Jian Tingzhong said, “You’re already injured!”
“It’s enough to stop you,” Xuan Chengzi said.
Mo Xinglu flew in another direction and blocked Jian Tingzhong and Mo Buyan.
Two Ten-leaf elites were more than enough to stop two Nine-leaf cultivators even if they were injured.
Moreover, most of the other Nine-leaf cultivators had already lost their ability to fight. It was considered good enough if they could fly, how could they fight?
Jian Ting Zhong raised his head and looked at Yu Chenshu.
At this time, Yu Chenshu had unleashed his power again in the air, holding onto the Confinement Seal.
“Court Master Yu hasn’t even unleashed all his strength yet. Do you really think this is the extent of his strength?” Jian Tingzhong asked.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Chengzi and Mo Xinglu looked at the sky cautiously. They hoped Yu Chenshu and Lu Zhou would fight each other until both of them were heavily injured. At that time, they would be able to reap the benefits.
At this moment, Yu Chenshu looked at Lu Zhou, who was looking down at him, angrily. Following that, he struck with his palm again.
A small red palm seal that looked incredibly ordinary shot out. However, when it arrived in front of Lu Zhou, it rapidly expanded by dozens of feet.
Lu Zhou had expected this. At this moment, his whole body was shrouded by golden flames like a Buddha.
Bzzt!
Just like that, Lu Zhou nullified the red palm seal.
“A Buddhist elite!?”
Even when Lu Zhou was in the golden lotus domain, he had already mastered the techniques from the school of Confucian, Buddhism, and Taoism. When he used the Golden Buddha Body, he no longer needed to rely on an item card or his extraordinary power.
The Ten-leaf Golden Buddha Body that was bathed in golden flames was dazzling. With the sun shining down on him, he looked like a divine being, filling people with the urge to worship him.
The weak cultivators present on the scene gulped. They could not bear to look away from the Golden Buddha Body in the sky.
Soon enough, Lu Zhou withdrew the Golden Buddha Body, and he dove. At the same time, he made a few twisting motions with his right hand before he pushed it forward.
“The Nine Cut Hand Seals!”
The Sole Diamond Seal, the Great Blitz Treasure Seal, the Outer Circle Mystic Seal, the Inner Eight World Seals, the Fetterless Seal, the Pantheon Seal, the Eight Trigrams Seal, the Magic Gourd Seal, and the Sun Moon Seal appeared, corresponding with the Nine Cut Hand Seals. Each of the seals was related to the nine mantras. The seals revolved around nine palm seals. Most terrifyingly, the palm seals were also shrouded in golden karmic flames!
At this moment, the nine palm seals struck.
For a long time now, Yu Chenshu had never felt threatened. He had never felt so much pressure as he did today. He glared at Lu Zhou and raised the small pagoda in his hand. The Confinement Seal instantly enlarged to form a barrier, shielding him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The nine palm seals struck the Confinement Seal, producing a thunderous noise.
With each hit from a palm seal, Yu Chenshu would fall for dozens of meters.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhou drew closer and closer to Yu Chenshu.
When the fifth palm seal struck, Yu Chenshu’s back hit the cliff.
Boom!
Yu Chenshu tried with all his might to maintain the Confinement Seal to block the remaining palm seals.
The next four palm seals struck one after another.
With each palm strike, Yu Chenshu and the Confinement Seal were pressed harder against the cliff.
When the last palm seal struck, Yu Chenshu was completely stuck in the cliff wall.
At this moment, the sky above Sky Wheel Mountain Range was as silent as a graveyard. The air was incredibly still now that the raging energies had dissipated.
Although Lu Zhou’s palm seals were powerful, Yu Chenshu should have been able to deal with them. After all, they were both Ten-leaf elites and karmic fire users. Moreover, Yu Chenshu also wielded the flood-grade weapon.
The cultivators in the surroundings did not dare to move at all nor did they dare to make a sound. They could only watch in shock.
Bang!
At this moment, the Confinement Seal suddenly shot out from the cliff toward Lu Zhou as red karmic fire raged everywhere.
Meanwhile, Yu Chenshu followed closely behind the Confinement Seal, wielding a red long spear with both hands.
“The Black Dragon Spear! It’s a desolate-grade weapon!”
Using the cliff and the power of the Confinement Seal as leverage, Yu Chenshu shot out and quickly arrived in front of Lu Zhou. He used all his strength as a Ten-leaf cultivator and thrust the spear toward Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou retaliated by launching several palm seals as he flew backward. He turned his right hand over discreetly and Unnamed appeared in his hand in the form of a shield.
“Shield!”
An oval shield burning with golden flames deflected the Black Dragon Spear and the Confinement Seal.
Bang!
The Black Dragon Shield landed on the shield.
“It’s a flood-grade shield! Who’s this person?”
The cultivators were shocked and confused. Most people would choose an offensive weapon like swords, sabers, spears, clubs, and halberds if they had a choice. They might even choose assistive weapons that could restrain their opponents or boost their strength. There were almost no cultivators who would choose a defensive weapon. This was the first time all of them had seen a flood-grade shield.
“Even if we don’t gain anything, it’s worth it just to watch this battle!”
At the same time, the Sky Martial Court, the True Kunlun Sect, the Void Sect, and the other sects were also watching the battle. The two opponents would decide everyone’s outcome. There was nothing they could do at all.
At this moment, Yu Chenshu cried out, “It’s my time to show you my strength!”
As the red karmic fire burned, Yu Chenshu’s hands turned fiery-red as he wielded the Black Dragon Spear and continued to stab Unnamed.
One of the cultivators said, “This is a good move! He’ll have to change his tactic now. Otherwise, he’d be pushed up high into the sky where the Primal Qi is thin,”
Lu Zhou said indifferently, “Is this the extent of your strength?” Then, he said curtly, “Go down.”
Lu Zhou’s finger shone with a blue light again.
The extraordinary power from the scrolls of the Heavenly Writing was domineering as it shrouded Unnamed.
A shrill and ear-piercing noise rang in the air as the Black Dragon Spear was repelled and bounced back. Most terrifyingly, the spear was bent!
Due to the immense pressure, Yu Chenshu had no choice but to let go of the spear. With that, the Black Dragon Spear fell out of his hand.
Unnamed, in the form of a shield, continued to press down on the Confinement Seal. The Confinement Seal was no match for it at all, especially now that it had been boosted with the extraordinary power.
Bang!
Unnamed slammed fiercely against Yu Chenshu’s chest.
Yu Chenshu, Great Tang’s only Ten-leaf karmic fire user, was heavily struck and spat out a mouthful of blood. Due to the red energy around him, it was difficult to distinguish between his blood and the red energy.
The cultivators were dumbfounded when they saw Yu Chenshu spitting out a mouthful of blood!
Similarly, Yu Chenshu was shocked as well. He could feel the blood qi in his body raging uncomfortably.
“Court Master!” Mo Buyan and Jian Tingzhong cried out in unison. They really wanted to go over to help Yu Chenshu, but they knew they would only be seeking death to interfere in a battle between Ten-leaf elites.
Meanwhile, the two Ten-leaf elites, Xuan Chengzi and Mo Xinglu, were shocked as well. Although Yu Chenshu was also a Ten–leaf elite like them, in comparison to them, Yu Chenshu might as well be an Eleven-leaf elite. Then, what about this ‘middle-aged man’ who managed to push Yu Chenshu to a corner?
At this moment, Yu Chenshu’s confidence began to waver. He hid the shock he felt as he glared at Lu Zhou. Was this the power of the Birth Chart? No. The two Birth Chart Masters from 2,000 years ago were not like this. The person in front of him was barbaric and unreasonably strong.
After a beat, Yu Chenshu landed on the top of the mountain and stomped his feet, causing them to sink into the ground.
With that, rocks began to roll down the mountain.
Lu Zhou looked down at Yu Chenshu from the sky and said, “Your Body Tempering is really good.”
Yu Chenshu chuckled and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth before he said, “Since I was young, the efforts I have put in are hundreds and thousands more compared to other people. That’s how I can get to where I am today. I’m invulnerable to poison, fire, water, and weapons... I...” Before he finished speaking, he coughed out another mouthful of blood.
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “I’d like to see what kind of monster you are.”
Lu Zhou flipped his palm and the Golden Taixu Mirror appeared in his hand.
The sound of Primal Qi rang in the air immediately.
Someone cried out, “A desolate-grade mirror!”
At this time, all the cultivators felt as though their views had been upended when they saw Lu Zhou bringing out one desolate-grade weapon after another.
The Sky Martial Court was filled with treasures, but it seemed like this person was not inferior to the Sky Martial Court at all!
A golden beam of light shone out of the Golden Taixu Mirror like a spotlight on Yu Chenshu.
The mirror showed a Ten-leaf avatar behind Yu Chenshu, but that was it.
“Hmm?”Lu Zhou frowned slightly. “That’s all?”
‘Is it possible that the desolate-grade Golden Taixu Mirror is unable to reflect Yu Chenshu’s true form?’
“The Sky Wheel Mountain Range has been surrounded; we still don’t know who the winner will be,” Yu Chenshu said as he endured the pain in his chest.
Lu Zhou replied, “You’re the same as Ye Zhen. Your blind confidence makes you look stupid.”
Lu Zhou recited the mantra from the Scrolls of the Heavenly Writing. Soon enough, extraordinary power shrouded the Golden Taixu Mirror. The originally golden beam of light turned blue as it shone on Yu Chenshu.
At this moment, a shocking scene appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Only Yu Chenshu’s skeletons were reflected in the Golden Taixu Mirror!
Now that the Golden Taixu Mirror was boosted with the extraordinary power, nothing could hide from it.
Apart from the full skeleton of a human, there was a stone-like humanoid puppet that looked creepy.
A few cultivators began to discuss among themselves.
“What’s that?”
“I’ve never seen something like this before. This mirror should be something that can reveal one’s true form! Is that puppet a substitute or some kind of immortal body?”
No one knew what it was they were seeing.
Lu Zhou thought the Golden Taixu Mirror would reflect the Nine Infants.
There was no one who liked their secrets exposed, let alone an arrogant person like Yu Chenshu. He grew enraged and stomped violently on the ground before he shot toward Lu Zhou.
For a moment, Yu Chenshu’s red karmic fire and the Confinement Seal overwhelmed the light from the Golden Taixu Mirror.
“There’s nothing you can do to me!” Yu Chenshu shot up into the sky as talismans flew out of his body.
As the talismans burned, a sea of fire appeared in the sky, causing the temperature to rise sharply.
Even the Birth Chart Beast in the forest seemed to have sensed the high temperature and came to a halt.
Lu Zhou put the Golden Taixu Mirror away and said tonelessly, “I don’t care if you’re human or a ghost, just take this palm strike of mine!”
Lu Zhou used one-fourth of his extraordinary power in the blue palm seal that were the size of the valley’s entrance. Just the fingers were as huge as a mountain.
The Abandon Wisdom was dazzling!
Boom!
It landed true on Yu Chenshu. No one was surprised when he fell down. He hit the cliff with a loud boom, causing several cracks to appear. When he finally landed, he seemed lifeless.
The cultivators. “...”
Lu Zhou frowned when he did not receive the notification for killing Yu Chenshu. ‘Is he really immortal?’
He flipped his palm, and Unnamed appeared again.
Lu Zhou still had a lot of strength left. If he could not kill Yu Chenshu with his own strength, he would just use his item cards then.
Meanwhile, everyone seemed to be in a daze, unable to tear their eyes away from the scene.
On the other hand, Xuan Chengzi and Mo Xinglu even thought of fleeing along with Jian Tingzhong and Mo Buyan. They felt an unprecedented danger, how could they still think of reaping the benefits? It was just wishful thinking on their behalf.
At this time, upon seeing Mo Xinglu and Xuan Chengzi distracted, they exchanged a look.
“Let’s go!”
The duo flew southeast of the Sky Wheel Mountain Range like a fired arrow.
Lu Zhou turned around and shook his head. “You dare covet my things?”
Unnamed turned into a bow immediately.
The bow and arrow were shrouded with golden energy and was the size of a person.
Lu Zhou used a quarter of the extraordinary power in the two arrows.
Zing!
The sound of the arrow being fired rang in the air. One arrow shot to the left while the other one shot to the right, accurately piercing Jian Ting and Mo Buyan’s hearts at lightning speed!
As the life heart dropped from the sky, Lu Zhou flew over to it.
