Chapter 1335: You Ask For It
Lu Zhou frowned slightly. The emperor of Great Qin had more tricks up his sleeve than he had expected. He looked at the four elders of Mount Li and said, “I’ll give the four of you a piece of advice.”
Cui Mingguang was not in a hurry to make a move. He slowly said, “Speak.”
“It’s best not to interfere with my matters with him,” Lu Zhou said solemnly.
Cui Mingguang laughed. He said as he stroked his beard, “Do you think we, the four elders of Mount Li, will heed your advice?”
The four elders of Mount Li had lived for a long time and were famous in the cultivation world. Their cultivation bases were profound and mysterious, and each of them had their own strengths.
Kong Wen said discreetly, “The one who spoke is Cui Mingguang, the leader of the four elders of Mount Li. Then, there’s Ji Shi, Tan Zibing, and Zhou Chongshu. They’re all famous reclusive experts. They’re known for their morals and high integrity. I really didn’t expect them to still be alive.”
Mingshi Yin did not think much of it and said mockingly, “Morals? High integrity? Didn’t they still become the emperor’s lackeys?”
Mingshi Yin had deliberately emphasized the word ‘lackey’ so it was natural the four elders of Mount Li heard his words.
Cui Mingguang said darkly, “Ignorant brat! I’ll start with you first.”
The emperor’s eyes shone with a strange light when he looked at Mingshi Yin. He raised his hand and said, “There’s no need to care about him.”
Cui Mingguang turned around and said, “Your Majesty, once we, the four elders of Mount Li, solve this problem, we won’t owe each other from now on.
The emperor smiled faintly and made a gesture of invitation.
With this, the four elders looked at each other and moved in front of Lu Zhou and the others.
Lu Zhou thought to himself, ‘With so many people watching, I can’t run away, can I?’
In the past, Lu Zhou had always had some trump cards, but this time, he really did not have any trump cards.
On the contrary, Lu Zhou’s disciples and the others in the group were brimming with confidence. They looked at the four elders of Mount Li as though they were looking at four idiots.
Nevertheless, Lu Zhou’s expression remained the same as he said, “You sure you won’t regret this?”
Cui Mingguang replied, “It’s time for the names of the four elders of Mount Li to resound in the green lotus domain again!”
Cui Mingguang drew the Daoist’s Grand Mystic Rush Treasure Seal with his hands; Ji Shi drew the Solitary Diamond Seal; Tan Zibing and Zhou Chongshu drew the Mystic Exoteric Circle Seal and the Solar and Lunar Seal respectively.
Then, four streaks of green energy resonated before they formed four hand seals.
“Aren’t these the Nine Cuts Hand Seals?”
The disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion were slightly surprised. They did not expect to see the hand seal that their master used to use.
The four energy seals shot toward the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion from four different directions, causing them to retreat.
Lu Zhou said in a low voice, “All of you look young, but you dare to call yourselves the four elders of Mount Li. Let me show you the immensity of the world today!”
Meanwhile, Qin Renyue was not worried about Lu Zhou being threatened at all. However, he found the hand seals rather strange so he said, “I think these are modified Nine Cuts Hand Seals…”
Lu Zhou did not let his guard down. He calmly raised his right hand.
“The Great Seal of Fearlessness.”
The golden palm seal that was dozens of feet tall that had been imbued with the divine power appeared.
In the past, Lu Zhou had frequently used the Nine Cut Hand Seal to deal with his enemies. Who knew that the hand seal would be used against him today?
The Great Seal of Fearlessness collided with one of the seals with a loud explosion.
Boom!
The royal palace of Great Qin shook, but surprisingly, the buildings were not damaged. Runes and inscriptions appeared on the buildings, pillars, and grounds, shining with a green light.
At this time, the Solitary Diamond Seal, the Mystic Exoteric Circle Seal, and the Solar and Lunar Seal landed on the Great Seal of Fearlessness.
Along with the Grand Mystic Rush Treasure Seal, the other three seals successfully broke through the Great Seal of Fearlessness, which had been imbued with divine power, and shot toward Lu Zhou.
This breakthrough surprised Lu Zhou. He was above to raise his hand to block the incoming attacks when Cui Mingguang flashed and arrived before him, striking him.
Bang!
Lu Zhou was pushed back immediately.
Upon seeing this, the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion who were watching this indifferently just a moment ago widened their eyes in shock.
“Pavilion Master!”
“Master?!”
Cui Mingguang’s attack was strange.
Lu Zhou felt his qi and blood churning, and his Dantian’s sea of Qi felt like they were about to explode. When his surging qi rushed into his Dantian’s sea of Qi, the blue avatar appeared, suppressing the turbulent energy.
Lu Zhou looked as light as a swallow. Although he looked rather elegant and was not in a sorry state, there was no denying that he was pushed back.
Everyone in front of the Mystic Tranquility Hall stared at Lu Zhou intently.
As for the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion, all of them wore expressions of shock and disbelief on their faces.
Meanwhile, Cui Mingguang shook his head. His expression seemed to say, “Is this all you’ve got?” He thought the emperor of Great Qin was truly making a mountain out of a molehill.
“This is just the beginning, but you’re already unable to deal with it?” Ji Shi asked contemptuously.
“The emperor thinks too highly of you,” Zhou Chongshu said.
“Just Old Cui alone is enough to deal with you,” Tang Zibing chimed in.
The emperor of Great Qin, who was still seated on the dragon throne, was puzzled. It did not make sense at all. Before the four elders of Mount Li even had a chance to show their might, it seemed like Lu Zhou was already no match for them. He felt like there was something fishy going on.
Cui Mingguang said in a deep voice, “This is the Daoist’s Nine Cuts Hand Seals; otherwise known as the Seal of Gods.”
Then, Cui Mingguang pushed his hand out and flew toward Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou raised his hand and launched a palm seal as well.
When the two palm seals collided, Cui Mingguang appeared in front of Lu Zhou. He looked murderous as he struck with another palm seal and said, “Don’t blame me for being ruthless…”
Cui Mingguang was certain his palm seals would be able to break the golden palm seal like before. However, he heard a thunderous voice ring in the air at this moment.
“Get lost.”
The advanced and enhanced version of Thunderblast shattered in Lu Zhou’s hand.
The Thunder Seal flew toward Cui Mingguang’s face with an earth-shaking force. He felt his body go numb before he could even have a good look at the attack. A conical energy shot out and struck his chest, causing his back to arch before he was sent flying back. At the same time, he spat out mouthfuls of blood. Before his blood even landed on the ground, it had already been evaporated by the energy in the air.
Cui Mingguang’s hair and beard were in a mess.
Upon seeing this, the other three elders of Mount Li turned pale with fright. They hurriedly stood in a line in front of Cui Mingguang to shield him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The four elders of Mount Li were sent flying back, crashing into the pillar of the Mystic Tranquility Hall.
The pillar vibrated as runes and inscriptions lit up from top to bottom slowly like a dragon.
“…”
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
The four elders slid down and landed on the ground one after another.
Silence descended immediately.
“Ding! Killed a high-level puppet. Obtained: 10,000 merit points.”
Lu Zhou’s luck was not bad. He came today only to deal with the emperor of Great Qin. The arrival of the four elders of Mount Li disrupted his plan slightly. Luckily, he managed to trigger the kill effect of the advanced and enhanced Thunderblast Card. When the kill effect was triggered, it would also trigger the effect of grievously injuring his other opponents.
After landing on the ground, Cui Mingguang raised his head and looked at Lu Zhou in disbelief. His qi and blood surged in his body, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.
“Old Cui!”
The other three elders only felt pain and were not as injured as Cui Mingguang. They hurriedly rushed to Cui Mingguang to help him up.
Cui Mingguang stood up shakily. His beard was drenched in blood. He looked as though he had aged since he arrived. After he took a deep breath, he said, “The puppet is gone.”
“What?!” Ji Shi, Tang Zibing, and Zhou Chongshu exclaimed in unison.
The emperor of Great frowned as he rose to his feet.
Ji Shi said, “Impossible. Even a Venerable Master wouldn’t be able to kill the puppet with one strike! This…”
Lu Zhou flashed and returned to his original position. Then, he looked at the four elder of Mount Li and said indifferently, “You asked for this..”
