Martial Arts Crossover: The Sweeping Monk of Wudang? That's our patriarch!

Wudi City.

The day of the decisive battle arrived as scheduled.

The area below the city gate was packed with people early in the morning, with martial arts heroes from all directions crowding the area.

Rumor has it that someone slept on the ground last night just to get a front-row view.

Time was drawing ever closer.

As the great battle is about to begin, everyone holds their breath, their hearts burning with excitement and anticipation surging like a tide.

Below the city gate, crowds thronged, with countless martial arts practitioners craning their necks and staring intently at the towering walls of Wudi City.

A figure dressed in pure white stood side by side with an old man wearing a tattered sheepskin coat and with only one arm on the wall.

"It's Lord Wang! And Sword God Li!"

The crowd erupted in a roar, with shouts of surprise rising and falling.

People in the martial arts world of Liyang are used to seeing all kinds of storms, but seeing the former number one in the world standing side by side with the current pinnacle of martial arts still makes their blood boil and their breath catch in their throat.

"Old Wang, how confident are you of your chances in this battle?"

Li Chungang leaned against the railing, his tone flippant, but his eyes held a seriousness.

Wang Xianzhi stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance. "In other places, it would be fifty-fifty. But in this Martial Emperor City—I have sixty percent."

Li Chungang chuckled softly, "No wonder they insisted on setting the location here."

"I had already informed Master Chen, and he replied that it was exactly what I wanted."

Wang Xianzhi responded calmly.

"That's typical of him," Li Chungang nodded.

Before he finished speaking, the clamor below suddenly rose, like a boiling tide.

"Lin Daochen is here!"

The two looked up and saw a huge, snow-white crane breaking through the clouds at the edge of the sky, its wings sweeping across the heavens and blotting out the sun.

In the blink of an eye, the crane's shadow had landed on the city wall.

Lin Daochen gracefully leaped down from the crane's back, his clothes unfurled, his expression unchanged.

After exchanging greetings with clasped hands, Wang Xianzhi said, "Since you have come from afar, please rest for a while."

"No need," Lin Daochen shook his head slightly. "I've been the only one who has helped along the way; I haven't contributed anything."

Wang Xianzhi didn't say much, only raised her hand: "In that case, please."

"Please." Lin Daochen replied calmly, his voice as still as a deep well.

Li Chungang whistled, and then he and Bai He retreated to a distance, giving up the entire section of the city wall.

Below, all was silent, with all eyes fixed on that small area, and even breathing was done very quietly.

Right now—

Wang Xianzhi moved.

Without any build-up or shout, he simply took a step forward and threw a punch.

Silent and still, as if it were merely brushing away the snow that had fallen on her shoulder.

But the punch was delivered strangely, without any force or fluctuation, as if the void had been quietly torn apart.

Only Lin Daochen understood that this was not a lack of power, but rather that the power had been condensed to the extreme, with not a trace leaking out and all contained within!

This punch, once unleashed, has already reached a state of perfection.

"good!"

Lin Daochen inwardly praised, then joined two fingers together, as if wielding an invisible sword, and gently drew a line—

boom!!!

A deafening roar erupted from the void as the two forces collided violently and exploded instantly!

The air surged and the turbulent currents stirred, causing the city wall's blue bricks to shatter and fly like pieces of paper, crashing down towards the city below.

The onlookers screamed and scattered, looking utterly disheveled.

"Lord Wang," Lin Daochen said calmly, "there's no need to test him anymore. Just give it your all."

"Alright!" Wang Xianzhi responded loudly, then smiled, "However—let's fight somewhere else. If we keep going like this, my Martial Emperor City might be reduced to ruins."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped out of the city wall and stomped his foot—

It was just emptiness!

What's even more astonishing is that he didn't leap or fly, but instead walked steadily through the air as if on flat ground, step by step, as if there really was an invisible path to heaven beneath his feet!

With each step he took, his aura surged by one point!

After three steps, the world changes color; after five steps, the wind and clouds reverse!

When he stopped in the void above the sea, his aura was like a volcanic eruption, unstoppable!

An overwhelming aura surged into the sky, like an angry dragon breaking through the abyss, piercing straight through the Milky Way, stirring up the heavens and causing the sea of ​​clouds to churn!

He stood quietly in the sky, without using any offensive techniques or moving his muscles, yet he was one with heaven and earth, as if he were the sky, the earth, and the master of this world!

An invisible pressure spread out, and those watching from afar felt a jolt in their hearts, almost causing them to kneel down.

At that moment, golden sunlight pierced through the thick clouds and poured down on him, shining brightly, as if a god had descended to earth.

That moment——

All beings looked up in awe, as if they were seeing a true immortal!

"Too powerful! No wonder he's Wang Xianzhi, who has guarded Martial Emperor City for sixty years; his mere aura is enough to make people tremble!"

"This is truly the best in the world! For sixty years, no one in the Li Yang martial world has been able to defeat him. His reputation is indeed well-deserved; he is simply terrifying!"

"Today's duel is going to be interesting! Dao Chen Zhenren has finally met his match!"

"..."

Not only were ordinary martial arts practitioners speechless with shock, but even Li Chungang's pupils constricted slightly at this moment.

He never expected that Wang Xianzhi had pushed martial arts to such a level.

The unity of heaven and man, the integration of the body with all things—this has long transcended the realm of ordinary terrestrial immortals.

In that instant, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.

This battle is destined to be a once-in-a-century showdown.

At this moment, Lin Daochen was quietly gazing at Wang Xianzhi, whose fighting spirit was soaring.

"This person is indeed extraordinary."

A light comment, yet it is a very high level of recognition.

Before he could finish speaking...

boom--!

A bolt of lightning tore through the sky, and Lin Daochen's figure had vanished without a trace atop the Martial Emperor City.

In the next instant, he stood in the void, facing Wang Xianzhi directly.

Swift as a ghost, as if teleported.

The countless spectators below gasped in astonishment.

"Dao Chen Zhenren's methods... are simply profound!"

The crowd was deeply shocked and almost knelt down.

High above the heavens.

Lin Daochen's gaze was calm, and his voice was indifferent: "Lord Wang's martial arts prowess is unparalleled in my life. You are the strongest enemy I have ever faced."

He finished speaking.

Boom! ...

A vast and unfathomable aura suddenly exploded from his body, like a raging sea or the collapse of the sky!

The previous refined and otherworldly, ethereal aura vanished instantly, replaced by an unparalleled majesty that reigned supreme over heaven and earth and held sway over the universe!

His body was surrounded by surging spiritual energy and flowing Daoist rhyme. Golden light shone down, illuminating his body, as if he were the embodiment of the Great Dao, the Dao Ancestor descending to earth!

At this moment, he was no longer a cultivator walking among mortals, but the master of this world!

Unlike Wang Xianzhi's perfect "merging with heaven and earth", Lin Daochen displays an unparalleled style of "mastering heaven and earth"!

In terms of sheer presence, it has already gained the upper hand!

In an instant, everyone held their breath, their minds reeling.

All eyes were fixed on the sky, hearts pounding like drums.

The mere standoff was already astonishing; what kind of earth-shattering scene would unfold when the two truly clashed?

Everyone knows it in their hearts—

Regardless of victory or defeat, this battle will surely be recorded in the epic history of martial arts, and its fame will last for thousands of years, shaking the entire world!

In the void.

Wang Xianzhi looked at Lin Daochen, whose aura had surged dramatically, and for the first time, a look of shock flashed across her eyes.

"Master Dao Chen, I have been stationed in Martial Emperor City for over sixty years, fought over fourteen hundred battles, and never been defeated. No one has ever made me feel the slightest pressure... But today, I actually feel pressure."

He grinned, his confidence soaring: "To have met an opponent like you, I have no regrets in this life!"

"bring it on--!"

A long roar, and the fighting spirit blazed into the sky!

Sunlight poured down, and Wang Xianzhi's body radiated a dazzling golden light, as if a god had descended to earth, shining with boundless glory!

He stood on the void, his spine like a dragon, and his fist struck out with a thunderous force!

boom--!!!

Nine dazzling meteors appeared out of thin air and roared down from the heavens, their target Lin Daochen!

Each meteor is arranged in an array, subtly conforming to the ultimate principle of heaven and earth—the Nine Palaces, traveling by the stars!

Nine Palaces Star Control Fist!

A punch that sends stars crashing down, a punch that shatters mountains and rivers!

The meteor streaked across the sky at such great speed that it violently rubbed against the air, bursting forth in crimson flames and transforming into nine burning fire meteors that tore through the heavens!

A heatwave swept across the land, causing the temperature to rise sharply, as if even space itself was melting!

To everyone else, that scene was like a miracle—

A golden colossus stood tall in the sky, holding up nine burning stars in his hands, and then smashed them down!

With this punch, mountains and rivers crumbled, and the universe was turned upside down!

"good."

Lin Daochen's lips curled up slightly. Instead of backing down, he met the attack head-on!

laugh--!

With a flick of the fingertips, the five elements of spiritual energy intertwined into threads, flowing like Dao patterns, as if the laws were just beginning to emerge!

Pointing out with one finger—

boom!!!

The void suddenly split open, and five perfectly integrated Five Elements Sword Mountains descended with a roar, like pillars supporting the sky, suppressing the eight wastelands.

Five Elements Heaven-Sealing Sword!

As soon as the sword technique was formed, the world changed color, and a vast sealing power swept out, instantly locking the nine rapidly falling fire meteors, causing their speed to decrease sharply, as if they were being dragged by an invisible giant hand.

Lin Daochen lightly traced a line with his fingertip, tearing through the void with a streak of divine energy. In an instant, the five sword mountains trembled simultaneously, and countless sword energies of the five elements surged forth like a flood bursting its banks, directly slashing at the nine-star flames formed from Wang Xianzhi's fist energy.

Bang Bang Bang!

A series of explosions tore through the sky as sword energy and fire meteors collided wildly in the void, sparks flying everywhere. The aftershocks, sharp as knives, sliced ​​through the sea of ​​clouds, stirred the heavens, and transformed into countless destructive storms that swept across all directions.

Fortunately, the battlefield had already moved to the East Sea. If the battle had taken place on the walls of Emperor Wu's city, the city would probably have been reduced to dust by now.

The power of this strike was earth-shattering; the heroes watching below trembled violently, their breath caught in their throats, and they felt their very souls shaking.

Rumble—!

The fierce battle continued. Although Lin Daochen's sword energy kept shattering, Wang Xianzhi's Nine Star Fire Meteor also exploded one after another, disappearing into the void.

On the surface, it appears to be a lose-lose situation, but upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that the sword energy has a slight advantage.

If this continues, Wang Xianzhi's boxing skills will soon be exhausted.

Who was Wang Xianzhi? He saw through the situation at a glance, his mind racing, and he suddenly clasped his hands together!

The remaining fist intent instantly condensed, transforming into a colossal fire meteor that reached the heavens and the earth, and with immense force, it crashed out!

This strike was domineering and unparalleled, ruthlessly tearing through the air, forcefully shattering layers of sword nets, and crashing through a sword mountain. The Five Elements Formation immediately collapsed in one corner, and the fire meteor, carrying the power of destruction, went straight for Lin Daochen's head!

Lin Daochen remained unmoved, and with another stroke of his finger, a sword aura that seemed to pierce through heaven and earth suddenly took shape.

Whoosh—!

Above the heavens, a vast and boundless river of sword energy surged down from the nine heavens, like the Milky Way pouring down from above, furiously slashing at the fiery meteors!

boom! ! !

A colossal explosion shook the world!

The sword energy cleaved down head-on, tearing the enormous fire meteor in two. The force of the fist exploded, transforming into a shower of light, like a cascading waterfall of stars, dazzling and brilliant.

The sword's momentum had not yet subsided, and the remaining power of the Milky Way still roared forward, rushing straight towards Wang Xianzhi with overwhelming force!

Wang Xianzhi snorted coldly, raised both arms, and shouted, "Rise!"

boom--!

The waters of the East China Sea rose into the air with a start, lifted up by a terrifying force, and instantly condensed into a towering, boundless wall of water that stretched across the front of him!

boom! ! !

The sword energy slashed down fiercely, causing the water wall to tremble violently, with waves reaching thousands of feet high and a continuous roar.

Bang Bang Bang!

Under repeated attacks, the water wall crumbled step by step and was finally pierced through, but the overwhelming sword force also exhausted its remaining strength and dissipated into the void at the last moment.

In that instant, Wang Xianzhi waved his sleeves, and the East Sea raged again. Ten thousand acres of seawater surged into the sky and condensed into a raging water dragon. Its scales and claws flew, its body coiled, and its body was surrounded by a clear light—a sign of the convergence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!

"Oh?" Lin Daochen's eyes flickered slightly.

Surprisingly, this pure martial artist was able to so freely manipulate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Although it still relies on external forces and is far from his level of refining qi into spirit and absorbing spiritual energy back to its origin, it is still quite rare.
