Chapter 987: Chapter 987: Vajra Palm VS Heavenly Dragon Seal
Even the void trembled, subtly distorting and cracking.
The vast and heavy aura caused the surrounding void to stagnate; as the terrifying Jin Gang Palm pressed down towards Ye Luo, it seemed as if the air in the void around him had been evacuated, forming a vacuum zone.
Ye Luo’s body hair bristled, his pupils contracted, and his expression became incredibly solemn. The power of this palm gave him a strong sense of oppression, far surpassing the strength of the second punch of his Nine Yang Divine Fist.
This guy really is defying the heavens!
"Master!"
At this moment, Huo Ji saw this scene, her expression changed, and she could not help but speak, obviously intending to make a move.
"No need!"
Ye Luo shouted sternly, his face grave.
Imperial Dragon Art!
Ye Luo abruptly executed the long-unused Imperial Dragon Art, exuding a forceful aura from his entire body.
This set of Imperial Dragon Art, which he had obtained from the Imperial Jade Seal, had been his strongest move at the time. However, Ye Luo had since acquired a series of exceptional techniques and rarely used the Imperial Dragon Art afterwards.
But there was no doubt that this technique was still one of the strongest cards up his sleeve, especially the last three moves which he was still unable to perform, indicating their immense power.
Dragon Seal!
This time, Ye Luo directly executed the fourth seal of the Imperial Dragon Art, the Dragon Seal.
He had only used this move once before, at the engagement ceremony of Ji Lingtian and Qin Yuru. With the strength of the Innate Realm, he had almost killed Ji Lingtian, who possessed the power of the fourth level of the Saint Realm, showing the might of this move.
Now, Ye Luo once again unleashed this terrifying strike.
With his hands forming the Dragon Seal, streams of white light surged from between his palms, condensing into a white Dragon Shadow in the void.
Then, nature’s spiritual energy from the surrounding void stirred wildly, drawn towards the white Dragon Shadow as if attracted, all converging towards it.
This time, the influx of nature’s spiritual energy was even more enormous than before. In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Shadow expanded more than tenfold, reaching a length of fifty to sixty meters, its entire body radiating white light, as if it were materialized, emanating a terrifying Dragon’s Might.
"This fellow’s technique indeed contains a hint of the true essence of the Dragon Clan’s martial techniques. It seems this young man and my Dragon Clan are really fated!"
Inside Ye Luo’s Spirit Sea, Ao Long watched Ye Luo execute this strike and muttered to himself.
All of this seemed lengthy, but it happened in the blink of an eye.
Roar!
Accompanied by a loud dragon chant, the white Dragon Shadow released terrifying Dragon’s Might, carrying a soaring momentum as it collided with the pressing Jin Gang Palm.
Boom!
The two massive forces struck each other, raising waves tens of thousands of feet high, with endless ripples of strength spreading through the void.
A golden and a white beam of light shot into the sky, bursting forth and spreading in all directions, covering everything. In the dark night, these two rays of light were extremely dazzling, arousing the curiosity of the Macau populace, who gazed at the night sky, wondering what was happening.
Not far from the fierce battle between Zhi Gang and Ye Luo, a luxurious sedan was parked. Inside the car were Zhang Daqian and Zhang Huai.
After leaving the Baili Building, the father and son had planned to go home. Passing by this road, they unexpectedly witnessed this terrifying battle. The astonishing and shocking scene chilled them to the bone, their eyes filled with fear.
"What terrifying strength; is this really a human?"
Zhang Huai looked on, his face blank with shock.
Boom boom boom!
A series of thunderous sounds erupted, the terrifying sonic booms piercingly sharp. The two rays of light in the void dissipated completely, the powerful aftershocks of energy sending Ye Luo and Zhi Gang flying backwards.
Pfft!
Zhi Gang’s body flew out dozens of meters, a mouthful of fresh blood spewing out, his face deathly pale, his body’s strength massively depleted.
As for Ye Luo, although he was also flung out dozens of meters, his strong physical constitution meant that he didn’t suffer too severe injuries.
Both the Vajra Palm and the Dragon Seal had completely dissipated, and there was a deep pit on the ground, the result of their combined powers.
Immediately afterward, Ye Luo activated the Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens movement technique, casting a series of afterimages as he burst towards Zhi Gang.
Seeing Ye Luo charging at him, Zhi Gang’s complexion changed, ready to strike again.
Soul-Capturing Eyes!
Ye Luo employed the Soul-Capturing Eyes directly, with purple electricity flashing in his gaze. In an instant, Zhi Gang’s eyes showed a moment of vacantness.
Ye Luo swiftly took the box hiding the relic from his body and placed it into the Lingyun Ring.
However, just as Ye Luo prepared to finish off his opponent, Zhi Gang quickly regained his senses, the Soul-Capturing Eyes apparently having little effect on him.
Furthermore, Ye Luo’s Clairvoyant Eye detected several powerful and frightening presences rushing over from afar, belonging to the three Elders of the Arhat Hall.
Without a moment to spare, Ye Luo, with a cold glance at Zhi Gang, turned and swiftly left the area with Huo Ji.
"Zhi Gang!"
The next second, the three Arhat Hall Elders appeared at the site, seeing the injured Zhi Gang, they all rushed to his side.
"How are you, Zhi Gang?"
The three Elders looked at Zhi Gang with concern.
"Cough cough, I’m okay, but the relic has been stolen!" Zhi Gang said, his face pale.
"What? The relic was stolen? Who did it?"
The complexions of the three Elders darkened as they demanded to know.
"It was the same guy who killed my elder brother," Zhi Gang said, his expression solemn, a chill of vengeance flickering in his eyes.
"Him!"
The three Elders were shocked. Although they hadn’t seen the perpetrator, they were aware of Zhi Gang’s elder brother’s murder, which had led Zhi Gang to sever his ties with Shaolin Temple.
Afterward, Zhi Gang had left the mountain to avenge his brother only to be gravely injured and brought back to the Shaolin Temple, where he devoted himself to the cultivation of the Diamond Sutra to reach his current level.
They hadn’t expected to encounter the adversary again today, and to make matters worse, he had stolen the Buddha Ancestor’s relic.
"This damned scoundrel, it seems he truly wants to be at odds with our Shaolin Temple. We must find him; the relic must be reclaimed at all costs," one of the Elders declared with a stern voice, his eyes shining with determination.
Ten or so minutes later, Ye Luo and Huo Ji returned to the Li Family estate.
Duan Ningyu and the three other Elders appeared one after another, looking at Ye Luo with concern.
"Mr. Ye, are you alright? We felt several powerful auras earlier and were about to investigate, fearing for your safety," said Duan Ningyu, her heart slightly easing as she saw Ye Luo return.
"I’m fine, you all go rest," Ye Luo shook his head.
"Master, I heard you went to seize the Buddha Ancestor’s relic; is it true?"
At that moment, Yan Xi looked at Ye Luo and spoke up, while the other two couldn’t help but turn their attention to Ye Luo. If it wasn’t for Ye Luo’s previous ambition to obtain the relic, they certainly wouldn’t have missed the chance to snatch it themselves.
