Above Lu Qing’s head, the Grey Robed Old Monk radiated a grand golden glow.
A huge Buddha silhouette appeared behind him.
The Grey Robed Old Monk, with a stern expression, stood on the Golden Small Boat and struck downward with his palm.
As he struck with his palm, the Buddha silhouette behind the Grey Robed Old Monk also extended a giant palm, pressing down on Lu Qing from above.
With this palm strike, it was as if chanting resounded between heaven and earth, with golden runes swirling around the Buddha silhouette’s giant palm.
Carrying a crushing might, it pressed down towards Lu Qing.
It turned out that the Grey Robed Old Monk, who previously seemed to be forced down by the arrow formation and caught by Lu Qing using the Earth Vein Magnetic Force, had calculated successfully.
In fact, it was all intentional, meant to make Lu Qing let down his guard so he could deliver a deadly blow at close range.
"Indeed, one should never underestimate any Foundation Establishment Expert."
Lu Qing felt the might of the giant Buddha palm and a sense of admiration arose within him.
This Grey Robed Monk clearly still had tricks up his sleeve, constantly using just the Golden Shuttle Magical Artifact against his enemy.
Even facing his arrow formation siege, he deliberately showed weakness and pretended to be forced down.
It seemed like he fell into his trap, but in reality, he was counter-calculating and plotting also.
He waited to get close to him before deploying his move.
The scope of the giant Buddha palm was not small, covering an area more than ten yards above Lu Qing’s head.
Not only was it fast, but its might was also extremely formidable.
Before the giant palm fully descended, its tremendous suppressive force already bound Lu Qing, making his body sluggish and difficult to dodge.
It seemed like a reversal of roles was about to take place; he would turn the tables and shatter Lu Qing along with his Domain.
"It seems I must get serious now."
Looking at the giant Buddha palm close at hand, Lu Qing tensed up, and glimmers of light appeared on his body.
The next moment, the Buddha palm had already struck the position where Lu Qing was.
A vast cloud of dust rose, and the ground within a radius of over ten yards was concaved by that strike.
From high above, a huge palm imprint suddenly emerged on the plain, visually impactful.
This strike, with its terrifying power, was enough to make anyone in the Innate Realm turn pale and shudder with fear.
However, seeing the terrible destructive power caused by his strike, the Grey Robed Old Monk showed no hint of pleasure; instead, his expression changed.
Because he felt that the Earth Vein Magnetic Force binding him had not completely disappeared.
It still wrapped around him, making it difficult for him to move.
He stared intently below, and suddenly, his pupils disappeared.
Below, the dust exploded in all directions.
A figure glowing with white light burst out of the dust and flew rapidly towards the Grey Robed Old Monk.
The Grey Robed Monk was greatly alarmed and without thinking, driven by his Heart and Spirit, he struck with his palm.
At the same time, the Buddha silhouette behind him stirred up endless gusts of wind and also struck down at Lu Qing in the air!
Facing the oncoming golden glow and the giant Buddha palm, Lu Qing’s gaze remained calm, showing not a trace of panic.
Even his War Saber and bow and arrows, he had unknowingly stashed into the Qiankun Qi Bag.
A breeze appeared around him, further accelerating his speed.
With his right hand formed into a fist, he didn’t dodge but met the Buddha palm head-on with a punch!
As Lu Qing’s punch struck out, a tiger’s roar echoed through the high skies, and it seemed as if the Grey Robed Old Monk saw an ancient giant tiger emerging from Lu Qing.
The Grey Robed Monk was even more startled; he knew it was Lu Qing’s overpowering Fist Intent that interfered with his Heart and Spirit, creating that illusion.
With a thunderous crash!
The fist and palm collided in mid-air, whipping up a whirlwind, and once again, the sky above was blasted into layers of white haze, stirring up fierce winds.
If this were on the ground, it would likely cause dust to fly and trees to topple.
Seeing the drastic size difference, Lu Qing in front of the ten-yard-wide Buddha palm appeared like an insect, seemingly engaging in a futile effort.
But the reality was starkly different from what the eyes could see; under Lu Qing’s punch, the Buddha palm, seemingly made of glaze, began to crack at the center of the fist, spreading rapidly across the entire hand and even the arm.
Eventually, it completely shattered.
"How is this possible?!"
Seeing the Buddha palm shatter, the Grey Robed Old Monk’s eyes showed an incredulous look.
He couldn’t believe that the Buddha Dharma he deployed using the treasure within his body could be so easily defeated.
With one punch shattering the Buddha’s arm, Lu Qing did not pause.
A breeze appeared around him, and after descending a few yards to neutralize the rebounding force, he surged upward again, directly challenging the Grey Robed Old Monk.
There was only one chance. The other party had the Golden Small Boat, and as long as he stayed in the high altitude, he could attack or retreat, nearly invincible.
Having finally gotten close to his opponent, he couldn’t let go of this great opportunity.
He had seen the slowly recovering arm of the Buddha phantom he had shattered, so he knew he had to make it quick.
Harnessing the power of the Spirit Talisman, Lu Qing also possessed brief flight capability; he closed in on the Grey Robed Old Monk quickly and struck out with another punch.
Having already experienced the might of Lu Qing’s fist, the Grey Robed Monk dared not take it head-on.
But just like previously, he counter-calculated by purposely entering Lu Qing’s Domain to lower his guard and launch a killing move,
but now he was also trapped within Lu Qing’s Domain, bound by the Earth Vein Magnetic Force, his speed greatly reduced.
Wanting to retreat, but it was already too late.
Having no other choice, the Old Monk had to pinch a spell, driving another arm of the Buddha Dharma to strike at Lu Qing.
