Chapter 184 The War of Life and Death

The battle between Withered Leaf and Smile and Savage Evils had come to a temporary end with the defeat of the latter.

E Guantian and Smiling Tiger were lying on the ground, with blood on their mouths, and their weapons were scattered on the side. They both were panting heavily. They were battered and exhausted, no longer as oppressive as before.

They had underestimated Withered Leaf's strength. When they fought, they realized that even if there were one more person, they still might not be a match for Withered Leaf. They were unable to see through this old monk's cultivation level.

Jin Yang and the others were wild with joy when they saw that Smile and Savage Evils had been defeated. They could have just fled while the three of them were fighting, but Jin Yang had refused firmly.

Jin Yang remembered that his father, Jin Muyun, had once told him about Withered Leaf. Jin Muyun had saved Withered Leaf, and Withered Leaf had gratefully given him a unique Buddhist bead as a birthday present when he was one year old. He had also promised that no matter what happened in the future, he would help him even with his life. Jin Yang had been taking this Buddhist bead since he was young in case one day he would need help, and he could ask for help from Withered Leaf in time.

Legend has it that Withered Leaf had once entered the real Ancient Martial World and became a Void Stage expert. Let alone in the Fake Ancient Martial World, even in the half-Ancient Martial World, a Void Stage could already be considered as a first-class expert.

In half Ancient Martial World, there were only a handful of people who could reach the Void Stage. Therefore, with the help of Withered Leaf, Jin Yang did not need to be afraid of the Smile and Savage Evils, and there was no need to leave. He even wanted to let Withered Leaf kill these two abominable people to avenge the Jinwu Sect's disciples who had died under their hands, and at the same time, go back and save Shi Bingying.

Shi Bingying could be considered the only girl in Jin Yang's entire life who made him put his heart into her.

"Amitabha. Sin, sin." Withered Leaf clasped his hands, then said a Buddhist prayer to the Smile and Savage Evils, "Forgive my offense, please leave."

"What, let them go? Master, you can't let them go, help me kill them. " Jin Yang was the first to jump out as he yelled.

Withered Leaf looked at Jin Yang and saw the Buddhist bead hanging around his neck. He immediately said, "I presume this must be Young Benefactor Jin."

"Yes, yes, Master Withered Leaf, I am Jin Muyun's son, Jin Yang. I have often heard my father talk about you and have always been respectful to you. And I had never thought that I would meet you. I am so happy!" Jin Yang was incredibly excited. "Master, we can't let them go! They've killed many of our men. They must pay back in blood!"

When the remaining three Jinwu Sects people heard their Young Lord speak to Withered Leaf like that, they were immediately overjoyed. So it was an old friend, no wonder their Young Master was unwilling to leave just now. As there was such an influential expert, they didn't need to be afraid of what Smile and Savage Evils.

"Yes, Master, kill them. Take revenge for the people of Jinwu Sect." The three of them immediately rushed over echoing Jin Yang to persuade him. Then, they glared hatefully at the two men on the ground.

"Amitabha, a monk is compassionate, and I have decided to let them leave, I wish benefactor Jin forgive me." Withered Leaf persevered in the belief of "Buddha," insisting on setting the Smile and Savage Evils free.

Jin Yang and the others were anxious, angry, and helpless. This old monk was too stubborn, and even they wore out their tones arguing with him, they were still unable to change Withered Leaf's mind. They were so angry that they nearly vomited blood.

"Old Monk, thank you for sparing our lives." E Guantian stood up first, and after finding his weapon, he just gave a stiff thanks.

"Almsgiver, I hope that you would not kill people in the future. Otherwise, one who committed many injustices is doomed to failure." Withered Leaf kindly reminded him.

E Guantian scolded in his heart, your old bald donkey's head was broken. Less killing? Hmph, my head wasn't broken.

"Amitabha." Smiling Tiger also stood up shakily and proclaimed a Buddhist prayer with a trembling voice. His injuries seemed to be heavier than E Guantian's, "Master is indeed a highly enlightened monk, what a compassionate heart, your requiting evil with good made us vulgarity so small. I will always remember Master's mercy today. I will use Master's words to warn me in the future so that I can cause fewer killings and more benefit to the world. "

"Amitabha, great. Benefactor is a man of great wisdom, congratulations. " Withered Leaf used Buddhist prayer to response, he was delighted with how smiling Tiger had come back from his lost path. He had once again transformed a person for Buddha, his merits were boundless.

E Guantian sneered in his heart, this old baldy probably hadn't come out of the temple for over 10 years, reciting Buddhist scriptures like a fool. He couldn't even distinguish the evil from kindness. How can you believe the words of Smiling Tiger?

"Master, I am unable to repay you for sparing my life and teaching me. Please accept my respect as a common person." With that, he knelt to the ground with "Putong" sound sincerely and raised his hands to the sky. As his upper body prostrated on the ground, his hands were touching the ground, and his nose was almost touching the dust on the ground as well. This was a huge salute.

"Amitabha, this is a sin, a sin. For such a great salute, I do not deserve this. Please rise." Withered Leaf hurriedly went forward and grabbed Smiling Tiger's arms to help him up.

"Thank you, Master." The corners of Smiling Tiger's mouth curled into a strange smile. He suddenly flipped his hand to grab onto Withered Leaf's hand. His sleeve suddenly moved, and a red shadow scurried out.

"Master, be careful!" Jin Yang and his men, who had been watching from behind, cried out in alarm. However, it was too late.

"AH!" Withered Leaf's hand was bitten by something. That intense pain was like an electric shock to his entire body, causing him to cry out in pain. Before he could react to what was going on, a strong gale swept towards him from above his head. E Guantian seemed to have expected this moment to come, so he had already prepared to smash his palm towards the head of Withered Leaf.

E Guantian came ferociously, his speed was as fast as lightning, both of Withered Leaf's hands were still being held by Smiling Tiger, and in that moment of crisis, he could only do his best to shake him off, and during that, E Guantian's fierce palm strike was already right in front of him.

Withered Leaf could no longer dodge and could only use his palm to meet the attack.

"Bam."

With the clash of the two palms, E Guantian was sent flying away, but this sudden clash by Withered Leaf caused his lower part unprotected.

"Bam." A sound rang out. Smiling Tiger, who had prepared for this a long time ago, hit Withered Leaf's stomach and sent him flying out as well.

"Master." The sudden turn of events caused the faces of Jin Yang and the rest to change drastically as they screamed in fear and rushed at withering leaves.

"Hmph, all of you can go die now." E Guantian released the furious roar that was suppressed by withered Leaf a moment ago. The flute in his hand flew out, directly striking toward Jin Yang and the rest.

"Whap." Just as the flute was about to hit Jin Yang's head, a string of Buddhist beads flew over and deflected the flute, making it flying into another direction.

"Ah!" A miserable scream sounded out as one of the people beside Jin Yang fell in a pool of blood. The skewedly flying flute smashed a bloody hole into that person's head.

Seeing the dead body right beside him, Jin Yang broke out in a cold sweat, and his back went completely numb. At this moment, he finally understood the terror of life and death. At the same time, he also understood the terror of the Smile and Savage Evils. It was too easy for them to kill him and his men.

"Amitabha, sin." Withered Leaf looked at the dead man with sorrow and guilt. Although he didn't kill him, he did kill him indirectly. If he didn't deflect the flute, the man wouldn't have died, but Jin Yang would.

Ten-odd years ago, when he was in seclusion, he swore an oath in front of the Buddha that he would never kill again, however, today, he finally broke the promise.

"Hehehe, Master, it seems like they are doomed to die today. Look, even the Buddha is telling you to kill them. "HurHurHur." Smiling Tiger had that same happy expression again.

"You, you two!" Right now, when Withered Leaf saw Smiling Tiger's amiable expression, he was extremely angry. He hadn't thought that this guy would use such a despicable method to plot against him. Perhaps it was due to anxiety, his throat tightened, and with a "pu" sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood. That blood was a bit black.

"Master, are you alright?" Jin Yang was distraught, but he wasn't that concerned about the Withering Leaf. What he was worried about was that if withering Leaf were to die, then they would be finished either. They would die obediently at the hands of the Smile and Savage Evils.

"Almsgiver Jin, I, I might be dying. You guys hurry up and leave, I'll stop them." Withered Leaf was clearer than anyone else about the injuries on his body. He was poisoned, and it was a unique poison of half ancient martial sects. This kind of poison was able to seal the throat with blood, and anyone with this poison would die within 3 seconds. But Withered Leaf had a high cultivation base and would be able to speak as well as stay alive for a while. But if he didn't get the antidote in time, he would fall sooner or later.

"Then we'll have to trouble Master. Young Master, let's leave quickly." Before Jin Yang could say anything, his remaining two men immediately rushed forward, grabbed him, and ran into the darkness.

"You want to leave? It won't be that easy." E Guantian roared and flew up, just as he was about to catch up, a string of Buddhist beads flew towards him, forcing him to stop his attack, and fell from the sky to avoid the attack of the string of Buddhist beads.

"Old Savage, let's join forces and kill this old bald donkey first before chasing after them." Smiling Tiger rushed to E Guantian's side and shouted.

"Alright, let's go!" The two of them roared at the same time as they charged at Withered Leaf.

"Amitabha, sadhu sadhu. Since you insist on being stubborn, don't blame me for killing again." Great Wisdom Palm! " At this moment, Withered Leaf no longer held back. He used the so-called first palm of the Buddhist faith, the Great Wisdom Palm, and fiercely fought with Smile and Savage Evils

Unfortunately, it was too late for Withered Leaf to wake up. He was both injured and poisoned, so no matter how powerful the Great Wisdom Palm was, it could not bring out a tenth of its power, which was equal in the influence of the evils.

And as time passed, the poison progressed, the withered Leaf's reaction became more and more sluggish, and the speed at which he struck palm out became slower and slower, and his body speed was even left behind by the Smile and Savage Evils.

Seeing that his side was gradually gaining the upper hand, E Guantian used his palm to attack with all his might, the palm images intertwined with one another, and the moves were incredibly fierce.

"Hahaha, old bald donkey, this is the result of you meddling in other people's business. Even your Buddha can't save you now."

Withered Leaf also knew that it couldn't go on like this. He couldn't afford it. He had to turn the tables as soon as possible. At the very least, he had to fight both of them and render them powerless to continue chasing after Jin Yang and the others. This way, he could be considered to have repaid the debt of the Jinwu Sect's Sect Leader, Jin Muyun, in his very last moment.

Who would have thought that the first battle he encountered outside would turn into a life and death battle?

"Great-Mercy-Palm!" The aura of the withered Leaf suddenly exploded, as if he was burning his last bit of power. A palm strike that carried an earth-shattering momentum and a feeling of empathy for the world struck towards smiling Tiger.

"Terrible!. Old Savage, quickly come and help me." Smiling Tiger's expression changed greatly. He could not dodge this palm's speed, and it was not something he could forcefully receive. However, he had no other choice. If he could not avoid it, then he would die without taking it, so he had to take the palm.

BOOM!

The two palms collided. What came out was not the sound of "bang," but rather the explosive sound of a cannonball. That was the sound of the collision of the two forces.

Withered Leaf initially thought that Smiling Tiger wouldn't be able to receive this palm no matter what, but he did. It turned out that E Guantian had coordinated with Smiling Tiger very well, now Smiling Tiger's palm was touching Withered Leaf's, while E Guantian's palm was pressing on Smiling Tiger's body from behind, sending his inner strength out to help Smiling Tiger.

At this moment, the fierce fight between the three of them had turned into a contest of inner strength. The inner strength they had released had caused the wind to howl, and sand to fly everywhere.

"Hehe, old bald donkey, let's see how long you can last." E Guantian grinned hideously. Although his face was gradually turning pale and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, E Guantian firmly believed that the victory belonged to them. Because at this moment, black blood had already flowed out from the mouth, nose and even eyes of Withered Leaf, the poison in his body had already infiltrated deeper and deeper

"Old Savage, don't talk. He won't be able to hold on much longer. Use all your strength." Smiling Tiger's face was also pale. Sweat rolled down his face, but he still clenched his teeth and persevered, continuously blasting out his inner force.

At this point, let's see who can last until the end.

"Crack, crack, crack …" When the three of them were competing with their inner strength, a person's hurried footsteps came from the darkness in the distance. Very quickly, a staggering and limping figure rushed over from the darkness. Apparently, he was already injured.

When the person saw the howling wind and the flying sand in front of him, he immediately stopped and looked over. His face was stunned for a moment before he started laughing out loud.

"Hahaha, Smile and Savage Evil Dogs, the two of you have never thought that I would still be alive. Today, I will send you to heaven and avenge my Jinwu Sect's people."

This person was from Jinwu Sector, and he seemed to be dead in the previous war with the Smile and Savage Evils. Who knew that he was lucky, and just fainted. After a while, he woke up and started to stagger towards them. What he did not expect was that the evils were stopped by an old monk, and both sides of them were competing with their inner strength. As a Martial Cultivator, he was very clear that if external forces were to interfere with the competition of inner force, then the interfered party would be in danger.

Moreover, from the looks of the situation on both sides, it seemed as if they had already reached the most critical moment. At this moment, if he were going to step in, the two of the Smile and Savage Evils would die. Killing the infamous Smile and Savage Evils was not only great merit for him but also a great achievement for his reputation.

Thinking of this, he circulated all the remaining inner strength in his body and shot out towards the Evils with a roar.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion resounded.

"Wuuwaa ~ ~ ~" Then there was a terrible cry. This person didn't even manage to touch Smile and Savage Evils' clothes before he was sent flying one meter away by the inner strength of both parties. His body was like a falling leaf in the sky, blown away by the strong wind in the dark night and then landing heavily on the ground with a bang.

"You overestimate yourself. You're courting death!" E Guantian coldly snorted in his heart.

However, what was surprising was that although the man was bleeding profusely, his body was still twitching. He was so strong that he wasn't completely dead.

After struggling on the ground for a while, he crawled a few meters forward and left a trail of blood behind him.

"Duk, Duk, Duk."

At this moment, the steady and rhythmic sound of footsteps sounded out. Under the dim light, a long figure first appeared on the ground, and then shortened, shortened, that man went into the light.

He was in a stiff military uniform and had a young but stern face.

Valiant and mighty. Perhaps only these words could describe this young man's vigor.
