Chapter 2985: Slaying With One Move
n
nThe looks in people’s eyes started to change after hearing this genius, especially those who previously disliked him.
n
n“Haha, that does make sense.” One person hiding in the crowd fanned the fire: “So much flowery rhetoric only to hide the fact that he’s useless and will be exposed after a try.”
n
nSome didn’t like this type of insult, definitely unbecoming of a gentleman. Nevertheless, they still wondered if it was the truth. After all, there was some hint of logic there.
n
n“If you have the ability to do so, open the boulder so we all can take a look.” A genius scowled out of jealousy.
n
nMany thought that he didn’t deserve to earn the goddess’ grace. Now that an opportunity has arisen, they jumped on it in order to embarrass him in front of her.
n
n“Not interested.” Li Qiye ignored the taunts.
n
n“Just do it, it’s not a big deal. A man should be heroic and at least put a little effort into making the world a better place.” Shen Guzhan coldly uttered.
n
n“Brother Guzhan, you’re making it difficult for him. He’s using the empty-fort strategy so don’t think he’s actually capable of opening this boulder.” Someone next to him joined in. 1
n
n“Stop embarrassing him now. It’s not very gentlemanly of you.” Another sneered.
n
nLi Qiye still ignored them and stared at Tai Yinxi. The old man then bowed his head towards him and said: “Young Noble, please help.”
n
n“Sir Yinxi, there are plenty of others in the world if he doesn’t want to help. He can’t do it anyway.” An older character told Yinxi.
n
nBoth the old and young here didn’t like Li Qiye.
n
n“Well, the heroes of the world are gathered here and none can see through a single boulder. They’re pretty good at gossiping and throwing meaningless insults though. Just an idiotic, useless bunch.”
n
n“You!” Many became irate at this comment. They were famous characters not used to such blatant disdain.
n
nSupreme, Holyfrost, and a few others took it with a smile. There was nothing else they could do.
n
n“You speak as if you know how to open it.” A genius said with contempt.
n
n“It’s only a boulder, figuring it out is as easy as eating a meal. Only an idiot like you would fail and need to resort to running your mouth at me.” Li Qiye smiled.
n
n“So haughty.” Many didn’t buy this so they glared angrily at him.
n
n“Who do you think you are to speak in this manner?” A big shot said.
n
n“Even Luminous Master couldn’t open it, what makes you think you can?” Shen Guzhan scowled.
n
n“Because I’m stronger than you all, idiots.” Li Qiye smiled.
n
nThe crowd had enough of being called “idiots”. Some would have challenged Li Qiye if the goddess wasn’t there.
n
n“Young Noble, please start?” Tai Yinxi focused on the important thing.
n
n“Do it, show us that you’re more than just words.” Many clamored, eager to see him in action.
n
n“There is no free lunch in this world. If I open it, the content inside is mine. Yes?” He simply told Tai Yinxi and ignored the rest.
n
n“Well…” Tai Yinxi found this hard to accept.
n
n“Commander, absolutely not.” Master Dajue stood up and spoke: “If my progenitor’s prophecy is true, we definitely can’t give it to him. The item might pertain to the fate of Immortal Lineage itself, handing it to this monster will have unimaginable consequences.”
n
n“Fool.” Li Qiye glanced at the monk and said: “In one ear and out the other. Fine, I will give you a chance to fight. One move, that’s all I need to kill you.”
n
n“Amitabha, Benefactor, I’m not aiming at you alone, I only care for everything else beneath the firmament.” The monk wasn’t afraid.
n
n
n“Make your move.” Li Qiye had enough and got out of his seat.
n
nThe crowd watched with bated breath. They didn’t like Li Qiye but also recognized his power.
n
n“Amitabha, then I will overestimate myself and try.” Master Dajue also stood up and chanted.
n
nA golden bell covered with runes surrounded him entirely. It seemed to be blessed by the sacred Buddhas and holy monks.
n
nA Buddhist radiance engulfed the area with its dao right away.
n
n“Golden Bell Cage, an ultimate art of Heaven Calculating Kingdom.” A big shot said.
n
n“It looks like Master Dajue has perfect mastery with it, it won’t be easy to break.” One ancestor added.
n
n“Yes, I doubt he can do it with one move.” A genius sneered.
n
n“Not even a twelve-palace emperor can do it in one move.” An Eternal felt the same way.
n
n“Excuse me then, Benefactor.” Master Dajue knew that he had no chance but still didn’t relent. He formed a mudra with both hands.
n
n“Raaa!” He roared like a furious lion.
n
nThe roar broke the stars above the pavilions. Next, his massive Buddhist seal created from the mudra exploded and turned into a golden dragon soaring straight at Li Qiye.
n
n“Lion’s Roar and Draconic Buddha Seal!” A startled spectator shouted.
n
nEverything became suppressed. Even someone as strong as Supreme True Emperor became serious.
n
nMaster Dajue used the three top techniques of his kingdom - Golden Bell Cage, Lion’s Roar, and Draconic Buddha Seal.
n
n“Boom!” Another majestic force aimed straight for Li Qiye. The monk looked like a furious warrior, ready to subdue evil.
n
nLi Qiye didn’t bat an eye. His body flashed once as he raised his hand towards the air before swinging downward, treating it as an ax.
n
n“Boom!” The dragon got split into two halves; the seal broken.
n
nThe chopping move finally struck the golden bell and the latter instantly crumbled.
n
n“Poof!” It then rendered the monk into a bloody mist scattering everywhere.
n
n“Buzz.” A ray shot out from the impact, wanting to escape. This was his true fate.
n
nUnfortunately, Li Qiye moved with lightning speed and caught it in his hand.
n
n“Such insignificant abilities, it’s fine for you to dress up as a god and play the devil with other people, but to display your slight skill before me? Simply courting death.” Li Qiye glanced at it before closing his palm.
n
n“Ah!” The true fate got crushed into nothingness. The teacher of the state vanished into thin air just like that.
n
nEveryone became shocked. So many gasped and turned pale.
n
nMaster Dajue was immensely powerful. Many big shots assumed the role of a junior before him. Now, Li Qiye took him down using a single move!
