Chapter 164: Chapter 152: Martial Cultivator vs Taoist Cultivator, Who Will Win?_5 Chapter 164: Chapter 152: Martial Cultivator vs Taoist Cultivator, Who Will Win?_5 “Are you two really going to fight to the death? If not, disperse now!”

“We must fight to the death!”

Although Xie Wenren was wary of Mahaparinirvana’s background, he had no choice but to proceed, the arrow was already on the string and he had to shoot. Because he boasted to Cen Wenjin and made those outrageous statements, he couldn’t just return without accomplishing anything. If Cen Wenjin saw his master and reported Xie’s shameful behavior that brought disgrace to his sect, it would be even harder for him to get by in the Flame Cloud Sect. Therefore, Xie couldn’t simply kill Mahaparinirvana today, but at the very least he had to defeat him!

“I’m going to kill him and use his heart and liver to accompany my drink!”

Mahaparinirvana barked through clenched teeth.

“This monk is full of murderous intent! Truly a living bandit!”

Upon hearing this, the four Night Travelers looked solemn as they admonished Xie Wenren and Mahaparinirvana:

“The Emperor issued a decree years ago stipulating that any outsiders who fight to the death within Chang’an City must abide by the following rules: First, do not damage houses; second, regardless of victory or defeat, life or death, do not involve respective sects; third, during the fight, do not fly higher than thirty meters, not surpassing the height of the Imperial Palace walls; fourth, the fight must take place within the space where the four of us are present; fifth, resolve the fight within the time of one incense stick, and if the time is exceeded, stop immediately—don’t fight again for a month. If you violate any of these rules, regardless of background, you will be arrested. Have the two of you understood?”

“So the Emperor is afraid of outsiders fighting and causing a massacre in Chang’an, killing the innocent and disturbing the people, which is why The Night Traveler’s Bureau is overseeing this. I was wondering why there are many experts hidden in Chang’an but never saw any flying with Sword Control; turns out there are such regulations.”

Li Ping’an immediately understood. He had previously planned to assist from the shadows if his brother Mahaparinirvana was at a disadvantage fighting Xie Wenren, like last time when he attacked Cen Fuda. But now, he could only quietly cheer for Mahaparinirvana in his heart.

“Thank you for informing us, dear brothers of the Taoist sects!”

The people from The Night Traveler’s Bureau were all outstanding individuals chosen from Taoist sects all over the world, so naturally, Xie Wenren felt extremely close and respectful to them, bowing to each one in thanks.

“Stop the nonsense!”

Mahaparinirvana, however, was not so agreeable and shouted a retort before immediately throwing a punch.

“You bald donkey are so uncouth; today, I will let you experience the methods of the Taoist sect!”

Xie Wenren cursed and before he even moved, Mahaparinirvana’s iron fist was already bearing down on him. Thus, the two began fighting with their fists and feet, testing each other’s ability.

“Guys, since we’re here watching the show, why not make it more interesting?”

“What do you mean?”

“Let’s make a small bet on who wins between the two of them.”

“Alright, alright, count me in!”

Immediately, five patrons set up a betting pool, and even the owner of Drunken Immortal Residence joined in. The current odds were fifty-fifty.

Li Ping’an wanted to bet too, thinking of saving some money on this expensive meal, but being always cautious, he discreetly used his Divine Power: Insight into the Hidden to evaluate Xie Wenren:

Xie Wenren, Clay Figure Realm 70%, Strength: 300, Mana: 300, Defense: 565

Critical Hit Rate: 0%, Critical Hit Combo: 0%, Damage Bonus: 10%, Damage Reduction: 20%

Four Disasters Resistance:

Cold Immunity: 0%, Fire Immunity: 20%, Poison Immunity: 0%, Lightning Immunity: 0%

“He’s just a piece of trash at the Clay Figure Realm!”

Li Ping’an first sneered contemptuously and then, feeling surprised, said:

How strange! Why is this guy’s Four Calamities Resistance – Fire Resistant so high? It must be related to his sect’s Cultivation Methods at the Flame Cloud Sect, but how could his damage bonus and damage reduction possibly be much higher than mine? It doesn’t make sense!

Meanwhile, the fight between Xie Wenren and Mahaparinirvana was in full swing. Despite his large size, Mahaparinirvana moved incredibly fast, often striking preemptively. Although Xie Wenren reacted a step slower, he relied on his agile movements to entangle with his opponent. In terms of combat, they were evenly matched for a while!

“Good lad, I’m getting more and more excited, Arhat Fist!”

Mahaparinirvana just had a satisfying meal and was energetic enough to play around with Xie Wenren. Seeing that he couldn’t defeat him in short order, he began to use some techniques.

Suddenly changing his moves, Xie Wenren was caught off guard and immediately put up his fists to block. His small fists met Mahaparinirvana’s iron punches, and those around them only heard a loud bang as both were simultaneously forced to retreat several steps.

Apart from the four Night Travelers, the entire scene was filled with astonishment.

Xie Wenren stared at Mahaparinirvana’s fists in surprise:

This wild monk has such great strength; no wonder he was able to knock down six Idle Followers with one punch and then break Official Cen’s leg bones. If it weren’t for my Life-bound Magical Instrument, my arms would have almost been crippled by this barbaric brute!

Mahaparinirvana also focused on Xie Wenren’s body, internally shocked:

How can this wretched man, whose waist isn’t even as thick as my thigh, withstand a punch from me with the Arhat Fist and not die? And yet he could produce such a powerful force to rebound on me? Truly strange! Truly strange indeed!
