Chapter 1043 Unforeseen
Upon seeing the person before him was Chen Yang, the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable was not surprised.
The Sacred Moon Divine Venerable moved his body, not only quickly dodging the silver needles but also catching them in his hand.
Feeling the potent flames emanating from them, his palm stung, and he quickly let go of the silver needles.
Seeing the silver needles return to Chen Yang's hand, the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable was not angered. Instead, he chuckled and said to Chen Yang, "I thought you would have waited a while longer to find me. I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly."
As he spoke, the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable's gaze fell upon Chen Shu, who was not far away.
"Last time we parted, have you thought about it? Do you want to come with me?"
"Qin Yi is dead. I am your master now."
Hearing this, Chen Shu spat fiercely at the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable, "Don't push your luck. What does this have to do with you?"
"Even if I have a master, it's Chen Yang!"
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have stayed overseas for so long."
The Sacred Moon Divine Venerable slowly shook his head. "It seems I'll have to kill Chen Yang before you're willing to come with me. In that case, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Before the words fell, the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable had already moved.
The moment golden, dazzling light erupted from the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable's eyes, his figure was already beside Chen Yang.
Thinking of the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable's movement technique, the Buddhist radiance that appeared on his body startled both of them.
The technique the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable used was actually Buddhist martial arts.
Yet, his attire made him appear like a Confucian scholar...
"Lightning Law! Explode!"
The Sacred Moon Divine Venerable thrust his hand towards Chen Yang, and a powerful lightning law suddenly erupted.
In that instant, the domain built by Chen Shu was overshadowed.
Under this lightning law, it was almost torn apart.
Fortunately, the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable had been within the Heavenly Witch Earthly Soil domain. Chen Yang had long been prepared for the sudden surge of powerful energy.
The Heavenly Travel Secret Arts were strengthened within the Heavenly Witch Earthly Soil domain, reaching a speed of visible teleportation.
Although he dodged the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable's lightning law, Chen Yang was immediately stunned.
Daoist lightning law?
Who exactly was this Sacred Moon Divine Venerable?
However, before either of them could react, something even more astonishing happened the next second.
The Sacred Moon Divine Venerable drew a single character in the air with his finger, condensing a character with his powerful inner energy.
"Kill!"
The moment the character 'Kill' was completed, its form suddenly changed, transforming into the shape of a warrior.
This warrior, formed by inner energy, not only contained immense killing intent but also unleashed power at the peak of the Grandmaster realm!
Chen Yang felt a life-threatening danger at that instant and immediately condensed his inner energy before him, mobilizing the power within his body.
After a crisp "clang," the warrior formed by killing intent immediately shattered.
At this point, Chen Yang finally reacted and quickly channeled the vital energy from the origin of the Bronze Tree towards the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable.
Vital energy could be absorbed, and it could also be reciprocated!
The potent vital energy acted like a vortex of life, frantically absorbing the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable's blood energy.
Completely restricted by the Heavenly Witch Earthly Soil domain, the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable hastily retreated.
The vortex of vital energy unleashed by Chen Shu was truly something that not just anyone could withstand!
Such a powerful move was comparable to the self-destruction of a peak Grandmaster.
Of course, the consumption of vital energy was also extremely terrifying. If not for the peculiar nature of the Bronze Tree itself, such immense power could not have been unleashed.
The Sacred Moon Divine Venerable was somewhat puzzled. Chen Shu should have almost depleted the Bronze Tree's vital energy to achieve his current form.
How did he suddenly have so much vital energy now?
Chen Shu came to Chen Yang's side and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Chen Yang flicked away the wrinkles on his clothes and said calmly, "I almost fell victim to this fellow."
"He knows Buddhist, Daoist, and Confucian techniques. Truly unforeseen!"
For an ordinary person to master one was already incredibly difficult.
One in ten thousand talent might master two.
But a martial artist who knew all three, Chen Yang had never heard of such a person.
To learn Buddhist techniques, one not only needed the scripture but also the comprehension of Buddhist principles.
Daoist principles were similar, and even more difficult.
Lightning law was the most potent offensive technique among various magical arts, and the requirements for the caster were even more demanding.
This Sacred Moon Divine Venerable not only knew how to use the techniques of these two schools but also had some knowledge of Confucianism.
Four words surfaced in Chen Yang's mind.
"Heaven's favored son?"
The Sacred Moon Divine Venerable was quite surprised that Chen Yang was unharmed. However, he soon came to understand, "Since Qin Yi chose you, it means you have some exceptional qualities."
"But I'm still a bit puzzled. What exactly do you have to compare with me?"
"Is it merely your Daoist healing skills?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's brow furrowed.
Did this Sacred Moon Divine Venerable look down on Daoist healing skills?
Chen Yang was too lazy to argue.
"Step further away."
Chen Shu was stunned when he heard this. Then, he sensed the surging inner energy emanating from Chen Yang.
Immediately after, the Heavenly Witch Earthly Soil domain was withdrawn by Chen Yang.
Seeing the mysterious quagmire that could hinder his inner energy's circulation recede, the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable immediately became vigilant.
In the blink of an eye, several silver needles in Chen Yang's hand shot towards the ground.
Like steel nails, they plunged deeply into the surrounding area.
The Heavenly Physician Art was the first technique Chen Yang learned.
Although it was inferior to the Heavenly Witch Nine Secrets, Elder Qin Yi's inheritance, and even the power brought by the furnace, it was still Chen Yang's most familiar inner energy.
With this inner energy, Chen Yang saved lives and took lives.
Since its establishment, the Heavenly Physician Hall had not only been about healing martial artists but also possessed powerful destructive capabilities that surpassed the Four Great War Gods.
Chen Yang still remembered his master's words from years ago: "The hardest thing for a physician to heal, throughout history, is themselves."
"No matter how powerful a physician, this is always the case."
The Heavenly Physician Art was born from this very principle.
It condensed the lifelong efforts of generations of physicians and integrated Daoist techniques.
As the silver needles, imbued with the inner energy of the Heavenly Physician Art, entered the ground, wisps of black mist began to emerge.
Chen Yang's figure became eerily strange, and with the enhancement of the black mist, the scene was like Yama emerging from the underworld.
If a physician cannot heal themselves, they descend into the path of death!
Looking at the immense death energy emanating from Chen Yang, even Chen Shu, who had already retreated far away, was greatly astonished.
A martial artist, even one at the peak of the Grandmaster realm who had begun body tempering!
Could absolutely not withstand the erosion of such death energy! The chaotic vital energy in the ancient battlefield was harmful because it contained many other powers. But compared to this death energy, it could even be considered a tonic.
