BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1054 - Three Moves To Decide The Winner
Chapter 1054: Three Moves To Decide The Winner
Lan Xihe studied Little Yuan’er, who was clearly confused, carefully.
Lu Zhou moved nimbly and arrived opposite the white tower. He said, “Little Yuan’er cultivates the Supreme Purity Jade Skip; it’s an incredibly high cultivation technique that enhances her five senses… It’s not surprising that she can see your movements…”
For example, humans were many times slower in the eyes of cats. Unless Lan Xihe could teleport, no matter how fast she was, it was impossible for her to escape Little Yuan’er’s eyes.
Meanwhile, Little Yuan’er was delighted by her master’s praise. “It’s just alright…”
“…”
It was good to be modest, but was it not belittling Lan Xihe for Little Yuan’er to be modest at this moment? No matter what, Lan Xihe was the Tower Master of the White Tower Council and a super expert who possessed 13 Birth Charts!
As expected of someone who had lived for thousands of years, although Lan Xihe felt slightly embarrassed, no traces of it could be seen on her face. Instead, she looked at Lu Zhou and calmly said, “Three moves.”
“Go ahead,” Lu Zhou said expressionlessly. Inwardly, he was still thinking about the best way to deal with this. After all, in the end, he only had five Birth Charts. Even with the help from the Heavenly Writing, he was pushing 12 Birth Charts. If he fought with Lan Xihe who possessed 13 Birth Charts, he would have no chance of winning. He could only think of using Thunderblast. He could not use the Deadly Strike Card; it would kill Lan Xihe. If news of him killing Lan Xihe spread, his reputation would be damaged. Most importantly, a Deadly Strike Card was too expensive to use in this situation.
The two opponents flew back. At this time, there did not seem to be any difference between the two.
At the same time, a strange noise began to ring in the surroundings. A bone-piercing cold from heaven and earth permeated the air immediately as snow rose up into snowflakes. It was as though the world was a snow globe that had been turned upside-down.
“What move is this?” Si Wuya felt chills run up his spine.
Ning Wanqing moved to Si Wuya’s side and said, “It’s rare to see this. After all, the Tower Master rarely shows her face…”
Upon seeing this move, the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion felt slightly worried for Lu Zhou.
Snowflakes continued to rise in the sky and the strange noise grew violent. The air seemed to have frozen over.
Yu Zhenghai and the others were already affected by the bone-piercing cold.
Si Wuya said as he retreated, “It’s a freezing technique that’s even more terrifying than Absolute Zero!”
Ning Wanqing said, “Don’t worry. The White Tower Council has a special protective formation. Moreover, the Tower Master won’t damage the tower and the buildings.”
A special barrier lit up promptly on the railing, keeping the cold at bay.
At this time, snow had already covered Lu Zhou’s body. At this time, the chill had already invaded his body. At this moment, he suddenly recalled he still had a bunch of defensive cards. He opened the system face quickly to have a look.
“Level 1 defense card: 10,000 points. Reduces 90% damage, lasts for 10 seconds.”
“Level 2 defense card: 8,000 points. Reduces 80% damage, lasts for 10 seconds.”
Lu Zhou wondered inwardly, ‘Should I purchase two cards? I still have many merit points after all. With these cards, I should be able to block the remaining 10%-20% damage with my five Birth Charts, right?”
The freezing noises grew louder and louder
Whoosh!
Lan Xihe’s figure disappeared into the heavy snow that rose from the ground and reappeared 45 degrees above Lu Zhou’s back. In her hand was a weapon as bright as the moon. She did not hesitate and struck immediately.
Lu Zhou could feel Lan Xihe’s force growing stronger as she drew closer. He discovered that he could not mobilize the Primal Qi in his Dantian’s sea of Qi; it seemed to be frozen.
Lu Zhou crushed the Level 1 defense card without any hesitation. A warm current immediately flowed from his Dantian’s sea of Qi to his entire body. Primal Qi began to flood through his Extraordinary Eight Meridians, dispelling the cold. At the same time, his body seemed to have been plated with gold, making him look like Buddha himself. Even so, when Lan Xi’s palm struck, a stronger chill invaded his body.
He cursed inwardly, ‘What a useless card!’
Just the remaining 10% of the damage was rather strong. Lu Zhou did not waste time and used Thunderblast.
In just a blink of an eye, purple lightning bolts began to flash in the sky as dark clouds rolled in. Then, a bolt of lightning shot out from Lu Zhou’s palm toward the moon-like weapon in Lan Xihe’s hand.
Bang!
“Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is determined by heaven. Go.”
Lu Zhou pushed his palm forward.
Lightning bolts struck at Lan Xihe.
Lan Xihe looked at the lightning bolts in disbelief as she said, “Pavilion Master, you’re able to use Thunderblast?”
Boom!
The lightning struck, catching Lan Xihe off guard. She flipped back and extended her right hand that shone as bright as the sun, blocking the remaining energy from the lightning bolt.
The huge impact stirred up a snowstorm immediately.
Meanwhile, the light that was comparable to the sun and the moon in Lan Xihe’s palm disappeared.
Soon enough, the surroundings returned to normal.
The two opponents looked at each other from afar.
At this moment, Lu Zhou’s mind was not on Lan Xihe at all. He was thinking about the merit points he had spent and wondered if it was worth it. It did not take long for him to conclude it was not worth it at all! He only managed to win with one card when he had bought two! If he had known then what he knew now, he would have made a bet with Lan Xihe in the beginning. He really suffered a huge loss this time!
Finally, Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said with a straight face, “You lost the first move.”
Lan Xihe shook her head and said, “No. You should have lost.”
“???”
Lu Zhou was a little confused. ‘Why should I have lost? It’s not like you know about the item cards…’
Lan Xihe said, “I only used the strength of six Birth Charts earlier along with the Sun, Moon and Star Wheel, reversing Primal Qi and the world. Pavilion Master Lu, you forcefully used your Primal Qi earlier, injuring yourself and the enemy at the same time.”
Lu Zhou remained silent. This woman had lived for so long; he wondered if she was going to go back on her words.
Lan Xihe continued to say, “You shouldn’t be able to use your Primal Qi now. Your Extraordinary Eight Meridians should be flowing in reverse as well due to the cold energy.”
Lu Zhou stopped stroking his beard as soon as Lan Xihe finished speaking. A golden astrolabe appeared in his hand immediately.
The golden astrolabe only flashed with five Birth Charts. However, everyone present on the scene was convinced he was deliberately hiding his strength.
“I will unleash my second move now…” Lu Zhou said before he flew away with his astrolabe.
Lan Xihe frowned and said softly, “Are you alright?” Then, she quickly adjusted her state of mind. This time, one palm shone with the light of the sun while the other shone with the light of the moon.
Lu Zhou’s astrolabe disappeared into thin air as he pressed his hand down; the astrolabe was just a distraction. At this moment, the Purple Glazed Ceramic in his hand flashed with a purple light.
In just an instant, the space within a radius of 100 meters began to distort and turn haze.
“Fusion grade?” Lan Xihe murmured. At this moment, the bone-chilling cold intensified, and she shone even more dazzlingly with the light of the sun, the moon, and the stars.
Ning Wanqing frowned and said, “Everyone, protect the white tower!”
“Understood!”
White-clad cultivators rushed to the railings one after another, forming a semi-circular formation before they brought their astrolabes out in front of them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The power from the Sun, Moon, and Star Wheel smashed against their astrolabes, sending them flying back. A few of them even spat out blood.
On the other hand, the Evil Sky Pavilion members gathered. Shen Xi took the lead and shielded everyone as he brought his astrolabe out.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion echoed from the white tower, and a mushroom cloud appeared in the air.
After who knew how much time had passed, the sound from the energy collision gradually subsided.
The two opponents faced each other from afar again; one on the left and one on the right.
Did they both win this round?
Lan Xihe had learned from her earlier mistakes and did not make the same hasty judgment.
Meanwhile, after Lu Zhou recovered his vision, he gauged the power of the Purple Glazed Ceramic and determined the energy in it was completely depleted. However, he was not sure if he injured Lan Xihe or not.
Both opponents looked uninjured physically.
This was Lu Zhou’s first time using the ice-sealing ability. He knew how powerful the Purple Glazed Ceramic was so he was rather surprised Lan Xihe managed to escape completely unscathed. Finally, he asked, “What’s that in your hand?”
“It’s called the Sun, Moon, and Star Wheel. It was given to me by a senior many years ago,” Lan Xihe replied.
“Fusion grade?”
“Perhaps.” Lan Xihe shrugged.
“Let’s call it a draw for this round. What do you think?” Lu Zhou asked.
Despite looking calm outwardly, Lan Xihe sighed in relief inwardly. She still had one chance.
Lu Zhou calmly said, “I hope you can block the next move…”
