Chapter 657: Nothing Can Stop Me

There were five elites left. When they saw the Nine-leaf avatar easily killing everyone and the rain of flesh and blood, there was only one thought left in their minds: Flee!

It was not a shameful thing to flee. Even the Royal Tutor, the Nine-leaf Jiang Wenxu, thought of running away.

Lu Zhou had already marked them. After he had destroyed the seven flying chariots, he sped toward the five elites

Jiang Wenxu was already numbed to Lu Zhou’s shocking feats. At this moment, he seemed to be in a trance.

The avatar appeared above one of the enemy elites and pushed its palm down.

Boom!

The enemy elite died!

The avatar moved swiftly again, appearing above another enemy elite. Again, it pushed its palm down.

Boom!

In the five-finger pit, the so-called Eight-leaf elite was now a pulpy mess of flesh and blood.

After unleashing Abandon Wisdom five times, the five elites died in the same manner. They were smacked into the ground and turned into pulp by the extremely powerful palm seal.

“Ding! Killed five Nascent Divinity realm targets. Reward: 7,500 merit points.”

Lu Zhou glanced at the dashboard. He did not have much time left. Fortunately, many of his enemies had already been taken down.

Lu Zhou moved swiftly and appeared in the center of his enemies.

“Seeing One’s Nature, unmoving like the mountains, Dhyana Mudra!”

“Buddhist Golden Body!”

“The Great Dark Heaven Memorial, the Dark Heaven Starlight!”

“Guiyuan Sword Technique, Primal Restoration!”

“Qi that nourishes the heavens and the earth, Expansive Heavenly Energy!”

One by one, the names of techniques spilled out of Lu Zhou’s mouth as he cast them. He did not pay any mind to how many enemies he managed to kill and focused on attacking.

He stood in the heart of the force of the seven allied nations. He wanted to take out as many of them as he could.

‘These techniques should be enough.’

Above Liang Province City, the turbulent flow of energy obscured everyone’s vision!

The Other Tribesmen cultivators were like headless flies as they dropped from the skies. Many of them were dismembered by the energy swords. Before their blood could rain down, it was evaporated by the Expansive Heavenly Energy.

Lu Zhou remained in the center of his enemy, unmoving.

Time ticked past. Then, there was a notification.

“Ding! Peak Form Trial Card’s time is up. Cultivation base will be restored.”

When they saw the energy swords and sabers that filled the skies, the cultivators of Great Yan were stunned, forgetting how to breathe. Their expressions were either one of shock, fear, respect, awe, stunned, or disbelief.

Jiang Aijian gulped. A cold wind made him shudder and lose his grip on Dragonsong.

Dragonsong fell to the ground with a loud clang!

The crisp sound of energy that permeated the air just a moment ago abruptly stopped.

The entire world fell silent.

“Am I dreaming?” Zhu Honggong wondered, in a daze.

“Powerful... He’s f*cking... powerful!”

“He battled through 3,000 miles on his own and fought a million battalions with a single sword. The pavilion master is Great Yan’s god.”

Jiang Aijian wiped the sweat from his face. He raised his hand and Dragonsong flew back into his grip. “I’m sorry. I couldn’t help it...”

Dragonsong’s fall to the ground pulled everyone out of their stupor.

The appearance of a Nine-leaf cultivator was truly stunning. It was natural that the tides of battle had turned so easily in their favor when they had a Nine-leaf cultivator on their side.

Plots and schemes were nothing but jokes in the face of absolute power. Lu Zhou was a good example of this.

Meanwhile, when Si Wuya saw the fading energies, he ordered, “Clean them up! Kill all those who trespassed onto Great Yan’s lands!”

“Kill all those who trespassed onto Great Yan’s lands!”

Battle cries rang in the air.

The morales of the Great Yan cultivators who were suppressed by the seven nations earlier were greatly boosted.

“Charge!”

“Charge!”

Great Yan launched their counterattack.

In truth, after the appearance of a Nine-leaf cultivator, the remaining Other Tribesmen cultivators were like a platter of loose sand. They were too insignificant to even be considered a worthy enemy. Their backbone, the elites, had been single-handedly killed by Lu Zhou. The remaining survivors were no match for Great Yan’s force. Moreover, Great Yan had Eight-leaf cultivators here.

At this moment, Lu Zhou looked at the retreating Other Tribesmen armies indifferently. Then, he turned around and looked at Jiang Wenxu as he asked, “Are you satisfied now?”

Jiang Wenxu, who was already numbed, looked at Lu Zhou blankly. He stammered, “You... You’re a Ten-leaf cultivator?”

Lu Zhou asked, “Can a Ten-leaf cultivator do what I did?” He was trying to find out more about the red lotus domain from Jiang Wenxu.

“I... I don’t know.” Jiang Wenxu suppressed the fear in his heart. “I’ve never seen a Ten-leaf cultivator in action...”

“Do you know why I kept you alive for this long?” Lu Zhou asked.

Jiang Wenxu chuckled forlornly. Naturally, he knew. Nothing could help him at this moment. “The memory crystal?”

“I don’t like repeating myself. Give me the crystal,” Lu Zhou demanded.

“I’m going to die either way. What difference will it make if I surrender the crystal or not?” Jiang Wenxu asked.

“Of course, there is,” Lu Zhou said slowly, “I already know about the existence of the red lotus domain. Since you’re a Nine-leaf cultivator, the name of Jiang Wenxu won’t be unknown in the red lotus domain.”

“Are you threatening me?” Jiang Wenxu narrowed his eyes. “I’ve spent centuries here... I... I’m without ties in the other world. It’s up to you to kill me or torture me to death.”

Lu Zhou nodded. “Do you think I won’t be able to find the crystal just because you refuse to give it to me? Nothing can stop me, not even the red lotus.”

“Ji Tiandao, I admit that I’ve lost... utterly lost...” Jiang Wenxu said before he began to cough violently. He spat out a mouthful of blood that dripped onto his chest and arm. “You’re trying to find the crystal? You should just give up. I’ve sent half of it to the red lotus domain. In that world, you’re only as powerful as an ant...”

“Is the red coffin the transporter?” Lu Zhou asked tonelessly.

Jiang Wenxu was stunned. He looked at Lu Zhou silently before he said, “You sure have many secrets... Back then, was your death staged?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou fell deep into his thoughts. From their conversation, he could determine that before his transmigration, Ji Tiandao already had the potential to reach the Nine-leaf stage. However, he was killed by Jiang Wenxu.

“It’s meaningless to discuss whether my death is staged or not,” Lu Zhou said.

“You’re right... The winner takes all. I have nothing to say,” Jiang Wenxu replied.

“Did you kill Luo Shiyin?” Lu Zhou asked a shocking question.

Jiang Wenxu shuddered. An expression of shock flitted briefly across his face.

Lu Zhou caught the change and said, “You’re suppressing the progress of men, but she’s encouraging it. Since she’s here, she’d surely become an obstacle. It’s reasonable to think that you’d get rid of her.”

Jiang Wenxu chuckled. He bit back the pain and said slowly, “Indeed, I killed her. Humans are weak. Why must you seek answers? If you can’t stop a disaster, all you have to do is avoid it. Why must you look for trouble while forsaking an easy and peaceful life?”

Lu Zhou launched a palm seal at him.

Smack!

It struck Jiang Wenxu’s cheek mercilessly. Five bloodied finger marks appeared on his face. “It’s precisely because we’re weak that we must explore and break through our limits! How dare you talk down on others when you’re so stupid?” Lu Zhou said, “If you’d admit that you’re selfish, I might have thought better of you. Alas, in my eyes, you’re lesser than an ant.”

Jiang Wenxu felt his energy ebbing away as his blood continued to flow. His life aura was almost depleted. He chuckled weakly. “I admit... that I had selfish reasons. I won’t allow anyone to ruin my plans, be it Great Yan, or the 12 allied nations. At the very least, I’d prevented humans from being attacked by beasts and from being invaded by the red lotus domain! What did Luo Shiyin do? She studied the heaven and earth shackle and the golden lotus. If I didn’t destroy her and her notes, the red lotus domain would’ve destroyed this place a long time ago! I’ve done so much, can’t I have something for myself?”

“Where are the remaining parts of Luo Shiyin’s notes?” Lu Zhou asked threateningly. He did not want to listen to Jiang Wenxu’s defense.

Jiang Wenxu shook his head and said with a chuckle, “I’ve destroyed it a long time ago... Are you disappointed? Also, her name’s not Luo Shiyin!”

Lu Zhou frowned slightly. “Who’s Luo Shiyin, then?”

“You want to know? I’m not telling you... You’ve won against me with your cultivation base, but I’ll haunt you forever with these secrets...”

As soon as Jiang Wenxu finished speaking, a thin sword formed by blood materialized in his hand. He cried out as he stabbed it at Lu Zhou, “My final strike!”

Lu Zhou shook his head indifferently. Black runes covered Unnamed as he slashed at Jiang Wenxu.

Bam!

The blood sword broke.

When Jiang Wenxu saw Unnamed that wrapped in black runes, his pupils widened. His lips trembled as he said, “Wait!”

An energy sword appeared from Unnamed, at this moment, and pierced Jiang Wenxu’s heart.
