BXBX NOVEL Chapter 654: A Brilliant Peak
Chapter 654: A Brilliant Peak
Jiang Wenxu wiped the blood off his mouth and leaped into the air.
Lu Zhou summoned his avatar. At seemingly the same time, he unleashed his grand technique. “Running away?”
No matter where Jiang Wenxu ran to, Lu Zhou would always catch up with him, and he was always above him.
Boom!
When Lu Zhou’s 150-foot avatar passed by the two huge flying chariots, the impact was so great that the flying chariots were shattered. Parts of the chariots broke off and fell from the sky.
The chanting cultivators could only give up on hovering there and scattered.
Jiang Wenxu fled swiftly. His intention was for the cultivators on the flying chariots to hold Lu Zhou back. However, he did not expect Lu Zhou to give chase with his avatar. He looked up and asked in confusion, “You’re not retracting your avatar?”
“Why should I?”
‘I’m not in short supply of Primal Qi. Why should I retract it?’
Jiang Wenxu was perplexed. How could Lu Zhou spend his Primal Qi without restraint? He was sure that Old Villain Ji had exhausted much of his blue energy. He could not understand this no matter how he thought about it.
The two huge chariots were shattered. Many cultivators scattered. They were worried that they would be caught in the fight.
However, Jiang Wenxu ordered, “What are you waiting for? Get him!”
The cultivators who abandoned their chariots looked at the 150-foot avatar. There was a stifling pressure that could hardly be expressed when they looked at the avatar.
A mob was usually senseless. They would lose rational judgment and become extremely fanatic. However, when the mob was faced with absolute and crushing strength, they would return their senses. This mob of cultivators was finally returning their senses after they witnessed Lu Zhou’s absolute strength.
“Look closely, Jiang Wenxu!” Lu Zhou raised his palm.
Jiang Wenxu was shocked. His instincts told him that Lu Zhou had yet to unleash his full strength up until now.
Lu Zhou immediately launched dozens of palm seals into his surroundings.
“The Buddhist Great Vajra Wheel Hand Sign!”
The fleeing cultivators stared at the shining golden palm seals with their mouths agape.
Jiang Wenxu frowned deeply. He was greatly shaken; he had thoroughly underestimated Lu Zhou’s strength.
“Have you been going all-out since the beginning?”
The Great Vajra Wheel Hand Sign was swift and shocking. It was a powerful palm seal comparable to the Great Seal of Fearlessness. However, the ease in which Lu Zhou cast it made it seem like an ordinary skill,
The Great Vajra Wheel Hand Signs in the air immediately took down the chanting cultivators in the surroundings...
“Ding! Killed 10 Nascent Divinity realm cultivators. Reward: 10,000 merit points. Killed 30 Divine Court realm cultivators. Reward: 300 merit points. The others aren’t counted.”
With barely any time to catch his breath, Jiang Wenxu moved swiftly again as he attempted to run.
Whizz!
Jiang Wenxu was just about to unleash his grand technique when a palm seal descended on him from the sky.
“Did I allow you to leave?”
Boom!
Without his avatar to support him, Jiang Wenxu was sent flying like a fly that had been swatted away. Rich energy swirled around him.
“Avatar.” Jiang Wenxu suppressed his surging blood essence. He was forced to unleash his Hundred Tribulations Insight again.
The red 150-foot avatar stood under the golden avatar.
Lu Zhou glanced at his remaining time... The Royal Tutor, Jiang Wenxu, was the first person to have lasted this long when his Peak Form Card was in effect.
Jiang Wenxu looked up and shot into his avatar. He directed his palms skyward, and his avatar followed suit. Countless red runes appeared on his palms immediately and arranged themselves into a huge energy sword.
“Do you really think that a Nine-leaf cultivator has no tricks up his sleeve?!” Jiang Wenxu pointed the energy sword upward!
Lu Zhou had already prepared himself for this. He looked at the red runic energy sword as Unnamed materialized in his hand. Then, he formed an energy sword around Unnamed!
Jiang Wenxu’s heart shuddered. “Black runes? A desolate-grade weapon?”
If Jiang Wenxu had been surprised by Lu Zhou’s ceaseless ultimate skills, the endless supply of Primal Qi, and constant maintenance of his avatar, the appearance of the black runes struck fear in him. He was not even afraid when Lu Zhou struck with his blue energy.
“Retract!” Jiang Wenxu was frightened now.
“Too late!”
Unnamed, which wrapped in black runes, fell down.
The red energy sword cleaved into two, and Unnamed continued to fall toward the red avatar.
Jiang Wenxu forcibly retracted his avatar! He struck his dantian’s sea of Qi and continued moving swiftly. Red flames emerged from his body at this moment. He chose to ignite his sea of Qi.
Lu Zhou kept up with his pace. His methods were crude and simple. He retracted Unnamed and sent a palm seal downward!
Boom!
Jiang Wenxu grunted.
Lu Zhou kept up with him while maintaining his avatar. Whether it was in terms of speed or condition, Lu Zhou was far superior to Jiang Wenxu.
After burning his sea of Qi, Jiang Wenxu sped up. He made his way east. Alas, he discovered it was futile. However, he did not give up. Only one thought remained in his mind: Run!
The sky was dyed red at this moment.
The red runes Jiang Wenxu had accumulated for centuries that could kill Nine-leaf cultivators were as fragile as a piece of paper before Lu Zhou.
“Do you think you can run away from me?” Lu Zhou’s thunderous voice rang from above.
Jiang Wenxu sped forward ten consecutive times. When he looked up, Lu Zhou’s 150-foot golden avatar was still towering above him.
As the Nine-leaf avatar moved, it did not matter if it was mountains or forests, everything was flattened. It left only destruction in its wake.
Lu Zhou did not care. He had limitless Primal Qi. He would not do this card justice if he did not go all out in his battle.
Jiang Wenxu looked up. “Why?”
“There are many strange things in this wide world. Humans are only a small part of a greater whole... Do you really think you can fool the entire world?” Lu Zhou raised his palm.
A golden palm seal dozens of times larger than the ones before descended from the sky.
The frightened birds took flight in all directions. The fishes of the rivers leaped out in an attempt to flee.
A single leaf of his could obstruct other people’s vision.
A single palm of his could cover the sky!
Jiang Wenxu’s eyes were bloodshot. Over the years, he had enjoyed a high status and was the most powerful person here. How could he come to terms with this end?
“Foolish humans! You insignificant beings! You will certainly pay a heavy price for your idiocy in the end!” Jiang Wenxu summoned his avatar. The red glow of his avatar and the golden lotus were much brighter than before. He unleashed all his Nine-leaf power in an attempt to block Lu Zhou’s mighty palm strike. He directed his palm seal upward.
Could the ant shake the tree?
Boom!
A shockwave rippled out for 100 miles.
The mountains, rivers, and trees were all flattened.
The soundwave spread across the ground into the surroundings.
The Other Tribesmen cultivators from the 12 allied nations looked east.
The cultivators inside Lou Lan’s ancient city stopped whatever they were doing as they listened to the rumbling that was reminiscent of a violent earthquake.
Although Jiang Wenxu had unleashed all his power as a Nine-leaf cultivator, he only managed to stop the huge palm seal for a few seconds. Then, the huge palm seal pressed on unimpeded.
Boom!
This palm strike was not only the manifestation of the Nine-leaf stage’s power, but it was also the product of layers upon layers of Lu Zhou’s limitless energy.
Throughout the entire time, Lu Zhou had been layering palm seals on top of one another. He did not even know how many palm seals he had unleashed. Only when the palm seal reached the ground did he stop.
Everything was quiet.
Lu Zhou kept his avatar activated. He looked at the timer; fifteen minutes had passed. He still had half of the time left.
Where the palm seal struck, there was a five-fingered pit.
Lu Zhou sensed the movements around him... Although he was in peak form, he had to guard against the possibility of the Royal Tutor fleeing with other methods. As he waited, he did not retract his 150-foot avatar at all.
No birds or beasts dared to get close to Lu Zhou.
It was deathly quiet.
Lu Zhou looked at the pit.
Jiang Wenxu lying in the pit, facing the sky. His chest was stained red by his blood. The palm seal had shattered his avatar. On top of burning his sea of Qi, his cultivation base was now forfeit. He suddenly exhaled and chuckled.
When Lu Zhou heard Jiang Wenxu’s forlorn laughter, he knew the so-called Imperial Tutor had completely given up.
There were too many emotions contained in Jiang Wenxu’s laughter: contempt, discontentment, helplessness, resentment, unwillingness, and acceptance.
“You’ve won.” Jiang Wenxu’s voice was extremely frail.
“You thought you could win?” Lu Zhou asked.
“So what if you’ve won?” Jiang Wenxu comforted himself as he said, “The seven allied nations have departed a long time ago. Great Yan will become a living hell.”
Lu Zhou glanced in the direction of Liang Province. “I wouldn’t be so sure about that if I were you.”
At this moment, Lu Zhou finally retracted his avatar and dove. The Fiend Monk Hand Seal grabbed Jiang Wenxu.
“You... What are you trying to do?” Jiang Wenxu asked, puzzled.
Lu Zhou looked in Liang Province’s direction. He moved swiftly!
Realization dawned on Jiang Wenxu. He said, “You’re trying to rush back? Give up... We are both losers in this battle.”
