Chapter 157: The collision of fists

What is a lost cause? Is the ferryman telling us that? I just woke up, and my mind is still not quite up to speed, but I suddenly remembered something that made me jump up and say, “Ruoyue, no… Ruoyue!”

I remember that before we entered the inner city, we asked Ruoyue to wait for us at the gate of the inner city. Now that we have all returned to the world of the living, Ruoyue…

“Third brother…” A familiar voice sounded behind me. I didn’t turn around, but I suddenly felt a great sense of relief. I no longer felt cold sweat. Ruoyue was fine. She had also returned to the world of the living.

Ruyue obviously wanted to say something, but at this moment I suddenly felt a terrifying momentum rushing towards us!

I looked up and was surprised to find that we were still on the same rock. The difference was that the rock had now extended out, all the way to a large island in front of us, which was filled with gray mist everywhere…

Where is the new city? Could it be that the big island is the true appearance of the new city? Before I could think much more, I saw a large, gray hand clenched into a fist, emerging from the gray mist on the island and flying toward us. The terrifying momentum came from that fist.

What should I do? A drop of cold sweat trickled down my forehead. Although the distance was far, at this speed, it would hit us hard in less than five seconds. My body was empty, and my spiritual power and skills had been exhausted in the battle just now. Even if I used that technique…

A hand quietly grabbed my sleeve. It was Chengzhen. I turned around and all the people who had woken up were looking at me. Yes, at this time I had to think of a way. Even Chengzhen, a strong woman, began to feel nervous.

What’s worse is that we are no longer in a spiritual state, so whether it’s the speed of casting spells or the power of casting spells, it will be a lot weaker!

A snorting sound came from the ferryman. I only noticed that the ferryman had already taken off his shirt and raised one arm. What kind of arm was it? The muscles were not the kind of lumpy muscles that were developed, but were streamlined. At first glance, they were not as powerful as the tangled muscles of Huigen, but in fact, even I could feel the explosive power under the muscles.

What was even more shocking was that there was a complete dragon tattoo on that arm, also in blood red. As the power gathered, it became clearer and clearer, as if it were about to come to life.

“Ten punches, kid. I can block ten of his punches. From now on, before the formation is fully operational, you have to protect your own lives. You’re on your own.” The ferryman’s voice was full of vicissitudes and a sense of relief.

As he spoke, the fist came crashing down, and the ferryman shouted and swung his fist back.

What a ridiculous scene! That fist was huge, probably the size of dozens of ferrymen combined. Compared to it, the ferryman’s fist was so ridiculous… But when he swung his fist at it, I seemed to hear a dragon’s roar.

Then, I clearly saw a golden force in the same shape as the fist, meeting the big gray fist.

In an instant, they were intertwined, and the world suddenly became quiet… There was only the sound of a breeze, followed by a loud sound of a head-banging, and the sound of Hui Gen’er’s trembling voice: “Master!”

“You have probably met my senior brother, and you have finally discovered the identity of this forgotten person. But don’t mention my Dharma name. From that day on, I have already deprived myself of my Dharma name, and I am no longer qualified to have one.” The ferryman did not turn around, and his voice was still full of vicissitudes, with an indescribable sense of sadness and desolation.

Hui Gen’er did not speak, his voice choked with emotion, and he bowed deeply again…

At this moment, the originally quiet world suddenly exploded with a shocking force where the fists had crossed. Then the lake water below was sucked up, and the remains of countless shipwrecks were sucked up into the sky, then fell down hard.

“Good, again!” The ferryman’s face flushed with excitement, and he shouted with pride.

At this moment, a small gray dot suddenly appeared in the gray mist on the island, flashing toward us. I wanted to take a closer look, but at this moment, the water that had been flowing back suddenly poured down, splashing us with a loud ‘splash’.

When I wiped the lake water off my face, I found that the gray mist on the island was surging, and eighteen small light pillars shot up into the sky, followed by four giant golden light pillars that began to slowly rise.

The lake water dripped from my eyes. At this time, the gray dot had infinitely enlarged, and in my eyes, it reflected the figure of my master. Under his arm, he was holding a small child. If it wasn’t Zhu Zhuo, then who was it?

Seeing the appearance of the master, the ferryman suddenly bent down and performed a deep Buddhist bow. When he looked up, there were tears in his eyes. The master frowned slightly and said, “Well, the human heart is unpredictable. Although the laws of heaven are fair, you have also been counted in your karma, but it is not really your fault.”

The master floated in front of me, and at this time, the gray fist condensed again and smashed at us fiercely. The ferryman quickly got up, raised his arm, and smashed at the fist again.

“I don’t believe that within ten punches, your true form won’t appear. You’re underestimating me. Today, I’ll risk my life to injure your true form.” The fists crossed again, and the ferryman shouted wildly. This time, the dragon’s roar was much clearer.

After the fists crossed, a muffled sound came from the island, and the ferryman took three steps back.

The master is here, and my heart has settled a little. I looked at the master, but I found that the master’s figure had become faint, at least not the real sense of existence when it first appeared.

I felt a pang of sadness, as if I were gradually losing my loved ones. Cheng Yuan was moved, and he had already cried out in grief: “Grandmaster.”

The Grandmaster waved his hand and put Zhu Zhu down. It was only then that I noticed that Zhu Zhu was sleeping. The Grandmaster said, “When I came out, I found this kid. I saw that you still owe it a fruit. So I brought it along.”

Yes, Zhu Zhu led us here, and we owe him a fruit. In the face of this situation, the master didn’t say much, but slowly looked around.

My gaze followed the Master’s, and only then did I realize that a blue energy was connecting the boundary pillar to the gray mist island. Above the energy, a continuous stream of blue figures were rushing toward the island.

Eighteen thin pillars of light began to rotate, and the four huge pillars of energy gradually rose into the sky. I was stunned just by looking at the huge pillar of golden energy!

At this time, the entire lake began to sway, and the water in four or five places began to boil, and then the water column rose up into the sky… I knew very well that this was the aftermath of the second blow, which was much more powerful than the first blow.

Such a shock made us stand unsteady, but my eyes could not leave the four golden pillars.

Because in the four golden pillars of light, I first saw Shatu roaring in one of the pillars of light, and in the other pillar of light was the complete form of the Snake and the Turtle, entwined together in a way that could only remind one of the existence of the Xuanwu.

The other pillar of light was a little strange. It was a somewhat ethereal red bird. In the heart of the red bird, there was a small, unclear black dot. It was not clear to the eye, but when I closed my eyes and used my heavenly eye, I clearly saw that the black dot was actually Tao Bai, who was sleeping.

Tao Bai… I was silent, and behind me, Lushan’s voice with a sigh sounded: “In the end…” In the end what? Lushan didn’t say it, and he still hasn’t planned to reveal this secret.

As for the last pillar of light, it was much dimmer than the other three pillars of light. It could be seen that the aggressive dragon in the wish was desperately swimming, but it always felt a bit difficult to support.

“The formation is a bit off, and it’s still difficult to operate! It can only force out the city lord.” The master said indifferently.

But how do you force the lord out? The master seemed to see through my thoughts and said, “It must be able to force it out because it wants you dead! It has seen that the pseudo-four images sealed in the light pillar are mostly your combined souls. It is not capable of destroying the great formation, but as long as you die, those combined souls will be greatly harmed by the backlash and will no longer be able to support the great formation.

“This is the final battle. The old city lord has no way out, and has now joined forces with the new city lord…” The master added an explanation.

At this time, for the third time, the gray fist smashed toward us again. This time, the fist had a little more substance than the previous ones, and it looked even more powerful.

“Chengyi, fight! Fight without fear. This is what the Shan Zi vein should bear! Didn’t you hear him? Ten punches. Within these ten punches, he will definitely force out the city lord. Get ready.” The voice of the master was still indifferent, as if he was just telling a matter of course.

Fight? The final battle! The alliance between the new city lord and the old city lord… fight!

I looked up at the purple-red sky and finally pressed the forbidden mantra!
