194: Chapter 194 You Don't Want To Either

Monk Lu Da was truly fierce.

With a flash, he appeared in front of Yuan Chen.

He had even tossed aside his monk's staff, his fists pounding heavily against Yuan Chen.

Of course, Yuan Chen was no slouch either.

Swinging his five claws, he exchanged hundreds of blows with Monk Lu Da in a split second.

At first, Yuan Chen had hoped for a hearty, satisfying fight.

But as the pace quickened, Monk Lu Da could no longer hold his own.

After fighting for a while longer, Monk Lu Da retreated, grimacing, looking somewhat unconvinced.

"If you didn't have one more claw than me, I wouldn't have fallen into a disadvantage at all."

It is often said that two fists are no match for four hands.

He was already at a disadvantage, and now with that extra claw, the feeling was truly different.

Yuan Chen was speechless.

"You really talk too much, damn it."

Two of his claws pinned Monk Lu Da's arms.

The claw on his belly slapped Monk Lu Da's bald head with a loud smack.

Clang!

It sounded just like a bell being struck.

As expected of a monk's head; it carried a hint of Buddhist resonance when struck, making one want to shout "Amitabha."

"Yuan Chen, you've gone too far!"

Monk Lu Da gritted his teeth in anger.

He wiped the blood from his forehead that was obscuring his vision.

He had already suffered such painful strikes several times, and each one hit his forehead.

Now, he felt waves of dizziness in his head.

Yuan Chen couldn't be bothered to care.

"This is a fight, brother!"

"Hah!"

His head was struck again.

Monk Lu Da let out a loud shout.

Sanskrit characters swirled around him, instantly transforming into a thin layer of golden armor.

His combat power soared significantly.

Yuan Chen's eyes lit up.

"He still has a trump card?"

He chuckled faintly.

"Big Brother, your armor isn't as good-looking as mine!"

At the same time, the scales on the Dragon's body radiated golden light.

Monk Lu Da refused to be outdone.

He stimulated the Spiritual Qi within his body once more, and the Sanskrit characters grew even brighter.

Looking from afar, two beams of golden light constantly collided, separated, collided, and separated... they were locked in an intense battle.

"Satisfying, so satisfying!"

Elder Xue Qi looked suspiciously at the shouting Jia Bao.

"What the hell are you so excited about!"

"No matter who fights Yuan Chen, I, Jia Bao, must help out!"

Shouting excitedly, Jia Bao charged straight out.

Elder Xue Qi felt something was wrong as soon as he heard the voice.

He wanted to stop Jia Bao, but it was already too late.

However, he didn't need to stop him either.

It took less than two seconds.

Jia Bao flew back the way he came.

He fell at Elder Xue Qi's feet like a dead dog.

His feet twitched twice, then he went still.

Elder Xue Qi's mouth twitched.

"Why did you have to get involved!"

He helplessly landed to check on him.

Fortunately, he hadn't been beaten to death.

He was a Prodigy after all.

To survive while two people were clashing, even with a difference of a major Realm, was impressive.

Looking at Jia Bao's baby face, he thought, "You really are sick in the head. Who jumps directly into the center of two people's clash when trying to intervene?"

He opened his mouth and silently spat out two words: "Idiot!"

After saying this, he saw that Jia Bao was still unconscious and hadn't opened his eyes, so he turned around with a guilty conscience.

He didn't know when the people from the Sect would arrive.

Intervening now was wrong, and not intervening was also wrong.

Yuan Chen had said he would take Xue Chai back for three months as well.

Once he was done with Monk Lu Da, they would be next.

How were they supposed to deal with that?

"Fight? You want to fight? You still want to fight? Why act tough when you have no skills?"

Towards the end, Monk Lu Da's stamina gradually failed him.

When fighting Yuan Chen, he began to be forced into a passive defense.

He was especially protective of his head.

He didn't know what kind of obsession Yuan Chen had; he just kept targeting his big head.

He was almost beaten to tears.

After teaching him a lesson, Yuan Chen stopped wasting time.

When Monk Lu Da couldn't block in time, the fifth claw on his belly pierced directly through Monk Lu Da's chest.

The fifth claw was the strongest of the five.

Combined with the fact that Monk Lu Da had been constantly defending his head, he hadn't expected Yuan Chen to suddenly change his target.

He had absolutely no chance to dodge.

His face instantly turned pale.

He looked down at Yuan Chen's golden claw in disbelief.

Squish!

Yuan Chen withdrew his claw.

Monk Lu Da's body remained suspended in mid-air for two seconds, then fell weakly to the ground.

Boom!

He smashed heavily onto a volcano.

Yuan Chen clapped his hands.

He beckoned to Liu Shangchui.

"Bring him up."

Liu Shangchui hesitated, acting coy.

"He's so strong, I..."

Yuan Chen waved his hand.

"He has no combat power left at this moment."

Although Liu Shangchui was still a bit worried, under Yuan Chen's gaze, he slowly landed.

He then dragged the unconscious Monk Lu Da to Yuan Chen's side.

"Young Master, could you spare his life?"

Just then, Master Qing Yu stepped forward, looking at Yuan Chen with eyes full of entreaty.

She had wanted to intervene earlier, but neither of them paid her any mind.

Later, seeing their battle scene, she realized she couldn't get involved and had to give up on that plan.

But she couldn't just watch Monk Lu Da die.

As soon as the battle ended, she immediately came forward to plead for him.

Yuan Chen looked at Master Qing Yu with interest.

"Master, that's an interesting thing to say. You and I are not familiar with each other; why should I listen to you and spare his life?"

Master Qing Yu was wearing a purple Daoist robe, her eyebrows knitted together.

Seeing Yuan Chen looking at her, she nervously clasped her small hands together in front of her chest.

"I... I..."

"Please, Young Master, spare Senior Martial Uncle's life. If possible, I am willing to extend the time to make amends for him."

It was their first meeting, and Lin Yu wasn't very familiar with Monk Lu Da either.

But after all, he had just given her a Spirit Treasure; it would be unreasonable not to say a word for him now.

Thinking about the bizarre request Yuan Chen had just made, she tentatively brought it up.

"Do you think I'm easy to talk to?"

Yuan Chen looked at Lin Yu.

This young girl was always cold whenever she spoke to him, as if everyone owed her money.

But with the paleness on her face, strangely, it didn't make people feel disgusted by her; instead, it mostly evoked pity.

Lin Yu was silent for a moment.

"Young Master has misunderstood. I was just suggesting it. If Young Master is unwilling... then never mind."

She glanced at Monk Lu Da in Liu Shangchui's hands.

As for this Senior Martial Uncle, it wasn't that she didn't want to help, but she simply couldn't.

"Just consider it his fate!"

She pursed her lips, lowered her head, and retreated behind her master.

Master Qing Yu frowned, still unable to bear the thought of Monk Lu Da being killed.

Although he was annoying, he had never done anything out of line to her.

"Young Master Yuan, what will it take for you to let him go?"

He cast his gaze upon Master Qing Yu's fair face.

"Bring me that seven-treasure marvelous tree first."

It was originally Monk Lu Da's brother's; although she was a bit reluctant, hearing those words, without waiting for her master to speak, Lin Yu handed the item to Yuan Chen.

Yuan Chen put it into his storage ring and nodded with satisfaction.

Under Master Qing Yu's expectant gaze, he said:

"I can spare his life, but since you are the one vouching for him, Master, you will have to stay for three months just like the two of them. However, you will be serving me, since I was the one bullied by Monk Lu Da."

"..."

"How do you have the face to say you were the one bullied?"

Master Qing Yu hesitated.

Yuan Chen watched her intently.

He hadn't intended to kill Monk Lu Da just like that anyway; he hadn't even taken all the items from him yet.

Master Qing Yu had just happened to bring it up, so he would make reasonable use of it.

It would also speed up his progress.

A few seconds later, seeing that Master Qing Yu was still hesitating, he said, "Master, you wouldn't want this big monk to perish here, would you?"
