In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

Once he reaches the pinnacle of the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, he might not even take the Twin Heroes of Ghost Valley seriously.

I never imagined that I would only find out today that my unparalleled divine power, which I once held in awe of all under heaven, and my domineering swordsmanship, which was so incredibly vulnerable, were actually so easily defeated.

With his current strength, this sword strike has already accumulated the sword's power to its peak. Even if the sword energy that follows is stronger, it will definitely not reach the explosive attack of just now.

....... ..... 0

Therefore, if the first attack fails, subsequent attacks will be even less likely to break through Juexin's Golden Bell Shield.

"It's just a friendly spar, and besides, how can you determine victory or defeat after just one sword strike?"

Even after winning, Juexin maintained a good demeanor, remaining neither arrogant nor impatient, and showing no desire to win.

"A loss is a loss!"

If my strongest sword strike cannot break through your defense, then I have lost completely. I, Chen Sheng, have been defeated countless times along the way; one more time will make no difference.

But every failure makes me stronger, and this time is no exception.

Chen Sheng looked at the old monk Juexin, his eyes blazing with boundless fighting spirit.

This sword strike today has completely shattered his mindset that he was invincible below the Grandmaster level.

Although this was not a real life-or-death struggle, he still knew Juexin's rules: only if he could break through Juexin's defenses could he force Juexin to retaliate.

Otherwise, given that his sword strike just now couldn't even break through Juexin's defense, he wouldn't have the slightest chance of winning against Juexin.

The Golden Bell Shield isn't an indestructible toy; it only provides defense and has no offensive capabilities.

The Wind and Thunder Divine Power of the Golden Bell Shield, cultivated to the twelfth level, combined with the Prajna Palm, is no less domineering than the Tathagata Palm.

Moreover, Buddhism does not resort to violence, and the practice of not retaliating is also a form of spiritual cultivation.

"Amitabha!"

Watching the black swordsman leave with his sword on his back, without the slightest hesitation, even Juexin couldn't help but feel how terrifying the black swordsman was.

This is a truly formidable and respectable opponent!

Every duel where the opponent cannot be defeated will only make them stronger. During the Battle of Mangshan, even Juexin couldn't help but worry about Zhang Shengli.

Chapter 815 Ouyang Mingri's Purpose

"What a magnificent twelve-level golden bell shield!"

In terms of defense and skill level, it is probably even superior to the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art.

He only drew his sword once in this battle, but no one present was dissatisfied.

Their original purpose was to watch the strongest spear versus the strongest shield.

Now they have seen the result. The black swordsman's sword strike was as swift as lightning and as powerful as splitting mountains. There were very few experts present who could react in time and see the trajectory of the sword, let alone withstand such a terrifying and unparalleled sword strike.

The weight of the Supreme Giant Sword, the Black Swordsman's half-perfect level of the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, and even the Shaolin Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill at its peak level would probably be difficult to withstand this peak sword strike.

Even if the defenses aren't breached, the unparalleled force will smash the entire street through.

It should be noted that the most terrifying thing about the Giant Sword is not its sharpness, but the powerful force carried by its heavy blade, which is enough to crush any enemy in front of it with overwhelming force.

Moreover, besides its defensive and offensive capabilities, the Golden Bell Shield has another unique feature after the ninth level—

Counter-shock!

In particular, the Twelve Gates Golden Bell Shield has an almost 100% counter-force, and it becomes stronger when encountering stronger opponents.

However, this has no effect on true masters. For example, the Black Swordsman's attack just now had its counter-force disappear before it could even be unleashed.

The perfected version of the Wedding Dress Divine Skill possesses a level of control over power that is unmatched by ordinary divine skills.

Otherwise, the Black Swordsman wouldn't have been ranked third on Zhang Xiaoshan's Blacklist, making him one of the top ten sword saints.

The Giant Sword appears enormous and its attacks are incredibly powerful, but the unique properties of the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, which allows the Black Swordsman to control power to the point where he can use the Giant Sword to directly copy and paste fluttering autumn leaves, as if it were a painting.

Therefore, it is wishful thinking for the top swordsmen in the martial arts world to defeat the Black Swordsman with their swift, fierce, and exquisite sword techniques.

"Young Master Ouyang has discerning eyes!"

Ouyang Mingtian had already determined the outcome, and Young Master Nongyue couldn't help but clasp his hands in a gesture of respect.

"Ouyang has only met some eminent Buddhist monks and knows the secrets of Buddhist arts."

Moreover, Zen Master Juexin had also perfected the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, and his true qi was perfectly integrated and did not leak out. With the help of the Zhang family's resources, his true qi was far superior to that of the Great Swordsman.

If it weren't for his advanced age and his insistence on guarding the Zhang family's small plot of land, he would likely have already reached the level of a Buddhist Arhat.

Besides his advanced age, another flaw that Zen Master Juexin failed to overcome in mastering the great masters was his state of mind.

However, it wasn't a demon in his heart, but rather being trapped in the Zhang family.

Wide sea diving, sky high the birds to fly!

For Zen Master Juexin, the Zhang family was a prison, just as Zhao Gao's mindset changed after he seized power in the Qin Dynasty, and he was promoted to Grandmaster.

Juexin, who was with Zhang Yuan every day, was in the same situation.

However, this is not because the Zhang family is unwilling to release him. As long as Juexin requests it, Zhang Yuan or Zhang Xiaoshan will not hinder Juexin's future.

However, even after leaving the Zhang family, Juexin's state of mind will not be completely fulfilled.

Juexin believes that he owes his current status to the Zhang family's kindness. Being ungrateful is far worse than being imprisoned; to put it bluntly, it's tantamount to becoming a demon.

"Young Master Nongyue, Ouyang is going to the Zhang family next. Would you like to come along?"

"Young master, are you going to the Zhang family?"

Young Master Nongyue looked at Ouyang Mingri with confusion. Could it be that Zen Master Juexin had left a hidden injury? Ouyang Mingri could not say more here.

Having discerned Nongyue's thoughts, Ouyang Mingri couldn't help but chuckle:

"Ouyang went to the Zhang family this time because he needed their help."

Legend has it that more than twenty years ago, the young master of the Zhang family obtained a piece of dragon blood vine and made it into several kinds of miraculous medicines, such as dragon blood powder and black jade mending ointment.

The effect of the Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment is that it can reconnect severed limbs, even if the bones of the limbs are shattered, they can be restored to their original state. Ouyang was born with a disability, but thanks to his teacher's careful care over the years, he only needs the Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment to stand up again.

"I see!"

Young Master Nongyue looked at Ouyang Mingri's custom-made wheelchair and nodded in realization.

These secrets of the martial arts world are not secrets to top powers, but obtaining the Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment from the Zhang family is no easy task.

The Zhang family lacks nothing, and over the years, the Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment must have been severely depleted.

Things are rare and valuable!

The rarer something is, the more valuable it is, especially a rare medicine like this.

···

"Even the Black Swordsman's Supreme Giant Sword couldn't break through Juexin's old bald monk's defense. It seems that the Twelve Gates of the Golden Bell Shield are indeed quite impressive."

Several figures on the distant gate tower were also extremely surprised by the final result.

It should be noted that after the Black Swordsman perfected the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, even the two heroes of Ghost Valley felt that they could not withstand his power and would inevitably be defeated in a prolonged battle.

Only by relying on their respective unique skills can a victor be determined in a short time, or both sides suffer heavy losses.

Like Gai Nie's Hundred Steps Flying Sword, if the Black Swordsman didn't have faith in its terrifying defense, he would almost certainly die if he was even slightly careless.

Just like Shangguan Jin Hong against Little Li Flying Dagger, he was clearly stronger than Li Xunhuan, but in the end, he was killed by Li Xunhuan with a single slash.

"In this battle, the order of the blacklist will remain unchanged, and its fairness will be thoroughly proven."

The Black Swordsman's strength is such that even Grandmasters would find him troublesome, yet he was defeated by this bald monk, Juexin. I'm now even more eager to see the ultimate skills of the Zhang family's eldest son.

Wei Zhuang looked at Zhang Sheng beside Zhang Yuan. He was also extremely surprised when he first received news about Zhang Sheng.

You should know that he had met the 'eldest son' of the Zhang family before.

From his martial arts skills, demeanor, and style, there was not a single flaw to be found. I never expected that he was a fake.

However, after the initial surprise, they were impressed by Zhang Xiaoshan's methods.

Even just a stand-in shows that the Zhang family has many experts and their methods are terrifying.

Regardless of whether it's true or false, the Zhang family is another master on the Black List, and a young man at that, with boundless potential.

Therefore, he was even more eager to see Zhang Sheng's strength. If the strength of the stand-in alone had reached the level of the Black List, what level of strength had the real eldest son of the Zhang family reached?

Moreover, the Pure Yang Sword within the Heavenly Secret Staff, barring any unforeseen circumstances, should be the supreme divine sword within the Mo Family's Mechanized City.

This is an unparalleled divine weapon!

"Which young master of the Zhang family? The boy who consumed the dragon's saliva fruit?"

2.0 Chi Lian's beautiful eyes gleamed, her gaze towards Zhang Sheng filled with greed, for that was the blood of ultimate yang.

However, considering that the opponent is number one on the Black List and already possesses strength comparable to the Black Swordsman before revealing his family's secret techniques, it's hard to imagine what level he would reach if he unleashed his full power.

Moreover, both the Twelve Barriers Golden Bell Cover and the Dragon Saliva True Qi have the effect of making one completely immune to poison.

Even the Black Swordsman's Shennong ultimate technique was only average; against these monstrous beings, Chi Lian couldn't withstand the second attack.

"The armored divine skill's defense seems to be no less than that of the Golden Bell Shield, but it remains to be seen whether it can withstand the Black Swordsman's domineering swordsmanship."

The duel between Zhang Sheng and the Black Swordsman was not an attack versus defense, but a true battle of titans.

However, Zhang Sheng's armor-clad divine skill seems to be no less effective than the Golden Bell Shield, so the Black Swordsman may have to face the Diamond twice this time.

Chapter 816 The Dragon and Phoenix Ranking, Number Twenty-Three – Ouyang Mingri

"I am Ouyang Mingri, paying my respects to Elder Zhang!"

In front of the welcoming building, Ouyang Mingri caught up with the group who were about to return.

Seeing the handsome young man, as beautiful as jade, sitting in a wheelchair, even Zhang Yuan couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Instead, Hua Tian, ​​the Demon-Slaying Sword Rain, was startled and exclaimed in surprise:

"Master, Ouyang Mingri is a rising star in the martial arts world who has recently emerged. He is known as the 'Surpassing Hua Tuo' and is a disciple of an old man from the frontier."

Not only was his medical skill unparalleled, but he was also well-versed in astronomy, geography, and the art of divination, enjoying an excellent reputation in the martial arts world, ranking twenty-third on the Dragon and Phoenix List.

Zhang Yuan and the others were even more surprised when they heard this.

"Sai Hua Tuo" is a kind of honor in the martial arts world, similar to the title of the world's number one divine doctor. Those who receive it are all divine doctors in the martial arts world who can bring the dead back to life.

Ouyang Mingri is the youngest "Hua Tuo" in the martial arts world in the past few hundred years.

Moreover, he ranks among the top thirty on the Dragon and Phoenix List, and his martial arts skills are undoubtedly at least at the level of minor mastery, demonstrating exceptional talent.

"So it's the Divine Physician Ouyang. I've been rude."

Zhang Yuan wore a kind smile. Who wouldn't like such a young and outstanding person, a gentle and refined 19-year-old?

Especially since Zhang Yuan is already at the age of mentoring younger generations, he has high hopes for Ouyang Mingri.

"My meager reputation is not something I would dare to flaunt in front of the old master."

"Haha, you flatter me, young master. Sai Huatuo is a pinnacle that many medical practitioners can only reach in their entire lives. You have achieved such a feat at such a young age, and you are a young hero on the Dragon and Phoenix List in the martial arts world. Even Shan'er back then could not have surpassed you."

"I will be flattered by the old patriarch's words tomorrow."

Young Master Zhang's achievements are unparalleled throughout history; how could Ouyang Mingri dare to compare himself to him?

Ouyang Mingri was truly flattered. Zhang Xiaoshan's achievements before the age of twenty were considered normal, but after the age of twenty, they completely surpassed everyone's expectations.

Most importantly, it is Zhang Xiaoshan's management skills. Strength is one aspect, but the real genius lies in his ability to develop the Zhang family into a force that can rival the empire and rank first among the noble families of the Nine Provinces.

“Grandpa, Young Master Ouyang, this is not the place to talk. Let’s go inside.”

“Indeed, please, Young Master Ouyang.”

"Please, patriarch!"

It was impossible for Ouyang Mingri not to be nervous. The top three on the Black List were strong enough to rival grandmasters in the martial arts world. Moreover, although Zhang Yuanming was not a member of the martial arts world on the surface, his status was extraordinary.

Upon entering the Empire State Building, even Ouyang Mingri couldn't help but marvel at the Zhang family's extravagance.

At the same time, I admire Zhang Xiaoshan even more for designing the Empire State Building and the Super Mall. These two money pits alone have allowed the Zhang family to maintain its position as the richest family in China.

"Please trouble the Zen Master to fetch my old Black Jade Broken Heart Ointment."

"Amitabha!"
