"How dare you! You even interfere in the affairs of my City Lord's Mansion!"
Before Zhou Yuanshang could speak, the guards from the City Lord's Mansion behind him shouted sternly.
The simple monk didn't say a word, just stood silently in front of everyone, while Zhou Yuanshang stared at him intently, his eyes filled with fierceness.
"Monk, you should know that the Li Family killed my son. This grudge... must be avenged!"
He can't even care when his own son is killed; what authority does he have left?
He didn't make any rash moves, but simply stared coldly at the monk in front of him.
Others couldn't tell, but Zhou Yuanshang. The monk's internal True Qi was abundant, clearly indicating that he was also a Martial Dao Grandmaster master.
Could it be that he killed my son?
Thinking of this, the coldness in Zhou Yuanshang's eyes intensified to an extreme.
There are differences even among Martial Dao Grandmaster. For example, this monk's True Qi has not yet been fully condensed, which means he has only recently become Martial Dao Grandmaster.
The simple monk remained silent, merely gazing at Zhou Yuanshang. In truth, he wasn't a genuine monk, which explained why he always kept his hair long.
He actually wanted to become a Buddhist Sect, but when he went there, the Abbot said that he had not yet satisfied his selfish desires and could not become a monk, so he was allowed to experience life in the human world.
However, the Abbot accepted him as Disciple.
This incident of helping the Li Family reveals that he is indeed very selfish, lacks the great compassion of the Buddhist Sect, and mostly acts according to his own ideas.
Zhou Yuanshang took a Long Spear from his subordinate, his eyes filled with coldness.
"Monk, I'm giving you one last chance. Either get out of here, or die!"
The simple and kind man remained standing there, his expression utterly indifferent, showing no intention of moving aside.
"Patron, lay down your butcher's knife."
"Good, good, good." Zhou Yuanshang's eyes revealed a fierce killing intent. He acted very quickly, picking up the Long Spear and turning into a blur as he attacked the monk.
The monk's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.
He should have died thirteen years ago, but today he is determined to protect the Li Family no matter what.
The monk was gradually enveloped in a layer of golden light, resembling a gilded Buddha, and reached out with his bare hands to grab Zhou Yuanshang's Long Spear.
"Clang!"
Like the sound of steel clashing, the monk took three steps back, while Zhou Yuanshang took one step back.
Zhou Yuanshang sneered. He raised his Long Spear and charged towards the monk like a dragon, his speed and agility were so fast and agile, and his footwork was constantly changing, making him almost impossible to catch.
"The Diamond Sutra, this Cultivation Method does have decent defensive capabilities, but it's nothing more than an iron shell. Watch as this City Lord breaks through your defenses."
The ear-piercing, sharp sounds of collision echoed through the street. The monk kept retreating, but even the Diamond Sutra was not omnipotent. Before long, blood began to flow from his body, and his face showed signs of pain.
Zhou Yuanshang said coldly, "Monk, if you retreat now, I, the City Lord, can pretend that today's events never happened. But if you remain here, I will surely kill you!"
He could tell who the monk was, and he didn't want to make an enemy of him unless absolutely necessary.
Behind this monk are cultivators.
The monk simply said calmly, "I can't give in!"
"This I knows that the Li Family are all kind-hearted people. Such people should not die. From beginning to end, it was your City Lord's Mansion that stirred up trouble. Your son Zhou Bi died, which was his own fault, and he has no one else to blame."
Zhou Yuanshang's eyes were filled with coldness. "Fine, it seems you're determined to die today."
His attacks became increasingly frightening, his Long Spear grew ever more ruthless, and the ear-piercing sounds of their collisions rang out continuously. Every clash between the two was like the forging of iron.
At the same time, an invisible Inner Force spread out, causing the walls along the street to sway precariously.
The simple monk was retreating steadily; he was no match for Zhou Yuanshang, but he had reasons to stop him here.
At first.
His Lineage was similar to the Li Family; it was a very ordinary Lineage with about fifty members. He was very young at the time, only five or six years old.
One day, a group of Bandits broke into his home, burning, killing, and looting. In the end, they even left five children behind to kill each other.
The monk was the most timid; he was so frightened that he dared not move, curled up in a ball, trembling. But he had an older brother.
His brother went berserk and killed the remaining three children.
Just when the monk thought he was going to be killed, his brother plunged a dagger into his chest. He still can't forget his brother's smile before he died, and those three words.
Live on!
The monk survived in the end.
The Bandits laughed heartily, their mocking gazes fixed on him. They were arrogant, thinking the monk posed no threat, and so they let him go.
Afterwards, the monk, filled with hatred, went to learn martial arts.
It was only then that he realized he was a martial arts Heavenly Prodigy, and given his age, which was the prime time for training, he achieved Great Achievement of martial arts in just ten years, a step away from becoming Martial Dao Grandmaster.
So he gathered information and found the band of Bandits who had wiped out his Lineage.
The monk killed everyone.
There are 103 people in total.
The monk told those who had mocked them to kill each other, and those people did not hesitate to turn their knives on their own people.
That day.
The monk laughed maniacally; only then did he truly appreciate the thrill of a powerful figure's arrival.
They can take other people's lives with impunity.
In the end, no one survived; the monk did not keep his promise and killed the last survivor.
The monk's heart could not find peace. He entered the Bore Temple seeking solace, but the Abbot refused, saying that he had not yet let go of worldly thoughts and desires.
He knelt at Bore Temple for three days before the Abbot finally accepted him as Registered Disciple, teaching him Buddhist Sect Cultivation Method and instructing him to cultivate diligently.
If one can one day abandon one's selfish desires, that is the time to completely enter the Buddhist Sect.
Before meeting the Li Family, he never understood what his worldly thoughts and selfish desires were.
Having avenged his great enemy and fulfilled his wish, he should have nothing else he wanted to do.
Seeing the Li Family's residence, he understood.
The monk couldn't stand the law of the jungle. Why should ordinary people be exploited, trampled on, and ridiculed by the strong?
On what grounds?
They just wanted to survive.
That's when the monk realized what he had to do.
Protect the vulnerable.
Therefore, he didn't want to see the Li Family repeat the same mistakes in front of him.
This is his selfish desire, his worldly thoughts!
"I'm sorry, Abbot, I can't go back to Bore Temple."
The monk's eyes were filled with determination as he charged at Zhou Yuanshang. His originally golden skin was gradually stained red with blood, especially his arms, where the skin was torn open, revealing several deep wounds that exposed the bone.
"Die!"
Zhou Yuanshang grew increasingly powerful with each attack, his offensive becoming ever more ferocious. "Your tortoise shell doesn't seem to be all that impressive. You haven't even mastered the Diamond Sutra of Bore Temple yet, have you?"
His tone was full of mockery.
If he Diamond Sutra, he might not have been able to break through this defense. Unfortunately, Zhou Yuanshang had clearly not been cultivating for long enough to grasp the essence of the Diamond Sutra.
