My Disciples Are All Villains Novel - Chapter 1787
Chapter 1787: Death Wish
Wen Ruqing looked very calm. He tried to maintain a faint smile on his face as he shook his head and said, “I respectfully address you as teacher because you’d once taught me. However, for the sake of justice and righteousness, I have to be able to distinguish right from wrong and I can’t turn black to white. For the sake of the world, I’ll do what’s right even if I have to bear the infamy…”
Wen Ruqing’s eyes were filled with determination just like when he pursued the path of cultivation when he was young.
In the past, the members and students of the Grand Mystic Mountain took the Unholy One’s words seriously and never questioned them.
Wen Ruqing’s personality had not changed. The only thing that changed was his goal. It had turned into the ‘world’ that he spoke of and the Sacred Temple.
Lu Zhou nodded slightly as he said, “Indeed. Can you really distinguish right from wrong? Are you sure you’re not turning black to white? Tell me, what’s right and wrong? What’s black and white?”
Wen Ruqing’s mood suddenly changed. He could not help but raise his voice as he said, “Is there a need for me to list out the things you’ve done? Let’s just take the last one for example. Did you kill Zui Can and Hua Zhenghong?”
Although Wen Ruqing spoke respectfully, his anger was still evident.
Lu Zhou asked expressionlessly, “Are you questioning me?”
Wen Ruqing laughed. Then, he pointed at Lu Zhou with a slightly trembling hand as he said, “Look, look, you’ve always been like this! No matter what, you only put yourself first and never consider the feelings of others. Anyone who goes against you is wrong; anyone who goes against your interest must die. You act high and mighty as though you’re the only important person in the world! At this point, you still don’t know why you’re wrong!”
Lu Zhou understood the reason behind Wen Ruqing’s anger. He only shook his head slightly and said tonelessly, “You’re still young…”
…
“Young?” Wen Ruqing retorted, “I’ve lived for 108,000 years! I’ve lived for a long time, and I had a long time to think things through carefully…”
Lu Zhou shook his head again. “It’s a pity that you’ve been living in vain for the past 100,000 years then.”
“…”
“It’s been 100,000 years, but you’ve just understood basic life principles that even ten-year-old children understand?” Lu Zhou said loudly as he took a step forward.
Wen Ruqing instinctively took a step backward, growing nervous again.
Since ancient times, the winners had the last word.
Lu Zhou said, “I’m too lazy to lecture you on such shallow principles. It’s getting late. It’s time for you to reunite with Zui Can and Hua Zhenghong.”
Initially, Lu Zhou had planned to lecture Wen Ruqing, but after hearing Wen Ruqing’s words, he dismissed the idea.
Since ancient times, there had been many emperors, and all of them knew the principle. There were so many people in the world, must one consider everyone’s feelings, especially those of strangers? When fierce beasts ate people, did they consider the feelings of the people they ate? What about those who ate pork, beef, and chicken, did they consider the feelings of the animal they ate?
Wen Ruqing suddenly laughed before he appeared in front of the Sacred Temple in just a flash. He looked down at Lu Zhou and said, “Great Emperor Ming Xin expected your visit so he had set up a Sacred Formation beforehand. You won’t have a chance to leave. This Sacred Formation will trap you here forever.”
Then, Wen Ruqing joined his palms together.
The special sound of energy resonance rang in the sky as the seals in the sky lit up and began to move.
…
Many cultivators in the Sacred Region sensed the strange fluctuations and hurried to the top of the buildings to take a look.
The sky was filled with energy seals that glowed like meteors.
The cultivators in the Sacred Region did not dare to enter Sacred City so they could only watch from a distance.
Meanwhile, about 100 Templars flew toward the Sacred Temple.
“So many Templars? I wonder what happened?”
“There are too many seals. I can’t see what’s happening!”
The seals continue to grow in number, forming a barrier around the Sacred Temple.
…
Lu Zhou looked up and said, “Primordial Star Formation?”
Wen Ruqing said, “That’s right. I planned to set up this formation on Grand Mystic Mountain but failed. I didn’t let you down. In the 50,000th year after the Great Void rose to the sky, I finally succeeded.”
Lu Zhou nodded slightly and sensed the power of the Primordial Star Formation. He closed his eyes slightly. He could feel time, space, the laws, and Primal Qi seemed to have slowed down. At the same time, he could sense that not only was Wen Ruqing’s Primal Qi unaffected, but it had grown stronger as well. With this, he understood where Wen Ruqing’s confident words came from. Within the formation, Wen Ruqing was a divine emperor.
Then, Wen Ruqing said, “This can be considered that the student has surpassed the teacher?”
Lu Zhou opened his eyes that shone with a faint blue light as he said in a deep voice, “You’re still a long way from that…”
Wen Ruqing moved.
The space seemed to shrink as the energy seals fell on Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou waved his hand in a leisurely manner. “Freeze.”
The Hourglass of Time flew out as powerful blue electric arcs swept out.
“Hourglass of Time?!” Wen Ruqing was shocked. Although he had already expected this, he was still terrified when he saw the Hourglass of Time. He quickly shouted, “Break!”
The seals quickly scattered under Wen Ruqing’s command.
At the same time, a faint power from the law surged out of the formation as though it was synchronizing with the Hourglass of Time. Instead of shattering the effect of the Hourglass of Time, Wen Ruqing intended to speed up time for himself to break the stillness.
Wen Ruqing flashed. He pushed his hand and unleashed a palm seal that left dark holes in the void at Lu Zhou’s chest.
Boom!
The divine mark robe fluttered as Lu Zhou’s protective energy caved in.
Upon seeing this, Wen Ruqing said joyfully, “Admit it, teacher! With the Primordial Star Formation, I can balance your power!”
Bzzzt!
The palm seal buzzed and disappeared.
Wen Ruqing instinctively looked up and saw Lu Zhou standing still with his hands on his back.
Lu Zhou looked at Wen Ruqing expressionlessly and asked in a low voice, “Is that so?”
Lu Zhou suddenly raised his right hand and slapped it out with all his might.
Wen Ruqing’s mind went blank for a brief moment when he saw this. This scene was very similar to the time when the Unholy One had slapped him angrily at Grand Mystic Mountain. He wanted to dodge, but he discovered the palm seal had already arrived in front of him.
Smack!
Wen Ruqing flipped three times in the air and rolled to the edge of the Primordial Star Formation. Then, he looked at Lu Zhou in disbelief.
Lu Zhou’s expression was calm as he looked at the bloody handprint on Wen Ruqing’s face and said, “I personally taught you. Do you really think you can hurt me?”
‘Why?!
Wen Ruqing felt that he clearly had the upper hand in terms of laws in the Primordial Star Formation. He did not understand how he could still be slapped like an ordinary person. He thought it was illogical.
Wen Ruqing raised his right hand, and a sword appeared. Without saying another word, she brandished the sword with all her might.
In just a moment, 10,000 energy swords filled the Primordial Star Formation and shot toward Lu Zhou.
Wen Ruqing stabilized his body. He gritted his teeth and attacked with his all might as he glared at Lu Zhou.
“Primal Restoration.”
“Time Reversal.”
Swoosh!
The blue avatar in Lu Zhou’s Dantian’s sea of Qi began to spin. The divine Dao power it generated devoured the law in the Primordial Star Formation.
“Huh? How’s this possible?!”
Wen Ruqing saw his energy swords retreating, and he sensed his Primal Qi flowing in reverse. He was shocked.
After a short time, time flowed in the right direction again, and the energy swords arrived in front of Lu Zhou.
Bang!
Wen Ruqing inhaled deeply. His heart pounded in his chest as fear permeated his heart. After composing himself, he looked up to see Lu Zhou holding the blade of his sword between his fingers.
Lu Zhou said indifferently, “Back then, I gave you the Grand Mystic Sword. Today, I’ll take it back.”
With just a twist of his fingers, the power from a great law surged.
Wen Ruqing instinctively let go of the sword’s hilt.
Bang!
As soon as Wen Ruqing let go, Lu Zhou smacked the sword.
Buzz!
With just a smack, the Grand Mystic Sword lost one-third of its spirituality, and its light dimmed.
Wen Ruqing’s eyes widened as he exclaimed, “My sword!”
Lu Zhou said, “It’s not your sword any longer.”
Wen Ruqing landed on the ground. His expression was one of bewilderment and anxiety as he muttered, “Why is it like this? The Primordial Star Formation… Why…”
“Why am I unaffected by the formation? Why are my laws still stronger?” Lu Zhou scoffed. “Bast*rd, you studied at Grand Mystic Mountain for 8,000 years. Have you forgotten that I personally created this formation?”
Wen Ruqing remained silent.
Lu Zhou said, “Come, show me your strength. Let me see how capable you are.”
Wen Ruqing straightened his back and said with a self-deprecating smile, “How could I forget such a thing?”
Then, Wen Ruqing laughed loudly. His entire appearance seemed to have changed. His gaze was bold and resolute as he said fearlessly, “I just wanted to confirm something…”
Wen Ruqing let out a long sigh and withdrew all his Primal Qi and said, “You, kill me…”
