A Top Scholar in Everything

Chapter 1262: Chapter 1248: The Mountain Fellowship

The Red Sun Blade Qi spread out like fire waves, colliding with the water waves transformed by Chen Guoliang, making a piercing sound.

A large mist of white smoke rose.

It’s as if two genuine forces of water and fire collided.

After his attack failed, Chen Guoliang reformed into a human shape in midair, his sinister gaze fixed on the front: "Still that annoying aura, but I’m no longer my old self!"

"Good, I was afraid you wouldn’t be enough for my warm-up."

Zhou Yi clenched the Horse-cutting Blade with both hands, Blood Qi burst forth, creating a tornado around him, directly shaking off the fallen debris as he charged forward.

Chen Guoliang was also unwilling to retreat.

As the two engaged in battle, Jile Tian’s brows furrowed, ready to lift her hand to aid Zhou Yi.

But at that moment.

The masked man blocked her.

"Miss, I don’t like violence, but if you intervene, I cannot stand by and let an unfair event occur.

So.

Let’s all stand here and quietly await the outcome, shall we?

That way.

It’s good for both you and me."

Jile Tian hesitated for a moment and then sneered: "Are you so confident in your companion?"

"Naturally, I must believe in him."

The masked man responded leisurely.

"Humph, it seems you have no idea who you’re facing. Well, such a trivial ant, if I act, the Saint Envoy might view it as my doubting his prowess."

Jile Tian withdrew her hand, closely watching the masked man, vigilant for any strange movements.

But.

The masked man instead looked upwards, seemingly using the collapsed hole to observe the situation at the tower’s top.

By now, Zhou Yi and Chen Guoliang’s battle had reached a fever pitch.

To Zhou Yi’s disbelief.

His full power erupted, True Qi already reaching seven to eight layers, yet he and Chen Guoliang were tied, even slightly downwind.

This was utterly impossible a few months ago.

Chen Guoliang’s strength has advanced too rapidly, this bastard must be eliminated, or he’ll become a major threat!

Zhou Yi’s heart now harbored murderous intent.

Of course.

He was always inclined to kill the opponent before.

"Drowning Ghost Waters!"

Chen Guoliang sneered coldly.

Though loath to admit it, seeing the water flows surrounding him, Zhou Yi thought of a rather cliché term — sinister and charming!

He never knew.

Someone could smile so awkwardly and unattractively.

It must be that part of his face had turned into water flow, continually shifting.

After utilizing his sinister charm in a move.

The surrounding water suddenly became turbulent.

Zhou Yi only felt enveloped in extremely cold icy water, his limbs freezing, Qi and blood unable to circulate, unable to move at all.

At this moment.

Within his body, the Purple Mist True Qi surged like tides.

Veins pulsed endlessly.

The mutated Purple Mist True Qi, imbued with the fiercely yang aura of Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, instantly dispelled the cold within his body.

Zhou Yi pulled his Horse-cutting Blade upwards.

Then, dozens of slashes swiftly burst forth, cleaving towards the water waves as if slicing through space.

A hissing of water vapor emerged once more.

Chen Guoliang’s face looked somewhat unpleasant, yet he controlled the water flow, pouncing ferociously forward.

Just then.

Zhou Yi’s two fingers merged, Qi and blood surged, within special meridians, True Qi transformed from small Wuxiang Gong circulated fervently, rushing without end.

"Break Evil!"

A finger broke through evil.

Qi and blood condensed into immensely destructive Power of Breaking Evil, thrusting forward, like a high-tech destructive cannon, shooting a dazzling ray.

Hiss hiss.

Where the beam passed, water instantly vaporized, Chen Guoliang’s eyes widened in disbelief at this scene, yet his protective shield shattered, his heart evaporated by the beam.

Though his body could transform into water flow.

With too much evaporation of the water flow, the speed of damage surpasses recovery speed, he would still be severely wounded or die.

Clearly.

The power of Break Evil absolutely met the standard.

The water flow Chen Guoliang turned into collapsed instantly, scattering into raindrops falling with crackling sounds on the ground.

Zhou Yi didn’t let down his guard.

After Chen Guoliang was dispersed, another scorching Great Heat finger force directly evaporated the water spread on the ground.

Awful wails like resentful spirits echoed from the water.

Clearly belonging to Chen Guoliang.

Even the masked man was startled, looking at Zhou Yi with odd glances of shock, doubt, incomprehension, and excitement.

Seemingly unsure.

How Zhou Yi defeated Chen Guoliang.

Then.

A faint crimson gas drifted from the water, merging into the Martial Arts Cultivation Device at Zhou Yi’s heart, this process visible only to him.

The masked man waved a hand, picking up a gelatinous item exploded from Chen Guoliang’s body, then leaped, charging towards the Buddha Tower’s top floor.

By now, Zhou Yi surely couldn’t let him get away.

To mix with Chen Guoliang, this masked man definitely wasn’t good.

But.

As Zhou Yi reached the tower’s top.

He found only a two-person-tall Buddha statue, in its right hand holding a black, slightly uneven oval object with strong Spirituality.

While in its left hand.

Lied an ancient yellow bamboo slip.

The masked man seemingly knowing Zhou Yi was formidable, directly rushed to the Buddha statue’s right hand, took the oval object, then jumped out the window.

Zhou Yi furrowed his brows.

"Relic, Demon Buddha Relics! Didn’t expect there would truly be Demon Buddha Relics here!"

Jile Tian, seeing the masked man take the black oval stone, panicked instantly, rushing to intercept him.

Zhou Yi had also heard.

After a great monk’s sitting death, Relics could be burned from their bodies. But according to scientific research, those monk’s burned Relics were actually gallstones...

Yet this is a world of mystical powers.

That Relic just now.

Possessed intensely strong Spirituality, clearly not a mere stone.

Zhou Yi considered pursuing with Jile Tian, but as he glanced, he noticed the bamboo slip in the Buddha statue’s left hand.

With its inherent yellow, further golden from time oxidation.

He stepped forth in two bounds.

Took the bamboo slip in hand.

Unrolled it.

Inscribed in mystical language using special red ink, a title: "Celestial Demon Golden Body Transformation"

Seemingly a manual!

Moreover written in mystical language.

From Zhou Yi’s knowledge learned from teachers at the Anti-Insurgency Bureau, books written in mystical language hold extremely high value for research.

He didn’t hesitate.

Put the bamboo slip in his pocket.

Then planned to turn and chase after, capture the thief of his Relic.

But then.

The black Buddha statue suddenly cracked.

This time it cracked of its own accord, without external force.

Zhou Yi stepped back two paces.

The Buddha statue burst into tiny stone particles with a bang, while on the platform where the statue sat, a normal human-sized Buddha was sitting cross-legged, slowly opening crimson eyes!
