I Can Replicate Martial Arts-Chapter 179 - 95: When Cursing the Old Nun, Do It Behind Her Back

Chapter 179: Chapter 95: When Cursing the Old Nun, Do It Behind Her Back

A splitting headache suddenly shot through Zhao Rui, and he had no choice but to redirect most of his energy back to his Charm Technique to resist the Demon Sound.

Their Power levels were currently about the same, and since both specialized in Divine Soul Attacks, they were surprisingly locked in an even fight.

"Heavenly Demon Illusionary Sound Technique, copy progress at three percent..."

’So slow!’

Seeing that his prolonged assault was getting nowhere and the system’s copying was so slow, Zhao Rui didn’t dare drag out the fight, afraid his opponent had some dirty trick up his sleeve.

’I’d better just run and get those big shots to come deal with him.’

With that thought, Zhao Rui launched a flurry of attacks, preparing to disengage and retreat.

However, before he could take a step to flee, the space above the chasm floor suddenly blazed with light. A beam of sword energy, like a bolt of lightning, tore through the air and shot down toward the youth.

’It’s the Qiushui Changtian Sword!’

The youth’s expression changed. He hastily executed a Body Technique to dodge the attack.

"You vile Demon, today you die!"

Just then, Nun Lejing vaulted down the cliff face, landing at the bottom of the chasm.

Several figures followed her, bounding down the cliff face and gradually closing in.

They were none other than the group that had besieged the youth earlier.

The youth’s face was grim. He scanned his surroundings, then suddenly let out a laugh and sat down cross-legged.

He began to chant a bizarre scripture.

"By the sacred name of the Great Mola, Supreme Venerable! Let flesh and blood be the raft to cross the sea of karma, the five poisons the oars to light the torch of sin..."

The crowd felt a Demon Sound that pierced straight to their Divine Souls wash over them, causing them to stagger and lose their footing.

They had no choice but to sit down cross-legged and circulate their energy to resist the Demon Sound’s assault.

Zhao Rui was not faring well either. His Power was the lowest of the group. Although the Charm Immortal Technique kept his mind clear, his lack of Power made resisting a severe strain.

"Heavenly Demon Illusionary Sound Technique, copy progress at five percent..."

Zhao Rui sat cross-legged, the system’s voice continuing to report the copy progress in his mind.

Clearly, this scripture was also being empowered by the Heavenly Demon Illusory Sound.

"It’s the Mola Nirvana Scripture!"

The eyebrows and beard of the old man who had been pursuing the youth bristled, his eyes wide with horror.

Having arrived last, he was at the rear of the group. He immediately shouted, "Nun Lejing, quickly, unleash the Divine Sword! Don’t let him complete his Nirvana!"

Hearing the old man’s words, Nun Lejing frowned. In her brief moment of hesitation, the youth’s chanting boomed out once more.

"Nirvana is not cessation, but the dawn of endless night!

Let the Buddhas fall from their lotus thrones, and the celestial dragons break their horns!

Let the Immortals be cast from the clouds, their crane chariots shattered..."

"Master, quickly!"

The old man was frantic.

"Amitabha Buddha," the white-browed monk in the kasaya beside her intoned, then said gravely, "Now is not the time to hesitate. We must first shatter this Nirvana Skill." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Liao Jing considered for a moment, then flicked her finger. The Divine Sword instantly shot into the air, erupting in a brilliant radiance.

"Everyone, lend me your strength!"

The words had barely left her mouth when the ten pursuing experts leaped into the air, moved behind her, and pressed their palms to her back.

The Treasure Sword’s radiance intensified, and it transformed into a bolt of lightning that shot straight for the youth’s forehead.

"Halt!"

The youth’s eyes opened a sliver, and a beam of black light shot out, stopping the Treasure Sword a mere three inches from his forehead.

The group immediately poured more Power into the attack, trying to force the Treasure Sword even an inch closer.

The youth, in turn, poured all his remaining Magical Power into the black light, preventing the Treasure Sword from advancing.

The entire chasm floor instantly fell into an eerie stalemate.

The chasm was lush and green, but the birds and beasts that once filled it with their calls had long since scattered and fled.

Apart from the grating sound of the Treasure Sword clashing against the black light, the entire valley was frighteningly, deathly still.

Time ticked by, second by second.

Liao Jing and the others were burning with anxiety, desperately hoping the other masters from the mountaintop would arrive soon.

But the canyon was deep. Although those reinforcements were powerful, they were a far cry from the masters already present and would not be able to descend for some time.

The youth was also in a precarious position.

Although he had successfully initiated his Nirvana Technique, the Divine Sword had interrupted the final step, preventing him from completing his escape.

The longer this dragged on, the more the Power he had gained by burning his own lifeblood would dissipate.

When that happened, forgetting Nirvana, even returning to the Heavenly Demon Pure Land would become a vain hope.

Both sides were anxiously searching for an opening; neither dared to relax for even a second.

But at that moment, there was one other person on the scene who was overjoyed.

"Heavenly Demon Illusionary Sound Technique, copy progress at forty-eight percent..."

"Heavenly Demon Illusionary Sound Technique, copy progress at fifty-eight percent..."

Zhao Rui had never imagined things could turn out so well for him.

’This isn’t a stalemate!’

’This is a private lesson from a generous master!’

Zhao Rui pushed his Six Yi Charm Immortal Technique to its limits to resist the encroaching Demon Sound, which in turn allowed the system’s copy progress to slowly tick upward.

Amidst this struggle, time slowly trickled by.

"Heavenly Demon Illusionary Sound Technique, copy progress at ninety-eight percent..."

"Heavenly Demon Illusionary Sound Technique copy complete. Reward: one Advancement Point."

Finally, the system’s completion notification chimed in Zhao Rui’s mind.

’Success!’

A torrent of information on a Martial Art flooded Zhao Rui’s mind. It was somewhat similar to the Six Yi Charm Immortal Technique, but far more comprehensive and systematic.

This set of Martial Arts contained not only the Heavenly Demon Sound Skill, but also the Heavenly Demon Secret Technique, the Demon Sound Secret Method, and many other structured Demonic Sound Martial Arts.

As the saying goes, to know one path is to know a hundred. Now that Zhao Rui understood Demonic Sound Martial Arts, listening to the Mola Nirvana Scripture again brought him a completely new level of insight.

Unfortunately, this Nirvana Scripture wasn’t an Attack Technique, so the system couldn’t recognize it to formulate a counter.

’But you can’t have everything. I should learn to be content.’

Zhao Rui’s eyes snapped open, and he struggled to his feet. His movement instantly startled everyone present.

"You?"

The youth’s eyes showed his astonishment; he hadn’t expected Zhao Rui to still have the strength to stand.
