Chapter 589 Giving up
Chapter 589 Giving up
The hammer falls to decide the winner!
Sound waves echoed in the arena, but there was an eerie silence. Almost everyone's eyes were fixed on Li Yuan, who was turning around in the smoke and dust with a hammer in his hand.
Li Yuan put all his strength into this hammer strike, and the momentum was so strong that even the grandmaster would change color. The outcome was self-evident.
"Is this the end?"
On the viewing stand, the expressions of the great masters of the five major Taoist sects changed, some were shocked, some were happy, and some felt sorry that they couldn't see these two people of the same level fight.
The most talented person in ten thousand years, a rising star at the god-demon level, is fighting against the number one in the world, King Zhenwu. Before the battle, everyone was more or less looking forward to it.
But this is no longer anticlimactic...
Li Yuan seemed unaware. He didn't care about the result of the hammer at all. He just looked at Dong Ershisan through the scattered dust.
His eyelids couldn't stop twitching, and he couldn't stop feeling the pain in his flesh whenever he thought of his spirit puppet's heart.
This damned old fellow!
"What did you say?"
On the viewing platform, Dong Ershisan's face was as gloomy as water. A strange bird with a human head flapping its wings beside him couldn't help but look at Li Yuan. The hairs on his body stood up and his eyes were full of horror and fear.
how dare you?
"I said……"
Master Li Dao was very angry, but before he could vent his anger, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and he jumped up without thinking.
Boom!
The ruins-like arena was shaking violently, as if a volcano that had been accumulating for countless years was about to erupt.
The Grand Master has combined the three elements into one, and it is difficult to kill him unless he is in the Broken God Realm, let alone a strong man in the Divine Palace Realm?
Li Yuan used all his strength to strike with his hammer, and the outcome was decided, but he was still unable to kill a powerful Divine Palace Realm warrior with one blow.
"Li Yuan!"
The sword light spread like a tide, and Wan Zhuliu slowly stood up. Under his ragged clothes, divine patterns appeared on his body that seemed to have been tempered by thousands of hammers.
It was like a dark dragon wandering around, and a cold sword intent was rising.
Under this blow, his tendons and bones were broken in many places, and his inner armor and true energy were all shattered, but his spirit palace was already formed, and within a breath, most of his injuries were healed.
But when he stood up again, he no longer felt the restraints from the Bafang Temple, and his spiritual realm had fully revived.
"senior!"
On the viewing platform, Taoist Yuan Qing's face changed, and he couldn't help but summon the Three Yuans and One Qi Posture, but the next moment, he froze in place after a glance from Dong Twenty-three.
"I?"
An indifferent voice echoed from the viewing platform.
hum~
Invisible ripples spread out like a cold current in midwinter, freezing everything; even the scattered dust seemed to be solidified in the air.
'The old man is too fierce!'
Li Yuan felt a chill in his heart, and felt that the void around him was pressing towards him as if it were a solid object. With his current physical strength, he was unable to move for a moment, like a mosquito in amber.
All they could do was watch helplessly as Dong Ershisan walked step by step from the viewing stand in the midst of the stagnation.
But he was just shocked by the old guy's strength, and he didn't feel any fear in his heart.
In the past three years, he had listened to the audio too many times. Many of the rules that Dong Twenty-three had intentionally concealed were all mentioned in his listening. For example, the "rules" carved in the Eight Directions Temple with divine patterns by the powerful man who left the Eight Directions Temple were all present in the door puppet.
Because of this rule, the Eight Directions Temple will not be destroyed and the spirit puppet will not be destroyed.
The spirit puppet itself cannot violate this rule, which is why Dong Twenty-three asked Li Yuan whether he agreed.
This is the rule.
Woohoo~
When Li Yuan recalled the teachings about the rules of Bafang Temple in his mind, the invisible ripples had already covered everyone, and Wan Zhuliu, who had drawn his sword in the ruins, was also frozen in place.
"Twenty-three Master..."
The strange bird with a human head flapped its wings and flew over, trying to persuade him: "He is not wrong. This is against the rules..."
"roll!"
Dong Twenty-three glanced at him.
"okay!"
Giving Li Yuan a look that said "I can't help you", the bird with a human head fled in panic.
As Dong Ershisan approached, Li Yuan felt a chill in his heart. He didn't believe that this old guy could go against the rules of the Bafang Temple, but the aura that far exceeded the realm of the Divine Palace still made him feel uneasy.
"You're very brave."
Coming from the air, Dong Twenty-three looked at Li Yuan. Was this boy who dared to insult him really the fawning boy who lowered his head and looked obedient before?
"No possession..."
With this thought in mind, Dong Twenty-three relaxed.
Li Yuan felt the restraints around him loosen. He moved his hands and feet, as if he was too lazy to answer. He took out the Bafang Temple token and was about to leave.
"slow!"
Dong Twenty-three frowned.
"What? Can't you leave?"
Li Yuan's heart moved slightly.
In the past three years, he has dealt with Dong Ershisan a lot, but this old guy is stubborn and unyielding. Even someone as experienced as him can't coax him.
But now, he clearly noticed that the old guy's attitude seemed to have changed?
"It can't be that he likes being scolded... No, this old guy likes the kind of genius who is fierce in killing and fighting against the stronger..."
Although he felt strange, Li Yuan remained calm.
"Since the day the Eight Directions Temple was built, I have been in charge of the East Territory's gateway. Since then, I have seen too many challengers entering the temple, and there are many who have talents and understandings that are better than yours..."
Dong Twenty-three put his hands behind his back and said calmly, “But for those who can eventually take charge of the East Temple, talent and understanding are only secondary, and being proficient in killing is the most important thing.
If you have laws but no principles, it is difficult to achieve great things; if you have principles but no laws, it is difficult to achieve immortality..."
"..."
After taking a glance at Wan Zhuliu in the ruins, Li Yuan understood.
Compared to taking shortcuts to climb the mountain and enter the temple, this old guy prefers the challengers who take it slow and steady and fight their way into the temple...
"You have great talent and understanding, but if you are not proficient in the way of killing, you will not be able to stay in the temple for long..."
At this point, Dong Ershisan paused and said, "I have no intention of making things difficult for you. I just want to take this opportunity to give you some experience in killing. Since you don't want to..."
"That's all."
"Ok?"
The strange bird with a human head flapping its wings not far away suddenly turned around and was startled, as if it couldn't believe that these were the words of its own Twenty-Third Master.
"Thank you for your understanding, senior."
Li Yuan was also a little surprised. After a moment's thought, he reluctantly bowed.
Daoye Li was naturally thick-skinned, but he was still a little embarrassed after having a fight and scolding and then bowing and thanking someone the next moment.
"Since you have no intention of killing, I will not force you in the future."
Dong Ershisan turned away with a wave of his sleeves, feeling somewhat regretful.
He had seen many challengers with gods and demons level talents, but that was a long period of time measured in hundreds of thousands of years, and he would not encounter them every time.
pity……
"Boy..."
The strange bird with a human head fluttered over and wanted to say something, but was slapped into the air by Dong Ershisan:
"Go back to your Taoist tower!"
hum~
Dong Ershisan slapped back with his hand, and the fighting arena shattered instantly and dissipated into divine light.
Li Yuan turned around, and Wan Zhuliu's indifferent figure also disappeared in the flowing light.
