Chapter 1678: Chapter 1678 - Killing Ji Lei

Lin Xuanji was only half right—Monk Daming was indeed the one who stole the book.

However, neither he or the Chess Emperor would have ever guessed that it was someone else who returned the book!

The gaze of the Chess Emperor landed on Monk Daming once more as he said in a deep voice, “Actually, it’s not as though this person did not release any divine powers. At the very least, he has been channeling one of the six divine powers of the Buddhist monasteries, Heart Peering!”

“Although Heart Peering is only a greater divine power, if he manages to cultivate it successfully, he will be able to read the other party’s mind and predict the enemy’s movements. It’s extremely mysterious.”

“Legend has it that the difficulty of cultivating the two greater divine powers, Heart Peering and Destiny, is comparable to supreme divine powers. To think that this person would be able to cultivate Heart Peering successfully.”

Lin Xuanji let out a look of realization. “No wonder he could gain the upper hand against Patriarch Ji Lei completely.”

“He could read every single thought of Patriarch Ji Lei and react first. In that case, isn’t victory certain for him?”

“This person’s attainments in Buddhism must be extremely high. Could he be a monster incarnate of the Buddhist monasteries?”

“I’m not sure,”

The Chess Emperor shook his head gently. “We can’t determine the background of this person just because he cultivated Heart Peering.”

“Although he hid it well, I could still sense an extremely evil aura emanating from him! If he hadn’t cultivated some powerful fiend technique, there’s no way he would reveal such an aura.”

“That’s strange,”

Lin Xuanji seemed to be in deep thought

On the battlefield.

Monk Daming had already gained the upper hand and suppressed Patriarch Ji Lei tightly—the latter was almost helpless.

No matter what trump cards or divine powers Patriarch Ji Lei released, Monk Daming would be the first to know and prepare.

Every single move of Patriarch Ji Lei was sensed by Monk Daming!

Patriarch Ji Lei’s expression was already a little pale and he was drenched in sweat. Although he was not injured, he endured immense mental pressure.

Up till this point of his cultivation, he had fought countless battles in his life but he had never felt such pressure against someone of the same cultivation realm!

Right from the beginning, Monk Daming was calm.

Even he could sense that Monk Daming did not use his full strength, let alone the bystanders. It was as though the other party was playing with a child.

No matter how he struggled, he was always beaten back to square one by the other party!

It was a complete humiliation!

Patriarch Ji Lei bore immense resentment in his heart!

“Just who are you?!”

Patriarch Lightning’s expression was terrible. As he defended, he grit his teeth and asked, “I don’t know you at all. Why are you hunting me?!”

Monk Daming did not reply and continued suppressing Patriarch Ji Lei expressionlessly.

His long hair swayed and revealed his wise eyes from time to time. His gaze was calm and emotionless.

“Since you refuse to tell me, don’t blame me!”

Patriarch Ji Lei’s eyes shone with a scarlet glint.

Suddenly!

Monk Daming strode forward and cut in front of Patriarch Ji Lei, slapping his palm on the latter’s chest!

Crack!

Although the palm strike seemed light and weak, it caused Patriarch Ji Lei’s chest to cave in deeply!

Poof!

An arrow of blood burst forth from Patriarch Ji Lei’s back!

His heart was ruptured by Monk Daming’s palm!

“You talk too much,”

Monk Daming shook his head gently. “Those who talk more often die faster.”

Even if one focused their attention in a fight against Monk Daming, they might not even stand a chance of winning, let alone behave the way Patriarch Ji Lei did and attempt to speak.

Unless one cultivated a divine power that could multitask, they would definitely be distracted when they spoke.

It was inevitable for openings to be revealed once one was distracted.

While the openings might be imperceptible, they were magnified infinitely in the eyes of Monk Daming!

“Strange,”

Lin Xuanji frowned. “Patriarch Ji Lei’s heart was shattered. Why isn’t his blood qi failing at all? Instead, it’s getting stronger?”

The Chess Emperor frowned and glared at Patriarch Ji Lei, murmuring, “This aura seems familiar…”

“You. Are. Courting. Death!”

Patriarch Ji Lei’s eyes were bloodshot as he let out a deep growl, emitting a torrential blood qi that resembled a bloodthirsty ferocious beast.

Blood qi surged into the skies and instantly, the world went dark and was incomparably evil. Even the golden light of the Divine Power Ranking was suppressed!

“Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra!”

The Chess Emperor and Lin Xuanji exclaimed at the same time when they saw that!

Many Patriarchs in the crowd recognized the origin of that evil aura and could not help but shudder with wary expressions.

Lin Xuanji had a conflicted expression.

If not for the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra, Senior Brother Heavenly Secrets would not have fallen into the endless abyss and died.

Patriarch Ji Lei glared at Monk Daming not far away with a menacing expression and said coldly, “You forced me! Even if I can’t survive, I’ll kill you first!”

Patriarch Ji Lei knew that he would be targeted by the other Mahayana Patriarchs the moment this matter was exposed.

Although he could kill Monk Daming by releasing that fiend technique, he was most likely doomed as well.

Monk Daming did not reply and merely smiled.

Suddenly, Patriarch Ji Lei froze.

He caught sight of a hint of mockery in Monk Daming’s deep eyes.

It was as though his every move had been predicted by the other party!

“Could it be…”

Suddenly, Patriarch Ji Lei’s eyes widened as he thought of a possibility.

“The reason why this person hunted him was because he cultivated the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra!”

“But, how did this person know?”

Right then, Monk Daming extended his palm and gripped Patriarch Ji Lei gently through the void.

“Mmm?”

When Patriarch Ji Lei released the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra, his blood qi was torrential and he was surrounded by fiend qi!

However, as Monk Daming retracted his palm, all the blood qi seemed to have been grabbed by Monk Daming’s palm and returned to Patriarch Ji Lei’s body!

Patriarch Ji Lei could not control the entire process at all!

Although he was clearly the one who cultivated the bloodline, he could not control it at all!

“I got it!”

A thought flashed through Patriarch Ji Lei’s mind.

He had guessed the truth but he no longer had the chance to say it.

All his bloodline was under Monk Daming’s control and even his Essence Spirit could not release any spirit consciousness fluctuation!

Monk Daming closed his palm slowly with a cold expression.

All the bloodline in Patriarch Ji Lei’s body gathered continuously and eventually compressed into a blood ball with an extremely terrifying power!

Monk Daming released his grip.

Bang!

The blood ball exploded and released a tremendous power, destroying Patriarch Ji Lei’s body instantly.

Against the burst of the bloodline, his Essence Spirit could not even escape. It was drowned and destroyed on the spot!

Patriarch Ji Lei was dead!

The entire world went silent.

Many Patriarchs looked at everything in disbelief.

Patriarch Ji Lei who had dominated the third spot of the Divine Power Ranking for 20,000 years and even used a trump card like the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra was killed by this white-robed man!

Just what was that method released by the white-robed man in the end?!
