Lu Zhou turned to look, but his vision was blocked. Everything around him was like hell on earth. Everything was shrouded in black energy. The energy swords occupied the space within a radius of several thousand meters.
The Blackwatch Guards finally made their move.
Lu Zhou did not retreat. Instead, he charged forward and dodged the black energy swords that blotted out the sky.
However, under the control of the 1,000-foot-tall Formation flags, the energy swords became sharper and more powerful.
"Unnamed Shield."
He raised his hand to block the attack.
The shield was no longer a small shield. It immediately buzzed, and like a golden umbrella that could block the sky, it moved forward.
The shield that was like a canopy reeled back. Bam!
Bam! Bam!
The energy swords were pushed back by the Unnamed Shield.
Lu Zhou seized the opportunity to charge forward and activate his Birth Chart Heart.
A golden astrolabe appeared in his palm. He drew an arc in the air before five fiery energy seals shot out. Bam!
Bam! Bam!
Bam!
The five Blackwatch Guards blocked with their palms. The Thousand Realms Whirling was activated. The power of the light pillars pushed them back.
At the same time, the five black astrolabes shot out densely packed energy seals at Lu Zhou.
'Did I … go too far?'
Currently, Lu Zhou was surrounded by danger.
Once he used up his Profound Darkness Power, he would be done for.
He could not afford to be careless in this situation.
The Blackwatch Guards were from the Black Tower, and they were top-notch elites. It was only natural that they had some tricks up their sleeves.
"Formation flags …"
Lu Zhou looked at the 1,000-foot-tall Formation flags that kept swaying in the wind. The black energy swords crackled as they shot out of them.
He had to think of a way to get close to them.
His Birth Chart power and Profound Darkness Power were limited. He could not afford to waste them like this.
As he pondered, the 1,000-foot-tall Formation flags shot out energy swords that negated the Unnamed Shield. The entire world returned to the purgatory of energy swords.
"Dhyana Mudra."
Bam! Bam!
The Dhyana Mudra shot out the energy swords.
"Six Compatible Seal."
Eight Trigrams appeared under his feet, and ten shining golden characters appeared on his body.
The energy swords were pushed back.
Lu Zhou continued moving forward.
The Blackwatch Guards summoned their avatars at the same time and tossed out their halberds.
Lu Zhou glanced at them. 'Do I have to use a Deadly Strike Card? That's not worth it … Even if I kill one of them, there will still be four left.
Wait a little longer.
If it really didn't work, he could use his Fatal Strike and all of his Great Profundity Power to kill two of them. The remaining three would naturally be defeated.
The halberds spun around the Formation flags. The five halberds shone with a black radiance. Energy swirled around the halberds. With the support of the Formation flags, the five halberds seemed to pierce through the void as they shot toward Lu Zhou.
Meanwhile.
The black energy swords that blotted out the sky shielded the five halberds.
At this critical moment, Si Wuya's voice rang in the air.
"Master, Oceanic Soul Pearl."
Get a reminder.
Lu Zhou immediately produced the Sea Soul Pearl.
"Merge."
He activated the Sea Soul Pearl with his primordial qi.
With the Sea Soul Pearl as the center, the temperature within a radius of several thousand meters suddenly dropped.
Squeak —
Absolute Zero.
Under this effect, all the energy within the ice seal was frozen and stopped.
Everything was frozen.
The creaking sound of freezing spread out in all directions.
The black energy sword in the sky froze as well. Then, the five Formation flags turned into ice sculptures and stopped moving.
The five Black Insignia Guards spoke in unison without hesitation.
"Retreat."
"You want to leave? It's too late. "
Without the obstruction of the energy swords, Lu Zhou was like a fish in water. He activated his Birth Chart Heart. His body shone with golden light as he appeared next to one of the Black Insignia Guards and struck with a palm seal.
"Block."
The Black Insignia Guard's armor shone with Daoist veins.
A black astrolabe appeared before his chest.
"You can't block it!"
Boom!
This palm strike was imbued with vast Profound Power.
"Ahh!"
The astrolabe shrunk back into his body.
"Ding! Killed a Birth Chart. Reward: 6,000 merit points."
When the others saw this, they attacked from all directions.
Four black energy seals swept toward Lu Zhou.
With the Wisdom of Annihilation, one could maintain samadhi and appear everywhere. For example, light and shadow could appear everywhere and remain still in samadhi.
The blue lotus bloomed.
The Profound Power pushed the four Black Insignia Guards back again. Bam! Bam! Bam! The four Black Insignia Guards reeled back.
This was similar to the scene when he killed the Black Insignia Guard on Donglin Mountain Range.
Lu Zhou grabbed the Black Insignia Guard and struck five times in a row.
This time, there was no Profound Power.
One by one, Abandon Wisdom landed on the heart of the Wu Hei Guard.
Bam! Bam!
"No!"
Lu Zhou unsheathed his sword. Unnamed was shrouded in golden energy.
It flew toward the Black Insignia Guard who could not fight back after being struck by the five consecutive strikes.
The skies were filled with Lu Zhou's shadows.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Unnamed slashed the Black Insignia Guard's body with each strike.
After a series of dazzling attacks, Lu Zhou appeared near the Black Insignia Guard. With his back facing the Black Insignia Guard, he looked at the four Black Insignia Guards.
In his hand, Unnamed shone with a firefly-like golden radiance.
It was yet another "combination".
…
The battle stopped.
The Black Insignia Guard behind Lu Zhou remained motionless as though he had been immobilized.
He did not even look at the Black Insignia Guard. Instead, he stared at the remaining four Black Insignia Guards.
Crack!
The armor of the Black Insignia Guard behind Lu Zhou cracked and shattered.
Then, blood gushed out of his body.
He had been cut by Lu Zhou's Unnamed.
Blood gushed out like a faucet that had gone out of control.
"Ding! Killed a Birth Chart. Reward: 6,000 merit points."
"Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 8,000 merit points. Domain extra: 2,000 merit points."
The Black Insignia Guard fell into the basin and vanished. It would not be long before he became food for the beasts in the wilderness.
…
The remaining four Black Insignia Guards gulped. Their Adam's apple bobbed.
"Are we really going to make both sides suffer?" The Black Insignia Guard's voice turned hoarse.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou's expression remained calm.
Based on the Black Insignia Guard's words, it seemed like the Black Insignia Guards still had a trump card.
However, at this point, there was no way they would not pay the price for putting on airs.
"Make both sides suffer?" Lu Zhou shook his head.
"To be honest … we don't want to fight. The Black Insignia Guards are only the executors. The lord judge is right behind us … "the captain of the Black Insignia Guards projected a barrier and projected his voice.
"Lord judge?"
"Lord Wu likes to fight in the mountains. I admit that you're powerful … However, it's disadvantageous for both of us if we continue fighting like this. You're the elite who killed Yi Yao, aren't you? "the captain of the Black Insignia Guards asked.
"Indeed, I killed Yi Yao," Lu Zhou said calmly.
"I've been ordered to investigate this matter since half a year ago … If I wanted to, I would've done it a long time ago. Why would I wait until now? I thought you wouldn't care about these elementary Birth Charts now that you've entered the Thousand Worlds … I didn't expect to run into you. "The captain of the Black Insignia Guards shook his head.
"What's your purpose in telling me all this?" Lu Zhou's Unnamed was still in his hand.
"Let's both take a step back. Today's matter ends here," the captain of the Black Insignia Guards said.
"What if I don't agree?"
"…"
The captain of the Black Insignia Guards said helplessly, "Ever since I became a Black Insignia Guard, I knew I'd die one day … I want to live longer. The great world is fraught with danger. If I had a choice, I wouldn't be a Black Insignia Guard anymore. "
"Since you're aware of this, why are you threatening me?" Lu Zhou asked.
"I'm in my position," the Black Insignia Guard said, "If I knew it was you … I wouldn't have come to Donglin Mountain Range."
Staying alive was the most important thing to him.
This was the principle he had followed ever since he became a Black Insignia Guard.
Behind him, the Black Insignia Guard reminded him, "There's not enough time. Lord Wu, please wait for us."
There was still Lord Wu.
As expected …
A deep voice rang from the northernmost part of the mountain range.
"Is this your disciple? His scent … Interesting, interesting … He's smart to have found his way here. "
Lu Zhou jerked his head up and looked north.
When he looked behind him, Si Wuya was nowhere to be seen.
"Old Seventh?"
Lu Zhou's expression darkened as he looked at the four Black Insignia Guards. "Where is he?"
"Sir …"
"Bring me to him." Killing intent surged from Lu Zhou's body.
The Black Insignia Guard looked to his left and right before he waved his arm. A conflicted expression could be seen on his face as he said, "Lord Wu is one of the Four Great Judges of the black tower … To tell you the truth, I don't want to see you die."
Suddenly, he felt that the balance in the black tower was about to be broken.
"Don't force me to kill."
Lu Zhou's tone was cold.
The Black Insignia Guard pointed at the northern mountain range.
Lu Zhou's body shone with golden light again as he gave chase at lightning speed.
In just a blink of an eye, he vanished from sight.
The remaining four Black Insignia Guards sighed in relief.
"What do we do now? The mission has failed. "
"Report as it is … However, before that …" The captain of the Black Insignia Guards raised his hand and struck his chest.
He grunted and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Captain!"
"Do as you're told!"
The remaining Black Insignia Guards sighed and heavily injured themselves.
"Don't mention our two dead brothers … Many people from the black tower will be looking for him." The captain gestured to the sky and bowed. His eyes, which had been full of vigor, became cold again. "Don't blame me. Go in peace."
It was not easy for anyone to live in this world.
The four Black Insignia Guards flew toward the northern mountain range.
"What should we do if he tries to kill us?" another captain asked.
"Then … we'll take him down with us."
"…"
…
They flew north.
Lu Zhou exhausted the Speed Birth Chart's power.
Finally, he saw Dijiang hovering above the forest.
"Dijiang?"
Crack!
When Dijiang saw its true master, it flew over at lightning speed. Lu Zhou leaped and landed on its back.
"Where's Old Seventh?"
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Dijiang suddenly dove, nearly causing Lu Zhou to fall. Fortunately, his cultivation base was high enough that he was able to adjust himself quickly.
He roughly understood the situation now.
Si Wuya must have found out something. He must have come here on the Imperial River to find out what was going on. He did not expect to encounter the Eight Birth Chart Nephilic Judge!
'Captured?'
Lu Zhou closed his eyes slightly.
The Heavenly Writing power. A blue light shone in his eyes.
Si Wuya appeared in his field of vision.
In the clouds, Si Wuya was caught by a huge black hand seal. He could not break free.
"Great Void aura! It's the Great Void aura … The heavens are on my side! The heavens are on my side!"
Lu Zhou opened his eyes abruptly and looked up at the skies.
Amid the clouds, a black lotus with a round bottom appeared before his eyes. The black lotus shot toward the secrets of the heavens and tore through the clouds.
The black lotus shone brightly in the skies.
