Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 461: Chapter 460: As the Dao rises one foot, the devil rises ten feet

”Insightful indeed!”

Chen Benhao let out a loud laugh, suddenly soared into the sky, and rushed directly above Su Yang. Following that, endless black qi manifested around him, forming a ferocious skeleton head in the air that howled as it charged towards Su Yang below.

The skeleton head roared towards him, as if taunting. The Buddhist light also surged to the skies, colliding with the skeleton head, as if vanquishing demons and protecting the way.

However, below, Su Yang stepped directly out of the golden light, from the intangible void, back to reality. The Great Prajna Vajra Zen had been broken; the golden light and the skeleton head dueled in the sky, and Su Yang below had lost the protection of the golden radiance.

Su Yang furrowed his brows and glanced at the girl again.

This girl had a unique perspective, instantly seeing through the flaw in his Great Prajna Vajra Zen.

In fact, the Great Prajna Vajra Zen had no flaws. But Su Yang was not born into Buddhism and he was not an Arhat Vajra either. His Great Prajna Vajra Zen was thus using the power of the Buddhist Sect, not cultivated by himself.

Since Buddhism and Demonic Sect were inherently incompatible, the power of the Buddhist Sect and that of the Demonic Sect simply could not coexist. And the Arhat Vajra were born to subdue demons.

Chen Benhao, employing the methods of the Demonic Sect, naturally drew away the power of the Great Prajna Vajra Zen. The Buddhist power was used to subdue demons, and Su Yang, thus deprived of the Buddhist light’s protection, saw the Great Prajna Vajra Zen broken directly.

If Su Yang were a practitioner of Buddhism and had already attained the Arhat Vajra, then he could freely control the power of the Great Prajna Vajra Zen, uninfluenced by external forces.

However, just because this power was borrowed, Su Yang didn’t need to reach the state of mind required by the Great Prajna Vajra Zen. After the power was drawn away, Su Yang leapt up, charging directly at Chen Benhao in the sky.

”Well done!” Chen Benhao shouted loudly, charging head-on at Su Yang.

The two confronted each other directly, using nothing more than hand-to-hand combat without any superfluous tricks, though their battlefield in the sky made it all seem even more mystifying.

Although they were using only ordinary hand-to-hand techniques, the immense strength that accompanied each of their moves made their combat sound tremendously imposing.

With each punch and kick, a roaring wind followed. Eventually, the two were like two tornadoes, intertwined. Inside the tornadoes, they continued to throw punches and kicks, attacking fiercely.

The battle continued for over half an hour, and the girl watching from below grew impatient. Suddenly, a collision of fists resulted in a thunderous roar, the tornado was shattered, and both of them were sent flying backward.

”Exhilarating!” Chen Benhao laughed loudly, looking up.

”Again!” Su Yang swiftly lunged forward.

Chen Benhao, undaunted, charged straight at him, clashing with Su Yang once more.

They fought from the sky to the ground, still using the simplistic punching and kicking techniques, yet their might was awe-inspiring and immensely powerful.

Su Yang was also fighting with great gusto, making this battle, since his cultivation of the Destiny’s Tome, the most gratifying one yet.

Previously, the strongest opponents he had faced, other than Holy Sovereign Sword Saint Ye and the Smiling Buddha like Terrestrial Immortals, were none other than Chen Benhao.

Chen Benhao’s strength greatly surpassed that of the Ghost Blade Mo Qianli, and he was evenly matched with Su Yang.

It could be said that if it weren’t for Su Yang having consumed the Immortal Herbs that Ye Wantong had carried with her for over a decade, he would have been far from Chen Benhao’s match.

But now, the two were evenly matched and hard to separate.

Both fighters, in silent agreement, refrained from using earth-shattering techniques, choosing instead to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the simplest of punches and kicks.

Using those formidable techniques might have made the battle more spectacular to watch, but if they had, the fight might have been decided much earlier.

Neither had the intention of ending the match too quickly. For both fighters, this battle was the most exhilarating they had fought. Furthermore, with no real intent to injure the other and seemingly more like a friendly spar between comrades, they both tacitly agreed only to use their fists and feet.

The intense ground battle continued for almost another hour, when the girl watching at the side grew impatient and couldn’t help but say, ”Chen Shao, stand down. It’s my turn!”

”No, no, no!” Chen Benhao immediately let out a high-pitched scream; during an exchange with Su Yang, his punch went awry and Su Yang landed a blow on his left shoulder.

”Ouch!” Chen Benhao exaggeratedly screamed, and was sent flying backward.

Su Yang furrowed his brows; when he sensed something was amiss, he pulled back most of his strength. The punch on Chen Benhao’s left shoulder was not powerful enough to send him flying back. With Chen Benhao’s strength, enduring such a punch should have been easy.

And what was Chen Benhao doing? It was clear he was holding back in that last exchange, intentionally taking a hit!

”Aiyowei, that hurts, it really hurts!” Chen Benhao grimaced in pain on the ground: ”I can’t, I can’t go on. I can’t fight anymore. Sister, help me up, I need to rest!”

The girl frowned. Although she had been watching from the side, she wasn’t familiar with the specifics of their strength and didn’t know how much force Su Yang had held back or how injured Chen Benhao really was!

”You’re not dying, are you?” the girl said sternly. ”If you’re not dying, wait a moment because I will kill him and avenge you!”

”Don’t do that!” Chen Benhao immediately jumped up. ”How could you? I just fought him, and now you want to fight him too? Isn’t this a tag-team attack? I’m ranked among the top three in the younger generation of the Capital City, and now with your help, we would be gang up on him. If you do this, what about my dignity?”

”Then, what do you want to do!” the girl glared and said. ”If you can’t beat him yourself and I don’t avenge you, won’t you lose face completely?”

”If I’m not his match, that’s that. But I’m the kind of person who gets back up where I fall,” Chen Benhao declared. ”I’ll go back and train for a few days, then come back personally to defeat him and seek revenge.”

The girl frowned at Chen Benhao but finally simply shook her head and turned back to the carriage.

Only then did Chen Benhao turn to Su Yang, cupping his fists and saying, ”Brother Su truly has exceptional ability; today was an eye-opener for me. However, the mountains remain unchanging, the rivers flow ever on; if there is another opportunity, I will definitely seek Brother Su’s guidance once more.”

Su Yang looked perplexed. ”What are you doing?”

”Since I couldn’t best you this time, everything will proceed as you said,” Chen Benhao replied. ”I’ll stay out of this marriage engagement. If there’s to be a betrothal, let my cousin come in person!”

A gleam of appreciation flashed through Su Yang’s eyes; this Chen Benhao was genuinely interesting.

”Alright, I’ll go to the Ye Family tomorrow and clarify things. If there’s to be an engagement, let Su Tianyu come himself!” Chen Benhao waved his hand. ”I’ll be taking my leave now. You may not rest late into the night, but I need my rest!”
