300: Chapter 300 Shameless Scoundrel

Li Xuanfeng's gaze turned cold as he understood the situation. This monk appeared dignified and holy, but in reality, he was a complete hypocrite—a fake Buddha who resorted to robbery while insisting on finding a high-sounding excuse!

"I discovered this item first. For a Great Master to seize it by force is somewhat beneath the dignity of a monk."

Li Xuanfeng spoke in a heavy voice. Inside his body, the Emperor-grade Cultivation Technique, the Taixu Transformation Dao Scripture, began to circulate quietly, raising his aura to its Peak.

His opponent was in the King Realm; he did not dare to be the slightest bit careless.

"Dignity?"

Fakong shook his head with a light chuckle, but his gaze gradually sharpened, carrying a hint of condescending scrutiny.

"Benefactor, you are too attached to appearances. All things in this world are destined by karmic fate. This item has a destiny with me, so it is mine. It was not easy for you to reach your current cultivation level, Benefactor; do not delude yourself. Would it not be a pity to lose your life for the sake of a mere external object?"

Before his voice had even faded, the Buddhist light around him surged violently, and his King Realm pressure bore down on Li Xuanfeng like a mountain!

At the same time, he formed a Buddhist seal with his hand and struck out with a palm!

"Great Compassion Hand!"

A massive golden Buddhist palm print appeared out of thin air, the 'swastika' symbol spinning in its center. It carried a terrifying power intended to deliver all living beings but also to suppress everything as it enveloped Li Xuanfeng!

This palm strike seemed compassionate but was actually ruthless, intending to suppress Li Xuanfeng along with the star vein orchid!

Li Xuanfeng's pupils constricted, knowing he could not face it head-on!

His long sword left its sheath, the sword light flowing like the Great Void, tracing out smooth, circular trajectories in an attempt to break force with skill and deflect the majestic palm power!

"Taixu Sword Transformation, Defend!"

Boom!

The sword light and the Buddhist palm print collided violently!

Li Xuanfeng felt an irresistible surge of immense force. His blood and Qi churned, and with a muffled groan, his body was sent flying uncontrollably.

He barely managed to right himself in mid-air and landed on the ground, staggering back a dozen steps before stabilizing. A trace of blood leaked from the corner of his mouth.

The gap between the Late Stage King Realm and the Heavenly Human Realm was simply too vast!

Even with his solid Foundation and superb swordsmanship, it was difficult to bridge the chasm of a major Realm, especially since his opponent was a peerless Prodigy capable of fighting above his level!

"Oh? You actually survived a palm strike from me?"

The surprise in Fakong's eyes deepened, which then transformed into even greater greed and killing intent.

"Benefactor, your Cultivation Technique is peculiar, and your Foundation is the sturdiest this humble monk has ever seen! It seems you possess a great Opportunity!

Why not follow me back to the Western Regions, take refuge in the Buddha, and listen to the sublime Dharma? Only then can the karmic hindrances upon you be resolved!"

He had actually seen through the extraordinary nature of Li Xuanfeng's technique and wanted to capture him to force a confession!

Just as Fakong thought victory was within his grasp and reached out to take the star vein orchid—

A sudden change occurred!

A sharp light flashed in Li Xuanfeng's eyes. Forcing a breath of True Qi, his body lunged forward like a bolt of lightning!

Ignoring his injuries, he moved with the speed of a thunderclap to snatch the star vein orchid from the rock crevice a step ahead of the monk!

"What?!"

The compassionate smile on Fakong's face instantly froze, replaced by a look of shock and fury!

He never expected that the other party, while injured, would dare to perform such an act of snatching food from a tiger's mouth!

"Farewell!"

The moment Li Xuanfeng succeeded, he did not linger. Using the momentum of his charge, he exerted his movement technique to the fullest, turning into a streak of green light and fleeing madly toward the exit of the canyon!

"You seek death!"

Fakong completely tore off his mask of hypocrisy. His face turned cold, and the killing intent in his eyes surged!

To have an Opportunity snatched from his hands by a junior in the Heavenly Human Realm was an absolute humiliation!

"Om!"

He chanted a mantra. His body became like a golden meteor, moving with incredible speed as he gave chase!

With a flick of his fingers, sharp beams of Buddhist light shot toward Li Xuanfeng's back like raindrops!

Up ahead, Li Xuanfeng's footsteps shifted as if he had merged with the wind. In the blink of an eye, he wove through the dense Buddhist light, instantly widening the distance between them by a hundred feet!

"Hmm?!"

Fakong's pupils shrank slightly, and for the first time, a look of clear astonishment appeared on his face.

The opponent's sudden burst of speed, especially that exquisite movement technique containing Dao Rhyme, far exceeded his expectations!

"What a profound movement technique! To actually evade this monk's Bodhi Finger and instantly pull away?"

The greed in his eyes instantly intensified, nearly overflowing.

"It seems the secrets you carry are far more than just these! This technique shares similar wonders with the Buddhist Divine Foot Transcendence; I shall have this movement technique as well!"

Fakong let out a long whistle, the Buddhist light around him brightening again. His speed increased by another thirty percent as he relentlessly pursued Li Xuanfeng's increasingly elusive figure!

His desire to kill and seize the treasure had reached its Peak... Li Xuanfeng moved like a swimming fish, using the naturally formed illusory miasma in the valley to constantly change direction. Although these environments could not harm Fakong,

They were enough to briefly interfere with a King Realm Divine Sense's precise lock, repeatedly winning him moments to catch his breath.

Soon, the news of Li Xuanfeng being heavily injured by the Late Stage King Realm Fakong, escaping, and being pursued all the way spread like a boulder thrown into a lake, causing even greater waves in the Eastern Region.

"Have you heard? That Green Robe Guest has done something big again! He actually snatched a Spiritual Plant right from the hands of the Buddhist Son of the Western Regions, Fakong!"

"It's more than just snatching it! I heard he traded several blows with Fakong. Although he was injured, he actually managed to escape! Fakong is currently hunting him across the world!"

"A Middle Stage Heavenly Human Realm escaping from a Late Stage King Realm? This is simply inconceivable! The Green Robe Guest's survival ability and combat adaptability are just too terrifying!"

In restaurants and tea houses, countless Cultivators discussed the matter, their voices filled with unbelievable amazement.

Li Xuanfeng's reputation as the Green Robe Guest soared once again because of this incident, nearly solidifying his status as a top-tier Prodigy.

Being able to contend with a figure like Fakong while only at the Heavenly Human Realm was enough to prove his terrifying potential.

However, many people also held a pessimistic view.

"Hmph, don't celebrate too early. Fakong is the Buddhist Son of this generation from the Mount Sumeru Ancient Monastery in the Western Regions. His Late Stage King Realm cultivation is the real deal, and his Divine Abilities are vast! To be targeted by him, if you don't die, you'll at least lose a layer of skin!"

"Exactly. The Green Robe Guest can run for a moment, but can he run for a lifetime? Is a King Realm's Divine Sense lock something to be trifled with?

In my opinion, it's only a matter of time before he's caught. When that happens, I'm afraid his luck will run out."

"What a pity. A Prodigy with infinite potential—if he falls here, it would be a great loss for our Eastern Region..."

Public opinion was in an uproar; some marveled at Li Xuanfeng's strength and courage, while others worried about his fate.

While the outside world was buzzing with discussion, amazement, and concern for the Green Robe Guest's fate, an anxious figure rushed onto Zizhu Peak in a flurry.

"Outrageous! Simply outrageous!"

Before the person had even come to a halt, his cursing arrived first.

"Those old bald donkeys from the Western Regions! Look at what kind of trash they've taught!

A dignified Late Stage King Realm Buddhist Son, a top Prodigy of the Western Regions, actually has the gall to shamelessly hunt down a Heavenly Human Realm Disciple of my sect?!

What is this? Blatant bullying of the weak by the strong! The height of shamelessness!"

He was so angry his beard was nearly curling up as he paced back and forth in the courtyard.

"Junior Brother! Tell me, can we endure this? That child Xuan Feng is so honest! He went down the mountain to gain experience and was as low-key as a Loose Cultivator, yet he was still targeted?

It must be that bald donkey seeing a treasure and wanting to seize the Opportunity! No, this cannot be left like this!"

Xuan Yangzi stopped abruptly, leaned in toward Gu Changge, and lowered his voice, a ruthless expression appearing on his face.

"Junior Brother, how about I quietly make some arrangements? Let Junior Brother Shi or Junior Brother Ye take a trip, find a deserted place, and secretly do away with that bald donkey?"

He made a throat-slitting gesture, his eyes fierce.

His protective nature was plain to see.
