Chapter 622: Translations
Before the opponent’s palm strike even landed, Yue Lengchan already felt an intense, bone-chilling cold, instantly alarming him. ‘My cultivation focuses on cold True Qi, yet someone else’s inner strength can make me feel cold?’
In a hurry, he raised his palm to block in front of his chest. Unfortunately, the attack came too quickly, and he could only channel five to six-tenths of his full strength. As the two palms clashed, Yue Lengchan felt as if struck by lightning. He was sent flying backward, and when he managed to steady himself, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh bl0od. To everyone’s shock, the bl0od on the grass contained tiny ice shards, emitting faint wisps of cold air.
With a furious roar, You Tanzhi lunged forward like an unrelenting shadow. Yue Lengchan’s face turned pale as he thought to himself, ‘It’s over. Who would have thought that I, Yue Lengchan, would meet my end at the hands of a nameless nobody?’
Just then, Master Fang Zheng suddenly stepped forward, exchanging several palm strikes with You Tanzhi in the blink of an eye. With a final blow, he forced You Tanzhi to retreat.
You Tanzhi staggered back over a dozen steps before steadying himself. Although Fang Zheng had taken advantage of his sudden appearance, the palm strikes they exchanged were genuine, with no tricks involved. Cautious of Fang Zheng’s profound inner strength, You Tanzhi hesitated to charge forward recklessly.
“Am!tabha!” Master Fang Zheng chanted a Buddh!st prayer.
Song Qingshu sneered. “What a righteous Master Fang Zheng! Earlier, when they ganged up on me, I didn’t see you stepping in to save me. Now that Yue Lengchan is in trouble, you rush to his aid. Truly, birds of a feather flock together.”
Master Fang Zheng replied calmly, “Your martial prowess far surpasses mine. What need is there for me to intervene on your behalf? Alliance Leader Yue, however, is a renowned leader of the righteous path. Naturally, I cannot stand idly by. Moreover, this benefactor You’s inner strength seems to share the same origin as our monastery’s ‘Marrow Cleansing Scripture’. I must investigate this matter.”
With that, he bowed toward You Tanzhi. “Benefactor, I ask that you return our monastery’s ‘Marrow Cleansing Scripture’.”
