Chapter 141 I Just Want to Fight to the Death
"Master Hou!"

Cui Shuyun, Zhu Xiumin, Xia Yu and others came to a distance of two hundred meters away from Zhu Chengwu and bowed in greeting.

Zhu Chengwu could sense that when Xia Yu bowed, there was some uneasiness in his eyes. Zhu Xiumin and Cui Shuyun also seemed to have a hint of guilt in their eyes.

Although Zhu Chengwu is not smart, let alone wise, he is very familiar with Cui Shuyun, Zhu Xiumin, Xia Yu and others. Relying on the power of the master, he can still sense these emotions.

"You're here?! You're here just in time! You guys..."

Unexpectedly, before Zhu Chengwu started to give orders, Wu Se, Wu Xiang and Wu Wo seized the moment when Zhu Chengwu was distracted, looked at each other, and started to act in tacit understanding.

This is a real hostile battle, and the enemy generally won't give you a chance to speak.

Even if they give you the opportunity to speak out of "kindness", they are just waiting for the opportunity and looking for flaws, not out of genuine kindness.

The first one to approach Zhu Chengwu was the Colourless Divine Monk. Relying on his blessed skill of crossing the river on a reed, the Colourless Divine Monk was the first to get three feet in front of Zhu Chengwu.

For the Grandmaster, this distance is too close, it is already a matter of life and death.

Following closely behind was the Selfless Divine Monk. As the Selfless Divine Monk exploded, a three-meter-tall real image of a Buddha appeared around him.

Judging from the appearance of the real shadow of the Buddha, the monk Wuwo had been preparing in secret, which was why he was able to condense such a huge real shadow of the Buddha as soon as he made his move.

"Buddha moves mountains and rivers!"

The monk Wuwo pushed out with one palm, and the real image of Buddha behind him made the same movement. It was the third move of the famous "Tathagata Palm" - Buddha Moves Mountains and Rivers.

"Tathagata Palm" was not created by Bodhidharma, but by an unknown old monk during the Yuan Dynasty's rule over the Central Plains.

However, ever since the exposure of "Tathagata Palm", it has been the magical book that Buddhist temples have been striving for because of its unique real image of Buddha and sound effects of Buddha's voice.

It was not until the chaotic period when the Ming Dynasty replaced the Yuan Dynasty that the "Divine Power Book" was finally seized by the Shaolin Temple.

Since then, "Rulai Palm" has become one of the magical skills of the Ming Shaolin Temple.

The Tathagata Palm is also the support that the selfless monk relies on to become a master and dominate the world.

"Hmph~ Mother Earth Goddess, protector of the earth!"

Although the three great monks seized the opportunity to distract him for a moment, Zhu Chengwu remained calm despite the shock.

Any accidents may happen in a battle. Zhu Chengwu, who has experienced many battles, is no longer a novice in combat!
As Zhu Chengwu practiced the secret technique, the power of the earth and the earth-attributed vitality in the ground beneath his feet continuously flowed into Zhu Chengwu's body.

The real shadow of the female god that overlapped with Zhu Chengwu's figure was constantly reinforced and supplemented.

The Arhat Fist of the Colorless Monk and the Tathagata Palm of the Selfless Monk broke through the surface, causing the real shadow of the female deity that enveloped Zhu Chengwu's body like a piece of clothing to fluctuate violently.

At the same time, Zhu Chengwu did not just passively take the beating.

The purpose of defense is to find opportunities for better counterattacks.

Zhu Chengwu mobilized the true energy in his body and attracted the fire energy around him.

"The Lotus Fire God, the Great Sun True Flame!" The mixed voices of men and women when Zhu Chengwu spoke turned into a trio.

Zhu Chengwu's eyes also turned fiery red.

Zhu Chengwu pointed his ten fingers continuously, and countless flame rays shot out from his ten fingers and eyes, as if he wanted to take away the colorless monk who was close at hand in one wave.

"Golden Bell!"

At the moment Zhu Chengwu attacked, another bald figure suddenly appeared from behind the colorless monk.

But he is a formless monk whose presence has never been strong.

I saw the formless monk take a step forward.

The colorless monk turned around and fell behind the formless monk.

clang clang clang…

Zhu Chengwu's Great Sun True Flame rays were all blocked by the Golden Bell Cover of the Formless Divine Monk.

Not to mention the Colorless Divine Monk hiding behind the Formless Divine Monk, even the Formless Divine Monk was not hurt at all.

Looking at the formless monk right in front of him, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Chengwu's eyes.

I didn't expect that the monk Wuxiang could practice the Golden Bell Cover, one of the four great magical skills of Shaolin Temple, to such a level.

At least it’s at the ninth or tenth level!

Bodhidharma, the founder of Shaolin Temple, left behind four magical skills for the temple, namely Boy's Kung Fu, Golden Bell Cover, Yi Jin Jing and Xi Sui Jing.

Shaolin Boy's Kung Fu is divided into five secrets: [Child's Heart], [White Cloud], [Shooting Star], [Bright Moon] and [Red Sun]!

The Childlike Heart Art corresponds to the lower realm, the White Cloud Art corresponds to the upper realm, the Meteor Art and the Bright Moon Art correspond to the first-rate realm, and the last Red Sun Art and the ultimate secret, the Boy's Golden Body, correspond to the grandmaster level.

Because the Shaolin Boy's Kung Fu was achieved by Bodhidharma when he was a teenager, its power is slightly weaker. The final Red Sun Secret is only equivalent to the lower level of the Grandmaster, and the ultimate secret Boy's Golden Body is only equivalent to the middle level of the Grandmaster.

Yi Jin Jing and Xi Sui Jing complement each other. One can achieve mastery through Yi Jin Jing, and after achieving mastery, one can switch to Xi Sui Jing as the main skill. With the help of Yi Jin Jing and Xi Sui Jing, the combination of Yi Jin Jing and Xi Sui Jing is enough to break through all the barriers to becoming a supreme master (grand master). Moreover, once a supreme master (grand master) is achieved, the combat power will never be bad, relying on the addition of Yi Jin Jing and Xi Sui Jing to Buddhist martial arts.

As the only unique martial art among the four great magical skills left by Bodhidharma, the power of the Golden Bell Cover is even more astonishing.

It is easy to get started with the Golden Bell Cover, but it is extremely difficult to practice it to the highest level.

According to ancient legend, the Golden Bell Cover is divided into twelve levels. The first level is equivalent to farming skills. The second and third levels have the power of basic martial arts. The fourth, fifth and sixth levels have the power of superior skills. The seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth levels are within the scope of unique martial arts. The ultimate secret of the Boy's Kung Fu, the Boy's Golden Body, is equivalent to the ninth level of the Golden Bell Cover. The first body protection magic skill circulated in the Ming Dynasty martial arts world, the Vajra Indestructible Magic Skill, is equivalent to the tenth level of the Golden Bell Cover.

It is just because it is easy to master the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, but difficult to break through the tenth level of the Golden Bell Cover, so the first body-protecting divine art falls to the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art.

Over the past thousand years, except for Bodhidharma, the founder of Shaolin Temple, who reached the twelfth level of the Golden Bell Cover, no eminent monk in the Shaolin Temple has ever achieved the eleventh or twelfth level of the Golden Bell Cover.

Not to mention the eleventh and twelfth levels, even the tenth level of the Golden Bell Cover is achieved by very few people.

Zhu Chengwu did not expect that the silent Wuxiang Divine Monk, who had the weakest reputation among the three great monks, seemed to have cultivated the Golden Bell Cover to the tenth level.

It really is the Shaolin Temple with a thousand years of heritage, it should not be underestimated!

Zhu Chengwu rolled his eyes and quickly moved away from the formless monk and the colorless monk in front of him.

“Ghost Mother, Shijie, keep an eye on Fangyuan and Fangzheng. Shuyun, Xiumin, take the rest of the men and keep an eye on the other masters in Yantai Pass. Don’t let them suddenly interfere in the fight between me and the three Shaolin monks. Even if we can’t keep an eye on them, we have to hold them back for a while to give me time to react!”

The figure retreated, and the person was in the air, and the sound of Zhu Chengwu's trio arrangement sounded.

This time, Zhu Chengwu's trio seemed very urgent, and he finished all the words in an instant, but to the ears of the people around him, the sounds, although hurried, were still clearly audible, without any confusion or inaudibility.

This is Zhu Chengwu’s current ability.

In a real battle, your opponent won't wait for you to make arrangements before attacking you.

The opponent will seize every opportunity to gain the upper hand.

In order to arrange things properly and then concentrate on fighting the enemy, Zhu Chengwu needs to find opportunities himself.

Right in front of us is the opportunity that Zhu Chengwu has found.

As Zhu Chengwu's orders sounded, Zhu Xiumin, Xia Yu and others who had just seen the sudden attack by the three great monks Wu Se, Wu Xiang and Wu Wo, who wanted to support Zhu Chengwu, stopped taking just two or three steps.

Their movements were truly too slow. Zhu Chengwu and the three great monks had already exchanged their ultimate moves and changed their bodies, but they had only taken two or three steps.

Only then could the air be filled with their exclamations and warnings after seeing the three great monks' sneak attack.

It's not that they are holding back, but they are afraid of attracting the attention of the three great monks and being targeted by them, so they deliberately hold back the reminder.

But their reactions simply couldn't keep up with the actions of Zhu Chengwu and the three great monks.

The gap between first-rate and master is much greater than the gap between entry-level and first-rate!

After all, those below the Grandmaster level are still within human reach, but the Grandmaster is no longer human!
Otherwise, the Grandmaster would not have become the ultimate combat force and nuclear deterrent of various forces.

As the sound of the arrangement was made, Zhu Chengwu landed on the ground. Wu Se, Wu Xiang, Wu I saw Zhu Chengwu retreating, and was worried that Zhu Chengwu was going to escape, so he hurried to follow.

With Zhu Chengwu's talent and performance, the future belongs to Zhu Chengwu.

The three great monks, Wu Se, Wu Xiang and Wu Wo, can only take this opportunity to send away Zhu Chengwu, the contemporary martial arts legend who threatens the current situation.

"Everyone in Fu'an Marquis' Mansion, just keep an eye on Fang Yuan, Fang Zheng and the experts from Yantai Pass. Don't try to interfere in the fight between me and the three great monks. Not only will that only increase casualties, but it will also be of no help to me! Also, don't be left alone. None of you can defeat Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng alone. Be careful that others won't be able to rescue you in time..."

Zhu Chengwu continued to retreat, and the sound of a rapid trio arrangement came from farther and farther away.

"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

Red Flower Ghost Mother, Li Shijie, Cui Shuyun, Zhu Xiumin and others looked at each other and responded silently.

This time, they did not bow in the direction Zhu Chengwu left.

Because the two Zen masters Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng are not far away!

Now is not the time to sit back and relax.

The reason why Cui Shuyun and Zhu Xiumin dared to bow and salute Zhu Chengwu when they arrived just now was because Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng were watched by the Red Flower Ghost Mother and Li Shijie.

But now, everyone, including Red Flower Ghost Mother and Li Shijie, has been named by Zhu Chengwu.

In order to be careful and avoid accidents, none of them had to salute Zhu Chengwu!

They should focus most of their attention on Fang Yuan, Fang Zheng and the Yantai Pass guard who could be seen from afar inside the Yantai Pass.

"What should we do? Should we chase them? Without us to support them, Master and the two uncles might encounter accidents! After all, this fight was initiated by Marquis Fu'an. Who knows if Marquis Fu'an has other plans?" The abbot of Shaolin was looking at Zhu Chengwu and the three great monks who were moving away, and asked Fang Yuan for his opinion.

Although Fang Zheng is the abbot of Shaolin, Fang Yuan is the master.

When it comes to the management of Shaolin secular affairs, Fang Zheng has a huge say, even more than the temple's grandmaster.

But when it comes to the Grandmasters’ battle, Fang Zheng does not have as much say as Fang Yuan.

"Chase!"

Fang Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

What Fang Zheng said was exactly what Fang Yuan was worried about.

This time, Marquis Fu'an knew that there was an "ambush" inside Yantai Pass, and after sensing that something was wrong, he still took the initiative to show up and challenge the enemy.

They couldn't help but think more carefully.

"Let's follow too!"

Red Flower Ghost Mother and Li Shijie looked at each other, and followed Fang Zheng and Fang Yuan tacitly.

They did not take any action to stop Fang Zheng and Fang Yuan's actions.

Through the previous fight, they already understood that no matter whether it was one-on-one or two-on-two, they were no match for Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng.

Not only would it be humiliating to try to keep them, but it would also be impossible to keep Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng, who were determined to leave.

They just need to follow Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng and prevent them from suddenly interfering in the battle between Zhu Chengwu and the three great monks.

This was also Zhu Chengwu's arrangement for them.

Although they were entangled for a while, as junior masters, they were still confident that they could do it.

Although they were also worried about whether Zhu Chengwu, who had just achieved the status of a grandmaster, could fight against the three great monks of Shaolin Temple on his own, the combat power of Fu'an Marquis' Mansion was limited now, and they could only believe that Zhu Chengwu, the Marquis of Fu'an and the martial arts legend, could continue to create miracles.

"What should we do? Should we catch up or stay here and watch over the commander of Yantai Pass!"

Seeing Red Flower Ghost Mother and Li Shijie leave, Zhu Xiumin fell into hesitation.

It was very difficult for them, the first-rate ones, to keep up with Zhu Chengwu and the three great monks. As Zhu Chengwu said before he left, intervening in the battle between Zhu Chengwu and the three great monks would only increase casualties and be useless.

But they cannot interfere with the battle between Zhu Chengwu and the three great monks, but they can assist Red Flower Ghost Mother and Li Shijie to delay Shaolin Grandmaster Fang Yuan and Shaolin Abbot Fang Zheng!

By then, it might become the crucial straw that affects the final outcome of the battle between Zhu Chengwu and the three great monks!

But once they leave, what will happen to the Yantai Pass guards and others in front of them?
If they leave, once the Yantai Pass guards and others raid the Fu'an Marquis's main force, then...

Moreover, Zhu Chengwu's arrangement before leaving was to have them keep an eye on the Yantai Pass commander and other experts.

"Everyone, as the Marquis said, must not disperse!

Form a formation and follow the traces left by the battle between the Marquis and the three bald monks of Shaolin!"

Cui Shuyun thought for a moment and gave the order.

"Yes, ma'am!"

Everyone bowed in response.

This time, Cui Shuyun took the lead in changing Zhu Chengwu's decision and led them to reinforce Zhu Chengwu, the Marquis of Fu'an.

Not only was he not scolded by Zhu Chengwu!

Zhu Chengwu's praise came at the right time, which made the masters on the scene more obedient to Cui Shuyun's orders.

Moreover, those who follow Zhu Chengwu are people who like to bet on the future.

Zhu Chengwu represents the future, but Cui Shuyun, Zhu Chengwu’s wife, may also represent the future of the future with her belly.

Amid the orderly and peaceful responses, only Zhu Xiumin seemed a little hesitant.

"Don't worry! Once we leave, the commander of Yantai Pass will not just stand there and watch!
We want to do our best to help you achieve the final victory!

The same goes for the guards at Yantai Pass!
They will not sit idly by and let us chase after the Marquis and the three great monks, watching us increase the possibility of the Marquis's final victory, even if that possibility is only a slight one.

As long as we move, they will definitely move too!

We all understand that the final outcome of this battle is not determined by us top leaders, nor by the soldiers, nor by whether Yantai Pass is breached, but by the outcome of the battle between the Marquis and the three great monks!

Once the Marquis fails, it will be the same whether Yantai Pass is broken or not!

Once the Marquis succeeds, Yantai Pass will be broken even if it is not broken!"

Cui Shuyun spoke to comfort Zhu Xiumin.

After more than three years of "intimate" interactions, Cui Shuyun has a deep understanding of Zhu Xiumin.

Cui Shuyun was also well aware of Zhu Xiumin's psychological changes.

Cui Shuyun knew that Zhu Xiumin was worried about the guard under her command.

She was afraid that as they left, the guard of Yantai Pass would lead his troops to raid the garrison camp of the Marquis of Fu'an's mansion, causing her guard, which she had worked so hard to recruit and train, to suffer heavy losses in the absence of a leading general and first-class warriors to contain the enemy's strongmen.

"Of course I believe in your judgment!"

Although no one knows what Zhu Xiumin is thinking deep in her heart, on the surface Zhu Xiumin agrees with Cui Shuyun's subsequent explanation.

As Cui Shuyun finished speaking, the hesitation on Zhu Xiumin's face immediately disappeared.

The final development of facts was not beyond Cui Shuyun's expectations!

As Cui Shuyun, Zhu Xiumin and dozens of other top-notch masters from the Fu'an Marquisate left following the traces of the battle between Zhu Chengwu and the three great monks, the commander of Yantai Pass also brought a few of his trusted aides and followed closely behind them.

Not far nor near!
In this way, Zhu Chengwu and the three great monks fought and moved all the way, the two Zen masters Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng followed behind, and the Red Flower Ghost Mother and Li Shijie followed closely behind Fang Zheng and Fang Yuan...Further away, Cui Shuyun, Zhu Xiumin and other people from Fu'an Marquis Mansion followed the traces of the battle between Zhu Chengwu and the three great monks, and the Yantai Pass guard was hanging behind Cui Shuyun, Zhu Xiumin and other people from Fu'an Marquis Mansion with his confidants.
