Chapter 949: Monks
Sage didnt want to waste any time, or establish some false rapport between the two of them. He brought out the token hed got from Guan Zhenyan, Venerable Surari. I am here as a representative of the Dream Dealer. Im afraid Im here to collect some things for him.
The large mans eyes snapped open wide and stared at the token in Sages hands. Then the mans eyes closed again and the sudden dangerous feel to his aura disappeared. With just the flash of his eyes, Sage felt threatened. Suraris aura impacted his mind, altering how he reacted. Suraru thumbed a few more of the beads he was holding. The mans large frame meant the beads were the same size as golf balls, slowly moving them through his fingers as he uttered another chant.
Amitabha. Attachments of the past always attempt to latch back onto you.
Surari reached into the front of his kasaya and pulled out a small golden ring hanging from a strap around his neck.
I am ready to pay the Dream Dealer what I promised him so long ago, but it is very valuable and I do not wish to disrupt our karma by allowing it to be stolen. If I am to trust you with it, then you must prove your capability. If you are not skilled enough, then you would not be worthy of working for the Dream Dealer.
Sage was slightly surprised by the way this had gone. Wasnt this guy just refusing to pay like Voctem? Surari was just more tactful about the whole thing: If you cant beat me, then Im not going to pay you. Sage sighed, You owe the Dream Dealer and Im here to collect for him. Once the payment is transferred to my hands your obligation will vanish.
Most Nascent Souls would have died to Venerable Suraris casual sneak attack, but Sage was not like the majority of Cultivators. He had the powerful physique of a Demonic Beast and had even improved it with the liquid metal mineral body and then tempering it with the Violent Sun Body Instruction. Sage had already known this move was coming, but hed decided not to avoid it in the hopes of intimidating Surari.
Quite a move. I dont suppose that has convinced you? Do you think the Dream Dealer would employ a weakling?
Sage did not enjoy tooting Guan Zhenyans horn, but it seemed the man had quite a reputation around here and he was attempting to flaunt it a bit to get the job over with. Unfortunately, it seemed his act had the opposite effect. Venerable Surari suddenly smiled and slapped his palms together. At that instant of contact all the skin on his body took on a golden hue. Not just a shade, but a full metallic tinting. Suraris skin turned to gold, shimmering in the light and somehow bending and flexing like flesh. Then the man pulled in his arms and pushed over the folds of his kasaya, shedding the garment off his upper body. The many folds of cloth gathered around the mans waist, revealing statuesque muscles made of shimmering gold.
Seeing this provocation, Sage also tore off his outer layer of robes and rushed forward. The Jade Mantle appeared around his body to match off against the monks golden skin. He saw the exact trajectory of Suraris punch and threw his own to match it. Their fists met with terrifying force and the whole area rang out with a loud clanging noise. The ground beneath them was metallic and released a hollow ringing sound, but it was not nearly as loud as the intense clank that came from Sages Jade Mantle knocking against Suraris golden fist.
The two of them stared at each other and their linked knuckles. Then they suddenly shot into motion again. That first punch was followed up by a dozen more, their fists met again and again. Sage didnt back down and with Foresight, he could see the trajectory of every punch, meeting it exactly to match force with force. The arena they were in suddenly sounded like a blacksmiths foundry. Suraris expressionless face started to slowly shift. He varied the timing between his punches, not following any rhythm or pattern, but still he was countered by Sages fists. He even altered the speed the punches moved as they were in flight, yet still Sage was able to exactly match the speed and direction, countering each punch head on with his own fists.
Suraris all-out offense slowly shifted to a more measured style. Instead of caring only about making his fists connect with Sages body, he started to use more feints to try and mis-direct Sages defense. The monks face grew further enraged when he found out that none of his attempts at mis-direction did anything at all. Sage seemed to know exactly when he was going to actually throw a punch and which of his motions were just fakes. Then the two of them slammed their shoulders together in an identical charging motion and suddenly came to a stop again.
