Chen Xiao's blue whirlwind was merely a common minor spell called the Vortex Technique.
Its potent effect was solely due to the immense spiritual energy within Chen Xiao.
He refrained from using the Cang Lan True Martial arts because its greatest power was unleashed only in proximity to water.
Since Wan He Mountain was far from any water source, Chen Xiao had to abandon the idea and did not employ it.
Moreover, given the current situation, Chen Xiao felt no need to use it. As for the Yi Tian Sword, there was no opportunity to wield it.
This was because Tu Junhou's strength was truly unimpressive.
A single minor spell had almost rendered him incapable of retaliating. Ultimately, he had to rely on that white robe to barely withstand Chen Xiao's attack.
Chen Xiao could tell that the white robe was a magical artifact, a rather valuable treasure.
It seemed Tu Junhou had dedicated most of his efforts to refining artifacts, a fact that could also be inferred from Song Fangjin.
"Boy, do not be arrogant. I was merely testing your skill and have not yet revealed my true strength!"
Tu Junhou's roar was not mere bluster.
As he spoke, a formidable aura suddenly coalesced around him.
At this moment, he finally displayed his true power!
The foremost master of sorcery in Hong Kong was not a title earned in vain!
"I have cultivated the Dao for over sixty years, and I have dispatched no less than eight hundred to a thousand cultivators. Do you think I could have survived this long without possessing some genuine ability?"
Tu Junhou slowly raised his hands. His palms were as rough as ancient tree roots, crisscrossed with scars like earthworms.
Upon witnessing this, Yu Baimei's excitement surged, and he exclaimed with a tremor, "Here it comes, here it comes! Tu Junhou is about to unleash his signature technique, the Great Luo Dharma Seal!"
He recalled that during his own duel with Tu Junhou, he had initially been able to match him. However, once Tu Junhou unveiled his renowned Great Luo Dharma Seal, the situation for Yu Baimei turned dire, leaving him with no chance to fight back.
Only by prostrating himself at Tu Junhou's feet and conceding the title of Hong Kong's foremost sorcerer did he manage to preserve his life.
Liu Sanniang and Gou Tianshi, along with others, also grew excited. They had only heard of the Great Luo Dharma Seal's might but had never witnessed it firsthand.
Now that Tu Junhou was about to employ his signature technique, everyone's eyes widened, blinking not a single time, lest they miss any detail.
Tu Junhou stood rooted to the spot, forming hand seals and chanting incantations. The aura around him grew increasingly vast, engulfing everything, as if intending to envelop the entire world.
Chen Xiao's brow furrowed, and he let out a dismissive snort.
"Hmph, all show and no substance."
Then, he clasped his hands in the air, conjuring two Vortex Techniques. They spun at high speed, accompanied by a thunderous roar!
Their power was several times greater than the previous one!
With a casual flick, the two crackling blue vortexes, like sharp blades cleaving through the air, shot directly towards Tu Junhou's head!
Tu Junhou had no doubt that if these vortexes struck him, his head would be instantly pulped into a bloody mess.
However, they would no longer have the chance!
The spell was complete, and the Dharma Seal was condensed. Tu Junhou's hands turned a brilliant golden hue, as if forged from pure gold.
"Great Luo Dharma Seal, Vajra Seal!"
Accompanying Tu Junhou's furious roar, the two golden hands slammed together, emitting a resonant hum, like the clang of a great bell!
As this Dharma sound resonated, a pair of golden palms suddenly materialized in the air, hurtling towards the blue vortexes!
*Bang—Rumble—*
A deafening explosion erupted as the palm seals and vortexes simultaneously dissipated.
Without pause, Tu Junhou launched his second offensive.
"Great Luo Dharma Seal, Dragon Binding Seal!"
Several swastika symbols suddenly appeared out of thin air, linking together to form four golden chains. Before Chen Xiao could react, his hands and feet were bound!
Chen Xiao struggled with all his might but could not break free, finding himself in a passive predicament!
"Here it comes, hahaha! One more move, and this Chen fellow will surely die!"
Yu Baimei cackled with excitement. Having been defeated by Tu Junhou in the past, he now reveled in it.
In stark contrast, Tu Junhou remained expressionless, his gaze as calm as still water, without a ripple.
As if performing a routine task, he initiated the third wave of his assault.
"Great Luo Dharma Seal, Myriad Forms Seal!"
Although Tu Junhou was a cultivator, the Great Luo Dharma Seal was a genuine Buddhist technique.
He had not only mastered this formidable skill but also adopted a guise of hypocritical benevolence.
Then, he brought his palms together, slowly closing his eyes, as if unable to bear witnessing the brutal scene that was about to unfold.
Golden light blazed across the sky, and countless golden palm seals, like a shower of golden snowflakes, slowly descended towards Chen Xiao.
The sorcery masters present could discern that each palm seal contained an immense amount of energy.
Most of the onlookers would have met their end with a single palm seal.
Yet, hundreds of them were now raining down upon Chen Xiao!
"This, this, this... I never imagined Tu Junhou's power had reached such heights!"
Yu Baimei exclaimed in shock.
He recalled that the Myriad Forms Seal Tu Junhou had used against him back then consisted of a mere three palm seals.
Even so, it had caused him to spit blood, and it took him a full year of recuperation to fully recover.
Under the onslaught of these hundreds of palm seals, survival would be impossible for anyone short of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
"As expected of Tu Junhou! The foremost master of sorcery in Hong Kong, his title is well-deserved. He is unparalleled, past and future!"
"Let's see how arrogant this Chen fellow will be from now on!"
"Arrogant? He'll be smashed into a pulp in moments!"
"To possess such power at such a young age, he is already a one-in-a-million genius. Tsk, tsk, what a pity, he brought this upon himself!"
The crowd chattered amongst themselves, their opinions varied.
In their eyes, Chen Xiao had no chance of survival.
Not far behind them, Elder Huang wore a grave expression, silently praying, "Mr. Chen, you must hold on!"
Beside him, the disheveled young man's face was alight with excitement. He declared, "It seems Tu Junhou has the upper hand. I must defeat him!"
The golden palm seals descended with agonizing slowness, which only served to accentuate the cruelty of the technique.
The Dragon Binding Seal and the Myriad Forms Seal were a combo. Once bound by the Dragon Binding Seal, one could only await death.
What made it worse was the excruciatingly slow pace, forcing one to endure torment before their demise.
Yu Baimei had experienced this agony before; it gnawed at his bones and scorched his heart. If given the choice again, he would rather die instantly!
Tu Junhou, mentally calculating the time, slowly opened his eyes.
He knew that at this very moment, the first palm seal was about to strike Chen Xiao...
