Chapter 129

With the appearance of the Green Lotus Core Flame, a scorching temperature permeated the air, making it feel as though the surrounding temperature had risen significantly!

Immediately following this, Li Lianhua brought his right index and middle fingers together, pinching into a sword seal.

The Xuan Yu Sword seemed to sense Li Lianhua's fighting spirit, emitting bursts of sword hums as it circled around him, coiled and ready to strike, like a swimming dragon!

Seeing Li Lianhua with flames in his left hand and a sword seal in his right, a considerable commotion broke out among the Six Great Sects!

It was no surprise that Li Lianhua could use the Art of Sword Control, but no one expected him to be able to conjure flames with his bare hands.

Moreover, the appearance of those flames looked far from simple!

Abbot Xuanci and the others exchanged glances, their faces revealing a solemn expression.

However, under the gaze of everyone and with the atmosphere built up to this point, could they really back down now?

Caught in a dilemma, Abbot Xuanci whispered a Buddhist chant, then raised his palm and struck toward Li Lianhua!

The palm force was extremely rigid and yang, with an extraordinary momentum!

Yet, Li Lianhua merely guided the sword seal in his hand, and this mid-air palm force was pierced through by his flying sword!

Seeing this, Abbess Miejue, Song Yuanqiao, Yu Canghai, the couple He Taichong and Ban Shuxian, as well as the Five Elders of Kongdong!

A dozen people attacked simultaneously!

In an instant, sharp sword Qi, overbearing fist force, and the close-quarters combat of Song Yuanqiao and Abbot Xuanci all descended upon Li Lianhua.

Seeing the crowd closing in, Li Lianhua tapped his feet and retreated rapidly!

In a moment, Song Yuanqiao, Abbot Xuanci, and the couple He Taichong and Ban Shuxian, wielding the Anti-Yin-Yang Sword Art, arrived at the spot where Li Lianhua had just been standing.

"Hmm? What is this?"

As Li Lianhua withdrew, a talisman fell onto his original spot, causing He Taichong to feel secretly surprised!

Looking at the talisman, it was drawn with many mysterious lines, and in the middle, one could see a large character for "Explode."

Was this something that fell from Li Lianhua's body when he retreated just now?

*Sss, sss, sss! *

Just as He Taichong's attention was fixed on the talisman, it suddenly ignited without warning!

"Retreat quickly!"

Although she didn't know exactly what the talisman did, seeing it burn without fire, He Taichong's wife, Ban Shuxian, felt a reflexive sense of unease and shouted!

Hearing this, He Taichong also felt his hair stand on end and quickly pulled back!

However, it was already a step too late!

A *Boom—* of an explosion suddenly rang out, making the earth tremble; the explosive tag, like a high-explosive grenade, emitted a powerful blast!

Screams rang out as both He Taichong and his wife were blown away by the shockwave of the explosive tag.

The two landed on the ground, half of their bodies charred black, looking truly miserable!

Even Song Yuanqiao and Abbot Xuanci, who was preparing to use the Dragon Claw Hand, were shaken back by the shockwave, feeling their internal organs churning and wanting to vomit blood!

"That? What was that? A talisman?"

Watching with their own eyes as a light piece of paper burned, followed by a terrifying explosion, the power of the blast made everyone's brows twitch wildly!

This Li Lianhua not only had extremely high attainments in the way of the sword, but his primary methods were also incredibly strange, giving people a sense of being impossible to guard against!

A dozen people attacked together, and just as they started, two were already incapacitated?

"Not bad, not bad. These explosive tags can still achieve miraculous effects at certain times!"

Seeing He Taichong and his wife severely injured, and Song Yuanqiao and Abbot Xuanci lightly injured, Li Lianhua nodded with satisfaction!

Because explosive tags were something that did not exist in this world.

Therefore, even if they saw them, they wouldn't have a strong sense of precaution!

If a ninja from the Naruto World saw them, they would have stayed far away from the very beginning!

Looking at the Seven Injuries Fist force of the Five Elders of Kongdong approaching, Li Lianhua waved his left hand, and the Green Lotus Core Flame was scattered out.

The cyan flames turned into a barrier blocking his front, and the incoming fist force was immediately incinerated by the flames!

Afterward, the scattered Green Lotus Core Flame was retracted, and everyone's vision was restored!

Only, the single figure of Li Lianhua had now turned into six!

This left everyone dumbfounded!

What was going on?

How did Li Lianhua suddenly turn into six?

Not to mention how shocked the others were, Li Lianhua, having used the Clone Technique to create five phantom clones, controlled two of them to pounce toward the Five Elders of Kongdong!

Then, the remaining three rushed toward Song Yuanqiao, Abbot Xuanci, and Abbess Miejue respectively!

As for his true self? He moved toward Yu Canghai!

Unable to distinguish the real Li Lianhua from the fake ones, these people naturally fought with twelve times the focus!

But whether it was Song Yuanqiao's sword or the fists of the Five Elders of Kongdong, they all passed right through the clones.

Then, all of Li Lianhua's clones dissipated like light smoke!

"This move again!"

Others might not know, but Yang Xiao and the others had seen Li Lianhua use the Clone Technique to deal with Cheng Kun with their own eyes.

They just didn't expect that Li Lianhua could create so many phantom clones at the same time!

With a slash of his sword, although the sword in Yu Canghai's hand was of extraordinary quality, how could it compare to the magic treasure in Li Lianhua's hand?

The sword in his hand was snapped in two, and Yu Canghai himself was sent flying!

A massive sword scar appeared on his chest, dripping with blood, almost cutting him open!

Following this, Li Lianhua repeated his old trick, scattering another large area of flames, leaving Abbess Miejue and the others struggling to cope.

At the same time, it blocked their line of sight!

Taking the opportunity, he used the Clone Technique again!

Using the phantom clones to distract others, Li Lianhua intended to defeat them one by one!

In the blink of an eye, the Five Elders of Kongdong fell one after another!

Seeing these methods, the people of the Six Great Sects cursed inwardly, but they were helpless!

A dozen people surrounded Li Lianhua, and in the blink of an eye, seven or eight were already lying on the ground!

*Whoosh! *

However, just as Li Lianhua wanted to repeat his trick and scatter the Green Lotus Core Flame again, a figure pounced toward him with the speed of a thunderbolt.

At the same time, a fist struck down toward Li Lianhua with the force of thunder!

This sudden attack made Li Lianhua's heart tighten!

Whether in speed or power, this attacker's cultivation far exceeded that of Abbess Miejue and Song Yuanqiao!

Li Lianhua hurriedly raised his hand and traded a punch with the newcomer!

A great force surged, and Li Lianhua's figure was hard to control, forcing him to retreat half a step!

However, the attacker looked even worse off, his figure shaken back more than half a *zhang*!

"Grandmaster Realm!?" Retreating half a step and barely stabilizing his figure, Li Lianhua's heart sank!

To be able to force him back half a step, the opponent's cultivation must have reached the Grandmaster Realm!

*Swish! *

The attacker was shaken back more than half a *zhang* by Li Lianhua, but even as he was pushed back, he didn't care about stabilizing his stance, raising his hand to shoot a small Vajra Pestle toward Li Lianhua!

"Block!"

With a slight frown, Li Lianhua let out a low shout in his heart while raising his arm!

The Vajra Pestle landed on Li Lianhua's arm, but it didn't injure him; instead, it was blocked by his arm!

"Such strong external training!" Seeing his hidden weapon blocked by Li Lianhua's flesh and blood, a rough voice mixed with exclamation rang out!

After Li Lianhua stabilized his figure, he looked at the opponent carefully!

He saw that the person attacking him had a face full of whiskers, a physique as strong as an ox, and muscles knotted all over his body.

However, he had a shaved head, and a string of large prayer beads hung around his neck!

Although he looked like a monk from his attire.

But his rough and fierce appearance had absolutely nothing to do with a Buddhist monk!

"Fire-tending Monk!" Looking at the person attacking Li Lianhua, Abbot Xuanci nearby suddenly exclaimed!

"Hehehe, this poor monk has no time to reminisce with you Shaolin fellows today!"

Hearing this, the rough and sturdy monk glanced at Abbot Xuanci and grinned.
