The lamas surrounding the carriage were all affected by the aftershocks, and were knocked down by the shockwaves. Many of them were even injured by the shockwaves and lay on the ground crying out in pain.
Xiao Ning made a move and immediately closed in on Phagpa, pressing his advantage relentlessly. Once close, he unleashed a barrage of Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms strikes at Phagpa.
Phagpa sat cross-legged on the carriage, unmoved, yet he effortlessly parried all of Xiao Ning's attacks without any strain.
The more Xiao Ning fought, the more alarmed he became. This old monk seemed to be made of a tortoise shell, and his defenses were impossible to break. His strength was unbelievably powerful.
Both of them were martial arts grandmasters, but their strengths were worlds apart. How could anyone fight them?
Xiao Ning hardened his heart and used all his strength, combining the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, and the Lingbo Steps. His speed was so fast that it even created a phantom.
Terrifying energy rippled across the sky, sending sand and stones flying, and cracking the earth in pieces. Within a ten-mile radius of the battleground, no one dared to go and risk their lives.
Phagpa on the carriage closed its eyes and, with its powerful mental strength, completely reflected Xiao Ning's whereabouts in its mind. No matter how Xiao Ning changed its position to attack, it could not break through Phagpa's defense.
As expected of a veteran martial arts master, his innate true essence, spiritual cultivation, physical strength, and mental realm have all reached a state of perfection, far surpassing Xiao Ning, who has just entered the master realm.
"This can't go on!"
After making over a hundred moves, Xiao Ning felt a surge of anxiety.
After unleashing another move, "The Dragon Regrets," he tiptoed several feet away, thinking to himself, "This old bald monk is so terrifying. If I don't find a way to kill him, I'm afraid I'll be stuck here today."
"It seems I can't hold back anymore!"
"I'll show you what I'm capable of, you old bald thief!"
"ah!"
Xiao Ning let out a long roar, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body. His dantian area even flashed with a dazzling light, and wisps of elusive energy emanated from his body, slowly condensing into a phantom in mid-air.
"Buzz!"
The moment the phantom completely solidified, it transformed into a gigantic phantom of an ancient elephant.
"Holy crap, what is this?"
"Is this a mythical beast from legends?"
"Don't tell me this is martial arts?"
The moment the phantom of the giant elephant appeared, everyone present was stunned.

Chapter 74 The Death of Phagpa
"roar!"
High in the sky, the phantom of the giant elephant roared to the heavens, its deafening roar echoing throughout the entire capital city.
The enormous phantom of an ancient elephant stretched across the sky, seemingly roaring towards the heavens.
Its power was extremely shocking; the terrifying phantom seemed to possess the ability to suppress all the heavens, making people tremble with fear.
On the battlefield, a sudden gust of wind arose. Xiao Ning's eyes were half-closed, half-open, his full head of black hair danced wildly in the wind, and his blue Taoist robe fluttered in the wind.
"Amitabha Buddha, it's just a fool's game!"
Seeing such a terrifying scene, Phagpa felt a strong sense of unease. He stood up for the first time, but his words were dismissive.
"The Great Seal of Esoteric Buddhism!"
His hands moved swiftly; he extended his right hand and flipped it, revealing an energy handprint the size of a futon, which he then placed down on Xiao Ning.
"Heh heh, a mayfly trying to shake a tree, overestimating its own strength!"
Xiao Ning smiled disdainfully, clenched his right fist, and made a seemingly ordinary horizontal strike in the direction where Phagpa was.
What made Phagpa's heart tremble was that at the same moment Xiao Ning threw his punch, the giant elephant phantom above his head extended its right hoof and stomped heavily down on Phagpa.
"puff!"
A slight tremor sounded as the giant elephant's hoof collided with the Tantric hand seal. After a brief stalemate, the hand seal dissipated like a soap bubble, while the giant elephant's hoof shadow only swayed slightly before returning to normal.
The difference in quality is immediately apparent!
Xiao Ning laughed heartily, and taking advantage of the old lama's momentary daze, he leaped forward, threw a punch, and said, "Old man, take another blow from me!"
The giant elephant's hoof shadow continued to tread towards Phagpa on the carriage.
Phagpa instantly came to his senses, his hands began to form mudras, and he became faster and faster, chanting, "When the flowers bloom, see me!"
Before long, a lifelike white lotus bloomed from Phagpa's palm. It grew rapidly in the wind and soon enveloped Phagpa, looking very beautiful and captivating.
However, beautiful things are often deadly poisons; anyone who becomes immersed in their beauty will be met with deadly danger.
However, Xiao Ning discovered that this giant lotus flower was formed from Phagpa's true energy, and if it were touched even slightly, it would surely be met with his terrifying attack.
Xiao Ning twisted his body and retreated dozens of feet away, then focused his attention on watching.
"boom!"
The elephant's hooves pounded down, like an ancient sacred mountain collapsing and pressing down on Phagpa.
Phagpa looked up and found that the sun's brilliance had been stolen by the phantom of the giant elephant, and all he could see in his field of vision were the elephant's hooves.
This step had no fancy techniques, only absolute power.
