Chapter 186 A Tree Branch Defeates the Three Great Dharma Kings (Two Chapters Combined)

These four Dharma Kings of the Dragon Elephant Great Tibetan School, who had been subdued by Luo Zhui Jianzan, did not practice Buddhist doctrines, but they were all furious when they heard Li Fu disdainfully comment on that Buddhist disciple from the Western Paradise.

An angry glint flashed in the eyes of the aged and withered Black Dragon Dharma King, his aura fierce. He cultivated the Black Dragon Demon Subduing Great Handprint, one of the Dragon Elephant Sect's supreme techniques. At this moment, he attacked in anger, his palm strike becoming increasingly heavy and fierce. His palm faintly gleamed with a dark luster, accompanied by a low, piercing sound, as if a black dragon were truly baring its fangs and claws and pouncing.

"How could you, a frog in a well, possibly fathom the supernatural powers and realm of the Mani saint?"

"Our time following the Dharma King has been short, and we have not yet fully grasped the true essence of Buddhism. However, capturing and killing you, this arrogant and ignorant person from the Central Plains, is enough!"

The sinister lama who joined forces with him was the Great Python Dharma King, who practiced the Mohou Luojia Netherworld Palm, a palm technique with cold and vicious power that specializes in attacking meridians and acupoints.

The vicious lama was none other than Garuda Dharma King, wielding the Garuda Crushing Claw, whose claws were as sharp as an eagle's, and whose moves were ruthless, aiming straight for vital points.

The three worked together seamlessly, their attacks flowing like mercury, completely enveloping Li Fu's vital points.

The foolish lama who was entangled by Wang Woyun was the Elephant King Protector, one of the Four Protectors. His Maha Elephant King Technique had reached a state of perfection, making him incredibly strong and possessing powerful true energy, just like an elephant king.

These four protectors of the Dragon Elephant Sect truly lived up to their reputation. Any one of them could rival Wang Woyun, a peerless master from Shenyuan, for a time, and some of them might even surpass him in martial arts.

However, the sight of the three of them joining forces to besiege Li Fu shocked all the onlookers, whether they were members of the Laoshan Sect or the grassland warriors.

Li Fu was caught in the midst of a storm of attacks from three masters. His movements were elusive and divine, sometimes like willow catkins drifting in the wind, and he would dodge deadly claws with a slight sidestep.

Sometimes it stands firm as a rock, effortlessly deflecting attacks with a casual stroke, and sometimes its strikes repel powerful enemies.

He strolled around as if in a leisurely garden, seemingly sparring with the three men to assess their martial arts skills and to observe the style of Western snowy region martial arts.

He unleashed a powerful and surging palm strike, which repelled the Great Python Dharma King.

With another wave of his arm, he deflected the old lama's black dragon handprint several points, causing it to collide with the Great Python Dharma King.

Immediately afterwards, his right hand, with its five fingers slightly bent, like a dragon reaching out with its claws, swiftly grabbed Garuda Dharma King's Garuda Divine Claw wrist. The move was a subtle technique from the Dragon Claw Hand, forcing the opponent to hastily change his move and retreat.

Li Fu's moves were effortless yet exquisite, and he also possessed the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth technique, which allowed his true energy to form an invisible force field.

The force of the three guardians' attack was redirected by him, either canceling each other out or redirecting it to empty space, greatly weakening the power of their combined attack.

Moreover, the white rainbow palm strike he unleashed could bend and straighten at will, bypassing direct block and attacking the opponent from an unbelievable angle.

The palm strikes traced trajectories of varying lengths, as if unleashed by a three-headed, six-armed being.

The onlookers saw Li Fu weaving between the three peerless masters, his palms flashing and his fingers and claws sharp. He moved with effortless grace, as if he were not being attacked by the three, but rather launching a continuous offensive against them all by himself!

His calm and composed demeanor, and his unfathomable martial arts skills, greatly astonished Master Yunqi and Daoist Chongling of the Laoshan Sect.

They figured that if any one of them were in such a situation, they would probably be defeated after only a few moves or even just one move, but Li Fu was handling it with ease and had the upper hand.

"What kind of martial art is this palm technique that can deflect force?"

While Wang Woyun was engaged in fierce combat with the Elephant King Protector, he caught a glimpse of Li Fu's battle from the corner of his eye, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

"I thought I had already witnessed his strength in those three moves, but I didn't expect that he wasn't even going all out!"

His martial arts skills are truly immeasurable!

The three Dharma Kings were shocked. They were confident that even if they faced a universally recognized figure of the highest order in the Central Plains martial arts world, they could defeat him.

But the young constable in front of him moved with the agility of an immortal, his palm strikes were unpredictable, and he also possessed a three-foot-high wall of pure and powerful internal energy that was impossible to resist.

Their chilling, fierce, and vicious palm and claw techniques, when they struck him, were like mud oxen sinking into the sea. They were either blocked by the surging energy wall or drawn away by his strange and miraculous teleportation skills, thus canceling each other out.

He could effortlessly acquire all sorts of exquisite skills that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

After dozens of moves, they not only failed to gain the slightest advantage, but were instead overwhelmed by the opponent's vast, seemingly inexhaustible internal energy and endless exquisite moves.

After a few dozen or forty moves, Li Fu had already mastered the martial arts styles of the three men using the Qiankun Great Shift technique.

The martial arts of the Tibetan Longxiang Dazang School are indeed unique, sometimes fierce and unparalleled, sometimes insidious and treacherous, sometimes ruthless and vicious. They push the body's strength and certain unique energy cultivation methods to a considerable level. In terms of power alone, they are by no means inferior to the supreme martial arts of many famous schools in the Central Plains.

But that's just how it is.

"This is my first time fighting against a master from Tibet. I thought you would give me some surprises."

However, upon closer inspection, the martial arts of the Tibetans did not exceed the scope of Central Plains martial arts; there was nothing particularly remarkable about them.

Li Fu opened his mouth in the exchange.

The Black Dragon Dharma King snorted angrily, "The martial arts of my Tubo are profound and have a long history. How could you, a person from the Central Plains, possibly know them all!"

The vast and profound wisdom of the Dragon and Elephant is beyond your comprehension!

Garuda Dharma King attacked even more fiercely, snorting, "My Garuda Divine Claws can tear gold and shatter iron. When my divine claws land on you, I will skin you alive and tear your bones apart, then you will know how powerful I am!"

The Great Python King, employing cunning and coordinated attacks from the sidelines, said in a sinister tone, "Wait until you defeat us before you spout such boastful words!"

"Is that so?"

Li Fu had lost interest in fighting the three men any longer. His gaze swept over a tree by the roadside whose branches and leaves were still green, and he made a grabbing motion in mid-air towards the willow tree!

An invisible suction force suddenly arose, and with a soft snap, a tender branch about three feet long and as thick as a thumb, still bearing seven or eight tender green leaves, broke off from the tree and flew into Li Fu's palm as if pulled by an invisible thread!

"Alright, I'll use this branch to break all three of your martial arts skills."

Everyone was taken aback.

Li Fu held the lush, verdant branch in his right hand, its leaves still trembling slightly. With a flick of his wrist, the branch swayed gently, like a child's plaything.

After a moment of stunned silence, the three Dharma Kings were immediately enraged. In the snowy land of Tibet, they were worshipped and respected by all. When had they ever been subjected to such extreme contempt?

"Arrogant!"

"court death!"

The three Dharma Kings became even more ferocious in their attacks.

Holding that green branch, Li Fu truly wielded it as if it were an unparalleled sword, unleashing his swordsmanship in a strike that was none other than the Wind-Walking Willow Sword, which had reached its pinnacle!

With the branch in his hand, his demeanor suddenly changed. His previous composure and calmness remained, but he now exuded a lofty sense of superiority and looking down upon all living beings.

He no longer used the Lingbo Weibu technique to dodge the opponent's attack. He took a step forward and thrust the tree branch in his hand straight at the black dragon demon-subduing handprint that the withered old lama was about to strike!

This thrust was simple and direct, without any fancy moves, yet it was faster than anyone could imagine!

The tip of the branch emitted a faint, sharp whistling sound, as if it were not a soft branch, but a divine weapon forged through countless trials!

The Black Dragon Dharma King only felt a flash of green before his eyes, and a sharp and incomparable sword intent that seemed to be able to pierce through everything rushed towards him. His powerful and heavy palm force was actually split in the middle by this simple stab, and his palm force collapsed instantly!

He was terrified and hurriedly withdrew his palm to defend himself. The tip of the branch had already grazed his monk's robe, tearing it open and revealing the skin underneath, where a deep bloodstain appeared.

"What kind of swordsmanship is this?!"

The Black Dragon Dharma King staggered back several steps before regaining his footing. He looked at the bloodstain on his chest, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

Li Fu twisted his wrist, and the tree branch swept across, aiming at the Netherworld Palm that the Great Python Dharma King was silently attacking.

The branch pierced the air, leaving a visible pale blue streak, as if it had cut the air itself apart!

"Um?!"

The Great Python Dharma King felt a sharp force slashing at his waist. The cold and vicious palm force was instantly cut in half upon contact with it, terrifying him so much that his soul almost left his body. He forcibly stopped the attack and leaned back to narrowly avoid it, but his monk's hat was torn off, revealing his bald head, making him look extremely disheveled.

Another sword strike, cleaving straight at the Garuda's Destructive Claw that the Garuda Dharma King had grabbed!

The force with which the branch cleaved downwards carried a faint sound of wind and thunder, as if it weighed a ton!

"what!"

Garuda Dharma King extended both claws, intending to grab the tree branch and break it. However, as soon as his fingertips touched the branch, he felt an irresistible force and a sharp, tangible sword aura surge at the same time. His ten fingers were in excruciating pain, as if gripping a sharp sword. He screamed in agony, his claws were covered in blood, and he staggered backward.

"impossible!"

Li Fu moved with the grace of an immortal, his branch wielding the tree branch to stab, sweep, chop, and strike at will. Each strike carried an overwhelming and unstoppable sword intent and pure internal energy. He wielded the power of a peerless divine weapon with a tender branch, forcing the three to retreat in defeat.

The pure and lofty sword intent spread out.

The three guardians felt that every sword strike from their opponent carried the pressure of the entire natural world, making it difficult for them to breathe and causing their moves to freeze.

Their powerful palm strikes and fierce claw techniques appeared so pale and powerless in the face of these seemingly fragile tree branches, crumbling at the slightest touch!

After only five or six moves, the three were already in a state of chaos, facing imminent danger and on the verge of collapse.

"Go!"

Li Fuqing shouted, and the tree branch in his hand transformed into three streaks of green lightning, striking down almost simultaneously.

This sword strike had no dazzling brilliance, nor any sharp sound of cutting through the air, but a pure and lofty sword intent, seemingly containing the power of heaven and earth, suddenly erupted.

The sword energy was as agile as a spring breeze caressing willows, yet it was also all-pervasive and as swift as lightning.

The Great Python Dharma King felt a slight chill in his chest as the sword energy pierced through his body. He let out a muffled groan, his face turned ashen, and he collapsed with a thud.

Garuda Dharma King roared and blocked with both claws, but the sword energy was both real and illusory, flashing past in an instant. Blood splattered from one of his arms, which was almost completely severed and suddenly fell down.

The Black Dragon Dharma King pushed his Great Handprint to its peak, unleashing a powerful, jet-black palm print. However, the sword energy pierced through it with a hiss, and the remaining force was still strong, sending half of his hand flying out.

He stumbled back several steps and could no longer stand steadily.

However, in the blink of an eye, the three guardians were all defeated: one was dead, one was crippled, and one was seriously injured.

Li Fu stood with his hands behind his back, the branch pointing diagonally to the ground. The branch in his hand was still lush and green, with tender leaves intact. The fierce battle just now had not broken it in the slightest.

The valley was deathly silent.

Everyone was deeply shaken by what they saw, and almost forgot to breathe.

The grassland warriors who were fighting with the Laoshan Sect members were terrified at the sight and slowed down their movements.

The stubborn Elephant King Protector was also shaken and lost his composure. Wang Woyun seized the opportunity and, despite taking a heavy punch, quickly struck him in the chest, forcing him to stagger back several steps, his blood surging, and he knelt on one knee with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Taking the opportunity to deal with the Elephant King Protector, Wang Woyun was also shocked.

Master Yunqi and Daoist Chongling of the Laoshan Sect stared wide-eyed at the ordinary green branch and then at the three guardians who were in a sorry state and had been defeated decisively.

They were also top-notch martial arts masters, but had they ever seen such miraculous skills?

A tender tree branch, in his hands, was more terrifying than a divine weapon. He directly confronted the three great Dharma Kings of Tibet and crushed them as easily as if they were dry leaves!

This is a transformation of decay into magic through pure internal energy and supreme sword intent; it goes beyond simply using flying flowers and plucked leaves to injure people.

The tree branch in his hand seemed to be no ordinary object, but a sword that bore the power of heaven and earth!

ethereal as an immortal, lofty as a god!

This level of attainment is so lofty, it's almost mythical!

When Li Fu's indifferent gaze swept over.

"Go, hurry up!"

The grassland warriors and lamas were terrified, their hands trembling slightly as they gripped their scimitars. They looked at Li Fu as if he were a monster, and then turned and fled.

Several hot-blooded young disciples of Laoshan Mountain, caught up in the excitement of the battle, saw the enemy fleeing and decided to draw their swords and chase after them to wipe them out.

"stop."

Master Yunqi stopped him.

"Don't pursue a cornered enemy; this place is dangerous, be careful of a trap."

Although the disciples were unwilling, they quickly stopped.

Wang Woyun walked over, clutching his chest to steady his churning blood and qi. He was slightly out of breath, and sweat beaded on his forehead. Defeating the incredibly strong Elephant King Protector had taken a lot of his true energy.

"Moreover, if it weren't for your unparalleled sword energy and overwhelming sword intent just now, which chilled this brute to the bone, it would have taken me at least a hundred moves to defeat him."

"Master Woyun is too modest."

Li Fu said something, not paying any attention to the escaped henchmen, his gaze fixed only on the man collapsed on the ground.

The three guardians, their faces ashen, were on their bodies.

The Great Python Protector is dead, but the Black Dragon Dharma King and two others remain.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Li Fu looked down from his high vantage point.

"Speak."

Who instructed you to infiltrate the Central Plains, and what is your purpose?

The entire Taishan Sect was wiped out, but was this your doing?

Starting with martial arts sects, stirring up trouble and plotting against the martial world, in order to prepare for seizing a territory—this kind of tactic sounds very much like the usual tricks of your Mani saint, Lodro Gyaltsen.

The Elephant King Protector was defeated by Wang Woyun. He was the least injured among them. He clutched his chest and said in a deep, stubborn voice, full of resentment.

"Defeat—defeat is defeat!"

Kill us if you want, do you want us to betray the Buddha's disciples?

"Don't even think about it!"
