Chapter 2007 Tantric Great Handprint vs. Mantis Fist
Just as the Mantis Sect disciples were about to begin their meal, they saw more than a dozen Tibetans surge up the stairs and angrily walk towards them!

The golden mantis sighed, "What was bound to happen has finally happened!"

Silver Mantis frowned and said, "This restaurant owner is really bad at business. He actually dared to retaliate in public!"

Copper Mantis said, "Yes! Anyone with a bit of sense would know to make their move when no one is around. But he did it in full view of everyone. Isn't he afraid of hurting innocent people? Who will dare to patronize his place after this?"

A dozen or so Tibetans charged menacingly toward Mantis Six, then abruptly stopped!

One of the tall Tibetans said to the Golden Mantis, "Who killed my son? Step forward!"

The Golden Mantis remained seated, looking displeased, and said, "Are you mistaken? We've already resolved this matter with the owner here, and he promised not to pursue it further. Now you're suddenly coming to settle scores again. Isn't that incredibly unethical?"

The tall Tibetan man sneered: "What boss? Why should he negotiate with you to resolve my son's matter? I am Tashi's biological father!"

The Golden Mantis scoffed, "Damn! After all these years of navigating the world, I never expected to be caught off guard by your trickery. You dare to scheme against me?"

The tall Tibetan cursed, "Fuck you! Who killed my son? Step forward!" His gaze was fixed on the jade mantis!

The Jade Mantis, remembering its promise not to speak carelessly again, could only remain silent despite its immense anger.

The Tibetan sneered inwardly: Let's see how long you can endure this!
He grabbed the jade mantis's nose and cursed, "Is it you, you pretty boy?"

Jade Mantis clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot, and stared at Golden Mantis, gritting his teeth as he said, "Senior Brother, do you think we can still eat this meal?"

The Golden Mantis scrutinized the dozen or so Tibetans. Although they all possessed internal energy and could circulate their qi, none of them could defeat him! They dared to come looking for trouble; they must have something to rely on! What exactly was that reliance?
He rolled his eyes at the jade mantis. "Of course I can't eat this! Why can't I eat this? And you have the nerve to ask me that?"

The Jade Mantis's momentum was immediately dampened!
The Golden Mantis looked at the middle-aged Tibetan and said, "We have already given 200,000 taels of silver in compensation, and the owner here has accepted it and promised not to pursue the matter further. I don't know why you are still making a fuss about it!"

The middle-aged Tibetan, Dawa, said coldly, "You Han Chinese always bully us Tibetans, and now you dare to kill my son! Hand over the murderer immediately!"

Silver Mantis then stood up with a smile, "Brothers, it's all a misunderstanding, we didn't mean it..."

Snapped!
A crisp sound!
Five finger marks appeared on the silver mantis's face!
The six mantis brothers were immediately taken aback!
Although this Tibetan relied on a sneak attack, the speed at which he struck was still astonishing!
The silver mantis roared, "How dare you hit me, you bastard?"

Dawa said coldly, "Sorry, I didn't mean to!"

The silver mantis was furious and roared, "You fucking say this wasn't intentional?"

Dawa sneered, "I only accidentally slapped you, and you're already so angry. What am I supposed to do if you kill my son?"

Silver Mantis gripped the sword hilt with his right hand even tighter, trying his best to control himself from drawing the sword!
The golden mantis narrowed its eyes, "It seems you're determined to make trouble for us!"

"Hmph!" Dawa sneered, "You killed people and then pretend to be victims, how hypocritical!" A short, stout Tibetan behind him said in a deep voice, "If you don't hand over the murderer, we'll beat you all up too!"

The Golden Mantis sneered, "You think you can take me on?"

The short, stout Tibetan said coldly, "Stop pretending? Want to make a move?"

The Golden Mantis said, "There are too many people here, and we can't maneuver properly. Why don't we go outside and deal with this?"

Dawa said, "Okay! I'll wait for you downstairs!" Then he turned and left.
He never expected things to go so smoothly!
He originally thought that he would at least force the other party to take a desperate action in a fit of rage. He pretended to be defeated and retreated outside. Unexpectedly, the other party took the initiative to suggest that they settle the matter outside!
The Jade Mantis's face was contorted with rage, as if it had gone mad: "Senior Brother, this time we must kill them all!" Only by wiping them all out could he vent his hatred!

The Golden Mantis said, "Go home right now, without stopping for even a moment, now!"

Jade Mantis said, "Senior Brother! Why are you trying to send me away? I won't leave!"

The Golden Mantis thought to itself: That damned junior brother! I'm reminding you one last time for Master's sake, that's more than enough!
"Junior brother, those people are after you. You'd better leave quickly, or it might be too late!"

Jade Mantis remained unconvinced: "Senior Brother! The six of us are invincible! What are you afraid of these few Tibetan dogs?"

The Golden Mantis grew increasingly angry: "You think that's all they're capable of? These dozen or so Tibetans are clearly a decoy! They're just here to annoy us! If we can beat them, great; if not, we'll run! They definitely have more experts waiting for us behind them!"

Silver Mantis frowned and said, "Senior Brother! In that case, we should also prepare to retreat!"

The Golden Mantis said, "As long as Junior Brother escapes in the chaos, they won't dare to act recklessly if they can't find the real culprit!"

The copper mantis cried out, "Junior brother! You'd better run!"

Jade Mantis's face darkened. "Why should I run away? What are you all good for? My father sent you out to protect me! Have you forgotten? Huh?" His voice grew louder, drawing countless disgruntled glances from those around him!
The golden mantis immediately said, "Get out of here!"

If we don't get out soon, let alone face those Tibetans, we might not even be able to leave this room! So many people are looking to use them as stepping stones to make a name for themselves!

The six hurriedly left the Holy Snow Mountain Grand Hotel, only to find that the dozen or so Tibetans were already waiting for them in an open space!
The six mantises immediately came to them.

Before they could even regain their footing, the dozen or so Tibetans pulled out their scimitars and slashed at them, shouting and yelling!

"Avenge Zaxi!"

Where did the murderer run to?

"You killed someone and now you want to kill us?"

"Help! These bandits are trying to kill us to silence us!"

The Mantis scions were instantly stunned! Wasn't this a complete distortion of the truth? They were the ones who struck first, yet it was being made to seem like they were the ones chasing them!
Countless pedestrians on the long street stopped to watch!

Bang! The Golden Mantis raised its hand and punched a Tibetan flying, then kicked another one away. The other six brothers also joined the fight and knocked their opponents to the ground!
Suddenly, Dawa, who had been standing still, rushed over and threw a punch at the Golden Mantis!

A strong wind surged, sweeping up dust from the ground!

It turns out he was also an eighth-level expert! The only expert among these dozen or so Tibetans!
The Golden Mantis thought to itself: Since there is no room for reconciliation between the two sides, let's go all the way and kill all these Tibetans!
He roared, "Kill them!"

Jade Mantis had long harbored murderous intent; even if Golden Mantis hadn't said those words, he would have slaughtered all these "Tibetan dogs"! He had just pierced the throat of one Tibetan and was about to kill the second when the Tibetan, seeing the situation was not good, turned and ran!

"Trying to run?" The Jade Mantis revealed a ferocious smile, drew its sword, and gave chase!

The other Tibetans also ran away, but not everyone was lucky. Two of them died after being pierced through the heart by the silver mantis and the copper mantis after only a few steps!

"Chase!" Iron Mantis's sword only managed to slash a gash in the target's back, failing to kill him. Feeling humiliated, he drew his sword and gave chase!

The Tibetans scattered in all directions instead of fleeing in one direction, which instantly dispelled the Golden Mantis's suspicion that they had set up an ambush!
He looked at Dawa, who was still confronting him, and asked, "Why don't you run?"

Dawa said, "Why should I run? You're no stronger than me!"

"I never imagined you were at the peak of the eighth realm!"

"You too!"

"Your compatriots have all fled, aren't you going to save them?"

"How can I save them all by myself?"

The Golden Mantis was taken aback. "You guys aren't as united as I thought! If you don't run now, you'll miss your chance! My brothers will be back soon, and then you won't be able to escape!"

Dawa suddenly sneered, "If you don't run now, you'll miss your chance!"

Is it interesting to parrot others' ideas?

Suddenly a voice rang out from behind, "I think it's quite interesting!"

The golden mantis suddenly turned around!
He was somewhat surprised!
The person had silently walked up behind him, less than two zhang away!
He looked the man up and down, noticing that the man was quite handsome, but his features did not resemble those of a Han Chinese. "Are you a Tibetan?"

Prince Gyatso said, "That's right!" At this moment, Langjie, the owner of Holy Snow Mountain, came up behind him and whispered, "Of the six, he has the highest martial arts skills!" Prince Gyatso looked at the Golden Mantis, somewhat helplessly, "You mean he has the highest martial arts skills?"

Langjie nodded, "Yes!"

Prince Gyatso looked disappointed. "Use him as practice? If word gets out, where will I put my face?"

Langjie said, "Your Highness, whether it's a wooden target, a bamboo target, an iron target, or a bronze target, it's still a target. This arrow is being tested, so why do you care what kind of target it is?"

The golden mantis had a bad feeling!
These two seem to be talking about themselves! What does he have to do with the target? Does he want to test his archery skills? Using himself as a target?
The Golden Mantis couldn't help but take another closer look at Prince Gyatso. He saw that the other party had a noble temperament and his demeanor exuded the aura of someone who had long held a high position, but he seemed to know no martial arts and he could not sense any internal energy in him!
There are only two possibilities!
Either they don't know martial arts!

Either their martial arts skills have reached a point of returning to simplicity and becoming refined and restrained!

Judging from his arrogant attitude, how could he not know martial arts?
Upon realizing this, the Golden Mantis tensed up, its true energy instantly filling its entire body. It was on high alert, striving to withstand the overwhelming and fatal blow from the Tibetan nobleman!
The silver mantis's target suddenly turned into an alley, and he grinned maliciously, "Where do you think you're going to run now?" He immediately followed it in.

As soon as we entered the alley, we saw the Tibetan man hiding behind a red-robed lama with his eyes lowered. The lama had wrinkles around his eyes and was about fifty years old.

The silver mantis sneered, "Get out here! You bald monk, get out of the way!"

The red-robed lama suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as a knife!

"What do you want to do?"

The silver mantis remained oblivious to the danger and pressed forward! He reached the lama, his hands transforming into hooks like mantis blades, and sneered, "Old bald monk, get out of the way, or I'll let you taste the power of mantis fist!"

A murderous glint flashed in the red-robed lama's eyes. "Is that so?"

The Tibetan man behind him peeked out halfway and sneered, "So it's you, you stinky praying mantis. I thought you had epilepsy; your hands were all twitching out of shape!"

Upon hearing this, the silver mantis flew into a rage and suddenly attacked the lama with its right arm!

The powerful energy surged forth, overwhelming everything in its path!

In the Silver Mantis's mind, the old lama would be cleaved in two by his mantis blade!
Unexpectedly, a red shadow flashed, and the lama suddenly struck out with his palm!
The palm shadows were as thick as mountains, covering the heavens and the earth!
In an instant, a fishy smell wafted over!

The silver mantis felt a strong wind rushing through its body, and the oppressive feeling almost suffocated it!
bang——

The silver mantis felt a powerful surge in its chest, sending its entire body flying backward! Then, a fiery internal force, like a venomous dragon, invaded its body, raging wildly and causing excruciating pain to its internal organs, making it feel as if it were shattered!

With a thud, he fell to the ground, felt a salty taste in his throat, and spat out a mouthful of blood!

In a daze, a tall figure walked up to him. The blue sky was truly blue, the white clouds truly white, and the tall figure perfectly blocked the sun, making it impossible to see his face, but he could still make out the lama's robes!
The target he had been chasing all the way reappeared beside the lama.

"Master, is he dead?"

The red-robed lama said, "With all five internal organs shattered, death is inevitable!"

"I think he's still breathing!"

"Then you should finish him off with two more stabs!"

"okay!"

The Tibetan actually pulled out his curved knife and stabbed the silver mantis twice!

The silver mantis looked utterly incredulous!

How could this be? How is this possible? I actually died in this godforsaken place? And at the hands of a Tibetan lama?

*Pfft!* The silver mantis spat out another mouthful of blood, then cursed, "Junior brother ruined me!" before dying instantly.
The iron mantis, bronze mantis, and tin mantis all had the same fate: they each encountered a red-robed lama! And then they were companions in the underworld!

The one hunting the jade mantis was the Tibetan Lama Tenzin! His crimson robe fluttered in the wind, his left hand formed the Acala Mudra, and his right palm was placed behind his back with a slight downward press—his palm faintly glowed with a dark gold, as if plated with a layer of patina! This was a sign that he had reached the pinnacle of the Tantric "Mahamudra"!

Ten paces away, the Jade Mantis, his green robe fluttering, his arms slightly bent like a mantis raising a blade, a point of green light gleaming at his fingertips! The Changyang Mantis School's "Seven Star Strike" emphasizes "blade arm locking the throat, inch force breaking through armor!"
The moment he saw the lama appear, he realized he had fallen into a trap!
He remembered his senior brother's advice and wanted to leave immediately, but two red-robed lamas had appeared behind him, blocking his way out!
When two armies meet on a narrow path, only the brave will prevail!

"Come on!" Jade Mantis Xie Yantang roared, veins bulging on his neck! When facing death, some are terrified, some are stunned, some go mad! Jade Mantis had gone mad at this moment!

Tenzin's face darkened, and he roared "Hum—" The sound was like thunder, shattering the surrounding roof tiles! He pushed his right palm forward, using the "Demon-Subduing Seal"—the palm wind condensed into a visible golden wave of energy, pressing down on the Jade Mantis like a tidal wave!

Jade Mantis dared not take the blow head-on. Instead, it lowered its body like a mantis crouching on the grass, and with a "snip" of its left arm, it slashed diagonally. Its fingertips swept across the edge of the air wave, and with a "snip", the golden palm wind was torn open!
He used the momentum to leap forward, his right arm swiftly thrusting towards Danzeng's throat like a mantis knife – the deadly "throat-locking nail" move of Mantis Boxing!
The two lamas at the alley entrance frowned, thinking to themselves: This kid looks like a spoiled brat, but I didn't expect his martial arts to be so good! He's actually at the peak of the eighth realm, just like Danzeng!
Tenzin changed his move with lightning speed, his left wrist flipping into a "lion's seal," his forearm taking the thrust head-on. "Clang!" Amidst the clang of metal against metal, the Jade Mantis felt as if a bronze bell had been struck, the pain excruciating—this lama had actually mastered Tantric techniques to the point where his skin was as hard as iron!

Jade Mantis retreated three steps, then suddenly split into three – the Mantis Sect's "Three Star Step" left an afterimage, and its true form had already circled behind Danzeng, its two fingers forming a sword as it stabbed directly at Danzeng's "Mingmen" acupoint on his spine!
Tenzin, however, seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. His robe suddenly swelled up like a ball, and a gentle force deflected seven-tenths of the finger's power. He spun around and delivered a backhand "Prajna Palm," the Sanskrit swastika symbol shimmering in his palm!

The jade mantis quickly flipped over to avoid the attack, the palm wind grazing its nose, and a pine tree as thick as a bowl behind it snapped in half, the broken end charred black as if struck by lightning!
The jade mantis suddenly bit its tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood mist onto its palms—the "Blood Mantis Force," a secret technique of the Mantis Sect!
His ten fingers instantly turned crimson red like branding irons, and his moves suddenly became ruthless. He launched a series of attacks with "Crushing Hammer," "Circling Hand," and "Fluttering Wings," each move carrying a bloody aura!

Tenzin's expression was solemn. He clasped his hands together and chanted the "Six-Syllable Mantra," and his whole body shone with golden light! He actually used his bare hands to meet the Blood Mantis's force head-on, and sparks flew where his palms and fingers collided! After thirty moves, the Jade Mantis suddenly felt a stinging pain in his fingertips—Tenzin's palm force contained a hidden "Secret Buddhist Spiral Force," which penetrated his meridians like a diamond!
Jade Mantis staggered backward, his right arm hanging limply, clearly indicating that his tendons and veins were injured! Danzeng, however, did not pursue, but instead withdrew his palm and sighed: "The 'inch force' of the Mantis Fist can actually break through my three layers of Golden Bell Shield, which is truly beyond my expectations!"

Before he finished speaking, Jade Mantis suddenly pushed off the ground with his left foot, leaping into the air like a mantis swooping down on a cicada—"Azure Mantis Crossing the Water!" His left arm transformed into a streak of azure light, piercing straight for Dan Zeng's brow!

Tenzin neither dodged nor evaded, but lightly pressed out his right palm, which was the "Void Seal" from the Great Hand Seal!
"puff!"

The palm strike stopped three inches from the Jade Mantis's chest, the force of which had already passed through its body, leaving a huge palm print on the earthen wall behind the Jade Mantis!
The jade mantis spewed out blood!

The force of the Great Handprint had already shattered his internal organs into pieces!
Without turning his head, Tenzin exchanged a glance with the two red-robed lamas. "Let's go and report back to His Highness!"

Pang Shiwu, who was on the third floor, said, "They must have started fighting. I'm going down to see what's going on!"

Feng Jiuxiao said, "Go if you want to!"

Bigwolf said, "I'll go with you!"

When Pang Shiwu and Big Wolf left the restaurant, they saw a young man confronting the Golden Mantis!
The young man exuded an air of authority, which for a moment reminded Pang Shiwu of Liu Miezhou!
At this moment, Prince Gyatso slowly approached!

"Make your move. I'll give you a chance to show off all the martial arts you know!"

The Golden Mantis said, "You're pretty arrogant!"

Prince Gyatso said, "I think I'm very merciful! In the past, I would never have given others such an opportunity! Some people don't even have a chance to make a second move!"

The golden mantis's pupils contracted. "Who are you?"

"Gyatso! It means the ocean!"

"What is your relationship with Zaxi?"

“Tashi means auspiciousness, Dawa means moon, Nyima Ni means sun, Tsering means longevity, and Gesang means happiness.”

"Hmph! Since you're unwilling to reveal it, then so be it! I suspect your identity is not simple, and you have grand ambitions! Your help for Zaxi's revenge is just a pretext; you just want to use this opportunity to cause trouble, right?"

Prince Gyatso was taken aback, then smiled at Langjie and said, "This fellow is quite clever!"

Langjie said expressionlessly, "Intelligent people all die young!"

Prince Gyatso laughed and said, "That's right! Come on, I'll give you the chance to make the first move!"

The Golden Mantis had been secretly observing the situation around him. Apart from some passersby watching, it seemed that no one else was surrounding him! He also spotted Pang Shiwu and Big Wolf at the entrance of the restaurant, but he knew that the two of them were definitely just observing and would never join forces with the other to hunt him down!

He kept calculating the possibility of escaping!
If the opponent's agility surpasses mine, then all my plans are a joke! If the opponent's agility is average, then I'll have a chance to escape and a chance to make a comeback!

Prince Gyatso said, "You can forget about escaping. You only have one chance: defeat me!" He gestured for the golden mantis to look at the rooftops around them.

The Golden Mantis glanced at the scene, and his heart sank to the bottom! Countless archers were densely packed and ambushed on the rooftops all around! Arrows were already drawn, their arrowheads gleaming coldly! They were clearly the renowned Armor-Piercing Arrows! Even if he were indestructible, he would have no chance against them!
He felt somewhat humiliated!
I also feel some regret!
I shouldn't have brought my junior brother along this time!
"Kill!" With a furious roar, the golden mantis charged towards Prince Gyatso!
Thank you for your strong support and encouragement from Yudong!
