Chapter 523: Chapter 295: Fist and Arhat! (Part 2)

On the way home, he saw a new secret signal at the corner of a tall building.

’What’s going on? Why is there another secret signal?’

Su Que remained expressionless, though he was contemplating inside.

He knew the divine beings of the Buddhist Sect excelled at telepathy and could obtain Li Xuanji’s memories.

If one of the divine beings descended to the mortal realm, they would draw this secret signal to lure him over.

’To be cautious, I won’t go over there.’

Su Que didn’t know who had come. If it was a Bodhisattva, although his Seven Injuries Fist had grown significantly in power, he still wasn’t confident in securing a victory.

Therefore, he decided to cultivate for some more time and wait until his strength improved before going to the Imperial Palace for a look.

Even the elixir, he decided against retrieving it.

For the sake of safety, cultivating a bit more slowly was not a concern.

After all, he still had more than six thousand years of life left.

Having made up his mind, Su Que paced back home.

...

Li Xuanji arranged an exceedingly large courtyard for the Subduing Dragon, Tuo Ta, and Sitting Deer Arhats to cultivate in.

This was exactly where Emperor Jing of Liang used to seclude himself for cultivation.

The Subduing Dragon Arhat took out a bag of elixirs from his storage pouch, ingested them, and began cultivating.

After cultivating for a while, some thoughts suddenly emerged in his mind.

"According to Li Xuanji’s memories, that mysterious person also possessed telepathy and would know about us after killing the Subduing Tiger."

The Subduing Dragon Arhat said to the other two Arhats:

"If Li Xuanji reconstructs the Great Buddha Temple around this time, and that person hears about it, wouldn’t it be clear we have come?"

"That way, we wouldn’t be able to lure him here."

"According to Li Xuanji’s memories, that person is very likely living in the Capital City."

"Why don’t we split into three groups and use telepathy on every citizen in the Capital City?"

"We might be able to find that person."

"If something goes wrong, call immediately."

Within the Eighteen Arhats, the Subduing Tiger Arhat ranks towards the front.

The Subduing Dragon Arhat is even stronger than the Subduing Tiger Arhat, while Tuo Ta Arhat is about equal, and Sitting Deer Arhat is weaker.

The Subduing Dragon Arhat thought that even if Tuo Ta Arhat and Sitting Deer Arhat acted separately, they wouldn’t be killed by the mysterious person at once.

As long as they called in time, he could go over immediately.

After the Subduing Dragon Arhat finished speaking, Tuo Ta and Sitting Deer Arhats nodded in agreement.

Soon, the three Arhats stood up from their sitting positions, stepping into the void, heading toward the Capital City from above.

They stood high in the sky, overlooking the Capital City, and quickly divided the areas to perform telepathy.

Subsequently, the three Arhats went towards their respective areas.

The Sitting Deer Arhat made a hand seal.

Suddenly, a white light flew toward him from the direction of the Imperial Palace.

He stepped onto the white light, which solidified into form, revealing itself as the sitting mount of the Sitting Deer Arhat, a giant white deer.

The Sitting Deer Arhat, riding the giant deer, headed toward the region of Su Que.

When he neared the skies above Su Que’s area, he swept his spiritual power downwards, using telepathy on the residents.

...

After Su Que finished eating, he boiled water, took a bath, then sat cross-legged on the bed, cultivating Circulation of the Six Void Skill.

Circulation of the Six Void Skill (26% Peak of the 8th Realm) [Lower Level Extremist Technique]

Suddenly, Su Que felt a rather strong aura.

This aura was somewhat similar to the Subduing Tiger Arhat, although strong, it was not on par with the Subduing Tiger Arhat.

’A divine being from the Buddhist Sect has indeed come down!’

Su Que subtly released a wisp of spirit, leaving his body and flying toward the sky, only to detect a monk riding a deer, using telepathy on the citizens of the Capital City.

Furthermore, that Arhat’s spirit was about to cover this area.

Su Que immediately retracted that wisp of spirit, noticing Su Jing wasn’t outside. He put on a mask, changed into martial attire, and swiftly left the house.

He initially planned to leave before the Arhat arrived.

But on second thought, if the Arhat used telepathy on Su Jing, he would know everything about him, thus detecting the anomaly.

No matter what, he couldn’t completely evade it. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

’Since this Arhat isn’t very strong, why not just kill him now!’

With this thought, Su Que leapt out of the residence, and after dashing a mile, circled behind the Sitting Deer Arhat, suddenly soaring upwards.

The Sitting Deer Arhat was performing telepathy when he suddenly shivered, immediately stopping the telepathy and turning around swiftly.

He immediately saw a figure wearing a grim ghostly mask, dressed in black martial attire, long hair billowing, flying toward him.

This image was exactly what he had seen in Li Xuanji’s memory!

’Finally, he’s here!’

The Sitting Deer Arhat felt a moment of joy, but seeing the fierce momentum of this person, he was immediately startled.

He vaulted into the air, intending for the white deer beneath him to stall this person first.

He planned to use this time to call on the Subduing Dragon Arhat and Tuo Ta Arhat.

Beneath him, the white deer was attuned to his mind.

With a mental command, the white deer suddenly stomped the void, its figure flickering, creating a blurred afterimage that stirred the surrounding air, crashing toward Su Que.

At the same time, lightning suddenly descended from the sky, striking the white deer’s two huge antlers.

The antlers were immediately covered with dazzling lightning glints.

The Sitting Deer Arhat was on the verge of opening his mouth to emit Buddhist chants, summoning the Subduing Dragon Arhat and Tuo Ta Arhat over.

However, the area he was in suddenly dimmed.

Everything in that region lost its color.

It was Su Que who, at this time, used a skill of the Dark Evil Fist – Time Pause.

With the enhancement of the Dark Evil Fist realm and cultivation level, the duration of the pause was prolonged.

At this moment, the giant deer that was dashing in the air abruptly halted.

The electric threads on its antlers also suddenly froze.

As did the Sitting Deer Arhat behind it, his mouth open at two-tenths could not continue opening.

The uplifted Adam’s apple paused at a spot on his neck.

After casting "Time Pause," Su Que threw out a punch.

The intent of the Seven Injuries Fist plunged into the giant deer’s body.

The pure white body of the deer shattered into mincemeat, and a shower of blood fell from the sky.

After smashing the deer, the fist’s intent continued its unfaltering progress, pouring into the Sitting Deer Arhat’s body before time resumed.

At that very moment, Su Que exerted his heart.

The intent within the Sitting Deer Arhat exploded into ten small fireballs.

The next moment, time resumed its flow.

Ten small fireballs erupted within the Sitting Deer Arhat’s body.

Flames immediately burst from the Seven Apertures of the Sitting Deer Arhat.

The flames broke through his Buddhist body protection aura, incinerated his internal organs, and seared his throat.

Even if he wanted to call for help from the other two Arhats, and despite feeling intense pain inside, he couldn’t utter a sound.

Su Que immediately focused his mind, splitting an Affiliated Demon Seed, embedding it into the Sitting Deer Arhat’s Dantian.

...

Meanwhile, the Subduing Dragon Arhat and Tuo Ta Arhat, who were using telepathy, suddenly felt a chill in their hearts.

’The Sitting Deer Arhat’s presence is on the brink of vanishing!’

They immediately realized the Sitting Deer Arhat had encountered trouble, halting their telepathic activity, and headed toward where the Sitting Deer Arhat was.

...

Su Que, while using his spirit to envelop the Sitting Deer Arhat, ensuring his presence completely vanished,

simultaneously activated the Affiliated Demon Seed to fully connect with the Sitting Deer Arhat’s essence, spirit, and soul.

He also carried the Sitting Deer Arhat, flying toward a place.

The next moment, he sensed two formidable presences coming his way.

One presence was stronger than the Subduing Tiger, and the other was equivalent.

After flying for a while, Su Que sensed that the Affiliated Demon Seed was fully connected with the Sitting Deer Arhat’s essence, spirit, and soul.

He immediately invoked telepathy, acquiring the Sitting Deer Arhat’s memories.

Then, he retracted the Affiliated Demon Seed from the Sitting Deer Arhat’s Dantian.

The Affiliated Demon Seed entered his Dantian, merging with his Lifebound Demon Seed.

Instantly, he felt an indescribable life force pouring into his body.

He thought for a moment and called up his attributes.

Remaining lifespan: 7056

Gaining the Sitting Deer Arhat’s essence, spirit, and soul instantly prolonged his life by over three hundred years.

Moreover, he acquired the memories of the Sitting Deer Arhat.

He learned that among the divine beings from the Buddhist Sect who descended to the Lower Realm this time, there were no Bodhisattvas, only the three Arhats: Sitting Deer, Subduing Dragon, and Tuo Ta.
