Chapter 656: Sweeping Away
The moment Liang Province’s barrier shattered, the cultivators of the seven allied nations swarmed in!
The Great Yan cultivators went their separate ways as agreed.
Unlike the four nations in Lou Lan, there were more elites from the seven nations. Each of the seven nations had several Seven-leaf and Eight-leaf elites.
It was just as Jiang Aijian had said. The seven nations were putting everything they had into this attack. Therefore, it was only normal that they had such crus.h.i.+ng power.
The Great Yan cultivators formed four phalanxes and engaged their enemies in battle while the others retreated as planned. They retreated as they fought.
Meanwhile, orders were given from the seven flying chariots.
“Don’t hold back. Let’s end this as quickly as we can. Don’t give them any chance to retreat. Take them down. Even if the reinforcements from the Divine Capital are here, they can’t do anything about this!”
“Alright! Send an Eight-leaf cultivator from each side and focus on breaching their defenses.”
Then, the seven elites left the flying chariots and summoned their avatars. Seven beast avatars without lotuses lunged at the Great Yan cultivators alongside the seven great elites.
From afar, it seemed as though gigantic beasts were diving into the crowd!
Boom!
Under the avatars’ attacks, Jiang Aijian, Li Jingyi, and the group of people with them were pushed back and reeled from the impact. Several cultivators could not withstand the attack of an Eight-leaf cultivator spat out blood and plummeted.
Si Wuya looked at Jiang Aijian.
“Can you do it or not?”
“Sure!” Jiang Aijian brandished Dragonsong. Countless energy swords shot toward the tiger king avatar.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Meanwhile, the other six avatars lunged at the others as well.
“Retreat!”
Two of the avatars charged at Zhu Honggong.
Zhu Honggong circulated all of his Primal Qi and condensed it into energy. It resonated with his zen tunic. Then, energy fists materialized on his hands.
When he saw this, Zhu Tianyuan frowned. “Son, look out…”
“I won’t dodge. If I dodge… What would happen to the people behind me?”
Zhu Tianyuan said, “Nice! You really are my son! Because of your words, I’ll give it my all today!”
Whizz!
An energy resonance that was clearly different from the others resounded in the surroundings.
A 100-foot avatar materialized before them. An Eight-leaf golden lotus shone with golden radiance. As soon as it appeared, it flew in front of Zhu Honggong.
Boom!
The lion king avatar pounced on Zhu Tianyuan’s avatar.
A wave of energy rippled out.
The other cultivators who came charging were pushed back from the energy.
Zhu Tianyuan had blocked two great elites on his own!
Zhu Honggong was excited when he saw this. “That’s awesome!”
Zhu Tianyuan wiped away the sweat from his face and said, “This is nothing. I have many more skills up my sleeves! Watch carefully!” He turned the back of his Eight-leaf avatar toward the Other Tribesmen and planted himself in front of Zhu Honggong!
The 100-foot avatar spun in the air. An avatar could be used as a powerful defense and as a weapon. This was especially true when facing low-rank cultivators.
The others were stunned by this scene.
The Other Tribesmen cultivators who swarmed toward them were sent flying by the spinning avatar!
“It can be used like that?” Zhu Honggong was extremely shocked.
“A senior is a senior, after all. His combat experience isn’t something that the younger generation can compare to.”
The others were relieved.
The power of an avatar was terrifying. However, avatars were also p.r.o.ne to damage. When the avatar was damaged, it would often translate to the cultivator as well. Avatars had to guard against cultivators with heaven-grade weapons.
The seven great elites of the Other Tribes were not without their own special techniques. The seven of them exchanged a meaningful look before they attacked Zhu Tianyuan at the same time.
When Huang s.h.i.+jie lost his target, he cried out, “Zhu Tianyuan, fall back!”
Zhu Tianyuan realized the precarious situation he was in as well. He wanted to retract his avatar, but the seven elites were coming at him from different directions.
A huge energy saber formed in the air. Clearly, it was a weapon that could pierce through energy!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Three of them reached Zhu Tianyun first.
Zhu Tianyuan staggered backward and grunted.
A cultivator with a sharp blade expanded his energy saber to take down Zhu Tianyun’s avatar with a strike.
“Die!” The cultivator raised his huge energy saber with both hands and brought it down with all his might.
“This is bad!”
“Dad!”
Bam!
Zhu Tianyuan reeled as he spat out a mouthful of blood!
Zhu Honggong’s eyes widened, and his heart trembled.
“Senior Zhu!” The others exclaimed in shock.
The Other Tribesmen elite with the blade looked down and said in surprise, “You’re still alive? If one slash won’t do, I’ll slash you twice! Let’s see how long you’ll last!”
After the Other Tribesmen finished speaking, he raised his energy saber again! The energy saber was several times more powerful than before!
At the final moment, a blinding light shot forth in a terrifying manner from Liang Province’s western gate.
“What’s that?”
“What a powerful aura!”
The unique grand technique attracted everyone’s attention.
The speed was so fast that everyone could only see a streak of light. In just a split second, it covered several thousand meters. When they blinked again, the streak of light had already entered Liang Province City.
“Grand technique?”
“Are my eyes deceiving me?”
“This is bad! Great Yan is done for!”
When the Great Yan cultivators saw this, they thought a more powerful Other Tribesmen elite had arrived. Their hearts sank, and their faces were ashen.
When Si Wuya saw the streak of light, his expression soured. He had used all his heart and strength to defend Liang Province for so long, but he was crushed in the face of absolute strength. He could tell the newcomer was a Nine-leaf cultivator!
The Other Tribesmen elites from the seven allied nations merely felt a flash of powerful Primal Qi.
Meanwhile, the elite raised the huge energy saber with both hands, prepared to bring it down on Zhu Tianyuan. All of a sudden, his visions blurred as a golden light shone on him.
Boom!
“Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 1,500 merit points.”
The air stilled.
The battle ended.
The cultivators of Great Yan and the Other Tribes looked at the new avatar. In the avatar, they saw an old man with the air of an immortal. The old man’s figure and indifferent expression were familiar.
“Master?!”
“Pavilion Master?!”
“Senior Ji!”
The Great Yan cultivators and the Nether Sect disciples were overjoyed! The moment they saw Lu Zhou, they felt as though they had seen their savior. All of their efforts, resistance, and persistence paid off at this moment.
The greatest expert in Great Yan, the Evil Sky Pavilion’s Patriarch, had arrived!
“Welcome back, Patriarch!”
“Welcome back, master!”
Lu Zhou ignored the joyous greetings. He had been keeping his eyes trained on the countdown timer. He was pleased with the time it took him to travel to Liang Province with his grand technique. It only took him ten minutes. He had three to four minutes left. Without the presence of another Nine-leaf cultivator, this was more than enough time for him.
Jiang Wenxu, who was captured by Lu Zhou, had lost the ability to think. After all, he had seen how Lu Zhou had maintained his avatar and constantly cast his grand technique as they traveled all the way here. In the red lotus domain, was there anyone capable of this feat?
An explanation appeared in Jiang Wenxu’s mind at this moment. Lu Zhou must be a Ten-leaf elite who deliberately hid his cultivation base to appear weak. Was Lu Zhou the true boss of this world?
As the saying went, ‘If you stare into an abyss for too long, the abyss would eventually stare back at you’.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhou did not care about what Jiang Wenxu thought. Instead, he looked at the seven flying chariots indifferently. He moved swiftly…
Boom!
A flying chariot fell. At the same time, hundreds of cultivators were sent flying. They either died or were gravely injured.
“Fall back! Retreat at once!”
“Wah! This is the devil himself!”
“Where’s the Royal Tutor? He’s a big fat liar!”
Boom!
Lu Zhou moved swiftly again. The second flying chariot was destroyed.
To the cultivators present, the Nine-leaf avatar was like a tall and towering mountain!
As Lu Zhou destroyed the flying chariots, his Nine-leaf avatar released countless energy swords!
The energy swords covered the entire Liang Province City and stabbed the enemy cultivators as though they were flies!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After several swift movements from Lu Zhou, the seven flying chariots were completely destroyed.
“Ding! Killed 25 Nascent Divinity realm targets, reward: 25,000 merit points. Killed 350 Divine Court targets, reward: 3,500 merit points. The others yield no reward.”
The six remaining elites were scared out of their wits. They summoned their avatars and fled!
The seven nations were now in a complete mess!
A lion king avatar shot up to the walls of Liang Province City amidst the chaos. He retracted his avatar and thought n.o.body had noticed him. Just when he was about to escape, the 150-foot avatar sent a palm seal his way. It was the Buddhist Great Vajra Wheel Hand Sign!
Bam!
The palm seal was not huge, but it was swift and deadly. It landed on his chest with great force. He lowered his head and stared at the hole on his chest. “This…”
“Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 1,500 merit points.”
