Chapter 1117: Conspiracy and Trump Cards
The powerful cultivator known as Lord Li was held tightly by the Fiend Monk’s Hand Seal and could not move at all. He had two lost Birth Charts in a row and was severely injured by the Thunderblast Card. He launched into a violent coughing fit before he turned with great difficulty to look at the tragic battle between the black lotus cultivators and the White Tower Council members. Following that, he laughed maniacally.
Lu Zhou looked at him indifferently. “What are you laughing at?”
“I’m laughing at your stupidity and your pathetic self,” Lord Li replied.
At this moment, a white-clad cultivator landed at Lu Zhou’s side and bowed. “Pavilion Master Lu, this person’s name is Li Tianze. He’s one of the Five Tigers of the Dark and Light Alliance. He’s an Eight Chart cultivator. His life-and-death friend was that master assassin, Ye Liuyun.”
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. “So, you want to avenge Ye Liuyun?”
Li Tianze coughed before he replied, “Yes and no…”
Li Tianze tried his best to suppress his surging Qi and blood. His eyes were bloodshot as he said, “I didn’t expect to meet the famous Pavilion Master Lu here. Did you think that the Black Emperor would come to Jiangdong City?”
Lu Zhou asked, perplexed, “What’s your purpose?”
“Why don’t you guess?” Li Tianze spat out another mouthful of blood. A strange smile hung on his lips as he said, “How are you going to help the other three circuits? Why do you have to interfere in the first place? Y-you shouldn’t interfere in the red lotus domain’s affairs…”
At this moment, Zhu Honggong flew off the ground like a shooting star and landed in front of Li Tianze.
Bang!
Zhu Honggong wordlessly punched Li Tianze in the chest, causing Li Tianze’s chest to almost cave in.
Zhu Honggong cursed, “Still pretending? See how I deal with you! How about it?”
Li Tianze. “???”
Bang!
“What are you looking at? You’re like a dead fish! Still looking!?”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Zhu Honggong landed three consecutive punches with boundless strength that was as fast as lightning. His punches were made even more powerful with the restraint by the Fiend Monk’s Hand Seal.
“Ding! Destroyed one Birth Chart. Reward: 3,000 merit points.”
“Do you want another taste of my fists?” Zhu Honggong raised his fists threateningly and said, “Hurry up and tell me honestly; where’s the Black Emperor now?”
“I… I… I don’t know…”
“Where is the beast emperor?”
“I… I don’t know…”
“Other than this lousy scheme here, what other conspiracies are there?”
“I don’t know.”
Boom!
Zhu Hong Gong’s punch landed heavily on Li Tianze’s chest again.
Li Tian’s chest bones broke, causing his chest to cave in as blood began to gush out.
“What’s the point of keeping you alive if you don’t know anything?” Zhu Honggong swung his fist and struck again.
Lu Zhou and Zhao Hongfu were speechless when they saw this.
Lu Zhou suddenly felt he had been too restrained when he saw Li Tianze being oppressed by Zhu Honggong.
“What are you looking at? Still looking?”
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Another four consecutive punches landed; each more powerful than the last. These were Zhu Honggong’s full-strength attacks.
The Thousand Realms Whirling avatar appeared for a moment before it shrank into Li Tianze’s body again.
“Ding! Destroyed one Birth Chart. Reward: 3,000 merit points..”
“No, no, no… Stop hitting!” Li Tianze shook his head.
“Why weren’t you so obedient earlier?” Zhu Honggong’s fierce expression vanished immediately as he turned to smile and bow at Lu Zhou. “Master, please ask him whatever you want…”
Lu Zhou and Zhao Hongfu. “…”
‘It actually works?’
This was probably why torture had always been used since ancient times until now. Humans’ vile nature was the reason for it. Humans had all kinds of emotions, desires, and weaknesses that can be used against them after all.
Lu Zhou felt like he had really overestimated Li Tianze at this moment. Finally, he asked, “Where’s Mu Ertie?”
Li Tianze said, “I… really… really don’t know.”
“What’s the purpose of the annihilation plan?” Lu Zhou asked again.
Li Tianze coughed again before replying, “I… I only know Mu Ertie has reached an agreement with the beast emperor. It seems like Mu Ertie is trying to use the red lotus domain to break the heaven and earth shackles. They’ve also prepared a backup plan. The black lotus cultivators, and the four beast tides… t-they’re just a cover…”
“Backup plan?” Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow.
“I don’t know. There’s no point knowing; all of us will die anyway. A once-in-a-century beast tide, a beast tide from ancient times, will come again. At that time, we’ll all be food!” Li Tianze said. His gaze was burning as he laughed as though he had lost his mind.
Zhao Hongfu said, “There seems to be something wrong with him…”
Zhu Honggong scratched his head and said, “Who cares what problem he has? I’ll teach him how to behave with my fists!”
Bam!
Zhu Honggong moved at lightning speed; his fist landed on Li Tianze’s chest again.
With that, Li Tianze lost another Birth Chart. At the same time, Primal Qi began to surge out of his Dantian’s sea of Qi in a flurry.
“Primal Qi storm…”
Li Tianze turned to look at the 10,000 black-clad cultivators. Under the siege of the white-clad cultivators, they were in a wretched state.
Bi Shuo who had eight Birth Charts was like a ferocious wolf, constantly tearing and mauling the sheep around him.
At this moment, Li Tianze seemed to regain his senses. He chuckled before he said, “The other three places… I’m afraid they’ve already turned into seas of blood. Old… Old Devil Lu, you’ve miscalculated…”
At this moment, only the black and white cultivators could be seen on the battlefield.
Bi Shuo was besieged by the three Thousand Realms Whirling cultivators at this time.
Despite the advantage, the white-clad cultivators were not without pressure due to the sheer number of black lotus cultivators.
Lu Zhou transmitted his voice to Bi Shuo, “The White Tower Council only sent you?”
Bi Shuo replied, “Yes. Pavilion Master Lu, Tower Master Lan has sent everyone in the White Tower Council to the four circuits and the capital.”
Upon hearing this, Li Tianze frowned. “The White Tower Council shouldn’t interfere. Aren’t you afraid of Great Ming? Idiots!” Then, he began laughing again.
Bi Shuo said while fighting, “If even a person like isn’t afraid of death; why should we be afraid?”
The three Thousand Realms Whirling cultivators brought out their astrolabes and attacked Bi Shuo from three different directions at the same time.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Their astrolabes shot out beams of light, denting Bi Shuo’s astrolabe. He hurriedly activated his protective energy and retreated.
Upon seeing this, Lu Zhou leaped up and drew Unnamed that was in the form of a bow again.
Buzz!
Lu Zhou held the bow that was 300 meters tall horizontally in the sky above the city wall. Three energy arrows that looked like pillars that could hold up the sky were nocked.
Li Zetian’s eyes widened as he cried out, “This energy arrow again?”
Pa!
Zhu Honggong slapped Li Zetian and said, “How ignorant! Archery is my master’s weakest and most insignificant skill. You would’ve died before you could even speak if my master decided to use a sword!”
In the sky, Lu Zhou said indifferently, “Die.”
Swoosh!
Lu Zhou released the bowstring.
The three arrows made only one sound as they shot out at the same time, sailing through the air.
When the three Thousand Realms Whirling cultivators saw the huge energy arrows, their expressions changed drastically.
“Block them! Even if you die, you have to block them for me!”
The other black lotus cultivators activated their protective energies and manifested their avatars, standing in a row in front of the three Thousand Realms Whirling cultivators.
“You think you can block them?”
Lu Zhou pulled the bowstring back again. His movements were so fast it was impossible for the naked eye to catch them. A thrumming sound rang in the air as his hand moved back and forth at lightning speed.
The arrows fell like a storm, shooting in all directions. They pierced through the chests of hundreds of people.
Lu Zhou used almost half of the supreme mystic power in this attack, hence, he did bother looking at the results. He put Unnamed away and descended.
The arrows continued to fall, killing nearly 1,000 people in just a few breaths.
Meanwhile, the three huge arrows were unstoppable.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three arrows landed on the three astrolabes.
The lights of the astrolabes dimmed by 30%, and their sizes shrank one time.
At the same time, the three Thousand Realms Whirling cultivators flew back in the air, throwing up blood.
“Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 9,000 merit points.”
Bi Shuo was overwhelmed with emotions and could not help but ask, “Pavilion Master Lu, what realm are you in exactly?”
No one had ever seen Lu Zhou’s true avatar or Birth Charts. In any case, no one would believe he had fewer than 12 Birth Charts.
The supreme mystic power was incredibly powerful as it was. With Lu Zhou’s seven Birth Charts, they boosted the strength of his supreme mystic power even further. The energy arrows did not only contain the supreme mystic power, but they contained his own power as well. It was not surprising he easily took out a Three Chart cultivator. After all, he had taken down judges with many more Birth Charts in comparison.
Everyone shared the same thought at this moment. ‘As expected of a super-skilled marksman!’
Lu Zhou said, “I’ll leave the rest to you.”
Bi Shuo said before flying up, “If I can’t beat them after this, then I’ll be really embarrassed.”
Li Tianze shook his head and said as he laughed, “Pavilion Master Lu is personally overseeing the battle. I didn’t lose in vain… I want more people to die with me so my death is worthwhile!”
Then, Li Tianze’s Dantian’s sea of Qi suddenly surged with a huge amount of energy.
Suddenly…
Bam!
Lu Zhou’s hand struck with the force of a tidal wave.
Li Tianze widened his eyes in shock. “You!”
