Free Web NovelChapter 339: Battle [2]
On the spectator stands, everyone was discussing the battle between Hanba and Miaofa.
"I think Hanba will definitely win this one. Miaofa is still a bit lacking."
"Tch, I don’t believe it. I’ll support my little monk. Look how handsome he is, while the other one is wearing a bamboo hat and you can’t even see his face," a brain-dead spectator said.
Everyone else was speechless at his words.
"I think Miaofa is really in trouble. We’ve all seen that Hanba’s strength has reached the eighth level of the Primal Spirit Realm, just one step away from the Yuankun Realm. As for Miaofa, in his battle with Liu Jiang, we all know his combat power is roughly at the seventh level of the Primal Spirit Realm. So, if Miaofa doesn’t have any special combat skills in this match, he’s very likely to lose."
Someone analyzed it logically, and most people didn’t refute his words.
On the arena, Miaofa clasped his hands together and said to Hanba, who stood opposite him, "Benefactor, this humble monk greets you. Since the battle has begun, this humble monk will not hold back."
Hearing what Miaofa said, Hanba’s eyes under his bamboo hat looked over, and with that gaze came a powerful force, directly forcing Miaofa to retreat a step.
"Monk, come and fight! I’ll tell you straight, I’m here for the championship this time. You can’t beat me. You go first," Hanba said.
Hearing Hanba’s words, Miaofa said, "amitabha," then picked up his prayer beads and wrapped them around his wrist, shouting:
"Arhat Vajra Body, rise!" As his words fell, a golden energy fluctuation emanated from his body.
"Is this the Tianchan Temple’s Arhat Vajra Body? I heard that if you cultivate it to the extreme, you’re practically unkillable."
"Yes, you’re right. I heard that to cultivate this Arhat Vajra Body, one must have certain inherent conditions. Since Miaofa can cultivate it, it shows how strong his physical constitution is," the onlookers discussed.
On the arena, Hanba watched Miaofa activate his Arhat Vajra Body. He didn’t show any emotion, but a huge shark-tooth sword appeared in his hand once again.
"I wonder if your so-called Vajra Body can withstand the shark-tooth sword in my hand," Hanba said while stroking the patterns on the shark-tooth sword.
Hearing Hanba’s words, Miaofa didn’t say anything because he knew Hanba was very strong, and he had to go all out, otherwise he would be at a great disadvantage.
Miaofa clenched his single hand into a fist and fiercely launched an attack towards Hanba.
Miaofa’s figure instantly disappeared from his original spot, astonishing the onlookers in the stands. However, for Wang Yufan, Miaofa’s figure was clearly visible, and he knew that Hanba could also see it clearly.
Just after he finished thinking, on the arena, Miaofa’s shark-tooth sword directly slashed fiercely in one direction. The enormous air currents vibrated the space, causing cracks to appear.
"Not good." At this moment, Miaofa’s figure appeared in the direction Hanba had slashed. He directly blocked with both arms, but even so, Miaofa was forced back dozens of steps by Hanba’s attack before he finally stopped steadily.
"Such powerful strength." Such a voice kept echoing in Miaofa’s heart. Because Hanba’s previous attack left a deep imprint on his arms. Although it didn’t injure him, it greatly astonished him. Since he began cultivating the Arhat Vajra Body, he had rarely encountered peers who could damage his Arhat Vajra Body to such an extent.
While Miaofa was shocked, he also resolved to perform well in this battle.
"Arhat Overturning Heaven Seal." Miaofa formed hand seals, and a giant swastika symbol emerged, pressing directly towards Hanba’s figure.
The giant swastika symbol continuously rotated in the sky. The power it emitted didn’t feel threatening to the spectators, and the giant swastika symbol emitted a soft light. However, from Hanba’s perspective, this power was something he utterly detested.
Hanba flicked his wrist, and the shark-tooth sword in his hand was directly thrown into the sky. Everyone felt that this matter was not so simple. In the next moment, Hanba’s hand was etched with strange and complex runes, which flew towards the shark-tooth sword in the sky.
When the giant runes arrived, the shark-tooth sword slowly transformed into a huge black lotus, continuously spinning, emitting strange and mysterious power. Hanba watched the attack Miaofa launched and directly controlled the black lotus to collide with the swastika symbol.
With a "boom," a huge sound erupted in the sky. The giant swastika symbol that Miaofa cast lasted for less than a dozen breaths before it was permeated and eroded by Hanba’s black lotus, finally disintegrating.
And after Miaofa’s attack was broken, he was also affected. A mouthful of congested blood reached his throat, but he forcibly suppressed it.
Then, after glancing at Hanba, he took a deep breath and continued to cast his next move.
"amitabha’s compassion. Lay down the butcher’s knife and become a Buddha immediately." Miaofa directly sat cross-legged on the ground, chanting scriptures. As he chanted, golden light patterns materialized around him.
The people of Tianchan Temple were astonished when they saw this. "What kind of cultivation method is this, Junior Brother? Why have I never seen it before? Didn’t he already master the two ultimate martial arts of the sect? Did he comprehend this move himself?"
The people of Tianchan Temple were also completely bewildered.
On the arena, Hanba’s fierce eyes under his bamboo hat were filled with extreme disgust as he watched Miaofa perform this technique.
"Monk, to be honest, I extremely dislike your sorcery and power, so I will resolve you with one move next. Of course, you can also fight me like the woman named Wanru did before, but you will have to bear the consequences yourself." As Hanba spoke, the power in his body surged. His cultivation at the eighth level of the Primal Spirit Realm erupted. The shark-tooth sword, which had transformed into a black lotus, instantly changed back and was held in Hanba’s hand.
"amitabha, Benefactor Hanba, I also have this intention. I will also use my strongest move to resolve you next. I haven’t used this move for a long time because its power is truly not something a humble monk like me can control." After Miaofa finished speaking, the golden light patterns around him slowly began to materialize and spread outwards. This power had no offensive capability; it was merely changing the environment of the area.
