Chapter 309: 40: The Overwhelming Power of the Sword
Translator: 549690339
The originally peaceful Nanyu Prefecture began to stir due to the appearance of the Western Evil Mink Monk.
“Sha sha!”
The soldiers of Yan Country, clad in armor and wielding shields, poured in from both sides of the street, causing a dull sound as their iron armor clanked. They blocked the entrance of Yan Tang Manor.
“Shiu!”
In the spacious courtyard, an agile figure leaped up and broke through the front yard’s soldiers guarding them.
——Roar!
A gigantic green mink, five or six meters long, landed lightly and issued a warning roar toward the surrounding soldiers while baring its sharp fangs and revealing a fierce expression.
“Are these all rabble? Are the remnants of the Yan so weak?”
A sarcastic laugh came from the green mink. The Western Evil Mink Monk, with an entirely bronze-colored body, including his bald head, sat on his beloved pet, appearing very comfortable.
“With this level of ability, they dare to provoke my Shenluo Empire and disrespect our princess? Do they still think they are the Yan of a hundred years ago? In my opinion, there was never a need to collaborate in the first place. The Royal Crown Prince of the mighty Yan has become a turtle hiding its head, what a tragic comedy... ”
“Do not insult the Royal Crown Prince!”
Just as the Western Evil Mink Monk was transmitting sound to mock Zhao Huai, one of the Yan soldiers, a dragon cavalry commander clad in heavy armor, was enraged to the point his eyes turned red and he bellowed.
Even with only refining qi cultivation, he wielded his spear and charged forward.
“Left Commander! It’s dangerous!”
“That evil monk is too strong! You’re no match for him!”
Surrounding deputy commanders and soldiers exclaimed.
The shiny black spear tip was extremely sharp, but the Western Evil Mink Monk didn’t take it seriously. Not even bothering to glance at him, the green mink made a light leap and transformed into an afterimage.
In an instant, the dragon cavalry commander was knocked down.
“Roar!”
The green mink pressed one of its paws onto the fallen commander’s body and let out a deafening roar.
“Go to the battle formation. Leave this to me.”
“Yes!”
Zhao Huai gave the order, then shifted his gaze to the Western Evil Mink Monk, coldly saying:
“I feel it’s a shame to kill this green mink. After all, it’s a rare beast. Why not use it as soup to nourish our bodies.”
The Western Evil Mink Monk, tall and sturdy, with a bronze-colored complexion, revealed a cold sneer and said, “A turtle hiding its head will always remain so. Whether you avoid battle or emerge today, you won’t escape this calamity.”
Zhao Huai, without expression, said: “To break my Taoist mind with a few words, I can only say this method is too boring. Do you think that merely bringing people from Western State will leave you unafraid of challenge?”
Upon realizing that Zhao Huai had seen through his intentions and even discovered the presence of the Sorceress Sect’s three Bodhisattvas and Arhats, the Western Evil Mink Monk did not become angry, instead, he laughed and said:
“We’ll find out if it works by trying.”
Before finishing his words, he suddenly struck out with a palm. A golden palm print appeared with the character “Chan” on it. This sneak attack was nothing short of sinister.
“Then let’s fight.”
Zhao Huai’s expression remained unchanged, and his voice, though not loud, was full of power.
With the copper coin in his hand, a row of large characters emerged before him.
[Hexagram one: Strike Shenluo, make a name for yourself in the world. Starting with the Western Evil Mink Monk, the direction you receive is “fortune”.]
[Hexagram two: Wolves surround, in league together. Hasty battle, the direction you receive is “Misfortune”.]
Since this matter was Shenluo Empire’s provocation to Yan Country, the Yan’s true colors must shine. Although the opponent dared to enter Nanyu Prefecture alone, they must have a card up their sleeve. But he had his own backup, so there was nothing to worry about.
With that in mind, Zhao Huai pinched his sword finger and aimed his black sword at the golden palm print, as fast as lightning.
“Ding!”
As they touched, a violent vibration sounded.
“Let me show you the power of the Yama Buddha Palm.”
The chilling voice of the Western Evil Mink Monk rang out. As he changed the posture of his hand and took a step back, his body spun around and struck again, this time with an unparalleled fierceness.
“The world underestimates my Yan, not knowing that they themselves are the ones with a narrow view.”
