Chapter 545: Fight between Eight-leaf Cultivators

In the skies above the Evil Sky Pavilion, the blue light was almost indistinguishable from the blue sky.

“Your Majesty!” Su Sheng and Gu Yiran cried as they fought to stabilize themselves in the air. They kept flipping to minimize the impact. Even then, it did not keep their blood essence from surging and numbing their limbs. The duo rode on the momentum with great difficulty before they finally managed to catch Liu Ge.

Finally, the trio managed to regain their footing in the air. They looked at Lu Zhou who was still sitting cross-legged with his eyes shut. He seemed calm and peaceful. It was as though nothing had happened. What a baffling situation!

Mingshi Yin flew into the air above the Evil Sky Pavilion and shouted, “Hey, hey, hey... you three shameless old farts! You can’t even defeat my master who’s asleep! Aren’t you ashamed of yourselves?”

Liu Ge raised his hand and suppressed his surging blood essence.

Su Sheng and Gu Yiran looked at Lu Zhou who remained unscathed.

“Your Majesty, are you alright?” Su Sheng asked.

“I’m alright.” Liu Ge’s chaotic Primal Qi gradually calmed down.

They did not even look at Mingshi Yin. There was no need for them to waste their time on a disciple who only had a Four or Five-leaf cultivation base.

“Continue.” Liu Ge’s eyes shone with determination.

In fact, at this moment, the thought of retreating had already appeared in Su Sheng and Gu Yiran’s minds. Even the super heaven-grade weapon, High Void, could not pierce the peculiar energy. Was there a point in continuing? This was different from the battlefield. On the battlefield, it was a battle of killing techniques and willpower. However, what was the point of applying it here? However, every person had their own roles to play. When their master gave the order, as subordinates, they would have to obey.

Liu Ge pointed at the blue radiance around Lu Zhou and said, “Look closely.”

Su Sheng and Gu Yiran widened their eyes and studied it.

“I see... the power is decreasing.”

This was why Liu Ge was bold enough to continue. He had noticed the blue energy had weakened after a round of attack.

“I’m willing to be the vanguard.”

“Me too.”

The two generals declared their loyalty.

Liu Ge opened his palm. High Void that had dropped on the barrier vibrated before it flew back into his hand. The radiance from the red veins had disappeared as swiftly as it had appeared. “Good... It’s been a long time since I’ve fought alongside both of you.”

The Evil Sky Pavilion’s four elders flew up the top of the pavilion and stood in a row. The existence of a super heaven-grade weapon had exceeded their expectations. They could do nothing to help at this juncture. It was precisely because they were experienced individuals that they knew acting recklessly was akin to throwing their lives away in vain.

“You’ll have to go through me!” Huang Shijie rose up into the air at this moment. Primal Qi burst forth from under his feet, and he swiftly drew level with the others.

“Huang Shijie... Since you want to die, I’ll fulfill your wish!” Gu Yiran adjusted his direction and glanced at Liu Ge and Su Sheng.

The three of them exchanged a look.

“The fight isn’t over until the fat lady sings!” Huang Shijie a palm upward; an umbrella-shaped energy seal appeared above his head. Shortly after, the umbrella-shaped energy seal spun and shot energy needles in the air.

“I didn’t take you for someone who repays the kindness he received from another person, Island Master Huang,” Pan Litian said.

“The pavilion master had held the Penglai Island up with a single hand. It was a shocking move, and an amazing one.”

The others nodded approvingly. Huang Shijie was an old Eight-leaf elite, after all. It was not a problem for him to deal with Gu Yiran. However, what could be done about Su Sheng and Liu Ge?

The others looked over.

Su Sheng was already standing above Lu Zhou. He struck with densely packed talisman seals.

“Confucian talisman seals!” Zuo Yushu shook her head. “As expected of an old, sly fox. They can tell that brother’s energy could be chipped away. That’s why he’s using such low-rank talisman seals.”

“Despicable!”

“Shameless!”

“Low class!”

Hua Wudao turned to look at Mingshi Yin who spoke last. “What’s low-class about this?”

“It doesn’t matter. Let’s just continue hurling insults at them.” Mingshi Yin glared at Su Sheng.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Talisman seals descended. They were all negated by the blue energy around Lu Zhou.

minutes later, Su Sheng dove and launched a palm seal.

Boom!

The blue energy repelled it.

Su Sheng grunted as he flipped backward. He retreated 100 meters back. He was truly frightened. ‘Senior Ji is still unconscious. How are we supposed to fight him when he wakes up?’

“Your Majesty, the energy has weakened again.” Although Su Sheng was hit by the backlash, his attack was still effective.

Liu Ge nodded in satisfaction. High Void thrummed slightly in his hand. He turned around and looked at the battle between Gu Yiran and Huang Shijie. The two opponents were moving further and further away. They were evenly matched. For a time, it was difficult to tell who would win.

Su Sheng said gruffly, “There’s no need to worry about General Gu, Your Majesty. General Gu and I are both of the Confucian school. He’s someone who fights more valiantly as the battle drags on. I believe that he’ll defeat Huang Shijie soon enough.”

“Good,” Liu Ge replied. Then, he raised his sword. The red veins glowed again.

Su Sheng joined his palms together, and a talisman seal appeared. “I’ll always be by your side, Your Majesty.”

The Evil Sky Pavilion’s four elders’ expressions were grave as they watched this scene.

“The pavilion master’s defensive energy seems to be weakening.”

“Su Sheng and Liu Ge are trying to wear it down... They’re too despicable.”

“Let’s do something to draw their attention later.”

The four elders exchanged looks.

Su Sheng and Liu Ge circulated their Primal Qi as they flew toward Lu Zhou.

The countless talisman seals cordoned off a huge round area.

Su Sheng wanted to whittle away Lu Zhou’s energy in this manner to create an opening for Liu Ge.

When the talisman seals were about to hit...

Awoo!!!

From behind the cliff of the eastern pavilion, a snow-white figure suddenly appeared.

Whizz!

An Eight-leaf avatar materialized!

Boom!

A tidal wave of Primal Qi rippled out of the 100-foot avatar, shattering all the talisman seals. The seals fell down like snowflakes.

Su Sheng was caught off guard. He reeled back and flipped in the air. He was already injured by Lu Zhou’s energy before. With this, he suffered an even greater injury. His blood essence roiled. Blood surged up his throat before he spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Who is it?” Liu Ge turned around and flipped his palm. A palm seal sailed out to break Su Sheng’s fall...

The 100-foot female avatar towered in front of Lu Zhou. Under the shining golden avatar, eight leaves spun slowly around the Golden Lotus. A white-clad woman stood in the avatar. It was none other than Ye Tianxin.

“Sixth Junior Sister?” Mingshi Yin exclaimed in shock.

The four elders were also shocked by this.

“Is this the Evil Sky Pavilion’s sixth disciple, Ye Tianxin?”

“Sixth Senior Sister... is at the Eight-leaf stage!” Zhu Honggong sounded incredulous.

Meanwhile, a group of female cultivators gathered on the plaza inside the Evil Sky Pavilion’s barrier. They formed a square Formation and said in unison, “Welcome back, Palace Master!”

They were once the female disciples of the Derived Moon Palace and regarded Ye Tianxin as their leader. Now that Ye Tianxin was back as an Eight-leaf cultivator, they could hardly remain calm. They looked up at her with tears in their eyes, knowing that their leader had returned.

Ye Tianxin did not respond to them. She knew there were more pressing matters to deal with at the moment.

From the conversations in his surroundings, Liu Ge knew who the white-clad woman was. “I’ve truly underestimated Brother Ji. To think that he has such an outstanding disciple! Eight-leaf, Ye Tianxin?” A hint of confusion could be heard in his voice, and his eyes were filled with doubt, shock, and disbelief.

Ye Tianxin looked up with a cold expression and said, “A fate worse than death awaits those who trespass into the Evil Sky Pavilion.” She had just recently attained the Eight-leaf stage, and her avatar had a domineering presence. Her Blue Waves Technique rolled toward her opponents like a tidal wave.

With both hands on High Void, Liu Ge sliced through the waves. He stepped forward.

Su Sheng released a blast of Primal Qi as well and said, “You have a death wish...”
