CHAPTER 119: CHAPTER 119: FIERCE (PLEASE SUBSCRIBE~)

Facing the fierce hammer, Lu Ren showed no intention of retreating at all. The recovery and durability effects of the Phoenix Falcon Fist allowed him to quickly return to normal from an abnormal physical state, even the fractured bone from the previous clash with Tie Feng quickly healed after the Lamp of Freedom.

He raised both hands and adopted the Overlord Carrying the Cauldron stance again, although this adjusted stance was slightly different from before.

Bang!

The muscles in his arms instantly swelled and bulged, his hands, under extreme blood flow, expanded a size larger.

Boom!

The fists collided fiercely, emitting an extremely muffled sound. The terrifying power transmitted from above carried a shock force that spread rapidly from Lu Ren’s arms, to his shoulders, torso, legs, and finally into the ground from his feet.

Thud! Thud!!

Under this high-frequency tremor, the place where Lu Ren’s feet stepped seemed as if explosives were buried, sending dirt and stones flying as the ground cracked.

Even with Lu Ren’s current physique, responding with accurate techniques to dissipate the force precisely, he still entered a slight stiff state.

This dramatic scene possessed an intense visual impact, even the nearby Ksitigarbha looked somewhat dazed.

He never imagined Lu Ren would dare to use his body to confront Subodhi head-on. In such a stance, Lu Ren managed to fight a fist technique master at the Great Perfection level without having achieved Great Perfection of Fist Technique himself.

Subodhi let out a low roar, rotated his body with the waist as an axis, and swung his fists like swinging a pair of thousand-pound hammers, one blow after another without a moment’s pause.

The Chain Hammer Technique was indeed open and grand, unstoppable like a storm!

Lu Ren’s expression remained unchanged. After the second punch, he understood that his current physique couldn’t compare with the monstrous Subodhi. If he kept going head-to-head, he would end up being hammered to death!

But he had his own advantages.

At this moment, Lu Ren was indeed like an agile falcon, weaving through the storm. His super high agility allowed him to easily avoid the hammering attacks falling like rain.

Finally, Lu Ren seized an opportunity, tapped his feet, sending dirt and stones splattering. After dodging a punch, his body charged toward Subodhi’s chest, and with a drop of his elbow, the powerful impact forced Subodhi’s large physique to step back.

The so-called cultivation of the Buddhist and Taoist paths often advocated borrowing false to true cultivation. The countless Immortal Gods in heaven, the Taoist family’s ten thousand spirits, the Buddhist sect’s myriad Arhats, strictly speaking, these were powers bestowed by humans onto Immortal Gods.

Yet they could inspire immense spiritual power in humans.

Seizing this opportunity in an instant, Ksitigarbha swiftly captured Subodhi’s opening. As he brought his hands together, the flame burning in the skull ignited, spreading over the golden skeleton.

To a regular person without spiritual meditation cultivation, Ksitigarbha’s golden skeleton would appear sacred and solemn at this moment.

In Lu Ren’s eyes, as the Spiritual Lamp illuminated, a golden Buddha phantasm appeared over Ksitigarbha’s golden skeleton.

"Om!!"

A Buddhist chant resonated in Lu Ren’s heart, and under the Buddha Light cast by this voice, Subodhi’s massive body froze for three seconds.

Three seconds may pass unnoticed by regular people, but to a super martial artist, many things could be accomplished in that time. A Great Perfectionist of Fist Technique could cross a hundred meters, and Lu Ren, under extreme conditions, could throw over three hundred punches, churn the air, and execute an Air Cannon Fist.

"It’s you again!! Ksitigarbha!!!"

Provoked by Ksitigarbha, Subodhi’s mental state underwent tremendous change.

His eyes turned a dark red, emitting an eerie glow, hair standing on end, muscles bulging like serpents, protruding bone spurs appeared even more vicious.

Like Asura descending, a demon arriving on earth.

The aura he emitted affected even the dust around him at that moment, spreading like ripples.

"He has become a Demon Buddha! Quickly eliminate this corporeal body!!"

Ksitigarbha spoke arduously. The mental attacks were far more perilous than physical ones!

"What is Buddha, what is demon? Ksitigarbha, you are still so foolish. No wonder Shakyamuni said you could never become Buddha and only have a grand vow as spiritual sustenance."

Subodhi articulated each word, though his body couldn’t move and changed dramatically, his mind remained unexpectedly calm. This was a bizarre paradox: physical chaos fueled desires but didn’t affect the spirit.

Rather, it fell into a state where Buddha’s peace and demonic energy intertwined.

This fusion of two extremes made Lu Ren feel extremely uncomfortable.

Ksitigarbha wasn’t affected at all; he needed to secure these three seconds for Lu Ren. If missed, he could no longer restrain Subodhi. If forced again, his spirit would suffer severe and irreversible damage.

Perhaps he’d cease to maintain his Qi and ultimately dissipate completely.

Momentarily setting aside the system’s incessant notifications of skill level improvement in his mind, Lu Ren remained perfectly calm. His arms slightly spread, his hips and legs opened sideways and sank slightly. His body suddenly underwent significant changes at this moment; illuminated by the Lamp of Freedom, his blood ignited like fuel, seeming to blaze suddenly, and the distinct muscle lines bulged, resembling rocks embedded in a sculpture.

The slight accomplishment stage of the Lamp of Freedom Observation created special effects of body-mind resonance, temporarily liberating his physique.

Whoosh!

Lu Ren’s right hand became a knife, thrusting toward Subodhi’s abdomen like a Phoenix Beak, akin to an eagle diving to hunt on the ground, like a Divine Bird flapping its wings soaring through the sky, then diving down from the heavens, with its beak capable of piercing the earth!

Ssss!!

The hand knife sliced through the air, vaguely covered with white airflow.

Subodhi’s rock-like physique was deeply penetrated by Lu Ren’s hand knife, embedding into his upper arm.

This strike with the knife directly pierced through Subodhi’s resilient body!

Lu Ren showed no pause, and as his hand penetrated Subodhi’s body, he slightly pushed himself, soaring like a Sky-reaching Cannon, executing the third kill move of the Phoenix Falcon Fist, Falcon Soaring Nine Heavens, straight into the clouds!

Dive and Step on the Void, Phoenix Beak Killing Fist!

Bang!!

Subodhi’s jaw shattered under Lu Ren’s full-powered punch, his head snapping back, but Lu Ren didn’t cease. His body maintained its upward momentum, twisting his waist and swinging his arms in mid-air!

Pow!

Subodhi’s enormous forehead was precisely pecked open by Lu Ren’s critical blow, creating a hole that turned his brain matter into pulp with the Ultimate Attack and Kill Fist Form.
