Chapter 721: Hostage Elder Xuan Ming
Strike when least expected, attack where unprepared!
Use thunderous methods to severely injure Xuan Ming Monk!
Gao Fei was able to successfully launch a surprise attack, a great part of which was due to luck, and the other reason was Xuan Ming Monk's underestimation of his enemy.
"Bang!"
Gao Fei rushed over, captured the injured Xuan Ming Monk, and with swift finger movements, sealed his Dantian and meridians. Thus, Xuan Ming Monk lost his ability to resist. After doing all this, Gao Fei took a long breath, "Hoo! Finally, no mishaps!" It must be said, his actions just now were very risky.
"Shameless!" Xuan Ming Monk's face turned livid as he cursed with all his might, "Despicable! Shameless! Nasty! Lacking in morals! You are not a man!!!!"
"Curse away, curse as much as you want, I won't get angry." Gao Fei laughed, "When you're tired of cursing, we can talk." He casually threw Xuan Ming Monk to the side, then went over to tend to Shangguan Yunyue's wounds, "Here, take these elixirs."
Shangguan Yunyue obeyed and swallowed the elixirs, then closed her eyes to heal with the help of the elixirs' medicinal power.
"Damn it! Damn it!!! If you have the guts, release me and let's have a fair fight! If you can defeat me, I will accept my defeat!"
Xuan Ming Monk lay on the ground, shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Sneak attacks are the acts of cowards!"
"You have no shame! You are utterly shameless!!!!"
"How can there be someone like you in this world? I'm so angry! You're really making me furious!!!!"
No matter how Xuan Ming Monk cursed, Gao Fei paid him no heed.
Half an hour later, Shangguan Yunyue opened her eyes.
"How do you feel?" Gao Fei asked with concern, "Any better?"
Shangguan Yunyue nodded, "Much better, the elixirs you gave me are very effective, I've regained some strength." Her injuries were too severe to be healed with a few elixirs. She needed to rest and recover, and it would take some time before she was back to her former state.
"Let's go, I'll take you away now," said Gao Fei, "After we leave this place, I'll find you a bunch of spiritual medicine to replenish your body."
"It won't work," Shangguan Yunyue shook her head, "I can't leave this place."
"Why not?"
"This stone tower is a treasure, it has locked onto me. If I attempt to leave, the stone tower will attack me."
"Really? That's so strange," Gao Fei seemed skeptical.
"You see." Shangguan Yunyue stood up tremblingly, then took a step towards the stairs...
"Buzz buzz buzz!!!"
Suddenly, the top of the stone tower shone brightly, and a golden Buddha figure appeared out of nowhere. The Buddha figure opened its mouth and uttered six words... Om, Ma, Ni, Pad, Me, Hum... These six words transformed into mysterious energies and pressed down towards Shangguan Yunyue.
"Ugh!"
Shangguan Yunyue grunted and collapsed to the ground, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of her mouth.
"No good!" Gao Fei rushed forward, shielding Shangguan Yunyue with his body, "Pfft!" The power of the Six True Words bore down on Gao Fei, who clenched his teeth and stiffly endured, his body uncontrollably trembling, his face twisting with pain...
Fortunately, the Buddha figure did not remain for long, disappearing in the blink of an eye, and the energy generated by the Six True Words dissipated with it.
"Thump!"
Gao Fei collapsed onto the ground, drenched in sweat, "Such terrifying energy! My body almost fell apart!"
"Now you see how serious it is," Shangguan Yunyue said with a bitter smile, "Any time I make a move, the stone tower will attack me. As long as the tower stands, I can't leave."
"What are we going to do now?" Gao Fei was getting anxious, as he was not strong enough to break the stone tower.
"You go first. Come back and save me when your strength has increased," she said.
"No, I can't leave you here alone!"
"You can't save me..."
"I'll save you even if I can't! Don't worry, I've already thought of a way."
"Huh? Have you thought of a method?" Shangguan Yunyue asked with puzzlement.
"It's him." Gao Fei extended his hand, pointing at Monk Xuan Ming: "Tell me, if I use him to exchange for you, do you think Myriad Buddhas Sect would agree?"
Shangguan Yunyue was taken aback: "That... it probably won't work..."
"Don't be so pessimistic." Gao Fei smiled: "The other party is the Chief Great Elder of the Elder Council, second only to the Abbot. Now that he's fallen into my hands, Myriad Buddhas Sect will definitely hold back, fearing they might harm their own interests, and they won't dare to hurt you again." Gao Fei had made up his mind to use Monk Xuan Ming as a hostage to secure Shangguan Yunyue's safety.
...
At the monastery entrance.
A group of monks and a band of soldiers were facing off.
Abbot Xuan Si furrowed his brows: "So much time has passed, why hasn't Brother Xuan Ming returned yet?"
"I'll go and hurry them along," said Xuan Wu, the leader of Damo Court.
"Mhm, go and see what's happening," Abbot Xuan Si nodded: "For some reason, I suddenly feel uneasy, as if something is about to happen."
"I'll be back shortly," Xuan Wu nodded and turned to leave.
Abbot Xuan Si raised his head, glanced at the military forces outside the monastery gates, and mumbled silently to himself: Could something go wrong?
"Abbot!" Xuan Wu, who had just left, rushed back looking extremely anxious: "Something terrible has happened!"
A jolt went through Abbot Xuan Si's heart as his eyebrows knitted together: "What has happened?"
"Elder Xuan Ming... he... he..."
"What's wrong with him?"
"He's been captured!"
"What?" Abbot Xuan Si's eyes widened, his face showing disbelief: "What are you talking about? Brother Xuan Ming has been captured? By whom?"
"It's that Gao Fei..."
"Gao Fei? Impossible! He's just a minor cultivator at the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm; how could he have the power to capture Brother Xuan Ming?"
"It's absolutely true! I'm telling the whole truth... Look, here they come!!" Xuan Wu pointed towards the direction behind the mountain and shouted.
"Swish!"
Abbot Xuan Si looked up and saw two figures flying from the direction of the mountain. It was indeed Gao Fei and Monk Xuan Ming. Despite the distance, Abbot Xuan Si could see clearly that Xuan Ming was being held by Gao Fei, pale-faced, with his monk's robe torn and blood on the corners of his mouth, appearing very bedraggled.
"Ah?" Abbot Xuan Si gasped, was it actually true? Had Brother Xuan Ming really been captured by Gao Fei? How... how was that possible? Brother Xuan Ming was a Great Cultivator at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, his cultivation level a whole major realm higher than Gao Fei's. Even if Brother Xuan Ming were incompetent, he shouldn't have been captured by Gao Fei, right?
There must be something strange afoot!
All the monks who witnessed this scene were shocked!
"Hahaha..."
Only one person was very excited, and that was He Hentian. He laughed uproariously to the sky: "I knew Gao Fei wouldn't be at a disadvantage! Awesome! Truly awesome! To think he captured a monk at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage? Incredible!!!"
While everyone was still in shock, Gao Fei, holding Monk Xuan Ming, arrived at the monastery entrance.
"How dare you!" Xuan Wu, the head of Damo Court, shouted loudly: "Release Elder Xuan Ming at once! Or I will slay you where you stand!"
"Yes, release Elder Xuan Ming!"
"Let him go immediately!"
"What audacity, to even dare to capture Elder Xuan Ming! You must be tired of living!"
"I'm very curious, though, how was Elder Xuan Ming captured by the enemy? Elder Xuan Ming's strength clearly surpasses his!"
...
A bunch of monks yelled at the top of their lungs. If not for being held back by Abbot Xuan Si, they would have rushed forward to beat Gao Fei up.
