CHAPTER 1023: CHAPTER 1108: A BATTLE THAT SHAKES HEAVEN

Staring coldly at the Monk of Abstinence, the red-robed woman raised her hand and struck the ground. Instantly, amidst endless flames, Sword Qi unleashed by the Divine Sword pierced through Heaven and Earth, forming a sword net surging with Killing Aura, slashing towards the great monk.

The Monk of Abstinence’s expression slightly changed.

With a cold snort, he did not evade but charged forward instead.

A flash of gold glinted in his left hand, and a Golden Ancient Shield appeared, projecting a light screen that blocked the sword net’s assault.

At the same time, the great monk’s Zen Stick flew out from his other hand, striking towards the red-robed woman. She had no time to dodge and was hit on the chest, immediately sent tumbling mid-air, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Damn monk, you’ve truly enraged me!"

The red-robed woman shrieked fiercely, swiftly rushing atop the blazing red Divine Sword. From above, she slammed her palm onto the sword hilt, shouting, "Fiery Flame Battlefield!"

In an instant, Heaven and Earth trembled, the red Divine Sword vanished along with four surrounding Divine Fans. Thunderous sounds echoed in the sky as Primordial Giant Mountains appeared out of nowhere, fiery flames burning the sky, the ground a blood-stained crimson, forming an independent killing arena trapping the Monk of Abstinence within.

In the Fiery Flame Battlefield, giant peaks towered into the clouds, fiery Sword Light shot from the mountain peaks, killing towards the Monk of Abstinence.

The Monk of Abstinence hurriedly dodged, but after escaping the first ray of Sword Light, the second one followed closely. The surrounding mountains were all enveloped with Sword Qi, spewing Sword Light, leaving him nowhere to hide.

This killing arena, whether on ground or peak, surged with endless flames.

After evading the Sword Light from the peaks, the Monk of Abstinence plummeted to the ground, only to realize his grave mistake as the ground’s fiery temperature was terrifyingly high. As soon as he touched it, smoke rose from his soles.

Moreover, a Sword Light as thick as a mountain surged from the ground towards him.

The Monk of Abstinence was unable to escape, struck by the Sword Light on his body, ripping his robe apart, his body flying back, spewing a large mouthful of blood, while Sword Qi continued to unleash from the peaks, relentlessly moving to kill him.

The great monk wielded the Golden Ancient Shield in his left hand, and the Zen Stick in his right, fending off the Sword Qi, appearing extremely miserable.

"Bald donkey, your skills are far inferior to your senior brother’s!"

The red-robed woman, with surging Killing Aura, though female, exhibited unmatched combat power, red light bursting from her eyes, unleashing a Destructive Light aimed at the great monk.

"Clang!"

The great monk swung the Golden Ancient Shield to block, but at that moment, a Sword Light from the peak struck, slashing him hundreds of meters away, causing him to fall to the ground, engulfed by fiery flames and Sword Qi.

"Damned woman, this monk will not spare you!" The Monk of Abstinence spat out a mouthful of blood, shouted fiercely, and sat cross-legged in the void, with the Golden Ancient Shield and the Zen Stick guarding him against the surrounding Sword Qi.

"Sun and Moon Shining Together!"

The great monk’s shout resounded like thunder, his whole body glowing with intense golden light.

At the center of his brows, a "卍" Buddha Rune appeared, a dazzling beam shot out, aiming at the red-robed woman.

The red-robed woman’s face drastically changed, hurriedly dodging, but nonetheless a step slow, the Buddha Light shot over her head, scattering her hairdo, a wisp of black hair drifting down.

"Damn monk, you court death!"

The red-robed woman’s disheveled hair flailed as fiery red Divine Power surged in the air.

In her hands, flames roared, coalescing into a profound rune, which she hurled towards the ground.

"Bang!"

The entire killing arena violently shook, the attack power of the Fiery Flame Battlefield fully unleashed.

In an instant, Sword Qi crisscrossed Heaven and Earth, endless flames erupted from beneath the ground, enveloping the Monk of Abstinence, threatening to burn him to ashes.

After enduring over a dozen strands of Sword Qi, the Buddha Light on the great monk shattered, the "卍" Buddha Rune between his brows disappeared, he spat out blood, heavily injured.

But at this moment, the great monk came to a realization.

The Fiery Flame Battlefield seemed like a separate world without flaws, yet it had a fatal defect.

His eyes locked onto a peak at the center of the arena, surrounded by four smaller peaks, which should be the key to the entire battlefield—the red Divine Sword and the four Vermilion Bird Feather Fans.

"Damned woman, your Fiery Flame Battlefield is finished!"

The great monk, enduring over a dozen Sword Lights, dived down, enveloped in radiant golden light, landing a palm on the central peak.

The red-robed woman’s face changed dramatically, wanting to block, but it was already too late.

"Rumble..."

The great monk unleashed a Buddha Hand Seal, collapsing the peak.

The flames and Sword Qi between Heaven and Earth disappeared, the entire Fiery Flame Battlefield began to collapse, the red Divine Sword and the four Divine Fans emerged, the red-robed woman suffering from the battlefield’s backlash, spat blood, and flew backward with disheveled hair.

"Hand over the Storage Ring!"

The Monk of Abstinence opened the way with the Golden Ancient Shield, charging at the red-robed woman, wielding the Zen Stick.

"I didn’t expect you could break my Fiery Flame Battlefield, but this Ghost Grass, you won’t reclaim it!" The red-robed woman waved her hand, the four Feather Fans swirled to form a fiery red Divine Blade, combined with the red Divine Sword, attacking the monk.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The Zen Stick and Divine Sword clashed, Feather Fan Divine Sword and Golden Ancient Shield collided.

The sky trembled, unmatched energy storms spread in all directions, forcing Chen Nan to retreat three miles away to watch the battle, or he’d be shaken to death by the shockwaves of their Divine Power.

However, even then, both controlled their Divine Power, trying not to let the energy spread.

Otherwise, with their current cultivation techniques, if they fought with full force, dozens of miles around would be utterly destroyed.

After exchanging over a dozen strikes, the Monk of Abstinence was forced to retreat repeatedly, his true cultivation slightly weaker than the red-robed woman. It was mere luck that he broke her Fiery Flame Battlefield.

"Damn bald donkey, if you don’t get out of the way, I’ll seal you beneath this ground!"

The red-robed woman grew even more valiant in battle, resembling a burning furnace suspended in mid-air, her body emitting extremely dazzling fiery red light, the scorching heat igniting the forest below.

The great monk continued to retreat, coughing up blood.

But he wore a sinister smile of success.

At the moment when the red-robed woman attacked again, he waved his right hand, a black light shot out, forming a Nine-section Whip, striking towards the red-robed woman.

"God Beating Whip, how do you have the God Beating Whip!"

The red-robed woman was shocked, yet too late to dodge. The black God Beating Whip lashed down, heavily striking her chest, sending her flying several kilometers, spitting blood.
