Sensing the commotion, Jellyfish Yin Ji and Lian Xing quickly looked over, only to see that the person was dressed in black and masked, making it impossible to see their appearance.
The only way to determine that the other party's cultivation level had reached the late stage of the Grandmaster realm was by observing the fluctuations in his true energy.
"Amitabha"
As this person rushed towards Xuanci and the others with his feet crossed, a loud Buddhist chant instantly echoed in the sky above the back mountain.
Subsequently, in the perception of Chu Qinghe and the others, two true essence fluctuations at the early stage of the Celestial Realm emerged from the ancient temple in the distance.
Immediately afterwards, two monks, one fat and one thin, both at the early stage of the Celestial Realm, transformed into arrows and shot up from the ancient temple, rushing towards the location behind the mountain.
In the blink of an eye, they had already traversed dozens of feet.
Moreover, even before the person arrived, his aura had already descended from the sky. With his aura locked in place, the black-clad man who was originally rushing towards Xuan Ci and the others involuntarily paused for a moment, and his speed actually slowed down slightly.
Meanwhile, the two monks at the early stage of the Celestial Realm had already appeared in the sky above the back mountain, their bodies streaking across the sky like shooting stars as they rushed toward the black-clad, masked man.
As one of the old monks locked his gaze on the masked man in black, one of his hands transformed from a palm into a claw and reached out to grab the masked man.
However, at that moment, Chu Qinghe's gaze fell on a person lying on the ground about three zhang away from the black-clad, masked man.
Almost as soon as Chu Qinghe's gaze fell on this person, accompanied by the burst of true essence from the mid-stage of the Celestial Realm, the person who was just lying on the ground suddenly sprang up, with four fingers bent on each hand except for the index finger which was focused in the air.
In an instant, two extremely refined finger strikes, mixed with true essence, shot out towards the two early-stage Celestial Realm monks in the air.
Upon seeing the person who suddenly stood up from the ground, Shui Mu Yin Ji and Lian Xing and the other girls immediately recognized him.
It was none other than Murong Longcheng, who had been injured by the Water Mother Yin Ji on Taihu Lake.
Sensing the change, the two monks at the early stage of the Celestial Realm changed their expressions. The thin monk on the left pressed down with both hands, and with the burst of true essence, streams of true essence surged and instantly formed a golden bell of true essence around his body, protecting him.
As this true essence circulated rapidly, there were even some special energy swirling around it.
When Murong Longcheng's finger strike, imbued with true essence, was still half an inch away from the monk, it struck the golden bell of true essence and produced a melodious and resonant "dong" sound.
It was as if this finger strike had truly hit a golden bell.
Despite Murong Longcheng's Canhe Finger failing to pierce the golden bell formed from true essence, the power and energy contained within it caused the monk to stagger back nearly two zhang.
Meanwhile, the obese monk on the right raised his right hand and quickly slapped it in front of him.
When this palm strike was unleashed, the extreme concentration of true energy caused the monk's thick palm to emit a bronze luster, just like the golden bronze Buddha's hand cast in Buddhist temples.
As the palm swiftly lashed out, crackling sounds, like firecrackers, echoed wherever it passed.
However, the surrounding air seemed unable to withstand the terrifying power contained in the palm and burst apart.
But like the thin monk next to him.
When the fat monk's hand, which was tinged with a bronze color from the gathering of true energy, touched Murong Longcheng's combined finger force, the power contained in the finger force and the residual true energy forced the monk to pull away the remaining force on his body.
"bass!"
However, just as the obese monk had regained his footing, a sword's cry suddenly rang out.
Sensing something was wrong, the obese monk looked closely and saw Murong Longcheng approaching with his sword drawn.
Upon seeing this, the obese monk was startled. Ignoring the remaining strength in his body, he forcibly gathered his true energy and struck out with his palm at Murong Longcheng in front of him again.
This time, however, as his palm swept out, the concentrated true essence condensed into a palm shadow three zhang in size.
Just as the palm shadow swept through the air and struck Murong Longcheng, Murong Longcheng's right hand holding the sword remained still, while his left hand instantly drew a trajectory in the air.
In the midst of the movement, the palm shadow unleashed by the obese monk was instantly broken down into streams of true energy when it was still an inch away from Murong Longcheng, and then absorbed into his body.
The next instant, as Murong Longcheng struck out with his left hand, a torrent of true energy, like the Yellow River bursting its banks, poured out of Murong Longcheng's hand and then reassembled into a three-zhang-long palm shadow that struck the fat monk.
Upon witnessing this scene, both the obese monk and the emaciated monk immediately realized that something was amiss.
"The 'Shifting Stars' Scripture,' is it about the Murong family?"
Although he had guessed the other party's identity, the fat monk dared not think too much about it and quickly mobilized his true energy to condense another palm shadow and strike out.
"boom!"
In an instant, a deafening sound filled the entire sky.
But amidst the surging aftershocks and rolling waves of air, a long sword suddenly cleaved through the turbulent air and thrust towards the obese monk with unstoppable force.
By the time the obese monk noticed the sword strike, the tip of the longsword was only about three inches away from him.
Even though the obese monk wanted to deal with it, he didn't have time, and his heart sank immediately.
