My Disciples Are All Villains Novel - Chapter 630
Chapter 630: The Power of a Nine-leaf Cultivator’s Palm Strike
The blood shocked the Roulians. Their war god, the undefeated Roulian General, was powerless to fight back against an ugly old man? Realization suddenly dawned on them. They understood now why Great Yan sent less than 100 men to challenge them.
The importance of ordinary soldiers in a war could not be discounted. In an era where Primal Qi was abundant, many soldiers had physiques that were tougher than ordinary mortals. With some training, they could strengthen their bodies further. During a battle, cultivators would usually fight against cultivators, who were, more often than not, evenly matched. The ordinary soldiers were the ones who would decide the outcome of the battle. Naturally, these instances did not include one-sided battles.
It was clear that the situation now was not one of those instances! They were in a one-sided battle now. Even with only 100 men, Great Yan could easily crush them. In a one-sided battle, the number of troops was unimportant.
…
After Lu Zhou’s fourth palm strike hit Karol, blood rained down on the ground.
The cultivators activated their energies to keep the shower of blood at bay. Unfortunately, those who were not in the Mystic Enlightening realm yet could only put up being drenched by the shower of blood.
Lu Zhou had controlled his strength well when he attacked. He had intended to severely injure Karol with a palm strike and render Karol unable to fight. He was rather taken aback that it took four palm strikes before he managed to injure Karol. It seemed like Karol had a few tricks up his sleeve…
Meanwhile, Karol was greatly shaken. He bit back the pain and rose into the sky and ordered, “Retreat!”
The three remaining deputy generals who heard the order turned their horses around and shouted, “Get ready to retreat!”
With the order, the 10,000 Roulians turned around.
Lu Zhou pushed away from the ground with movements as light as a swallow.
At this moment, Karol displayed his impressive endurance. He quickly descended like a 1,000-catty rock.
Boom!
“General!”
Karol panted heavily as looked up at Lu Zhou who was hovering in the air. Now that he was on solid ground, he felt much more at ease.
Lu Zhou did not strike. He wanted to see what Karol was trying to do and why Karol suddenly decided to descend to the ground. Karol managed to endure four palm strikes; he was clearly not an ordinary Eight-leaf cultivator. Karol’s stubbornness was comparable to Yu Zhenghai. No wonder Karol was confident about guarding the border.
Karol looked at Lu Zhou and wiped the blood from his mouth before he said, “You’re truly the Patriarch of the Evil Sky Pavilion!”
Upon hearing these words, the three deputy generals widened their eyes. Their eyes were the size of a cow’s eyes at this moment.
Karol was finally convinced the old man was the Evil Sky Pavilion’s Ji Tiandao. In his opinion, only a Nine-leaf cultivator’s palm seal could render him powerless to fight back. He took a deep breath to calm his emotions.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and asked indifferently, “Since you know who I am, why aren’t you running away?”
Karol endured the pain and said, “Joli didn’t lie to you. I did station an Eight-leaf cultivator outside the Divine Capital. That Eight-leaf cultivator is the greatest assassin in Rouli. Since you’ve left the Divine Capital, the people in the Imperial city will meet their demise. A fervent look appeared in his eyes as he said in a lowered voice, “Truth be told, I’ve always been fearfully respectful of experts. Why would I run away? A man of the battlefield would never fear death.”
Karol’s arms shook. Soon enough, the wolf king’s arms appeared. Then, red lines rose from the back of his warehouse. It seemed as though he was calling to the red lines as they swirled around his body.
Everyone was puzzled when they saw this.
However, Lu Zhou finally discovered the source of Karol’s confidence after he saw the red lines swirling around Karol’s body. This reminded him of the former emperor, Liu Ge. Unlike Liu Ge, the red lines only swirled around on the surface of Karol’s skin, they did not stick to his skin like Liu Ge. For this reason, Karol did not look as terrifying as Liu Ge did.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard. He finally understood why Karol was in such a hurry to land. He asked, “So this is why you’re so confident?”
Karol looked up at Lu Zhou and said, “Senior Ji, although I’m an Eight-leaf cultivator, the difference between a Nine-leaf cultivator and I is as great as the difference between the heavens and the earth. I won’t be a worthy opponent for you… However, with these runes, I’ll be able to fight against you… Naturally, I’ll be paying a corresponding price, but it’s worth it.”
“Where did you get these red runes?” Lu Zhou asked.
“There are many wonders in the great wide world. Alas, I cannot tell you.” Karol spread his arms, and the red runes swirling around his body shone again.
The faint red light reminded Lu Zhou of Yu Shangrong’s Longevity Sword. He shook his and said, “Do you think you’ll be able to defeat me by relying on external forces alone?”
“We’ll know after our battle,” Karol said, “If I win this battle by some stroke of luck, Great Yan would lose completely… The 12 allied nations will divide Great Yan and devour it.”
Lu Zhou’s voice deepened as he said, “I’ll wait and see.”
Bam!
Lu Zhou walked on air as though there were rock slabs beneath his feet. Loud thuds could be heard as he charged forward.
The others held their breaths as they looked at Lu Zhou. After all, this was a battle between the strongest person in Great Yan and the strongest person in Rouli.
This was a decisive battle!
Lu Zhou appeared above Karol. He raised a palm and mobilized his Qi! A familiar scene appeared. His fingers glowed with a blue light, and the words ‘Abandon Wisdom’ appeared above his fingers. Then, he pushed his palm downward.
Karol looked up and raised his arms. The red runes shone at the same time.
Whizz!
The wolf king avatar appeared and merged with Karol. The leaves spun up and swirled around his fist.
“Eight-leaf and a half?” Si Wuya was standing closest to the battle so he had the best view. He was shocked. Karol had eight-and-a-half leaves?
Karol stomped his feet on the ground and shot upward. His arms glowed red as he charged toward the palm seal in the air with his lotus leaves. Soon after, he swung his fist.
Boom!
The scripts of Abandon Wisdom dropped down, and the blue palm seal’s power collided with Karol’s right fist.
Karol dropped five meters!
Heaven and earth shook. The sound seemed to resound thunderously in the air.
Under the attack of the blue palm seal, the power of the red runes on Karol’s body seemed to have come to life! His arm shone with a red so dark that it seemed black.
When Lu Zhou saw this, he wondered if his extraordinary power had activated the power of the red runes.
The others held their breaths as they stared at Karol incredulously. Karol had successfully withstood this attack!
“Senior… What do you think?” Karol’s eyes shone with excitement.
“The general stopped the palm seal from a Nine-leaf cultivator?!”
“General!”
The Roulian’s morale rose through the roof at this moment.
The Evil Sky Pavilion’s side was slightly shocked when they saw this. In the past, the pavilion master had always ended a fight with a single palm strike, after all. It was only natural for one to be instantly crushed by a strike from a Nine-leaf cultivator. They truly did not expect Karol to be the first person capable of blocking the blue palm seal.
No wonder the Roulians were confident. Regardless if the pavilion master was the real deal or not, Karol was confident. For an Eight-leaf-and-a half war god with red runes, he was on par with a Nine-leaf cultivator. In fact, he even wished Ji Tiandao was truly here. Who knew his wish would come true?
Lu Zhou looked down at Karol and said in a gruff voice, “You know nothing about power!” He flipped his palm up before flipping it back down. The blue light shone even brighter than before as a blue lotus appeared under his feet. A palm seal that resembled Mount Tai shot out!
Karol used the same technique again. His arms were like red-hot molten iron. The red runes shone brightly as he charged toward the palm seal that resembled Mount Tai.
The palm seal dropped down, and Karol’s eight and a half leaves spun up.
Karol was confident he could deflect the palm seal just like before…
Alas…
Crack!
A crack could be heard on his arm before his right arm broke.
The palm seal continued to press down!
“No!”
Boom!
Karol’s final cry seemed to be caught in his throat. It was drowned by the sound of the palm seal hitting the ground. He crashed to the ground, leaving no doubt about the outcome of the battle.
When the palm seal landed on the ground, the earth and mountains shook from the impact.
‘Have you ever seen a palm strike descending from the sky? How do you feel now?’
