Chapter 439: The Eminent Monk of Tiantong Temple
"I owe a favor to the Tianshi Mansion, so I will repay it to Zhang Lingyu." After he finished speaking, his fingertips touched Xia He's brow, and a blue light flashed into her mind.

"If you don't understand a term, ask Zhang Lingyu!"

Murong Ji's figure disappeared and headed towards the center of the battlefield.

Xia He stared blankly ahead, eyes dull. Before her eyes, the meridians appeared one after another. The mystery of the human body was truly incredible.

These things were not something she could comprehend in a short period of time. When she came to her senses, her face turned pale and she rushed towards Zhang Lingyu: "Zhang Lingyu! What are you doing!"

"Xia He! Let me go! I want to help Senior Lu!"

"Forget it! With your skills, you may not be able to defeat me. Didn't you notice? As soon as you left, Lu Jin's strength doubled..."

"What's more, there is also the unfathomable Murong Ji."

Murong Ji stood on the tree trunk, looking at Lu Jin below, constantly releasing killing moves. He then looked at the place where the five people were hiding.

[Xia He's situation might be obvious to all the experts in Quan Xing, but they just ignored it...]

Who is Dou Mei? After five years of cooperation, he has a good understanding of her. Before her abilities were awakened, she was always treated as a plaything, trampled on and discarded at will.

It was not until her abilities were awakened, she devoured her benefactor's property, and joined the Quan Xing that she became what she is today.

Murong Ji guessed that when she protected Xia He, she also felt a special kind of nostalgia, a nostalgia for her unbearable self.

Coming back to his senses, Murong Ji lightly tapped his feet and landed next to Lu Jin. As soon as he landed, Lu Jin punched him.

Fortunately, he was prepared. He took on Lu Jin's attack in an instant and returned it to him.

"Roar!"

Lu Jin staggered back a few steps, roared, and rushed forward again. Murong Ji calmly took out the soul-catching bell and shook it at Lu Jin.

"Jingle Bell!"

In an instant, Lu Jin staggered, and taking this opportunity, Murong Ji struck him on the neck with a palm.

He did not have as powerful means as the old Taoist priest to easily solve Lu Jin's problem, so he could only choose to hurt Lu Jin.

After holding Lu Jin's arm and making sure that he had fainted, he helped him to the side and gave him a defensive magic weapon to prevent those people from attacking him.

Then Murong Ji looked behind the trunk of the fallen tree.

"Sister Mei! I never thought that one day you and I would meet each other." As he spoke, another stack of information appeared in Murong Ji's hand. He found the four madmen and turned to the page about Gao Ning.

His Buddhist name was Yongjue and he was born in Tiantong Temple.

Murong Ji was stunned. Tiantong Temple was one of the five ancient temples of Zen Buddhism. It had a very long history and was not much inferior to Shaolin Temple.

Speaking of Tiantong Temple, Murong Ji thought of a person, Zen Master Xinjing Zanghuan. When he was practicing with Shi Liaoyuan, he had heard him talk about this person. Now, he could only remember a comment: One word can get you into the spirit and break your deep confusion forever.

In an instant, Murong Ji understood the origin of the Twelve Labor Emotion Formation.

Monk Yongjue hid himself very well. Only in this way could he be worthy of being the top-notch and have the strength to shock everyone in Quanxing.

Looking up, Dou Mei had already walked out from behind the tree. She was wearing casual clothes, stained with mud, but it couldn't hide her elegance.

"Go ahead, we won't make things difficult for you."

Murong Ji smiled, looked back at Lu Jin, and after making sure that he was okay, he said, "Sister Mei, when we first met, I wanted to fight with you guys."

Then, he turned his head and looked behind the tree, and shouted loudly: "Master Yongjue, I also know a little about the formation. Please give me some advice!"

Dou Mei's face darkened and she scolded, "You kid! Don't be ungrateful! Get out of here now!"

Murong Ji stretched out his hand and smiled, then took out five formation flags and raised them up, making them float around his body.

Then he raised his hand, and the huge tree that was broken by Lu Jin suddenly grew wildly, and countless branches pressed down on Gao Ning.

Gao Ning's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly jumped away. Just as he landed, a strong earth snake quietly stood up from behind him.

"You are such a nagging kid. I will not argue with you for the sake of Mr. Dou. Leave Lu Jin here and leave quickly."

Speaking of Lu Jin, Murong Ji turned around and saw that Yuan Tao had approached him without him knowing when, but was unable to break through his magic weapon's protection.

Murong Ji's pupils shrank, and countless sand and branches turned into ropes and attacked Yuan Tao.

At this moment, Murong Ji felt that his twelve meridians were being shaken crazily. However, his meridians and internal organs had been forged and could not reach the level of Zhang Zhiwei.

But definitely more tenacious than others.

Yuan Tao was still thinking about holding on with the help of the magic weapon, but who would have thought that the rope made of mud would rush in like a hot knife through butter.

"puff!"

Just as he was about to drag Yuan Tao underground, Shen Chong appeared from nowhere, cut off the restraints on Yuan Tao, and immediately retreated into the forest beside the road.

Murong Ji didn't care. He turned around and looked at Gao Ning with a smile, "Master Yongjue, if this is all you have, you might die here today."

"Be careful behind you!" Shen Chong reminded in the jungle.

The next moment, the earth snake suddenly rushed down. Gao Ning reacted extremely quickly. He could not run away. His fat body sank down, and the red Buddhist beads on his neck suddenly lit up.

"Boom!" The huge earth snake swooped down with force, and its vigorous body twisted continuously, ensuring that the earth and rocks could wear down Gao Ning.

After more than ten seconds, Murong Ji's magic suddenly dissipated, and the formation flags that appeared around Murong Ji fell down.

Murong Ji had a confused look on his face. He looked at Gao Ning, who was covered in dirt and blood, in astonishment. He sat on the ground and gasped heavily.

Murong Ji carefully checked his condition, but found nothing. Not only that, even his own true energy did not change.

After scanning around and finding no other enemies, he finally set his sights on Dou Mei. "Sister Mei, is this your ability? You made me lose the desire and interest to fight?"

"No, no, no, if it's emotional manipulation, I can feel it, but this is a very insensitive method. Is it... subconscious? Suggestion?! You studied psychology, no wonder!"

Then he realized that this method was gentler than the double-handed method, so gentle that people would not be on guard.

"You should leave quickly and leave Lu Jin behind."

As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Ji actually had a subconscious feeling of wanting to obey. He quickly calmed his mind, shook the soul-catching bell, and slowly exhaled. No wonder the four madmen had such a transcendent status in the whole world.

Dou Mei's abilities complement Gao Ning's, and together with Xia He and Shen Chong, they are truly an unstoppable team.

"That's more interesting. Sister Mei..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the soul-catching bell in Murong Ji's hand shook violently, and the surrounding formation flags floated around him again.

Just as he was ready to defend himself, Gao Ning rushed over.

"boom!"

With one or two people as the center, a powerful aura instantly emerged and spread out in all directions.

"Master Murong, you can't leave this time."

At this moment, Gao Ning did not have any kind face at all. Instead, his expression was solemn and he looked at Murong Ji with sharp eyes.

Murong Ji slowly exhaled, "That's right, you who inherited the legacy of Zen Master Zang Huan, how could you possibly know a Twelve Labor Emotion Formation?"

The Twelve Labor Emotions Formation, if broken, is not difficult. However, it would be difficult for him to rank among the top with just this formation.

"I also know some Buddhist methods!"

As they were talking, the two had already exchanged dozens of moves. With the sound of the soul-catching bell, Murong Ji was not under much pressure.

The pattern of his soul-capturing bell was taken from the Hehuan Bell. As the most precious treasure of the Hehuan Sect, it naturally has its own unique features.

Using the Soul-Catching Bell to restrain Dou Mei could actually reduce a lot of pressure on Murong Ji.

However, Murong Ji's face was solemn. It was not easy to defeat Gao Ning. This fat monk actually had a set of horizontal training skills. It would not be easy to defeat him in a short time.

Murong Ji's pupils shrank, and he used the Palm of Great Compassion to directly shake Gao Ning away. Then, a golden light flashed in his palm, and a stream of light shot out.

Gold Label Pegasus!
Gao Ning dodged hastily, and saw a fist-sized golden seal smashing towards him. He had already prepared this move, as he had heard that Murong Ji had a golden seal magic weapon.

Just as he was about to turn around and continue fighting the enemy, he blocked Murong Ji's Vajra Palm.

Subconsciously, I felt something was wrong, and my heart skipped a beat. [There was no sound of the golden seal falling to the ground!]

"Hey, it's too late!"

As soon as Murong Ji finished speaking, Gao Ning felt a pain in his back, and another bead hanging around his neck broke instantly.

Murong Ji's pupils shrank, and he looked at the string of Buddhist beads in surprise. What kind of magic weapon was this? Could it transfer damage? ! !

No! Not a transfer!

The injury caused by the Heaven-Flipping Seal actually fell on Gao Ning. No matter what, Murong Ji would never give up the advantage he had obtained!

He started the attack with Tianshan Zhemei Hand and then finished off with Tianshan Liuyang Palm. He blocked Gao Ning's attack with one palm and then used the next palm to send a stream of cold Yin energy into Gao Ning's body.

In an instant, half of Gao Ning's body was numb from the cold.

In the face of life-and-death crisis, Gao Ning's powerful potential burst out and forced Murong Ji to retreat a step.

When he steadied his body and attacked again, Gao Ning was already several meters away from him.

Taking a few steps forward and just about to chase, Murong Ji subconsciously hit someone from behind.

With a full-strength attack, the golden palm print suddenly enlarged and in the blink of an eye it was half the size of a person.

"boom!"

With the two people as the center, the soil turned outwards, and the nearest circle of trees were blown down and crooked by the air force.

After Murong Ji saw who was coming, his face became a little gloomy. Lu Jin!

Didn’t I already knock Lu Jin unconscious?
After blocking Lu Jin's several talismans and fists, the formation flags around Murong Ji suddenly activated, and countless mud and branches continued to entangle Lu Jin.

After forcibly restraining Lu Jin, Murong Ji took out several silver needles and inserted them into various acupuncture points of Lu Jin to block the flow of Qi.
