The Arhat Fist Was Incredibly Effective
Before Zhao Po could finish his shock, the four of them felt a vast and chilling spiritual energy rising from the bottom of the pool.
A vengeful ghost, its feet wrapped in seaweed and its body soaking wet, flew out and looked at Lu Yang, its cold eyes carrying a hint of fear.
"Good, good, good! At such a young age, he has already mastered the art of concealing one's power within one's sleeve. As expected of the Great Xia Dynasty, a land of abundant resources and treasures, he is truly an extraordinary genius!" The Drowned Ghost stared at Lu Yang with a deathly expression, considering him the greatest threat.
The absence of Law Treasure fluctuations indicates that it must be a spatial Law Technique. Absorbing a pool of water with one's sleeve can only be a technique called "a universe within a sleeve"!
To be able to learn such a difficult Law Technique at the Golden Core stage—what an extraordinary genius!
Lu Yang narrowed his eyes and demanded, "Oh, so you're not a vengeful ghost from the Great Xia? Where did you come from, and why are you in Hanshui City!"
The drowned ghost sneered, dismissing Lu Yang's question with disdain, "Why should I tell you?"
These kids in front of me have Law Technique talent, but we're separated by a whole realm. What makes them think they can defeat me?
Ignorant of one's own limitations.
After saying that, the drowned ghost turned and ran away.
Just kidding, why would he fight if he could escape?
"Trying to run? Take this punch!"
Meng Jingzhou made the first move, unleashing the Arhat Fist. The sound of Buddhist chanting reverberated, and pure Yang true fire covered the surface of his fist, constantly undulating.
"It's so hot!" The drowned ghost hadn't expected Meng Jingzhou to be so fast. Caught off guard, it took a full hit head-on. Both Buddhist Cultivation Method and Pure Yang True Fire are top-notch methods for suppressing vengeful ghosts. With the two combined, the drowned ghost couldn't withstand them at all!
"Golden Core cultivator displaying Nascent Soul Realm combat power, and this technique... you're not from the Corpse Driving Sect!" The Drowned Ghost underestimated his opponent, causing him to lose the initiative.
"Looks like I'm not leaving here today without dealing with you little brats!" The Drowned Ghost gritted his teeth, unwilling to cause any more trouble.
"Hmph, you think you can escape after drowning mortals in a basin of water?"
"Damn it, what does it matter to you if I drown a mortal? You cultivators of Great Xia are just annoying!" The drowned ghost cursed. The water was his home ground, but Lu Yang had already taken it over, so he didn't want to fight under these circumstances.
Since we can't escape now, we might as well fight!
"The water is as deep as an abyss!"
The inky black water spread out from beneath the drowned ghost's feet, the water thick and viscous like blood, and in the blink of an eye it had reached the four people's feet.
The biting cold traveled from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, and it took a lot of effort to move my body. What was worse was that after being touched by the inky water, my breathing became difficult, as if I was suffocating.
Those at the Golden Core stage can complete their own internal circulation and do not need to breathe, so they should no longer experience suffocation. However, the inky waters can still drown everyone.
Lu Yang brought his index and middle fingers together and shouted, "Break!"
The inky waters receded, and everyone regained their senses.
What happened just now was not a real scene, but an illusion, a tactic often used by drowned ghosts, and Lu Yang's Cultivation Method happens to be able to counter illusions!
The illusion shattered, revealing endless water plants entwining the group. This was the reason the drowned ghost had drowned, and now it had become one of his abilities.
"Sweep!" The Qingfeng sword pierced the ground, and endless Sword Qi spread across the ground, severing the roots of the water plants.
"Attack together! Use the 'Slay' technique!"
"Arhat Fist!"
"Overbearing Barbarian King Fist!"
The three attacked the Drowned Ghost simultaneously. The Drowned Ghost swayed slightly, leaving afterimages in place, before its true form instantly appeared behind Man Gu. A piece of waterweed appeared in its hand and wrapped around Man Gu's neck.
This kid looks honest and simple; he should be the easiest to deal with.
Without even looking behind him, Man Gu jerked his head back sharply, slamming it into the drowning ghost, leaving it dazed and disoriented, causing it to involuntarily release the waterweed in its hand.
The three humans and the ghost were locked in battle once again. The three peerless geniuses were besieging the Nascent Soul level evil ghost, leaving Zhao Po unsure of how to intervene and help.
The battle before him was no longer something he could interfere with; it was a battle between the Nascent Soul Realm.
"What happened to everyone being at the Golden Core stage?" Zhao Po felt like he had cultivated a fake Golden Core stage.
"Arhat Fist!" Lu Yang also unleashed the Arhat Fist infused with Samadhi Fire.
The drowned ghost was prepared and dodged repeatedly, but Lu Yang was also using "shrinking earth" to move around underground while punching, making it impossible to defend against. One of his punches hit the drowned ghost's shoulder.
Ignoring the pain from the real fire and the fist techniques, the drowned ghost discovered something even more terrifying.
"My hair!"
The drowned ghost's hair was in clumps, the kind that had been soaked in water, which was very distinctive. Now, with the help of the Arhat Fist, his hair was falling out, and there was no way to stop it.
"Huh, so it works on ghosts too." Lu Yang was also slightly surprised. He simply wanted to use Buddhist Law Technique to subdue the evil spirits, not to make him lose his hair.
"Eighteen consecutive hammer blows!" Man Gu pulled out a large iron hammer and, while playing the sage's words, frantically smashed the drowned ghost.
"You're a Confucian cultivator?!" The drowned ghost's face changed drastically as he felt the righteous aura emanating from the giant iron hammer.
Long-term study of Confucian classics can cultivate a gentlemanly and upright character. Although Man Gu's learning progress is slow, his attitude is commendable. His long-term study has also endowed him with a noble and upright character.
The attacks of Lu Yang and his two companions were filled with masculine power, and the yin Yin Qi lingering above the pool was becoming increasingly thin. If they continued fighting, they might be able to directly disperse the Yin Qi that was lingering there!
The drowned ghost was furious. He had finally found such a good spot, only to have it ruined by these three. He roared, "You... pfft... don't... pfft... force me... pfft... stop fighting, I surrender!"
In a one-on-one battle, Lu Yang would use the Invincible Pill to speed up the fight. With three against one, it would be a complete rout, and he wouldn't need to use the Invincible Pill at all.
The drowned ghost lay sprawled on the ground, utterly despondent.
Arhat Fist, True Fire, Righteous Qi... The drowned ghost wondered if he hadn't checked the almanac before going out today. There were only a few ways to subdue vengeful ghosts in the world, and he had encountered them all.
Losing home-field advantage, having methods specifically designed to counter vengeful spirits, and possessing the genius to fight beyond one's level—it would be a miracle if I could win under these circumstances!
"They won just like that?" Zhao Po and the zombie stepped forward, still in a daze. The battle had started and ended too quickly for him to keep up.
Zhao Po's talent is not weak, but compared to Lu Yang and the other two, his talent is slightly inferior, and his experience is far inferior.
Although he often roamed the martial world and experienced many things, his experience seemed meager compared to Lu Yang and his two companions, who frequently joined demonic sects, challenged opponents of higher levels, and acted recklessly.
Lu Yang took out a soul-dispelling talisman, which frightened the drowned ghost into retreating one after another.
"Wait, wait, I haven't done anything to deserve this."
Lu Yang remained unmoved, his hands continuing their work, "You've already drowned someone, and you still have the nerve to say your crime doesn't warrant this?"
"It's all fake! The person isn't dead! Look at the bottom of the pool, they're alive and well!" the drowned ghost screamed in terror.
Lu Yang peered down and saw that there was indeed a living woman below. It seemed that the living corpse had mistaken the woman for a dead one.
The spiritual energy was released, forming a giant hand that grabbed the woman and placed her alongside the drowned ghost.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
