"Fa Hai! You're too cruel! Please, let them go!" Ying'er gasped with all her strength, "Guang Liang! He'll come!" "Hmph! Guang Liang? What's he worth? He can't even protect himself—how could he possibly save anyone else? Hahahaha! I am the true king here!" As Fa Hai spoke, he began to remove his clothes, his face glowing with sensuality, advancing toward this extraordinary first-rank beauty. "Don't come near! Don't! Don't!" Ying'er clutched her chest tightly with both hands, eyes closed, screaming in desperation. "I want you to be my woman! I'm jealous of Guang Liang! He has eight wives—each one a top-tier beauty. As for me, a monk, I've only ever indulged in ordinary, commonplace women. I've never tasted the essence of a truly exceptional goddess. Since you first appeared in my life, I've been captivated by you! But you're so ungrateful! Why not stay with me? After all, I, Fa Hai, am quite generous toward women. Remember when the Green Snake and I shared a timeless, legendary love?" Now, after five thousand lifetimes of reincarnation, I've finally met you! I've fallen at your feet, captivated by your crimson silk gown! You've granted me this blessing—I will surely become a true man! As he spoke with growing passion, he began to move his hands and body toward Ying'er. Urged to her limits, Ying'er cried out, fiercely rebuking him: "Fahai! You're base! You're shameless! I am the wife of Gao Liang, and this is sworn by heaven and earth! Don't harbor any ill intentions! In my heart, Gao Liang is my only man—my heart is full of him, completely full, and I cannot hold room for anyone else!" Since her marriage to Gao Liang was granted by the Heavenly Emperor in the heavenly realm, Ying'er has remained steadfastly devoted to his love. Fahai could never have imagined such unwavering loyalty from Ying'er, and thus he was furious. It seemed that soft approaches would no longer suffice—he would now have to resort to firm measures. A forcibly twisted melon may not be sweet, but if it's not twisted, one may never get the melon at all. For Fahai, this Master Fa has many magical techniques. Besides poison needles, incantations, Buddhist beads, and bowls, he possesses another special weapon tailored for women—striking the wooden fish. Originally, the wooden fish was used by monks during meditation and Zen practice, but Master Fa, this old romantic, made a subtle improvement: he infused the sedative essence into the wooden fish. With each strike, the essence disperses, carried by the sound of the fish’s rhythm. Soon, the sedative fills the highest tower of the temple, and Ying'er inhales it, suddenly falling into a state of rapture. She experiences vivid hallucinations and hears a voice repeating, "I am Gao Liang! I am Gao Liang!" As she gazes around, she sees Master Fa gradually transforming into Gao Liang—her husband! Her husband! Ying'er is overwhelmed with excitement, completely mistaking Master Fa for her husband. Master Fa's cunning, seductive smile now blooms upon his otherwise unattractive face. He begins to imagine the scene of his beloved, a first-class beauty, lying on the bed, surrendering to his attentions—oh, what bliss! What bliss! Hou Hai was gasping, the chickens were flapping, just as when a wild beast charged toward Ying'er, a strong, broad hand suddenly lifted him from behind—like an eagle grabbing a chick. Then, with a powerful heave, a sharp *crack* rang out as Hou Hai collided with a large stone bell at the top of the tower. The long hand of the bell precisely struck Hou Hai's head, causing him to bleed profusely and cry out in agony. Looking around, it was Gao Liang! Gao Liang hadn't been bound by the Buddhist beads, had he? How could he be so unharmed now? Gao Liang then displayed a series of keys, leaving Hou Hai stunned: "Gao Liang! You've found the very key to unlock the Supreme King's Lock—the most powerful locking mechanism in the entire universe! I've been searching for it for five thousand years, with no trace of you! It's impossible! It's impossible!" Gao Liang looked down at Hou Hai with disdain and said: "The more you do wrong, the sooner you will fall. Though your Buddhist beads are powerful, they ultimately cannot overcome righteousness. I was so painfully wounded that "With this series of keys, I am the true master of the Buddha's Lock!" Master Fahai's face turned as pale as ashes. He never expected that Gao Liang, instead of being harmed, had turned his misfortune into fortune. Gao Liang turned to Fahai and shouted angrily, "Anyone who harms my woman shall die!" As he spoke, he launched a Heavenly-Deficient Palm technique from the Shaolin Temple toward Fahai. The moment Gao Liang's palm moved, the sky darkened and the winds and sands surged violently. Fahai quickly lifted his inverted bowl to meet the attack. Boom! Boom! Boom! Three thunderous impacts, and the bowl was pierced with a large hole. Two of his bodyguards, the great guardians, leaped out of the hole, shouting, "Our leader is mighty! Our leader is invincible!" and immediately surrounded Fahai from all sides. Fahai tapped his wooden fish, hoping to confuse the three with his hypnotic powder. But Gao Liang had anticipated this move and kicked the wooden fish aside with a swift foot. All of Fahai's magical arts proved ineffective against Gao Liang. Sweat beaded on Fahai's forehead, clearly indicating that he was no However, Fahuai was cunning. He suddenly surged toward Ying'er, seizing her. Since Ying'er had been struck by Fahuai's mesmerizing flower powder, she mistook him for Gao Liang and cried out, "Gao Liang! Gao Liang!" Yet, the Gao Liang she saw held a curved knife pressed firmly against her neck. Fahuai shouted at Gao Liang, "If you strike one more palm, I'll have her die!" With a slight movement of his hand, Ying'er's face turned pale. Gao Liang was deeply moved, never having imagined Fahuai to be so treacherous. He immediately roared, "Fahuai! Stop! As long as Ying'er remains unharmed, you may go!" At the same time, he gave a subtle signal to his two bodyguards behind Fahuai, who promptly retreated to over a hundred meters away. "Hahaha!" Fahuai, holding Ying'er, moved steadily toward the base of the great pagoda of Fahuai Temple. Soon, they reached the lower level of the pagoda. Fahuai felt immensely satisfied, for now Ying'er was confused and dazed, repeatedly calling out Gao Li And honestly, she really started treating herself like a highlight! What a thrill! Master Fa instantly became aroused, reaching out to tear at Ying'er's skirt. To Ying'er's surprise, she didn't resist at all. Master Fa felt absolutely satisfied, pulling out that annoying member of hers—only to suddenly have a flash of white light erupt, and then a clean cut. "Oh! Oh! Ah! Ah!" Master Fa howled like a pig being slaughtered. The member was completely severed by the blade, spilling blood all over the ground. Stunned, Master Fa clutched the severed member tightly with both hands, blood pouring out uncontrollably, soon forming a large pool on the floor. Looking up, he saw Gaoang—the third of his three close friends—holding a steel knife, now streaked with his own blood. Then he noticed Wei, the awkward one, and Wu, the soft-spoken one, approaching from behind, forming a triangular encirclement around him, completely surrounding him. Wu, with a steady hand, had already, while Fa Hai was shouting, pulled the slightly disoriented Ying to a safe spot. The brothers from Fenghuo Hall were all present—tall, strong, and imposing—and they vowed to protect Ying, the most important woman in their leader's life. Fa Hai could never have imagined that his three close friends, at a crucial moment, had become so strong and resolute. He was furious, hurling a series of poisoned needles at them from various angles. His needles were exceptionally deadly—once struck, they would kill the victim within a single second. The three friends showed no fear, wielding their large battle axes, deflecting the majority of the needles to the ground. However, three needles managed to strike them from the side. Fa Hai smiled coldly, "What I did earlier was just to distract you! The real threat is these three needles! Damn it! I've just had my penis severed! I'm going to make sure you're completely finished!" "At the moment when the three injured friends were in extreme peril and when Fahu was full of confidence and arrogance, a figure plummeted swiftly from the tower, faster than an arrow. 'Heavenly Wound Palm!' High Li roared, pushing both palms simultaneously, directly striking the three poisoned darts. High Li's masterstroke from the Shaolin Temple, amplified to its peak through a top-tier divine ability, unleashed its full power. 'Boom! Boom! Boom!' Three thunderous impacts shook the tower. 'Quick retreat! Quick retreat!' High Li shouted to the three injured friends and the brothers of the Wind and Fire Hall. The brothers immediately obeyed, retreating swiftly toward the outside of the tower. Ying'er had already been escorted to a safe location by the brothers of the Wind and Fire Hall. High Li's Heavenly Wound Palm was truly formidable—he forced the three poisoned darts right up against Fahu. 'Ah! My goodness! My heavens!' Fahu could hardly believe it. The poisoned darts he had meticulously crafted, once hailed as the finest poison in the world, had now pierced his vital organs. 'High Li! I never expected you to be so skilled! You are "Master Fa's face contorted with pain. 'Don't blame me! It was you who forced me to act! You should not have touched my women! Anyone who touches my women shall die!' With these words, High Bright spoke with dignified authority, and Master Fa listened in trembling awe."
