The moment the palm shadow appeared, the area around the back mountain seemed to instantly transform into a deep water area several meters below, with the air filled with a sense of stagnation and pressure, like being plunged into the sea.
Even though Qu Feiyan and the other women were far away from Meng Chixing and the Sweeper Monk, they could feel a huge boulder pressing down on them and even in their hearts.
Even breathing became a little more difficult.
At the same time, as the golden true essence within the Sweeper Monk's body condensed, strands of the power of heaven and earth were also drawn into his body.
The terrifying aura and the unbridled energy surging within him caused the sweeping monk's robes and white cotton to flutter continuously.
After a series of battles, the Sweeper Monk seemed to have been truly enraged. His peaceful aura was gone, and he now appeared more ferocious.
After his internal energy intensified, the sweeping monk thrust out his withered hand in a flower-picking motion.
As the sweeping monk straightened his right arm, golden true essence, enveloped in the power of heaven and earth, formed a nearly five-zhang-long Buddha's hand in the air, which then blasted towards the purplish-black hand in the sky.
Everyone could clearly see the true essence flowing and circulating like water within the Buddha's hand that held up the flower.
The next second, as the Buddha's hand holding a flower and the large, purplish-black hand collided in mid-air, the space behind the mountain trembled.
Along with this obvious tremor, a thunderous roar quickly echoed from the back mountain.
The gale also erupted and splashed out from the Buddha's hand and the purplish-black palm shadow in the air.
Each ripple of the aftershock thins the ground and stirs up clouds of dust.
Sensing the terrifying force and true essence mixed with the aftershocks raging towards them, Pang Ban and the others watching from the sidelines, along with the several Celestial Realm monks from Northern Shaolin, all circulated their true essence to block the dust and residual shockwaves.
As the Buddha's hand holding a flower and the large black hand collided in the air, the true essence, energy, and power of heaven and earth within the attacks condensed by the two were continuously worn away.
But in the next instant, the Buddha's hand gesture that the sweeping monk had made suddenly disintegrated rapidly amidst the tremors.
In contrast, after shattering the Buddha's Hand gesture, Meng Chixing's giant purplish-black palm shadow swiftly struck the Sweeper Monk.
Upon witnessing this scene, the sweeping monk's expression changed drastically.
Then, as his true essence poured out, Ning Kong stretched out his index finger and pointed at the giant purplish-black palm shadow in front of him.
However, just as the Sweeper Monk used his finger strength to shatter the giant palm shadow that was striking him, Meng Chixing suddenly passed through layers of air waves and flashed in front of the Sweeper Monk, his eyes emitting an unusual light like purple crystals.
The moment the sweeping monk's gaze met Meng Chixing's eyes, a hint of confusion appeared in his own eyes.
But just moments later, this confusion vanished completely, and clarity returned.
When the Sweeper Monk broke free from the illusion created by Meng Chixing using the spiritual techniques within the "Great Method of Planting Demons in the Heart of the Dao," Meng Chixing was already standing in front of the Sweeper Monk.
The two were only about half a zhang apart.
Upon seeing this, the Sweeping Monk's expression changed slightly, and he let out a low shout. Instantly, dense true essence condensed around him, transforming into a large golden bell.
When Meng Chixing's palm struck the large bell formed from true energy, the entire back mountain heard the sound of the bell ringing.
When Qu Feiyan and the other women heard the sound of the bell, they felt their hearts tremble violently.
However, perhaps due to age, or perhaps due to the sudden change just now, in Chu Qinghe's eyes, Meng Chixing was now subtly gaining the upper hand.
After picking her ears and patting her head, Qu Feiyan, having recovered from the sound of the bell, looked up at the back mountain.
But when Qu Feiyan looked up, she still couldn't catch a glimpse of Meng Chixing and the Sweeper Monk.
Only the ground behind the mountain, scarred and ravaged by the aftermath of their battle, remained.
Qu Feiyan asked with some curiosity, "Young Master, didn't Meng Chixing lose to Zhang Sanfeng many years ago? Why was Zhang Sanfeng's strength much weaker than Meng Chixing's back then in the Zhenwu Hall of Wudang?"
Qu Feiyan had previously witnessed Zhang Sanfeng's actions inside the Zhenwu Hall.
But when Zhang Sanfeng made his move, it was never as earth-shattering as the battle between Meng Chixing and the Sweeper Monk.
In response to Qu Feiyan's question, Chu Qinghe slowly replied, "Master Zhang's strength is not weak, but his condition was not right at the time. In addition, he was ambushed, poisoned, and attacked. If he were to fight with all his might, he would probably be at this level now."
"Moreover, Pang Ban is Meng Chixing's disciple. Given Zhang Sanfeng's habits, he wouldn't kill Pang Ban unless he dealt with Meng Chixing first."
Qu Feiyan, not quite understanding at first, asked, "Why?"
Chu Qinghe glanced at Qu Feiyan and said, "Meng Chixing only has one disciple, while Zhang Sanfeng's Wudang Sect has over ten thousand disciples. Would you exchange Pang Ban for over ten thousand disciples of Wudang Mountain?"
That's the downside of establishing a power.
Often, one is burdened by one's own power.
Just like Zhang Sanfeng.
If you're all alone, who in the world would dare to mess with you?
Make me unhappy for a moment, and I'll make you unhappy for a lifetime.
This is why Chu Qinghe previously said that Zhang Sanfeng would be burdened by Wudang.
Otherwise, how could Pang Ban, who had only just entered the early stage of the Celestial Realm, have dared to set his sights on Zhang Sanfeng?
