks, trees, ground, and buildings. Everything decayed like tofu under their hands.
Loud explosions reverberated on the mountain peak. The onlookers had long since fled far away, not daring to get close. Even Wang Houzhong was dumbfounded, watching the battle from a huge boulder far away.
They were the ones who ran fast. As for those who ran slower, they were already caught in the shockwaves of the battle between the two monsters. They were smashed into minced meat, and buried in piles of rubble.
Time passed slowly. After an unknown amount of time, the two monsters on the mountain peak finally had a winner.
The old monk seemed to have expended a large amount of his lifespan, and he looked much older than before. It was obvious that he could not maintain his previous peak state.
As for Lu Sheng, he was covered in wounds. Although his body was still strong, his veins and meridians were wriggling on his body like black snakes. He looked like he could explode at any time.
This was the result of him extrapolating and strengthening his body too many times in a short period of time.
If not for the suppression of the Earth Qi, he would have self-destructed in the previous battle. He would be the first person in history to explode because of the speed at which he became stronger.
Rumble!
Another loud sound. The old monk staggered a few steps back, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood on the ground.
"Old man, it's over …" Lu Sheng laughed coldly.
"I won't hand the God Jade over to you …" The old monk coughed violently. He stared at Lu Sheng, who was opposite him. Lu Sheng was already so strong. If he added the power of the God Jade, it was very likely that he would reach a height that he could not imagine.
The old monk gripped the God Jade in his heart.
"You have no choice." Lu Sheng had also guessed that the jade definitely hid a huge secret.
"Give it to me! I can guarantee that I won't touch the foundation of Shaolin Mountain! "Lu Sheng said coldly.
The old monk's palm trembled.
"I … I'm too old … I can't … I can't …!"
Swoosh.
He suddenly flung it backward. The God Jade instantly flew off the cliff.
Lu Sheng snorted coldly. He stomped his feet and flew off the cliff. He reached out to grab the God Jade in midair.
Before his hand even got close to it, he could already feel a huge, dense, and terrifying Mental Energy roiling within the God Jade.
This Mental Energy seemed different from the Mental Energy he had seen before. Its quality was clearly much denser.
What made Lu Sheng's heart skip a beat was that the total amount of Mental Energy in the divine jade was much more than any other storage item he had ever seen. He estimated that such a small piece was at least a few million units.
When they saw Lu Sheng leaping off the cliff, the people of the Wicked Path exclaimed in surprise. Wang Houzhong was about to stop him, but when he thought of Lu Sheng's strength, he slowed down. He did not believe that Lu Sheng would do something he was not confident in.
Just as Lu Sheng was about to grab the God Jade, the God Jade trembled slightly, and suddenly shot off into the distance.
Lu Sheng's expression changed. He had miscalculated the distance. He instantly fell under the influence of gravity, and crashed into the ground with a bang.
The God Jade fell from the distance, and accurately landed in the hands of two gray-robed men halfway up the mountain.
"Who's that?!" Lu Sheng was enraged. He was just about to obtain the mysterious item of this world after fighting for so long, and these two people suddenly appeared out of nowhere to stop him?
The two people halfway up the mountain chuckled. They turned around and sped down the mountain.
Lu Sheng estimated the distance. Moreover, these two people were extremely fast. They were not slower than him. He knew that he could not catch up to them. His expression became even more unsightly.
"Trying to run …!" He looked to his left and right. Then, with a twist of his arm, he broke a small tree. He grabbed some of the branches and leaves on the tree.
"Go."
His palm suddenly trembled.
"Tss tss tss tss!"
Suddenly, a large number of densely packed leaves shot out like darts.
He suddenly leaped up and rushed forward. He pushed hard on the leaves and branches in midair, and borrowed the force to shoot a large distance forward.
Then, Lu Sheng continued to throw out some branches and leaves, and borrowed the force to rush forward again. After doing this several times, he actually leaped down from the mountain top. Using the acceleration of gravity, he quickly approached the two gray-robed men who were descending the mountain.
"Bam!"
Lu Sheng crashed into the ground, creating a huge pit. He just happened to intercept the two gray-robed men who had already reached the foot of the mountain.
A few evil path experts who were leaning against the tree and chatting suddenly saw someone suddenly fall from the sky. They were instantly shocked and could not react for a moment.
Of the two gray-robed men, one was slender, and the other was muscular. Even their faces were covered by their gray robes.
Lu Sheng slowly stood up from the pit.
"Put down the God Jade and cripple your hands. I can spare your lives."
The two gray-robed men were obviously very afraid of Lu Sheng. Their stance and posture were as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Chen Ziluo, the leader of the Pagan Alliance?" The muscular gray-robed man suddenly asked.
"You know it's me, and yet you still dare to steal my things?" Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly. Clearly, there was something wrong with these two people.
"This is an original core. It must be specially processed. Otherwise, it will be a deadly poison to anyone!" The thinner gray-robed man said in a low voice.
"Original core?" Lu Sheng was stunned. This reminded him of the Children of Original Core in the Demonic Realm.
"This is a special ore that contains a mysterious power. It … can make people stay young forever." The muscular gray-robed man said in a low voice. "Similarly, it can make people forever addicted to it and fall into a demonic barrier. This is a cursed gem. If you take it, you will be harmed … "
Taking advantage of this time, Lu Sheng secretly nourished his body with Earth Qi, and eased the state of his body that was about to collapse.
"What about you? Who are you? "He continued to ask.
"We … You're very lucky. If you've heard of the Root of Nothingness, then you'll definitely know about the Children of Original Core. We are the Children of Original Core, "one of the gray-robed men answered honestly. "Looks like you're also a fellow Heavenly Fiend who has descended here. Perhaps we can still have a chance to work together."
"Children of Original Core …" Lu Sheng was stunned. He had indeed encountered such an existence, and that was when he was in the Zhao Family.
However, although that Children of Original Core was not strong, their status was clearly much higher than the two in front of him.
"So you're saying that you're not robbing me, but saving me?" Lu Sheng's expression became strange.
"You can say that. We originally planned to secretly take the original core so that you wouldn't misunderstand. We didn't expect you to catch up," the thinner gray-robed man said calmly.
However, what Lu Sheng did not know was that their backs were already soaked in cold sweat.
