Chapter 91 The Willing Take the Bait

Hearing Ying Chen's words, Han Shixi's pupils widened in shock.

Immediately, he felt as if he had been fooled and roared, "Scoundrel! How dare you insult our Holy Ancestor!"

"What era was Saint Ancestor Xu Fu from? What era are you from? How dare you boast that you guided our Saint Ancestor!"

"You are courting death!"

Clearly, in Han Shixi's opinion, Ying Chen was so young, even appearing younger than him.

How could he have interacted with Saint Ancestor Xu Fu from two thousand years ago?

It was utterly preposterous!

And the only purpose for Ying Chen saying this was likely to humiliate his sect and shatter his Dao heart!

"You are facing the most outstanding disciple of the Hamo school! You think a few words can break my Dao heart? Dream on!"

"Guiming! Vajra Boundless! Destroy!"

After Han Shixi spoke, he rapidly formed a complex hand seal.

As he sealed his hands, a dark golden hue was born from the void, transforming in the next second into a wall adorned with strange patterns, rapidly crushing towards Ying Chen.

Everything it passed was crushed into pieces, and a deep沟壑 appeared on the ground!

It was evident that Han Shixi was not boasting; he truly was an outstanding disciple.

Unfortunately, Han Shixi had encountered Ying Chen.

Someone who was a bug even two thousand years ago, and an even greater bug now that he had awakened.

Ying Chen, with a mocking smile on his lips, slowly uttered, "This kind of flashy, blustering tactic is truly his descendant!"

"If even he is called a Holy Ancestor, then what am I?"

"A god? Or an immortal?"

As his voice fell, Ying Chen suddenly raised a finger and slowly drew a "卍" character in the air!

The character formed and, arriving first, struck the wall summoned by Han Shixi!

Boom!

With a violent explosion, the wall, under the impact of the 卍 character, did not last even a second.

It shattered into dust!

Han Shixi himself staggered and vomited a mouthful of fresh blood!

"The 卍 character! Are you a Buddhist cultivator?"

Han Shixi's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed.

"Buddhism?" Ying Chen raised an eyebrow and then chuckled.

Ying Chen knew very well that after the extinction of the Fangshi lineage, the Dragon Country's Xuanmen had evolved into two schools: Taoism and Buddhism.

And Buddhism, most commonly, used the 卍 character.

Countless ancient texts and films had depicted the 卍 character as a symbol of Buddhism.

Little did they know, this was incorrect!

The 卍 character was a symbol that had existed in the Dragon Country since ancient times!

Stone artifacts bearing the 卍 character were unearthed from the Pengtoushan cultural site 9,000 years ago!

If that was merely a coincidence, then the numerous "Four Seasons Big Dipper Polar Symbols" found in the Hemudu culture were irrefutable proof!

Because the Four Seasons Big Dipper Polar Symbols were almost identical to the 卍 character!

It was not until the Xia and Shang dynasties, when the Sages severed the connection between heaven and man, hiding all information related to celestial phenomena and deities, that the Four Seasons Big Dipper Polar Symbols were only found on precious oracle bones or bronzeware, no longer common among the populace.

It was not until later that the Four Seasons Big Dipper Polar Symbols were discovered by Buddhism, who claimed them as their own and used them as a symbol of Buddhism.

The 卍 character was even personally named "Wan" by the Tang Dynasty Empress Wu Zetian, meaning "where all virtues gather auspiciously."

From then on, the 卍 character was completely branded as Buddhist, and almost no one knew that the 卍 character actually originated from the Dragon Country and represented the summary and application of celestial phenomena power by their ancestors.

Han Shixi was clearly misled by this. Seeing Ying Chen use the Four Seasons Big Dipper Polar Symbol, he mistakenly believed Ying Chen was a Buddhist.

"I knew that a small family like the Min family wouldn't be qualified to take over this villa!"

"So they have Buddhist backing!"

"However, Master, you seem to have forgotten a rule of the underworld: crossing the line gets you de-handed! Do you dare to trespass into Jianghai without asking us Jianghai natives?"

Han Shixi's eyes flickered like a venomous snake ready to strike as he spoke.

Ying Chen's brows furrowed upon hearing this.

Han Shixi's string of slang left Ying Chen confused.

However, Ying Chen was too lazy to delve into it and waved his hand.

Immediately, another Four Seasons Big Dipper Polar Symbol appeared.

The talisman condensed immense power in the air, like the constantly rotating Big Dipper.

Large amounts of air were stirred, creating a visual effect resembling a black hole.

Han Shixi's expression turned to horror.

He had never seen anyone wield such terrifying power from a small 卍 character!

This was like that internet meme: "hand-crafted nuclear bomb"!

Facing an opponent who could casually create a nuclear bomb, any sane person would know what to do!

Run!

Han Shixi hesitated not at all, forming a seal at his fastest speed.

At the same time, he rapidly chanted, "Guiming! Firm! Firm! Glazed Vase!"

In the next second, a dazzling, glazed-like barrier appeared.

It blocked in front of Han Shixi.

Han Shixi then exerted all his strength and desperately fled towards the villa's exit.

Boom!

A loud explosion echoed from behind Han Shixi.

But Han Shixi didn't even dare to look back.

Because he knew it was the sound of Ying Chen's 卍 character colliding with his glazed vase!

Crack!

Another loud noise came from behind Han Shixi.

Han Shixi still didn't look back.

Because he knew that was the sound of the 卍 character shattering the glazed vase!

And if he looked back, even for a moment, that one-second delay would be enough to cost him his chance of escape!

The battle of experts was decided in that brief second!

"Huff, huff, huff," Han Shixi ran wildly like a stray dog.

Only after fleeing thousands of meters, when he confirmed there was no danger behind him, did he dare to slow down slightly and look back.

He saw that Ying Chen was no longer visible behind him, only the gate of the villa on the mountaintop could be vaguely seen.

And a mushroom cloud in front of the gate.

That was the smoke and dust from the collision of the 卍 character and the glazed vase.

Just looking at that mushroom cloud, Han Shixi secretly thanked himself for being decisive and not procrastinating.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have just been the glazed vase that turned into a mushroom cloud, but him as well!

"I must report to Master immediately!"

"I never imagined that Buddhist experts would be involved in this matter. I wonder if Yan Yang invited them, or if Buddhism saw the value of this villa and snatched it away."

"But regardless of the reason, this villa will forever have only one owner, and that is my master – Tsutsumi Shinichi!"

"You damned bald donkey, you don't know your life is hanging by a thread. Just wait for your death!"

Han Shixi cast one last glance at the villa, cursed, and turned to descend the mountain.

Inside the villa.

Ying Chen, with a playful smile on his face, did not pursue.

Instead, he leisurely recited a poem: "A gentle breeze blows the fishing line, gracefully ten feet long. Fishing for men, not fish, seventy years old to find King Wen."
