Chapter 441: Having Lived a Long Life, I Have Slain a Million Demons

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under the assault of the Fiend Extermination Alliance disciples, Duanmu Sheng retreated. He looked in the direction of the Evil Sky Pavilion while noting the numbness of his arms. He was not alone in this.

The disciples of the seven great sects looked at the Evil Sky Pavilion as well. Someone was shooting arrows from the shadows. It was not as simple as the arrow that had killed Jue Yuan. The arrow that killed Liu Rushi was much smaller. Liu Rushi did not even have a chance to unleash his skills! How could the disciples not be terrified?

A cloud of panic seemed to descend on the seven great sects. They were still stumped by this baffling turn of events when an energy arrow as thick as a tree trunk shining with a golden light shot out. It was glowing so brightly that it was difficult not to notice it.

Whizz!

The arrow’s speed was so fast that its noise was extraordinarily loud.

“Our turn!”

A powerful archer had to use his own hiding spot well while figuring out where the enemy’s archers were. It was easy for an archer to expose his own position.

The energy arrow that was as thick as a tree trunk seemed to carry the hopes of the seven great sects with it. From the westernmost part of the forest, it sailed toward the Evil Sky Pavilion in the east.

Everyone’s eyes were trained on that energy arrow.

The dark area in the Evil Sky Pavilion was instantly illuminated by this enormous energy arrow. At this moment, they thought they saw the figure of an old man standing casually before the pavilion.

The old man raised his wizened hand that glowed blue as though he was wearing a blue glove.

“Capture hand seal!”

Boom!

Sparks flew as though someone had set off fireworks. The energy arrow was caught by the old man and soon vanished.

“Old Villain Ji?”

“It’s the old villain!”

“He’s the one who fired that arrow!”

“Stand back!”

The seven flying chariots retreated. Their disciples retreated as well. If they could put more distance between them, the impact of the energy arrows would lessen as well. However, this move shook the morale of their side. Many of the seven great sects’ disciples were frightened and fell to the ground due to their legs weakening.

In fact, many of them who joined this assault had done so in the heat of the moment. They only realized how terrifying the Evil Sky Pavilion was now that they were on the battlefield. Let alone Old Villain Ji, just these few people were enough to intimidate the seven great sects!

“Greetings, Pavilion Master!”

“Greetings, master!”

The voices of the Evil Sky Pavilion’s members greeted Lu Zhou in thunderously loud voices.

Lu Zhou nodded and stroked his beard. His eyes were fixed on the forest far beyond the seven great sects. He projected his voice. “Ji Yuanchang, why are you hiding? Since when did you become such a coward?” Clearly, this question was not directed toward the seven great sects.

Ji Yuanchang was an old Godly Archer who was closest to his great limit. He did not affiliate with any sect for the longest time and produced many outstanding disciples in the past. The leader of the Divine Capital’s three Godly Archers, Chen Zhu, was only a disciple of his disciple.

As a Godly Archer, it was impossible for Hua Yuexing to not know the name Ji Yuanchang. She stared at the dark forest with a shocked expression.

Feng Qinghe replied in Ji Yuanchang’s stead, “Old senior Ji is a Godly Archer, it’s par for course that he doesn’t show himself. Old Villain Ji, aren’t you hiding as well?”

“Then, I shall show myself.” Lu Zhou stroked his beard as he stepped forward on air. He slowly emerged from the darkness before the Evil Sky Pavilion. With every step he took, a radiant circle would appear. He walked with ease and composure. A few dark strands of his hair glinted in the moonlight among his white-silver hair. Under this circumstance, Lu Zhou’s appearance seemed like an exact copy of Ji Tiandao when he had just transmigrated here.

The disciples of the seven great sects inhaled deeply. Their eyes were wide open as they stared at Lu Zhou in the sky. Although they could not see his face, based on his long robes, white hair, and the attitude of the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion, they were certain the old man was the master of the Evil Sky Pavilion, the all-powerful great villain who dominated the world under the heavens!

Lu Zhou gauged his remaining extraordinary power. The first arrow that killed Jue Yuan had used up one-fifth of his power. Jue Yuan was a dying man to begin with. The arrow merely expedited his death. The second arrow that killed Liu Rushi, the Sect Master of the Core Heart Sect, used one-third of the Heavenly Writing’s extraordinary power. Liu Rushi was a formidable opponent, after all. Then, he had used up one-third of his extraordinary power to catch Ji Yuanchang’s arrow. In other words, he was left with slightly less than one-third of his extraordinary power. For this reason, he decided to reveal himself. With this, he would probably be able to lure all his enemies out into the open.

Just as Lu Zhou had expected, Ji Yuanchang could not restrain himself when he heard Lu Zhou’s words. He hovered above the forest and loudly said, “Old villain! You killed my disciple’s disciple. I’ll end you with my own hands this very night!”

Ji Yuanchang, a powerful individual who had lived for several centuries, raised his bow and arrow.

“Chen Zhu was from the Other Tribe, Sanye... Are you fighting for an Other Tribesman?”

“Nonsense. I can definitely tell if he was an Other Tribesman or not!”

Lu Zhou shook his head. He completely ignored the leaders of the seven great sects before him. He stepped forward and said indifferently, “I thought you’d be a reasonable man since you’re the patriarch of the Godly Archers. Alas...”

Lu Zhou flipped his right palm. A mini vortex appeared above it.

There was a surge of Primal Qi that the seven great sects clearly felt. They retreated at once.

“Fall back! Fall back now!”

The disciples of the seven great sects were scared out of their wits by this.

“Stand your ground! We will succeed in this battle or die trying! Defectors shall be persecuted and killed!”

With that statement, the disciples of the seven great sects were cowed. They reluctantly stayed put. Could they fall back now? Of course not!

“This is our last chance before his great limit! Anyone who steps back will be cut down!” Feng Qinghe’s voice was laced with his Expansive Heavenly Energy. It stabilized the mental states of the disciples.

Yes, this was their last chance since the old villain’s great limit was approaching. They were already so far in, could they really back out now?

Meanwhile, Lu Zhou moved his hand and tossed the vortex out.

The Great Seal of Fearlessness!

There was nothing within sight that was to be feared.

The shining golden seal shot toward Ji Yuanchang at a swift speed.

Ji Yuanchang cried out and nocked an energy arrow. This scene was reminiscent of Chen Zhu who did his best to resist at Measure Heaven River. The disciple’s disciple and the master were similar. He grew stronger as his opponent was stronger, and he would kill a god if he was facing a god.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Several energy arrows hit the hand seal and merely caused a weak ripple on its surface. It did nothing to slow its advance.

The hand seal sailed past between two flying chariots.

Swoosh!

One-third of both flying chariots were damaged by the Great Seal of Fearlessness.

Dozens of disciples who did not know how to fly fell to the ground.

Loud resounding wails rang in the air.

The Great Seal of Fearlessness shot past the flying chariot and continued to sail toward Ji Yuanchang.

At this moment, Ji Yuanchang finally realized something was amiss. He immediately flew into the distance as if his life depended on it.

The Great Seal of Fearlessness seemed to have eyes of its own.

It struck Ji Yuanchang’s body at lightning speed.

Smack!

Ji Yuanchang disintegrated into ashes before they scattered in the air.

The forest was quiet as a graveyard now.

The disciples of the seven great sects lost all ability to think and breathe.

The confidence and morale that Feng Qinghe had so roused with great difficulty were shaken again. Under such circumstances, was it possible for one to maintain their composure?

This was a Deadly Strike Card. Lu Zhou did not even consider the cost. He had to take out this elite who could fire arrows from the shadows, no matter the cost!

Lu Zhou stepped forward again.

Feng Qinghe’s gaze was sharp and cold, but his heart was racing. His scalp prickled and turned numb. At this juncture, he had no other choice but to force himself to act. He said commandingly, “Disciples willing to sacrifice their lives for a good cause, charge!”

The cultivators around the seven flying chariots swarmed toward Lu Zhou like flies.

“Master!”

“Pavilion Master!”

On the Evil Sky Pavilion’s side, Duanmu Sheng and Little Yuan’er were the only ones who had been conserving their strength. Leng Luo was only left with enough energy to run away. When they saw this, they wanted to fend off the attackers. However, they could only stare at Lu Zhou helplessly at this moment.

A ripple spread out with every step Lu Zhou took. A Blue Lotus emerged under his feet, and his body shone with a faint blue light. ‘Having lived a long life, I have slain a million demons. They’ll have to pay a heavy price for this even if they’re from the seven great sects.’
