Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 168 A New Battle

Qin Xiaochuan saw that Fa Yan had opened his eyes and that the four men beside him were preparing to attack Xiao Yi. He then said to Xiao Yi on the boulder, "That monk is just the one who counters you, so I'll deal with him. You and Shi Yi will deal with the other four."

Xiao Yi looked up at him and said, "Ordinary attacks probably won't have much effect on him unless you can use that skill."

Qin Xiaochuan knew he was referring to the Samadhi True Fire skill, so he nodded and said, "I know."

The two sides got into fighting stances, but before they could start fighting, there was a sudden rustling in the bushes, and three men burst in from the woods.

Qin Xiaochuan saw the badges on their bodies and knew they were all demon hunters, presumably there to hunt down Mo Yu. Qin Xiaochuan noticed that one of them had a level 7 spiritual power and the other two had level 6 spiritual power, making their lineup incredibly strong. He couldn't help but worry about Mo Yu.

When the three men saw the group on the hillside, they were momentarily stunned. However, they clearly didn't want to cause any trouble. The one with the level 7 spiritual power and a scar on his left cheek was obviously the leader. He asked, "We are demon hunters hunting down the traitor—Mo Yu. Have you seen any trace of him?"

Qin Xiaochuan didn't want to answer, but Fa Yan on the other side said, "He was just here, and then he left from that direction." The monk pointed in the direction Mo Yu had left.

The leader glanced at the group again, said "Thank you," and waved his hand before leading two other people to chase after them.

As soon as the three left, the four men next to Fa Yan immediately launched an attack. The giant centipede quickly rushed forward, while Guo Shiyi assisted it from the side.

Fa Yan didn't rush to make a move. He looked at Qin Xiaochuan and said, "It seems I need to defeat you first."

"This is a wise choice," Qin Xiaochuan said coldly.

Fayan held one hand in front of his chest and recited, "Amitabha." After he finished reciting the Buddha's name, the prayer beads on his left hand suddenly shone brightly with golden light and began to spin continuously on his wrist. As he continued to chant, the prayer beads spun faster and faster.

Qin Xiaochuan activated all his buffs and was concentrating on dealing with the situation when he saw beams of golden light shooting from his opponent's wrist.

Qin Xiaochuan moved, easily dodging several golden lights with the speed boost from the Swiftness Technique. However, the golden lights seemed to be endless and becoming increasingly dense. Qin Xiaochuan quickly cast a spell to release a Xuanwu Shield in front of him, and at the same time, he quickly made a hand seal to release his first attack skill - Meteor Fire Rain.

Flames fell from the sky like raindrops, and suddenly a golden light rose from Fa Yan's body, forming a protective shield that completely blocked all the fire rain.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Qin Xiaochuan quickly focused his mind and controlled his spiritual power. A bluish-white flame rose up in front of him. Upon seeing this, Fa Yan's expression turned slightly grim. He pointed forward with his left hand and released the same skill from yesterday—One Finger Vajra.

Qin Xiaochuan knew this skill was powerful, so he didn't dare to be careless. He didn't even have time to gather the Samadhi True Fire. He immediately changed his move, mobilizing the level 8 spiritual power in his body. A spiral cone-shaped flame shot out and collided with the golden figure.

With a loud "bang," the flames and the figure vanished into thin air.

Seeing this, Fa Yan drew circles in the air with his hands and shouted, "Arhat Divine Skill!" Instantly, a strong wind arose, drawing countless pieces of soil, stones, and withered leaves into the air, forming a whirlwind that rushed towards Qin Xiaochuan. Qin Xiaochuan felt an immense pressure coming towards him, and soon the whirlwind surrounded him completely, with countless figures seemingly flashing within it.

Qin Xiaochuan thought to himself, "This is bad," and immediately four walls of fire formed in front of him.

Amidst the whirlwind, figures attacked him relentlessly from all directions through the wall of fire. Qin Xiaochuan had no choice but to activate the level eight spiritual power within his witch ring, allowing the Qilin Armor to materialize on his body and withstand the attacks one after another.

Although he temporarily blocked the attack, Qin Xiaochuan was also trapped in the whirlwind. Fa Yan did not expect Qin Xiaochuan to be so tenacious. He immediately activated his spiritual power, and the rosary in his hand suddenly broke. A rosary bead flashing with golden light spun in front of him and then shot towards Qin Xiaochuan one by one.

Although Qin Xiaochuan was trapped in the whirlwind, he could still see the changes in Fa Yan's spiritual power using his Heavenly Eye. The spiritual power on those prayer beads was pure and profound, even surpassing that of the One-Finger Vajra. Clearly, Fa Yan had used a powerful move in order to defeat him quickly.

Qin Xiaochuan was already struggling to cope with the continuous attacks from the whirlwind. If he let those prayer beads crash into him, he would definitely suffer a loss. With a thought, he activated the spiritual power within his witch ring and released another A-level skill.

"Blazing Flames!" Qin Xiaochuan shouted, and a powerful flame was released from him. The huge impact of the flame instantly dispersed the whirlwind, and Qin Xiaochuan shot out like a cannonball.

But the prayer beads seemed to have eyes; as soon as Qin Xiaochuan moved, they all changed direction and stared intently at him.

As Qin Xiaochuan ran, he unleashed several bursts of Flame Dance to dissipate most of the spiritual power on the prayer beads before raising the Xuanwu Shield to meet the prayer beads that were following closely behind.

"Bang bang bang." Explosions rang out from the Xuanwu Shield. Qin Xiaochuan continuously released spiritual power to keep the Xuanwu Shield from dissipating. Although most of the spiritual power of the prayer beads had been neutralized, the huge impact force still made Qin Xiaochuan retreat step by step.

After this short battle, Qin Xiaochuan's spiritual power had been depleted by 30%, not counting the spiritual power he used with the witch's ring. At the same time, Qin Xiaochuan also realized that if he attacked from a distance, he could only passively defend and would have no chance to condense the Samadhi True Fire to release higher-level skills.

Thinking of this, he cast another Swiftness spell on himself and rushed towards Fa Yan, while simultaneously unleashing several more Fireballs at the opponent.

The swastika reappeared in front of Fa Yan. It seemed to have a vortex, and the fire-shooting spells that hit it all spun and disappeared. But Qin Xiaochuan also arrived in front of Fa Yan at this time and immediately punched the swastika.

"Blood Surge!" Qin Xiaochuan shouted, and the swastika symbol broke open in response. But before Qin Xiaochuan could even rejoice, a surge of flames containing spiritual power suddenly attacked him. Before Qin Xiaochuan could react, he was blasted away by the force of the attack.

Qin Xiaochuan felt his blood surging and his chest tightness and discomfort. Before he could catch his breath, Fa Yan attacked with another One Finger Vajra. Qin Xiaochuan quickly released a skill to defend against it.

As the fight progressed, Qin Xiaochuan gradually figured out his opponent's strengths and weaknesses. It was clear that the opponent's "卍" symbol could not only absorb skills but also reflect damage and launch ranged attacks, but it was just a waste of spiritual energy. After calming his internal energy and blood, he once again used the Swiftness Technique to rush towards his opponent.

"Bang bang bang." Qin Xiaochuan threw more than a dozen punches at Fa Yan, but they were all blocked by the "卍" in front of Fa Yan. As a result, neither ranged skills nor close-range attacks could really hurt the opponent, and Qin Xiaochuan was once again in a passive defensive state.

"Is that all you've got? You seem to be nothing special. Where do you get the audacity to stand up for others?" Fa Yan mocked from the side. Throughout the battle, he remained calm and composed, and apart from expending some spiritual energy, he was never at a disadvantage for a moment.

"Ordinary attacks probably won't have much effect on him unless you can use that skill." Qin Xiaochuan remembered Xiao Yi's words, but his movements were restricted by the Fa Yan skill, making it really difficult to concentrate his mind and condense the Samadhi True Fire.

While defending against Fa Yan's attacks, Qin Xiaochuan carefully sensed the changes in the spiritual energy within his body. As he punched a golden light that attacked him, he suddenly felt the spiritual energy within his body being released along with the force of his punch. Feeling this change, he couldn't help but be extremely excited. Thinking of the skill "Blood Surge", he suddenly had a bold idea.

Qin Xiaochuan continued to passively defend against Fa Yan's attacks, trying his best to block the skills with his fists, and further sensing the changes in the spiritual power in his body. After about ten minutes, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he rushed to the monk like an arrow, leaping into the air.

"Blazing Fist!" Qin Xiaochuan shouted, slamming the swastika in front of Fa Yan from above.

As before, the swastika blocked his attack. Qin Xiaochuan saw a hint of disdain flash in the other's eyes, which instantly turned into horror, because a bluish-white flame actually passed through the swastika barrier and rushed straight to him.

"Bang!" Fa Yan was sent flying, and when he crashed to the ground, a trickle of blood flowed from his body. You must know that Qin Xiaochuan's Samadhi True Fire directly passed through his defenses this time, and the change was so sudden that he didn't even have time to mobilize his spiritual power to resist. He was caught off guard and was seriously injured.

"You've lost. Do you still want to continue?" Qin Xiaochuan said coldly.

Fa Yan glared angrily at Qin Xiaochuan, but the surging blood and qi within him rendered him speechless. Just then, his phone rang. He tried to calm himself before answering the call. He didn't know what the other person said, but his expression changed, and he seemed somewhat discouraged. After giving a few replies, he hung up.

Suddenly, a golden light shot out from his fingertips, rushing towards Guo Shiyi and the others. Qin Xiaochuan was taken aback and was about to stop him when he heard the monk say, "Stop."

The four men with him immediately withdrew from the fight and returned to his side, and Guo Shiyi did not pursue them.

"The mission is canceled." Fa Yan said calmly to the four of them, then glanced at Qin Xiaochuan and said coldly, "I underestimated you this time. I'll have to learn from you again when I have the chance."

"I'm ready anytime," Qin Xiaochuan said nonchalantly, as if he were in the martial arts world again, ready to fight once more.

"I'm ready anytime," Qin Xiaochuan said nonchalantly, as if he were in the martial arts world again, ready to fight once more.

"Hey, this feels really cool." Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but beam with joy. Fa Yan, seeing this, thought he was being disregarded, so he let out an angry snort, then turned and walked out of the woods.
