My Disciples Are All Villains Novel - Chapter 878
Chapter 878: Lu Li’s Choice
Si Wuya stared at the seemingly endless fog. Soon enough, he heard Hua Wudao calling out to him.
“Mister Seventh, hurry!”
Without the sea beasts chasing after them, the pressure on the Sky Shuttle had lessened by a lot.
Si Wuya hovered in the sky as his wings kept flapping, giving him better visibility in the fog. However, no matter where he looked, he could not see Zhu Honggong.
When Hua Wudao saw Si Wuyao showing no sign of moving, he launched a palm seal. “Return!”
When Si Wuya saw the palm seal, he sighed before he reluctantly returned to the Sky shuttle.
…
On the deck of the Sky Shuttle.
Everyone sat limply on the ground, gasping for breath. It was as though they had just survived a huge calamity.
As expected, the two spots of bright lights in the fog had disappeared.
After a moment, Mingshi Yin walked up to Si Wuya and patted Si Wuya’s shoulder as he said, “Eighth Junior Brother has always been blessed by the heavens… Nothing will happen to him!”
At this moment, the Sky Shuttle finally stopped shaking, and everything gradually returned to normal.
After a while, Si Wuya took a deep breath and straightened his back before he said, “I want to contact master!”
“Alright!”
…
Zhu Honggong rode on Dang Kang as they dove from the sky. When he was about to fall into the sea, he found that his field of vision had widened. He hurriedly channeled his vitality energy and wrapped it around Dang Kang.
One man and one boar floated above the surface of the sea at this moment.
Zhu Honggong had no time to recollect his thoughts as he looked at the scene before his eyes in shock.
Dark clouds that seemed to stretch endlessly were above him. Beneath him was the Endless Ocean. At the same time, the scene of fishes jumping over the dragon gate could be seen everywhere around him! The sea churned around him, and he could see many dark shadows darting around in the sea.
“Heavens! Can I take back my words?!”
The sea beasts seemed to have sensed the delicacy above the sea’s surface. They leaped out of the sea in a frenzy with their bloody mouths wide open.
At this time, Zhu Honggong saw a huge sea beast pouncing out of the fog toward him. He yelled, “Go! Go! Go!”
Dang Kang turned around and swiftly flew away, passing by dozens of sea beasts. It flew up and down, trying to get away from the sea beasts.
Splash!
At this moment, a wave that was so high it could reach the fog high up in the sky appeared in front of Zhu Honggong.
At the center of the wave, a sea beast that resembled a crocodile with bumps all over its body poked its head out. Its eyes alone were shockingly big.
Zhu Honggong looked at the sea beast in fear. “It’s over! It’s over! To think I haven’t even gotten married yet!”
The wave stayed crested, looking like a curtain of water, blocking Zhu Honggong’s path. He could only watch helplessly as the sea beast opened its bloody maw and pounced at him.
Just as the sea beast was about to land on Zhu Honggong…
Buzz!
A black lotus appeared above the sea beast.
Boom!
A hammer that seemed as though it weighed 1,000 pounds fell heavily on the sea beast’s head!
At this moment, a huge black astrolabe could be seen at the back of the black avatar. The Birth Charts began to flash brilliantly before they shot out several beams of black light.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The light beams shot toward Zhu Honggong. Some shot past his shoulders, and some shot past his head.
Zhu Honggong was dumbfounded. He turned back to look and saw several sea beasts with their chests pierced.
Plop! Plop! Plop!
The corpses of the sea beasts fell into the sea one after another, staining the water in the area red.
Zhu Honggong turned back to look at the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar again. In the center of the avatar, he saw a man drenched in blood. At the same time, he could sense the man Dantian’s sea of Qi was constantly releasing Primal Qi. When he finally regained his senses, he cried out in surprise, “You burned your sea of Qi?”
“What are you waiting for? Leave!”
Zhu Honggong said in a hurry, “Senior, you’re not… you’re not dead…” Then, he smacked his mouth before he continued to say, “No, I didn’t mean that.”
Zhu Honggong directed Dang Kang toward the black lotus cultivator.
The black lotus cultivator’s brows were tightly knitted as he endured the pain from burning his sea of Qi. He asked, “Why didn’t you heed my advice?”
At this moment, Zhu Honggong saw the sea beast that had tried to attack him earlier floating in the sea. After the heavy blow from the black lotus, blood gushed out of its wound, dyeing the seawater within 100-meter radius red.
After a beat, Zhu Honggong replied, “Seventh Senior Brother said there’s a colossal beast back south. If we move south, we’ll definitely die! Senior, are you alright? You… you vomited blood again…”
“…” The black lotus cultivator did not have time to waste words with Zhu Honggong. He looked at Zhu Honggong and Dang Kang before he said, “You have the aura from the Great Void as well… No wonder you have such a mount!”
“What do you mean?”
“Perhaps, this is fate…”
“Be careful!” Zhu Honggong cried out in alarm.
Numerous sea beasts began to pounce at them from all directions.
The black lotus cultivator pressed his palm down. The Primal Qi from his Dantian’s sea of Qi surged.
The Thousand Realms Whirling avatar moved, stirring up strong and violent wind and causing the waves to rise like a tsunami.
Boom!
The avatar forced the sea beasts back.
“You will die if you continue like this!” Zhu Honggong said anxiously. How could he not be able to tell that person in front of him squeezing out every last drop of his energy?
The black lotus expert did not pay attention to Zhu Honggong as he looked at the sea beasts beneath them.
The seawater within a radius of a few kilometers had turned black. No, it was not that the seawater had turned blacck, but something gargantuan was rising up from below!
This scene was terrifying. Goosebumps erupted on Zhu Honggong’s skin as chills ran up his spine.
The Black Lotus expert grabbed Zhu Honggong before he rose up high into the fog.
Swoosh!
A huge sea beast leaped out of the sea again. Its body and head were riddled with numerous bloody wounds.
“Be careful.” the black lotus cultivator said after he released Zhu Honggong. Then, without another word, he dove back toward the sea.
Just like before, the Birth Charts on the astrolabe behind the black flashed again before they shot out beams of light.
Boom!
The beams of light landed on the sea beast. Coupled with its earlier wounds, the latest injuries caused it to be seriously injured!
Bang!
The black lotus expert extended his arm.
Swoosh!
A crystal with a strange color flew into the black lotus cultivator’s hand.
“It’s life heart!” Zhu Honggong exclaimed in shock.
All of a sudden, the black lotus expert turned around and tossed the life heart toward Zhu Honggong and said, “Catch!”
Zhu Honggong instinctively caught the life heart. He said incomprehensibly, “Ah?! Senior… you… y-you… I…”
“There’s no way for me to return…” the black lotus expert said with a sigh as he shook his head, “You have the Great Void aura on you as well. Hurry up and leave! After it dies, it’ll attract a huge number of sea beasts here…”
“I… I… H-how can I leave?! Senior, you can’t die!” Zhu Honggong put the life heart away in the pocket near his chest before he ordered Dang Kang, “Dang Kang, save him!”
With Zhu Honggong on its back, Dang Kang flew toward the black lotus expert.
“Fool!” the black lotus expert said exasperatedly. At this moment, sea beasts were rushing toward him from all directions at a high speed.
Huge fins slashed through the surface of the sea.
“Didn’t you understand what I said?” The black lotus expert wanted to rebuke Zhu Honggong again to force Zhu Honggong to leave.
“Shut up!” Zhu Honggong said. Energy erupted from his body and formed a protective barrier around the black lotus expert and pulled the black lotus expert to his side.
“You!”
“What do you mean ‘you’? If I don’t save you, you’ll definitely die! Let’s go!” Zhu Honggong said as he directed Dang Kang to the far distance.
Dang Kang flew at lightning speed.
The black lotus expert had never been spoken to in such a manner by a low-level cultivator before. Nevertheless, he did not seem angry. Instead, he sighed and shook his head. “Aren’t you afraid of death?”
“Of course I’m afraid of death! However, what’s the use of being afraid!” Zhu Honggong replied as he stared ahead with eyes flashing brightly with determination.
Dang Kang grunted before it suddenly grew in size again.
“Hmm?” The black lotus expert was stunned when he saw this. “Interesting…”
Numerous sea beasts were still chasing after them.
At this moment, two sea beasts leaped toward them.
The black lotus expert waved his hand, sending a wave of black energy sabers toward the sea beasts.
The sea beasts were instantly cleaved into two.
Then, the black lotus expert said, “We can’t go on like this. Your mount is extraordinary so you still have a chance to escape. Follow my directions and leave me behind.”
Zhu Honggong said resolutely, “I don’t like owing people favors!”
Following that, Zhu Honggong raised his hand. A golden glove appeared around his hand immediately. With that, he swatted the small beasts away.
The black lotus expert seemed to have realized something as he smacked his palm on Zhu Honggong’s back.
“What are you doing?” Zhu Honggong could feel Primal Qi entering his Eight Extraordinary Meridians before it wreaked havoc in his Dantian’s sea of Qi. Soon enough, his sea of Qi released a wave of powerful energy, and a strange light burst out.
The surrounding sea beasts were so frightened that they sank to the bottom of the sea immediately.
“Stop!” Zhu Honggong cried out fiercely.
“I’ve already burned my sea of Qi so I don’t have much time left. I’ll give you as much as I can. It’s better than wasting it by bringing it to the bottom of the sea.”
“Why?” Zhu Honggong asked, confused.
“Because you risked everything just to save me… Now, how much you’ll benefit from this depends on your luck,” the black lotus expert said indifferently as he looked ahead.
Zhu Honggong felt the energy coursing through his Eight Extraordinary Meridians and in his Dantian’s sea of Qi continue to increase.
Soon after, the black lotus expert’s Dantian’s sea of Qi finally stopped burning as it shriveled. An indescribable exhaustion seemed to wash over him as he patted Zhu Honggong’s shoulder and said, “It’s all up to you now…”
When the black lotus expert was about to fall off, Zhu Honggong turned back. He unleashed a stream of energy to stop the black lotus expert from falling as he shouted, “Dang Kang!”
As though it could read Zhu Honggong’s mind, Dang Kang grunted once before it rose higher into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.
