My brother is so cunning

Chapter 945 Any replacement machine is just as strong
The metal puppet in the arena retired successfully, and was replaced by a new puppet carefully selected by Venerable Kasyapa.

During the handover of the two puppets, Venerable Kasyapa and the other three Western envoys activated their divine eyes, widening their three eyes as they tried their best to see if Wen Rui had done anything underhanded.

One machine capable of fighting and countless machines capable of fighting are two completely different concepts.

Venerable Kasyapa insisted on verifying it himself, even if it meant believing that Wen Rui had tampered with it. If he could easily create a puppet warrior whose level was comparable to his own, one of the strongest martial artists in the Western Sect, it would be like the sky falling down for the Western Sect.

Wen Rui couldn't see any flaws with his Heavenly Eye Divine Power. The second metal puppet to appear was a brand new one, and Wen Rui didn't use any tricks.

Before even engaging in combat with the metal puppets that were taking turns on the field, Venerable Kasyapa felt a sense of foreboding and became even more certain that Wen Rui's boasting earlier might not have been an exaggeration at all.

He can truly create countless puppets with the power of a Golden Immortal!
Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to be so confident and proactive in offering to replace the puppet at any time.

Once again facing off against the newly replaced puppet, Venerable Kasyapa did not hold back and wait for the opponent to attack. Instead, he took the initiative and used his Divine Speed ​​Technique to cross a hundred feet in an instant, flying forward and striking out with both palms.

The moment this move was unleashed, the space itself trembled, the force of the punch spread out and covered dozens of feet, a deafening roar exploded, and the aftershocks swept outwards.

This is the "Mount Sumeru Collapse" move from the Arhat Subduing Demon Fist. The shockwave arrives even before the fist, and even if it doesn't hit directly, the aftershocks of the fist's force are enough to shatter the golden body of a Golden Immortal.

Facing the crushing force of the punch, the metal puppet neither dodged nor avoided, but stepped firmly, its metal arms clasped together, its body as immovable as a golden bell.

Seemingly motionless, the puppet's entire body was actually vibrating slightly at a high frequency. The force of the vibrating fist swept across the metal puppet's shell, but was actually neutralized by the high-frequency vibration. Overall, it looked like a majestic mountain standing against a strong wind, ancient and unchanging.

Venerable Kasyapa recognized it at a glance as the "Zen Mind Stabilizing the Mountain" move from the Arhat Subduing Demon Fist, the strongest defensive move in the entire set of fist techniques, reaching the pinnacle of martial arts mastery.

Western martial arts are known for their defensive capabilities, with numerous techniques such as indestructible armor and protective qi.

However, excessive rigidity leads to breakage. Reaching the Golden Immortal realm, absolute hardness does not equate to absolute defense. When both possess the indestructible bodies of Golden Immortals, high-frequency shockwaves become a unique method to break through the indestructible golden body.

Kasyapa thought that the metal puppet was covered in golden armor and it was impossible for it to have honed its skills to every inch of its skin. That's why he used the "Mount Sumeru Collapse" move. This move is called "Mount Sumeru Collapse" and it does not rely on great strength, but on high-frequency shockwaves with extremely high frequency and energy level.

Even if the metal puppet was a solid lump of celestial divine iron, it would be shattered into iron slag by this move.

However, to everyone's surprise, the opponent found a way to break the move so easily, still using the Arhat Subduing Demon Fist at the Great Perfection level, which neutralized the move with ease.

Despite being a ferocious and imposing iron man, when it clasped its hands in prayer to meet the attack, it exuded a touch of Buddhist charm, resembling a golden Buddha statue.

To master the Zen Mind Stabilizing the Mountain stance, martial arts talent and diligent practice alone are far from enough; one must also have a profound understanding of the deep Buddhist principles.

In other words, the Sweeper Monk barely reached the passing grade in mastering this technique, and among the martial monks of Mount Ling, he was not even ranked. Any random one of them was far superior to his ancestor Bodhidharma.

Even when Bodhidharma ascended to Mount Ling, he was merely a junior disciple, serving tea and water, and eating at the table of the young novices. How could a man-made puppet possibly comprehend the essence of Zen?

The number of Lingshan Arhat warrior monks who can calm the mind and stabilize the mountain is not very large. They are all eminent monks who have cultivated Buddhism for several lifetimes.
If they can be so easily surpassed by a lump of iron, what is the point of those martial monks wasting their lives and going through countless reincarnations to achieve enlightenment?

While he was slightly inferior in martial arts realm, Venerable Kasyapa could barely accept it, since the Buddha had taught that Western disciples should prioritize the righteous path and not become overly obsessed with martial arts and supernatural powers.

However, Zen Mind and Steadfast Mountain require a certain level of comprehension of the true Dharma to cultivate. Doesn't this indirectly prove that the puppet's understanding of Buddhism has surpassed that of many Arhats and eminent monks on Mount Ling?

Could it be the cyber monk who is better at chanting sutras than the foreign monk?
Zen Heart Steadfast Mountain received the collapse of Mount Sumeru. Without hesitation, the metal puppet launched a fierce counterattack, separating its clasped hands and spinning rapidly in front of its chest. A golden aura formed from its palms and gradually grew larger as it spun.

With a flick of his wrists, the energy wheel swept towards Venerable Kasyapa. Kasyapa was immediately on high alert and dared not take the attack head-on. He spread his feet into lotus blossoms and used his superhuman speed to retreat at high speed.

The energy wheel has the characteristic of automatic tracking, and it chased after it closely at an incredible speed, but it was not able to be outpaced by the high speed that Kasyapa was given by the Divine Foot Power.

The energy wheel was almost touching Venerable Kasyapa's chest. The silken robe of the monk, which could withstand the thrusts and slashes of immortal-grade weapons, was easily torn apart by the edge of the energy wheel, as easily as a chainsaw tearing a rag.

This is the "Dharma Wheel Turns Constantly" move from the Arhat Subduing Demon Fist, which, like the "Mount Sumeru Collapse" move, has the power to destroy the golden body of a Golden Immortal. Of course, the prerequisite is that this set of fist techniques must be cultivated to the Great Perfection.

The high-speed rotating air blades are formed by the superposition of two air blades, one positive and one negative, which tear apart the golden body with the enormous shearing force generated by their alternating rotation.

Reaching the realm of a flawless golden body, the density of the basic particles that make up the body is extremely high. Attacks such as slashing and piercing, even with a single molecular blade, cannot penetrate the gaps between the body's cells.

Therefore, any attack from a sharp weapon is equivalent to a blunt blow, which the hard flesh can withstand without any pressure.

On the contrary, advanced blunt force strikes, such as shock and shear force, are the nemesis of the Golden Body.

The golden Dharma wheel sped up faster and faster, gradually catching up with the retreating Venerable Kasyapa. The edge of the Dharma wheel rubbed against his chest, sparking dazzling sparks and making a teeth-grinding noise, just like a chainsaw cutting metal.

Surrounded by shields, Venerable Kasyapa's supernatural speed, though allowing him to maneuver with ease, was hampered by the need to constantly change direction, which slowed him down. He was about to be taken down by this attack.

Even with his Buddha-like golden body, though he wouldn't be cut in two by this Dharma wheel, a deep cut would still remain.

Kasyapa roared and slammed his palms together, striking the energy blade in his chest into his palms. He then reversed the force and created a rotating energy blade in the opposite direction, which neutralized the energy wheel that was about to cut into his chest and annihilated it into nothingness.

As the two energy wheels collided, another explosion rang out, and the shockwave surged and sprayed out, crashing into the arena's shield, causing it to flicker once more and almost shattering it again.
