Inside the Ghoul's Lair.
At this moment, Li Changfeng and the others were meditating on the spot, slowly recovering their injuries and true energy. Then, Yuan Bei Yuanbei slowly opened his eyes, "Jue Kong! I'm healed! Without further ado, let's go and repair that array eye now!"
"Alright! Let's go now!"
"Miss Murong! Are you coming along too?"
"Of course I'm going! How could I not go on something so exciting!"
"Alright! Since you're coming along too, it's not a bad thing. At least we have one more top-tier expert here!"
At this moment, Li Changfeng and the others arrived at the core of the formation. There, they saw four fierce and ferocious stone statues. Two of them had already been shattered, while the remaining two were continuously transmitting streams of black ghost energy into the core, determined to destroy it in one fell swoop!
Yuan Bei Yuanbei said sadly, "Back then, we joined forces to smash those two weaker stone statues. Even so, many deacons and disciples died, and I was possessed by a stone gargoyle and escaped. If it weren't for you, Jue Kong, I might have perished together with that stone gargoyle!"
"Yuan Bei! How strong are these two gargoyles?"
"The leader of the gargoyles is extremely powerful; even I couldn't suppress it, and was instead overpowered by it! The other one should be about as strong as the mysterious people you fought, Jue Kong! With your strength, you should be able to kill it!"
"Yuan Bei! How long can you hold out against that gargoyle leader?"
"About an hour! If it doesn't last an hour, I'm afraid it will kill me!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng solemnly replied, "Alright! Yuan Bei, you and Miss Murong keep the leader of the gargoyles occupied, and I'll go kill the other gargoyle. I'll kill it as soon as possible and then come back to help you!"
After speaking, Li Changfeng took the lead and made a move. His whole body's true energy erupted, and he activated the [Draconic Elephant Prajna] and used the third move of the [Vajra Palm of Immense Strength], "Vajra Body Empowerment". A domineering and fierce light golden true energy slowly condensed on his body, a demon-subduing halo appeared on his arms, and a 45-zhang-tall Great Vajra phantom appeared behind him.
Then, the 45-zhang-tall Vajra phantom directly attached itself to Li Changfeng, immediately emitting a dazzling light. Its entire body turned golden-bronze, and illusory runes faintly appeared. Behind it, the awe-inspiring power of a dragon and an elephant was revealed.
With 103 years of Inner Force, plus his own strength of a thousand jin, he unleashed a force of 9,800 jin, violently striking out a golden giant palm fifty zhang in size towards the gargoyle.
The gargoyle sensed the movement behind it and was startled. It flapped its wings and took to the air, dodging the violent and domineering palm strike.
"Boom!"
Li Changfeng's fifty-foot-long golden palm slammed directly onto the core of the formation, producing a deafening explosion. The ghostly energy that had been accumulating at the core was instantly extinguished. The remaining palm force, instead of being affected, slowly absorbed Li Changfeng's remaining palm force.
The lead gargoyle flew into a rage upon seeing this, yelling, "Damn it! You wretched brat! You've made me waste months of my hard work! You're utterly unforgivable!"
After saying that, he charged violently toward Li Changfeng, wanting to kill the boy in one fell swoop to vent his hatred. Suddenly, a golden palm print slammed toward the Gargoyle Leader. Upon seeing this, the Gargoyle Leader quickly twisted backward in mid-air to dodge the sneak attack, and looked at Elder Yuan Bei with a face full of anger.
"It's you again, you old bald monk, ruining our plans!"
"Hmph! A good thing? You call it a good thing that you released the Ghost King and caused havoc in the region? What a joke!"
"You old bald monk! You're asking for it!!"
After saying this, the Gargoyle Leader suddenly flapped its wings, creating a sonic boom in the air, and charged fiercely towards Yuan Bei, leaving a dark claw mark that aimed at Yuan Bei's chest.
Meanwhile, a fierce battle had already broken out on Li Changfeng's side. The gargoyle was incredibly fast, leaving afterimages in the air, making it impossible for Li Changfeng to hit it. His expression was extremely ugly.
The gargoyle looked at Li Changfeng with a mocking expression, then fiercely unleashed a black claw mark fifty feet long, charging towards Li Changfeng.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng's expression turned solemn. He unleashed his true energy, activated the [Draconic Elephant Prajna], and used the third move of the [Shaolin Dragon Claw Hand], "Double Dragons Emerging from the Sea". Li Changfeng's hands transformed into dragon claws, and a fierce and domineering true energy condensed in his claws. The claws suddenly struck out two lifelike dragon claw imprints, each fifty feet long.
With 103 years of Inner Force, he struck with a force of 9,800 jin, directly withstanding the gargoyle's 50-zhang-long black claw mark.
"Bang!"
A muffled explosion rang out, and Li Changfeng shattered the fifty-foot-long black claw mark of the gargoyle in one fell swoop. The remaining dragon claw mark went straight for the gargoyle, but upon seeing this, the gargoyle flapped its wings and created a blur in the air, dodging the attack.
At this moment, another dragon claw print hidden by Li Changfeng also came over. The gargoyle was startled when it saw this. This time it was a premeditated attack, and it couldn't dodge it at all. It could only protect its whole body with its two wings, letting the domineering and fierce dragon claw print hit it directly!
"Bang"!
A muffled thud was heard as the gargoyle was violently slammed away by the domineering and fierce dragon claw print. It spat out a stream of blackish-green blood in the air and crashed directly into the rock wall, instantly shattering it. The gargoyle was embedded several feet deep in the rock, demonstrating its extremely powerful force!
Seeing this, Li Changfeng pressed his advantage, unleashing his full power and using the third move of the [Vajra Leg of Immense Power], "Vajra's Wrath." A surge of powerful true energy condensed throughout his body, and a powerful Vajra Arhat phantom appeared behind him, its eyes gleaming with golden light. He leaped into the air and suddenly unleashed a leg strike.
The illusory image of the mighty Arhat Vajra behind him also unleashed a leg strike, using 103 years of Inner Force plus his own 1,000 jin strength to deliver a force of 9,700 jin, attacking the gargoyle once again.
"Bang"!!!
A loud crash of shattering rocks rang out, and the powerful leg force shattered the rock that was pinning the gargoyle. The kick then struck the gargoyle, creating a large crater in its body. The surrounding rocks were sent flying everywhere, crashing violently into nearby rock walls. The force was truly ferocious!
"Roar"!!!
The gargoyle roared and unleashed a dark red claw mark fifty feet long, hurtling towards Li Changfeng. Li Changfeng was startled and hastily activated the Shaolin Bronze Body Skill, protecting his chest with both hands and channeling an extremely powerful Vajra Power into his body.
"Clang"!
A metallic clang rang out as Li Changfeng was sent flying by the enraged, dark red claw mark, crashing directly into the rock wall. The impact shattered the rock, burying him beneath large boulders.
"Bang"!
Li Changfeng unleashed his true energy, shaking the boulder that had been engulfing him. Blood flowed from his hands, revealing a long, thin wound. He then gently wiped the wound with his palm, causing the muscles to tighten and close up, leaving only a thin red line.
The gargoyle slowly crawled out, its left wing torn off by Li Changfeng's dragon claw mark, leaving only half hanging there. Its chest was caved in, and it suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, staring at Li Changfeng with a ferocious expression...
