Chapter 707: 707

Chapter 707: Everyone Below the Nine-leaf Stage is Trash

Jie Kai’s eyes flashed with killing intent.

The effects of Intoxicating Spring Breeze were at their peak. All of the Eight-leaf cultivators had lost their ability to fight. There would no longer be a fight to the death like what happened earlier.

Zhu Tianyuan’s breathing had turned shallow. He looked up and chuckled before he said, “It’s… too late… Do you know why… I came to the Divine Capital?” He burst into a coughing fit before he continued to say, “That notebook… I’ve given it… given it to Brother Ji. If you have the guts… you can demand it from him.”

Jie Kai’s brows knitted together immediately. This was the outcome that he wished for the least. Flames of anger burned in his heart as he said, “If I can’t get my hands on the notes, I’ll have no choice but to send everyone to hell.”

Zhu Tianyuan shook his head. He had heard his fair share of insincere words. Yet, none of the words he had heard in his life were as disgusting as Jie Kai’s words.

Since Jie Kai had already offended all the Eight-leaf cultivators, he would not let them survive no matter what. He walked toward Zhu Tianyuan, drawing closer and closer.

At this moment, above the Evil Sky Pavilion, Little Yuan’er shouted, “Hey!”

“Hm?” Jie Kai turned around and saw Conch blowing on the Lantian Jade Flute.

Beams of red energy shot from the jade flute, zeroing on Jie Kai as they sailed in the air like wind blades.

‘A sound technique?’

The flute’s melody was rushed, but the control was rather skillful. Clearly, Conch had progressed greatly in her ability to control Qi with sound.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The sound technique’s attacks avoided the Eight-leaf cultivators as they shot toward Jie Kai.

Whizz!

Jie Kai summoned his avatar immediately!

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Jie Kai deflected the wind blades. He launched himself into the air with his grand technique after that and shot toward Little Yuan’er and Conch.

Little Yuan’er brought Conch with her as she moved swiftly with her Seven Stars Cloud Treading Steps.

“Die!” Jie Kai did not hold back as he chased after them like an eagle pursuing chicks. When his avatar shot past the top of the Evil Sky Pavilion, he suddenly heard a crisp sound.

It was the sound of energy resonating.

Jie Kai came to a halt immediately and looked beyond the barrier. What he saw made his blood curdle. He saw a 150-foot avatar with a flaming golden lotus charging toward him. It was upon him in just a blink of an eye.

Bam!

The Nine-leaf avatar stood in Jie Kai’s spot in the air as it towered above the Evil Sky Pavilion.

There were no doubts about the outcome.

Jie Kai was sent flying by the flaming golden lotus and spat out blood. Waves and waves of terror washed over him at this moment. The huge impact on his chest had crushed his internal organs. He could feel his sea of Qi quaking and surging. His 100-foot avatar was too insignificant to mention in front of a 150-foot avatar; he had no choice but to retract his avatar.

The burning golden lotus and leaves emitted an imposing aura, causing fear and panic to besiege Jie Kai.

“Old Villain Ji?” Jie Kai had yet to land on the ground.

With his feet on the flaming golden lotus, Lu Zhou pushed his palm forward, launching the Fiend Monk Hand Seal. It grabbed Jie Kai like a dragon’s claw and pulled him back, holding Jie Kai in midair.

The battle ended just like that.

The other Eight-leaf cultivators were invigorated. When they saw the flaming lotus and the 150-foot avatar, they were shocked and in awe.

“Welcome back, Senior Ji!”

All of them rose to their feet with great difficulty.

Zhu Tianyuan and Ye Tianxin were the only ones who remained seated. They looked at Lu Zhou with pale faces that contained hints of delight.

Zhu Tianyuan chuckled and said, “I knew that… you’d win!”

“Master…” Little Yuan’er and Conch flew back from the distance.

“Master, quick! Beat this bad guy to death! He poisoned everyone when you weren’t around!” Little Yuan’er pointed at Jie Kai who had been immobilized by the Fiend Monk Hand Seal.

Jie Kai’s eyes were brimming with fear, and he trembled uncontrollably.

Lu Zhou waved his hand, and his flaming 150-foot avatar vanished.

“Are you hurt?” Lu Zhou asked.

Little Yuan’er shook her head and said, “He couldn’t catch up to me… I’m fine, but the others aren’t so lucky.” Then, she proceeded to recount everything that had transpired to Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou nodded calmly after listening to Little Yuan’er words. He understood now. Then, he looked at the people on the ground and raised his left palm.

To gain the power of immaterial existence so that we can visit many places without having to move, reaping many benefits.

It was the Heavenly Writing’s power of healing.

Lu Zhou tossed a blue lotus out from his left hand, and the blue lotus descended on the others as it grew bigger.

Vitality surged and filled the plaza of the Evil Sky Pavilion.

The others felt their bodies being nourished and healed. Their injuries were growing less serious, and the toxin from the poison was being neutralized.

Zhu Tianyuan, who suffered the heaviest injury, and Ye Tianxin had most of their injuries healed in just an instant.

Meanwhile, the injured Eight-leaf cultivators’ Extraordinary Eight Meridians were fixed by the blue lotus’s vitality. They healed quickly. Much of the poison was neutralized by the Heavenly Writing’s power as well.

The Eight-leaf cultivators appeared delighted.

The lotus leaves covered the ground and propped the others up until they slowly vanished.

Lu Zhou did not withhold his extraordinary power this time. He poured everything he had into the healing technique.

‘If someone does me a favor, I’ll repay it tenfold.’ After all, he had to behave in a manner befitting of the Patriarch of the Evil Sky Pavilion.

The other Eight-leaf cultivators rose to their feet again and thanked him profusely.

“Thank you for healing us, Senior Ji!”

“Thank you, Senior Ji!”

Lu Zhou turned around and looked at the trembling Jie Kai as he asked, “Antidote?”

Jie Kai pointed at the vial at his waist as tears threatened to spill out of his eyes.

Little Yuan’er flew over and plucked the vial from Jie Kai’s waist and passed it to Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou received it and sniffed the vial. Then, he nodded and said, “Take the antidote, just to be safe.”

Although his healing power had purged them of most of the toxins, it would be a waste not to use the antidote when it was available. He tossed the vial to the others.

Zhu Tianyuan caught it. He sniffed the vial and nodded. “It’s indeed the antidote… Jie Kai, you’re truly a disgrace to the Ancient Saint Cult.”

“M-mercy…” Jie Kai waved his hands and stammered. “S-Senior Ji, this is all a misunderstanding. Senior Ji, you’re a Nine-leaf cultivator… I… Even if I’m bold enough to challenge the heavens, how could I possibly dare to challenge you?”

Lu Zhou said indifferently, “You were fighting my Seven-leaf disciple with your Eight-leaf cultivation base… Just to be fair, I’ll fight you with my Nine-leaf cultivation base. If you can win, I’ll let you go.”

“…” Jie Kai shuddered as goosebumps rose on his skin.

Upon hearing these words, the other Eight-leaf cultivators nodded. Lu Zhou’s words made much sense.

Jie Kai was chasing a Seven-leaf cultivator when he was an Eight-leaf cultivator. Now, it was his turn to be chased by a Nine-leaf cultivator. Where did his courage go now?

Jie Kai looked down for a moment; his eyes were bloodshot. He looked at Zhu Tianyuan and the others before he gritted his teeth and burst into a flurry of movement!

Bam!

Jie Kai had barely gone far when the 150-feet Nine-leaf golden lotus appeared in front of him at the speed of light.

There was no doubt about the outcome.

Lu Zhou appeared calm as he looked down at the trapped Jie Kai.

Jie Kai endured the pain as he tapped his meridian points to burn his sea of Qi! With frenzied movements, he shot westward!

Whizz!

An avatar appeared!

Once again, the Nine-leaf golden lotus avatar appeared in front of Jie Kai in just a blink of an eye.

Bam!

Jie Kai was sent flying and landed in front of the others.

Lu Zhou remained indifferent.

Every inch of the golden radiance radiating from the 150-foot avatar and the flaming golden lotus made Jie Kai lose all intentions of resisting. With this, he seemed to have lost his mind. This time, he did not dodge. Instead, he shot toward Ye Tianxin who was closest to him. “Old Senior Ji, you forced me to do this! If I’m going to die, I’ll drag someone with me!”

Ye Tianxin frowned.

At this moment, Jie Kai prepared to leap and summoned his avatar.

Boom!

Alas, before Jie Kai’s feet even left the ground, Lu Zhou had already descended from the sky and landed on Jie Kai’s back.

Jie Kai was slammed into the limestone floor. His sea of Qi shattered, and his Primal Qi leaked out of him and returned to the surroundings.

“Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 1,500 merit points.”

Jie Kai had used his grand technique with every move. However, the differences between his and Lu Zhou’s cultivation bases, speed, and power were as different as heaven and hell.

Lu Zhou had just shown, with his actions, how everyone below the Nine-leaf stage was trash.

Lu Zhou gauged the remaining Primal Qi in his sea of Qi. He had just the right amount now. The overflowing energies from the eight leaves were finally calming down, and his sea of Qi had stabilized.

“…”

The other Eight-leaf cultivators gulped as they looked at Jie Kai who was stuck in the limestone floor. An Eight-leaf cultivator fighting against a Nine-leaf cultivator was like an ant trying to move a tree. Jie Kai truly did not know his strength. This was the power of a Nine-leaf cultivator. With this, the Eight-leaf cultivators were even more motivated to reach the Nine-leaf stage.

At this time, Lu Zhou retracted his avatar and stood before the others. He no longer looked at Jie Kai. “Since you’ve treated me with sincerity, I’ll respond in kind… I have always differentiated between good and bad.”

The area outside of the Evil Sky Pavilion’s great hall was silent and still.

The others bowed.

“We’re deeply impressed by your righteousness, Senior Ji!”

“That shameless fiend, Jie Kai, got what he deserved.”

At this moment, the elders and disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion and the other Great Yan cultivators returned in groups.

Lu Zhou turned to look at the Great Yan cultivators.

There were more than 100 cultivators. Including those who did not enter the barrier, there were thousands of them. They rose into the air and bowed in unison.

“Thank you for your teachings and demonstration, Senior Ji!”
