My Disciples Are All Villains Novel - Chapter 439
Chapter 439: An Arrow through the Clouds
Hua Yuexing was certain she would lose her life to that shockingly powerful and fast arrow. Many thoughts flashed in her mind during the brief moment between her breaths. She had many unresolved regrets and many things that she had yet to accomplish… She did not expect the pavilion master to show up at that moment. Lu Zhou’s appearance gave her a great sense of security. It was as though she had found her mainstay and a dependable backer. She fell to her knees immediately. “Hua Yuexing thanks the pavilion master for his life-saving act.”
Lu Zhou waved his hand. A surge of energy brought her back up to her feet as he said, “This isn’t the time for that.”
“Understood.” Hua Yuexing immediately adjusted her posture. She wielded her Falling Moon Bow and said, “There should be a Godly Archer who’s at least at the Five-leaf stage at the southwestern corner.”
“He’s not merely at the Five-leaf stage,” Lu Zhou said as he stroked his beard.
“Huh?”
Lu Zhou stepped forward. Outside the great hall, he looked down at the battlefield.
…
Hua Wudao had seen the shocking arrow shot as well. Hua Yuexing could no longer be seen at the point where the moonlight was the brightest. His widened eyes turned red. He felt his old and tired heart break. He moved his arms and broke free of Leng Luo’s grasp. “Hua Yuexing…”
“Elder Hua, what’re you doing?” Leng Luo frowned. Compared to him, Leng Luo was much calmer and more rational.
Hua Wudao broke free and advanced instead of retreating.
The Evil Sky Pavilion disciples hovered before the mountain with a shocked expression on their faces. “Elder Hua, are you out of your mind?!”
Yet, Hua Wudao did not seem to hear them. His eyes were aflame as he unleashed his Nine-script Six Compatible Seal. Primal Qi surged wildly from his body. He cried out, “You’ll pay with your life!”
The most powerful Six-Compatible Sea in history appeared.
The Sect Master of the Celestial Masters Sect, Daoist Master Jue Yuan, who was charging forward was taken aback by this development.
Perhaps, Hua Wudao’s fighting style had been one that was passively defending all of his life. Over the past 20 years, he struggled against his trauma with the sole purpose of proving that a cultivator could pursue a simple aspect of cultivation to its extremes. That was how determined and tenacious he was. He was willing to spend 20 years just to overcome a trauma. He would spend 100 years to make up for a regret. He would avenge his kin with his life.
The nine scripts of the Six Compatible Seal were spinning at an unprecedented speed.
Hua Wudao stood among his Daoist seals and joined his palms. There was only one person left in his sight; Jue Yuan, the Sect Master of the Celestial Masters Sect.
The vast Six Compatible Seal shot past the heads of the Yun Sect’s nine elders. Energy scattered, and the nine of them reeled back. Blood rained down onto the surroundings. The gap between their strengths was clearly displayed.
On the other hand, Jue Yuan looked excited. He rose into the air as well. Dozens of talismans flew out and ignited. They merged and formed a round energy seal shield that resembled an Eight Trigram. The shield appeared in front of him.
This was a slightly comical sight to behold. Hua Wudao, the skilled defender, was attacking while Jue Yuan, the skilled attacker, was defending. One of them was throwing his life away while the other was trying to preserve his own life.
Just when the Six Compatible Seal was before Jue Yuan, Hua Wudao’s reddened eyes gleamed coldly. He shouted, “Die!” He joined his palms perpendicularly and pushed forward. The nine scripts of his Six Compatible Seal converged between his palms and formed an energy sword! He thrust it forward.
The energy sword pierced Jue Yuan’s chest!
“Sect Master!” The disciples and elders of the Celestial Masters Sect were shocked by this sight.
It was as though time and space had frozen.
Hua Wudao was indeed skilled in defense. However, this did not mean that he did not know how to attack, he was merely not skilled in attacks. Since he came from a Daoist Sect and had lived to such an old age, it was impossible for him to be completely unfamiliar with the sword path. However, the public was under the assumption that he did not know how to attack as well.
At this moment, the Six Compatible Seal was converted into an attack. This was probably Hua Wudao’s final trump card and final struggle.
The used sword remained sharp, and the old man remained firm.
It did not feel good to have a sword pierce through one’s chest. Only when his mind registered the pain did Jue Yian realized he had been stabbed. His blood gushed out and dripped to the ground. He looked murderous. He scattered all his talismans with his dissipating Primal Qi. The talismans utilized the Primal Qi within 100 meters and formed energy swords. The talismans continued to burn as Primal Qi gathered around them.
Hua Wudao chuckled. ‘If Hua Yuexing’s dead, there’s no reason for me to continue living.’
The talisman sword formation Jue Yuan unleashed at the moment before his death was almost complete.
“What a madman.” Leng Luo shook his head.
Both of them were fighting with their lives!
…
At the Evil Sky Pavilion, Lu Zhou saw this scene as well. He shook his head. “Hua Wudao thinks you’re dead.”
When Hua Yuexing heard this, she was worried. She knew Hua Wudao treated her differently. For a time, she had difficulty voicing her thoughts and emotions. Finally, she cried out, “Pavilion Master, please do something!”
Lu Zhou looked around their surroundings.
The seven great sects were still in hiding. If he could not take them out in one fell swoop, it would be a shame. However, if he did not save Hua Wudao, Hua Wudao would most definitely die.
At this moment, two figures seemed to be pulled by Leng Luo over to Hua Wudao.
Lu Zhou focused his gaze. Was that not Duanmu Sheng and Little Yuan’er?
…
Leng Luo said with a deep voice, “Little girl, your Nirvana Sash!”
“Oh!” Little Yuan’er had been honing her control over her weapon for a long time now. She finally had the chance to put it into practice. Her Nirvana Sash danced in the air and flew toward Hua Wudao at a terrifying speed.
Duanmu Sheng pushed Leng Luo from the back. He was supporting Leng Luo with his vigorous Primal Qi.
Leng Luo kept sending out hand seals as he worked with Little Yuan’er who sent the Nirvana Sash toward Hua Wudao to protect him.
The remaining Evil Sky Pavilion disciples stared with their mouths agape.
Zhu Honggong said excitedly, “You can do that? Awesome! Little Junior Sister, you’re amazing!”
The sword formation in the air advanced on Hua Wudao.
…
The seven great sects communicated among themselves within the forest.
“Get ready!”
“The Evil Sky Pavilion disciples are making a move. Get ready!”
“Tell the two of them to sneak up on Old Villain Ji from the back of the mountain!”
This time, up to 1,000 cultivators from the seven great sects swarmed out.
There were huge chariots on land, huge chariots in the air, and mounts of varying grades.
Leng Luo glanced at them and said, “Little girl, retract your Nirvana Sash! Focus!”
“Oh!” Little Yuan’er held her breath and sharpened her focus. Her Nirvana Sash responded to her. It wrapped around Hua Wudao and pulled him back swiftly. She exclaimed in joy and excitement, “This is handy!” In her excitement, the Nirvana Sash slowed for a second.
Leng Luo struck with his palm. His vigorous Primal Qi flowed along the Nirvana Sash and boosted its speed.
Like a web, it caught Hua Wudao and kept him out of the range of the energy swords.
The talismans’ energy swords were truly terrifying. However, their weakness was obvious as well. When they erupted, they could not travel too far away from Jue Yuan.
Jue Yuan was already heavily wounded and would not last long. He could not possibly travel with the sword formation in tow.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The energy swords struck the Nirvana Sash.
Hua Wudao thought that he was a dead man. However, when he saw the Evil Sky Pavilion disciples and Leng Luo trying to save him so desperately, he cried out in fury and unleashed every bit of Primal Qi from his dantian’s sea of Qi. He brought the Nirvana Sash with him as he flew out of the range of the sword formation.
At this moment, the 1,000-strong cultivators from the seven great sects finally appeared under the moonlight.
Jue Yuan placed a hand on the gaping wound on his chest. His eyes gleamed coldly. “Curses…”
As soon as Jue Yan spoke, from the Evil Sky Pavilion’s great hall, an energy arrow that seemed slimmer than the ones before but shone with a blue light shot toward him.
“Hua Yuexing is still alive?”
The others looked up at the energy arrow from the Evil Sky Pavilion under the moonlight. Its target was Jue Yuan, the Sect Master of the Celestial Masters Sect.
“Block it!”
Five cultivators raised their weapons to form a shield.
Strangely, the energy arrow flew through the shield as though the shield was made of tofu.
It flew and pierced the five cultivators’ hearts before it finally pierced Jue Yuan.
The arrow that shot through the clouds stunned everyone present on the scene, especially the people from the seven great sects.
Since when did Hua Yuexing become this powerful?
