The Black Robe Monk had made his name in a battle in the Jade Clarity Immortal Realm a hundred years ago. Representing the Thunder Sound Immortal Sect, he had challenged Second Transcendence Realm experts from the other immortal sects without suffering a single defeat.
Afterward, the Black Robe Monk had vanished without a trace.
Rumor had it that he had gone to temper himself through experience. Who could have imagined he was in the Nine Abyss Forbidden Area—and had become a monster?
Demonic energy shrouded the Black Robe Monk's body, while demonic light burst from within him. Half righteous, half evil, he looked deeply uncanny.
The aura emanating from him was terrifying. He had already reached the Second Transcendence Realm.
Chu Hongjiao was only at One Tribulation Transcendence. Even though the Black Robe Monk had become a monster, she was no match for him.
"Damn it, there's no time!"
Chu Hongjiao frowned. Lightning flickered along the nine-section whip in her hand, turning into nine bolts that blasted toward the Black Robe Monk.
But the Black Robe Monk gathered Buddhist light in one hand and demonic energy in the other. He wove them together and struck out with a palm imprint imbued with the power of both demon and Buddha, smashing all nine bolts of lightning.
The palm imprint then drove forward like a blade through bamboo, hurtling straight toward Chu Hongjiao.
Pfft!
Chu Hongjiao's slender body shuddered. She flew backward and slammed into Lu Ren, sending him flying as well.
As Lu Ren was thrown back, he wrapped both arms around Chu Hongjiao. The two of them slid across the crystalline ice.
But in the next instant, the Black Robe Monk appeared before Lu Ren. Bringing his hands together, he unleashed another demon-Buddha palm imprint at Chu Hongjiao.
"Not good!"
