BXBX NOVEL Chapter 652: The Pinnacle of the Extraordinary Power
Chapter 652: The Pinnacle of the Extraordinary Power
“I’m surprised you didn’t trigger a disaster...” Jiang Wenxu said.
“I can say the same of you.” Lu Zhou wanted to know what method Jiang Wenxu used to suppress his own Nine-leaf stage. If the Nine-leaf stage would truly trigger a disaster, why did he not trigger a disaster?
Jiang Wenxu said, “Naturally, I have my own methods.” He waved his arm again.
Outside Lou Lan’s ancient city, cultivators marched in rows toward them from three directions like colonies of ants.
In the air, four flying chariots, several hundred meters in length, flew toward them.
Jiang Wenxu’s projection rose higher than the flying chariots.
Lu Zhou rose higher as well. The higher he was, the further he could see.
The four huge flying chariots and the countless flying cultivators surrounded the ancient city. There was no mortal in sight.
“When Lou Lan was in its prime, even Great Yan wouldn’t dare to underestimate it. I’ve prepared these four nations for you... If you wish to fight me, you’ll have to go through them.” Jiang Wenxu projected his voice to Lu Zhou.
The drones from the four flying chariots were like roaring wind as they drew closer. They arrived at the ancient city without much obstruction.
Lu Zhou looked at the four flying chariots and said, “Just a ragtag mob.”
“I admire your confidence... I hope you’ll unleash the power of a Nine-leaf cultivator so you can serve as a warning to others.” Jiang Wenxu’s projection flew away.
Lu Zhou did not attack. He needed to find out where Jiang Wenxu was.
At this moment, Mingshi Yin, Yu Zhenghai, Leng Luo, and Pan Litian flew over and stood behind Lu Zhou.
When he saw the troops from the four allied nations, Mingshi Yin was inwardly shocked. He said, “The royal tutor sure knows how to lay a trap... This will be tricky...”
The five people from the Evil Sky Pavilion hovered in the air as they looked at the countless cultivators from the four nations.
“Protect Yu Zhenghai,” Lu Zhou said apathetically.
“Don’t worry, master.”
Yu Zhenghai quickly said, “Don’t mind me.”
Naturally, the others ignored him. Yu Zhenghai did not even have his cultivation base or memories. He needed the protection.
King Angui could no longer think straight.
The officials were also at a loss.
The only garrison of the ancient city had been swept away by the greatest expert of Great Yan. However, they had made their stance clear before this.
The head of the Bonar Family, Lanhai, retreated instinctively... He did not expect that the royal tutor was only a projection.
The reactions of those from Lou Lan did not escape Lu Zhou’s notice. He said, “Get them.”
“I’ll get him.” The Golden Gourd Bottle burst forth with radiance as Pan Litian dove. Although he was recultivating, he was still superior to his peers. As the saying went, ‘An emaciated camel is still larger than a horse’.
Upon seeing this, Lanhai was frightened out of his wits. He hastily cast a spell as he attempted to flee.
The Golden Gourd Bottle flashed again with golden radiance!
Bam!
It landed squarely on Lanhai’s back.
Lanhai had been injured by Lu Zhou to begin with. He was no match for Pan Litian with his heaven-grade weapon. He spat out a mouthful of blood before he fell face-first to the ground.
Pan Litian nodded in satisfaction. He reached out and launched a palm seal that caught Lanhai and pulled him back. He flew back to Lu Zhou’s side. “Stop struggling. I might just let you tumble to your death.”
Pan Litian’s words frightened Lanhai so much that he stilled immediately.
Then, Pan Litian raised his hand and sealed Lanhai’s Extraordinary Eight Meridians. Now that the greatest elite from the Clarity Sect has personally sealed Lanhai’s cultivation base, Lanhai had almost no chance of breaking free.
Meanwhile.
From the four flying chariots that stopped above the ancient city, four figures leaped out of the flying chariots. They stopped short of 100 meters before Lu Zhou and arranged themselves in a semi-circle.
“Arwen of Shemu Nation is here to fight by order of the royal tutor.”
“Bask of Wuchang Nation is here to fight by order of the royal tutor.”
“Kubo of Nieer Nation is here to fight by order of the royal tutor.”
“Xiaji of Rouli Nation is here to fight by order of the royal tutor.”
The four of them had strong auras. Their battle spirits were off the charts, and excitement burned brightly in their eyes.
Xiaji, the Roulian, could not wait to make his move. The death of the Roulian General, Karol, incited fury in the Roulians. Moreover, there were 10,000 captives held in Liang Province at this moment.
Lu Zhou looked at the four of them and said, “I’ve always been merciful. If you turn back now, you may keep your lives!”
“The arrow is already nocked. It has to be fired.”
“One of us will have to die today.”
With the powerful Royal Tutor supporting them, how could they let this chance slip through their fingers?
At this moment, battle drums sounded from the four flying chariots.
Xiaji said, “The other seven nations are already on their way to Heaven’s Moat... Even if you have the power of the Nine-leaf stage, you can’t save people from such great distance.”
“The Royal Tutor is watching over us today. The Royal Tutor has already reached the Nine-leaf stage centuries ago... What are we waiting for?”
Lu Zhou studied the four cultivators. It seemed like Jiang Wenxu did a good job brainwashing them.
Arwen of Shenmu drew a saber and loudly announced, “I’ll go first.” He wielded with saber with both hands as he summoned his avatar.
Whizz!
A lotus-less leopard king avatar appeared before it disappeared. It was clear Arwen was trying to show his strength. The eight leaves around his avatar betrayed his cultivation base. Who knew he might even be an Eight-leaf-and-a-half cultivator.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded upon seeing this. It seemed like Jiang Wenxu intended to use him to kill these potential Nine-leaf cultivators.
“Here I come!” Arwen suddenly flickered out of sight as he leaped 50 meters ahead. When he appeared, he merged with his leopard king avatar. As he held the saber with both hands, the energy saber elongated and broadened. It seemed capable of piercing the heavens. He leaped again and brought his saber down in a hacking motion. The energy saber resembled a huge guillotine that was dropping down.
Lanhai was already paralyzed with fear at this sight.
On the other hand, the two elders, Mingshi Yin, and Yu Zhenghai did not even flinch.
The energy saber fell toward Lu Zhou’s face.
At this moment, Lu Zhou raised two fingers of his right hand, and a faint blue light flashed
Bam!
The energy saber stopped moving!
Everyone’s attention was focused on Lu Zhou. His left hand was still resting on his back. He had raised his right hand slightly, and with seemingly little effort, he caught the huge energy saber with two fingers.
Arwen was shocked. Although he knew a Nine-leaf cultivator would be powerful, he did not expect Lu Zhou would be able to stop the attack he had unleashed unreservedly. When he regained his senses, he tried to free his energy saber from Lu Zhou’s hold, but he found that he could not move it at all. How was this possible?
Arwen increased the input of Primal Qi and his force. Alas, the huge saber still remained unmoved.
The old man who was holding the energy saber between his fingers appeared nonchalant and calm. Too powerful!
Soon after, Lu Zhou flickered out of sight.
Grand technique!
While Arwen was distracted, Lu Zhou shot past him.
Goosebumps rose on Arwen’s skin, and his hair stood on ends. This was bad! The energy saber scattered as he raised his weapon to defend himself!
Bam!
There was a flash of light as Lu Zhou landed behind Arwen. He held Unnamed in his hand.
The other three opponents were only 50 meters away as they looked at the seemingly frail old man.
Arwen’s back was facing Lu Zhou. He seemed to have frozen over; he was still wielding his saber with both hands.
“Arwen!” A sound wave rolled out of Shenmu Nation’s flying chariot.
The soundwave rolled over them, and the saber cracked into two.
At the same time, Arwen’s body was cleaved into two as well. Then, like trash, he plummeted to the ground as his blood rained down.
“Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 1,500 merit points.”
Lu Zhou had easily killed his opponent with a single move. Who could compare to a Nine-leaf cultivator?
Most of the people present knew a Nine-leaf cultivator was powerful, but the extent of a Nine-leaf cultivator’s strength truly exceeded their expectations. He had easily killed an elite who had recultivated to the Eight-leaf stage after severing his lotus! How unfair!
The wind blew in the night scare, causing Lu Zhou’s robes to flutter. He looked like an immortal at this moment.
The others could hardly breathe.
At this moment, a gruff and familiar voice rang from behind the four flying chariots. “Continue.”
“Lord Royal Tutor has ordered us to continue!”
“I’ll go!” Bask of Wuchang Nation shouted as he volunteered himself. He merged with his tiger king avatar, and the muscles on his arms seemed to grow immediately. He leaped out and brought his paws down. Without the shackles of the golden lotus, the Eight-leaf tiger king was now unrestrained!
Lu Zhou raised his right hand. Black runes swirled around Unnamed. There was a flurry of movements before he vanished out of sight.
Bask said gruffly, “I was waiting for this!” He roared and released an overwhelming soundwave. His roar resounded across the heavens.
Although it was just a soundwave, the others felt as though it was palpable when it rolled over them!
“What a powerful roaring technique!”
The sound had barely faded when Lu Zhou appeared beside the tiger king. With an indifferent expression, he swung his right arm.
“Block!” Bask raised his arms!
It was like a hot knife through butter as Unnamed easily cut into the tiger king avatar, Arwen’s arms, and his torso.
The battle ended just like that.
Bask’s lips trembled, and his eyes were brimming with fear. He could hardly believe this.
“Did you think you’d be able to injure me with that pathetic sound technique?”
“...”
“Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 1,500 merit points.”
The remaining cultivators, Kubo of Nieer Nation and the Roulian, Xiaji, were greatly shaken and frightened. Eight-leaf cultivators had been instantly killed with a single strike. How could they not feel afraid? They turned to look in the direction from where the earlier order came.
The Royal Tutor’s voice rang in a timely manner. “Charge at him together.”
Lu Zhou gauged his extraordinary power. He had killed two cultivators. Although he had used Unnamed, he still expended half of his extraordinary power. He did not expect the duo would still be bold enough to come at him after he killed two of their comrades.
Kubo and Xiaji attacked together.
At the same time, countless cultivators leaped out from the four flying chariots.
Dozens of Ten Worlds avatars and hundreds of Nine Transformation Yin Yang avatars charged at Lu Zhou from three directions. There were also a handful of Nascent Divinity realm experts in the fray. They were like a swarm of locust plague!
