Chapter 932: Is This The Might of the Black Guards?
Lu Zhou, who had obtained Di Jiang’s ability, felt that the blackguards’ speed was a little slow. He wondered if they were intentionally slowing down. It was similar to how human movements were slow in the eyes of cats, just not as exaggerated. They were all Thousand Realms Whirling experts after all.
In a blink of an eye, Lu Zhou had already chased them to the northern jungle.
Meanwhile, Xuan Chengzi, Mo Xinglu, and Zeng Yan looked at each other/
“Should we chase after them?” Mo Xinglu asked.
“No... We should just stay here,” Xuan Chengzi said, “If we chase after them, we might get hurt...”
The disciples below nodded.
The battle of the Ten-leaf experts in the Sky Wheel Mountain Range had already leveled the mountains and the valley. In comparison to the battle between so many Thousand Realms Whirling experts, that was likely just like an appetizer.
Zeng Yan sighed as he said with a troubled expression, “Then, the life heart...”
“At this point in time, you can still think about the life heart? It’s better to think about how to save your life...”
The three of them lowered their heads and sighed in unison. They decided not to leave and wait instead.
They knew they could run now, but they wouldn’t be able to run forever. If the Thousand Realms Whirling experts were angered, who knew what they would do. It was better to just wait. At least, there was a chance of survival.
Now that they thought about it, after meeting the blackguards, the old Thousand Realms Whirling expert seemed rather reasonable.
...
While chasing after the blackguards, Lu Zhou hesitated slightly. Based on what he knew, the blackguards should not be so weak. Moreover, their fighting style was too timid. After losing only one blackguard, they turned tail and ran.
Lu Zhou was puzzled. Were they really from the powerful Black Guards in the Black Tower Council?
...
In the forest east of the Eastern Forest Mountain.
Buzz! Buzz!
Two golden avatars towered in the sky.
One of the avatars had a spinning golden lotus with ten leaves. The tips of the leaves were burning with wisps of golden flames.
The other avatar had no lotus which made it look rather cool and mysterious. Ten leaves revolved around the avatar in an orderly manner like ten moons revolving around earth.
...
“Ten leaves?” Lu Zhou, naturally, knew what happened as soon as he saw the avatars.
With so many people looking out for Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong, it was only a matter of course that they successfully sprouted the tenth leaf.
At this moment, the five blackguards hesitated for a moment before they flew toward the two Ten-leaf avatars.
Upon seeing this, Lu Zhou frowned slightly. “You dare to target my disciples?”
Lu Zhou mobilized the power of the fourth Birth Chart.
A golden light seemed to shine from his body. Soon after, the space seemed to ripple and distort when he moved due to the extreme speed.
Lu Zhou arrived at the back of the five blackguards at the speed of light and struck with his palm.
The five blackguards turned around and stood shoulder to shoulder with their halberds next to them. Then, they flashed and disappeared again.
Lu Zhou’s palm strike missed its targets.
‘Hmm? What kind of move was that?’
Lu Zhou turned around and confirmed his disciples were safe and sound. At the same time, he saw Si Wuya flying over on Di Jiang’s back. He hurriedly sent a voice transmission to Si Wuya. “Don’t come over.”
The blackguards must be still in the vicinity. Based on that earlier move, their speed increased for a moment. It was faster than the speed of flashing. If his disciples came over and were taken hostages, it would be quite troublesome.
Si Wuya and Di Jiang hovered in the sky thousands of meters away, unmoving. “Master, what’s wrong?”
“The Black Guards. They’re all Thousand Realms Whirling experts,” Lu Zhou said as he looked around.
Si Wuya, worthy of being Lu Zhou’s smartest disciple, rose higher into the sky and looked at the setting sun, the clouds, and the ground. He looked in all directions before he finally said through voice transmission, “Master, continue to go north. They’ll definitely go north.”
Si Wuya was right. However, Lu Zhou said, “No, if they turn back, all of you will be in danger.”
Lu Zhou flew slightly north to a large valley. It was humid here, the terrain was rougher, and there were beasts.
Lu Zhou chanted the mantra for the power of hearing.
For a few thousand meters, there were no sounds of movement at all. This time, there was no heartbeat.
Lu Zhou moved forward slowly. Every few meters, he would stop and look around.
“I gave you a chance. Not only did you not cherish it, but you provoked me instead,” Lu Zhou said as he continued moving forward.
He cut off the power of hearing. He decided to save his supreme mystic power and rely on his cultivation base instead to sense the movement around him.
Although he had just killed a blackguard, he could not be complacent.
Creak!
A sound rang from the left!
“Why are you so aggressive, old sir?”
Lu Zhou raised his hand.
Swoosh!
Boom!
A palm seal landed on the towering tree, shattering it immediately. Nevertheless, no one could be seen.
“When you provoked me earlier, did you think about the consequences? What makes you think you can twist right and wrong as you wish? Let me show you the vastness of the universe today...”
A reply came from the front right.
“We’ve given up the three life hearts. Why don’t we forget about this matter? Moreover, we’ve lost one of our comrades. Why don’t we consider that as compensation for our previous offenses?”
This blackguard was rather smart and flexible.
Lu Zhou looked around his surroundings as he fell deep into his thoughts. He did not strike the spot where the voice came from. He thought it was not a bad idea to end the matter like that.
However, a cold voice rang from the depths of the northern jungle at this moment. “Kill him or all of you will die!”
“L-lord Wu?”
‘Lord Wu? Even the blackguards sound so respectful when addressing this person. Is he the judge? I acted too ostentatiously this time... Is it too late to escape now?’
“Yes.”
The voice seemed to come from the depths of hell. It sounded like it came from very far away. This Lord Wu was clearly quite far away and was not bothered with personally making a move.
Lu Zhou raised his head.
A fierce wind began to blow. The sky darkened and the sun dimmed as thunder rang and lightning flashed in the air.
Lu Zhou leaped up the sky and arrived above a towering tree. When he looked down at the basin in front of him, he saw a shocking scene. A flag was erected in five directions around the basin. The flags were the color of ink, and the black patterns on the flags flashed faintly. The flags that were 1,000 feet tall covered a vast area.
‘Formation flags?’ Lu Zhou was surprised to see them. The 1,000-foot black formation flags were rather strange. Even at the height he was hovering at, he still had to crane his neck up to look at them.
At this moment, the five formation flags began to shoot out black energy swords.
As thunder and lightning rang and flashed in the sky, the energy swords swept out, cutting down all the trees in an instant. The energy swords seemed indestructible; they continued flying out even after hitting targets after targets.
Lu Zhou looked at the five blackguards standing under the five formation flags respectively as they held their halberds.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Five Thousand Realms Whirling avatar appeared for a moment before they disappeared again. In just an instant, five heaven-defying black energy swords shot toward Lu Zhou.
“Unnamed.” Lu Zhou raised a hand, turning Unnamed into a shield with the scripts from the Taiji Yin and Yang.
Boom!
The five terrifying energy swords slammed against Unnamed, pushing Lu Zhou back hundreds of meters away from the basin.
Buzz!
The energy swords did not dissipate and kept pushing against Unnamed.
Lu Zhou was in disbelief when he felt his blood qi roiled in his body. “I have underestimated you.”
Boom!
The supreme mystic power!
Unnamed shattered the five energy swords in just an instant.
Meanwhile, the five formation flags fluttered in the wind. With each movement, a sonorous and powerful noise would ring in the air. Soon after, they shot out energy swords again.
Was this the might of the Black Guards?
