Six Buddhist Divine Powers [Supernatural Footwork]

Lu Bu looked displeased, placed his Heavenly Halberd beside him, took the Dragon Tongue Bow from his back, nocked an arrow, gathered his energy, looked around, and spread his divine sense to search for Zhi Xie's figure.

Zhi Xie, who seemed to have emerged from the void, moved to a distance and looked back in the direction where Lu Bu was.

Their eyes met for a fleeting moment, as if lightning flashed between them. Lu Bu concentrated his murderous aura into the arrow, and with a single shot, the violent arrow streaked past like lightning, impossible to catch.

Zhi Xie's expression changed, and his true energy surged out. The black Buddha phantom behind him seemed to solidify, and the Buddha's Hand, which had been shattered by Lu Bu, also grew back under the blessing of his true energy. Although it had the appearance of a Buddha, it was full of violent energy and looked fierce.

The giant Buddha slammed down, blocking Lu Bu's arrow. The murderous aura shattered. Just as Lu Bu was about to draw his bow again, a glint flashed in Zhi Xie's eyes. He had an opportunity. He wouldn't repeat his previous mistake. He concealed his aura.

With a swift movement of his legs, Zhi Xie's figure reappeared on Lu Bu's left side in an instant, as the black Buddha behind him raised one hand and slapped down towards Lu Bu.

Seeing Zhi Xie suddenly disappear, Lu Bu knew that the guy had returned. He scanned his surroundings with his divine sense and found that he had already drawn his bow, nocked an arrow, and was waiting for the enemy.

Suddenly, Lu Bu felt a suppressive aura appear on his left, and he turned to look at Zhi Xie. He released his right hand and fired an arrow, which flew swiftly towards him.

"Ah!"

The power of Zhi Xie was mostly contained in the Buddha's Buddha's Hand that struck down. The arrow shot by Lu Bu directly pierced through the true energy around him and went straight through his left shoulder.

Faced with the Buddha's Hand that had been struck, Lu Bu felt that his murderous aura was being suppressed too much. Since his blood and qi were insufficient, he would make up for it with his true qi.

Lu Bu exuded a chilling aura. He clenched his right fist and unleashed an incomparably domineering burst of true energy from his right arm. At the same time, all the blood and energy in his body were drawn together and gathered in his right fist.

This punch was like a thunderbolt, violent and domineering, like a ferocious god, shattering everything and tearing the Buddha's Hand's hand apart.

After the attack, Lu Bu's right arm trembled slightly as he blocked the Buddha's Buddha's Hand. Even though Lu Bu was Body Cultivator at the Peak Ascension Realm, several bloody marks still flowed from his fist, and he couldn't help but take three steps back. As he retreated, Lu Bu grabbed the Heavenly Halberd beside him with one hand.

As soon as he stopped, Lu Bu, wielding his Heavenly Halberd, lunged forward, his eyes filled with a fierce light. This monk's secret technique was indeed formidable; his movements were as if he were teleporting, leaving no time for anyone to react.

However, there are ways to counter him. In close combat, as long as you are no less skilled than him, you can disrupt his energy flow and prevent him from having a chance to use his abilities.

Once this person creates even a slight distance and uses this secret technique to escape, you'll only be left with the feeling of being kited.

He did the same thing twice before. Once you repelled the person, there was no chance to get close again. You had to stick to that person the whole time. His previous moves, which repelled the person, actually gave that person an opportunity. That situation won't happen again now.

"Puff!"

With an arrow piercing his shoulder, and the force of Lu Bu's attack striking him, Zhi Xie coughed up another mouthful of blood. Looking at Lu Bu, who was now right in front of him, Zhi Xie's eyes showed surprise, helplessness, and a hint of fear.

How did this guy figure it out this time?

It's too late.

"[Black Sun Glazed, My Buddha Takes Refuge]."

Zhi Xie's expression hardened, and he roared. The black Buddha behind him instantly shrank, completely enveloping Zhi Xie's body. Finally, the black Buddha, more than three meters tall, seemed to have descended upon the world.

Its face was bared and claws were bared, its whole body was pitch black, and it was full of violence, ferocity, and evil, completely devoid of any Buddhist intention.

"Zheng."

"Bang."

In an instant, the Buddha transformed from Zhi Xie clashed with Lu Bu, fighting him bare- Heavenly Halberd with Lu Bu physical body. His entire body was like a Vajra Buddha, seemingly indestructible.

As the Heavenly Halberd slashed a gash in Zhi Xie's body, it was instantly healed by his inner energy. Lu Bu, caught in the midst of the battle, looked on with a hint of doubt. Was this guy really Buddhist?

What was once certain has now become uncertain.

Where can one find a Buddha's practice like this? His entire body is pitch black, black smoke billows out, devoid of any Buddhist intent, filled only with violence.

The man's initial move was indeed a genuine Buddhist technique; even in the current fight, Lu Bu still felt the suppression of his own murderous aura.

But this guy looks even more sinister than him, and he even has a Buddhist aura? And he can suppress his malevolent energy?

During the battle, Zhi Xie's voice seemed devoid of any emotion, its icy tone reaching Lu Bu's ears.

"General Lü, this humble monk is very curious to know, how did you detect my [Supernatural Footwork]?"

[Supernatural Footwork]?

A strange look flashed in Lu Bu's eyes. He thought about how this guy's legs seemed to become ethereal every time he disappeared—was that the name of that secret technique?

Lu Bu did not answer Zhi Xie, but continued his offensive while speaking with a playful tone.

How much longer do you think you can hold out?

As he spoke, Lu Bu slashed through Zhi Xie's chest with his halberd, shattering the body in front of the black Buddha and revealing Zhi Xie, who was still protected by the black Buddha. Despite this, Lu Bu still managed to leave a wound on his chest.

Although his true energy instantly covered the area again, Lu Bu still saw it. Of course, the main reason was that Zhi Xie's aura was slowly weakening. This guy was only holding on by relying on his true energy and that secret technique of transforming into a Vajra Buddha statue.

Upon hearing this, Zhi Xie, who was enveloped in the black Buddha statue, frowned. Of course he knew, but Lu Bu had been attacking him relentlessly, giving him no chance to use his [Supernatural Footwork] ability and preventing him from escaping.

They can only rely on the body-condensing secret technique from the [Black Sun Glazed Sutra] to barely hold on. In this situation, the price to leave would be extremely high!

But waiting for Lu Bu to reveal a weakness before using his [Supernatural Footwork] technique was no longer an option; Lü Bu was nearing his limit. At this moment, Zhi Xie couldn't help but regret why he hadn't taken this person seriously from the beginning.

Otherwise, how could this be?

From the moment he received news of Lu Bu and learned that Lu Bu had cultivated his body with murderous energy, he never imagined that he would lose.

Putting aside his confidence in his own strength, his Buddhist skills alone exerted considerable pressure on him, and he did not believe that Lu Bu would be his match.

But in this situation, if I don't risk my life, I might lose my head!

Forget about success or failure, I might even lose my life here.

Thinking of all this, Zhi Xie stubbornly maintained his true energy, even though he was already at a disadvantage and about to be defeated, he still stubbornly said.

"General Lü, you Dual Cultivation of Body and Law and magical cultivation, a talent beyond compare. You are very strong. In terms of strength alone, you are no less capable than Jing Zhonglai of the Xuantian Dao Sect who Dagan against you."

"Today's battle with General Lü was exhilarating!"

"It's a draw. Next time, I'll have the chance to properly learn General Lü's divine skills."

As he spoke, a hint of heartache seemed to flash in Zhi Xie's eyes, a mixture of regret and deep sorrow. In an instant, his expression hardened, and he roared.

"[Black Sun Illumination]."
