Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong exchanged a look. Then, they guarded their two junior sisters as they flew toward the golden cage.
The cultivators from the Sky Martial Court and the Flying Star House looked at Nie Qingyun and followed suit. With Nie Qingyun and Sikong Beichen around, the Sky Martial Court and the Flying Star House did not dare to act recklessly. The Sky Martial Court had Yu Chenshu, the only Ten-leaf cultivator who had mastered the karmic fire. The Flying Star House and the Sky Martial Court were close. They had a Ten-leaf cultivator as well.
More than 10,000 cultivators flew at top speed.
It was a spectacular sight.
"Where's he going?"
"I don't know. Keep going!"
The cultivators kept flying. Apart from Ten-leaf cultivators, most of them could not catch up to Lu Zhou and Ye Zhen.
However, Ten-leaf cultivators could not go too far away, so they had to make do with the rest.
…
Lu Zhou's expression was calm as he chased after the Binding Cage.
Ye Zhen had lost three lives in a row. He was also heavily injured. He was still at the crucial moment of sprouting leaves. He wanted nothing more than to find a hole to hide in forever. Ye Zhen landed on the observatory platform at the northernmost point of the 12 main peaks.
His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the Binding Cage that was pursuing him. Then, he looked at his red lotus.
"Open!"
He frantically channeled his power into the red lotus, hoping to reach the Ten-leaf stage at the last moment. This was his only hope of turning the tables.
The Binding Cage shone with a powerful golden light that covered the entire observatory platform.
The observatory was dozens of feet wide. In the circular area, there were four huge pillars that stood in four different directions.
Six huge rocks hovered in the air near the observatory platform. They seemed to be bound by chains formed from special Daoist veins.
The Binding Cage landed on the observatory platform.
Boom!
When the squarish golden pillar of light landed on the Star Observation Platform, the golden cage enveloped the 170 zhang tall Jiu Ying on the Star Observation Platform.
'What's this?'
Ye Zhen looked up at the sky.
Even though he had read a lot of books and was well-versed in many cultivation paths, he was still at a loss when he saw the golden cage.
At this moment, he realized how shallow his understanding of this old man was.
The number of leaves could no longer reflect one's cultivation base.
The cage disappeared.
Lu Zhou dove and landed on the observatory platform. He stroked his beard with one hand and placed the other on his back. He looked at Ye Zhen indifferently. "You're quite lucky."
"What luck?"
Ye Zhen was confused.
Lu Zhou looked at the spinning red lotus and said, "You have nowhere to run."
"Not necessarily."
Ye Zhen planted his feet on the ground.
The Dao patterns on the observatory lit up.
Hiss —
Ye Zhen's Confucian robes were torn by the energy wind and scattered in the wind.
His body was engraved with clear Confucian runes, red symbols, lines, and the image of a Nine-Headed Infant.
The tens of thousands of cultivators who had rushed over looked at this scene in shock.
Ye Zhen's performance was refreshing everyone's understanding of him. The world only knew that his cultivation was unfathomable and that he was well-read, but they didn't expect that he actually had such an unknown side to him. This was no longer a matter of believing in Jiu Ying, but carving Jiu Ying into his blood and soul …
The Confucian robe was torn into pieces, forming the final talisman paper, the talisman seal.
The karmic fire burned his Confucian robe and danced wildly on the observatory platform.
The picture of the Nine Infants shone faintly on Ye Zhen's body.
Lu Zhou looked at Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen said, "Over the past 100 years, I've created many new cultivation paths. For example, I've changed human avatars, formed different energy seals, and … allowed my avatar to move and kill without restraint.
"This is the Life Changing Technique. I'll sacrifice one of my lives in exchange for the most powerful attack. "
He struck with his palm.
One of the Nine Infants' three heads bent down. Red energy surged, and the runes in the air surged with power.
"You're trying to kill yourself? You're dreaming. "
Lu Zhou raised his palm. The last Thunderblast Card was hurled toward Ye Zhen's body.
Under the watchful eyes of the others …
A palm seal that was laced with thunderblast descended.
The shredded Confucian robe in the air tried to block the thunderblast.
Boom!
The thunderblast shattered the runes in the air and struck Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen grunted.
Ye Zhen was sent flying by the thunderblast. He spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Lu Zhou stepped forward. Unnamed appeared in his hand again. Black runes swirled around the tip of the sword. With a flash, the grand technique appeared above Ye Zhen's Nine Infants avatar.
He mercilessly slashed at the half-bent Nine Infants' head.
Whoosh!
An energy sword wrapped around Unnamed and sliced through the head.
Ye Zhen was heavily injured again. His expression was hideous. The patterns on his body dimmed slightly, and he bled from his seven orifices.
With a loud clang, he crashed into the huge pillar of the observatory platform.
The red lotus on the avatar spun and began to slow down.
When the head was tossed into the air, it dissipated into the air.
"Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 4,500 merit points."
Ye Zhen landed on the ground. He somersaulted and fell to his knees. He supported himself with his arms.
The life-changing technique he was most confident in was forcefully interrupted by Lu Zhou in the end.
The difference between them was vast.
Lu Zhou retracted Unnamed after he succeeded in his attack.
That sword was as fast as lightning. Almost no one noticed the black runes on Unnamed. Moreover, Unnamed was enveloped by the golden sword energy. There were also all sorts of red runes on it, dazzling everyone's eyes, making it even harder to see it clearly.
Ye Zhen was defeated again.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and looked at the kneeling Ye Zhen indifferently. "Ungrateful."
"…"
The 10,000 cultivators remained silent. They dared not make a sound.
Did Ye Zhen admit defeat?
"The difference is too great. There's no way Ye Zhen is a match for you, Brother Lu, "Sikong Beichen said.
The words' ungrateful 'pierced Ye Zhen's heart. He felt terrible.
Blood trickled from his seven orifices and dripped onto the stone slab.
Then, he channeled his Primal Qi into the stone slab. The four huge pillars formed pillars of light that sealed off the observatory platform. The six rocks hovering above the observatory platform glowed as well. They hooked and hooked, connecting with each other and forming a Formation.
Ye Zhen rose to his feet abruptly.
The blood that flowed from his eyes made him look terrifying. He was a far cry from the Confucian scholar he was before this.
The avatar's two remaining heads swayed.
"Observatory platform, Five Terminal Formation! Retreat! "Nie Qingyun suddenly remembered the Formation here. He hastily led the others and retreated.
The others were shocked as well. They retreated as well.
Sikong Beichen frowned slightly. "Five Terminal Formation?"
"The Five Terminal Formation is derived from the Ten Terminal Formation. The Formation isn't as large as the Ten Terminal Formation, but its power and effects are similar," Nie Qingyun explained.
Sikong Beichen looked at Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai and said, "Look after the others. I'll go down and help."
"There's no need for help," Yu Zhenghai said, "You'll know soon enough."
…
Great Yan's Ten Terminal Formation was inscribed by the Imperial tutor, Jiang Wenxu. Jiang Wenxu's true identity was an elder of the Flying Star House. Hence, it was not surprising that the red lotus domain had a Formation similar to the Ten Terminal Formation.
The Five Terminal Formation was instantly formed.
Ye Zhen seemed to have exhausted his Primal Qi. When he saw the Formation was formed, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. However, his smile was slightly hideous due to the blood on his face.
"Old geezer, you've underestimated me … The Five Terminal Formation is complete. 99% of the Primal Qi has been cut off. You can't kill me, but I can kill you. "
Ye Zhen wiped the blood off his face and looked at Lu Zhou with a murderous gaze.
Lu Zhou shook his head as though he was looking at a pitiful worm. He stroked his beard and said, "Pitiful worm, I don't think you know the difference between us."
"Let's die together!"
Ye Zhen stepped forward. With his last bit of Primal Qi, he charged forward with his avatar.
Two heads swooped down from above.
The second Ye Zhen was about to reach Lu Zhou, Lu Zhou conjured an energy sword with two fingers. The blue energy sword was swift and ruthless. It slashed at the head that dove down first.
Swoosh!
Another Nine Infants' head flew into the air.
"Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 4,500 merit points."
Lu Zhou retracted his palm and raised it again. He pushed his palm forward and used all of his extraordinary power to grab the last neck of Ye Zhen's Nine Infants.
Ye Zhen's eyes widened. "How's this possible?!"
Lu Zhou's expression was calm.
However, it was worth it to kill Ye Zhen with six lives. In addition to the one he lost earlier, he had seven lives in total. It was worth it.
Without his extraordinary power, the Five Terminal Formation did not leave much Primal Qi for Lu Zhou.
Similarly, it was not right to leave Ye Zhen.
However, Ye Zhen was still sprouting leaves!
With his Primal Qi cut off, it was only natural that his speed was extremely slow.
Lu Zhou shook his head and said indifferently, "All I have to do is twist my hand, and you'll die."
"No, no … no …" Ye Zhen was completely flustered.
…
The stargazing platform was silent.
The Flying Star House disciples and elders wanted to dive down, but when they saw Nie Qingyun and Sikong Beichen standing in front of them, none of them dared to move.
At this moment, the Five Terminal Formation shattered.
Primal Qi surged.
The pillars of light vanished, and the Daoist veins vanished as well.
At this moment, a crimson shadow rushed up from the bottom of the observatory and shouted, "Let's go!"
He shouted, "How dare you harm an elder of the Flying Star House? Die!"
The crimson energy sword was dozens of feet long and ten feet wide. It was aimed at Lu Zhou from below.
"Ten-leaf Chen Tiandu!"
"The house master is here!"
Ye Zhen was invigorated. He said in a trembling voice, "House Master, save me! He's out of Primal Qi! "
Chen Tiandu's 200-foot avatar was surrounded by dozens of feet of energy sword.
Lu Zhou frowned slightly.
Sikong Beichen joined his palms together and shouted, "I'll do it!"
Nie Qingyun stood before him. "What are you trying to do?"
"Move!" Sikong Beichen said gruffly.
Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai summoned their 150-foot avatars.
Nie Qingyun summoned his avatar as well.
A great battle was about to break out!
The elders and disciples of the Flying Star House moved closer.
At this moment, Lu Zhou did not loosen his grip on Jiu Ying's neck. He raised his left hand and launched a Deadly Strike. He pressed his fingers down. Abandon Wisdom!
The five-fingered palm seal expanded like a Buddha's palm seal!
The thousands of cultivators held their breaths as they watched this in shock.
Sikong Beichen remembered the moment when he was in the Holy Palace. He felt a familiar sensation.
"Brother Lu, you're finally not suppressing your cultivation base."
Nie Qingyun. "…"
The five-fingered palm seal shattered the crimson energy sword and continued to press down. Boom!
It smashed heavily into Chen Tiandu's facial features and chest, and fell straight into the foothills that were a thousand feet deep.
A five-fingered chasm was formed.
"Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 5,500 merit points. Domain extra: 1,500 merit points."
"…"
The tense atmosphere was immediately frozen by this earth-shattering palm.
The battle raged in the Yin Court. It killed a Ten-leaf cultivator with a single thought. Who among the thousands of cultivators would not shudder in fear?
