"Junior brother!"

In the distance, a whooshing sound came from the air.

Before long, the short-haired youth leaped back.

Upon approaching, I was slightly taken aback.

"Junior brother, where is that girl?"

The short-haired youth looked confused, because only the man with the stubble was left at the scene.

But the beautiful girl from before has disappeared without a trace.

The man with the stubble smiled and said, "It's alright, senior brother. Her family just found us here. They're all safe and sound, and they've already taken her away!"

"So that's how it is!" The short-haired youth suddenly realized. "No wonder I searched for so long but couldn't find any clues!"

Immediately, he looked around and said, "Junior brother, this place is nestled against the mountains and by the water, with abundant spiritual energy and a very secluded atmosphere. It's perfect for Master to go into seclusion. Why don't we find a cave nearby to serve as Master's seclusion place?"

"Okay!" The stubble-faced man nodded, his eyes sparkling as he asked, "By the way, senior brother, what level has our master's cultivation reached now?"

The short-haired youth gave him a strange look. "What level? Junior brother, are you out of your mind? Our master is the twenty-third generation patriarch of the Tan Tui lineage. Our Tan Tui lineage is among the best in the entire Great Xia! Even the renowned Buddha City Shadowless Kick had to admit defeat!"

The short-haired youth continued with an arrogant expression, "And our master's cultivation has long since reached the pinnacle. As a master of the upper realm, he ranks forty-eighth on the Wind and Cloud Ranking! He is known as 'Overlord Leg'!"

Fukuda Misa's beautiful eyes flashed.

Ranked 48th on the popularity chart, that's pretty impressive!

If she could absorb the old man while he was in seclusion, wouldn't her ghost magic be able to reach its peak very quickly?

Misa Fukuda couldn't help but get excited.

"Junior brother, stop dawdling! Master just gave me a signal, he'll probably be here soon, let's hurry up and go!" the short-haired youth urged.

“Okay!” Fukuda Misa nodded.

However, just as the short-haired youth turned around...

Pfft!

Sharp fingertips pierced his back in an instant, tearing out a bright red heart.

The short-haired youth turned around incredulously, "Junior brother, you..."

Misa Fukuda stuck out her tongue and licked the scarlet blood, revealing an expression of ecstasy. "Tsk tsk, the taste of young succulents is really quite good! Want to experience what it feels like to watch your own heart being eaten by someone else?"

"No, no..."

thump!

In terror and rage, the young man collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

The cruelest thing in the world is to kill someone and destroy their spirit!

Fukuda Misa showed no remorse whatsoever. Instead, she wore a mocking expression and mimicked the voice of the man with stubble.

"Senior brother, go in peace. I will send Master off to accompany you on your journey!"

She took a deep breath, and the white essence rushed into her mouth and nose.

This is the taste of essence blood!

After absorbing the essence, Fukuda Misa cleaned up the scene and used an array to conceal her presence.

Whoosh!

Shortly after, a sound of air being torn apart was heard. A powerful aura descended.

Misa Fukuda took the initiative to greet her.

Then they saw an old man dressed in white martial arts clothes walking rapidly by swinging from tree to tree.

This old man is none other than Hu Lie, the master of Tan Tui, known in the martial arts world as "Overlord Leg"!

Soon, the two met face to face!

"Disciple greets Master!" Fukuda Misa quickly knelt down and bowed.

The old man nodded in satisfaction. "Fusheng, where is your senior brother?"

Fukuda Misa's eyes darted around, and she said, "Reporting to Master, Senior Brother has gone to the lake to fish and should be back later!"

The old man waved his hand and said, "I feel my internal energy surging lately, and I am very likely to break through to the peak of the Grandmaster realm. It is inconvenient for me to eat meat. You brothers can enjoy it when he returns from fishing. I see that the spiritual energy here is abundant, so I want to meditate here in seclusion. You will protect me during my seclusion!"

“Yes, Master!” Fukuda Misa replied respectfully.

Hu Lie nodded, then walked to a blue stone in the forest and sat down cross-legged. Before long, he entered a meditative state.

Fukuda Misa's lips curled slightly. "Peak Grandmaster? I didn't expect him to be such a big fish. I've really struck gold this time!"

She had planned to ambush the old man while he was in a meditative state.

But upon hearing that the other party was about to break through to a higher realm, he immediately changed his mind.

Pigs should be fattened up before slaughtering, and it's not too late to make a move when the opponent breaks through to a higher level.

...

Just as Ba Tui Hu Lie went into seclusion.

Mount Song, Bodhidharma Academy.

Li Qingcang, who had been meditating for seven days, slowly awoke from his meditation.

call!

He exhaled a puff of white breath, opened his eyes, and looked at Elder Huaihai opposite him.

With a slight smirk, he said, "Old bald monk, the seven days have passed. You can't escape this battle after all. Come on, let's fight to the death! But don't worry too much, I'll spare your life if necessary!"

After I said that, the other person didn't react at all.

Li Qingcang frowned. "What? Are you trying to renege on your promise?"

brush!

In a flash, he appeared in front of Elder Huaihai, his hand forming a claw as he pressed down on the old monk's head.

However, at the crucial moment, he stopped, because the other party did not react at all!

What's going on?

Even if they were in a meditative state, such a commotion should have woken them up long ago.

Could it be...?

Li Qingcang's pupils suddenly contracted, and he gently pushed the other person.

Elder Huaihai's body trembled, and then his head slumped down limply.

Li Qingcang tremblingly reached out his hand, only to discover that the other party had no breath at all!

"You...you actually passed away peacefully?!"

Li Qingcang was completely stunned.

Before we could even fight, the old monk actually sat down and died!

"Amitabha!"

A Buddhist chant could be heard.

Splash!

An elderly monk in his seventies, slightly overweight, with large earlobes and a kind face, led a group of monks in from outside.

This old monk was also one of the elders of the Bodhidharma Academy, but he was not a martial monk; he was in charge of the academy's affairs.

The old monk approached, a faint sorrow on his face. "Benefactor Li, my senior brother Huaihai has long since attained enlightenment and achieved true fruition, able to freely control life and death! To avoid a battle with you, he voluntarily relinquished his physical body and passed away peacefully!"

“This is not without its purpose in guiding you, benefactor, and persuading you to lay down your butcher’s knife and become a Buddha on the spot! Amitabha!” The old monk said, his palms clasped together, his face full of sorrow.

"Elder Huaihai... Waaah!"

"Elder, you are merciful and save all sentient beings!"

"May the Elder return to this world to save us suffering beings from the sea of ​​suffering!"

"Respectfully bidding farewell to the elder on his passing!"

The monks wept and grieved, kneeling down to respectfully bid farewell to Elder Huaihai.

Elder Huaihai enjoys a high reputation both in the martial arts world and in the secular world, and has countless followers.

A great and virtuous monk has passed away!
