The Fiend Temple's Duan Xing and the others swiftly followed behind Lu Zhou.
He looked up and saw the flying chariot.
Through the trees, the huge black flying chariot resembled a long and narrow rectangle.
The two sides of the flying chariot were decorated with thick Formation veins. Cultivators stood on both sides of the chariot as it flew.
The lineup, the number of people, and the extravagance were all unprecedented.
The others stopped in their tracks and looked at the flying chariot intently.
When the flying chariot was near Radiant Cloud Forest, it slowed down significantly.
In comparison,
The Fiend Temple's flying chariot was like a child's play. It was not worth mentioning.
Duan Xing looked at the flying chariot and said,
"I heard that after the Nether Sect annexed the Righteous Sect and the Clarity Sect, their strength rose greatly. In less than half a year, the number of members joining the Nether Sect increased by four to four times … I didn't expect them to have a new flying chariot as well."
What he did not know was that Yu Zhenghai's flying chariot had long since been destroyed during the sparring session on the Lotus Dais.
Lu Zhou glanced at it before he continued walking with his hands on his back.
He did not go to the top of Cloud Shine Peak.
Instead, he walked towards a protruding boulder. On both sides of the boulder, there were a few large trees that were bent and leaning outwards.
It was also the perfect place to enjoy the cool summer air.
She looked at Lu Zhou's retreating back as though he was taking a stroll in the park.
Duan Xing nodded.
A subordinate next to him said, "Although Cult Master Yu is ostentatious and has a grand lineup … I still think that Old Senior is a true expert who has returned to his natural state."
Duan Xing looked back at his subordinate.
He was startled.
"That makes sense," Duan Xing praised.
"…"
The old senior had returned to his natural state, taking one step at a time. He was steady and solid, without any of those messy flowery airs.
That was how the strong should be.
Duan Xing and the others came to the top of the boulder.
The others stood behind, not daring to move forward.
Duan Xing looked into the distance. The huge flying chariot had stopped.
Duan Xing bowed and said, "Old senior, if you don't make a move now, when will you?"
Lu Zhou said nothing. He merely turned to look at Yu Shangrong meaningfully before he turned back to the flying chariot while stroking his beard.
Duan Xing's heart trembled. His palms were covered in sweat.
That was a stupid thing to say.
The old senior was watching from the side, naturally waiting to reap the benefits.
Rumor had it that Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong's cultivation bases were on par with their masters. There were even people who said that the student had surpassed the master.
Duan Xing did not know if he could defeat Yu Lan, but he knew that Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong were Eight-leaf elites.
Furthermore —
The Nether Sect's Four Great Protectors, Hua Chongyang, Bai Yuqing, Yang Yan, and Di Qing, were all first-rate elites. Apart from these four, there were many other elites in the Nether Sect scattered throughout the lands.
There was also the Darknet Sect Master, Si Wuya. No one knew where he was hiding.
If the old senior wanted to take them down, it would be best for him to bide his time and observe them in secret.
After some analysis in his heart, Duan Xing immediately felt that the old senior was really an expert. He was not like the rumors outside, a hot-tempered person who only had martial strength.
…
A huge flying chariot hovered above the Hundred Leaves Lake.
Yu Shangrong crossed his arms and stood on the surface of Hundred Leaves Lake with his eyes closed.
The Azure Dragon Palace's First Seat, Hua Chongyang, was the first to step forward. He performed a cupped-fist salute and said, "Greetings, Mister Second."
The Hundred Leaves Lake was quiet as usual.
Yu Shangrong did not even open his eyes. He did not move at all.
The clear surface of the lake was like a transparent mirror that reflected Yu Shangrong's chiseled face.
Hua Chongyang felt slightly awkward.
He said again, "Greetings, Mister Second."
"…"
Just like before, Yu Shangrong did not respond.
Bai Yuqing, Yang Yan, and Di Qing walked out. The four of them stood in a row.
The four of them spoke in unison.
"Greetings, Mister Second."
"…"
When they saw Yu Shangrong seemed to be asleep, the four of them exchanged a look, at a loss.
At this moment, Yu Zhenghai, who was sitting in the flying chariot, laughed loudly. His voice swept across the Hundred Leaves Lake.
The fish at the bottom of the lake flew out and leaped out of the water, creating ripples on the surface of the lake.
Yu Shangrong opened his eyes.
The Four Great Protectors stood at his sides and bowed. "Sect master."
Yu Zhenghai walked out with his hands on his back. He looked down at Yu Shangrong who was at the center of the lake. Although Yu Shangrong seemed tiny in the middle of the huge lake, nobody doubted he could unleash enough power to destroy the entire Hundred Leaves Lake.
"Second Junior Brother, how long has it been since we last met? Why have you become so cold and heartless? These four Great Protectors of mine are top-notch elites. They've always wanted to spar with you. Even though they know they'll lose, they still want to try. Why won't you give them a chance? "Yu Zhenghai asked.
Yu Shangrong finally spoke.
"I'm sorry, Eldest Senior Brother …"
In other words, he was rejecting Yu Zhenghai.
Yu Zhenghai asked, "Why?"
"Over the years, I've fought against a total of 135 people … Only one of them died under my sword."
Hua Chongyang, Bai Yuqing, Yang Yan, and Di Qing were speechless.
"Sword Maniac Chen Wenjie, Sword Slave Wang Hai Chao of the Desert North, Daoist Wang Wang, Sword Emperor Yue Zhengrong of the Lou Lan Clan of the Western Region … All of them died under my sword." He did not need to say more names.
These titles were enough to strike fear into the hearts of others.
Yu Shangrong looked up. He glanced at the Four Great Protectors and smiled faintly.
"Moreover, I don't suggest the four of you watch the battle."
The Four Great Protectors exchanged a look again.
'I can accept it if you say the four of us aren't qualified to fight you.
However, they didn't even have the right to watch the battle. What kind of twisted logic was this?
"I don't want to be traumatized."
Hua Chongyang, Bai Yuqing, Yang Yan, and Di Qing were speechless.
Ordinary elites of the sword path were obsessed with swordsmanship.
There were many who were skilled in swordsmanship. However, after witnessing Yu Shangrong's swordsmanship, they would lose all sense of inferiority.
Yu Zhenghai laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry about that.
"You don't have to worry about that. Those people you mentioned are all weak people. If they can't even accept the difference in strength, they don't deserve to join the Nether Sect. "
"That's good."
Yu Zhenghai pushed away from the ground with one foot. His body was as light as a feather as he flew forward.
Then, he plummeted.
In just a blink of an eye, he landed on the surface of the water.
What was even more shocking was that the surface of the water was calm. There were no ripples at all.
This was enough to show Yu Zhenghai's terrifying control.
Yu Shangrong no longer crossed his arms. He cupped his fists slightly. "Greetings, Eldest Senior Brother."
He was being rude.
"After you, junior brother."
"You're older than me, senior brother. “
"After you, junior brother, you're still young."
"In that case, let's go together …"
Splash!
At the shore of the Hundred Leaves Lake that was several miles in circumference, the powerful Primal Qi resonated and rose into the air.
The water droplets fell.
Energy shrouded the water droplets as they fell.
Each water droplet formed an energy awl.
Pfft! Pfft!
The lotus leaves turned into a hornet's nest.
The huge chariot retreated.
Si Wuya retreated as well.
At the center of the lake, the two of them remained where they were.
However, the energy awls could not harm them at all.
Before they could even get close to them, they dissipated.
Before all the water droplets fell …
Energy seals that looked like starlight appeared behind Yu Zhenghai.
"Jasper Saber."
On the flying chariot, the Jasper Saber spun and descended.
At the same time, it was shrouded in energy as it spun like a windmill.
This was the Great Dark Heaven Memorial, the Dark Heaven Starlight.
"Longevity Sword."
Zing!
The Longevity Sword flew out of its scabbard.
It rained swords. This was the Guiyuan Sword Technique, the Sword Devil's Destiny.
The saber and the sword collided.
…
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Duan Xing's mouth was agape. His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
'Is this a battle?
Even if I don't roam the cultivation world, I'll still be paid well as a mountain excavator, right? '
As for the Fiend Temple's disciples, they were dumbstruck. Nobody knew what they were thinking.
A battle of this level had exceeded their understanding. It was beyond their imagination.
Although they had simulated various terrifying battles in their minds, they were nothing compared to what they were witnessing right now.
Inside the Hundred Leaves Lake.
The two of them remained motionless.
The saber and sword were already clashing in the air.
Duan Xing exclaimed in admiration, "So, this is the power of an Eight-leaf cultivator?"
If even his disciple was this heaven-defying, how powerful was Ji Tiandao at his peak?
Duan Xing could not help but ask, "O-old senior … Who do you think will win?"
"Let's continue watching," Lu Zhou gave a neutral answer.
"You're right, old senior."
Lu Zhou did not want the battle to end too quickly.
The cooldown period was about four days away.
If the battle ended, Lu Zhou would have no choice but to ride on Whitzard and give chase.
This was what Lu Zhou wanted to see as well. It was within his expectations.
The two of them were evenly matched.
Meanwhile, the Four Great Protectors who were watching from the huge flying chariot understood what Yu Shangrong meant.
Yu Shangrong was able to achieve such might and destructive power with his Primal Qi alone.
The difference between them was no longer as simple as the difference between sprouting leaves.
Even if they were both Eight-leaf elites, there was a world of difference between them.
The last drop of water fell to the ground.
The Jasper Saber and Longevity Sword separated and returned to their respective owners.
Yu Zhenghai wielded his saber with one hand. His arm was straight.
He wielded his sword with his right hand as he stared at Yu Zhenghai.
The first round of the contest was just to test the waters.
Yu Zhenghai laughed and said, "Indeed, Second Junior Brother's cultivation base has improved a lot."
"Eldest Senior Brother as well."
"Does this mean that your Guiyuan Sword Technique has reached the third soul, Junior Brother?" Yu Zhenghai was puzzled.
Those who mastered the sword path would become one with their sword. It was as though they were one with their sword.
"I heard that nobody has seen Eldest Senior Brother unleash the Great Dark Heaven Memorial's Sovereign Descent. I'd like to see it for myself."
As soon as Yu Zhenghai finished speaking.
The two of them tapped the water with the tips of their toes.
This meant the battle had escalated.
Energy appeared on both the Jasper Saber and the Longevity Sword.
When Hua Chongyang saw this, he raised his palm. "Retreat and climb higher!"
"Understood!"
The members of the Nether Sect did not dare to be careless.
Duan Xing shuddered inwardly. He had the urge to flee the scene. "Old senior, why don't we … retreat?"
Lu Zhou looked at him indifferently. He did not move.
Duan Xing felt slightly relieved.
They were several miles away from the Hundred Leaves Lake. The sky was clear, and the air was clear.
Naturally, he would be affected. However, he was a Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm elite. It would not be a problem for him to block the attack.
Duan Xing nodded inwardly. He thought to himself, 'If I'm affected, I'll have to perform well. The Fiend Temple's survival depends on this. I can't drop the ball at this crucial moment.'
