Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Sun Wukong continued, "There's another point. Have you noticed the overall situation here? We have four on our side, and they also have four on their side. So even if we unfortunately lose this battle, we still have three more. Don't you believe me? Don't you believe in yourself? And don't you believe in Jin Chanzi?"

Having said all that, the evil dragon naturally knew that he absolutely could not act impulsively. He bit his lip angrily to express his dissatisfaction, hoping that nothing bad would happen as long as he watched the monk with bated breath.

The Antarctic Immortal Emperor removed his most prized defenses, the four barriers, and said, "Are you really unwilling to admit defeat? I'll give you one more chance."

For some reason, this old guy kept urging the monk to admit defeat. What was his purpose?

The Six-Eared Macaque thought to itself, "Could it be that this old man remembered what they said earlier, and now he wants to humiliate him in return?"

However, this was merely the Six-Eared Macaque's thought, not the Red-Bottomed Macaque's intention. He was also wondering why this guy, with such great strength, could easily defeat his opponent, so why was he so defensive from the beginning?

The monk was also puzzled, but seeing the other party's confident and assertive manner, he said, "I admit I can't break your defense, but that doesn't mean you can insult me ​​like this. Come on then, why say so much?"

"Well, if you want to come, then come. Since you've said so, I won't stand on ceremony anymore." As if hearing these words, the Antarctic Longevity Emperor felt as if he had gained something, and his mood suddenly relaxed a lot.

Turning back to Sun Wukong, the Golden Cicada of Buddhism, he said, "You have all heard it. Today, I was originally going to be lenient because of the friendship I still have with you. But this is a competition after all, so I can't deliberately lose. Therefore, I have no choice but to do my best."

Jin Chanzi seemed to understand what this guy was talking about, and Bianye couldn't say anything more, which was reasonable and logical. So he nodded, as if to agree.

Therefore, what the Antarctic Longevity Emperor was about to unleash was the nine heavenly lightning bolts that he had prepared in advance and were ready to strike!

The thunder roared down with immense power, causing chaos in this hellish place. The little devils and big devils inside could not withstand the force of the thunder and began to stir up trouble.

"Boom."

"Boom!"

As the lightning grew larger and larger in the sky, it gave people an even more domineering and extraordinary feeling.

The Six-Eared Macaque and the dragon behind him also became a little restless. These two were born with a fear of this thing, and they never expected that this old man would use such a move. It seems that they underestimated this guy.

The Red-Bottomed Macaque and Golden Cicada seemed to have already guessed that this guy had a backup plan, so although they were somewhat prepared, they were still surprised, as the power of these nine heavenly lightning bolts was really too much.

The evil dragon originally wanted to go up and beat this guy up, but when he saw the nine bolts of heavenly lightning, he was a little scared. He was not afraid, but he was also terrified. Even he himself seemed to be unable to handle such power.

The evil dragon became docile, which was really unlike his usual temperament.

The Antarctic Longevity Emperor said, "Young monk, I warned you long ago, but you insisted on persisting. Don't blame me. Once the heavenly lightning is formed, it cannot be reversed. Even I am powerless to stop it. Are you ready now?"

Although the monk choked up when he saw the heavenly lightning, he knew that even if he lost, he couldn't lose in a shameful way. He had to have backbone. This monk might not have anything else, but he was still quite tough. So he said, "Come on, I'll test the power of your heavenly lightning today. No matter the outcome, I've had enough."

He then looked at the evil dragon, as if to say, "Brother, today is the day of our rebirth, but I am willing to come out and fight. I will definitely withstand this heavenly lightning, so no matter what, this time has not been wasted. The rest is up to you."

The evil dragon had coexisted with this guy for thousands of years, so it could naturally understand the deep affection between them.

He roared angrily, as if venting his dissatisfaction!

Chapter 957 The Mischievous Vigil

The combined strike of the three heavenly lightning bolts dealt a heavy blow to the monk. Although he had prepared for such a blow, it still exceeded his expectations.

The monk kneeling on one knee knew that this was a difficult situation, but it was definitely not the limit he could withstand. If that were the case, he would be utterly useless. Only three of the nine heavenly lightning bolts had struck; at least half of them were still to come.

This thought was the driving force that allowed the monk to keep going. The heavenly lightning seemed to be very intelligent, domineering yet with a certain degree of coordination.

Crimson lightning exerted pressure on the right side of the monk, while purplish lightning occupied the central position, and azure lightning was on the other side.

The pressure exerted by the three thunderbolts on each other further hindered their ability to fight back.

The Antarctic Longevity Emperor looked at the martial monk, who was already in great difficulty, and said, "Young man, you shouldn't continue like this. If I really seriously injure you, I think these Buddhist people will definitely blame me."

The monk said, "Old man, don't be so cocky. One day I will defeat you. Today may not be that day, but when that day comes, let's see how you'll be laughing."

In truth, both the martial monk and the Antarctic Longevity Emperor knew that regardless of who won or lost today, it wasn't a life-or-death duel. Even if the martial monk lost, at most he would be severely injured, which would be considered extremely serious. If it truly came to a life-or-death situation, he probably wouldn't be engaging in such a gentlemanly one-on-one duel.

The monk was deeply determined; he didn't want to fail now. He wanted to at least withstand the Heavenly Lightning of Immortality. It was only the third time; he had no face to give up.

The Five Elements Tai Chi Bagua Formation's intent is connected with its master's. After sensing the master's will, the Five Elements Formation actually started operating, and then the Tai Chi Formation and the Bagua Formation did the same.

One after another, the formations began to work together as if by perfect understanding. The combined defensive power of these three formations, known for their defensive capabilities, was significantly enhanced.

The monk felt his hands were no longer so weak and heavy, and he was gradually able to stand up from his knees. The momentum of the three bolts of heavenly lightning seemed to have lost its previous oppressive, mountain-like force.

The monk never expected that he could summon the guardian spirits of the three formations at this final moment. Each of the Five Elements, Tai Chi, and Bagua has a guardian spirit that controls the source of power. However, the monk could only summon the guardian spirit of the Five Elements at the time.

This time, perhaps it was a blessing in disguise, but the defensive capabilities of the monk's defensive system unexpectedly increased.

It turned out that the monk had persisted in holding on until the very last moment, and even as he knelt on one knee, his hands still firmly supported the pressure of the three bolts of heavenly lightning.

The monk's palms were injured by the domineering power of the crimson lightning, and his blood flowed from them. The red blood cells in his blood once again played a role in transmitting the monk's will and intentions to the Tai Chi formation.

These three formations were originally illusory, and their contact with the monks was practically zero distance. Therefore, when they sensed the information from the red blood cells in their blood, they began to awaken.

However, the previous warrior monk could only communicate with the guardian spirits of the Five Elements. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, this guy actually understood the warrior monk's meaning and told it to the guardian spirits of the Wuji and Bagua formations.

The three seemingly ordinary, playful guardians knew the importance and urgency of the matter at this moment, and thus reached a single agreement: no matter what, they could not let their master lose face or dignity today.

The conflict between the three guardian spirits can wait until after today. Little did the monk know that the reason he had been unable to unleash the full power of the Five Elements Tai Chi Eight Trigrams Formation for hundreds of years was precisely because the conflict between the three guardian spirits prevented him from overcoming this hurdle.

If he knew, I wonder what kind of expression the monk would have. He would probably be cursing. Damn it, I worked so hard to train and failed, and I thought it was because I didn't have enough talent or I didn't work hard enough. I never thought it was because of the little trouble between you three kids that was hindering me.

However, at this moment, the monk's expression began to change as he realized that he could unleash the full power of the Five Elements Tai Chi Eight Trigrams Formation, which was the highest level of mastery—the unity of man and formation.

The monk knew the power of these three formations. Today, it was no longer just a matter of five bolts of heavenly lightning. Today, he would experience what it was like to feel the power of your ultimate move, nine bolts of heavenly lightning. How dare you be so arrogant? I'm going to make you angry today!

The monk felt that the three bolts of lightning above him were nothing to worry about. He was no longer the monk who could be provoked at will, just a second ago.

"Hey, old man, should I thank you properly today, or should I thank you properly?" The monk continued to support the formation with one hand, while the other hand was free and placed behind his back.

It's obvious he's saying, "I'm completely different now, no, I'm different from the last second. Your heavenly lightning is really terrible, I can't feel anything at all."

Looking at the relaxed expression on the monk's face, the Antarctic Longevity Emperor was furious. He thought to himself, "How could such a coincidence happen? This guy seems to have broken through or something, he's completely different now."

At this moment, Xie Long burst into laughter: "As expected of my brother, you're awesome! Let's take down this old man! Absolutely!"

The Six-Eared Macaque asked with a frustrated expression, "What's going on? I still feel that this guy's strength is still at the Hunyuan Daluo Loose Immortal level, there's no difference."

Chapter 958 This heavenly lightning is a bit too fierce!

The red-bottomed macaque was also puzzled as to what was going on. "This shouldn't be. According to my own brain, this doesn't make sense. Something must have happened that I don't know about, otherwise how could there be such a big difference?"

Sun Wukong couldn't understand what was going on, how his strength had suddenly changed so much, and he was thinking of asking his master if he could explain it.

Seeing that Wukong also looked dazed, Jin Chanzi thought to himself, "It seems that although Wukong's brain has become much sharper, his attention span is still a bit short."

Jin Chanzi, who had already guessed that Wukong would ask him, said the moment he saw Wukong speak, "I know what you're going to say. Notice anything different about the hand that the monk is holding behind his back?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong turned his head and began to observe carefully.

After a while, Sun Wukong seemed to suddenly realize something and said, "Master, you mean this..." Before Wukong could finish speaking, Jin Chanzi signaled him to stop.

Wukong probably understood what Jin Chanzi meant, so he stopped his hesitant stammering and continued to look at the martial monk.

At this moment, his admiration deepened even further. This admiration was not for the martial monk, but for Jin Chanzi standing to the side. Such keen observation skills, even under such circumstances, were truly admirable.

These two understood, but Xie Long was still completely baffled and couldn't figure out the reason. However, Xie Long simply didn't want to understand. That was his personality: whatever happened, he would accept it. As long as he felt comfortable and happy, that was enough.

I was going to ask the monkey what was going on, but now I felt it wasn't necessary. But someone had to answer my questions, so I said, "Monkey, I know you know I know, so I won't ask you now, but you have to promise to tell me after this is over."

"Wow, I didn't expect this guy to be so observant." Sun Wukong glanced at Xie Long with a mischievous grin, meaning, "Okay, no problem!"

The Buddhist monks understood the reason, but that didn't mean that the Antarctic Longevity Emperor and the Red-Bottomed Macaque knew the cause and effect.

Although the red-bottomed macaque wasn't particularly interested in the matter, he was worried about whether it was really normal. If these guys were up to something, things might get difficult later on.

So the Red-Bottomed Macaque wanted to glean something from their conversation or expressions, but unfortunately, Jin Chanzi had already anticipated this, so everyone kept quiet and remained completely at ease.

Just like being turned away, the red-bottomed macaque gave up on figuring out the matter and continued to watch the battle between the Antarctic Longevity Emperor and the martial monk.

The Antarctic Longevity Emperor was very surprised that his heavenly lightning was so ineffective, but he understood the power of heavenly lightning and knew that it was not that his heavenly lightning was ineffective, but that the opponent's strength had increased, which was why this result occurred.

But seeing that the other party was not really planning to tell him, he had nothing else to say, so he thought he would continue to put pressure on him.

The monk felt his body slowly recovering, and looking at the furious Antarctic Emperor, he felt much better. When he was in a good mood, his wounds healed faster.

He then said, "Are you feeling very depressed? Are you very surprised? Are you very...?"

The Antarctic Immortal Emperor asked, "What's so special about it...?"

The monk stopped talking, as if he didn't want to continue.

This left the Antarctic Longevity Emperor quite helpless, but there was nothing he could do. These three bolts of heavenly lightning were like a weak effect, causing no harm whatsoever in the hands of the martial monk.

"Since you're so ungrateful, and since you're strong enough now, I'd like to test whether my nine heavenly lightning bolts are truly insufficient!" The Antarctic Longevity Emperor unleashed his fury, and his aura instantly changed considerably. The old man was no longer the weak and gentle figure he once was; instead, he began to display a violent side.

The evil longsman was acutely sensitive to this kind of aura, so the moment the Antarctic Longevity Emperor changed his style, he wanted to remind the monk.

However, the monk's perception of this aura was no slower than that of the evil longs. But he had almost recovered by now, so there was nothing to fear. With the Five Elements Tai Chi Bagua Formation in hand, he was sure he could defend against the opponent's attack.

Even if I can't win, I'm still in an invincible position, so I can go all out!

The monk took out the hand from behind his back and placed it in front of him along with the previous one. With the addition of the hand, a powerful force was integrated, making the already exceptionally strong Five Elements Tai Chi Bagua Formation even more impregnable.

The Antarctic Longevity Emperor controlled the other three heavenly lightning bolts in the sky: the orange-yellow double lightning bolt and the bright green heavenly lightning bolt. The three bolts followed, but it was far from over. The Antarctic Longevity Emperor knew that even if his three heavenly lightning bolts continued like this, they would only achieve the maximum effect.

That's less than half of what it was before. Since the other side is so confident, if I don't come up with some impressive moves, I'm afraid I'll really be looked down upon.

The feeling of being looked down upon was extremely unpleasant, and he didn't want to experience it again. Therefore, he controlled the orange and yellow lightning bolts in the air to open his gate, and then inserted the bright green lightning bolts from the middle. As more and more of the bright green lightning bolts were inserted, the lower half of the three lightning bolts could be seen to slowly fade from a glossy color to a darker hue.

Throughout history, dark colors have been associated with the source of destructive power.

Typing, typing, typing...

Chapter 959 The Strongest Defense

The monk's eyes were unusually deep and resolute at this moment, and what flashed through them was not fear or apprehension, but excitement.

This excitement came from the deepest part of his heart. This feeling was innate and could not be changed. The blood of a warrior gave him the courage to face difficulties without fear, even if it meant being shattered to pieces.
