Chapter 1104: The Real Master
The sea breeze blew over, bringing with them a cooling and refres.h.i.+ng sensation. It was completely different from the lava cave in the valley. After being roasted at such a high temperature for such a long time, Lu Zhou found the sea breeze very pleasing.
Zhu Honggong rubbed his eyes before he looked at Dang Kang and stiffly called out, “Dang Kang.”
Dang Kang showed no signs of going over to Zhu Honggong at all.
“Heh… I raised you so well despite the difficulties, but you turned out to be a traitor! Is it because I’m not as handsome as him?” Zhu Honggong was so angry that he rushed toward Dang Kang.
When Zhu Honggong was thirty meters away and still in the air, Lu Zhou raised his hand.
“Fiend Monk’s Hand Seal.”
The palm seal that spanned dozens of feet appeared in front of Zhu Honggong.
Zhu Honggong shuddered, but he hardened his nerves and said, “Look at my avatar!”
Buzz!
As soon as the lotus-less Eleven-leaf golden avatar appeared, the Fiend Monk’s Hand Seal suddenly flashed with a blue light.
Swoos.h.!.+
The palm seal moved and grabbed the chubby avatar with its five fingers and smacked it down.
Boom!
The avatar fell to the ground.
Following that, the Fiend Monk’s Hand Seal grabbed Zhu Honggong as well. He struggled and screamed miserably, “Let me go! Let me go!”
Alas, no matter how hard Zhu Honggong struggled, he could break free from the shackles of the Fiend Monk’s Hand Seal. With the realization that there was nothing he could do, he cried out desperately, “Old Lu, what are you waiting for? Save me!”
Lu Li dove from the sky and pushed his palm down.
Lu Zhou calmly raised his right hand, palm facing upward.
Boom!
When the two palms met, a huge force rippled out, leaving a trench on the ground.
Lu Zhou increased his vitality energy slightly.
Lu Li suddenly felt a surge of energy in his palm. He hurriedly flew back hundreds of meters, sensing something was amiss. Then, he looked at Lu Zhou in horror.
Zhu Honggong. “…”
Lu Zhou turned around and looked at Zhu Honggong. “Is that all you can do?”
‘This voice, this tone… All the unbearable memories they bring with them!’ Zhu Honggong was very irritated. He said indignantly, “I hate it the most when people imitate my master! Take this punch!”
Zhu Honggong stomped on the ground and shot out like an arrow. Then, he launched his energy fists at Lu Zhou.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Lu Zhou advanced at a leisurely pace and kept sending out palm seals to deflect Zhu Honggong’s energy fists.
After several hundred consecutive attacks, Zhu Honggong suddenly retreated 100 meters along the sh.o.r.e. Then, he raised his head and said with a smile, “Look behind you!”
Lu Zhou did not look behind him; his eyes were trained on Zhu Honggong.
At this time, eleven leaves shot toward Lu Zhou’s back.
“Golden Buddha’s Body.”
The Golden Buddha’s Body was the same height as Lu Zhou’s avatar.
The eleven leaves were easily blocked by the Golden Buddha’s Body.
Lu Li frowned as he looked at the Golden Buddha’s Body. “He’s a Buddhist Master. Let’s go!”
The 11-leaf golden hoop was blocked by the golden body.
“Okay!” Zhu Honggong hurriedly withdrew his eleven leaves and turned to flee.
Lu Zhou pushed his left hand out.
Bang!
The Great Seal of Fearlessness landed on Zhu Honggong’s back, sending him falling to the ground.
Lu Zhou put away his Golden Buddha’s Body before he looked at Zhu Honggong and said, “Just because you’ve sprouted eleven leaves, you’ve grown arrogant. Impudent!”
Zhu Honggong felt the impostor in front of him was really good. If he did not look at the impostor and just listened to the impostor’s voice, he would not be able to tell the difference.
At this time, Lu Li rushed down and helped Zhu Honggong up. He knew they were no match for the young man in front of them. Seeing the other party did not strike with the intention to kill, he tried to reason with the young man. “We have no enmity with you. Why are you making things difficult for us?”
Lu Zhou sized Lu Li up before he said, “Your cultivation base hasn’t recovered…”
Lu Li was shocked. ‘How could he tell?’
At this moment, the cultivators who were watching in the air rushed over to Lu Zhou. After they landed, they said respectfully and pointed into the distance, “Senior, let’s go! The black lotus cultivators are here!”
“Black lotus cultivators?” Lu Li turned around and looked into the distance. Following the direction that person was pointing at, he saw about 50 black-clad cultivators rus.h.i.+ng over with long halberd and formation flags in their hands. At first glance, they looked like the Grim Reaper; it was a chilling sight. He said in surprise, “The Black Tower Council?”
Zhu Honggong raised his eyebrows and cried out excitedly, “Great, we’re on the same side!”
Lu Li said, “No, something’s strange. Why would the Black Tower Council come here?”
While the duo was talking, the nearly 50 black-clad cultivators landed and surrounded Lu Zhou, Zhu Honggong, Lu Li, and the other red lotus cultivators.
The black-clad cultivator standing at the lead looked at the trio and said, “The Black Tower Council is here. All cultivators at the Thousand Realms Whirling stage, come with us.”
Lu Zhou raised his head and glanced at the people from the Black Tower Council. At least half of them were blackguards, and there were two judges. Even the Fourth Elder, Lu Si, was here.
Lu Li said in a clear voice, “I’m Lu Li, a member of the Black Tower Council. We’re on the same side.”
The Fourth Elder, Lu Si, replied, “Lu Li, you traitor. After so many years, you dare to show yourself? Take him down!”
Six blackguards rushed out as fast as lightning, restraining Lu Li and Lu Zhou.
Lu Li frowned and said, “I ran into some things and couldn’t come back. I didn’t betray the Black Tower Council. I hope you can understand, Elder Lu.”
“You can explain yourself when we return,” Lu Si said.
Zhu Honggong muttered to himself, “It’s over, it’s over, it’s over…”
Lu Si turned to Lu Zhou and said, “You, come along.”
Lu Zhou raised his head and swept his gaze across the crowd before he said, “It seems like the lesson I taught you previously isn’t enough…”
“Huh? War is dawning on us. I have no choice. Please forgive me, sir,” Lu Si said dismissively before he waved his hand and ordered, “Take them away!”
Two black-clad cultivators flew toward Lu Zhou. As soon as they arrived in front of him, he struck with two hands at lightning speed.
Bang! Bang!
The two black-clad cultivators felt their arms go numb as they were sent flying back.
The black-clad
“The era of war has already begun. I have no other choice. Please forgive me, sir.”Lu Si waved his hand. “Take them all.”
Lu Si frowned. The bare-chested cultivator was quite strong. He said, “Young man, it’s best to keep a low profile when doing things…” He waved his hand again.
This time, ten blackguards swooped down, forming a semi-circle around Lu Zhou.
At the same time, Lu Zhou silently chanted the mantra for the Heavenly Writing Power.
To gain the power of speech recognition, even about the unspeakable truths, and understand the words spoken by the tongues of the beings in the different worlds
“Scram.”
With Lu Zhou in the center, the thunderous soundwave rippled out in all directions and pierced the heavens.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Lu Li, Zhu Honggong, and Dang Kang were sent flying without exception.
Zhu Honggong’s head buzzed, and his eardrums hurt. He thought it was over for him. How could the impostor even imitate his master’s ultimate move?
With Lu Zhou as the center, the thunderous sound waves of the nine heavens radiated in all directions.
Needless to say, the blackguards were all sent flying as well.
After pa.s.sing the Birth Trial, the power of speech recognition that was boosted with the supreme mystic power was much stronger than before.
The blackguards that took the brunt of the attack felt their blood and Qi surged. Five or six of them who were weaker even threw up blood as they flew back.
Lu Si, the Fourth Elder of the Black Tower Council, and the others erected a barrier to block the soundwave.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
One by one, all of them fell to the ground as well.
Only Lu Si and a few others remained standing, but they were no better than the others since they were on the verge of collapsing as well.
‘Just one move is so powerful?’
Zhu Honggong and Lu Li looked at the s.h.i.+rtless young man in shock.
At the same time, the young man’s hair turned white at a speed visible to naked eyes. At the same time, his smooth skins were carved with lines by the pa.s.sage of time. His long white hair fluttered in the air; his beard and eyebrows were white as well; his eyes were deep and knowing as he looked at everyone. Soon enough, Lu Zhou’s wizened face and sage-like appearance appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Lu Zhou had no choice but to use a Disguise Card; there were too many idiots around him.
Zhu Honggong was dumbfounded.
The people from the Black Tower were even more dumbfounded. When they regained their senses, the scene where the members of the Black Tower Council lost their Birth Charts at the same time flashed in their minds.
Lu Si hurriedly ordered his men, “Descend!”
The members of the Black Tower Council descended in unison.
Lu Si held his robes up before he rushed over in a panic; he did not dare to use his Primal Qi at all and only ran like a non-cultivator. When he arrived in front of Lu Zhou, he kneeled on one knee and cupped his hands together. “Lu Si greets Pavilion Master Lu!”
Following that, the members of the Black Tower Council kneeled in unison and shouted, “Greeting, Pavilion Master Lu!”
“…”
‘What’s this? Pavilion Master Lu?’ Lu Li frowned, confused. He turned around to check on Zhu Honggong.
At this moment, Zhu Honggong silently stood up, straightened his robes, joined his palms together, and kneeled down again. Then, he prostrated himself and said in a clear voice, “Disciple greets master!”
Lu Li was shocked again when he saw Zhu Honggong prostrating. Humans were strange creatures with a herd mentality. When he looked around him, he saw everyone kneeling on the ground, he instinctively kneeled on the ground as well. Herd mentality aside, even Lu Si who was stronger than him was kneeling, how could he remain standing?
Needless to say, even the red lotus cultivators had long fallen to their knees as well.
