Chapter 1159 - Fighting Lu Wu And Beating Up The Disciple
At this time, Lu Zhou, Ye Tianxin, and Conch arrived at the sh.o.r.e of the island in the middle of the lake.
Ye Tianxin asked doubtfully, "Master, how many domains are there?"
Lu Zhou clasped his hands on his back and said, "If my speculation is correct, not counting the Great Void and the Unknown Land, there should be nine domains that used to be one."
Conch lifted her hands and began counting with her fingers before she said, "Then, there are still two more we don"t know about?"
"This… Is Little Yuan"er"s behavior contagious?"
"No wonder Jiang Wenxu lied and didn"t allow the golden lotus cultivators to sprout the ninth leaf. The law of the jungle is real. Any one of the domains is a threat to the golden lotus domain…"
Conch said, "Not necessarily. He said something about Equalizers earlier. Perhaps, the fierce beasts are the Equalizers that protect us. The Unknown Land is so vast anyway. Perhaps, it won"t be so easy to travel to other domains…"
Ye Tianxin said, "But we ran into them here…"
Since they ran into Ye Wusheng and Ye Cheng here, it was not impossible for the two domains to meet in the future.
Conch"s mouth twitched, but she did not say anything.
Lu Zhou glanced at Conch before he said with a faint smile on his face, "Lan Xihe is also an Equalizer. Moreover, she"s from the Great Void. The Great Void reigns supreme and can keep the balance in the nine realms…"
Ye Tianxin nodded.
At this moment.
Splas.h.!.+
The lake water splashed up.
The Overlord Spear shot up into the sky as golden dragons wrapped around the spear"s shaft. It was a spectacular sight.
Then, a figure broke the surface of the water. His body was shrouded by purplish-green energy as two purple dragons snaked around his body. His eyes were dark and emitted a dim light.
"Who"s that? Is that Third Senior Brother?"
Lu Zhou flew up and said, "Stay with Cheng Huang."
"Understood."
There was no doubt wherever Lu Wu was, it would definitely be a very dangerous place.
Lu Zhou was surprised. If the figure belonged to Duanmu Sheng, then he must have had a fortuitous encounter to unleash such a powerful force.
…
On the other side of the lake.
Ye Wusheng and Ye Cheng stood under a tree and looked at the island from afar.
"He made a move!"
"Brother Ye... He"s really bold!"
"Let"s wait and see."
Ye Wusheng only guessed that Lu Zhou had around 12 Birth Chats, but he was not completely certain.
…
Lu Zhou arrived near the area that was frozen by Lu Wu at lighting speed. He looked at the figure that had rushed up to the sky and called out, "Duanmu Sheng."
The person who had emerged from the lake and was shrouded in purple energy was none other than his third disciple.
Bang!
Lu Wu suddenly flew up to the sky and smacked Duanmu Sheng back into the water.
Splas.h.!.+
Duanmu Sheng fell back into the water like a stone.
Lu Wu rode on its momentum and continued flying forward. When it opened its eyes slightly, it saw Lu Zhou hovering in the air. It twisted its body immediately and pounced at Lu Zhou.
Primal Qi began to surge.
"It"s… you… human!"
Lu Wu"s claws glinted under the light.
Lu Zhou noticed that the injury on Lu Wu"s left front paw was already more than half-healed. The wounds on its body were almost completely healed as well and could barely be seen. To think a beast emperor"s healing ability was so terrifying.
Lu Zhou launched a few palm seals with both his hands.
Dozens of golden palm seals stood in front of him like mountains, blocking Lu Wu.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
While fighting, Lu Zhou retreated out of Lu Wu"s attack range.
Lu Wu landed and said, "You… actually… found me…"
Lu Zhou"s eyes gleamed with cold killing intent as he said, "Evil creature, I"ll take your life today."
Needless to say, Lu Zhou knew it was impossible for an Eight Chart cultivator to defeat Lu Wu without special means. With a flip of his hand, a Deadly Strike Card appeared.
Lu Wu"s senses were much stronger than humans. As though it could sense Lu Zhou"s killing intent, it instinctively took a step back. After all, one of its hearts had already been destroyed by Lu Zhou; how could it not be afraid?
Lu Wu had as many life hearts as its hearts. In theory, to kill Lu Wu, Lu Zhou would have to destroy all of its hearts. Moreover, he could not disregard its astonis.h.i.+ng healing ability.
For beast kings, even the most extraordinary had two hearts at most. Ordinary beast kings only had one heart. They could not compare to beast emperors who possessed extremely high intelligence and special abilities.
…
When Cheng Huang saw Lu Wu in the sky, it instinctively shrank back.
Ye Tianxin patted its head and said, "Don"t worry, master is here."
Wuu!!!
Ye Tianxin did not understand Cheng Huang so she looked at Conch.
After listening for a moment, Conch said, "Sixth Senior Sister, your Cheng Huang is bragging. He said that he"ll be stronger than Lu Wu in the future!"
Ye Tianxin smiled and patted Chenghuang again.
Chenghuang turned its head and looked at Conch. Just when it looked like it was going to vent its anger, it suddenly lowered its head, showing an aggrieved expression.
Conch chuckled and said, "I"m only joking with you…"
…
Lu Wu stared at Lu Zhou"s hand and said, "Human... Despicable... Shameless... Dirty..."
"?" Lu Zhou frowned. When had he ever been despicable? What did a wild beast know about being despicable?
Lu Zhou flipped his palm.
"Why?" Lu Wu asked.
Lu Zhou said in a clear voice, "In my life, I pursued the pinnacle of cultivation and have been solitary all my life. The only thing I can"t let go of is this group of disciples. You captured my disciple and you dare to ask me why?"
"Your... disciple?" Lu Wu turned around.
"Beasts will be beasts..." Lu Zhou rose into the sky.
At this moment...
Bang!
Duanmu Sheng broke the surface of the water again. He held the Overlord Spear with both hands, and his entire body was shrouded with a purplish-green energy as he charged directly at Lu Zhou. His eyes brimmed with killing intent as he kept muttering, "Kill, kill, kill."
Lu Zhou shouted, "Impudent!"
Lu Zhou raised his hand, and a golden palm seal flew out.
Boom!
It blocked the Overlord Spear.
Duanmu Sheng was incredibly tenacious. He retreated a few dozen meters before he charged forward again.
At this time, Lu Zhou finally understood why he only saw black when he tried to check on Duanmu Sheng. Duanmu Sheng had completely lost his mind, rationality, and loyalty because of the evil energy.
Lu Zhou flashed as he launched dozens of palm seals in the air.
The countless palm seals in the air closed in on Duanmu Sheng.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The palm seals surrounded Duanmu Sheng and landed on him one after another.
A series of similar notifications rang in Lu Zhou"s mind.
"Ding! Disciplined Duanmu Sheng. Reward: 200 merit points.."
"Ding! Disciplined Duanmu Sheng. Reward: 200 merit points."
"Ding! Disciplined Duanmu Sheng. Reward: 200 merit points."
Meanwhile, Duanmu Sheng"s expression changed drastically. "It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!"
"You still know how to feel pain? Evil disciple!" Lu Zhou"s shout stunned Duanmu Sheng for a moment.
When the purplish-blue energy receded slightly, Duanmu Sheng felt that the person in front of him looked somewhat familiar. When an indescribable feeling rose in his heart, an image of an old man appeared in his mind, and he shouted immediately, "Old Thief! Have a taste of my Overlord Spear!"
"?"
"This disciple is really going against the heavens today!"
Lu Zhou flashed back and forth using his grand technique, launching palm seals. Needless to say, he would not use a Deadly Strike Card on his disciple; all he needed to do was subdue his disciple.
…
"Senior Sister Tianxin, that person is really Third Senior Brother," Conch, who was far more perceptive than the average person, said.
Ye Tianxin nodded.
Conch said, confused, "But who"s Third Senior Brother calling Old Thief? Is he talking to Lu Wu?"
"I think so."
Wuuu!
Cheng Huang"s cries resounded through the island in the center of the lake.
Birds in the jungle on the periphery of the island took flight immediately.
Lu Wu"s eyes swept past the sh.o.r.e. Without saying a word, it stomped on the frozen ground. The layer of ice began to sink and melt into the water immediately. Then, it raised its head and exhaled a dense white mist into the sky.
This time, the entire island and the lake were frozen. There was not a single part of the island that was not turned into an ice sculpture.
The cold energy continued to freeze the forest within dozens of meters of the sh.o.r.eline, turning the trees into ice as well.
Many fierce beasts that were bold enough to approach and watch the show were instantly frozen to death.
Cheng Huang sensed the danger and quickly jumped back to avoid the cold energy.
Meanwhile, Ye Wusheng and Ye Cheng"s hair stood on end. They used their grand technique to avoid the cold energy.
The island and the lake were now a world of ice.
Duanmu Sheng and Lu Zhou were also frozen.
Crack!
Lu Zhou raised his hand skyward, his palms facing up, as he broke free from the ice seal.
"Beast! Do you think you can trap me?!"
Bang!
A blue palm seal completely broke the ice seal and rushed up to the sky above the frozen world.
Lu Wu was so shocked that it retreated and looked at Lu Zhou who had broken out of the ice seal as though it was facing a great enemy. At this time, it suddenly exclaimed as its eyes widened in shock, "Lu Tiantong?! I recognize you, Lu… Tiantong. Even if you hide your aura, even if you turn into ashes, I"ll be able to recognize you…"
Nearing the end of its sentence, Lu Wu"s speech turned smooth just like a human.
