Along with the light hum of Master Le Kong, the golden light at the center of his brow and the wooden fish resonated, erupting into ten thousand beams of golden light, clashing with the dense, chilling aura in the grand hall!

In the blink of an eye, the entire great hall was bathed in golden light.

Master Le Kong's figure was faintly visible in the golden light, his two white eyebrows floating, surrounded by indescribably mysterious halos.

Chen Tang, hiding in a corner of the great hall, shivered uncontrollably. Originally affected by the 'Profound Nether Vastness', he had just felt a chill that was then dispelled by the Buddha's light.

Even so, under the oppressive intent of the Grandmaster's true intent, he still could not move!

"Good!"

The Evil Emperor gave a light shout, and his figure suddenly floated up, standing mid-air.

His aura continuously escalated, and under the suppression of the Buddha's light, the Profound Nether True Intent not only did not diminish but grew even stronger, the chilling aura boundless and endless!

Chen Tang struggled to keep his eyes wide open.

Amidst the confrontation of 'Profound Nether Vastness' and 'Buddha's Radiant Light', his five senses were completely obscured.

His view was filled with chilling mist and dazzling golden light, making it impossible to see the figures of the Evil Emperor and Master Le Kong.

"So powerful!"

Chen Tang was secretly alarmed.

Master Le Kong can actually oppose the Evil Emperor head-on. Could he be from the Zen Sect, one of the Nine Great Sects?

When Chen Tang arrived at Xiping Temple, he saw this dilapidated temple and an aged, emaciated white-browed monk, never imagining that this would be one of the Nine Great Sects!

"I need to find a chance to hide further away!"

Chen Tang pondered in his mind.

In the battles between Grandmasters, it's easy for the unwary to get caught in the crossfire.

With his current cultivation, he simply couldn't protect himself.

Just now, because of the Evil Emperor's sudden attack, blocking the entrance of the great hall, Chen Tang had no way to retreat and could only hide in a corner at the back of the hall.

Now, under the shroud of the Grandmaster's intent, it was as if he had a mountain weighing down on him, unable to move at all.

"Crack!"

At this moment, a cracking sound suddenly echoed from the battlefield.

The Evil Emperor's voice resounded again: "Oh bald monk, so the Vajra Relic was hidden in your wooden fish!"

Even in the midst of the fierce battle, the Evil Emperor was still able to speak, seemingly having the upper hand over Master Le Kong.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a crack, as if something had shattered.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion erupted on the battlefield, deafening, causing the whole great hall to tremble, dust cascading from the surrounding walls, and the beams teetering on the brink of collapse!

The chill and Buddha's light completely dissipated.

Only to see the Evil Emperor and Master Le Kong standing in mid-air, confronting each other.

Between them floated a golden stone the size of a goose egg, almost transparent, like amber, surrounded by brilliant halos, seemingly containing a mysterious power.

Vajra Relic!

The Evil Emperor extended his palm, his five fingers curving, wanting to seize the Vajra Relic.

While Master Le Kong's hands formed an imaginary embrace, his withered palms trying their best to keep the Vajra Relic before him.

The two Grandmasters contested for the Vajra Relic in mid-air, their powers continuously surging, momentum escalating!

To be precise, there were three different forces in the air.

Besides the two Grandmasters, the Vajra Relic itself also contained a vast power.

The two Grandmasters exerted strength, continuously compressing the halos surrounding the Vajra Relic!

Chen Tang suddenly felt a lightening of his body, the terrifying oppressive force had vanished.

Can I move?

Chen Tang was overjoyed, seeing the stalemate between the two, carefully leaning against the wall, ready to act.

But just as he moved, he sensed a sudden danger!

In an instant, a chill ran up his spine, sending shivers through him.

The Evil Emperor's gaze suddenly shifted, landing on him!

"This is bad!"

Chen Tang was startled.

This lunatic still wants to kill me!

With no time to think, Chen Tang immediately entered the Divine Illumination State.

At the same time, Master Le Kong sensed the killing intent in the Evil Emperor's gaze and, his expression changing, urgently spoke out to dissuade him: "Lu Shi..."

The two were originally in a state of confrontation, deadlocked.

When Master Le Kong spoke, he leaked his aura.

The Evil Emperor's gaze brightened, and he suddenly intensified his effort.

Master Le Kong's entire body shuddered, his hands, which had been guarding the Vajra Relic, slightly relaxed.

The three forces initially seemed deadlocked, barely maintaining balance.

Due to Master Le Kong's slight flaw, the deadlock was instantly broken.

The Vajra Relic, squeezed by the two forces of the Evil Emperor and Master Le Kong, instantly shot out, transforming into a streak of golden light, coincidentally heading straight towards Chen Tang!

It was too fast.

Chen Tang could only see a burst of golden light before his eyes. Having just entered the Divine Illumination State, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen!

"Hmm!"

Chen Tang let out a muffled groan, his whole body crashing heavily against the wall behind him, deeply embedding into it, with large web-like cracks appearing around.

Damnit!

Chen Tang almost wanted to curse.

He was just forced to spectate, who had he provoked?

In the Divine Illumination State.

Chen Tang could clearly see the Vajra Relic lodged at his Dantian.

The tremendous impact almost piercing through his body.

But after tearing his abdomen, stained with his blood, the blood seeped into the surrounding glow, dripping onto the Vajra Relic, causing it to remain inside his abdomen.

A large gaping hole appeared in his lower abdomen, blood gushing out!

"Ah!"

Chen Tang screamed in agony.

"Haitang!"

An urgent shout came from the door, a young girl rushed in, running towards Chen Tang—it was Lu Qing.

Lu Qing had returned to the gorge by the mountainside, hearing from her martial uncle that her aunt left shortly after returning.

She sensed something was amiss and hurried over.

Unexpectedly, she was still a step too late.

The Evil Emperor merely glanced indifferently at Lu Qing, making no move to stop her.

The energy contained within the Vajra Relic was enough to annihilate all the life force of that young man!

Before Lu Qing arrived, Master Le Kong had already reached Chen Tang's side, staring at Chen Tang's lower abdomen, extending his palm as if to extract the Vajra Relic.

But his white eyebrows twitched, his palm hovering over Chen Tang's abdomen, his expression hesitant, yet he paused.

Soon, Master Le Kong tapped several points between his eyebrows, flashing golden light, using the supreme true intent of the Buddhist Sect to seal several major points around Chen Tang's abdomen, temporarily suppressing the energy of the Vajra Relic.

"Aunt, Haitang and I are just friends, not at all like what you think!"

Lu Qing turned to look at the Evil Emperor, glaring angrily, and said: "Why do you want to harm him!"

The Evil Emperor's expression was indifferent.

She indeed came with the intent to kill Chen Tang.

But just now, it was merely an accident.

Who knew the Vajra Relic would coincidentally strike this boy.

However, the Evil Emperor disdained explaining.

Back then, she severed Qin Xi's left arm, partly as punishment.

In truth, it was also because Qin Xi's left hand lacked four fingers, too distinguishable for concealing identity.

Back in the day, due to this, Lu Yunyan misunderstood, and instead of explaining, she admitted it outright, saying that today she only severed his arm, but if they continued to be together, next time she would take his head!

Lu Yunyan and Qin Xi were frightened away by her.

But if she truly wanted to detain them, could they escape her grasp?

Moreover, many men and women start from being friends, she had long seen through.

To prevent Lu Qing from being trapped in sentimental ties, following her same path, if the boy died, it would be an end to it.
