My Disciples Are All Villains Novel - Chapter 691
Chapter 691: Nostalgic Battle Intent
Ever since he became Ji Tiandao, Lu Zhou had been reminiscing about the past where he fought against ten cultivators. He went through the scenes when the mountain was being besieged. That was the true strength of an Eight-leaf cultivator. He obtained the power through the Peak Form Card in the end. Although it was an enjoyable battle, it felt slightly unreal. The crushing strength granted by the Peak Form Card lacked the pressure and excitement from being in danger. However, the injured Qiong Qi gave him those feelings today. He felt nostalgic when he felt his battle intent.
Naturally, this was the outcome when his extraordinary power was completely exhausted.
Qiong Qi’s strength had exceeded his expectations.
He could only manage to injure it with half of his extraordinary power; he could not kill it. Clearly, it was as tough as Chi Yao of the black water.
Throughout the battle, the combination of extraordinary power and his Eight-leaf cultivation base managed to hurt Qiong Qi.
The man and beast fought for hours.
The cultivators looked at the sky, but they did not feel tired.
If two Eight-leaf cultivators were to fight, it was not surprising if they fought for five days and five nights.
However, Lu Zhou had no intention of spending so much time fighting the beast. He was going to give it his all. With this, Qiong Qi would have to respond in kind. The duration of their battle would be greatly reduced.
Bam!
There was another sound of a collision.
Lu Zhou flew backward.
Qiong Qi flipped backward as well.
Lu Zhou gauged the remaining Primal Qi in his dantian’s sea of Qi; he only had half left.
Qiong Qi was not in a much better state. Apart from its flattened hair, its nose was bruised, and its face was swollen. As it panted, its belly rose and fell in tandem. It lowered its stance and flicked its tongue out.
Lu Zhou looked down at the tear on his sleeve. “You’re the first beast that managed to damage my sleeve. I’ll give you another chance… Surrender and you may live.”
Upon hearing this, the other cultivators were speechless. An elite was truly an elite. To think this was the first time the patriarch had his sleeve damaged by his opponent.
When they thought about it, they wondered if it did not count when the ten great sects dealt grievous injuries to the patriarch? If it did not, then, there was no issue with the patriarch’s words.
Woof! Woof! Woof!
The strange Qiong Qi barked thrice.
Lu Zhou, naturally, did not understand it. Moreover, the system did not send him any notification saying the beast had been tamed. He would have to forge on, it seemed. “If you refuse to submit, I’ll continue beating you until you submit.”
With a flurry of movements, Lu Zhou launched energy fists out.
Qiong Qi struck with its claws and flapped its wings.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The energy fists were like a tempest when it struck the beast’s chest.
Qiong Qi was huge. However, it did not underestimate this frail human.
Grrrr!
Qiong Qi suddenly rolled around. It brought its fangs down as it attempted to maul Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou thrust his hand upward and summoned his avatar.
The 100-foot avatar wrapped around Lu Zhou and held Qiong Qi’s jaw.
Bam!
Qiong Qi did not expect Lu Zhou to suddenly summon his avatar. Although it had a huge mouth, it could not swallow a 100-foot avatar. There was a crisp sound as one of its fangs broke off. It roared and thrashed in pain!
Bam!
Lu Zhou used his avatar to block the incoming attacks. Nevertheless, the huge impact pushed him back.
The avatar disappeared.
Lu Zhou stabilized his footing. “Livestock. Are you satisfied now?”
He extended his arms and pushed up.
Energy swords appeared!
“Primal Restoration!”
The energy swords thrummed and vibrated.
Qiong Qi flapped its wings in a frenzy. Its hairs stood up again. It seemed exhausted.
“You’re furious?” Lu Zhou frowned. He was certain this beast was of the Nine-leaf stage. He did not feel as strained when he was fighting Jiang Wenxu back then! Without a second thought, he launched the energy swords of Primal Restoration!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
They merged into one and stabbed at Qiong Qi!
Then, Lu Zhou flipped his palm around before Unnamed materialized in his hand.
Lu Zhou rose into the air. “Livestock… If you’re not willing to submit, I’ll send you on your way.”
The energy swords wrapped around Unnamed.
Although Qiong Qi was furious, he was just like an arrow at the end of its flight at this moment. A powerful defense would not do him any good. Unnamed could surely breach his defense.
Lu Zhou held Unnamed as charged forward at top speed. The Primal Qi in his dantian’s sea of Qi condensed into energy.
Lu Zhou saw the fervor in Qiong Qi’s eyes. This livestock loved to battle!
Return and Enter Three Souls.
Three shadows appeared.
Even Qiong Qi was distracted.
In the next second, Lu Zhou swung with Unnamed.
When it looked up, Lu Zhou saw a look of fear in its eyes. He pressed with his thumb and turned the blade 180 degrees around.
Bam –
The blade and the energy swords struck Qiong Qi’s body.
Bam!
Qiong Qi flew sideways.
Lu Zhou stepped into the air. He wielded his sword in his right hand and raised it.
“I’m giving you a chance here… I’ll take your life if you insist on being stubborn.” Lu Zhou’s loud and clear voice reached Qiong Qi’s ears.
Unexpectedly, Qiong Qi did not choose to submit. As much as it loved to fight, it did not have any intention to continue the fight. It wanted to retreat.
Lu Zhou stepped forward.
Everyone who saw this was stunned.
The patriarch really defeated Qiong Qi with his Eight-leaf power! Who in the world could do this, apart from him?
The two red lotus cultivators who were being watched by Nan Gongwei and Feng Yizhi had lost all ability to think. They had sent the information of the Nine-leaf stage progress in Great Yan back to the Sky Martial Court. However, it seemed like they had jumped the gun. They had underestimated the strength of a Nine-leaf cultivator here!
Lu Zhou looked at Qiong Qi. “Too late.”.
Grrrr!
Lu Zhou knew Qiong Qi was either going to attack or flee.
Lu Zhou shook his head. “I’ll leave your fate to the heavens. It’s up to you to survive this… Thunderblast!”
Lu Zhou flipped his right hand. Unnamed was replaced with a Thunderblast Card.
This was his final Thunderblast Card. There was a sure-kill rate of 1% and a 10% rate of dealing a serious injury.
The Thunderblast Card shattered.
In just an instant, thunder clouds rolled above the nine heavens.
A purple bolt of energy akin to a bolt of lightning appeared. Then, the purple energy struck Qiong Qi.
Boom!
Lu Zhou observed Qiong Qi silently, waiting for the result. There was no announcement of its death nor were there any rewards of merit points.
‘You’re in luck.’
Qiong Qi’s body was charred as though it was struck by actual lightning. Having been heavily injured prior to this, Qiong Qi could no longer support its huge body, and it plummeted to the ground.
The others exclaimed in shock.
Boom!
Qiong Qi crashed onto the ground and destroyed several barns.
Lu Zhou descended, holding a Deadly Strike Card in his hand.
The sky above Yu Province City was once again peaceful.
The cultivators got closer to the barn and looked at where Qiong Qi crashed.
Lu Zhou went up to the place where Qiong Qi was lying.
Qiong Qi blinked. Its body was black. Moreover, its life aura was weak as gossamer.
Lu Zhou frowned slightly… ‘Have I gone overboard? Can I still own it when it’s this wounded?’
He looked at the heavily wounded Qiong Qi and asked, “I can save you if you submit to me.”
Woof!
Qiong Qi barked weakly.
It was a weak bark.
At this time, a notification rang in Lu Zhou’s mind.
“Ding! Qiong Qi is tamed. Master recognition is successful. You are now Qiong Qi’s master. Reward: 5,000 merit points.”
‘I did it!’ Lu Zhou nodded, pleased. Seeing that the beast was charred, he wondered if he should go back on his words and kill Qiong Qi to earn more merit points. “Oh well… since you’ve submitted to me, I shall fulfill my promise.”
Lu Zhou flipped his palm. His remaining extraordinary power surged out before a blue lotus appeared and bloomed.
Vitality swirled around Qiong Qi.
“It’s not enough.” Lu Zhou frowned. He raised his palm again. A Critical Heal Card shattered.
The Buddhist Merciful Ark of Salvation appeared. The double effects of vitality and healing wrapped around Qiong Qi.
Qiong Qi tried to lift its paw, but it could not move. It tried to move its head as well but discovered he could only blink. All it could at this moment was blink its eyes and pant heavily. In the end, it closed its eyes and whimpered once.
