241 White Tiger Dharma (1/2)
Hearing the Summer Valley chief's words, the crowd thought that Lian Kun had suggested that the fight end once an opponent was lightly attacked not only to protect Zhou Donghuang from death but also to remind Zhou Donghuang that, by saving him from an ugly situation now, Zhou Donghuang must no longer sell fake goods to the Summer Valley.
”Since you have made this clear, Valley Chief, in this sparring battle with your disciple, I shall stop once I have lightly defeated him.” Zhou Donghuang's lips curled into a playful smile.
Zhou Donghuang understood the hidden meaning behind Lian Kun's warning. Lian Can also understood.
”Master has so little trust in me?” Lian Can's expression was unbelievably ugly.
The crowd of Summer Valley disciples and elders that had gathered now turned condescending and looked on with disdain after hearing what Zhou Donghuang had said. They thought that he was too arrogant.
”Make your move.” Zhou Donghuang leaped into the skies and stood face to face with Lian Can. His tone was calm and measured as he said, ”I still have many things to do. The faster I defeat you, the quicker I can get back.”
”Ridiculous!” Lian Can's eyes gleamed coldly, and his expression was dark. ”Zhou Donghuang, you only reached the Dharma stage less than a month ago, do you think you can defeat me? Ridiculous! Today, let me teach you some humility. There is always someone stronger than you!”
With that, Lian Can's inner Yuan poured out in waves. Instantly, his Dharma, which was that of an early Dharma adept, appeared floating above his head. It was the same giant palm print Dharma that had pinned Da Zhuang to the ground that time in the market. Its size was domineering.
”It's been less than a month, where would you find the time to train your Dharma? Today, let me allow you to understand the difference between my Dharma and yours!”
Lian Can looked at Zhou Donghuang and laughed coldly, ”Now, why don't you show your Dharma.”
”As you wish.” Zhou Donghuang casually looked at Lian Can. The inner Yuan within his body trembled as one of the four animal Dharmas within him suddenly extended a strong wave of inner Yuan that flowed out through Zhou Donghuang's body. Since attaining the Dharma stage, the four Golden Essences within Zhou Donghuang had merged together with the Dharmas. Or more accurately, the Golden Essence had become a part of the Dharma, making the Dharma crystallize and solidify. If Zhou Donghuang's inner Yuan used to come from the Primal Core, now his inner Yuan was produced by the Dharma.
”Roar!” Although the white tiger Dharma was still like a small cat internally, it produced a ten-meter tall Dharma that looked majestic and fearsome when it roared with the dominance worthy of the animal king.
”I'll defeat you within ten strokes!” Seeing Zhou Donghuang's Dharma appear, Lian Can, who was eager to begin, called out as he transformed into a lightning bolt that rushed at Zhou Donghuang. Streaking through the air with him was the giant palm print Dharma, which was ten meters tall.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the giant palm print Dharma streaked through the air, because it was so fast, the air around it produced a gushing sound accompanied by a sharp whistling. It was like ghouls wailing, a shriek so shrill it could shatter eardrums.
Lian Can's eyes locked on Zhou Donghuang coldly. He conservatively estimated ten strokes. He felt that he would certainly be able to defeat Zhou Donghuang with less than five.
As the considerable crowd looked on, Zhou Donghuang stood motionless, and his massive white tiger Dharma laid down. It closed its eyes and yawned lazily as if it could fall asleep at any time.
”Is Zhou Donghuang too scared to move?”
”This must be his first battle as a Dharma adept. It's normal to be frightened stiff.”
Seeing Lian Can and his palm Dharma approach, Zhou Donghuang did not make any movement at all. The crowd chattered excitedly.
This time, He Mengxi, who was watching the fight from the sidelines, could not help but call out cautiously, ”Little Brother!”
”Zhou Donghuang, looks like I overestimated you! With just one stroke, I'll easily defeat you!” As Lian Can neared Zhou Donghuang, he still had not made a move. Seeing this, Lian Can was filled with excitement, and his eyes flashed with anticipation. He quickly lifted his hand, and the giant palm print Dharma seemed to sense his movement as it slapped down on Zhou Donghuang and his white tiger Dharma, following the motion of Lian Can's hand.
”Little Brother!” He Mengxi cried out as her expression changed once again.
Boom! Boom!!
The crowd watched as Lian Can's palm Dharma fell upon Zhou Donghuang and his tiger Dharma like a little hill, in all its sheer might.
