After the pervasive stench of blood in the surrounding air inexplicably intensified, the true energy that Chu Qinghe slowly channeled into the folding fan in his hand finally subsided.
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the monk Xuanjian and the man in black. No one noticed that a special aura had silently appeared in the blood-soaked Southern Shaolin Temple.
However, just as Chu Qinghe finished administering the poison, he looked at the black-clad man who had lightly retreated a few steps without continuing to attack and let out a soft "hmm" in his heart.
Immediately afterward, Chu Qinghe's gaze shifted rapidly to the old monk slowly falling from the sky.
At the same time, in the arena, after successfully forcing back the man in black in front of him with a punch, Monk Xuanjian instantly moved to the side of the injured old monk and helped him up.
However, just as the monk Xuanjian helped the old monk up, another monk also flashed into the air above the Mahavira Hall.
The old man wore ordinary monk's robes, his face was withered and somewhat sallow.
His appearance was exactly the same as the old monk in front of the monk Xuanjian.
Upon seeing the situation of Monk Xuanjian, the old monk in the air changed his expression and shouted, "Be careful, he is a member of the Azure Dragon Society!"
Upon hearing that familiar voice in the air, the monk Xuanjian subconsciously raised his head to look at the person in the air.
When his gaze fell upon the monk in the air, the monk Xuanjian's heart sank.
"wrong."
However, at that moment, the old monk in front of Xuanjian moved.
The moment the monk Xuanjian caught him, the old monk's internal energy surged wildly like boiling water.
At the same time, the old monk quickly raised his hand, which had been hidden under his robe, and slapped it towards Monk Xuanjian.
As his palm pierced through the air, the old monk's hand, which had been as normal as ever, suddenly turned completely black.
At first glance, it looks as if the entire palm has just been soaked in ink.
The two were too close, and the monk Xuanjian had not been on guard at all.
When Monk Xuanjian looked at the old monk's appearance in the air and realized something was wrong, he was suddenly startled.
The true essence within the body also flows smoothly, like a flood bursting forth from around the body, forming walls of true essence.
Furthermore, the distance between the monk Xuanjian and the old monk beside him was extremely close at this moment.
Naturally, given that one person was plotting against the other while the other was scrambling to respond, the outcome was predictable.
Almost the instant Xuanjian Monk's true essence began to circulate, the pitch-black hand in front of him tore through the protective true essence surrounding Xuanjian Monk's body and slapped him in the chest.
The terrifying palm force and true energy instantly pierced through the body of the monk Xuanjian, shattering the clothes at the back of his heart and sending him flying backward.
"Whoosh!"
As Xuanjian was sent flying backward, the black-clad man who had been forced back by Xuanjian earlier had somehow appeared in mid-air and struck Xuanjian in the back of the heart with his palm like a knife.
Although martial artists at the Celestial Realm possess profound strength, they are still ultimately mortal beings.
Having suffered two severe blows in succession, the monk Xuanjian's body flew out diagonally like a piece of rubble and crashed into a large pillar outside the Mahavira Hall.
"Bang!"
As the massive pillar, which required two adults to encircle, was broken, the monk Genken's body continued to fly out.
After smashing a large crater into the wall behind the pillar, the monk Genken's body finally collapsed limply to the ground.
As he coughed up another mouthful of blood, the monk Xuanjian turned his head with difficulty and glanced at the black-clad man slowly descending from the sky.
"Despicable, base"
As he uttered those two words, the monk Genken, who had been struggling to get up, fell back to the ground.
The fluctuations of true essence within his body, mixed with the life force of the monk Xuanjian, quickly dissipated.
Thus, a mid-stage Celestial Realm expert died within his own sect.
"Senior Brother Xuanjian?"
Witnessing the monk Xuanjian being ambushed, the old monk in the early stage of the Celestial Realm stared wide-eyed in disbelief and couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
But in the next instant, after regaining his senses, the old monk roared and angrily charged toward the monk who had previously ambushed Xuanjian.
Sensing the commotion behind him, the monk who had previously ambushed Monk Xuanjian chuckled and, with a series of flashes, moved directly in front of the man in black.
Then, in front of everyone, the old monk slowly raised one hand, and under the cover of his wide sleeve, tore off the human skin mask on his face and put on a painted face mask.
Seeing this, Qu Feiyan, standing on the courtyard wall, exclaimed in astonishment, "This person is actually a member of the Azure Dragon Society in disguise?"
By now, how could the women not understand what had just happened?
It was clearly a Celestial Realm expert from the Azure Dragon Society impersonating one of the Celestial Realm experts from the Southern Shaolin Temple, and then fabricating and staging an injured appearance to run around the Mahavira Hall.
Once the monk Xuanjian gets close, then launch a surprise attack.
It wasn't just Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao who were surprised; even Chu Qinghe, watching the situation, couldn't help but show a hint of astonishment on his face.
"Using such a method is quite cunning!"
Under normal circumstances, it would be almost impossible to deceive the monk Genken using such a method.
After all, they are from the same lineage. It's not so easy to fool the monk Genken with this kind of disguise.
But now the Azure Dragon Society is attacking the Southern Shaolin Temple, and the Azure Dragon Society's mid-stage Heavenly Realm expert is clearly deliberately stalling this Xuanjian monk.
