Being suddenly rebuked by Shijia, Corpse Ghost Dragon was even more furious. He gritted his teeth, gathered all his strength, and slamd a powerful palm toward Shijia, shouting angrily, "You court death!"
This ti, Corpse Ghost Dragon dared not be overconfident and didn't attack from a distance. Instead, he aid his bare palm at Shijia's chest. This way, the force could fully impact Shijia's body without any loss. And with the power he had been accumulating for so long, he was confident this blow would send Shijia flying, perhaps even cost Shijia his life!
This ti, Shijia also dared not be overconfident. He suddenly clasped his hands together, and the kasaya on his body fluttered without wind, violently shaking. It seed as if the True Qi inside him was being stimulated, transforming into a protective True Qi around his body, causing all his clothes to swell, making him look like a ball.
Corpse Ghost Dragon struck with his palm, and the clothes propped up by the wind on Shijia were directly pressed down by him. This palm heavily hit Shijia's body, producing a clanging sound, like the sound of tal clashing.
Everyone around was startled, and Helian Tiehua widened his eyes in disbelief, saying, "This... this..."
The palm of Corpse Ghost Dragon struck Shijia's body, yet Shijia remained motionless, his expression unchanged, as if he hadn't been hard in the slightest. On the contrary, Corpse Ghost Dragon, with a look of astonishnt, stepped back two steps, staring dead at Shijia, just as incredulously as Helian Tiehua.
"Vajra Indestructible Body!" Corpse Ghost Dragon shouted in a deep voice, "I didn't expect you to have completely mastered this unique skill. It seems I truly underestimated you before."
"No, when you saw last ti, I hadn't mastered it." Shijia replied, "This unique skill, I only perfected it in the past few days. I had practiced it before but never carefully. Knowing I'd be fighting you these days, I purposely went back to morize the secret manual and practiced this Vajra Indestructible Body to face you."
With these words, the crowd around was in an uproar. Shijia's words sounded too arrogant. Less than a week ago, according to Shijia, he hadn't even morized the secret manual. And in this week's ti, he morized the manual while practicing the Vajra Indestructible Body and achieved such mastery. Isn't that too much of a genius?
Helian Tiehua was the most shocked. His Thirteen Protectors' Horizontal Golden Bell Shield also derived from the Buddhist Sect's Vajra Indestructible Body. He knew best how hard it was to master the Vajra Indestructible Body. With his own aptitude, it took him a full fifty years from childhood to master the Thirteen Protectors' Horizontal Golden Bell Shield. And reaching the consummate state of the Thirteen Protectors' Horizontal Golden Bell Shield was still only considered the initial stage of the Vajra Indestructible Body. Many people might never accomplish the Vajra Indestructible Body in their lifeti. So many masters in Xiaolin Temple throughout history, yet only a re five or six could perfect the Vajra Indestructible Body. These individuals were invariably endowed with great wisdom and determination, living over one hundred years, taking a century to master this Vajra Indestructible Body.
And Shijia claid he mastered this Vajra Indestructible Body in just one short week. How could the crowd not be shocked?
"Bald donkey, you're boasting too much!" Corpse Ghost Dragon said in a deep voice, "Don't think I don't understand your Buddhist Sect's secret techniques; I know about this Vajra Indestructible Body too. Without a hundred years, it can't be mastered at all. Even if you are a genius, it's impossible to achieve it in such a short ti!"
"Believe it or not." Shijia shrugged, saying, "I used to only practice the Vajra Indestructible Body once when reaching the Zen ditation Realm, using Purple Lotus Karma Fire to burn off karmic power. I got lazy and didn't practice after that, eventually forgetting the secret manual. This ti starting again, it took three days to master it!"
"Blow, keep blowing!" Corpse Ghost Dragon had a look of disdain, his expression indicating he couldn't even be bothered to listen to Shijia anymore.
"Sigh, I don't know what to say; I'm telling the truth, why don't you believe ?" Shijia said helplessly, turning to Ye Qing nearby, "Hey, Young Ye, do you believe ?"
Ye Qing turned his head aside, just like Corpse Ghost Dragon, not believing Shijia's words at all.
"Forget it, you people are impossible to talk to." Shijia waved his hand, saying, "If you can't do it yourself, you think no one in the world can. You're a fool, so you expect the whole world to be idiots too. Purely a ntality of social revenge."
"I believe in Senior Brother's words." The Wolf Monk suddenly spoke, "Senior Brother is a natural talent; I witnessed it early on. Any martial arts of the Buddhist Sect cos naturally to him. All secret manuals, after reading once, he doesn't even need to practice to perform them. For Senior Brother to train in martial arts, the difficulty of any technique isn't an issue at all—the biggest issue is whether he wants to practice. For any martial arts, as long as Senior Brother wants to practice, he can master it in the shortest ti!"
The crowd looked at the Wolf Monk; initially, none believed Shijia's words, but now with just one statent from the Wolf Monk, doubts began to surface in everyone's hearts. Could Shijia be telling the truth? Though Shijia might be disrespectful, his words might sound incredulous. However, the Wolf Monk was an honest person; his words bore no falsehood.
"A prodigious talent?" The Corpse Ghost Dragon sneered, saying, "In this world, strength is revered. Even if you're a genius, without power, you'll still die by my hands today. Shijia, do you really think that mastering the Vajra Indestructible Body can stop ? Don't forget, I've been in the Demon Hideout Cave for so many years, and I've learned quite a few martial arts from the Demon Sect. To others, your Vajra Indestructible Body may be unbreakable, but to , it poses no challenge at all!"
As Corpse Ghost Dragon spoke, he slowly stepped forward, raising his hands gradually from both sides, and emitted a series of low chants. The sound seed to possess infinite magical power, captivating everyone around the mont it started. Except for Ye Qing and Huangfu Ziyu, the expressions of the others gradually changed, as if their emotions were being swayed by the sound.
"Everyone, be careful, this is the Demon Sect's Heart Demon Technique!" Shijia yelled, but it was already too late. Even strong figures like Helian Tiehua and the masked elder Shen Tianjun seed to be under the control of the sound, showing no reaction to Shijia's shout and instead began to slowly move forward.
Corpse Ghost Dragon's face was full of a cold smile, continuously chanting, while seizing the opportunity to rush towards Shijia. With a rub of his hands, he suddenly released a fla, which directly hit Shijia on the body.
Originally intending to wake those controlled by the sound, Shijia found himself blocked by Corpse Ghost Dragon's sudden attack. The impact of the fla caused Shijia to frown slightly, showing that it was painful, no longer sothing he could easily endure as before.
Shijia hurriedly shouted a couple of tis, but the power of Corpse Ghost Dragon's Heart Demon Technique was not weak, rendering him unable to wake the others. Moreover, Corpse Ghost Dragon's fierce attacks kept Shijia at bay, making it impossible for him to free himself to awaken those around him, plunging the situation into a crisis. The nearby peak masters slowly advanced, approaching the two in combat. With Corpse Ghost Dragon's strength, if they got close, he could easily kill them with a single move!
Ye Qing and Huangfu Ziyu were in relatively good condition, having consud the Devouring Demon Flower, which gave them so resistance to the Demon Sect's techniques. The Heart Demon Technique of Corpse Ghost Dragon had no effect on them whatsoever.
Seeing the situation, the two of them knew very well that if those people entered the battlefield, it would be too late. So, they exchanged a glance, simultaneously grabbing a chair from the side and smashed it forcefully against the nearby window.
The glass on the window was shattered by the forceful blow, with the sound of the breaking glass and the chairs hitting the window fra being quite loud, surprisingly drowning out Corpse Ghost Dragon's low chants.
Corpse Ghost Dragon had assud that everyone was under the control of his Heart Demon Technique and had not paid any attention to the situation nearby. While Shijia was tangled in combat with Corpse Ghost Dragon, he also did not notice the actions of Ye Qing and Huangfu Ziyu. The sudden sharp sound startled both of them, even causing Corpse Ghost Dragon to pause his chanting montarily.
This sound also gave a jolt to those originally controlled by the sound, allowing them to snap back to clarity almost simultaneously.
"What happened?"
"What just happened?"
Soone whispered softly, while strong figures like Shen Tianjun seed to have already guessed what had transpired. Everyone collectively retreated, warily watching Corpse Ghost Dragon, not daring to relax in the slightest.
"You two..." Corpse Ghost Dragon sharply turned his gaze towards Ye Qing and Huangfu Ziyu, gritting his teeth in anger, "How have you not been controlled by my Heart Demon Technique?"
Ye Qing and Huangfu Ziyu were, of course, unaware that it was due to the Devouring Demon Flower, while Shijia laughed heartily, saying, "Old monster, you haven't even fully mastered that Heart Demon Technique and you dare to flaunt it? Ye Qing and Huangfu Ziyu have both been to the Demon Hideout Cave; the Heart Demon Great Array left by the Great Demon King is way beyond your technique's power, and yet they still passed through it. Do you think your Heart Demon Technique could control them?"
Corpse Ghost Dragon ground his teeth; he could only attribute it to this reason, as he was unaware of the Devouring Demon Flower's effects. Having spent so much ti in the Demon Hideout Cave, he didn't even know the Devouring Demon Flower could be consud.
"Hmph, even if you can break free from the Heart Demon Technique's control, so what!" Corpse Ghost Dragon roared in anger, "Shijia, you should know what martial arts I'm using. Demon Fire Burns the Body, Karma Infusion, it's enough to break your Vajra Indestructible Body. Shijia, your cultivation power is strong. Absorbing your strength, I can at least restore twenty percent of my power. Absorbing the strength of these people will restore seventy percent of my power. Who in the world can contend with then!"
