Late at night!
Dali, Tianlong Temple!
A cloaked figure in black, dressed in night-traveler's garb, flashed past.
If it wasn't Jiang Chen, who else could it be?
Before coming to Dali, Jiang Chen had been eyeing the Six Meridian Sword Art!
The Six Meridian Sword Art was the highest martial art of the Dali Duan Clan, created by Duan Si Ping, the founding emperor of Dali. Internal energy shoots out from the fingertips, achieving the realm of "finger-sword". Wherever the finger power reaches, it's like an invisible sword, sweeping or even just pointing, capable of harming the enemy. It's called the "Gatling Gun" of martial arts. As long as one's true qi can keep up, they can fire infinitely!
And Jiang Chen, who had cultivated the Five Elements Yin-Yang Art, had a boundless source of true qi, naturally, this wasn't a problem!
Jiang Chen quietly infiltrated the Muni Hall!
Although the Muni Hall was heavily guarded, Jiang Chen's light skills were unparalleled, and with his Divine-Level Concealment Art, even a Heaven-Human Realm martial artist would find it hard to detect Jiang Chen's presence.
Arriving at the Muni Hall, Jiang Chen saw six paintings hanging on the walls.
They were the cultivation methods of the Dali Six Meridian Sword Art!
The reason they openly displayed the Six Meridian Sword Art on the walls of the Muni Hall, not worried about others stealing it, was not only because of the Muni Hall's heavy security, but also because ordinary people simply couldn't learn the Six Meridian Sword Art!
There were many high-ranking monks in the Tianlong Temple, but despite studying the Six Meridian Sword Art for years, each of them had only mastered one sword!
Even the highest ranking, Elder Ku Rong, could barely be said to have mastered two swords!
Moreover, cultivating the Six Meridian Sword Art requires the One Yang Finger as a foundation!
Through the Martial Dao Emperor's Eye, Jiang Chen instantly grasped the cultivation method of the Six Meridian Sword Art.
But because he hadn't learned the One Yang Finger, Jiang Chen couldn't use the Six Meridian Sword Art yet!
"Ah, looks like I need to get my hands on the One Yang Finger!" Jiang Chen sighed lightly, saying.
"Who's there?"
At this moment, an old monk entered from the doorway. Seeing Jiang Chen, dressed in night-traveler's garb, he shouted.
"No good, I've been discovered!"
He had been too focused on deciphering the Six Meridian Sword Art that he had startled the passing monk!
"Whizz!"
Seeing Jiang Chen trying to leave, the old monk, without thinking, abruptly pointed at him. A golden finger power instantly shot out.
The One Yang Finger!
Jiang Chen's figure flickered, narrowly dodging the old monk's finger power, but his heart was secretly overjoyed!
He was just craving the One Yang Finger, and here it came, just in time!
"The Dali One Yang Finger, so pathetic?" Jiang Chen sneered.
"Whizz Whizz Whizz!"
Hearing Jiang Chen's mockery, the old monk continuously unleashed the One Yang Finger. The fierce finger power swirled around Jiang Chen, yet it failed to injure him in the slightest.
Provoking the old monk to use the One Yang Finger, Jiang Chen, through the Martial Dao Emperor's Eye, quickly deduced the One Yang Finger's cultivation method!
"Whizz!"
The old monk once again pointed out a One Yang Finger!
This time, Jiang Chen didn't dodge or evade, and he also pointed out a golden finger power!
"Bang!"
The two golden finger forces collided, simultaneously annihilating each other!
"The One Yang Finger? How do you know the One Yang Finger?" Seeing this, the old monk exclaimed.
And hearing the sound of their fight, several old monks came running over, the leader of whom was the Tianlong Temple's Abbot, Ben Yin.
"Amitabha!"
Abbot Ben Yin said, "Brother Ben Can, what's going on?"
"Master Abbot, this person broke into the Muni Hall at night to steal the Six Meridian Sword Art, and he also knows the One Yang Finger!" Monk Ben Can said.
Ben Yin Abbot glanced at Jiang Chen and said, "Amitabha, why did you break into the Tianlong Temple at night and steal the One Yang Finger and the Six Meridian Sword Art?"
"Masters, I merely came here out of admiration. Since it's not allowed, I'll leave now!" Jiang Chen said.
"Wait!"
Ben Yin Abbot said, "Why do you know the One Yang Finger? Did you steal it too?"
"What if I say I didn't?" Jiang Chen smiled faintly, saying.
Jiang Chen learned this One Yang Finger right in front of Ben Can. If they really wanted to be picky, it couldn't really be considered stealing.
"You refuse to show your true face, and your intentions are sinister. If you can cripple yourself and stay in the temple to eat vegetarian food and recite Buddhist scriptures, tonight's matter will be forgotten. Otherwise, don't blame this old monk for being ruthless!" Ben Yin Abbot said.
"Master, monks should embrace compassion!"
Jiang Chen said with a smile, "You keep talking about crippling people and taking lives, you're a bad monk!"
"You arrogant brat! Let this old monk have a go at you!"
Ben Xiang, standing beside, heard Jiang Chen mocking the Abbot, his hot-tempered nature flaring up, he shot a palm towards Jiang Chen.
"You're not good enough!"
Jiang Chen smiled faintly, and shot back a palm!
"Bang!"
The two palms collided, the violent palm wind, like a storm, swept outward.
"Clang Clang Clang!"
Ben Xiang's figure retreated more than ten steps before stopping, a trace of blood oozing from his mouth, while Jiang Chen remained unmoved. The difference between the two was clear!
"I don't want to kill tonight, don't force me, you old monks!" Jiang Chen coldly said.
"Humph!"
Ben Xiang snorted coldly, abruptly pointed at Jiang Chen, and a fierce and unmatched sword energy shot out.
"The Six Meridian Sword Art, huh?"
Jiang Chen sneered, and shot back a sword energy!
"Bang!"
Jiang Chen's Six Meridian Sword Art directly shattered Ben Xiang's Six Meridian Sword Art, and then, undiminished, it shot towards Ben Xiang.
"Be careful!"
Ben Yin Abbot pushed away Ben Xiang, then shot out a Six Meridian Sword Art, blocking Jiang Chen's attack.
"You've learned the Six Meridian Sword Art?" Ben Yin Abbot was astonished!
The Six Meridian Sword Art manuscript had been in the Tianlong Temple for so many years, not a single young monk could learn it!
And they, these monks, had been cultivating for decades, each only mastering one of the six. Yet, this young man in night-traveler's garb had learned the Six Meridian Sword Art, how could he not be astonished?
