Chapter 167 Monk Mingdeng

Meanwhile, as the noble youth inside the restaurant was chatting idly with the elderly man,

within the Qinghe County Demon Suppression Guard, the prodigal trash in their mouths, after his expression flickered uncertainly for a moment, finally spoke to Sun Xuan, saying:

"Since you claim that true spirit artifact ranked on the chaos myriad spirits ranking has not fallen into the hands of you people from the Town Demon Guard,

then let my subordinates thoroughly search the entire Town Demon Guard.

Furthermore, including you, everyone in the Town Demon Guard must open their Soul for my subordinates to search.

Otherwise, if any of you have refined that true spirit artifact, my men won't be able to find it."

After Gu Ren finished speaking, Sun Xuan's gaze instantly turned cold.

Although Sun Xuan did not want to cause trouble at this moment, if someone wanted to court death, Sun Xuan would not mind sending him to the Western Paradise.

At worst, he could just directly make a move to turn this world upside down, then dust off his hands and return to the Renegade Immortal World.

Of course, returning to the Renegade Immortal World early was something he would only do under unavoidable circumstances.

After all, Sun Xuan had spent a considerable price to descend into this world.

If it couldn't be exchanged for sufficient profits, wouldn't he be taking too big of a loss?

As for Gu Ren's proposal to inspect the Souls of everyone in the Town Demon Guard, Sun Xuan was absolutely impossible to agree to it.

After all, those two true spirit artifacts ranked on the chaos myriad spirits ranking obtained in that underground space were currently staying safely inside Sun Xuan's body.

Even if Sun Xuan truly hadn't obtained the true spirit artifact, Sun Xuan would still find it impossible to let others inspect his Soul.

Once his Soul was inspected by others, not only would all his secrets be exposed, but his life and death would also be completely controlled in the hands of others.

Furthermore, deep within Sun Xuan's Soul hid his true body; if he casually let others inspect it, once his true body was exposed in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao,

then that ball of blood-colored light flame swallowed by Sun Xuan earlier would be Sun Xuan's future fate.

Therefore, the matter of letting others inspect his Soul was utterly impossible.

Sun Xuan's mouth carried a trace of a cold smile as he spoke:

"It is impossible for this envoy to agree to the demand you proposed.

If there is nothing else, you few had better return!"

After Gu Ren heard Sun Xuan's refusal, his inherently irritable and hot-tempered personality caused Gu Ren to directly fly into a frenzy.

"Good, good, good! A mere Town Demon Envoy is actually so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.

Great Master Mingdeng, slaughter the Town Demon Guard for me! Once all these people are killed, it will become completely clear whether or not that true spirit artifact ranked on the chaos myriad spirits ranking is here!"

Gu Ren's eyes were bloodred as he roared angrily toward Sun Xuan's direction.

As for the old monk following behind Gu Ren, after hearing Gu Ren's words, a flash of cold murderous intent instantly crossed his eyes.

Then, without saying another word, he struck out with a palm toward Sun Xuan's direction.

Watching Monk Mingdeng make a move against Sun Xuan, a look of gratification immediately flashed across Gu Ren's face.

He could already eagerly wait to see what this tiny Town Demon Envoy, who dared to talk back to him, would look like when he was smashed to pieces under Monk Mingdeng's palm.

However, the scene that followed nearly caused Gu Ren's eyes to pop out.

Under Monk Mingdeng's powerful martial arts strength of the Early Stage rank four, that palm containing world-destroying power was actually forcefully received by this plain-looking Town Demon Envoy in front of him.

Furthermore, under Monk Mingdeng's palm strike, not to mention being injured, Sun Xuan didn't even move his body's location by a single inch.

Under this situation, everyone including Gu Ren instantly changed their expressions.

And Monk Mingdeng's half-opened eyes opened completely at this moment, wisps of brilliant light flickering restlessly within Monk Mingdeng's eyes.

"Benefactor is able to receive this strike of poor monk's fifty percent strength; it seems Benefactor has also concealed your strength.

However, as a Town Demon Envoy within a county domain, being able to receive a fifty percent power strike from poor monk already counts as being among the absolute top tier of Town Demon Envoys.

But next, Benefactor must be careful. Since Benefactor has concealed your strength, poor monk is going to go all out!"

As soon as Monk Mingdeng's voice fell, he immediately let out a furious shout:

"Buddha's Wrath Holy Palm!"

The moment his voice rose, a blinding golden light immediately erupted from Monk Mingdeng's body.

Immediately following that, Monk Mingdeng's hands quickly formed several hand seals, and the golden light on his body instantly converged toward Mingdeng's palms like flowing water.

Following closely, Monk Mingdeng's eyes widened in fury, just as if he had encountered something extremely infuriating.

Then his palms, completely dyed golden by the golden light, slammed fiercely toward Sun Xuan's body.

Seeing this, the coldness at the corners of Sun Xuan's mouth grew even more intense, and the true essence within his body surged up at this moment like a raging sea and violent waves.

A layer of hazy black and white dual-colored flowing light rose from Sun Xuan's body, then rapidly rotated around Sun Xuan's entire body like stars.

"Old bald donkey, since you overestimate your capabilities and seek your own death, this seat will send you to the Western Paradise to meet your Buddha!"

As soon as his voice fell, the black and white dual-colored flowing light immediately coiled around Sun Xuan's palms.

Then divine light flashed violently in Sun Xuan's eyes. Facing the palm full of golden light struck by Monk Mingdeng, he did not dodge or evade at all, and instead used his palms entwined with black and white dual-colored flowing light to fiercely counter-strike against that golden palm.

"Boom!"

Only a deafening explosive sound was heard, ringing out like a muffled thunderclap rising from flat ground.

The formidable aftershock, accompanied by a huge roaring sound, instantly erupted from the spot where Sun Xuan and Monk Mingdeng's palms clashed.

Under this aftershock, Gu Ren, who was closest, instantly changed his expression wildly, and immediately was sent flying entirely away by this aftershock.

Although Gu Ren's other subordinates wanted to rescue Gu Ren, under this formidable aftershock, they simply lacked the ability despite desiring to do so.

They could only watch helplessly as Gu Ren was sent tumbling three circles in mid-air under this formidable aftershock, then smashed fiercely against the wall of the Town Demon Guard.

Hearing a muffled bang, Gu Ren actually directly smashed the wall of the Town Demon Guard to collapse.

Then, under the rebound force, with a slap, he crashed down onto the ground.

As for those subordinates of Gu Ren, they didn't have it easy either.

Although Gu Ren's subordinates were relatively far away and their strength was generally much stronger than Gu Ren's,

under this formidable aftershock, they were still shaken flying away one by one like rolling gourds on the ground.

From this, it can be seen just how formidable the might of this palm strike between Sun Xuan and Monk Mingdeng truly was.

Meanwhile, under Sun Xuan's casual palm strike, Monk Mingdeng's expression directly changed drastically.

After Monk Mingdeng exchanged this palm strike with Sun Xuan, he only felt a formidable force that was hard to resist transmitting from his palm into his body.

Furthermore, this force also carried an extremely domineering destructive power, causing Monk Mingdeng's figure to retreat uncontrollably.

In order to dissipate this powerful and domineering force, Monk Mingdeng's figure retreated more than a dozen steps consecutively on the ground.

Furthermore, every step Monk Mingdeng retreated crushed the hard bluestone flooring in the Town Demon Guard into pieces.

After retreating more than a dozen steps consecutively, he finally managed to barely dissipate that domineering force and stopped his figure.

Under this strike, attribute light spheres popped out from everyone's bodies, including Gu Ren.

Seeing this, Sun Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, then silently absorbed all these attribute light spheres into his body.

After absorbing these attribute light spheres into his body, Sun Xuan clearly sensed that his Physical Body and Soul strength had both improved by a small margin.

After all, those present had martial arts cultivation that was not weak; even Gu Ren, who had the lowest martial arts cultivation among them, possessed the strength of the rank seven realm.

Let alone Monk Mingdeng, who was blasted retreating repeatedly by Sun Xuan's palm; his martial arts cultivation had even reached the Early Stage rank four realm.

Although it was still far inferior to Sun Xuan's martial arts strength at the Late Stage rank three at this moment, it was already much, much stronger than the Martial Artists in Qinghe County previously.

The attribute light spheres popped out by those low-tier Martial Artists in Qinghe County previously could no longer bring any improvement to Sun Xuan.

At this moment, on the bodies of these powerful Martial Artists, Sun Xuan once again experienced the feeling of his strength rising rapidly.

And this was also the reason why Sun Xuan didn't kill Monk Mingdeng with a single palm.

Although Monk Mingdeng's strength at the Early Stage rank four at this moment was extremely powerful,

in front of Sun Xuan, whose martial arts cultivation had already reached the Late Stage rank three realm, it was still not worth mentioning.

Furthermore, Sun Xuan not only had formidable martial arts cultivation, but the Heavenly Demon Martial Classic he created himself was also an extremely formidable martial art.

Combined with Sun Xuan's exaggerated physical strength and the true spirit artifact ranked on the chaos myriad spirits ranking he wielded in his hands,

if Sun Xuan wanted to kill this Monk Mingdeng, it would only take a single move to take Monk Mingdeng's little life.

The reason why Sun Xuan didn't directly kill Monk Mingdeng with a single move right now was precisely because he wanted to milk some attribute light spheres off Monk Mingdeng and the others.

Anyway, with Sun Xuan's martial arts cultivation at this moment, wanting to kill Monk Mingdeng's group was as easy as turning over his hand.

Right now, it might be better to squeeze dry the value of these people before finishing them off.

Right after Sun Xuan and Monk Mingdeng exchanged a palm strike, those subordinates who had been shaken flying away by the aftershock like rolling gourds, after crawling back up, immediately ran toward Gu Ren's direction with panicked expressions.

Aside from Monk Mingdeng, everyone else among these people were domestic slaves cultivated by the Gu Family.

If Gu Ren really suffered any accidents here,

this group of domestic slaves from the Gu Family would be in deep trouble.

Not only would these people have to die, but the Gu Family would absolutely not let their family members off either.

After all, Gu Ren right now was the sole heir of the Gu Family.

Once anything happened to Gu Ren, the Gu Family would definitely go directly crazy.

However, after these people helped up the blood-splattered Gu Ren, each of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this Gu Ren was shaken and suffered not-so-light injuries under the previous aftershock, he was finally free of any life-threatening danger.

As long as this Gu Ren wasn't dead, then everything was still easy to talk about.

After Gu Ren was helped up by this group of people, his somewhat dizzy mind from the shock suddenly reacted.

Gu Ren's eyes were instantly filled with a look of frantic rage, and both eyeballs turned completely red under the infiltration of this furious intent.

At this moment, Gu Ren's face was covered in blood and his body was filth-stained; his furious expression made Gu Ren look as ferocious and terrifying as an evil ghost at this moment.

"Mingdeng, kill him for me! You must kill him for me!

As long as you, Mingdeng, finish off this rebellious scoundrel for me, when I go back, I will bestow that Yuanyang Sarira from the Gu Family's treasury upon you!"

At this moment, Gu Ren was frantically roaring at Monk Mingdeng.

As the sole heir of the Gu Family, Gu Ren had lived in luxury and pampered comfort since childhood; when had he ever suffered this kind of grievance?

Today, Gu Ren never expected that within this tiny Qinghe County city, he would actually be made to suffer this kind of supreme humiliation.

If he didn't finish off the culprit now, it would be hard to soothe the hatred in Gu Ren's heart.

After listening to Gu Ren's words, Monk Mingdeng couldn't help but secretly wail in misery in his heart.

Under that palm strike just now, Monk Mingdeng discovered that this seemingly plain-looking Town Demon Envoy before his eyes had strength that was simply not inferior to his own.

Wanting to slay a powerhouse on the same level as himself was not that easy.

However, what Monk Mingdeng did not know was that during that palm strike he exchanged with him earlier, Sun Xuan had not used his true strength at all.

Sun Xuan had simply casually matched strikes with him based on Monk Mingdeng's true strength.

Monk Mingdeng's feeling that he was on par with Sun Xuan's strength was purely an illusion resulting from Sun Xuan holding back.

Furthermore, upon hearing about the Yuanyang Sarira from Gu Ren's mouth, Monk Mingdeng's gaze changed several times.

That Gu Ren had hit Monk Mingdeng's Achilles' heel in one go; that Yuanyang Sarira was extremely important to him.

It was even directly related to his subsequent martial arts path, so for the sake of the Yuanyang Sarira in Gu Ren's words, Monk Mingdeng had to fight for it no matter what.

In Monk Mingdeng's mind, although he was at a disadvantage under his previous strike, the opponent's strength shouldn't be too much stronger than his own.

Moreover, he still had his trump card unused; he believed that under his trump card, this Martial Artist who looked extremely young before him shouldn't be his match.

Men die for wealth, and birds die for food; for the sake of his future martial arts path, Monk Mingdeng could only risk his life at this moment.

And at this moment, Monk Mingdeng's thought happened to coincide with Sun Xuan's thought.

Right now, Sun Xuan was not in such a hurry to finish off Monk Mingdeng's group; instead, he thought about squeezing out the attribute light spheres on Monk Mingdeng and the others to a good extent before making a move to kill them.

Just like that, after halting his figure, Monk Mingdeng gritted his teeth and, without saying another word, charged toward Sun Xuan once again.

Furthermore, while charging toward Sun Xuan's direction, Monk Mingdeng raised his hand and sacrificed a Buddhist bead shining with golden light.

The instant he saw this string of Buddhist beads, Sun Xuan's gaze couldn't help narrowing slightly; on this string of Buddhist beads, Sun Xuan actually sensed a formidable aura akin to the evil dragon saber.
