Chapter 544: You’re No Match for Me Even with My Eyes Closed
Liu Ge was finally making a move. He looked like a bolt of lightning as he flew in the air. His sword was not ostentatious; the red veins did not stand out as well.
Since the trio was locked in a melee, they did not notice Liu Ge’s sword coming at them.
Like a meteor, Liu Ge shot past Su Sheng and Gu Yiran toward Huang Shijie.
Bam!
High Void’s energy sword collided with the black umbrella.
An explosion of energy rang in the air.
The trio was sent flying by this strange power.
A chip appeared on the black umbrella. Huang Shijie felt chills running up his spine when the sword energy shot through the black umbrella and pierced through his protective energy.
Bam!
Huang Shijie reeled back.
The black umbrella fell.
“Nine-leaf?” Huang Shijie looked incredulously at the falling black umbrella. He spat out a mouthful of blood. The first thought that appeared in his mind was that Liu Ge was a Nine-leaf cultivator. He kept reeling.
Su Sheng and Gu Yiran stabilized their footing and greeted Liu Ge in unison. “Your Majesty.”
When they saw High Void in Liu Ge’s hand, they finally realized the box held the sword.
“I hope you’ll be able to withstand another hit from my sword.” Liu Ge circulated his Primal Qi. High Void vibrated.
When Huang Shijie saw the sword in Liu Ge’s hand, his heart sank. An ominous feeling rose within him.
Mingshi Yin appeared to be worried as well. He was the one who called Huang Shijie over. If something happened to Huang Shijie, how was he supposed to explain it to his master?
Boom!
A loud explosion rang from the direction of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
The others looked over and saw a puzzling scene.
A faint blue light shrouded Lu Zhou as he crashed through the ceiling of the hidden chamber and rose into the sky. He sat with his legs crossed, and his eyes were still closed.
“Master?”
“The pavilion master has emerged from his cultivation in seclusion?”
The Evil Sky Pavilion disciples looked up.
“What’s happening?”
Nobody understood what was happening.
Liu Ge stopped his movements and looked at Lu Zhou.
Su Sheng and Gu Yiran looked at Lu Zhou as well.
When Lu Zhou appeared, the Evil Sky Pavilion’s four elders emerged from the pavilion and looked at the heavens.
The other disciples flew up the southern pavilion and watched from a distance.
Liu Ge held High Void in a backhand grip and kept it behind himself. He cupped his fists at Lu Zhou. “Brother Ji, we meet again.”
“Greetings, Senior Ji.” Su Sheng and Gu Yiran bowed in the air.
Yet, Lu Zhou’s eyes remained shut. He did not seem to have heard them.
Lu Zhou flew out of the barrier and stopped in the skies, dozens of meters away from the barrier.
Liu Ge drew level with Lu Zhou. As far as he could see, he was surrounded by mountains, rivers, and forests.
Lu Zhou did not respond to him.
Liu Ge repeated himself. “Brother Ji, we meet again.”
Lu Zhou remained silent.
Su Sheng said in a hushed voice, “Your Majesty, be careful.”
Suddenly, Gu Yitan raised his palm and sent a palm seal over.
The palm seal was instantly upon Lu Zhou.
Bam!
The palm seal scattered and vanished without a trace!
“Hm?”
What was happening?
Gu Yiran was baffled. He looked at Liu Ge and said, “Your Majesty, I was just trying to probe Senior Ji. Please forgive me.”
“Probe?” Liu Ge glanced at Gu Yiran. “If there had been an ounce of selfishness in your actions, I wouldn’t forgive you.”
Gu Yiran’s back broke out in cold sweat upon hearing this. He bowed and said, “I dare not!”
This was not the time for internal quarrels.
Liu Ge looked at Lu Zhou who was sitting cross-legged in the air, still shrouded by a faint blue light. “Congratulations on coming out from your cultivation in seclusion, Brother Ji.” He had infused powerful Primal Qi into his words, and they resounded thunderously. Every syllable struck at the faint blue light around Lu Zhou.
Liu Ge’s sound technique was instantly nullified! It had no effect whatsoever.
...
“What cultivation method is master using?” Zhu Honggong’s eyes widened. He was standing in the southern pavilion.
“A defensive cultivation method like the Golden Buddha Body, but I’ve never seen this before.”
...
Lu Zhou was lost in the power...
To gain the power to hear everything so that we can hear voices in all realms at will.
This was the first power of the Heavenly Writing’s Earth Scroll, the Clear Heavenly Ears.
It could be used to listen and to filter out sounds.
The sounds of the outside world were completely blocked out. This included sound techniques.
Liu Ge’s expression was grave as he said, “As expected, Brother Ji is at the Nine-leaf stage.”
Lu Zhou had used his power to activate the armor’s power before this. It was clear that the extraordinary power was beyond the Nine-leaf stage. It was not surprising that Liu Ge would have such thoughts.
Liu Ge continued to say, “If that’s the case, please forgive me, Brother Ji. For the safety and peace of the world, I’m willing to be cursed for betraying a brother and a friend!”
Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!
HIgh Void thrummed in Liu Ge’s hand.
Su Sheng and Gu Yiran watched with an expectant expression on their faces. They knew Liu Ge was about to attack the only Nine-leaf cultivator in the world.
Liu Ge flipped his right hand and pointed High Void at Lu Zhou. A word seal appeared.
Swoosh!
His expression remained grave. He was calm as he watched the sword energy shoot toward Lu Zhou’s chest like a bullet.
The Evil Sky Pavilion’s disciples, elder, female cultivators, and Huang Shijie widened their eyes as they witnessed this scene. All of them cried out in unison.
“Master!”
“Pavilion Master!”
“Brother Ji!”
The sword seal seemed to be capable of passing time and space as it sailed across the sky. With its lightning speed, it drew close to Lu Zhou.
Bam!
The blue light suddenly converged at one point.
Liu Ge was sent flying back for ten meters. He flipped in the air and quickly stabilized his footing. Then, he raised his wizened hand, and High Void returned to him. His eyes widened when he looked at Lu Zhou. “He parried High Void?”
When Liu Ge was still on the throne, he had secretly tested High Void’s might. He was certain that High Void could break a heaven-grade weapon. Ever since then, he kept High Void a tightly guarded secret. The sword was his trump card. The mysterious elite had once said that there should not be a Nine-leaf cultivator in the world. He was supposed to cut the person down with this sword if a Nine-leaf cultivator appeared. The mysterious elite had left behind a chant that could be used to activate the red veins on High Void.
Liu Ge looked at the red veins on High Void and no longer hesitated. For the people, for Great Yan, for the Imperial family, he could not allow a Nine-leaf cultivator to exist!
Liu Ge attacked again. The sword sliced through the air.
The blue energy appeared again, forming an impenetrable barrier around Lu Zhou.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Afterimages appeared fleetingly in the sky as Liu Ge shot to the left and right, moving at a blinding speed. Every time he moved, he would conjure up an energy sword to strike the blue energy.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The energy swords rained down like a tempest! His rhythm picked up as well.
This scene reminded everyone of the Sword Devil, Yu Shangrong.
“Your Majesty...” Su Sheng gulped.
Gu Yiran said, “No wonder His Majesty is bold enough to come here...”
At this moment, Liu Ge suddenly stopped moving and hovered before Lu Zhou. He held High Void between his palms as he chanted.
The red veins shone brighter.
Liu Ge was delighted. He looked at Lu Zhou, who was still sitting cross-legged in the air, pointedly. Then, he cried out in a deep voice, “Go!”
With High Void at the center, the energy sword enlarged and sliced down.
The huge energy sword collided with the blue energy!
Boom!
The aftershock from the collision rippled outward.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
In just a blink of an eye, Liu Ge, Su Sheng, and Gu Yiran were hit by the shockwave. The three of them reeled back.
Since Liu Ge was standing the closest to the point of collision, the shockwave struck him square on the chest. He spat out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying back.
The entire place was deathly silent.
The huge energy sword had vanished as well.
High Void fell slowly before it struck the barrier with a clang.
The red veins dimmed.
Upon seeing this, Liu Ge was confused. However, more than anything else, he was frightened. From the beginning until the end, Lu Zhou did not open his eyes at all. He did not even defend himself, at least not knowingly. And yet, nobody could move him. What was wrong?
Huang Shijie’s thoughts were complicated as he watched from afar. He mumbled to himself, “If Brother Ji is so strong, what am I doing here?” He decided to just watch.
Meanwhile, the Evil Sky Pavilion’s four elders watched with their mouths agape. Their mouths felt dry at this moment.
“... he’s not even doing anything?”
“The pavilion master’s eyes are still shut.”
“Is he asleep?”
“I’ve never conceded to anyone throughout my entire life. The pavilion master is the first person.”
