Chapter 116 Fierce Battle

The Great Wheel King, suspended in mid-air, saw a crimson light flash from Shi Potian's palm and was terrified, unable to help but shout:

"A flame blade?"

This was no small shock!

Without time to think, he was in mid-air with nowhere to dodge, his robe billowing wildly, and his protective divine skill was instantly activated to its limit—the protective true energy of the tenth level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, which was already rarely broken by anyone in the world.

The moment he activated his protective divine skill, the crimson blade energy had already reached his chest!

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, the Great Wheel King was sent flying backward by the slash!

That fiery blade energy was indeed incredibly domineering, actually piercing through his protective true energy and striking his chest squarely!

A long tear appeared in the crimson robe, revealing bronze skin beneath. A charred knife mark was clearly visible on the skin.

The Great Wheel King groaned, a sweet taste rising in his throat, which he forced down.

He was thrown backward, crashing heavily against the gunwale of his own ship with a loud bang, causing the ship to shake violently. He flipped himself onto the bow, staring at Shi Potian with a face full of shock and disbelief.

"Flame Blade...you...how do you know how to use a flame blade?!"

His voice was excited as he stared intently at Shi Potian.

Shi Potian withdrew his hand, the red light in his palm gradually dissipating. He looked at the Great Wheel King opposite him and said seriously:

"I just mastered it. How about it? How did you know it was called Flame Blade? I just came up with that name myself."

The Great Wheel King was both surprised and delighted. This Flaming Blade was a secret technique of Tantric Buddhism that had been lost for hundreds of years. Legend has it that there was once a peerless monk in Tibet who used this sword technique to roam the Western Regions, and no one could defeat him. He even competed with masters from the Central Plains, but unfortunately he was defeated by the Six Meridians Divine Sword.

Later, the eminent monk passed away, and the Flaming Blade technique was lost, leaving only fragmentary records.

In his youth, the Great Wheel King searched far and wide for Tibetan scriptures, hoping to find the method for cultivating the Flaming Blade, but to no avail. He once thought that this divine skill had long been lost to the annals of history.

But today, a young man from the Central Plains actually displayed this esoteric Buddhist technique that had been lost for hundreds of years right in front of him!

Moreover, the power of this strike is no weaker than recorded!

"Where...where did you learn that?" the Great Wheel King asked excitedly, taking Shi Potian's mention of the newly chosen name as a joke.

Qu Feiyan shouted loudly in the cabin, "Why should I tell you where I learned it? I'll tell you once you become my disciple."

Zhang Yuanying chuckled coldly, "I told you you wouldn't be able to get on the ship, and you were still unconvinced. How does it feel now?"

Shi Potian smiled slightly, and without wasting words with the Great Wheel King, he simply beckoned to Qu Feiyan and asked her for something.

The man in the straw hat shouted, "Master, now is not the time to inquire about this! Chief Jie, their ship is about to escape, we must chase after them!"

Zhang Jin'ao simultaneously ordered his Beggars' Sect disciples to intercept them in small boats. Zhang Yuanying shouted, "Chief Jie, are you going to send ordinary disciples to their deaths again? Are you going back on your word?"

Jie Feng glanced at Elder Bai and his disciples who were poisoned on the other ship, and seeing that Shi Potian possessed the divine skill of the Flaming Blade, ordinary disciples would only be throwing their lives away if they went up against him. He immediately shouted, "Miss Zhang, you can't escape!"

He ordered the ship to follow closely behind, and then ordered the ordinary disciples to withdraw.

The two ships chased each other at high speed on Dongting Lake.

Luo Sanwan stood aside, still shaken by the battle, and said to the Great Wheel King, "Master...you...you were actually injured?"

The old monk's previous palm strike was like Mount Tai crashing down, almost capsizing the boat. The Knife King knew he was no match for him. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he was injured by this young镖头 (bodyguard/escort).

The Great Wheel King looked down at the scorch marks on his chest. Although he looked disheveled and unsightly, he didn't care.

He was certainly injured. If he hadn't mastered the tenth level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill and had a strong protective inner energy that neutralized some of the blade's energy, that strike would have cut him in two and taken his life.

Even so, he still suffered serious internal injuries.

Jie Feng's face grew increasingly grim. He had been so confident just moments before, planning to join forces to take down Shi Potian. Now, seeing the Great Wheel King cleaved away by a single blow, anxiety welled up within him: With their current lineup, could they really not retrieve the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms?

This is absolutely impossible.

The man in the straw hat stood at the bow of the boat, his gaze deep, staring at Shi Potian for a long time before suddenly sighing:

As the ancients said, "A scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days of separation," and this is indeed true.

"In just a few days, the young镖头 (bodyguard/escort) has not only made rapid progress in his skills, but has also mastered the new Flaming Blade technique. It's truly admirable."

He paused, then abruptly changed the subject:

"but--"

He glanced at Longkui, who had returned to the bow of the ship, then at Zhang Gongzi, who was unable to move inside the cabin, his eyes gleaming:

"The arrow is on the bowstring today, and we have no choice but to release it. There's no reason for us to leave empty-handed. We have no choice but to charge in."

The Great Wheel King clutched his chest, slowly straightened up, and said in a deep voice, "That's right. The secret techniques of Tantric Buddhism, lost for hundreds of years, have fallen into the hands of the young镖头 (bodyguard/escort), and we can't worry about that today."

He reached behind him and took something off—two enormous golden wheels, their edges sharp as knives, their surfaces engraved with Sanskrit, gleaming in the sunlight. These were his famous weapons, the "Great Sun Golden Wheels."

Luo Sanwan brandished his longsword, grinning, "Watching Ming Wang fight so hard just now made my hands itch. Kid, your Flaming Blade is indeed powerful, but can you take down several of us with one strike?"

The man in the straw hat also drew a long whip from his waist, slowly unfurled it, and the tip of the whip made a crisp "snap" sound in the air.

"Young Master Escort, please forgive me."

The man in the straw hat shouted, raised his right hand, and the white python whip flew out like a long white snake, snapping around the mast of his own ship! He used the force to swing, and his whole body flew up from the ship like a big bird, heading straight for Shi Potian's ship!

Instead of rushing towards the bow, he went straight to the cabin, his purpose obvious: to capture Long Kui first, rather than confront Shi Potian directly.

With a roar, the Great Wheel King swung his right arm, and a golden sun wheel flew out of his hand, spinning rapidly in the air and making a strange whistling sound, heading straight for Shi Potian! At the same time, he leaped up and pounced on the bow of the ship again, partly to restrain Shi Potian, and partly to regain the face he had just lost.

Jie Feng, Luo Sanwan, and others also grabbed their weapons and charged forward.

Standing at the stern, Shi Potian saw the man in the straw hat rushing towards the cabin. Just as he was about to step forward to stop him, the golden wheel of the Great Wheel King, accompanied by a strange whistling sound, spun and crashed into him first.

He paused, raised his right hand, and suddenly activated the "Silver Saddle Shining on White Horse" divine skill!

Make a fleeting gesture on the spinning golden wheel!

As if pulled by invisible threads, the golden wheel suddenly accelerated with a whoosh and crashed into the man in the straw hat!

The man in the straw hat was rushing towards the cabin when he suddenly saw a flash of golden light. The Great Sun Golden Wheel, which was supposed to attack Shi Potian, was already in front of him!

"What?!"

Though startled, he remained calm, knowing it was Shi Potian's teleportation technique that had struck again. The white python whip quickly lashed out, snapping around the edge of the golden wheel with a "crack!"

However, the golden wheel's momentum was too fierce. Even with his profound inner strength, the obstacle caused his forward momentum to suddenly halt, and he plummeted straight towards the lake surface. He quickly swung his white python whip, wrapping it around the side of the boat to stabilize himself.

At the same time, Shi Potian flipped his left hand, and a crimson blade of energy shot out, once again slashing straight at the Great Wheel King!

The Great Wheel King was in mid-air, about to step onto the bow of the ship, when he saw the fiery sword energy attacking again. He was prepared and suddenly slashed out with the other golden wheel in his hand.

"boom!"

The blade energy collided violently with the golden wheel. The Great Wheel King shuddered, finally managing to block the blade energy. He looked down at the golden wheel and saw that it had been cleaved with a deep gash, which pained him greatly.

Just then—

A sudden change has occurred!

The man in the straw hat had just regained his footing and was about to use the momentum to leap back into the cabin when suddenly a whooshing sound came from behind him. The man sneered:

"A trivial skill."

With a flick of his finger, he deflected the incoming projectile.

His wrist jerked, and just as he was about to board the ship, he suddenly cried out, "Ah—!"

The voice was extremely shrill, as if it had encountered something incredibly terrifying!

The Great Wheel King, who was in mid-air, suddenly covered his face and screamed in agony: "Ugh—!"

The two screamed almost simultaneously, their cries echoing across Dongting Lake!

The entire audience was stunned!
