Chapter 354

"Return it to me, or I'll refine you alive."

The monk roared and activated the bell. Golden light flashed and runes flowed. Many monks appeared on the bell. They looked solemn and seemed to be chanting sutras.

He felt aggrieved. He had been chased by the assassins of the Assassin Pavilion for a long time. It was only when the Assassin Pavilion was destroyed that the chase came to an end.

Killing Yu Kong in the battle that day was a misunderstanding. However, he had helped Zi Chen. Who would have thought that Zi Chen did not have any good intentions and had given him an empty Spiritual Ring? That had caused him to be in trouble.

Moreover, Zi Chen had joined forces with others to snatch his things back at Yongqi City.

The monk felt aggrieved at the thought of this. He did not hold back at all.

Clang!

The bell rang and Zi Chen was trapped. Golden light flashed on the bell and chanting could be heard. Many old monks were chanting sutras and golden light flowed.

Everyone was dumbfounded. This monk was too strong, wasn't he? He actually took away the arrogant Zi Chen so easily.

"Return it to me!" The monk roared.

Chanting could be heard continuously. Runes flowed and the old monks were chanting sutras. Golden light rushed into the bell.

Clang! Clang!

The bell rang again. It was ear-piercing and golden ripples could be seen. Zi Chen was trying his best to break the bell.

The bell vibrated and the runes on its surface dimmed. Even the old monks in it became illusory.

Clang!

The bell vibrated again and the world shook as if it was going to soar into the sky.

"Amitabha."

The monk sat cross-legged in the air. He chanted Buddha's name and golden light flowed on his body. He started to control the bell to refine Zi Chen.

The bell rang and the chanting could be heard. The runes and the old monks became clear as a strange energy surged.

The group of monstrous geniuses were dumbfounded. The bell was only a spirit weapon, but Zi Chen did not shatter it.

"Should we go up?" Liu Bo asked with worry in his eyes. He was afraid that Evil Good and Evil Good would really refine Zi Chen.

"No need." Wang Qiong shook his head, indicating that he would wait and see.

"Boom!"

With a loud rumble, the great bell trembled once again. Streaks of destructive golden light shot out in all directions.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Within the bell, Zi Chen exerted his full strength. His golden blood aura surged as he unleashed a series of powerful attacks. Outside, the bell trembled continuously. The old monk and the runes quickly dimmed.

Clang.

The final sound caused the heaven and earth to tremble. The entire bell soared into the sky. The old monk and the runes all disappeared, and Zi Chen appeared.

"You damned monk," Zi Chen roared. He was so angry that his hair stood on end. He rushed forward and waved his golden fist towards the monk.

"Amitabha." The monk's expression was dignified. He didn't dodge or evade and pushed out a palm that carried endless golden light.

"Clang." Like the sound of metal clashing, it brought about a huge vibration. The two of them retreated one after the other.

After that, he quickly rushed forward.

The two of them were very fast, like two streaks of golden light. Other than flying in the air, no one could see the two of them clearly.

Zi Chen's fist could break and destroy everything. Even the spiritual weapon was shattered. However, it couldn't do anything to the monk, nor did it break the monk's spiritual weapon.

From this, it could be seen that the monk was extraordinary.

"Extreme Yin."

Zi Chen was going all out. He formed a seal with his hand and unleashed a terrifying attack. A dazzling golden light rushed towards the monk.

"Amitabha."

The monk chanted the name of Buddha. His expression was dignified. A golden light shield appeared around his body. Runes flickered as the Buddhist Protective Divine Art reappeared.

"Boom!"

The monk's strong defense allowed him to block the attack. However, he was sent flying by Zi Chen for several miles. Soon, he turned into a ray of light and flew back.

"Ma."

He opened his mouth and shouted. The Buddhist Six Syllables appeared with a strange fluctuation that entered one's soul. At this moment, many cultivators screamed. Their eyes were filled with fear as if they saw a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. They fell into panic.

"Peng!"

Zi Chen was also stunned for a moment. His spirit was impacted, and Tyrant seized the opportunity to send him flying with a palm strike.

"Give me back my things and I'll let you go today." The monk stood in the air with a dignified expression. However, when he spoke, he looked like a merchant.

"Damn monk, let's see who's the one who won't let go." Zi Chen turned into a ray of golden light and rushed back. Then, he attacked the monk with extreme speed.

The sky shook and a large amount of golden light scattered. The two were locked in a fierce battle.

The surrounding people were extremely shocked. The two's combat strength was abnormally terrifying. The monk was indeed powerful and awe-inspiring.

However, the most terrifying one was Zi Chen. One had to know that he was only at the Ninth Sky of True Essence. Once he broke through to the Zephyr Realm, wouldn't he be invincible in the world? Who would dare to provoke him?

"Boom!"

The more the two fought, the more courageous they became. They fought faster and faster, causing the world to tremble. In the blink of an eye, thousands of moves had passed. Moreover, they had no intention of stopping.

"Let's separate them. Let's talk about business first." Wang Qiong's eyes flashed as he suddenly said.

Obviously, he already knew that the two would not be able to determine the winner in a short time.

"Alright." Wu Mo also nodded his head. However, at this moment, his lazy face appeared extremely solemn.

"Stop!"

The two shouted and turned into two rays of light. Wang Qiong rushed towards the monk while Wu Mo rushed towards Zi Chen.

"Stop. Let's talk nicely."

While they were talking, the two blocked in front of them. However, they obviously had to take a blow from the two.

"Boom!"

The monk threw out a powerful palm that flashed with endless light. It rushed towards Wang Qiong. This was the Mighty Vajra Palm, which carried endless power. Wang Qiong's body flashed with green light. He stood in the air and blocked the attack.

Surging energy swept out, wreaking havoc. However, Wang Qiong did not take a single step back. His body glowed with a brilliant green light as he forcefully blocked this attack.

The crowd was in an uproar. Wang Qiong rarely fought. This was the first time he fought in front of everyone. They did not expect him to have such strength. He blocked the monk's attack.

Peng!

At this moment, Zi Chen's fist collided with Wu Mo's palm. In a loud sound, Zi Chen flew back. Wu Mo also flew back in the air.

In between the two, a terrifying energy ripple spread out in all directions.

Both sides retreated. There was not much difference.

The crowd was shocked. They thought that Zi Chen and the monk were the strongest among the monstrous geniuses. They did not expect Wang Qiong and Wu Mo to block the two's attack.

The other monstrous geniuses were also shocked.

"You are indeed Zi Chen. You are indeed powerful. You managed to injure me with just one blow." Wu Mo smiled as he shook his hands and resumed his lazy demeanor.

"Alright, stop fighting." Wang Qiong said as he landed from the sky.

"That's right. Everyone, stop."

Liu Bo, Liu Chen and the others also came forward. They looked at Zi Chen with smiles.

With the appearance of so many monstrous geniuses, the monk also stopped and returned to normal. The golden light around him retracted. He became unusually merciful and descended from the sky.

Zi Chen snorted coldly, but stopped as well.

The few monstrous geniuses who fainted had also woken up. They stood in the distance and stared at Zi Chen with hatred.

In addition, there were even more people who flew in the sky. It was simply a gathering.

"Zi Chen, congratulations on becoming stronger." Liu Bo came forward with a smile.

"I should be the one congratulating you. You've become a Zephyr." Zi Chen smiled.

Then, the others came forward and greeted him.

"How's Lin Xue?" Liu Chen of the Liu Family came forward. Before he could speak, Zi Chen asked.

"She's doing well. She's been working hard on her cultivation." Liu Chen said.

Two years ago, the head of the Liu Family, Liu Chen's father, took Lin Xue as his adopted daughter. Lin Xue stayed in the Liu Family and cultivated in seclusion. Although her strength had improved by leaps and bounds, she was still one step away from becoming a Zephyr.

"Zi Chen."

Zhang Haotian came forward. When he saw Zi Chen, he was very excited. Two years ago, Zi Chen left alone and didn't come with them.

"How are you and Lv Peng?"

"Yeah." Zhang Haotian nodded.

Then, the two monstrous geniuses of the Qin Family came forward. The older one was called Qin Xing and the younger one was called Qin He.

"So many of you gathered here. You're not just here to watch a battle, right?" Zi Chen looked at the monstrous geniuses.

"Of course not. We're here for business."

"What business?" Zi Chen turned his head and asked curiously.

Zhang Haotian shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. He was only here to participate in the battle.

"First, we can't let this land of dead silence develop. That's why we're here. Of course, this is just a side trip. The most important thing is to decide whether to stay or leave." This time, it was Wu Mo who spoke.

"Stay or leave?" Zi Chen was stunned.

"That's right."

Wu Mo nodded and said, "There's an unwritten rule among the major forces. After the monstrous geniuses of the family break through to the Zephyr Realm, they can go out and see the real Southern Region."

"What do you mean? Is this not the Southern Region?" Zi Chen asked curiously.

"Of course not."

Wu Mo smiled and said, "This is just a small place. How can it be compared to the vast Southern Region? This is just a small area in the Southern Region. It's not even one ten-thousandth of the Southern Region. Without the Zephyr Realm, it's impossible to leave this place."

Zi Chen was shocked.

For him, the area of influence of the seven major cities and three major sects was big enough. So far, he had only been to a few major cities. He couldn't imagine how big the entire Southern Region was.

However, Su Long had said something similar before. It was better not to go out before reaching the Zephyr Realm.

"Then among your forces, there are monstrous geniuses of each generation who go out to explore. You must know a lot about the forces outside. How strong are they?" Zhang Haotian asked. Obviously, he was very curious about the outside world.

Reaching the Zephyr Realm was almost the peak of this region. No one could do anything to them except for Grandmasters. Before Zi Chen appeared, the Zephyr Realm had not been killed for many years.

Zhang Haotian's words made the monstrous geniuses of the major forces change their expressions. They said bitterly, "The forces outside are very strong and there are many experts. Even if our monstrous geniuses go out, they will suffer heavy casualties. After so many years, there are too few who can come back alive. They only say that the outside world is very big and dangerous."

As soon as the news came out, everyone blushed with shame.

The monstrous geniuses of the major forces all had inherited killing skills and were very strong. If they went out, they would suffer heavy casualties. If they went out by Zephyr Realm, they would be slaughtered.

"Then are you guys here to discuss when to leave?" Zi Chen suddenly asked.

"No, there are many monstrous geniuses in this generation, and they broke through almost at the same time. Naturally, we have to leave. But before that, we have to go to the Saint Burial Ground."
