Chapter 949: The Invincible Old Man
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
‘Disciple?’ Lian Xing’s heart trembled when she heard the old man’s angry words. Her eyes widened in shock as she looked at the old man who was hovering in the air. Just one of his palm strikes severely injured her and destroyed one of her Birth Charts.
Boom!
Before Lian Xing landed on the ground, she tried to erect her protective energy. Alas, the supreme mystic power was not something she could resist. She crashed heavily onto the ground.
Lu Zhou no longer looked at Lian Xing. He would not show mercy even if she was a beautiful woman.
Meanwhile, the blackguard whose Birth Palace Lu Zhou had destroyed spat out a mouthful of blood as his life slowly leaked from his body. His eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with fear as he looked at the solemn old man in the sky. He tried and failed to mobilize his vitality energy.. As time pa.s.sed, he slowly began to lose his consciousness. He had turned numb under the torture of the energy and the strong wind. With his last remaining consciousness, he looked at the old man and wondered, ‘Am I going to die?’
With death looming ahead of him, the blackguard was filled with helplessness and despair. His call for help did not even attract his captain’s attention. His face was ashen as his eyelids grew heavier and heavier. After a moment, his eyes closed, and the world went dark for him.
“Ding! Destroyed two Birth Charts. Reward: 12,000 merit points.”
“Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 8,000 merit points. Domain bonus: 2,000 merit points.”
“Ding! Destroyed one Birth Chart. Reward: 6,000 merit points.”
These notifications were all within Lu Zhou’s expectations. He had hurriedly destroyed the blackguard’s Birth Palace after destroying his two Birth Charts to conserve his energy. As for the other 6,000 merit points, he had gained from destroying Lian Xing’s Birth Chart.
Lu Zhou continued to stroke his beard indifferently as he looked at the two towering formation flags in front of him and the two trapped whiteguards. After that, he s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Wu Chao and Teng Yizhou who were engaged in a fierce battle at this moment.
Lu Zhou’s ‘You dare touch my disciple? Are you tired of living?’ was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present earlier.
Boom!
Wu Chao and Teng Yizhou who fought for a day and a night finally separated before they faced each other from afar. They turned to look at the old man who was hovering not far away.
Lu Zhou looked at them with a burning gaze.
Wu Chao’s eyes darted around before they finally stopped on Zhao Yue who was riding Di Jiang in the distant horizon. His expression at this moment was rather unsightly as he cursed loudly, “Tras.h.!.+”
The two blackguards were given such a good opportunity to bring Zhao Yue to the runic pa.s.sage, but they failed! How could he not be angry when he saw Zhao Yue safe and sound?
On the contrary, Teng Yizhou laughed. “The fisherman benefits from the struggle between the snipefish and clam… Wu Chao, you have this day as well…”
Wu Chao looked at the two whiteguards that were trapped by the Eight Desolate and Six Harmony flags before he realized one of the blackguards was missing. At the same time, he suddenly recalled the heart-wrenching ‘Captain! Save me!’ he had heard earlier.
Similarly, Teng Yizhou also discovered Lian Xing’s absence.
The duo’s expressions turned grim immediately as they looked at Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou continued to stroke his beard and asked, “Have you fought enough?”
“Who are you?” Wu Chao asked coldly.
“When you’re done, come over and kowtow to confess your crimes,” Lu Zhou said faintly.
“…”
The duo was stunned by Lu Zhou’s arrogant words.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yue, who was far away on Di Jiang’s back, gradually regained her senses from the collisions between the black lotus and white lotus cultivators. Despite the black hair, she was familiar with that figure.
“Master?” Zhao Yue straightened her back and tried to use her weak cultivation base to stabilize herself.
“This…” She patted Di Jiang’s back.
Quack! Quack! Quack! Quack! Quack!
Di Jiang seemed happy that Zhao Yue had regained her senses.
Di Jiang’s loud cries immediately attracted everyone’s attention, including Lu Zhou.
Upon seeing her master looking at her, she bowed. “This disciple greets master.”
Wu Chao exclaimed in surprise, “You’re her master?”
Lu Zhou was puzzled. “Why? Don’t I look like her master?”
“Do you think I’ll fall for the same trick?” Wu Chao, naturally, did not believe Lu Zhou was Zhao Yue after being tricked.
Lu Zhou said indifferently, “It doesn’t matter what you think. If I say I’m her master, then I’m her master.”
Lu Zhou was unaware that these people had all fallen into Si Wuya’s scheme.
Wu Chao smiled and said, “Being her master is a death sentence.”
Lu Zhou sized Wu Chao up with a slight hint of disdain before he said, “What? With just you alone, you think you can kill me?”
When Wu Chao recalled the praises he had heard about Zhao Yue’s master, his fighting spirit soared. “The people in Great Yan’s Divine Capital can’t stop singing your praises, and they claim you’re invincible…”
Lu Zhou remained silent. He was not surprised by these words. After all, he had revolutionized the golden lotus domain. It was only normal for him to have many fans!
Wu Chao turned around and looked at Teng Yizhou. “Teng Yizhou, since our people are injured. Why don’t both of us stop for a while?”
Teng Yizhou nodded as he looked at Lu Zhou. “That’s my intention as well.”
Wu Chao raised his hand and put the Eight Desolate and Six Harmony flags away.
The two whiteguards and the blackguard stood fighting and looked around wearily.
Wu Chao asked, “Do you want to go first or should I go first?”
Teng Yizhou said, “We’ll send a person each.”
“Okay.”
Both of them waved their hands.
One of the whiteguards and the remaining blackguard looked at their respective captains before they s.h.i.+fted their gaze to Lu Zhou who was still stroking his beard indifferently. In just a moment, both of them moved at lightning speed and began to attack with energy seals.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Yue cried out worriedly, “Master, be careful!”
Squawk!
Di Jiang cried out somewhat lazily, clearly not worried at all. It flapped its wings and flew back and forth.
Zhao Yue held her breath as she watched the black lotus cultivator and the white lotus cultivator shoot toward Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou did not dodge at all. He raised his hand, and a golden astrolabe with a diameter of a few meters appeared in front of him.
Boom! Boom!
The blackguard and the whiteguard crashed into the golden astrolabe.
“A Thousand Realms Whirling expert!” Wu Chao and Teng Yizhou exclaimed in unison.
At this moment, Lu Zhou casually pushed his hand out.
The blackguard and the whiteguard instantly felt a huge energy pus.h.i.+ng back against them. A huge wave of energy swept out, shaking the earth and the mountains. Just like that, both of them were sent flying.
Lu Zhou moved forward at the speed of light. The special ability from his fourth Birth Chart was on full display. He arrived between the two guards in just a blink of an eye and slammed his hands against their chests simultaneously, unleas.h.i.+ng the Great Fearlessness Seal.
The two guards fell from the sky immediately as though they had been struck down by lightning. At the same time, both of them began to spit out blood.
“Ding! Destroyed a Birth Chart. Reward: 6,000 merit points.”
“Ding! Destroyed a Birth Chart. Reward: 6,000 merit points.”
It was easy for Lu Zhou to fight against the two guards.
“This speed…”
Meanwhile, Wu Chao and Teng Yizhou began to realize the severity of the problem when they saw Lu Zhou’s speed.
It was easy for one to fight against two.
After familiarizing himself with the supreme mystic power, Lu Zhou’s control over it was very good. After he obtained Di Jiang’s speed, he learned to use his speed and cultivation to create the suitable time for him to defeat his opponent in one fell swoop using the supreme mystic power. He would use minimal supreme mystic power but maximize its value.
The two guards had already lost a Birth Chart each. With this, the gap between their strength and Lu Zhou’s strength widened even more.
Teng Yizhou ordered, “Kill him.”
“Yes.” The remaining whiteguard rushed out. He was much more cautious after watching his comrade and manifested his Thousand Realms Whirling avatar immediately. The astrolabe spun and shone brightly. He looked as though he was lit by the sun from the back.
Lu Zhou’s expression did not change. He seemed to have vanished into thin air before he reappeared behind the black Thousand Realms Whirling avatar. He wielded Unnamed in the form of a sword and launched a hundred-meter-long energy sword at the avatar.
The Heavenly Writing’s power of past lives!
The whiteguard let out a blood-curdling scream as he looked at Lu Zhou in fear.
After the energy sword cleaved the whiteguard’s Birth Palace, it slashed across his chest. The energy sword’s momentum carried it forward before it finally landed on the ground with a loud boom, creating a long trench.
“Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 8,000 merit points. Domain bonus: 2,000 merit points.”
“…”
Just one move? This battle ended without any suspense at all.
Teng Yizhou and Wu Chao inhaled sharply. A Three Chart Thousand Realms Whirling expert was killed with just one move?
Lu Zhou decided to kill the whiteguard with one strike because the supreme mystic power was not inexhaustible. So far, he had already killed two people and destroyed five Birth Charts, using up one-third of the supreme mystic power. There were another two powerful captains whom he needed to deal with.
Lu Zhou looked at Wu Chao and Teng Yizhou as he said domineeringly, “Do you still dare to arrogantly before me?”
