Chapter 338: 322 Jin Gang Freedom Seal, go to hell!

【Zhu Ziqian hears this and his face reveals a bit more ruthlessness.】

【"I originally only wanted to pluck off your head and give you a quick end, considering Zhang Yuzhi's face."】

【"Now I have changed my mind; I will extract your bone marrow and leave you with one breath, making you into a human pig."】

【Shen Kuan's face also has joy; killing Xie Guan is the purpose of his trip, and although he is not killing him personally, being able to witness it is also satisfying.】

【Your face is calm.】

【Xu Xiyue watches, worried, especially because of Zhu Ziqian's deep demon arts.】

【She asks worriedly: "Master, this person is already about to light the divine fire, won't..."】

【The old monk just says lightly: "The two great hand seals among the three supreme hand seals... if they cannot subdue demons, my Buddhism would not be famous for nothing."】

【Xu Xiyue is slightly surprised, "Buddhism's supreme hand seals!"】

【The Demon Master looks at you and smiles: "Can only use Buddhist techniques."】

【You nod, "Senior, Xie Guan, naturally understands!"】

【The Demon Master smiles, "Then let's begin."】

【Zhu Ziqian does not hesitate either; if he were facing someone like Xie Guan normally, he would likely not strike first.】

【At this time, with the Demon Master present, he wants to prove himself and crush the opponent with strength.】

【A lion fighting a rabbit also uses its full strength!】

【Zhu Ziqian sees you have no intention of striking and a cold smile curls at the corners of his mouth.】

【Blood-colored mist seems to rise in his hands, the veins on his arms bulge, his entire arm like reaching into a blood pool, scooping up a handful of blood, fresh blood dripping slowly, shocking to the eye.】

【Shen Kuan is startled upon seeing this, exclaiming: "It's actually the Blood God Sect's Blood Shadow Demon Art!"】

【This is a demon art that requires absorbing human blood every day to cultivate.】

【It is one of the few demon arts strictly prohibited by the Great Qi Academy; if cultivated, it is equivalent to a demon seed.】

【Once discovered, kill without mercy!】

【Cultivating this demon art requires fresh blood nourishment every day, and the cultivator is addicted to human blood, unable to extricate themselves.】

【Recalling twenty years ago, there was a period in the capital when hundreds of refugees disappeared mysteriously; it turned out to be someone in the Blood God Sect cultivating the "Blood Shadow Demon Art" and eating people. Later, they were pursued by three silver-badge catchers of the Six Doors, but actually killed the three of them. This matter shocked the Academy, and finally, the Academy teacher struck, arresting him and executing him outside the Meridian Gate.】

【What is shocking is that even after his head fell to the ground, his body could still move freely.】

【Cultivating this art, as long as there is a continuous supply of human blood, the speed of cultivation is astonishing.】

【The internal strength obtained contains extremely domineering blood poison; once touched, the blood poison enters the body instantly, eroding the internal organs, and its power is terrifying.】

【Even more, this art can drive blood, making the speed of movement double, like a ghost.】

【Shen Kuan looks at the karmic obstacles on Zhu Ziqian's body and understands that this person uses human blood to cultivate, having reached a deep realm, and the number of lives he carries likely exceeds a hundred!】

【And he is still in the Academy, reading and seeking knowledge; this matter is truly unbelievable.】

【The old monk on the side looks at the field, presses his hands together, and chants: "Namo Amitabha!"】

【Xu Jiangxian sees this and nods slightly.】

【Zhu Ziqian's blood-red blood has not yet hit the ground, and he is already approaching before your eyes in an instant.】

【The lame old man's gaze tightens, saying in a deep voice: "Blood Shadow Escape!"】

【Although he does not like such demon arts because they hurt the harmony of heaven, the progress in the early stages is rapid, but the later stages are prone to bottlenecks, and there are heart-questioning passes during breakthroughs, often leading to deviation, making it extremely difficult.】

【However, it cannot be denied!】

【The speed of breaking through in the early stages of such demon arts is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people, and the methods are fierce, domineering, and unpredictable, often difficult for martial artists of the same realm to match, having a great advantage.】

【Zhu Ziqian's original scholarly appearance changes completely, his body emanating forest-like demon Qi, like a different person.】

【Xu Xiyue frowns tightly, seeing a trail of blood like stagnant blood dragged along the path Zhu Ziqian took.】

【This is the "Blood Shadow Demon Art's" blood escape method; relying on this blood trail, Zhu Ziqian can quickly return to his original position.】

【His confrontation just began, and he seized the initiative, clearly not wanting to leave Xie Guan any chance to catch his breath.】

【When Master Lianchi was passing on techniques to Xie Guan, Zhu Ziqian was already secretly paying attention, intending to block Xie Guan from displaying Buddhist profound arts.】

【Most likely, he provoked intentionally, leaving people with the impression of being reckless, but actually secretly laid down the blood escape method, his deep scheming visible.】

【"Bang—"】

【A loud noise, like gold and iron clashing, a great bell being struck suddenly.】

【A glazed half-cut Buddha hand appears out of thin air, protecting Xie Guan firmly.】

【Zhu Ziqian's blood-red hand prints on the glazed Buddha hand, as if real, the huge counter-shock force coming from his hand.】

【The filthy blood on his hand is like red-hot iron in water, emitting "hissing" steam.】

【The three guards are already fully focused; Zhu Ziqian's sudden appearance is so fast that they are caught off guard.】

【Fortunately, you seem to have been prepared, using the "Startling Waves Buddha Hand" to protect yourself.】

【Shen Kuan reveals a look of regret; it actually didn't take your life.】

【The Demon Master flashes a look of appreciation; in just one hour, you have actually mastered one style of the old monk's "Jin Gang Zen Tathagata Jade Hand."】

【Such talent is truly rare!】

【Zhu Ziqian's blood-red palm hits the "Glazed Buddha Hand" heavily; through the glazed Buddha hand, he glimpses you slowly forming a seal with both hands.】

【Zhu Ziqian's eyes narrow, instantly escaping into the blood trail like mud, and when he reappears, he has returned to his original position.】

【You do not form a seal, just clap your hands lightly, a smile on your lips, looking straight at him.】

【"Just clapping hands, why are you panicking?"】

【The young man's words echo in the field with a bit of sarcasm.】

【The two martial arts guards of the Sima family laugh loudly upon hearing this: "What are you panicking about!"】

【Zhu Ziqian's face is ugly.】

【The Demon Master's expression is normal, joy and anger difficult to distinguish.】

【Zhu Ziqian says coldly: "Xie Guan, don't be complacent."】

【You just shake your head lightly, the smile remaining.】

【Zhu Ziqian's face grows increasingly gloomy, seeing you seem to have no intention of striking, just both hands leisurely, your entire body full of openings.】

【"Let's see how many times you can use this Buddha hand!"】

【He is certain that the consumption of this glazed Buddha hand is huge, and with your Primordial Spirit and martial arts cultivation, you should not be able to use it many times before you are exhausted.】

【Zhu Ziqian sees your hands have not dropped, his eyes move.】

【In an instant!】

【Blood Qi circles in his hands, and a blood trail appears, spreading directly in front of him.】

【Zhu Ziqian's palm prints in front of you again.】

【"Bang—"】

【Another striking sound.】

【You even put your hands behind your back, looking at him through the glazed golden Buddha hand.】

【Zhu Ziqian is stunned; you can actually use this glazed golden Buddha hand without pinching a seal.】

【The old monk Lianchi is also shocked in his heart; he did not expect you to master this style of "Startling Waves Buddha Hand" so skillfully in such a short time, even being able to display it without pinching a seal.】

【However, the old monk soon discovers the clues in it.】

【Wrong!】

【You had already formed this style of Buddha hand just now, just deliberately slowing down for a moment.】

【You guessed that Zhu Ziqian would strike next.】

【What kind of confidence is this!】

【Master Lianchi looks at the young man, his face calm, as if everything is under control.】

【The young man has innate wisdom, possessing a natural Seven-Orifice Glazed Heart.】

【The old monk suddenly has a thought, wanting to take Xie Guan back to the Southern Eastern Saint Sect and establish him as the new generation of Zhu Fuzi, but then shakes his head slowly; the Eastern Saint Sect already has a natural Zhu Fuzi.】

【You slowly raise both hands, pinching a seal with your fingertips, the Buddha light crystal clear, like reality.】

【Zhu Ziqian sees this, his eyes change slightly, his figure disappears instantly, a streak of blood flashes, and he returns to his original position quickly.】

【You shake your head to yourself, your palm movements changing to clapping, seemingly teasing your opponent.】

【Just at this moment!】

【Zhu Ziqian's figure flashes again, appearing suddenly, a pair of blood palms carrying sharp killing intent, rushing straight at you.】

【He sneers in his heart, going to use the same trick again!】

【This time I will take your life!】

【As long as your body is not protected by the Buddha hand, and touched lightly by his blood hand, this battle will be settled.】

【Once a martial artist in the middle three realms is touched by a bit of his blood poison, it is difficult to get rid of it, and within a moment, the internal organs will be completely eroded.】

【But!】

【It is that familiar glazed Buddha hand, appearing exactly the same as before.】

【The young man's face does not even change.】

【Zhu Ziqian's face grows increasingly gloomy, as if dripping water.】

【Three times you have easily blocked it, seemingly being teased.】

【Anger rises in his heart!】

【You slowly pinch a Buddhist seal again.】

【Zhu Ziqian ponders secretly, thinking that you have reached your limit by learning a style of glazed Buddha hand in an hour, and it is unknown if you can use it a few more times.】

【This time it is probably just bluffing; even if you truly have such ability, with your cultivation, it is difficult to cause substantial damage to him.】

【He makes up his mind.】

【Attack with attack!】

【Another style of glazed Buddha hand, no longer protecting you in a virtual grip, but clenching a fist, descending from the sky with great force.】

【"Bang—"】

【A loud noise!】

【The blue stone slabs are smashed to pieces, a large pit appearing under the force, revealing the soil below.】

【This style of Buddha hand can increase power by eight times; you and Zhu Ziqian are both in the middle three realms of martial arts.】

【He is suppressed in terms of strength!】 【338-10

The three guards were overjoyed at this sight, looking at each other in disbelief—they had actually won just like that!

According to the wager, as long as Lu Chen won, they would be able to escape the clutches of the Demon Master.

Xu Xiyue's expression remained steady, her eyes fixed on the deep pit.

It wasn't over yet!

Zhu Ziqian's presence was still there, his breathing deep and steady; there wasn't even a sign that he had suffered a serious injury.

A sinister demonic aura emanated from the large pit.

"Lu Chen, you are truly courting death!"

A cold voice, filled with ruthless killing intent, rang out.

A disheveled figure slowly stood up from the pit, his eyes turned blood-red.

He bared his upper body and pulled a long, spinal bone spur from his chest, which resembled a bone whip.

He lashed it toward you!

You formed a seal to manifest a Glazed Buddha Hand; the bone whip struck it, sounding like metal clashing and throwing off sparks.

One lash!

Two lashes, three lashes...

The radiance on the Glazed Buddha Hand grew increasingly dim.

Xu Xiyue looked at the bone whip in Zhu Ziqian's hand and thought of one thing: "Demon Bone!"

This was a drop of Heavenly Demon Blood condensed from the Demon Sect relic, the "Heavenly Demon Hand."

By refining Heavenly Demon Blood, one could grow a Demon Bone within their body.

The Demon Bone could grow, was incredibly tough, rivaled divine weapons, and could shatter "Qi weapons."

Unthinkable!

This Demon Master was actually willing to part with such a thing; the Heavenly Demon Hand only condensed one drop of Heavenly Demon Blood a year, making it exceptionally precious.

Moreover, it was specifically targeted at this Buddha Hand, which also counted as a type of Qi weapon.

After a few more lashes, the Buddha Hand was already on the verge of dissipating, having gradually lost its luster.

Zhu Ziqian's expression grew increasingly manic, and he continued to lash out with the bone whip.

Seeing this, the lame old man knew the outcome was decided. On the surface, Lu Chen appeared to have the upper hand and remained unscathed, but in reality, you had been passive the entire time, never launching an active attack.

Who was strong and who was weak was already clear!

Furthermore!

The Buddha Hand you had just built up was a hidden trump card. It looked like you had won, but for Zhu Ziqian, you had used your strongest move while he remained completely unharmed.

You were doomed to lose!

It was only a matter of time!

Shen Kuan also saw the relationship between the two, a cold, ferocious sneer on his face.

You slowly formed a Buddha seal with your hands, pressing both thumbs into your palms, keeping your left index finger upright, and wrapping your right fist around the left index finger in front of your chest.

A Zen intent that purified all things and attained absolute detachment emerged.

"Jin Gang Realm Freedom Seal!"

Rippling Buddha light lit up in the old monk's eyes; seeing this legendary hand seal, he slowly followed the youth's movements, mimicking the gesture.

Xu Jiangxian frowned slightly as he watched the Buddha seal in Lu Chen's hand, which radiated a supreme Buddhist aura.

Although the aura was not grand, the Zen intent was extremely deep, seemingly possessing the power to purify all things and return them to the source.

The Glazed Buddha Hand vanished.

The bone whip lashed out in its wake!

You held the hand seal in one hand as if grasping a ball of light, illuminating your surroundings, while your other hand caught the incoming bone whip.

Zhu Ziqian was overjoyed; you actually dared to touch the bone whip with your bare flesh.

The "Blood Poison" in his hand traveled along the bone whip.

Zhu Ziqian watched the Blood Poison burrow into your body, his expression becoming even more manic.

"Courting death!"

He tugged on the bone spur, which was already sharp; by grabbing it with your bare hands, your palms would surely be riddled with holes.

Moreover, his cultivation was higher than yours; he only needed to pull to cripple one of your hands.

Now that the Blood Poison had entered your body, your internal organs would soon be festering with pus and blood, and Zhu Ziqian could control the Blood Poison to condense into spikes and burst through your body.

Strangely!

After the Blood Poison entered your body, it was like a clay ox entering the sea, losing all response, let alone being controlled.

The bone spur in his hand could no longer be retracted; the strength on the other side seemed to surpass his own, holding it firmly in place.

Zhu Ziqian looked up to see your hand glowing with a soft Buddha light; the section of the blood-red bone whip in your grasp was actually turning from blood-red to white under that radiance.

The bone whip he had forged from his own spine had even lost its connection to him.

He hurriedly tried to retract the bone whip.

But he discovered a massive "Glazed Buddha Hand" gripping the end of the bone whip Lu Chen held; the immense force was such that he was dragged forward several steps.

The bone whip was about to be snapped!

Zhu Ziqian's expression turned panicked; if this bone whip snapped, he would also be severely injured.

There was no other way!

Zhu Ziqian unleashed the Heaven-Changing Demon-Striking Art taught to him by the Demon Master.

His entire body's blood boiled, as if enveloped in blood-colored light!

"Lu Chen, go to hell!"
