"How foolish!"

The head of the Arhat Hall frowned deeply and said, "Someone dug a pit, and he just jumped in himself."

Abbot Ben Guang remained silent.

This Ming Jing could spontaneously compose Buddhist verses, showing his decent comprehension and cleverness, not seeming like such a foolish person.

However, deep down, he was uncertain.

"Do you think the junior brother has fallen for it?"

The Du Clan member asked worriedly.

Ming Yuan maintained a calm expression, shook his head, and said, "Both sides have raised the stakes to the maximum; everything depends on the outcome of this battle. If the junior brother wins, then the one duped would be that Sect Leader."

"It feels more like the junior brother is setting a trap to lure the other side in. What do you think, senior?"

The last sentence was directed to the elder behind him.

The elder responded blandly, "From what I know, this lad's sword skill is decent, but when it comes to fists and feet, he can only use Buddhist Martial Arts, so his chances aren't high."

"Moreover, the Esoteric Sect also has True Words and Secret Mantra, and the Great Hand Seal, which can stimulate one's potential."

The elder had witnessed the scene when Chen Tang and Lu Qing broke through outside Mist Rain Village.

Hearing what the elder said, Ming Yuan felt more uncertain.

In the square, Chen Tang and Zhaba stood ready.

"The first move!"

Zhaba exhaled, stepped forward three times deliberately, and launched a straight punch with significant force aligning his legs, waist, and abdomen.

This punch was much stronger than the previous one!

This meant Zhaba had clearly held back just now.

Chen Tang didn't dodge or evade, clasped his hands, bowed slightly forward, and used the Child Worshipping Buddha move from the Arhat Fist with extreme precision!

Bam!

A muffled sound was heard.

Both of them were shaken, each taking half a step back!

"Hmm?"

Zhaba slightly frowned.

This person has enormous strength!

Unexpectedly, the Great Strength Vajra Hand coupled with the Arhat Fist could unleash such power.

The crowd buzzed with excitement.

It seemed like that Ming Jing also had something up his sleeve just now!

"Didn't he use the Child Worshipping Buddha move quite well?"

Abbot Ben Guang glanced at the head of the Arhat Hall.

Zhaba maintained his composure, spread his hands outward, and gently touched his thumb and index finger together, forming a hand seal that seemed to grasp something ethereal, enveloping Chen Tang!

A dazzling light burst forth between the seals!

"Esoteric Great Hand Seal, Sun Wheel Seal!"

Among the monks, someone recognized the origin of this hand seal.

Recently, some monks suffered under this Esoteric Great Hand Seal.

This Sun Wheel Seal seemed to harness the sun's energy, concentrating it between the palms with formidable force; carelessness could result in burns.

At this moment, the sky was darkening.

Although the power of the Sun Wheel Seal had diminished, it was still formidable.

Chen Tang, once again, didn't dodge or evade and employed the Child Worshipping Buddha move.

"It's over, this person is bound to lose!"

"The other has already changed moves and used a trump card, yet he's still using the starting move of Arhat Fist, truly inflexible."

"You might not know, but he just learned the Arhat Fist and mastered this move in one afternoon."

Amidst the crowd's discussions, as the two were about to collide, Chen Tang's hands, previously joined, suddenly parted as if holding a bowl.

This move seemed like Child Worshipping Buddha but was slightly different.

"Under pressure, his move is incorrect."

The head of the Arhat Hall shook his head.

"No!"

Abbot Ben Guang's expression changed, staring intently at Chen Tang's move, and whispered, "Look carefully!"

The head of the Arhat Hall focused his gaze.

Boom!

At this moment, the two clashed again.

The brilliance condensed by the Sun Wheel Seal dissipated completely.

While Chen Tang's palms couldn't hold on, his technique dissipated instantly, and he retreated half a step.

After all, he had just learned the Arhat Demon-Subduing Fist, barely achieving the appearance.

Zhaba's Esoteric Great Hand Seal had reached the level of the Divine Realm!

Even so, it was enough to trigger a wave of exclamations!

"Abbot, could this lad be using..."

The head of the Arhat Hall's face showed incredulity, recalling a legend about the Arhat Fist.

It's said that the Arhat Fist was a simplified version of the Arhat Demon-Subduing Fist.

Because the original fist technique was too powerful and difficult to master at the beginning, if practiced to perfection, it could subdue demons; insufficient cultivation made it impossible to train.

Therefore, it was simplified into a version everyone could practice.

However, no one had ever seen what the Arhat Demon-Subduing Fist looked like.

"Three moves left!"

After receiving the Sun Wheel Seal, Chen Tang shook his hands and spoke cheerfully.

Zhaba immediately tensed up.

The Esoteric Sect Leader furrowed his brows, speaking sternly, "Zhaba, don't hold back, defeat him with all you have!"

"Understood!"

Zhaba responded loudly.

"Inner Lion Seal!"

Zhaba whispered, directly biting open his fingertips to let out a stream of blood.

"Strange."

Chen Tang mumbled softly.

His countless battle experiences and instincts told him he should strike first to interrupt the opponent and seize the initiative.

But hearing the four characters 'Inner Lion Seal' from Zhaba's mouth, he was stirred, recalling the moves regarding the Cyan Lion Form from the Arhat Demon-Subduing Fist in his mind.

Back then, he didn't quite understand, thinking those moves were odd.

Furthermore, while practicing the Cyan Lion Form, several scriptures surfaced in his mind.

Now he realized, the Cyan Lion Form must be a kind of Sealing Secret Technique!

Chen Tang quickly focused intently, watching Zhaba's every move.

This was a rare learning opportunity.

Zhaba's left hand formed a mysterious and intricate hand seal with his blood in front of him.

Upon releasing this seal, Zhaba's aura immediately heightened noticeably!

"Inner Lion Seal!"

"This Esoteric Monk is going all out now."

"In previous battles, none of our Zen Temple disciples forced him to this extent."

"His power already exceeds ten stones; if it increases further, to what extent will it reach?"

The high monks' expressions were grave.

"Pity."

The elder said faintly, "This Esoteric Great Hand Seal can stimulate potential, enhancing power. The only way to break it is to interrupt the casting process, but this lad has missed his chance."

Ming Yuan felt worried and loudly reminded, "Junior brother, his Esoteric Hand Seal can stimulate potential, be careful."

"Oh?"

Chen Tang was greatly intrigued.

The Esoteric Sect's heritage had such methods?

This is akin to a BUFF!

"It's too late now."

Zhaba shouted loudly, "Take my move, Outer Lion Seal!"

His right hand formed another hand seal, condensing blood from his fingertips in front of him.

As the hand seal formed, a deafening lion's roar resounded across the square like a thunderclap, startling numerous beasts!

Zhaba's loud shout and the lion's roar almost perfectly merged, with momentum and strength reaching their peaks!

The Inner and Outer Lion Seals exploded simultaneously!

In Buddhism, lions symbolize bravery and fearlessness.

The Buddhist scriptures record many myths about lions!

Some Bodhisattvas' mounts include lions, these divine beasts.

Zhaba charged forward like a majestic lion, unstoppable!
