Chapter 985: That’s right. I’m Invincible.
Five explosions rang in the air accompanied by dazzling golden fireworks.
Xiao Yunhe knew Lu Zhou was very strong, but this had exceeded his expectations. Lu Zhou had easily beaten the White Tower Council’s judge to such a sorry state with just one palm strike. Even the strengths of the Tower Masters of the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council were not so exaggerated!
The cultivation world had always respected the strong.
Xiao Yunhe knew this very well. When he was the most powerful person in the world, he was respected by many people. After his Birth Charts were destroyed, even a person like Nangong Yutian dared to act impudently. As the saying went, ‘Even a dog would dare to bully an injured tiger’. Seeing Nangong Yutian being beaten into such a sorry state, his heart that had long been immoveable stirred. He knew his judgment was right regarding the old man in front of him.
On the other hand, Jiang Jiuli was thoroughly shocked. He thanked the heavens he did not act recklessly earlier.
Meanwhile, Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong were relatively calmer compared to the others. After all, they had seen countless scenes like this before.
At this time, the gray sky was quiet and nothing could be seen. Not even Nangong Yutian’s shadow could be seen. Where did he go? Although five of his Birth Charts had been destroyed, he still had another four Birth Charts, which was similar to Lu Zhou now.
Lu Zhou still had the supreme mystic power so he was not worried about not being able to kill Nangong Yutian. However, he was still at a disadvantage in regard to battle experience with the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar.
Lu Zhou looked around after activating the power of hearing. He could the rustling of gra.s.s and wind within a 100-meter radius.
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
The heartbeats of everyone present rang in Lu Zhou’s ears.
Jiang Jiuli and his men’s heartbeats were abnormally fast.
Similarly, Wu Chao’s heartbeat was incredibly fast as well. He recalled the time he was chased by Lu Zhou, and his breathing grew chaotic as sweat drenched his back.
In comparison, Xiao Yunhe was relatively calm.
The silence in the ruins was deafening.
At this moment, everyone, including Nangong Yutian, a Nine Chart judge of the White Tower Council, finally understood why Xiao Yunhe was so adamant about protecting Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong.
Lu Zhou ignored the others and flew close to where Nangong Yutian was hiding and listened to the noises around him.
Thump!
Perhaps it was due to the proximity, Lu Zhou heard Nangong Yutian’s heartbeat. Although it was just for a fleeting moment, it was enough. He looked at the mountain of rocks in front of him and said, “Do you think you can escape from me?”
Lu Zhou raised his hand again and launched a blue palm seal.
The blue palm seal fell like a meteor toward the mountain of rocks.
Boom!
The rocks flew in the air immediately.
Nangong Yutian let out a m.u.f.fled groan as he flew back into the sky. At the same time, he held onto the white astrolabe in front of him with both hands. After five of his Birth Charts were destroyed, not only did it grow significantly dimmer, but cracks and dents could be seen on it as well.
Everyone was shocked when they saw Nangong Yutian’s astrolabe.
Boom!
The blue palm seal pressed against the astrolabe, further denting it.
After facing Ning Wanqing, Lu Zhou’s control of the supreme mystic power had grown even more precise. While the blue palm seal pushed against Nangong Yutian, he seized the chance and launched another palm seal.
Bang!
Nangong Yutian spat out a mouthful of blood before he suddenly vanished in just a flash. It had to be said that it was not without reason that he was a judge of the White Tower Council. He managed to survive the palm seals under extreme circ.u.mstances, protect his remaining Birth Charts, and escape in just an instant. This was also part of the combat techniques for Thousand Realms Whirling cultivators; sometimes it was better to suffer injuries to protect one’s Birth Charts.
After suffering consecutive attacks from Lu Zhou, Nangong Yutian had no choice but to flee. Lu Zhou was unfathomably strong.
Lu Zhou flew after Nangong Yutian at a low alt.i.tude and activated his power of hearing again.
Nangong Yutian had learned from his mistake. This time, there was no sound of heartbeat that could give him away.
Lu Zhou said in a deep voice, “You can hide for a while, but do you think you can hide for a lifetime?”
After losing five Birth Charts, even if Nangong Yutian was highly talented, it was impossible for him to hide for a long time.
Swoos.h.!.+
At this moment, the white mystic bird flew up in the sky and let out a shrill cry. Its cry was a kind of sound technique as well.
As soon as the white mystic bird cried out, Nangong Yutian suddenly appeared in the sky and flashed into the distance.
Lu Zhou activated the power from his fourth Birth Chart and chased after Nangong Yutian. With a speed that was not inferior to Nangong Yutian, he caught up to Nangong Yutian and struck with his palm.
Nangong Yutian spun around and used both hands to block the attack.
Bang!
Energy seals from the collision that were thousands of meters long flew out, destroying the rubble in the ruins.
“Do you think you’re invincible?” Nangong Yutian asked with bloodshot eyes. At the same time, a strange light appeared in his hand; it was green and purple at the same time.
A strange color appeared between his palms. It was green and purple at the same time.
Lu Zhou said in a deep voice, “I am invincible.”
At this moment, the golden palm seal that was pressing on Nangong Yutian turned blue. Its strength increased swiftly, and it easily breached Nangong Yutian’s protective energy and landed on him.
With this, Nangong Yutian spat out a mouthful of blood before he fell down from the sky, stirring up a cloud of dust when he landed on the ground.
“Ding! Destroyed one Birth Chart. Reward: 6,000 merit points.”
In fact, even if Lu Zhou did not use the supreme mystic power, he could still hold his own against Nangong Yutian. After all, both of them had four Birth Charts now. Most importantly, Lu Zhou was in peak condition while Nangong Yutian was heavily injured.
Currently, Nangong Yutian had three Birth Charts left.
No one dared to move. Even a Nine Chart expert could not fight back against the old man. How strong was the old man exactly? They held their breaths as they watched the scene unfold.
At this time, the white mystic bird that was eager to protect its master shrieked before it shot toward Lu Zhou.
This was one of the reasons why mounts were precious. If one managed to tame and bond with a mount, it was akin to gaining another helper.
Lu Zhou turned around and barked, “Evil creature, you’re courting death!”
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yunhe exclaimed in surprise, “He isn’t bewitched by the illusory sound technique?”
“Tower master, what’s an illusory sound technique?”
“It’s the white mystic bird’s ability. Its cry would temporarily make someone feel as though they’re paralyzed. Under normal circ.u.mstances, no matter how strong a cultivator is, they’d still be somewhat affected. This is rather strange…” Xiao Yunhe explained, puzzled.
At this moment, not only was Lu Zhou unaffected, but he was furious. His gaze was fierce and piercing as Unnamed appeared in his hand.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yunhe was further shocked. “Fusion grade?”
Only those with high positions in the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council would possess a fusion-grade weapon.
The appearance of Unnamed caused everyone to change their views of Lu Zhou again. Just who was this old man? What did the blue palm seals mean? Is there a blue lotus domain?
While everyone watched in a daze, Lu Zhou swung Unnamed and launched an energy sword that was several feet long.
Upon sensing the danger, the white mystic bird tried to escape.
Alas, Lu Zhou used the speed he obtained from Di Jiang and flashed above the white mystic bird before he brought Unnamed down and released another energy sword. This time, the energy sword was shrouded with the karmic fire and imbued with power from the Birth Charts.
“No!” Nangong Yutian’s sorrowful and angry roar rang from the ground. The death of the white mystic bird was more painful than having his Birth Charts destroyed.
Lu Zhou did not spare a glance for the mystic bird. He knew without a doubt that it was dead.
Blood from the mystic bird that was cleaved into two rained down on the ground.
“Ding! Killed a mystic bird. Reward: 5,000 merit points.”
Lu Zhou felt it was a pity that the mystic bird was not a Birth Chart Beast and he could not harvest its life heart.
At this moment, Xiao Yunhe suddenly called out, “Nangong Yutian, stop! If you beg for mercy, you still have a chance to survive!”
When the dust settled, everyone saw Nangong Yutian who was dressed in a white robe completely drenched in blood. His bloodshot eyes brimmed with anger and hatred as he looked up at Lu Zhou in the sky and said, “Even if I die, I’ll make sure you pay the price for it.”
Following that, Nangong Yutian suddenly flew toward Lu Zhou like an arrow with a burst of energy. When he clenched his hand, a white ring could be seen on his finger. It was clearly some sort of weapon. After he clenched his hand, his body seemed to undergo a strange transformation. His strength seemed to rise greatly at this moment.
Everyone wondered what was going on as they watched. Nangong Yutian’s current strength clearly exceeded that of a Three Chart cultivator at this moment.
Countless white energy fists shot out toward Lu Zhou immediately.
Lu Zhou pressed his hand down. Then, he formed a s.h.i.+eld before he manifested his golden astrolabe and held it down.
Lu Zhou was above while Nangong Yutian was attacking from below.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The white energy fists landed on Lu Zhou’s astrolabe one after another. The tremendous pushed Lu Zhou back in just an instant.
