Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 608 - 243: Jianan Temple’s Ambush (Part 3)

Having spent years mingling with those clan soldiers, he’d long developed a roguish nature.

Later, he was thrown into the Clan Court by Shen Wenxing, where Lu Zhiyuan drilled him for over a year.

Only now, with age, had he realized the burdens on his shoulders, becoming somewhat steadier.

Today, pressed by this Monk Hui Kong, his roguish nature resurfaced again.

"A bunch of damn bastards, my Shen Family still hasn’t settled the account with you for the twenty thousand common people in the four towns of Xingyang back then!"

"Beasts are merely beasts, don’t think that just because you wear human skin and bear a sickeningly fake smile, Grandpa can’t see your true faces!"

His hands never stopped moving through techniques, while his mouth unleashed a torrent of verbal assaults.

Shen Chonghong realized today he was unlikely to survive, so he might as well indulge in verbal jabs.

Although Monk Hui Kong could easily withstand his attacks with his cultivation at the Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm, he couldn’t stop those foul words from piercing his ears.

Unfortunately, before coming here, his senior brother has particularly advised that it’s best to capture him alive, using the Seed of Destiny Transformation Scripture to enlighten Shen Chonghong, thereby potentially seizing the Shen Family’s fortune and luck through secret techniques.

"Such a sharp-tongued brat!"

"Once I subdue you, I’ll be sure to cut out your tongue!"

Agitated by the insults, Monk Hui Kong flared with golden light, repelling the spear strikes pouring down like a torrential rain, thrusting his palm swiftly out!

In an instant, a giant golden hand slammed fiercely towards Shen Chonghong!

"What, you’re dropping the pretense now?"

"You’re nothing but cannibalistic monsters, what’s the point in pretending to be compassionate?"

"If reincarnation truly exists, you bunch of bald monks deserve to be beasts in your next life!"

"Even beasts are a thousand times better than you!"

As Shen Chonghong hurled curses, he stirred his spiritual power, growing two sharp fiery wings from his back!

The fiery blades whipped upward, slashing swiftly toward the golden hand!

Clang!

Clang!

The fiery blades struck fiercely against the giant golden palm, only to explode into a burst of sparks without leaving a scratch.

Seeing this, Shen Chonghong’s expression shifted slightly.

This fiery technique, known as Phoenix Clamp, was his most potent technique.

Previously, when facing the thick-skinned Black Rock Snake in Huaisang County, its hard scales were sliced like tofu by the Phoenix Clamp.

Yet now it couldn’t do anything against this casual Buddhist Technique from Hui Kong.

"Heh heh..."

"This humble monk has refined himself to Perfection of Void Observation, my friend, it’s better not to resist stubbornly."

"You’d better come willingly with this monk..."

"Baldy, do you have a mother?"

Holding back the descending golden hand with his White Bone Long Spear, Shen Chonghong suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Monk Hui Kong’s expression froze.

But before he could respond, Shen Chonghong laughed, "Forget it, you’re already so old, even if you had a mother, she’d be old and ugly. I’m not interested in that..."

As he spoke, a fierce glint flickered in Shen Chonghong’s eyes!

Boom!

Fire suddenly erupted around him, his entire being transformed into a deity within the flames!

"You’re actually burning your Foundation of the Immortal Embryo!?"

"You must be insane!"

"Even if you escape this, your cultivation will be completely crippled!"

Seeing Shen Chonghong’s sudden surge in power, Hui Kong could tell at a glance that he’d ignited his Foundation of the Immortal Embryo.

To an Immortal Dao Cultivator, the Foundation of the Immortal Embryo is the root of cultivation, akin to the roots of a towering ancient tree.

Burning the Foundation, although increasing a cultivator’s strength immensely for a short period, is a destructive measure causing permanent harm.

With the foundation damaged, reaching the Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm again in this life is unlikely.

Let alone achieving the Golden Core stage later.

"I choose to..."

Bathed in scarlet flames, Shen Chonghong grinned, mustering strength with his spear to repel the golden hand pressing down on him.

Feeling the surging power within, a fierce battle intent flashed in his eyes as he fixed his gaze on Monk Hui Kong in the distance, saying, "Now, let me see what tricks you bald monks have got!"

The moment his voice echoed, his figure transformed into a blaze of fire, charging straight ahead!

As his White Bone Long Spear swung, fiery dragons roared and spiraled, opening their terrifying maws to gnaw at Monk Hui Kong!

Witnessing this, a chill crept into Monk Hui Kong’s expression.

"With your Foundation of the Immortal Embryo damaged, you aren’t of much value anymore."

"I need not hold back, might as well slay you now and take your body back to refine a Blood Pill."

During his speech, a massive golden bell phantom materialized around him, blocking Shen Chonghong’s attack while he formed a seal with his hand, sending a gigantic golden fist crashing towards Shen Chonghong!

Feeling the aura of the golden fist several times stronger than the previous golden hand, Shen Chonghong suddenly withdrew his spear, abandoning resistance.

"Want my flesh body?"

"Not a chance..."

This golden fist carried fearsome might, his body directly taking it would surely explode on impact.

Better for his blood and flesh to scatter in this realm than to let that bald monk use it for alchemy.

Seeing Shen Chonghong’s resolute reaction, Monk Hui Kong’s face shifted slightly.

A Blood Pill refined from a mid-stage Fetal Breathing cultivator was worth thousands of ordinary common people, and yet it was about to go to waste, a painful loss indeed.

But things unfolded too abruptly, and he couldn’t retract his hands now even if he wanted to.

While Monk Hui Kong regretted, a fiery arrow suddenly appeared not far from his face!
