My Disciples Are All Villains Novel - Chapter 844
Chapter 844: Heaven-defying Techniques
Xuan Chengzi, the Daoist from the Void Sect, Mo Xinglu from the True Kunlun Sect, and the injured Nine-leaf cultivators were puzzled.
Why did Yu Chenshu talk to a relatively young man and address him as Brother Lu? Who was this person?
Those who could rise high above the Sky Wheel Mountain Range were Nine-leaf cultivators. Those with fewer leaves had long retreated. Those who reached the Nine-leaf stage had, at least, 700 to 800 years of life. There were some who were even 1,000 years old. To a 1,000-year-old cultivator, Lu Zhou indeed looked like a young man.
“You decided to play along?” Lu Zhou looked around but could not see any traps.
Most, if not all, of the Nine-leaf cultivators on Sky Wheel Mountain Range were injured.
Meanwhile, Xuan Chengzi and Mo Xinglu were injured as well.
Only the trio from the Sky Martial Court was as normal.
In Lu Zhou’s opinion, Si Wuya’s plan had already succeeded. Indeed, he could have continued to hide and watch the tigers fight to the end before he swooped in to reap the benefits. However, plans could not always keep up with the changes. Although he had been exposed, he did not think it was a huge problem at all. Moreover, he had already gained a certain understanding of Yu Chenshu’s abilities and strength. Apart from that, in terms of life-saving techniques and trump cards, he was confident he was not inferior to Yu Chenshu at all.
Yu Chenshu cupped his fists together at Lu Zhou before he said, “I’ve long heard of your name. In my opinion, the person who can kill Ye Zhen must also be able to kill the Yong. Brother Lu deliberately released the Birth Chart Beast just to cause a fight. At that time, the golden lotus domain would launch a large-scale invasion.”
Lu Zhou glanced at Yu Chenshu. In fact, he did not think that far, but he had to admit Yu Chenshu’s train of thoughts was rather reasonable. In the end, he said, “Yu Chenshu, you don’t look like a foolish person to me.”
Yu Chenshu said, “In fact, both of us don’t have enmity. Alas, we stand on opposing sides. Both of us are destined to be enemies.”
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “There’s no natural enemy in this world. You can’t blame others for your sins. If you’re willing to turn back, I might consider sparing your life.”
Everyone was stunned when they heard Lu Zhou’s words. They wondered where he got the confidence to say such words to Yu Chenshu.
Yu Chenshu waved his arm and said, “Just have a look around you…”
In the Sky Wheel Mountain Range, various sects and hordes of cultivators surrounded every direction.
“Is this your plan?” The only thing Lu Zhou felt regretful about was that Xia Housheng, the hidden expert in the palace, did not appear. However, it did not matter. Moreover, no matter how many people came, it was useless.
Yu Chenshu said with a smile, “You’ll know soon enough.” As soon as he finished speaking, he dove. His eyes shone with determination as he extended his arms forward. His palms shone with a blood-red light.
Whether it was the people from the True Kunlun Sect, the Void Sect, or the cultivators around Sky Wheel Mountain Range, all of them watched the scene unfolding before them in a daze.
Who was the middle-aged man for Yu Chenshu to treat him so seriously?
At this time, Yu Chenshu’s red palm seal flew straight toward Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou’s expression did not change at all as he slowly raised his hand that shone with a dazzling golden light.
“Foreign tribesman!”
“He’s a foreign tribesman!”
Under the cultivators’ watchful eyes, the red palm seal and the golden palm seal collided.
Bang!
The shockwave from the collision of energies rippled out immediately.
The Nine-leaf cultivators watching the battle had no choice but to activate their protective energies to protect themselves from the shockwave.
The cultivators were further shocked when they saw not only did the flames surge from the red palm seal, but the golden palm seal burned with flames as well!
The battle seemed to be at a stalemate at this moment.
“Karmic fire!”
“Golden karmic fire? There’s such a hidden elite in the territories of Great Tang!?”
The most unlucky person was Wei Junzi who was lying on the ground near Lu Zhou. He was burned by the red and golden karmic fire until his face turned red. His body was burning, and he cried out in excruciating pain. The color of his skin was changing and his eight extraordinary meridians were damaged. Unfortunately, no one cared if he lived or died. He could not blame people for being callous and disregarding his cries for help. After all, when two super elites were battling, who would dare to approach?
Whoosh!
The red karmic fire rose from the ground up until it was several feet high.
On the other hand, the golden karmic fire did not lose ground and surged high up as well.
Needless to say, one’s karmic fire was unable to harm the user and would only burn and injure the opponents.
Now that both opponents possessed karmic fires, the only thing left was to see whose karmic fire was stronger.
The golden palm seal and the red palm seal continued to struggle against each other.
Yu Chenshu continued hovering in the air as he looked at the golden karmic fire. A hint of surprise flashed across his face as he murmured, “It’s really karmic fire!”
“Are you surprised?” Lu Zhou asked indifferently.
From the time when Lu Zhou had left the Yong here to the battles earlier, the battle between him and Yu Chenshu had only just begun.
The other cultivators and their conflicts and greed were nothing in the face of Lu Zhou and Yu Chenshu’s battle.
“It’s not surprising… Moreover, for many years, I’ve dreamed about meeting an elite whom I can fight to my heart’s content. It seems like my dream came true today. Isn’t lonely to stand at the peak alone?” Yu Chenshu was clearly in high spirits.
“I don’t think it’s lonely to stand at the peak alone… However, I know that the fall from the peak would be very miserable,” Lu Zhou replied.
Buzz!
Both opponents increased the output of their Primal Qi. The karmic fires rose another 30 feet.
“Ahh!” Wei Junzi could no longer endure the karmic fires. He let out a final wretched cry before he was reduced to ashes.
“Ding! One target killed. Obtained 500 merit points. Obtained domain bonus 500 merit points.
The burning karmic fires made the battle even more intense.
However, both opponents remained calm.
“If this is all you have, I’m afraid it’s far from enough.” Yu Chenshu pushed his palm out and an even more powerful red energy shot out. “Retreat.”
Buzz!
While the karmic fires struggled against each other, Lu Zhou did not move at all.
Upon seeing this, a puzzled expression appeared on Yu Chenshu’s face.
“You’re right. If that’s all you have, I’d be really disappointed…” Lu Zhou’s palm glowed with barely noticeable blue light before his extraordinary power surged out.
A power completely different from the golden energy exploded immediately.
Boom!
Yu Chenshu could sense the danger coming at him. He immediately withdrew his hand and flipped backward in the air more than ten times. When he finally came to a stop, he looked at Lu Zhou who was still standing in the same spot in shock.
The stalemate had finally been broken. At this moment, Yu Chenshu was at a disadvantage.
Meanwhile, Mo Buyan and Jian Tingzhong were shocked as well. They had followed Yu Chenshu for many years and had never met anyone who could force Yu Chenshu to retreat. Even the combined forces of the Void Sect’s Xuan Chengzi and the True Kunlun Sect’s Mo Xinglu could not force Yu Chenshu back.
Yu Chenshu maintained his flight in the sky and said, “Good move.”
Lu Zhou circulated energy under his feet before he leaped up and flew up into the sky. Then, he calmly said, “I’m afraid you still don’t understand the situation you’re in…”
“I can say to you as well…” Yu Chenshu said confidently.
If one could fight, why should one let oneself be wronged?
Lu Zhou took the initiative to strike and pushed his palm forward again. The energy that shot out was like a bolt of lightning that burned with golden flames as it sailed in the air like a shooting star.
Yu Chenshu raised his palm to deflect the strike.
Bang!
As soon as the energy landed on Yu Chenshu’s palm, he felt a strange aura. The force of the attack sent him flying back. He discovered that his arm was numb before it began to hurt. He was shocked.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhou’s expression did not change at all. He leaped again and struck with his palm again and again.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Just like that, Yu Chenshu was pushed back again.
All the cultivators present on the scene. “…”
It was too unbelievable! What kind of heaven-defying technique was this?
The cultivators that surrounded the Sky Wheel Range Mountain watched in disbelief.
Everyone knew Yu Chenshu was the strongest person in the Sky Martial Court. Not only was he a Ten-leaf elite, but he was also a karmic fire user. How could someone like that be defeated so easily?
The cultivators even began to wonder if the battle was staged.
Meanwhile, Mo Buyan and Jian Tingzhong rubbed their eyes before they watched the battle again.
Bang!
This was the fourth palm strike.
Yu Chenshu retreated to the edge of the Sky Wheel Mountain Range. If he retreated any further, he would be leaving the mountain range.
Lu Zhou who had gained the upper hand again with his fourth palm strike asked, “Is this all you’re capable of?”
Yu Chenshu’s face twitched slightly. He was clearly angered now. As he opened his right hand, he said, “I hope you won’t disappoint me!”
A small black object that resembled a three-story pagoda appeared in Yu Chenshu’s palm.
When Lu Zhou saw the object, he said, “Confinement Seal?”
“You have a good eye.” Yu Chenshu did not hesitate to toss the Confinement Seal out.
The Confinement Seal suddenly turned thousands of times bigger, looking like a real three-story pagoda. It formed a cage as it shot above Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou looked up and lifted his hand. A huge palm appeared and grabbed the Confinement Seal.
At this moment, Yu Chenshu flew toward the top of the pagoda and landed on it. He stomped heavily on the pagoda. “Down!”
Bang!
With that, the Confinement Seal seemed as heavy as 1,000 tonnes.
Lu Zhou dropped down more than ten meters before a barely noticeable blue light began to shine from between his fingers again.
Originating from nothing, from it comes everything. Living in samsara and learning from it. This was the power of past lives.
The huge palm pushed up again. Not only did the Confinement Seal fail to drop down, but it was rising up rapidly instead.
“Huh?” Yu Chenshu frowned and bent down to smack the pagoda thrice.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
However, the three smacks only halted the rise of the pagoda for a brief moment before it continued to fly up again. Apart from that, its speed was increasing as well!
In just a moment, it was high up in the air where Primal Qi was thin.
Yu Chenshu’s expression turned grim immediately. “I’ve underestimated you!”
Yu Chenshu jumped down from the pagoda. When he landed at the bottom, he launched red palm seals that covered the sky.
Lu Zhou withdrew the huge palm and turned around, deciding to create a Confinement Seal of his own. and walked into the pagoda instead!
Bang Bang Bang Bang!
Meanwhile, the golden energy and the karmic fire deflected the countless red palm seals.
While Lu Zhou was casting Confinement Seal, he pushed his palm out as he increased the output of his extraordinary power:
“Get down!”
Lu Zhou’s blue palm was dazzling. It overwhelmed all the red palm seals and flew toward Yu Chenshu’s face.
Yu Chenshu was shocked as he blocked the blue palm seal. “Blue palm seal?!”
Boom!
The blue palm seal pressed Yu Chenshu down.
Buzz!
The extraordinary power was capable of extinguishing karmic fire. Just like splashing water on ordinary fire, sizzling noises rang in the air as the extraordinary power extinguished the red karmic fire.
The pressure on Yu Chenshu doubled immediately. He was drenched in sweat as he shouted, “Confinement Seal!”
The Confinement Seal rapidly shrank as it flew down in front of Yu Chenshu. Then, it grew larger again, helping him to hold off against the blue palm seal.
Boom!
At this moment, fireworks bloomed in the sky.
The blue palm seal finally shattered in a dazzling manner.
However, in order to destroy the palm seal, Yu Chenshu and the Confinement Seal were sent flying.
“This…” Jian Tingzhong said gravely, “Blue palm seal… Does this mean he’s not from the golden lotus domain?”
Mo Buyan hurriedly said, “We’re in big trouble. Elder Jian, leave with the life heart and call for reinforcements!”
“Alright.” Jian Tingzhong held onto the life heart and prepared to leave.
However, Jian Tingzhong’s actions did not escape Mo Xinglu and Xuan Chengzi’s notice. They regained their senses immediately.
“Stop them! You can’t leave!” Xuan Chengzi stared at Jian Ting Zhong and Mo Buyan.
Jian Tingzhong said in a deep voice, “Do you really want to go against the Sky Martial Court?”
“So what if I go against the Sky Martial Court? Hand over the life heart!” Xuan Chengzi said. However, his momentum was not that strong as he began to cough after he finished speaking.
