Chapter 924: Solar Chakram

Monk Zhi Shan showed no hint of mercy as his robes fluttered yet again as he leaped towards Chu Li’s side and slammed his palm into Chu Li.

Chu Li noticed that there was a pitch-black image of the moon chakram on Zhi Shan’s hand, and it was as if the chakram itself had been shrunken and seared into his palm. At times, a faint glow could be seen emanating from it.

Chu Li unleashed an energy blade.

“Woosh!” The energy blade let out a thundering shriek and its speed was unparalleled.

Chu Li had unleashed the blade using the palm energy he had converted from Monk Zhi Shan. It was the perfect harmony between ferocity and tenderness, giving it an astounding amount of force and causing it to unleash an odd howl.

A silvery-white chakram intercepted the blade.

“Ding…” A clear chime resonated.

Everyone’s heart had calmed down. Once again, their killing intent had diminished. There were even those who wanted to just drop their weapons and leave.

Chu Li pulled back, and with his body suspended in mid-air, he fired another energy blade.

“Ding…” The chime could be heard again.

Everyone’s reaction was slightly delayed.

After intercepting the flying blade, the silvery-white chakram returned to Zhi Shan’s sleeves. Following that, Monk Zhi Shan took out the two lunar chakrams once more. He then threw the two howling chakrams towards Bai Feng and Zhu Wenhan.

Once again, Chu Li threw a flying blade to strike away Bai Feng’s lunar chakram while he left the other one untouched.

Seeing the howling chakram coming towards him, Zhu Wenhan could not help but had a feeling that the lunar chakram was death itself. The anger within his heart was burning ever more fervently, and all he desired was to pummel Chu Li to death.

‘Had he assisted earlier, Junior Brother Jing would not have died! Damn, there’s no way I can block this thing!’

Zhu Wenhan raised his voice and asked, “Brother Mo, please don’t tell me you’re going to ignore me as well?”

Mo Qianjun shook his head and chuckled bitterly as he launched his Divine Fist of Great Light. As the person with the highest cultivation level, the strength behind his Divine Fist of Great Light was astounding.

Monk Zhi San went ahead to collect the Lunar Chakram in front of Bai Feng. Following that, he charged ahead to intercept the Divine Fist of Great Light.

“Boom!” An explosion could be heard upon intercepting the fist. After dealing with the fist, Zhi Shan disappeared. A moment later, he reappeared in front of Chu Li and launched his palm at him.

Despite looking slow, the palm was unbelievably fast. It had covered all blind spots, making it difficult to dodge.

In Zhi Shan’s opinion, the one that gave him the most trouble among the masses was Chu Li as his flying blades could interrupt his lunar chakrams. Furthermore, Chu Li’s cultivation level was the weakest, so it was a no-brainer to target him first.

Chu Li exasperatedly intercepted the palm with a fist of his own.

“Boom!” Once again, Chu Li was sent hurtling away. Blood streaked through the air yet again before Chu Li went crashing out of the window.

Chu Li turned around in an attempt to escape, but suddenly, a figure materialized before him. It was Monk Zhi Shan and he was once again thrusting his palm towards Chu Li.

Chu Li sent an energy blade towards the center of Zhi Shan’s palm.

“Ding…” The chakram that was pursuing Zhu Wenhan suddenly returned to its owner’s palm, protecting it from harm.

Chu Li then utilized the opportunity to slip away.

However, Zhi Shan did not give chase. Instead, he and his red robes fluttered to the backyard and then he stopped right in front of Lu Zhen and Li Ruolan. Two lunar chakrams were sent howling towards the two girls at a speed akin to lightning.

Chu Li almost broke out in a string of expletives as he was forced to return to Li Ruolan’s side.

Li Ruolan shouted, “Why don’t you take this chance to flee?!”

“If I do, both of you will die!” Chu Li answered in an exasperated tone.

Lu Zhen dropped down and rolled under the couch, but the lunar chakram effortlessly split the couch in half.

On the other hand, Lu Ruolan sidestepped and avoided the chakram by a hair’s breadth.

“Ding! Ding!” The two chakrams soared upwards momentarily before it dropped down again.

“Bam!” Monk Zhi Shan leaped forward and thrust his right palm at Lu Zhen.

Lu Zhen forcefully raised her right palm to deflect the blow, but she was sent crashing into the sidewall instead. With a spurt, Lu Zhen spat out a fog of blood, and the color rapidly drained from her face.

As she had previously used a secret skill, her vitality had taken a great hit. Coupled with the injuries that she already had, it could be said that her body had been weakened even further.

Monk Zhi Shan’s palm energy constantly mutated within Lu Zhen’s body, emanating shockwaves after shockwaves which harmed her grievously. A mere moment later, she had been crushed from inside out as her major organs were harmed and it prevented her from moving any further.

“Senior Sister Lu!” Li Ruolan angrily spat, “You’re an extremely vicious monk, you know that?!”

Zhi Shan did not respond. Instead, he leaped towards Chu Li and brought his palm to Chu Li.

Chu Li scorned, “You’re purposely targeting the women!”

“This beggarly monk is aiding these people to release themselves from their mortal coil, his contributions deserve limitless merit!” Monk Zhi Shan calmly explained as the two crossed palms yet again.

Chu Li began chanting the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture which formed a path that allowed Zhi Shan’s palm energy to course through his body unobstructed. Chu Li had completely accepted Zhi Shan’s palm energy, converting it to his own and allowing it to seep out from underneath his feet. This had caused the green tiles to shatter into pieces.

Monk Zhi Shan furrowed his brows. He could tell that something was different.

Being in a desperate situation, Chu Li felt as if all his senses had been heightened. Not only was his mind thinking faster, but his understanding of the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture had improved by several folds. His brief stint of using them had given him great insights about it, as he was now clear on all the wonders of the scripture.

His body was now like a smooth cog that had no delays or obstructions.

“You truly are a genius, Almsgiver Zhao!” In a low tone, Monk Zhi Shan continued, “All the more reason for you to die!”

Chu Li laughed mockingly, “Well, that will no longer happen!”

A silver chakram appeared from Monk Zhi Shan’s left sleeve, and a white ball of light began congregating on it. Shortly after, the white ball of light was sent hurtling towards Chu Li’s chest.

“Bam!” As if he had been tackled by a galloping horse, Chu Li flew into the air and spat out more blood.

The white light had unique properties, as it was both condensed yet delicate. After taking the light head-on, there was still a thread of energy that had been left unconverted and as such, it wreaked havoc in his body. Had Chu Li not possess a strong body, he would have already lost all ability to retaliate.

“What is that?” After crashing into a wall, Chu Li painfully asked.

“A solar chakram.” Monk Zhi Shan shook his head and explained, “It was purposely made to counter the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture!”

Chu Li scoffed, “The Reincarnation Temple truly is despicable!”

Not only do disciples from the Reincarnation Temple possess the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scriptures, but they had also brought weapons to counter the scripture. This was an uncommon train of thought, but one that carried great wisdom.

“Instead of allowing others to research ways to counter our martial arts, we researched it ourselves first!” Monk Zhi Shan continued, “The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture is about a constant cycle of countering and being countered between yin and yang. So, you can see where I’m going with this!”

“Then why did you attack the women¹?” Chu Li chided.

As he wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth, he caught a glimpse at Li Ruolan.

Li Ruolan was currently supporting Lu Zhen. She gave Lu Zhen a spirit pill, and with it, Lu Zhen managed to survive.

If Lu Zhen had nine lives, she would have lost nine of them from that strike alone. She was now in a precarious position. Should she receive another blow again, she would be gone for good.

Monk Zhi Shan glanced at Lu Zhen and shook his head. “Why did you waste that spirit pill for? All of you will be heading to the west today anyway!”

Chu Li interjected, “Then why are you attacking women, Monk Zhi Shan? It’s such a malicious act! Can you still call yourself a votarist after this?”

“Namo Amitabha…” Monk Zhi Shan chanted his prayer before he sighed. “Who else is allowed to go to hell besides me? By cultivating the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, I could help them free themselves. After all, the world is a painful place, so isn’t it better to enter the Ultimate Land of Bliss in the west instead? With my aid in chanting the prayers, I’m sure they’ll reach the Ultimate Land of Bliss. No worries on that end!”

Chu Li mocked, “So, what happens if that isn’t the case? Wouldn’t that just make you an evil scumbag?”

“Namo Amitabha…” Monk Zhi Shan shook his head. “Save your words, Almsgiver Zhao. The beggarly monk’s heart will not waver. You shall not escape my sights today, Almsgiver Zhao!”

“Do you really think I wouldn’t be able to escape?”

Monk Zhi Shan shook his head. “The beggarly monk shall not allow you to flee!”

A white ray shot out from Zhi Shan’s sleeves and towards Lu Zhen.

Li Ruolan hurriedly ran forward to protect Lu Zhen as she extended her little fists forward.

“Boom!” Li Ruolan smashed through the wall and ended up on the spot where Lu Zhen had landed earlier.

She spat out a mist of blood, and her complexion turned pale.

Monk Zhi Shan prepared another Solar Chakram and fired another white ray at Li Ruolan.

Chu Li leaped ahead to protect Li Ruolan. While he did so, he also fired another blast of blade energy at Monk Zhi Shan. “Boom!” Chu Li crashed beside Li Ruolan and he was stuck to the wall as well.
