Chapter 120 Battle against Grandmaster Ku He
Click to begin the wondrous journey of "Joy of Life: Ye Qingmei, the birth mother, raised by Li Yunrui".
"In return," Ye Tian said, looking at Ku He, Zhan Doudou, and Shen Zhong, Haitang Duoduo, Si Lili, and the others beside him, "I can guarantee that I will not harm Her Majesty Zhan Doudou's life, and I will also protect the lives and certain positions of you, Master, as well as Shen Zhong, Haitang Duoduo, Si Lili, and all the former officials of Northern Qi who have submitted. Furthermore, after the establishment of the new dynasty, they can continue to hold important positions in the new dynasty, working for the well-being of the people. What do you say?"
These words exploded in everyone's ears like a thunderclap!
Ye Tian didn't just want Northern Qi to submit; he actually wanted Ku He, this Grandmaster, to help him establish a new dynasty! His ambition had long surpassed the struggle for supremacy between Qing and Northern Qi; he was plotting to conquer the entire world!
Zhan Doudou was completely stunned. She never expected Ye Tian to make such an earth-shattering offer!
After hearing Ye Tian's words, Ku He fell into a long silence.
His deep eyes flickered with complex emotions: struggle, pain, resentment, and a hint of something else—a strange feeling, stirred by Ye Tian's words about "establishing a truly prosperous dynasty where everyone is like a dragon."
He knew that Ye Tian's words were true. With the strength Ye Tian had displayed and that mysterious and invincible iron cavalry, Northern Qi had absolutely no chance of resistance. If he insisted on resisting, all that awaited Northern Qi was utter destruction, a mutual annihilation.
The "bet" proposed by Ye Tian
Although he still placed the fate of Northern Qi on his own shoulders,
Yet, a glimmer of hope remained. Not only for Zhan Doudou and his former officials, but also for the millions of people of Northern Qi.
After a long while, Ku He slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were now clear and bright; all her struggle and resentment had vanished.
All that remains is the compassion of an enlightened monk and the resolute determination of a great master.
He faced Ye Tian, clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and said in an aged yet unwavering voice, "Your Highness, Prince Qin, what a grand gesture, what a heavy gamble. Do I have any other choice?"
He gave a bitter laugh, his eyes filled with helplessness and sorrow: "For Your Majesty, for the countless lives of Northern Qi, for that faint glimmer of hope that may exist, this old monk will gamble this game with Your Highness!"
"Life and death, victory and defeat, are all ordained by fate! Amitabha!"
Left with no other choice, Ku He finally agreed to Ye Tian's challenge!
Upon hearing this, Zhan Doudou's delicate body trembled, her eyes filled with despair and a faint glimmer of hope.
She knew this was Northern Qi's last chance.
Fan Xian, Sang Wen, Si Lili, Haitang Duoduo, Shen Zhong, and others also held their breath.
They knew that what followed would be a battle that would truly determine the fate of Northern Qi.
Even this is the first time.
A battle of epic proportions that could potentially reshape the world order!
·····················
The gamble is over; life and death, victory and defeat, hinge on this one battle!
Master Kuhe and Ye Tian stood facing each other, and the ruins of the entire Northern Qi palace seemed to fall into a deathly silence because of the upcoming showdown. Zhan Doudou, Fan Xian, Haitang Duoduo, Si Lili, Sang Wen, Shen Zhong, and the remaining Northern Qi guards all held their breath, their hearts in their throats, their eyes fixed on the two figures in the arena.
The usual compassion and serenity were gone from Master Kuhe's withered face, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity and resolve. He slowly closed his eyes, and his simple gray monk's robe fluttered without wind. A vast and majestic aura, subtly in harmony with heaven and earth, emanated from his seemingly frail body.
"Amitabha!"
A Buddhist chant, like a resounding bell, echoed in everyone's hearts.
Ku He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with a sharp light. He no longer showed any signs of aging; instead, he was filled with the majesty of an angry Vajra! He took a step forward, and the bluestone ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch. Instead of retreating, he advanced, neither dodging nor avoiding, and actually launched an attack on Ye Tian!
"The Great Compassionate Thousand-Leaf Hand!"
Ku He let out a low shout, and with a flick of his wrists, countless palm shadows appeared out of thin air! Each palm shadow was as solid as a physical object, carrying a faint golden Buddhist light, as if a thousand-armed Guanyin had descended to the mortal world. Each palm contained a different profound magic seal, some fierce and domineering, some gentle and elusive, some compassionate and enlightening, and some subduing demons!
These hundreds of palm shadows swept towards Ye Tian from all directions, leaving no blind spots. Before the palm force even arrived, a terrifying pressure, both grand and compassionate yet irresistible, seemingly capable of purifying all the sins in the world, had already completely enveloped Ye Tian!
This is the ultimate technique that Ku He has been famous for decades. It combines the supreme palm techniques of Buddhism with the essence of the Heavenly Dao, making it extremely powerful and unpredictable!
Faced with this overwhelming barrage of palm strikes, like a net stretching across the sky with no way to avoid it, Ye Tian showed no sign of panic. He didn't even lift his eyelids, only remaining calm just as the boundless Buddhist light was about to engulf him—
Moved!
He simply met the palm force that seemed capable of crushing and purifying everything with a light, effortless punch!
There was no Buddha's light shining everywhere, no Daoist essence flowing, only pure to the extreme, domineering to the extreme, an absolute power that seemed capable of tearing the sky apart, shattering the earth, and destroying the stars!
"boom--!!!!"
A deafening roar, like thunder from the heavens, exploded in everyone's ears!
Ye Tian's seemingly casual punch collided fiercely with Ku He's countless palm shadows!
There was no stalemate as expected, and no anticipated clash of energies.
Wherever Ye Tian's fist passed, those golden, profound Buddhist palm shadows melted away instantly, like snow under the sun! They shattered inch by inch! Utterly vulnerable!
Immediately afterwards, an even more terrifying, domineering, and pure force, like a bursting dam, rebounded unstoppably!
"puff--!"
Master Kuhe felt an indescribable, terrifying force slamming into his body through his palms! His chest felt as if it had been struck by a giant hammer, his protective inner energy was instantly torn apart, and his internal organs seemed to have shifted at that moment! He suddenly spat out a mouthful of golden blood, which even contained some fragments of internal organs!
His gaunt figure, like a kite with a broken string, uncontrollably staggered backward more than a dozen steps, each step leaving a deep footprint several inches deep in the hard bluestone ground! Dust billowed and gravel flew everywhere!
one move!
Just one move!
Master Kuhe, the pillar of the Northern Qi Dynasty and one of the four grandmasters, who had cultivated diligently for decades and had long since integrated Buddhism and martial arts, was actually seriously injured by Ye Tian's seemingly casual punch!
"This, this, how is this possible?!"
At this moment, the eyes of all the spectators almost popped out of their sockets! Their hearts felt as if they were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, almost stopping their beating!
Zhan Doudou's already pale face turned even whiter, like sheet paper! Looking at Master Kuhe, who was coughing up blood and staggering backward, the last glimmer of hope in her eyes flickered like a candle in the wind, almost extinguished! She felt dizzy, her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground with a thud. An uncontrollable warm current instantly soaked the hem of her dragon robe. She, the Empress of Northern Qi, had been so terrified by this unimaginable reality that she had literally wet herself!
