Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 333 Demonic Monk, I Need Your Help in My Cultivation

"Monk! You're not bad!" Qiu Chuji patted the golden flames on his body and said with a smile.

Feeling the gradual transformation and strengthening of the true qi, Qiu Chuji was in a very good mood.

Of course, he wouldn't make that decision so easily and take such a risk. Fahai's attack had indeed stimulated the lotus root's potential, but if the force of the attack exceeded the critical point, the lotus root might shatter directly.

If it breaks, it would be a real shame, as it would undoubtedly delay Qiu Chuji from completing the first step.

Fahai glanced at the hole in his robe, his icy expression almost breaking down.

Although his kasaya was not bestowed by Buddha or Bodhisattva and was not that precious, it was still woven from the hair of countless demons he had collected over many years. It was his favorite protective magic weapon. Now, Qiu Chuji had poked several holes in it. It seemed that the damage was not serious and that it would not expose him, but the meaning of this kasaya was not about covering his body or being modest.

As a protective treasure, having a hole in it reduces its effectiveness by 80%, and if it has several holes, it's basically useless.

"Again!" Fahai waved his hand, signaling Qiu Chuji to attack again.

Qiu Chuji stood still, his hand seemingly holding a sword, while rows of swords materialized behind him and spread out like wings of the sky.

"Still fighting? If I were you, I'd be thinking about how to escape!" Qiu Chuji said, while unfolding the innate array diagram and calculating Fahai's possible next move.

After their exchange, Qiu Chuji had gained a relatively clear understanding of Fahai. By using the Innate Diagram to calculate Fahai's next move, if Fahai could not introduce significant variables, there was a 30% chance that Qiu Chuji could accurately predict his next move.

This probability is quite high.

When powerful figures like Qiu Chuji and Fahai clash, the battle is not limited to a single point or area. The scene of their confrontation is merely a manifestation of their previous mutual games and probing, reaching a climax, and changes can occur at any moment.

If Qiu Chuji accurately predicted 30% of Fahai's fate, it would mean that Qiu Chuji had already secured more than half of the advantage, and only then could the competition be considered "fair".

With such an advantage, Qiu Chuji saw that Fahai did not leave but stayed to continue to challenge him. Although he spoke frivolously, he was actually thinking about what kind of trump card Fahai would bring out next.

You can't be fooled!

Fahai is not a child. When he cannot achieve his goal, resorting to deception and trickery has no real meaning or value.

As for running away after being intimidated, that's even more impossible!

Even though Fahai is in a relatively unfavorable situation, if he wants to run away, Qiu Chuji really can't stop him.

"It's going to rain!" Fahai replied, still giving an irrelevant answer.

Qiu Chuji didn't need to look up at the sky or look around; he could already feel the surrounding moisture suddenly becoming abundant.

It seemed as if the Five Elements Wheel was turning, attempting to refine the surrounding water vapor.

But this moisture seems to come from nowhere, endless and inexhaustible.

If one of the Five Elements Wheels is refined, three more will immediately be generated.

The Qi of the Five Elements rose and transformed into colorful mist that drifted around Qiu Chuji, while thick rain clouds piled up in the sky, obscuring Fahai's figure.

He didn't deliberately avoid it, but the figure in the golden robe appeared and disappeared in the rain clouds.

A gaze pierced through the clouds, coldly fixed on Qiu Chuji, as if to deliver a final 'judgment' to him.

Fahai fully utilized his immense magical power, completely unlike Qiu Chuji who engaged in close combat within a localized area. Instead, he enveloped everything around him within his own aura.

Fahai seemed to have transported an entire sea into the air.

Boom!

A deafening roar shook the heavens and earth, and a torrential downpour immediately followed.

The rainwater, which was originally falling vertically, all condensed in mid-air and then moved horizontally. During the movement, it accelerated and was repeatedly weighed down by weights that did not originally belong to it.

When these raindrops surrounded Qiu Chuji, each drop weighed a thousand pounds. Countless thousands of pounds of rainwater shot towards Qiu Chuji.

No matter how tough his body was, being hit by so many high-speed raindrops carrying immense gravity would only lead to his defeat and death.

At that moment, Qiu Chuji foresaw all of Fahai's actions.

However, such a wide-ranging, all-out, violent, and overwhelming output still left Qiu Chuji somewhat embarrassed.

Sword wings spread open, sword edges overlap, sword formations weave through, and sword energy soars.

The rain and the sword formation, like two formless giants who couldn't stand each other, entangled, clashed, and fought in mid-air, tearing each other apart.

The sword that Qiu Chuji condensed from the Great Five Elements Wheel is decreasing at an extremely rapid pace.

Even if Qiu Chuji mobilized the Five Elements Wheel to replenish his power, the rate of reduction was faster than the rate of replenishment.

It's hard to believe that Fahai, who was flooded by the Jinshan Temple, was most skilled at controlling water.

At this moment, Qiu Chuji had no time to concern himself with what 'truth' was hidden behind this. Faced with the relentless barrage of raindrops, he had to combine formations with swordsmanship, calculating the precise use of every wisp of sword energy, in order to eliminate as many raindrops as possible with minimal cost.

At this moment, the confrontation between Fahai and Qiu Chuji appears complex, unpredictable, and dazzling.

In reality, it is very similar to the internal energy battles fought by so-called martial arts masters.

Unfortunately, Qiu Chuji's true qi was far less abundant than Fahai's, and this was not a real contest of internal strength. Qiu Chuji could not possibly use the Beiming Divine Skill or the Absorption Technique to drain Fahai's power.

Moreover, at this level and stage, whether it is magical power or true qi, it is full of personal spiritual imprint, and is not just 'energy' stored in the body. How could anyone take away one's power for no reason?
brush!
A tiny gap appeared between the sword formations.

A gust of wind blew in, carrying with it a powerful downpour.

The rain lashed against Qiu Chuji's body, leaving distinct marks on his skin.

But these marks were quickly repaired.

At the same time, Qiu Chuji's aura would also rise slightly.

Then the sword formation opened a small gap, and another gust of wind and rain blew in.

This process was repeated seven or eight times. Qiu Chuji suffered multiple injuries, but his aura continued to rise rapidly.

After tasting the flavor, Fahai pushed his hands forward in the downpour.

A dragon-shaped energy entity composed of rain clouds, thunder, and storms forcefully tore through the sword formation and launched a full-scale attack on Qiu Chuji without regard for its own consumption.

"Demon monk, why don't you help me cultivate properly?" Qiu Chuji drew his sword and thrust it straight up, piercing the forehead of the dragon-shaped energy body, the entire body being driven in like a nail.

The boiling energy eroded Qiu Chuji's body, but the repeated impacts had given Qiu Chuji's lotus root body a great resistance to this energy.

Now that they can no longer tear apart Qiu Chuji's lotus root, they can only become nutrients to stimulate the lotus root to unleash its potential.

Fahai's magical power was as deep as the ocean, and at this moment, this immeasurable magical power was the crucible for Qiu Chuji to activate his potential.

Seeing Qiu Chuji, who appeared increasingly powerful despite being enveloped in dragon-shaped energy, Fahai felt deeply deceived. He thought all Taoists were frauds and could not be trusted. Nevertheless, he still mobilized the dragon's head, carrying Qiu Chuji straight towards West Lake.

Once he lands in West Lake and draws upon its moisture, he will be able to take his offensive to the next level.

As for whether the battle at West Lake would cause the towering waves to harm innocent civilians in the surrounding area?
Fahai felt no burden in his heart!

This is all the fault of the Taoist priest in front of us. He was unwilling to cooperate and unwilling to surrender, which led to all the consequences.

All we need to do is capture this Taoist priest and throw him into Leifeng Pagoda to atone for his sins!
