Chapter 44
The Zen Master of Withering and Flourishing (4/5)

“Is the Six Meridian Sword Art difficult to learn?” Jiang Chen smiled faintly and said.

“施主, you stole the Six Meridian Sword Art, this old monk cannot let you leave!” Abbot Ben Yin said.

Abbot Ben Yin had made up his mind, he would definitely keep Jiang Chen tonight!

“I’ll see how you keep me!” Jiang Chen was also a little angry, he said.

Among the monks present, Abbot Ben Yin's cultivation was the highest, reaching the late stage of Grandmaster Realm, while the other monks were all at the middle stage of Grandmaster Realm. For Jiang Chen, they were simply not worth fearing!

“All disciples, listen to my orders, Six Meridian Sword Formation, form the array!” Abbot Ben Yin said.

“Yes!”

Ben Xiang, Ben Can, Ben Guan, Ben Nan, and Ben E all responded.

The six old monks surrounded Jiang Chen!

“A prestigious temple like Tianlong Temple, yet none can cultivate the Six Meridian Sword Art. You only managed to come up with a half-baked Six Meridian Sword Formation!” Jiang Chen sarcastically said.

Hearing Jiang Chen’s sarcasm, Ben Yin and the other monks were all ashamed!

“Attack!”

Abbot Ben Yin took the lead and pointed at Jiang Chen with force, releasing a fierce sword energy!

Ben Xiang, Ben Can and the others all attacked upon hearing the command!

Six incredibly sharp sword energies formed an impenetrable sword net, shooting towards Jiang Chen’s vital points.

Facing the combined attack of six Grandmaster Realm monks, Jiang Chen didn’t dare to be careless. He unleashed the Six Meridian Sword Art, six sword energies erupted simultaneously, shattering the sword net.

“This…”

Seeing this, Ben Yin and the other monks showed deep shock on their faces!

They couldn’t believe that Jiang Chen was actually able to simultaneously release six sword energies!

You must know that although the Six Meridian Sword Art is powerful, its cultivation difficulty is extremely high. In all these years, no one has ever been seen to cultivate all six meridians. Even their uncle, Elder Ku Rong, after cultivating for so many years, has only cultivated two meridians.

Ben Yin and the others looked at each other!

This person in front of them has actually learned the Six Meridian Sword Art, they can’t let him go!

“Whizz whizz whizz!”

The attacks of Ben Yin and the others became increasingly fierce, while Jiang Chen also unleashed the Six Meridian Sword Art to defend himself!

“Bang bang bang!”

For a time, the Muni Hall was filled with crisscrossing sword energies. The violent wind ripples swept like a storm, even the Six Meridian Sword Art scrolls hanging on the walls were torn to shreds!

“You dare destroy my Six Meridian Sword Art scrolls?” Abbot Ben Yin’s eyes were bloodshot with anger.

Jiang Chen shrugged and said: “You can’t blame me for this, you all have a part in it!”

“All disciples, you must capture this person tonight!” Abbot Ben Yin roared.

“Yes, Abbot Brother!”

Ben Xiang and the others all responded in unison.

“Enough! If you force me further, I will truly kill!” Jiang Chen said coldly.

He intruded into the Tianlong Temple tonight to steal the One Yang Finger and the Six Meridian Sword Art, Jiang Chen was not in the right, so he also showed mercy during the fight!

Unexpectedly, Ben Yin and the other monks pressed him relentlessly, making Jiang Chen also have a murderous intent.

“Attack!”

Ben Yin and the other monks ignored Jiang Chen's warning and attacked again!

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes. His Five Elements Yin-Yang Art rapidly circulated, a sharp sword intent soared into the sky, condensing a giant Qi sword behind him!

After comprehending the sword intent left behind by Dugu Qiubai, this was the first time Jiang Chen had displayed it!

“Sever!”

Jiang Chen raised his hand and lightly waved it towards Ben Yin and the other monks. The giant Qi sword instantly slashed down!

“Bang bang bang bang bang bang!”

The Six Meridian Sword Energies of Ben Yin and the other monks instantly exploded!

“This…”

Ben Yin and the other monks’ pupils constricted. They sensed an extremely terrifying aura of death from the giant Qi sword!

“Amitabha, please spare me!”

Seeing that Ben Yin and the other monks were about to be slain by the giant Qi sword, at this time, a Buddha’s chant rang out.

At the same time, a golden Buddha’s palm suddenly appeared from the wall, blocking the giant Qi sword.

“Boom!”

The collision of Qi caused a violent surge of energy, sending Ben Yin, Ben Xiang and the others flying, and the entire Muni Hall was completely collapsed!

At this time, an old monk with a face like a withered tree and white eyebrows and beard slowly appeared in front of everyone.

“Uncle Master!”

Seeing the old monk, Ben Yin and the other monks showed a look of surprise.

While Jiang Chen also instantly understood that this old monk should be the top expert of the Tianlong Temple, Grandmaster Ku Rong!

“Amitabha!”

Grandmaster Ku Rong clasped his palms together, saying: “Thank you, Master, for showing mercy!”

“Uncle Master…”

Abbot Ben Yin was about to speak, but he was stopped by Grandmaster Ku Rong: “Ben Yin, if it wasn’t for this Master’s mercy, you would have been dead by now!”

Jiang Chen looked at Grandmaster Ku Rong, but he was a little clueless, he didn’t know what kind of medicine this Ku Rong Grandmaster was selling in his gourd.

However, he didn’t dare to underestimate this Ku Rong Grandmaster!

In the original work, this Grandmaster Ku Rong was definitely a top expert not inferior to Kumozhi. His cultivation had at least reached the middle stage of Grandmaster Realm!

Although Jiang Chen’s real combat strength could rival a Grandmaster Realm early stage martial artist, he also had the strength to fight against a Grandmaster Realm middle stage martial artist, but facing Ku Rong Grandmaster, who possessed the Withered Wood Zen Art, One Yang Finger and Six Meridian Sword Art, he also didn’t have absolute confidence!

“Master, since you are able to learn the Six Meridian Sword Art, you are also a person of destiny. If you can agree not to spread the Six Meridian Sword Art, you can leave now!” Grandmaster Ku Rong said.

“Of course!”

Hearing Grandmaster Ku Rong’s words, Jiang Chen was quite surprised, but he still agreed. Even if Ku Rong Grandmaster didn’t say it, he wouldn’t spread the Six Meridian Sword Art.

It’s better to enjoy it alone than for everyone to enjoy it, right?

“Amitabha!”

Watching Jiang Chen leave, Grandmaster Ku Rong softly chanted a Buddha’s name.

“Uncle Master, why did you let him leave?” Abbot Ben Yin asked.

“This person’s cultivation is unfathomable, even this old monk cannot guarantee a victory!”

“Even Uncle Master doesn’t have the guarantee of victory over him?” Abbot Ben Yin was surprised.

“This man is no ordinary person! If he were a son of my Duan clan, how wonderful it would be!” Grandmaster Ku Rong sighed.
