424: Chapter 424 The Master and Disciple's Scheme

Han Jingyang struck with a lethal blow.

He felt immensely satisfied.

Seeing the aura of the Martyrs' Cemetery and other buildings directly opposite the Maitreya Victory Garden instantly suppress the Maitreya Victory Garden, he felt even better.

This was exactly the effect he wanted.

Regardless of what happens in the future, at least the Qi meridian is now unblocked.

The next step should be to completely eradicate this tumor.

Moreover, because the effect of this strike was so good, the next phase of work would be much smoother.

No matter which direction the next phase of work is approached from, it will be easier than before.

What is this called?

This is what they call overwhelming force defeats ten thousand techniques.

When one's strength reaches a certain level, direct and straightforward methods are often more efficient.

Han Jingyang put away the big drum, deactivated the Manifestation of Holiness attribute, turned his head, and looked at Monk Delin: "Old Monk, how was my strike?"

Old Monk Delin swallowed hard, pressed his palms together: "Amitabha, this is the strongest strike this monk has ever seen."

"The strongest?"

"The strongest," Monk Delin said without hesitation: "Stronger than the move my master used when he perished together with the strongest expert of the Japanese invaders, Yagyu Changsheng. Much stronger. Mr. Han, your strength in the current cultivation world is absolutely among the best."

Han Jingyang laughed triumphantly: "No, no, no, it's still lacking a bit. It's all thanks to the dharma instrument. You could do the same if you used that dharma instrument. In terms of true skill, I'm not even as good as your disciple."

Monk Delin shook his head: "Theoretically yes, but in reality, who cares about that? You use a dharma instrument, they also use dharma instruments. They won't stop using dharma instruments just because you are empty-handed. Everyone is using dharma instruments; your dharma instrument is stronger, so your strength is greater. No one will distinguish between strength with and without dharma instruments. This is a life-and-death struggle, not a martial arts tournament. The winner... is king."

Monk Kongyun also praised: "Mr. Han's strength is truly beyond words. It's just that it struck the bronze statue; if it had struck a person, they would have been turned to ashes, right? No one could withstand such a strike, including that Tian Chunming from before."

Monk Delin nodded: "Indeed, no one could withstand this strike. If there were, they must have a high-grade dharma instrument as assistance. Relying solely on personal strength, it is completely impossible to withstand such a strong attack."

"So I feel Mr. Han can really compete for the throne of the number one expert."

"Indeed, but it's just an empty name; it's better not to compete for it. Mr. Han is not the type of person who covets superficial fame."

"That is true, but in any case, Mr. Han has helped a great deal. Master, don't you think we should properly express our gratitude?"

"This is only right," Monk Delin said, bowing to Han Jingyang again: "Mr. Han, please come up the mountain; this monk has other generous rewards for you."

Han Jingyang waved his hand: "Alright, alright, this wasn't for you. This was for the millions of people in Quancheng, and also for me and my family. How could I accept your thank-you gifts again?"

"This is not to thank you, but to compensate for the wear and tear of your dharma instrument. I heard from Kongyun that your dharma instrument has a limit on the number of uses, and every opportunity to use it is quite precious. How can this monk stand by and not show some appreciation?"

Han Jingyang's attitude was firm, and he waved his hand without looking back: "Alright, I said no, so no. I am just that kind of person; what is owed to me cannot be a cent less, and what is not owed to me, I don't want a single cent."

After speaking, he led Liu Jing and Yang Jinyuan straight down the mountain, shouting at the same time: "I'll stop by the Maitreya Victory Garden on the way. Old Monk, if you have any thoughts, communicate them in time. I won't be polite when dealing with the Japanese invaders, and there will be no charge in the future; just give me a heads-up."

Monk Delin pressed his palms together and bowed to the backs of the three people, Han Jingyang.

Only after the backs of Han Jingyang and the others disappeared into the dense forest did Old Monk Delin heave a sigh of relief, staggering and almost falling.

Monk Kongyun hurriedly supported his master: "Master, what's wrong?"

Monk Delin sat down directly on the steps, panting while disregarding his image, lifting his cassock to wipe his sweat: "Too strong, this Han Jingyang is truly too strong."

Monk Kongyun nodded: "Indeed, very strong. I have had contact with him several times, and each time he is stronger than the last. Last night in Xipo Village, I saw it with my own eyes. At that time, facing I don't know how many Qi dragons rushing towards us, I thought we would surely die. I didn't expect him to summon a huge mountain with a glance back. That mountain was like Mount Tai, covering us, and we were instantly safe and sound. It was simply incredible."

"Indeed incredible, but for someone who can bring the dead back to life, mastering some miraculous spells is normal."

"But every time I see or even hear about it, my heart surges and my blood boils."

"Indeed, counting his major actions since he debuted, the strength displayed each time is terrifyingly strong: Zhenwu Descends to Earth, Guan Gong Manifestation, One Sword Frosty Fourteen Provinces, Sword God Possession, Gathering Qi into a Mountain, Great Sun Light, and today's Thunder and Fire Pincer Attack. Each is more powerful than the last, and each is more domineering than the last."

"So Master, we were right to build a good relationship with him, right?"

"That's right, this move was correct. We aren't asking for anything else, just not to be annexed. These days are not easy; with such a strong person looking out for us, whoever wants to make things difficult for us will have to think carefully."

"I really don't know how he cultivates to be able to refine such powerful dharma instruments. It's simply outrageous. And it's not just strong, it's also very diverse; he has everything. I now doubt whether there is anything in this world that he cannot do."

"Whether there is or not, it doesn't change the fact that he is extremely strong. In the future, absolutely do not cross him. Not only must you not cross him, but when encountering issues, you must decisively stand on his side."

Monk Kongyun was stunned: "Unconditionally?"

Old Monk Delin nodded heavily: "Unconditionally."

Then he explained: "People like him will never lack followers. Look at Xu Xin and Zhou Changzhu; their strength is mediocre, but they follow Han Jingyang single-mindedly, and now they have achieved the Dao, right? After equipping a few dharma instruments, their combat power just shot up. So, our presence doesn't add much, and our absence doesn't take away much, but if we don't seize this opportunity, it would be a great pity."

"Will we be implicated?"

"Isn't that just right? The deeper we are involved, the better he will treat us," Monk Delin smiled: "He is a good person, a good person in the pure sense. If you treat him well, he will definitely repay you tenfold or a hundredfold."

Monk Kongyun quickly said: "Master, I know what to do."

"Mm, from now on, all the daily and management work of Xingguo Zen Temple will be handed over to you."

"Master, you..."

"I want to cultivate. Just now, I felt a power that shocks the original self from the big drum Han Jingyang took out. With the original self vibrating, I have had some realizations. I will go into seclusion tonight."

"Congratulations, Master."

Jiguang Zhai.

Han Jingyang hooked his finger: "Let me see how the gifts the big monks gave you two are."

Liu Jing and Yang Jinyuan quickly placed the pendants into Han Jingyang's hands.

Han Jingyang looked at them carefully and nodded.

Indeed not bad.

They were both small pendants made of mutton-fat jade. They weren't big in size, but the price wasn't cheap either. Just these two little things couldn't be bought for less than one million.

Moreover, these were dharma instruments blessed by the big monks.

More importantly, they could both be appraised.

Appraisal.

Huh?

There's actually a top-grade item?

Han Jingyang looked up at Yang Jinyuan: "You are really lucky."

Yang Jinyuan was confused: "Why do you say that?"

"This little pendant is very powerful."

"Really?"

"Mm, not only can it nourish the body, but it also comes with a skill."
