Chapter 934: Snatching the Chakram

Monk Zhi Shan clasped his palms together in greeting before he politely said, “It’s thanks to your gifts that my wounds have recently healed, Almsgiver Zhao. How are your injuries, Almsgiver Zhao?”

“I’m alright.” Chu Li quietly sat on the cattail hassock.

Monk Zhi Shan shook his head. “Almsgiver Zhao, it seems that your cultivation level has deteriorated again. How unfortunate.”

Zhao Dahe’s current cultivation level was vastly different than before. It was very obvious that Zhao Dahe’s cultivation level had deteriorated greatly due to the wounds that Monk Zhi Shan had inflicted on him. Monk Zhi Shan was delighted to notice this situation.

Chu Li said, “Monk Zhi Shan, I’ve heard that you managed to solve the Womb Mystery. That means that you’ve remembered your past self. Were you a man or a woman in your past life?”

“Hmph!” Monk Zhi Shan’s expression instantly darkened.

Chu Li chuckled. “I see, you were a woman in your previous life! That’s not surprising.”

Monk Zhi Shan coldly said, “Almsgiver Zhao, haven’t you said enough?”

Chu Li replied, “I’m very intrigued by the Womb Mystery. Did it feel wonderful to be a woman in your past life? Did it feel strange to suddenly have a man’s body when you were previously a woman? Were you frustrated?”

Monk Zhi Shan sternly asked, “Almsgiver Zhao, are you waiting for reinforcements?”

“Of course not. I don’t need any reinforcements.” Chu Li shook his head and said, “Monk Zhi Shan, reinforcements are useless against you. The two of us are enough!”

“Almsgiver Zhao, it seems like you’re about to reveal your trump card!” Monk Zhi Shan scoffed.

Chu Li extended his arm and faintly raised it before a black, partially bright red stone flew out from the bottom of the furnace. Chu Li said, “Yes, I do have a trump card. It’ll be difficult for you to escape death this time! However, I’m still curious about the Womb Mystery. I want to know what it felt like. I wouldn’t be interested if you were a man in your last life. You’d merely think that the affairs of the world had undergone great changes. On the other hand, I can’t imagine what you felt as a woman in your previous life. Monk Zhi Shan, why don’t you tell me?”

A piercing glimmer flashed in Monk Zhi Shan’s eyes. Soon after that, he suppressed his emotions and calmly replied, “Almsgiver Zhao, it seems like you’re provoking this beggarly monk because you truly have a trump card. In that case, this beggarly monk is going to teach you a lesson!”

Chu Li sized his opponent up. “Monk Zhi Shan, do you prefer being a woman or a man?”

Monk Zhi Shan observed the alchemy furnace. “Almsgiver Zhao, what kind of pill are you refining?”

Chu Li happily answered, “It’s a pill for women to improve their looks and maintain a youthful appearance. Monk Zhi Shan, does it interest you as well? Are you still influenced by your previous life?”

“Namo Amitabha…” Monk Zhi Shan took a deep breath to suppress the rage and murderous intent that were surging inside him. Monk Zhi Shan’s voice filled the night sky when he loudly cried out Buddha’s name. Everyone in Town Defense Prefecture could hear it. “Almsgiver Zhao, will you lend your strength to this beggarly monk?”

A glowing, pitch-black lunar chakram flew out of the monk’s loose sleeve. The chakram made a whooshing noise as it shot toward Chu Li.

Chu Li hurriedly lowered his head.

“Clang, clang, clang, clang…” The lunar chakram hit the alchemy furnace.

The lunar chakram spun faster when the alchemy furnace blocked it. The chakram was about to slice through the furnace. Sparks scattered everywhere while an ear-piercing noise rang out.

The lunar chakram’s speed kept increasing as it vigorously struck the alchemy furnace. The chakram left numerous scratches on the alchemy furnace, but those marks were only as deep as fingernails because the furnace was too thick. The chakram was powerless to damage it any further.

Chu Li reached his hand out to grab it.

Monk Zhi Shan extended his arm as well.

The lunar chakram was about to fly back into Monk Zhi Shan’s loose sleeve, but Chu Li snatched the chakram just as it flew backward.

A chill ran through Chu Li’s hand when he caught the lunar chakram. That strange chill instantly penetrated Chu Li’s body and nearly froze him. The blade energy of the Single Slice of the Universe was originally controlled by Chu Li’s Dantian, but the blade energy was awakened by that chill now. A burst of blade energy suddenly pierced through and melted the chill.

The lunar chakram was extremely heavy despite being small. It was as heavy as two buckets of water. If it was not for his extraordinary strength, Chu Li would have been forced to release the chakram when it caught him by surprise.

Aside from the chills, the lunar chakram was also shrouded by a strange aura that was probably a faint spiritual force.

Chu Li scanned it with his eyes. The patterns that were engraved on the lunar chakram were extremely lifelike. The lunar chakram was gently shaking, as though it wanted to escape Chu Li’s grasp.

Monk Zhi Shan did not panic despite being unable to get his lunar chakram back. Another lunar chakram made a whooshing noise as it flew out of the monk’s loose sleeve, flying toward Chu Li.

Chu Li lowered his head once more, but the lunar chakram abruptly spun. The chakram scraped against the alchemy furnace as it flew toward Chu Li.

“Ding…” Chu Li used the lunar chakram that he was holding to deflect the other lunar chakram. The second lunar chakram spun in the air, but it did not injure Chu Li. A ball of white light shot out from the solar chakram in Monk Zhi Shan’s sleeve when he waved his hand.

Chu Li’s body fluttered as he moved away with ease.

“Bang!” The alchemy furnace briefly shook.

When the lunar chakram fell down, Chu Li struck it with the other lunar chakram that he was holding. The second lunar chakram suddenly hit against the alchemy furnace.

“Clang, clang, clang, clang…” The lunar chakram scraped against the alchemy furnace again.

Monk Zhi Shan shook his head and said, “Almsgiver Zhao, it doesn’t matter if the lunar chakram falls into your hands. Ultimately, it is mine, you can’t unleash its true potential.”

Chu Li replied, “I’d happily throw them into the bottom of the lake!”

“It’s useless.” Monk Zhi Shan calmly shook his head.

Chu Li reached his hand out and retrieved the embedded lunar chakram. It felt extremely heavy when he was holding one lunar chakram in each hand.

Monk Zhi Shan scoffed before his solar chakram turned into a ray of white light that shot outward.

Chu Li lowered his head and dodged the attack.

“Tss!” The solar chakram silently sliced through the alchemy furnace as though it was cutting a piece of tofu. The solar chakram was embedded into the courtyard wall after that.

A strong medicinal scent instantly wafted out and filled the courtyard.

“Ahh…” Zhou Jinchun cried out miserably while he was lying on the roof.

Junior Sister Lu had placed her hopes in the Detachment Pill that was being refined. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by this baldy, Monk Zhi Shan, who should have died one hundred times over. Now that the alchemy furnace was destroyed, it was impossible to refine the Detachment Pill. Everything was ruined!

Zhou Jinchun decided that he would murder Monk Zhi Shan even if he had to risk his life to do it!

Zhou Jinchun was about to move, but he paused as he felt extremely lethargic. Zhou Jinchun’s body felt empty because he had exerted all of his inner energy to use the light-body technique to climb up the roof. Zhou Jinchun wanted to murder his enemy, but he was powerless to reverse this desperate situation.

Chu Li coldly glared at Monk Zhi Shan without looking at the alchemy furnace.

“Namo Amitabha…” Monk Zhi Shan clasped his palms together before he chanted Buddha’s name. He looked rather sympathetic. “The living world is filled with suffering. You should hurry up and return to the Ultimate Land of Bliss instead!”

Chu Li replied, “Monk Zhi Shan, prepare to die!”

“If I’m going to hell, I’m going to drag other people down with me as well!” Monk Zhi Shan clasped his palms together and said, “Almsgiver Zhao, this beggarly monk is leaving now. I need to redeem the lost souls of those two female almsgivers.”

“Tss! Tss!” Two faint whistles simultaneously echoed as Chu Li’s blade energy finally shot out.

“Ding…” Monk Zhi Shan sent two of his solar chakrams flying to protect his precordium and throat respectively. Monk Zhi Shan smiled and said, “Almsgiver Zhao, did you assume that this beggarly monk only had two solar chakrams?”

Monk Zhi Shan had seen through Chu Li’s thoughts long ago. The monk decided to beat Chu Li at his own game when he failed to defeat Chu Li with his solar and lunar chakrams. Monk Zhi Shan felt extremely relieved and happy when he saw the grim look on Chu Li’s face.

Chu Li took a deep breath and nodded. “You’re so skillful!”

“I’m leaving.” Monk Zhi Shan kept both of his solar chakrams before he fluttered up the wall.

“Tss, tss, tss, tss!” Chu Li leaped and appeared at the bottom of the wall. Chu Li waved his hands, and more than ten bursts of blade energy were seemingly shot out at the same time. Chu Li was in so much pain that he thought his meridians were being sliced open by knives.

“Roar!” Monk Zhi Shan suddenly shouted while he was forming his seals. His shouts sounded like an angry lion’s roar that echoed through the night sky.

Monk Zhi Shan’s loose robe suddenly expanded like a rubber ball before a strange force flowed around his body. This was the power of the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture. The monk’s body abruptly turned into a spinning circle, unhinged and uncontrolled by anything. The circle caused every other force to rebound before they were sucked inside.

A gigantic image of Buddha was hidden behind Monk Zhi Shan all along. The image appeared indistinctly before it suddenly condensed. The image of Buddha revealed its true form before it merged with Monk Zhi Shan’s body.

Monk Zhi Shan was suddenly as imposing as a lofty mountain. He could look down at all living forces as they were directly in his face.

Zhou Jinchun, who was on the roof, nearly subconsciously bowed to Monk Zhi Shan because his first instinct was to submit to the monk.
