My Disciples Are All Villains Novel - Chapter 184
Chapter 184: Four Season Vanities, Arhats Combined!
The Overlord Spear was a heaven-grade weapon after all. It was only natural that it granted its user with a greater ability to pierce through energy.
Duanmu Sheng’s performance had boosted Mingshi Yi’s confidence and motivated him. Like a fired arrow, he shot toward Kong Zhi and Kong Zhang as he cried out, “I’ll take on the retards!”
Duanmu Sheng understood what he meant. Divide and conquer! Since the Four Divine Monks worked together, all they had to do was separate them. He moved his arm and conjured an energy barrier with a wave of the Overlord Spear, pushing Kong Wen and Kong Jue back.
At the same time, a palm print appeared as well. Kong Wen and Kong Jue kept sending out dozens of palm prints that seemed to dance in the air.
It was a fierce battle.
Kong Zhi and Kong Zhang retreated as they parried the threatening blows from the heaven-grade weapon.
Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt!
The grating hums from the Brahman Lullaby could still be heard loud and clear.
The battle was reaching its climax.
The Heaven Choice Temple’s disciples were all lying on the ground now. Some of them were even sent flying by the sound technique. Those with weak cultivation bases fainted as they frothed at their mouths.
A powerful sound technique was no different from a physical attack.
The incense cauldron was sent flying by dozens of palm prints. It shattered before it could even fall onto the ground. The ground was damaged beyond recognition. Not a single square of land was spared.
It was not easy for Duanmu Sheng and Mingshi Yin to pull this off. After all, they were each fighting against two opponents.
The Four Divine Monks were different from the Four Dark Knights. The Four Dark Knights were solo fighters. Even if they worked together, they were unable to release any collaborative techniques.
Although the Four Divine Monks were separated by Duanmu Sheng and Mingshi Yin, they were still able to unleash larger hand seals occasionally to push Duanmu Sheng and Mingshi Yin back.
Duanmu Sheng’s ferocious nature was displayed to its fullest during battle. The stronger his opponent was, the stronger he became. Although he took a few hits from the hand seals, he merely grunted and continued with his attacks. The blows that landed on him did not affect the rhythm and force of his attack.
Mingshi Yin’s nature was inclined to the cunning side. He dodged the incoming blows with nimble movements and looked for openings to attack.
The four of them seemed to be tossing flashing hidden weapons and shooting hand seals that ricocheted everywhere.
The area ten meters within the Hall of Great Strength was filled with dazzling golden hand seals.
As the battle progressed, despite themselves, the Four Divine Monks were amazed by the combat strength that Duanmu Sheng and Mingshi Yin displayed. They could tell Duanmu Sheng and Mingshi Yin were not ordinary Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm cultivators. After all, they even wielded heaven-grade weapons.
Usually, the Four Divine Monks would not have spent this much time and effort in dealing with ordinary Two and Three-leaf opponents.
Kong Wen did not want to drag the battle out any longer. He spoke in a deep voice, “Ward Mudra!”
The four monks moved back together and swiveled on their feet as Mudras appeared.
They resembled four translucent cocoons spinning on their respective axes. Some of the mudras appeared alongside energy wind as well.
Duanmu Sheng shouted, “I’ve been waiting for this tortoise technique!” His spear shadows lashed out again. He did not care about any kind of defenses. He stabbed with his spear shadows.
Bam!
Kong Jue stomped on the ground, and the ground cracked.
The Ward Mudra clanged loudly. It was known for being unmovable like a mountain. Hence, it could be used to withstand powerful attacks.
Kong Jue thought this skill would end everything. He did not expect Duanmu Sheng would keep stabbing at the Ward Mudra.
One stab, two stabs, three stabs…
The Overlord Spear was like a barely visible shadow as it moved with terrifying swiftness in the air.
Bam!
The spear shadows converged and stabbed at the Ward Mudra.
Kong Jue reeled back from this as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, drawing an arc in the sky.
‘Duanmu Sheng broke through the Ward Mudra?’ Those who were witnessing the scene had difficulty believing what had just happened. After all, the Ward Mudra was an extremely powerful defensive skill of the Zen Sect. Alas, no Ward Mudras could compare to Hua Wudao’s Six Compatible Seal.
Duanmu Sheng would become a laughingstock if he did not show any improvements after sparring with Hua Wudao for such a long time.
Mingshi Yin turned to look before he leaped back.
Although Xu Jing was weak, he still had enough energy to keep his eyes open. He said with a shaky voice, “Look out…”
‘Look out?’ Lu Zhou was not affected by the Brahman Lullaby. He could see everything clearly. Judging from the current situation, everything was under the Evil Sky Pavilion’s control. With his two disciples holding the fort, he felt he did not even have to waste his item cards.
Kong Wen, Kong Zhi, and Kong Zhang frowned.
Kong Jue landed on his feet. With one hand on his chest, he waved his left hand to conjure up energy to shield his body before he levitated. He wiped the trail of blood from the edge of his lips. He stared ahead and said, “Let’s do it…”
“Understood,” Kong Wen replied.
Kong Zhi and Kong Zhang nodded.
Mingshi Yin was puzzled. ‘Do what?’
The 20 disciples from the Temple of Great Emptiness suddenly sat down.
Boom!
An oval energy wave spread out in all directions directly.
“Taien Mantra?”
The Brahman Lullaby faded with the wind as chants of the Taien Mantra spread in the surroundings.
They were going in for the kill!
Lu Zhou did not expect the people from the Temple of Great Emptiness to master the Taien Mantra as well. There were many types of Buddhist sound techniques. Whether it was the Great Meditation Dharani or the Brahman Lullaby, they were both suppressive sound techniques that had a wide reach and effects.
The Taien Mantra was different. It could be fatal!
“Eliminate all evils, discard insincerities. The smallest doubts will result in failure.”
The Four Divine Monks seemed to be strengthened by the Taien Mantra!
Mingshi Yin’s and Duanmu Sheng’s aura weakened greatly.
None of the Heaven Choice Temple’s disciples were standing now. If this goes on, they would all die.
At this moment, a glimmer could be seen in Lu Zhou’s palm.
The sound technique, the Taien Mantra, was like a much stronger and fatal version of the Brahman Lullaby. It attacked a person’s seven orifices directly.
Lu Zhou felt a chilly sensation in his mind. He understood now why Xu Jing had told them to look out.
If the Four Divine Monks truly joined forces, Duanmu Sheng and Mingshi Yin would surely be gravely injured. Lu Zhou would never let that happen!
Lu Zhou stood at the top of the steps. He looked down at the 20 monks from the Temple of Great Emptiness who were chanting the Taien Mantra before saying in a deep voice, “Thunderblast!”
Five Thunderblast Cards disappeared in Lu Zhou’s hand. Five vortexes swirled in an anticlockwise direction and shot out as they grew in size and force.
“Master has made a move!” Mingshi Yin and Duanmu Sheng retreated and looked up.
Five bolts of lightning struck down from the heavens.
Boom!
At seemingly the same instant, the voices intensified for a moment.
Lu Zhou’s attacks landed on five of the monks. Two of them were blasted into the ground while the other three reeled back. The remaining 15 monks had frightened expressions on their faces. They stopped chanting the Taien Mantra abruptly.
Lu Zhou shook his head. ‘That’s some bad luck. The 1% sure-kill rate wasn’t triggered.’ At the same time, he glanced at the price of the Thunderblast Card. He was relieved to find that it did not increase.
The Four Divine Monks exchanged a look. Without the enhancement from the Taien Mantra, the Four Divine Monks were suddenly at a loss.
Lu Zhou walked down the steps slowly with his hands on his back.
It was so quiet now that not a single sound could be heard.
Kong Wen was suddenly overcome with the feeling that the old man approaching them was not as weak as his aura suggested. He cried out, “Take down the leader to take down the lackeys!”
“Four Season Vanities! Ward Mudra!”
Whoosh!
The four old Divine Monks’ auras suddenly surged out. Their eyes darkened and glowed with a dark blue radiance.
Primal Qi was condensed into energy.
A supersized Ward Mudra appeared from their joint effort!
Unlike the mudra from before, this mudra’s color was as dark as ink.
“Fiend Zen,” Mingshi Yin said in shock, “They really hid themselves well!”
“Depraved Zen…”
All this while, the world had only known Zuo Xinchan to be the sole cultivator who managed to cultivate the Fiend Zen to the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm. It seemed that the world was greatly mistaken. There were all kinds of strange phenomena in the vast world.
Meanwhile, four figures wrapped in the Ward Mudra charged at Duanmu Sheng and Mingshi Yin.
They advanced toward them from four sides.
“Four Golden Arhat Bodies!”
“Look out!” Xu Jing cried out with his final ounce of strength.
When the four Golden Arhat Bodies appeared, Duanmu Sheng raised his Overlord Spear before himself.
At the same time, countless vines grew around Mingshi Yin and formed a cocoon around himself.
However, what shocked the others was the four Golden Arhat Bodies merged into one. The Golden Lotus under its feet blossomed. One leaf, two leaves, three leaves, four leaves…
