Chapter 97 Aftermath
Sheng Wansong actually only used half a move.
The eighth palm strike of the Tathagata Palm, Boundless Buddhist Dharma, is a palm strike that combines offense and defense. Sheng Wansong only used it for defense and did not complete the final palm strike.
The power of each strike of the Tathagata Palm surpasses that of the previous ones, with the final three strikes being particularly terrifying.
If he were to unleash that palm strike, it would instantly destroy the Heavenly Blade and reduce Liang Chen to dust.
Instead of a direct confrontation, they waited until Liang Chen was exhausted before reaping the victory.
Sheng Wansong did this to save face for Liang Chen, so that he could lose with some dignity.
After Liang Chen's passing, the scene fell silent.
Some secretly look forward to this duel, while others are only interested in gambling.
But no one ever imagined that this battle would be of such a high level.
"father!"
The first person to react was a very old man.
He ran past Sheng Wansong and rushed towards the missing people whose lives Liang Chen had sacrificed.
They picked up an elderly man with gray hair; the man was actually middle-aged.
The father and son are only 15 years apart in age, but now they look like a great-grandson holding his great-grandfather.
As if waking from a dream, everyone rushed to their relatives and friends.
The atmosphere at the scene was polarized.
While some mourned their loved ones, others rejoiced at witnessing a showdown of the century.
Many others, however, experience wild joy and sorrow over the wins and losses of their bets.
Those who came from afar were either true martial artists or gamblers who had placed heavy bets.
People's joys and sorrows are not the same.
Suddenly, a joyful shout rang out from the crowd, "He's alive! He's alive!"
They are certainly still alive.
Sheng Wansong had already figured it out: Liang Chen hadn't drained these people's lifespans, but had instead given them three years.
Just like himself when the Famous Sword Manor had just ended.
Sheng Wansong withdrew his gaze.
When a highly anticipated duel in the martial arts world ends, various factions will usually come forward to offer their congratulations or invite the participants to their homes.
However, this match against Sheng Wansong did not have that.
Because I can't understand it.
This duel was beyond their comprehension.
When various forces intervene, they only stand on the side of those in power; at worst, they can at least protect themselves.
But this time, it was not like that.
Unless they already have a prior relationship, they wouldn't dare to suddenly step forward and try to establish a connection.
Four of the six major sects were present for this duel.
Wudang Sect Leader Qingxu, Shaolin Abbot Yuanjue, Chief Constable Zhu Wu of the Six Doors, and Ouyang Heng, Master of Mingjian Villa
Although some disciples of the Beggars' Sect came, none of the higher-ups did.
I've heard that the Beggars' Sect's headquarters in Tancheng has been rather unsettled lately, probably because they're too busy with internal affairs to attend to other matters.
Shenyingmen, being far beyond the Great Wall, did not participate in this event.
The Wudang and Shaolin sects, representing the pinnacle of righteousness in the martial arts world, have gone to check on the situation of these missing persons.
The last of the Famous Sword Manor.
The manor lord, Ouyang Heng, smiled broadly, with his children, Ouyang Hai and Ouyang Xue, following behind him.
Before Ouyang Heng could speak, Ouyang Hai said, "I acknowledge you!"
Snapped.
Ouyang Heng slapped his eldest son on the back of the head. "How dare you talk like that? You have no manners!"
"Besides, what's the point of whether you approve or not, it's between Master Sheng and Xiaoxue!"
The sound wasn't loud, just loud enough for those around to hear.
Although Ouyang Xue was used to their interactions in private, she still blushed in public and lowered her head without saying a word.
"Although I already knew that the Tathagata Palm was incredibly powerful."
"I never imagined it possessed such astonishing power."
Divine Marquis Zhu Wu arrived with the Four Great Constables, appearing more imposing than the group from Famous Sword Manor.
Zhu Wu strode forward, "Young Master Sheng's skill is probably no less than that of Young Master Lin from that day."
"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young; a new era is about to dawn for the martial arts world of the Central Plains."
His expression held a hint of melancholy. "It's a pity we were born a few decades too early; there's probably no place for us in this new era."
Zhu Wu placed his hand on Leng Rushuang's wheelchair.
"Shuang'er, you are still young, remember to learn more from Young Hero Sheng."
Leng Rushuang nodded calmly, "I understand, Godfather."
Behind these people, Shangguan Hong held An Lan's hand and waved to Sheng Wansong.
If she hadn't stopped her, An Lan would have rushed over long ago.
Shangguan Hong pointed to the mountain path and gestured that she and An Lan would wait for them at the foot of the mountain first.
Sheng Wansong gave a gesture of understanding and watched them walk down the mountain.
After chatting about trivial matters for a while, the two old men very tactfully approached the elderly, saying they would help Wudang and Shaolin deal with the situation.
Zhu Wu has the full truth about this incident and said he will make the whole story public.
This can be seen as vindicating the man who became the world's greatest swordsman at the cost of his life, letting the world know that he never sacrificed innocent people.
People start to think about their reputation when they are about to die.
Perhaps Liang Chen targeted those who deserved to die for this very purpose.
Ouyang Xue did not leave with her father, but stayed by Sheng Wansong's side.
Leng Rushuang's relationship with him wasn't that good, so there was no reason for her to stay.
The two of them went down the mountain together.
The people on the mountain, regardless of what they were doing on the surface, were mostly secretly observing the movements of the two and making their own judgments.
Some people are single-minded.
Master Qingxu takes the pulse of the elderly and uses medical methods to diagnose and treat them.
Meanwhile, Master Yuanjue was reciting scriptures and using metaphysics to judge the situation.
The two masters reached the same conclusion.
"The patients are physically fine, without any illness, injury, or disability, just..."
As they hesitated, a slightly stiff voice in Chinese rang out, "They only have three years left to live."
The grandmaster was startled.
Even with their best efforts in diagnosis and treatment, those who can approach them silently are definitely not ordinary experts.
"The poor nun, Sesshoin, comes from the Shingon sect of Japan and has come to China to study advanced Buddhist teachings."
The Japanese nun clasped her hands together and chanted Buddhist scriptures in the Japanese language. Pure white light shone down from between her palms and fell upon the elderly.
Although they haven't fully recovered, their expressions have softened considerably.
Sesshouin opened her eyes, met the hopeful gazes of her family members, and sighed sadly, "This is only to help them adapt to their current bodies; it cannot replenish their life force."
"Two sect leaders, there is another conspiracy behind Liang Chen's actions. However, Liang Chen has done something beyond the expectations of the sect leader due to his own will."
"Want to teach?!"
Zhu Wu happened to walk by at that moment, and upon hearing those two words, he immediately asked for more details.
"This humble nun also does not have a complete understanding of the Desire Sect, but only knows that its leader is named Kama, and that he is good at bewitching people's hearts."
"What makes these people willingly burn their lives is probably Kama's secret method."
People who care about the world exchange information concerning the world on it.
Sheng Wansong didn't care at all and walked down the mountain path with Ouyang Xue.
After walking up several dozen steps, they saw Shangguan Hong and An Lan waiting for them ahead.
Shangguan Hong stood with his hands behind his back, while An Lan kicked pebbles listlessly.
Upon seeing the two, An Lan immediately skipped up the stone steps to greet them, while Shangguan Hong stood there smiling.
"Have you dealt with those important figures?"
Katsumi nodded slightly. "Sorry to keep you waiting. Let's go to the Aoki Houseboat."
T
After revealing unimaginable power, the two did not change their attitude towards Katsumon.
