My Master is the Real Boss – Chapter 68

Chapter 68: Formation

His power is inexhaustible.

The stalemate between Xiang Jiannan and the Long-Bearded Elder continued. Xiang Jiannan watched him, unmoving, in silence. Although the Great Dharma Monk said he wanted to end the fight, his body was itching to try again, clearly unwilling to admit defeat. The three of them waited until the house servant who had fainted first woke up from the ground, but none of them made a move.

The house servant who had taken a palm strike from the Great Dharma Monk was the first to stagger to his feet. He scanned the chaotic courtyard, panting heavily. There must have been a fierce battle here earlier. Those lying scattered all over were all his own people.

“You…”

Once his breathing had steadied, he turned his gaze to the Great Dharma Monk. The house servant, now awake, couldn’t hide his anger. But he was interrupted by the fierce-looking fat monk before he could finish his sentence:

“Don’t talk, this monk is annoyed!”

The house servant was rendered speechless by this, his anger turning to frustration. He could only seek help from the Long-Bearded Elder:

“Steward Yan, this monk doesn’t know what’s good for him!”

“You, step back.”

After the house servant spoke, the Long-Bearded Elder flicked his sleeve and softly gave the order. His body remained still as he spoke. Then, he turned his head to continue looking at the trio. As his expression gradually turned cold, an aura suddenly burst forth, instantly filling the courtyard.

A murderous aura suddenly appeared, causing all the potted plants in the courtyard to sway without any wind.

He’s going to make a move!

Secretly clutching the Peace Talisman he had taken out, Xiang Jiannan’s heart tightened. He felt that his green Qi was useless. At this critical moment of life and death, he had to rely on the talisman given by his master.

Li Jin and the Great Dharma Monk’s reactions were even more obvious. They adopted defensive stances, quietly waiting for the Long-Bearded Elder’s next move.

“Be careful!”

The three of them were on high alert. Feeling that the time was right, Li Jin softly reminded them. This reminder directly triggered the Great Dharma Monk’s lack of composure.

“I can’t take it anymore, I absolutely cannot sit here and wait for death!”

After saying that, he flew directly at the Long-Bearded Elder, this time seemingly using all his strength.

There was a loud bang. The ground beneath the Great Dharma Monk’s feet was crushed into ruins. Two beams of Buddhist light suddenly appeared in the air, one on the left and one on the right, pouring into the ordination scars on the top of his head.

Buddhist Dharma blessing, a sudden enlightenment.

“Take this monk’s palm strike!”

As if carrying the force of an avalanche, the Great Dharma Monk swung his right palm fiercely, shouting at the Long-Bearded Elder. The potted plants in the courtyard were even more miserable, seemingly unable to withstand it, all their leaves falling off.

Pa!

The Long-Bearded Elder casually blocked the nearly full-force palm strike with his left arm. His body still didn’t move. Although the force of the palm strike slightly changed his expression, it couldn’t bridge the gap in strength between the two of them.

It sounded like a slap on the body. The Long-Bearded Elder easily countered again. After blocking the Great Dharma Monk’s attack, he changed his fist into a palm, his five fingers together, and directly poked the fat monk’s left shoulder.

Another overwhelming aura attacked. With a muffled groan from the Great Dharma Monk, his fat body was sent flying towards Xiang Jiannan again.

“Monk!”

Unrighteously dodging away, Xiang Jiannan saw the Great Dharma Monk smash through several steps. After stopping, he lay sprawled out, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

“Cough, cough, cough, this old benefactor…”

Panting heavily, unable to get up from the ground, the Great Dharma Monk didn’t stop talking. When Xiang Jiannan tried to help him, his eyes darted around, signaling him not to move rashly:

“This monk is not convinced!”

“If I don’t go to h*ll, who will…”

He really didn’t expect the Great Dharma Monk to be beaten so badly. Looking at the fat monk on the ground, who was extremely unwilling to give up, Xiang Jiannan could only think of this sentence.

His intention was to praise the Great Dharma Monk’s spirit of never giving up despite repeated failures, but the fat monk immediately perked up upon hearing this, and retorted with all his might:

“If you want to go, you go, this monk is not going to h*ll!”

……

Rendered speechless by the Great Dharma Monk’s words, Xiang Jiannan stood up from the ground. He and Li Jin were suddenly amused by him, but due to the current situation, they couldn’t show it and could only let him recover first.

The Great Dharma Monk looked like a child when he spoke. If his body hadn’t been in such a state, he probably would have been kicking his legs and throwing a tantrum on the ground. As of now, the Long-Bearded Elder had not been dealt with yet. Judging from the Great Dharma Monk’s current state, he should be able to hold on for a while longer.

They must get rid of this Long-Bearded Elder as soon as possible, otherwise, one of them would definitely be the next one lying on the ground.

“Attack his lower body.”

Finally voicing his guess, Xiang Jiannan stared at the Long-Bearded Elder’s unmoving body for a few moments and quietly suggested to Li Jin.

He felt that the reason why the Long-Bearded Elder was not moving was because he didn’t dare to move forward rashly. The aggressive aura he had released earlier was entirely used to force the three of them to attack first. This was a psychological tactic, a test of who couldn’t take it first during the confrontation.

Of course, everything was still just a guess.

“Okay.”

After Xiang Jiannan spoke, Li Jin didn’t make a sound. He kept his thoughts to himself and didn’t show any intention. He just suddenly started moving his body in place. After the situation seemed a little more relaxed, he attacked again.

His body was like an arrow released from a bow, suddenly kicking towards the Long-Bearded Elder’s legs. This kind of attack stance that could be executed without preparation made Xiang Jiannan gain more knowledge.

He can do that too? This Li Jin, he must also be cultivating in the Martial Sect.

He had never known which path Li Jin was cultivating. After he used that instantaneous, deadly leg technique, Xiang Jiannan had a rough idea in his mind.

Only those who cultivate in the Martial Sect can use their bodies to such an extent. No wonder he had always felt that Li Jin seemed to have reached some kind of peak.

It’s not just about strength and speed, but also the technique of controlling the body. This completely defied the theory of gravity. The attacks were not flashy.

“Rise!”

Seeing that Li Jin’s feet were about to touch him, the Long-Bearded Elder uttered another word, then jumped into the air, landing a few steps back.

Just as I thought!

He finally moved!

As the Long-Bearded Elder left his original position, Xiang Jiannan couldn’t help but feel a burst of joy. He had felt something was amiss from the beginning. Now that it was verified, he seemed to have seen the crux of the matter.

The position where the Long-Bearded Elder was standing was significant. His source of power seemed to come from the ground.

Recalling those vague, indistinct gases again, Xiang Jiannan gave Li Jin a confirming look. There was a formation in this courtyard, and the person who set it up was likely the Long-Bearded Elder in front of them.

Before, he had been staying in a fixed position, actually absorbing the continuous benefits brought by the formation. This benefit made his attacks even more powerful, giving people the illusion of inexhaustible power.

Because he didn’t know what type of formation was set up in this courtyard, he could only let Li Jin test his guess. Now that the Long-Bearded Elder’s position had changed, it should be more effective to deal with him.

There’s still a chance.
