My Disciples Are All Villains Novel - Chapter 714
Chapter 714: Just How Powerful is Yu Shangrong?
Yu Zhenghai initially thought that his Second Junior Brother had done a splendid job and wanted to applaud him. However, upon hearing Yu Shangrong’s question, he was immediately annoyed. Therefore, his reply was only lukewarm. “It’s not bad… Since you decided to expose your avatar, you could’ve killed that Eight-leaf cultivator with a single sword strike if you wanted to.”
“That’s the advantage of hindsight,” Yu Shangrong said.
“Let’s see how you’re going to handle this now.”
The Eight-leaf cultivator, Yun Huan, who was hovering near the flying chariot, was filled with incredulity and pain at the same time. He could hardly believe that Liang Zidao, who was unrivaled among his peers, was injured by an Eight-leaf cultivator. What bothered him even more was that the opponent was chatting as though this was nothing and did not think much about them at all.
After a part of his avatar’s lotus was severed, Liang Zidao flew back for more than 100 meters before he could stabilize his footing. Flames of fury burned in his eyes as he glared at Yu Shangrong with a dark expression. The killing intent and hatred in his eyes were uncontrollably intense. However, anger and hatred did not make him lose his mind or act recklessly.
Liang Zidao ordered, “Yun Huan, report this to Elder Ye Zhen.”
“Understood.” Yun Huang turned around, preparing to leave.
Yu Shangrong smiled faintly. “My apologies, but you can’t leave.” He vanished from sight again and reappeared in front of Yun Huan. His Longevity Sword shone with a faint red light as it thrummed in his grip. He knew the moment he exposed his avatar, he could not let a single one of them leave. After all, his golden avatar gave away his identity as a foreigner. He was confident, not stupid.
Liang Zidao stabilized his injuries and inhaled deeply before he flew forward.
Meanwhile, the Flying Star House’s disciples retreated.
Liang Zidao raised his voice. “Yun Huan, just go. Leave this to me.” He brought a brocade pouch out from his pocket, and from it, he brought out a red pill. Then, he proceeded to put the pill in his mouth and swallowed it. Subsequently, Primal Qi around him surged and changed. Compared to before, it seemed more violent. Clearly, he was absorbing the Primal Qi from his surroundings.
“Tian Buji, you’re colluding with people from the golden lotus domain. They’re foreign tribesmen. If word of this spreads, the Thousand Willow Monastery is surely done for!” Liang Zidao said.
Before seeing the golden avatar, Tian Buji supported Yu Shangrong unconditionally. However, the golden avatar had truly stunned him. He could not help but hesitate. Yu Shangrong was a foreign tribesman, after all!
Wuwu flew in front of Tian Buji and said, “Big brother is a good person!”
Tian Buji. “…”
‘This isn’t a matter of him being a good or a bad person!’
Liang Zidao was not bothered by Tian Buji’s attitude. He said loudly, “Yun Huan, what are you standing around for?!”
“Yes!” Yun Huan flew in another direction.
When Liang Zidao saw that Yu Shangrong was going to give chase, red energy denser than before emerged from his body. Then, the red energy covered his arms.
“Do you think you can stop all of us?” Liang Zidao shot toward Yu Shangrong like a fired arrow.
Yu Shangrong unleashed several energy swords and engaged with Liang Zidao again.
The others were shocked to see Liang Zidao was still capable of unleashing such a bold and powerful move after his part of his red lotus had been severed. Moreover, he seemed to be fighting more valiantly than before.
Liang Zidao stared at Yu Shangrong. “You’re powerful, but, unfortunately, you’ve picked the wrong opponent.”
While Yu Shangrong focused on his sword’s swing, he caught a glimpse of Yun Huan who had traveled quite a distance away…
Liang Zidao followed Yu Shangrong’s gaze and saw Yun Huan.
Suddenly, an emerald beam of light shot toward Yun Huan at lightning speed.
‘What’s that?’
Only Yu Shangrong and Liang Zidao saw this.
When the emerald light was upon Yun Huan, it instantly shot out countless energy sabers.
Yun Huan felt chills on his back. When he turned around, a look of terror appeared on his face. ‘Desolate-grade weapon?’
The energy sabers shot forward and killed Yun Huan.
The sudden change made Liang Zidao frown. He unleashed fiercer streams of energies from his fists and pushed Yu Shangrong away.
At this moment, both opponents faced each other from a distance.
“Yun Huan!” Liang Zidao looked in Yun Huan’s direction.
The other disciples from the Flying Star House were also looking at the descending energy sabers in stunned silence.
The sabers dropped down like a waterfall.
Yun Huan was nowhere to be seen.
Tian Buji had noticed the energy sabers that had suddenly appeared as well. “Golden energy sabers!”
This meant that there was more than one golden lotus invader!
This was also the reason Liang Zidao pushed Yu Shangrong away and retreated.
At this time, the energy sabers faded away. An emerald weapon flew back toward the gazebo and landed in Yu Zhenghai’s hand. He placed it back at its spot on his waist. Then, with his hands resting on his back, he looked up and said, “This is supposed to be a fair fight, how can I allow you to call for reinforcements?”
At this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on Yu Zhenghai.
Liang Zidao asked, “Who are you?”
Yu Zhenghai walked out from the gazebo and slowly walked up into the sky as though he was walking on the ground. When he reached the sky above the gazebo, he drew level with Liang Zidao, Tian Buji, and the others.
“You talk too much.” Yu Zhenghai flew forward.
Yu Shangrong raised his Longevity Sword and said, “Eldest Senior Brother, I’m not finished yet.” He could tell Yu Zhenghai had grown impatient, judging by how he had used the Great Dark Heaven Memorial to kill Yun Huan.
Since Yu Zhenghai had lost at rock-paper-scissors, he had no choice but to restrain himself. In an effort to compromise, he said, “I’ll just kill those who try to leave… Surely this is acceptable, Second Junior Brother?”
Yu Shangrong brought his Longevity Sword down and smiled faintly. “Yes.”
“…”
The others were stunned speechless again, confused by the nature of the relationship between the duo.
…
Meanwhile, the notification of a reward of 5,000 merit points interrupted Lu Zhou’s meditation on the Heavenly Writing scrolls.
He looked at the scenery outside the window as he shook his head and sighed.
He did not know how Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong were faring in the red lotus domain. Based on what he knew, there had to be elites much stronger than the monk, Fa Kong, in the red lotus domain. In Great Yan, his two disciples peerless. However, in the red lotus domain, things were not simple. If they were exposed, they would be labeled as foreign tribesmen and would undoubtedly be attacked. However, this was not what he was most worried about. He was more worried about his two disciples’ pride and obstinacy. In his opinion, instead of knowing when to retreat, they would recklessly charge forward and fight the powerful opponent they encounter.
He had two choices: to go to the red lotus domain to look for them or to wait for them to return.
How should he choose?
…
Liang Zidao looked at the two of them coldly. From the Great Dark Heaven Memorial released by the Jasper Saber, he knew that the newcomer was not a weakling. These two fellow disciples were clearly not ordinary. His expression turned solemn as he said, “In that case, this will be a fight to the death.”
The red energy on Liang Zidao’s body glowed brighter. Clearly, the medicinal pill he consumed had great effects. Without external help, nobody could have unleashed such explosive strength after having part of their lotus severed.
Liang Zidao walked toward Yu Shangrong.
Meanwhile, Yu Zhenghai appeared above the flying chariot. He looked at the cultivator who manned the helm before he walked over to a chair at the side and calmly took a seat. He said, “Nobody moves. Or else, you’ll die.”
Yu Zhenghai found this familiar. He had once liked to sit in this position to look at the lands and the mountains.
The disciples of the Flying Star House were shocked. Many of those who were hovering outside charged toward him when they saw him.
Yu Zhenghai had been watching Yu Shangrong fight for a long time and was itching for a fight as well. He did not even look at the Flying Star House cultivators as he unleashed his energy.
Boom!
The Flying Star House disciples were sent flying back, spitting out blood in the process.
Yu Zhenghai’s expression was cold as he looked ahead.
Liang Zidao’s brows were tightly knitted together. The elite saber user was even more powerful than he had imagined. The saber user was on par with the swordsman in front of him. It seemed like he had run into trouble today.
Meanwhile, Tian Buji gulped before he mumbled, “They’re clearly Eight-leaf cultivators, but why is their strength far stronger than Eight-leaf cultivators?” He was confused.
Tian Buji was not the only one who was confused. Everyone was confused as well.
Liang Zidao cried out as the red energy around his body shone brighter than before, “You killed my disciples! The Flying Star House will never forgive you!”
Liang Zidao flew over again, almost parallel to the ground. His fists shone red as flames of fury burned in his eyes.
Yu Shangrong felt the pressure this time so he no longer held back. He let go of his Longevity Sword and joined his palms together.
Primal Restoration.
The plants around Yu Shangrong swayed, and the tiles on the gazebo flew out.
The swords in the hands of the Flying Star House’s disciples were pulled away.
Ji Fengxing’s saber and sword rose into the air as well.
At this moment, countless energy swords were merging.
Li Zidao attacked with his fists with a flurry of movements. He parried the energy swords with his punches.
The energy swords were relentless. They continued their assaults as they spun and thrust forward.
The sky was covered by Yu Shangrong’s energy swords and Liang Zidao’s red punches.
Tian Buji was greatly shaken when he saw this and hastily ordered, “Stand back.”
Ji Fengxing wondered out loud in awe, “Just how powerful are big brother’s sword techniques?” In his eyes, Yu Shangrong became even braver and more powerful as he fought. His understanding of Yu Shangrong was constantly being refreshed.
