My Disciples Are All Villains Novel - Chapter 894
Chapter 894: Deadly Strike
Lu Zhou silently left Sky Martial Mountain like a gust of wind and flew toward the towering mountain range before coming to a stop between two remote mountain peaks.
Following that, he manifested his Thousand Realms Whirling avatar.
Buzz!
When the familiar buzzing noise rang in the air, the birds took flight and the beasts on land scampered away.
Lu Zhou studied his Thousand Realms Whirling avatar. There were not many changes in his avatar apart from the most obvious one being its height that had increased by 50 feet. Apart from that, his avatar did not gain a crown as well. Nevertheless, he did not care about such useless flashy things.
After that, he shifted his attention to the golden astrolabe at the back of his avatar. He could not help but wonder to himself, “What would it look like if all 36 Birth Charts are activated?”
After activating all the Birth Charts, if he wanted to use their powers all at once, would the power surge cause the astrolabe to explode? It would be fine if he did not attempt such a thing, but it would definitely be problematic if he wanted to do something like that.
Lu Zhou shook his head. ‘It’s useless to think about it now. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.’
Subsequently, he mobilized the power of his third Birth Chart. The zone of the third Birth Chart in the Birth Palace flickered immediately.
Lu Zhou looked at a mountain in the distance, and with just a thought, a beam of light that burned with golden flames shot out of the third Birth Chart on the golden astrolabe.
Whoosh!
Boom!
The beam of light easily penetrated the mountain.
Huge rocks began to roll down the mountain as a huge flame began to burn. It did not take long before the rocks rolling down the mountain were on fire as well.
He wondered if this was part of the ability to control fire?
“I can use the Birth Chart’s power four times previously. After activating the third Birth Chart, how many times can I use the power?” Lu Zhou wondered out loud.
He looked at the mountain again. In any case, it was already destroyed. It made no difference if he tested his strength on the mountain again.
Lu Zhou’s avatar faced the mountain as his third Birth Chart kept shooting beams of light out of his golden astrolabe.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lu Zhou inwardly counted every beam of light that shot out of the golden astrolabe until the third Birth Chart zone dimmed.
“Twelve times?” This meant that every time he activated a Birth Chart, the number of times he could use the power from the Birth Charts increased by four times. Naturally, he was not completely certain this would stay the same with every subsequent activation of a Birth Chart in the future.
On another note, he was rather satisfied that he could use the Birth Chart powers twelve times. The force of this power would be devastating to those below the Thousand Realms Whirling stage. If Ye Zhen were to stand in front of him now, just the Birth Chart powers alone could crush his bones and reduce him to ashes.
After a moment, Lu Zhou wondered what would happen if he was fighting an opponent with a similar cultivation base, and he used his supreme mystic power along with the Birth Chart powers. How big would his advantage be if he used his supreme mystic power?
With this thought in mind, Lu Zhou frowned slightly. “I should’ve saved more of my supreme mystic power so I can test it.”
Lu Zhou continued to hover in the air. He was very satisfied with the destructive power and the effect of the third Birth Chart.
He wondered how long the karmic fire would burn. If he let it burn, he was sure that the fire would burn for hundreds of miles like the fires on earth. After a moment, he decided to test his supreme mystic power even though he did not have much left.
He pushed his hands out, and a blue palm seal shot out.
Boom!
It landed on the area that was on fire.
The mountain had suffered 12 blows from Lu Zhou’s third Birth Chart and was on the brink of collapsing. With the palm seal, it collapsed completely.
…
On the other side of the collapsed mountain.
No one knew how much time had passed when a man with a dirty face ran out of the ruins. He pointed at the heavens and coughed violently before he cried out, “Heavens, what did I do wrong? I haven’t sworn on the heavens after almost getting struck to death previously! I even moved to a different place, but you still struck me! Don’t you think you’ve crossed a line? You even struck me so many times this time around! It’s really painful!”
…
Back in the Literary Star Hall.
Lu Zhou was aware of his strength. Therefore, he felt that it was enough. At this time, the only trump card he had was his supreme mystic power. Others also possessed Birth Charts, weapons, and karmic fires so those things could not be counted. Moreover, those people were old and cunning foxes who had lived a long time; how could they not possess a treasure or two?
After a moment, he brought Unnamed out. He had already used the black runes on it. With what he knew now, he thought it was likely that the black runes were from the black lotus domain. This meant that future opponents from the black lotus domain would have stronger offensive power.
Lu Zhou remained calm and called up the system.
Merit points: 48,630
“Draw.”
“Ding. Used 50 merit points. Obtained: Reversal Cards x10.”
Currently, he felt the Reversal Cards were no longer of use. His lifespan had been prolonged to roughly 2,600 years now, after all.
“Hmm, how about using my life to activate a Birth Chart next time?” Lu Zhou thought for a moment. He would try to study this method in the future.
His disciples’ cultivation bases were not high enough yet. At some point in the future, the need for Birth Chart Hearts would grow greater.
“Draw.”
“Ding! Used 50 merit points. Thank you for your participation. Luck +1.”
Lu Zhou was thanked ten times for his participation over the next ten consecutive draws.
Perhaps, he had drawn too many lucky draws, he had come to the conclusion there was no pattern to the system of the lucky draw. Therefore, he was not burdened and continued to draw as he pleased without thinking too much about whether he would strike the jackpot or not.
“Draw.”
“Ding! Used 50 merit points. Luck +11. Obtained: Synthesis Card x1.”
“Synthesis Card?” Lu Zhou’s heart skipped a beat when he saw the new card. There was finally something new from the system! It was only natural that he was excited; one would grow tired if one had to eat the same dish every day, after all.
“Synthesis Card. You can synthesize three of the same cards to enhance its effect.”
“Is that useful?” Lu Zhou stroked his beard and wondered to himself. As it happened, the Deadly Strike Card’s effect had weakened considerably. What would happen if enhance its strength?
After a moment, he continued making draws.
Time flew by in just a blink of an eye.
When Lu Zhou looked at his luck points the next morning he discovered he had accumulated 220 luck points.
He felt cheated. 200 luck points were already the highest in his lucky draw history. After breaking that record, if he continued on, it would be difficult for him to break his own record in the future.
He had been drawing the entire night and had been thanked the entire night. It was impossible for this streak to continue, right? As long as he managed to draw something, he would stop.
“Draw.”
“Ding! Used 50 merit points and 220 luck points. Obtained: Reversal Card x10, fire spirit stone x3, Deadly Strike Card x1.”
Lu Zhou’s mentality had long been trained by the system to be unshakeable. When he saw the rewards, he only nodded in satisfaction. Put everything else aside, obtaining a Deadly Strike Card offset all his losses.
One Deadly Strik Card cost 26,000 merit points while one night of lucky draws cost slightly more than 10,000 merit points.
‘Not bad.’ Lu Zhou still had 36,980 merit points left.
The Synthesis Card would only synthesize three of the same cards…
After a brief moment, Lu Zhou decisively spent 26,000 merit points to buy another Deadly Strike Card. He was left with 10,980 merit points.
“I still need another one… Forget it. It’s not too late to synthesize the cards in the future.”
Moreover, these two Deadly Strike Cards should be sufficient for now. If Yi Yao came to seek revenge, he should still be able to take Yi Yao down.
Lu Zhou was about to rise to his feet when…
“Ding! Worshiped by 32,340 people. Reward: 32,340 merit points.”
“Ding! Worshiped by 12, 034 people. Reward: 0 merit points.”
Lu Zhou’s heart thumped once loudly in excitement. “Where’s Old Eighth exactly?”
He wondered if his eighth disciple had returned to Great Yan and become a local tyrant?
After a moment, he closed his eyes and recited the mantra to activate the Heavenly Writing Power.
Soon enough, a puzzling scene appeared in front of Lu Zhou’s eyes.
Zhu Honggong stood on a high platform calmly as he manifested his Eight-and-half-leaf avatar.
Meanwhile, cultivators in all directions prostrated themselves on the ground.
“The sect leader’s divine might will last for thousands of generations!”
“The sect leader’s divine might will last for thousands of generations!”
“The sect leader’s divine might will last for thousands of generations!”
Upon closer inspection, Lu Zhou saw three corpses strewn on the platform. He muttered to himself skeptically, “Is Old Eighth rebelling and trying to snatch the throne from Zhao Yue?”
‘What Sect Leader? Why didn’t he return to the Evil Sky Pavilion?’ Lu Zhou had already found it strange the previous times he checked in on Zhu Honggong. At that time, he thought, perhaps, Zhu Honggong missed the feeling of being a leader; he was once the fierce leader of the Tigerridge Gang after all. After being forced to disband, it was understandable he wanted to stand a high place again. However, this time, his eighth disciple was being worshiped by almost 40,000 to 50,000 people! This kind of power, even if it was not much, could not be underestimated. He did not understand why his disciple was creating such a huge following for himself.
At this moment, Zhu Hong Gong withdrew his avatar and said in an indifferent but clear voice, “There’s no need for formalities…”
Lu Zhou thought to himself, ‘Indeed, he’s worthy of being my disciple. He possesses a little bit of my style…’
Following that, Zhu Honggong suddenly turned to the side and said, barely able to suppress his excitement, “Senior, senior, what do you think? Do I look cool?”
Lu Zhou. “…”
He really had to give it to this disciple of his.
At this moment, a figure dove from the sky at top speed. He wielded a sharp blade in his hand and was stabbing it in the direction of Zhu Honggong’s face.
Upon seeing this, Lu Zhou instinctively lifted his hand to intervene.
Boom!
A loud explosion rang in the air as he shattered a table in the Literary Star Hall.
