Chapter 523: Sneak Attack

Seeing the Black-robed Men surrounding them but not attacking, Liang Yu felt a strange sensation welling up in his heart.

He gazed at these mysterious figures, as if he could see through their black robes to the schemes and calculations hidden behind them.

However, despite his heart being full of doubts and conjectures, Liang Yu did not easily expose his position.

He knew deeply that in this situation, maintaining a low profile and remaining hidden was the wisest choice.

Under the sensing of the Emperor Magnetic Field, Liang Yu detected that there were still more ‘Old Sixes’ who had not yet appeared.

Were there more than one of these ‘Old Sixes’? And where were they hiding?

Various possible identities and motives flashed rapidly through Liang Yu’s mind, but he could not determine which was the correct answer.

Although Liang Yu really wanted to once again employ his scheme of sowing discord to make these two factions fight among themselves, he always felt that things would not be so simple.

These Black-robed Men were clearly well-prepared, and their actions seemed to be under some strict control and command.

If he acted rashly, he feared that not only would he fail to achieve the desired effect, but he would also put himself in greater danger.

After careful consideration, Liang Yu finally decided to endure.

He quietly observed the development of the situation, waiting for a more suitable moment.

However, the Zen Sect member who had just taken action had no such thoughts at all.

His objective was very clear: to quickly resolve this battle.

The reason was simple: they had a companion currently trapped underground, whose life or death was unknown.

Time, for them, was undoubtedly the most precious resource; they absolutely could not waste too much time here.

Every moment of delay could make their companion’s situation more dangerous.

Therefore, he had to defeat his opponent as quickly as possible and then go rescue his companion.

Without another word, the opponent had the Golden Body Chan Master envelop him, and then a powerful force tightly wrapped around him, slowly floating him up into mid-air.

At this moment, the Golden Body Chan Master’s figure appeared exceptionally tall and mighty, like an unshakeable mountain.

His golden, shimmering body still emitted dazzling light in the night.

Upon closer inspection, one would notice that the object the Golden Body Chan Master originally held in one hand had quietly disappeared, as if he had stored it in some mysterious space.

And now, his hands tightly grasped the massive Vajra, which gleamed with a dazzling cold light, seemingly containing endless power.

Just as everyone was astonished, the Golden Body Chan Master suddenly let out a loud roar, like a thunderclap, making people’s eardrums ache.

Accompanying this roar, he suddenly exerted force with both arms, raising the Vajra high, and then, with the force of a thunderbolt, he slammed it down fiercely towards the ground below!

As the Vajra pierced the ground, a golden light was also injected into the ground.

The ground instantly vibrated violently, and golden cracks spread rapidly like a spiderweb.

The Black-robed Men were also affected by this sudden impact, their figures swaying slightly.

Just then, a muffled roar came from underground, as if something terrifying was about to burst out of the earth.

Liang Yu’s heart tightened; he realized this might be related to the companion trapped underground.

Suddenly, the ground exploded, and a blood-soaked figure burst out from underground—it was their missing companion.

But at this moment, his state was very strange: his eyes were bloodshot, and an evil aura emanated from him.

The moment the opponent burst out from the ground, the entire scene seemed to be impacted by a powerful force, and the previously orderly situation instantly became chaotic.

And when the opponent’s figure was fully revealed to everyone, his gaze locked onto the Black-robed Men.

Without the slightest hesitation, he charged directly at the Black-robed Men like a fierce beast, launching a thrilling attack.

Surprisingly, the opponent did not use Zen Sect techniques, but relied entirely on his physical strength.

Every one of his strikes was like a thunderbolt, carrying unparalleled power and speed, making it impossible for the Black-robed Men to resist.

The remaining four quickly noticed the anomaly and decisively took action to control their own comrade, preparing to find a safe place to resolve the issue with him.

Just at this critical moment, suddenly, a series of yellow paper talismans, shining with mysterious runic light, flew in like shooting stars, directly striking the Zen Sect bald monk who had just launched the attack!

These yellow paper talismans flew rapidly in the air, as if pulled by an invisible force, accurately hitting their target.

However, the Zen Sect bald monk showed no sign of panic at the sight.

The Golden Body Chan Master on him suddenly raised an arm, towering like a mountain.

At the same time, the Unmoving Golden Wheel in his hand also began to slowly rotate, emitting a heart-palpitating golden light.

The golden light blocked the yellow paper talismans.

However, as the opponent continuously scattered yellow paper talismans, they quickly surrounded the entire Golden Body Chan Master.

At this point, the Golden Body Chan Master cut open the yellow paper talismans with a single sword stroke, tearing open a gap, and the Zen Sect bald monk took advantage of the opponent not activating, directly escaping through the gap.

As he began, a single word came from above the sky.

“Explode!”

A large number of yellow paper talismans were instantly activated.

The huge explosion deafened everyone, and the shockwave generated by the exploding yellow paper talismans spread outwards like surging waves.

The already chaotic scene became even worse, with many people being thrown to the ground by the impact.

Liang Yu took advantage of the confusion to quietly shift his steps, trying to find the whereabouts of the ‘Old Six’.

Many of the Black-robed Men were also injured in the explosion, but they quickly stabilized their formation, continuing to maintain their defensive posture.

Meanwhile, the few Zen Sect members, while trying to control their companion in his strange state, also had to deal with this sudden attack, appearing somewhat flustered but safely getting through this explosion.

The escaping Zen Sect bald monk also locked onto the position of the enemy in the sky.

The Golden Body Chan Master’s palm tightly gripped the Vajra, his arm muscles taut, as if containing endless power.

And the Vajra, at this moment, glowed with a faint blue light, a light like the North Star in the night sky, not dazzling, but impossible to ignore.

Suddenly, the Golden Body Chan Master swung the Vajra fiercely, and the blue light was instantly activated, like a blue lightning bolt streaking across the sky.

At the same time, a muffled thunder sounded in the sky, as if the swinging of the Vajra had caused a resonance with heaven and earth.

Immediately after, several thick bolts of heavenly lightning descended from the sky, carrying the force of a thunderbolt, striking directly at the position of the person who had just launched the sneak attack.

These heavenly lightning bolts were like giant dragons, baring their fangs and claws, full of momentum; wherever they passed, the air was torn apart, emitting crackling sounds.
